(我们的课程提供了提升滑雪技术、获得自信、跳过缆车排队以及探索惠斯勒黑梳山奇观的最佳机会)”可知，惠斯勒黑梳山滑雪学校为学员提供的好处包括可以跳过缆车排队。故选A项。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据“PRICING”部分表格中“Lesson and Lift Holiday Season 7 Days in advance $1105 (含缆车课程 假期季提前7天 1105美元)”和下面“Holiday season: Dec.16 to Jan.14, Feb.12 to 25, Mar.26 to Apr. 8 (假日季：12月16日至1月14日，2月12日至25日，3月26日至4月8日)”可知，二月(2月12日至25日)属于假日季；一月预订属于“7天前预订”。因此，含缆车的假日季课程费用为每人$1105。三人总费用为：$1105×3 = $3315。故选D项。 【23题详解】 推理判断题。根据“TEEN LESSONS”部分的“BENEFITS”中“Hang out with those of similar age and ability.

It refers to the process by which human beings are turned into workers and nothing else. Work becomes total when it is the center of all human life; when everything else serves work; when leisure, celebration and play begin to look like and then become work; when there is no part of life left beyond work; when people fully believe that we were born only to work; and when other ways of life, which existed before total work won out, completely disappear from our cultural memory. What is so troubling about total work is not only that it causes unnecessary human suffering, but also that it removes the forms of playful contemplation concerned with our asking, pondering and answering the most basic questions of existence. First, there is always a sense of pressure, a feeling that there is always something that needs to be done right now. Second, one feels guilty whenever he is not as productive as possible. The burden character of total work is marked by endless, restless activity, worry about the future, a feeling that life is too much to handle, troubling thoughts about missed chances, and guilt over the possibility of being lazy. In short, total work necessarily causes dukkha, a Buddhist term referring to the unsatisfactory nature of a life filled with suffering. Besides causing suffering, total work blocks our access to higher levels of reality. What is lost in the world of total work is art’s showing of beauty, love’s pure joy, and philosophy’s sense of wonder. All of these require silence, stillness, and a true willingness to simply experience. If meaning is what allows us to connect with something greater than ourselves, then what is lost in a world of total work is the very possibility of experiencing meaning. What is lost is the search for why we are here. 24. Which of the following best reflects the feature of total work? A. Work is considered as an important part of life. B. People are devoted to pursuing their career goals. C. Work almost dominates every aspect of human life. D. People feel proud when they are highly productive. 25. What does the underlined word “dukkha” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. A constant sense of pressure. B. A lasting state of eagerness. C. A temporary feeling of regret. D. A deep desire for achievement. 26. What can be inferred about the impact of total work on human experience? A. It forces people to seek different meanings in life. B. It makes people more productive and spiritually fulfilled. C. It strengthens people’s connection with higher levels of reality. D. It reduces the possibility of having precious spiritual experiences. 27. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. How to Balance Work and Leisure B. What is Lost in a World of Total Work C. Say Goodbye to Work-Centered Existence D. Total Work to Blame for Productivity Decline 【答案】24. C 25. A 26. D 27. B 【解析】 【导语】文章介绍了哲学概念“全盘劳作”，阐释其以工作裹挟人生全部、带来身心煎熬，还使人失去审美、爱与哲思等精神体验，论述全盘劳作造成的种种损失。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“‘Total work’ is a term first used by the German philosopher Josef Pieper after World War II. It refers to the process by which human beings are turned into workers and nothing else. Work becomes total when it is the center of all human life; when everything else serves work; when leisure, celebration and play begin to look like and then become work; when there is no part of life left beyond work; when people fully believe that we were born only to work; and when other ways of life, which existed before total work won out, completely disappear from our cultural memory. (‘全盘劳作’是德国哲学家约瑟夫・皮佩尔在二战后首次提出的概念，指人被单一塑造成劳动者、再无其他身份的生存状态。当工作成为人生核心、万事都要为工作让步；休闲、欢庆、玩乐慢慢异化、最终沦为劳作；生活再无工作之外的空间；人们深信人生来只为工作；以往多元的生活方式从文明记忆里彻底消逝时，全盘劳作便形成了。)”可知，“全盘劳作”指的是人被单一塑造成劳动者、再无其他身份的生存状态，其核心特征是工作几乎支配了生活的方方面面。 【25题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段“The burden character of total work is marked by endless, restless activity, worry about the future, a feeling that life is too much to handle, troubling thoughts about missed chances, and guilt over the possibility of being lazy. In short, total work necessarily causes dukkha, a Buddhist term referring to the unsatisfactory nature of a life filled with suffering. (全盘劳作的重压体现为无休止的奔波、对未来的焦虑、不堪重负的疲惫、惋惜错失机遇以及对可能变得懒惰的愧疚感。简言之，全盘劳作必然催生佛家所说的dukkha，即充斥磨难、缺憾的人生常态。)”可知，前文提到全盘劳作会带来无休止的奔波、焦虑、疲惫、惋惜及愧疚，后文明确解释它是“充斥磨难、缺憾的人生常态”，由此可推测，dukkha指的是“持续的压力感”。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据最有一段“Besides causing suffering, total work blocks our access to higher levels of reality. What is lost in the world of total work is art’s showing of beauty, love’s pure joy, and philosophy’s sense of wonder. All of these require silence, stillness, and a true willingness to simply experience. If meaning is what allows us to connect with something greater than ourselves, then what is lost in a world of total work is the very possibility of experiencing meaning. What is lost is the search for why we are here. (除带来痛苦外，全盘劳作隔断人触碰更高精神境界的通道：艺术之美、纯粹的爱恋及哲学所带来的惊奇感悉数消亡，而这些美好都需要静心、放空与沉浸式感受。人生的意义源于联结自我之外的宏大事物，全盘劳作夺走了体悟生命意义、探寻人为何活着的全部可能。)”可知，全盘劳作隔断了人触碰更高精神境界的通道，让人们失去艺术美、爱、哲学思考和人生意义的体验，可推知它降低了人们获得珍贵精神体验的可能性。 【27题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最有一段“Besides causing suffering, total work blocks our access to higher levels of reality.

(除带来痛苦外，全盘劳作隔断人触碰更高精神境界的通道：艺术之美、纯粹的爱恋及哲学所带来的惊奇感悉数消亡，而这些美好都需要静心、放空与沉浸式感受。人生的意义源于联结自我之外的宏大事物，全盘劳作夺走了体悟生命意义、探寻人为何活着的全部可能。)”并结合全文可知，文章先介绍“全盘劳作”的定义，之后重点分析它的危害：除了带来痛苦，还会让人类失去诸多珍贵的精神体验。B选项“What is Lost in a World of Total Work (在全盘劳作的世界里，我们失去了什么)”符合文章主旨，适合作为标题。 C Almost every Monday morning, plenty of us can be found daydreaming about taking off and escaping the daily routine. Few of us, once we’re buried in grown up employment and adult responsibilities, have the courage to actually do it. But one couple did. Josie Scott and Graeme Ramsey, based in New Zealand, decided to take a one-year vacation from their lives. Rather than committing to a full-time position as beach-goers or backpackers, they chose to volunteer in Ghana for a year, in a small village called Dzita. Having stayed at MMT, a not-for-profit lodge that offers accommodation and helps the functioning of an NGO, Dream Big Ghana, which works to improve the public hygiene (卫生), education and health care for local people before, Josie knew how it worked and about the good it did with the local community. She then volunteered herself and Graeme to run the lodge for a year. And so began a year of African adventure away from everything they were used to. They greeted guests and took bookings, cooked and cleaned, shopped and swam and finally become a part of this tiny village community. One year on and Josie and Graeme are now back in New Zealand adjusting to life at home. The couple think they’ve got a lot from that experience, the most important of which is patience. “Time is viewed differently and so expecting things to run the same way as they do in New Zealand is going to lead to disappointment. Everything gets done in its own time, and that was a very valuable lesson to learn. People are also very friendly in Ghana, but it actually takes a long time to really get to know what’s going on. Being patient and building relationships slowly is very rewarding. Using what we have rather than what we think we need was another lesson. Living outside the city with few resources is a good way to learn to make good use of what’s around us.” 28. Why do we often fail to escape from the daily routine? A. Because our kids are growing up. B. Because we are not confident enough. C. Because we have many duties to perform. D. Because we are employed in big businesses. 29. What does the underlined word “lodge” mean in the third paragraph? A. A small hotel. B. A charity foundation. C. A royal fountain. D. A travel agency. 30. What did the couple do during their stay in Africa? A. Go to different beaches. B. Set up their own company. C. Hike with their backpacks. D. Work in the local community. 31. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. Patience and adapting to local rhythms are valuable lessons. B. They found city life in New Zealand meaningless. C. They will move to Ghana to work full-time. D. Ghana’s way of life is more efficient than the other places. 【答案】28. C 29. A 30. D 31. A 【解析】 【导语】文章主要讲述了一对新西兰夫妇辞去工作，前往加纳村庄志愿服务一年的经历及其收获。 【28题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“Almost every Monday morning, plenty of us can be found daydreaming about taking off and escaping the daily routine. Few of us, once we’re buried in grown up employment and adult responsibilities, have the courage to actually do it. (几乎每个星期一的早晨，我们中的许多人都会做着逃离日常生活的白日梦。一旦我们深陷成年人的工作和成年人的责任之中，很少有人有勇气真正去做这件事)”可知，我们常常无法逃离日常生活是因为我们有许多责任要履行。 【29题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词所在句“Having stayed at MMT, a not-for-profit lodge that offers accommodation... (曾住过MMT，一个提供住宿的非营利性lodge……)”中“stayed at MMT”和“that offers accommodation”可推知，lodge是指提供住宿的地方，类似于小旅馆。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Having stayed at MMT, a not-for-profit lodge that offers accommodation and helps the functioning of an NGO, Dream Big Ghana, which works to improve the public hygiene (卫生), education and health care for local people before, Josie knew how it worked and about the good it did with the local community. She then volunteered herself and Graeme to run the lodge for a year.(乔西此前曾入住过 MMT 民宿。这是一家非营利性民宿，既提供住宿，也协助非政府组织 “大梦加纳” 开展工作。该组织致力于改善当地民众的公共卫生、教育及医疗服务。因此乔西十分了解这家民宿的运营模式，也清楚它为当地社区带来的积极影响。随后，她主动和格雷姆一起报名，志愿运营这家民宿一年)”根据第四段中“And so began a year of African adventure away from everything they were used to. They greeted guests and took bookings, cooked and cleaned, shopped and swam and finally become a part of this tiny village community. (于是，他们开始了一年的非洲冒险之旅，远离了他们所习惯的一切。他们迎接客人、接受预订、做饭、打扫、购物、游泳，并最终成为这个小村庄社区的一部分)”可知，这对夫妇在非洲期间在当地社区工作。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“The couple think they’ve got a lot from that experience, the most important of which is patience.(这对夫妇认为他们从那段经历中获益良多，其中最重要的是耐心)”和“Time is viewed differently and so expecting things to run the same way as they do in New Zealand is going to lead to disappointment. Everything gets done in its own time, and that was a very valuable lesson to learn. People are also very friendly in Ghana, but it actually takes a long time to really get to know what’s going on. Being patient and building relationships slowly is very rewarding.(对时间的看法不同，所以期望事情像在新西兰那样运作会导致失望。每件事都会在它该完成的时候完成，这是非常宝贵的一课。加纳人也非常友好，但要真正了解情况确实需要很长时间。保持耐心并慢慢建立关系是非常有意义的)”可推知，作者告诉我们的宝贵经验是要有耐心，每件事都会在它该完成的时候完成，要适应当地节奏。 D For customers who don’t have the freedom to choose where they shop, technological advancements are making price discrimination (歧视) increasingly likely. Flexibility-based price discrimination allows companies to charge different people different prices for the same product or service, based on how easily they can walk away. When consumers can easily find better deals elsewhere, they hold the power. However, AI tools are allowing sellers to become increasingly expert at uncovering how much flexibility their consumers have, which raises serious concerns. In a recent study, we examined how flexibility-based price discrimination affects a seller’s profitability in a competitive market, and studied how consumer welfare is affected. The findings demonstrated that companies that utilize consumer inflexibility are likely to boom, often at the expense of those with the least power to choose. They don’t just raise prices when customers aren’t able to easily switch to a competitor, for low-income consumers they reduce product quality as well. This double blow hits low-income consumers hard. Dollar stores, for example, often serve low-income communities in smaller markets. When these retailers realize their customers have limited alternatives, they are less likely to keep prices low. Moreover, tests revealed the presence of poisonous components in colorfully labeled children’s products at American and Canadian dollar stores. But this is only part of the story. When these same techniques are used to target wealthier consumers, it can result in positive social outcomes for them. In contrast, high-income consumers may see their product quality improve. This is because high-income consumers are willing and able to pay for the improved quality and technology-enabled price discrimination can enable the seller to satisfy their needs better. The same thing happens with trade barriers and tariffs (关税). Product quality, price and income are known to be interconnected, with lower-income inflexible consumers suffering more than high-income consumers in the same situation. Any barriers that reduce consumer flexibility disproportionately harm low-income consumers, who are more likely to face lower-quality products as a result. Our study provides valuable insights for both lawmakers and policymakers. It shows that new policies are necessary to protect vulnerable consumers with limited flexibility from price discrimination. 32. What does the underlined word “utilize” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Refer to. B. Depend on. C. Take advantage of. D. Get rid of. 33. What do companies tend to do when consumers lack purchase choices? A. Expand product varieties. B. Lower prices to attract more customers. C. Reduce product quality for low-income groups. D. Prioritize the needs of high-income consumers. 34. Why does the author mention dollar stores? A. To show how companies draw on consumer inflexibility. B. To highlight health risks for children in low-income areas. C. To criticize their addition of harmful chemicals in products. D. To compare product quality between different income groups. 35. What is the author’s attitude toward price discrimination? A. Favourable. B. Skeptical. C. Objective. D. Disapproving. 【答案】32. C 33. C 34. A 35. C 【解析】 【导语】这篇文章主要探讨了技术催生差异化定价，商家利用消费者选择受限牟利，损害低收入群体，却利好高收入人群，文章呼吁出台政策保护弱势消费者。 【32题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段中“In a recent study, we examined how flexibility-based price discrimination affects a seller’s profitability in a competitive market, and studied how consumer welfare is affected.( 最近的一项研究探讨了基于灵活性的价格歧视如何影响竞争市场中卖家的盈利能力，以及对消费者福利的影响。)”以及划线单词句中“The findings demonstrated that companies that… consumer inflexibility are likely to boom, often at the expense of those with the least power to choose.(研究结果表明，那些……消费者缺乏灵活性的企业往往能够迅速发展，但通常是以牺牲最缺乏选择权的人群为代价。)”可知，此处指企业利用消费者缺乏选择灵活性的弱点来盈利。故可猜测划线单词utilize为“利用”的意思，和C选项Take advantage of“利用”意思一致。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“They don’t just raise prices when customers aren’t able to easily switch to a competitor, for low-income consumers they reduce product quality as well. This double blow hits low-income consumers hard.( 这些企业不仅在顾客难以转向竞争对手时抬高价格，对低收入消费者还会降低产品质量。这种双重打击对低收入群体造成了沉重打击。)”可知，当消费者缺乏购买选择时，企业通常会为低收入群体降低产品质量。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“The findings demonstrated that companies that utilize consumer inflexibility are likely to boom, often at the expense of those with the least power to choose.(研究结果表明，那些利用消费者缺乏灵活性的企业往往能够迅速发展，但通常是以牺牲最缺乏选择权的人群为代价。)”以及第三段“Dollar stores, for example, often serve low-income communities in smaller markets. When these retailers realize their customers have limited alternatives, they are less likely to keep prices low. Moreover, tests revealed the presence of poisonous components in colorfully labeled children’s products at American and Canadian dollar stores.(例如，美元商店通常服务于小市场的低收入社区。当这些零售商意识到顾客的选择有限时，他们更可能不再维持低价。此外，测试发现，在美加货币商店中，色彩鲜艳的儿童产品存在有毒成分。)”可推知，作者提到美元商店是为了说明企业如何利用消费者的不灵活性。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“They don’t just raise prices when customers aren’t able to easily switch to a competitor, for low-income consumers they reduce product quality as well. This double blow hits low-income consumers hard.( 这些企业不仅在顾客难以转向竞争对手时抬高价格，对低收入消费者还会降低产品质量。这种双重打击对低收入群体造成了沉重打击。)”以及第四段中“When these same techniques are used to target wealthier consumers, it can result in positive social outcomes for them. In contrast, high-income consumers may see their product quality improve. This is because high-income consumers are willing and able to pay for the improved quality and technology-enabled price discrimination can enable the seller to satisfy their needs better.(当同样的策略用于针对较富裕的消费者时，可能会为他们带来积极的社会影响。相比之下，高收入消费者可能会看到产品质量得到提升。这是因为高收入消费者愿意为更高的质量付费，而技术赋能的价格歧视则使卖家能够更好地满足他们的需求。)”可知，作者既指出了基于灵活性的价格歧视对低收入消费者的严重伤害（涨价 + 降质），也客观提到它可能为高收入消费者带来更好的产品质量；基于研究结果提出了针对性的政策建议，没有完全否定或片面肯定这一现象。由此可知，作者对价格歧视的态度是客观中立的。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Festivals are lively celebrations that bring together music, art, food, and culture.

These can offer unique experiences, and may lead you to your new favorite activity. Document your experience. Take photos and videos to remember the joyful moments.

I’ve discovered China is a country ____57____deserts, mountains, forests and tundra are best explored on the backs of yaks, horses, elephants and ostriches. While too much of the world misunderstands too much of China, nobody in the world understands all of it — or even close to enough of it — ____58____(include) even Chinese people. I was particularly honored when many overseas friends said my latest book, A Global Nomad’s Journey Through China’s Poverty Alleviation — which goes beyond policy technicalities (技术性细节) to tell the ____59____(person) stories of how measures have transformed lives across remote corners of the country — ____60____(change) their views on China for the better. But I was ____61____(especial) delighted when many Chinese readers said that they had learned about their own country from reading this book, ____62____ (write) by a foreigner. That was a less-expected honor. While we initially released the book ____63____English and Chinese, I was delighted that an Italian publisher asked to translate and publish it and ____64____ a Nepalese publisher followed suit, bringing this story to more people in more languages. That’s because, as Nelson Mandela once said, “If you talk to a man in a language he understands, that goes to his head. If you talk to him in his own language, that goes to ____65____heart.” 【答案】56. to tell 57. where##whose 58. including 59. personal 60. had changed 61. especially 62. written 63. in 64. that 65. his 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。短文叙述了作者作为一名“用笔探索”的旅行者，分享了自己20年来游历中国偏远地区的经历与感悟。 【56题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：过去20年里，我作为一名“用笔探索”的旅行者，游历了这个广袤国家的偏远角落——起初希望讲述中国的故事，最终却亲身经历了它；不仅听闻它，而且亲身参与其中；不仅见证它，还无意间成为了它的一部分。此处为固定搭配“hope to do sth.”，意为“希望做某事”，不定式作宾语，故填to tell。 【57题详解】 考查定语从句。句意：我发现，在中国，沙漠、山脉、森林和苔原地区，最好的探索方式是骑牦牛、马、大象和鸵鸟。此处引导定语从句，先行词为a country，关系词在从句中作地点状语，应用关系副词where。也可以为先行词作从句中的定语，用关系代词whose引导从句。故填where/whose。 【58题详解】 考查介词。句意：尽管世界上很多人对中国存在诸多误解，但世界上没有人能完全理解中国——甚至远远不够——甚至包括中国人自己。结合句意，“中国人自己”是“没有人能完全理解中国”这一群体的延伸，应用介词including，意为“包括……在内”。故填including。 【59题详解】 考查形容词。句意：当许多海外友人表示我的最新著作《一个环球游牧者的中国扶贫之旅》——这本书超越了政策的技术性细节，讲述了这些措施如何改变中国偏远地区人们生活的个人故事——改变了他们对中国的看法，从而让他们对中国的印象变得更好时，我感到特别荣幸。此处修饰名词stories，应用形容词形式，personal意为“个人的”，符合“聚焦个体生活改变”的语境，故填personal。 【60题详解】 考查动词时态。句意：当许多海外友人表示我的最新著作《一个环球游牧者的中国扶贫之旅》——这本书超越了政策的技术性细节，讲述了这些措施如何改变中国偏远地区人们生活的个人故事——改变了他们对中国的看法，从而让他们对中国的印象变得更好时，我感到特别荣幸。主语为my latest book与change之间是主动关系（书改变了看法），根据主句中的谓语said可知，改变发生在过去的过去，表示对于过去产生的影响，用过去完成时。故填had changed。 【61题详解】 考查副词。句意：但当许多中国读者说他们通过读这本由外国人写的书，了解到了自己的国家时，我感到尤其高兴。此处修饰形容词delighted，应用副词形式，especially意为“尤其，特别”，强调对比海外友人的认可，中国读者的反馈更让作者意外和欣喜，故填especially。 【62题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：但当许多中国读者说他们通过读这本由外国人写的书，了解到了自己的国家时，我感到尤其高兴。此处为非谓语动词作定语，book与write之间是被动关系（书被写），应用过去分词written，故填written。 【63题详解】 考查介词。句意：虽然我们最初以英文和中文出版了这本书，但当一家意大利出版商要求翻译出版，且一家尼泊尔出版商也跟进时，我感到非常高兴，这让这个故事能以更多语言带给更多人。此处表示“以某种语言（出版）”，应用介词in，固定搭配“in + 语言”表示语言媒介，故填in。 【64题详解】 考查宾语从句。句意：虽然我们最初以英文和中文出版了这本书，但当一家意大利出版商要求翻译出版，且一家尼泊尔出版商也跟进时，我感到非常高兴，这让这个故事能以更多语言带给更多人。分析句子结构，that an Italian publisher asked to translate and publish it为宾语从句，空处同样引导宾语从句，陈述事实，不缺少成分和意义，用that引导宾语从句。故填that。 【65题详解】 考查代词。句意：如果你用一个人能理解的语言和他交谈，话语会进入他的大脑；如果你用他自己的语言和他交谈，话语会进入他的内心。此处指代前文的“a man”，应用形容词性物主代词his修饰名词heart，与前文的“his head”形成对应，故填his。 第四部分 写作（共两节，满分40分） 第一节（满分15分） 66. 假定你是李华，近期学校要组织“英语文化节”活动，需招募10名学生志愿者，为文化节的才艺秀、英语演讲比赛以及英语辩论赛等提供服务。请你以短文形式写一则招聘广告。 1.招聘岗位信息； 2.应聘条件：支持学校的活动，能胜任工作；善于沟通，与同学相处融洽； 3.工作时间：上午8点至下午4点；工作内容：具体任务可协商； 4.联系人：李华（138xxxx8888）；招聘截止日期：本周三。 注意： 1.词数80个左右； 2.可适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。 ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Volunteers Wanted for English Culture Festival Our school is going to hold the English Culture Festival and now we are recruiting 10 student volunteers.

While his younger sister, Lily, was outgoing and effortlessly charmed everyone at gatherings, Lucas often found himself in the background, a silent observer. At 16, he felt invisible, especially when it came to expressing his own thoughts and feelings. His family meant well, but they often spoke for him, assuming they knew what he was thinking. This assumption became painfully clear during the planning for Grandpa’s 80th birthday party. The whole family gathered around the table, talking excitedly about party preparations, decorations, food and entertainment. “Lucas can help with the setup,” his aunt declared without looking at him. “And he can serve the cake,” his uncle added. Lucas opened his mouth to speak, to say he actually wanted to give a short speech, a tribute (致敬词) he had been secretly writing for weeks in his notebook. He wanted to tell everyone about the special fishing trips he and Grandpa had taken, the ones where he taught him to be patient, to listen, and to find strength in silence. But the words got stuck in his throat. His mother, noticing his hesitation, said gently, “Don’t worry, son. We’ll handle everything.” That night, Lucas sat in his room, staring at his notebook. The speech felt like a secret part of him, locked away. He had always let others define his role — the quiet one, the helper. But this time felt different. He realized that if he never spoke up, no one would ever know the person he truly was. A new determination began to form inside him. The day of the party arrived. The house was filled with laughter and the smell of home-cooked food. Grandpa, sitting in his favorite armchair, was surrounded by family. Lucas watched from the doorway, his heart pounding. He seized the folded piece of paper in his pocket. Everyone was having a good time. Would his small moment of bravery ruin it? He took a deep breath, remembering Grandpa’s words on their last fishing trip: “The bravest thing you can do, Lucas, is to be yourself.” 注意： 续写词数应为150个左右； 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Just before the cake announcement, Lucas stepped forward, his voice trembling but clear. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ When he finished, Grandpa slowly rose from his chair. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Just before the cake announcement, Lucas stepped forward, his voice trembling but clear. ‌“Wait, please. I’d like to say something.” The room went quiet. He looked at Grandpa, not at the paper. ‌“Grandpa taught me that silence isn’t empty — it’s full of things we’re brave enough to feel.” He spoke of their fishing trips, the misty mornings, and how Grandpa showed him patience and strength. He told them about learning to wait, to listen, and to find his own voice. His words came from the heart, each sentence stronger than the last. ‌“So this is my tribute — not to your years, but to the moments you gave me.” When he finished, Grandpa slowly rose from his chair. His eyes were wet as he walked over and put a hand on Lucas’s shoulder. ‌“That,” he said softly, ‌“was the most beautiful gift I’ve ever received.” The room erupted in applause, and Lily wiped her tears. Lucas felt a weight lift from his chest. Grandpa leaned close and whispered, ‌“I’ve always known who you are. Now everyone else does too.” Lucas hugged him tightly, realizing that being seen wasn’t about being loud — it was about being true. For the first time, he felt not invisible, but seen. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述内向的Lucas一直被家人忽视，在爷爷80岁生日派对上，他鼓起勇气准备发表自己偷偷写好的致敬词，展现真实的自我。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句可知，第一段可描写Lucas勇敢地请求发言，讲述与爷爷钓鱼的经历和从中学到的品质，真诚地表达对爷爷的敬意与感谢。 ②由第二段首句可知，第二段可描写爷爷起身走向Lucas，动情地拥抱他并给予肯定，全家人为之动容鼓掌，Lucas终于感受到被看见的喜悦，明白做真实的自己才是最大的勇气。 2. 续写线索：勇敢开口——讲述钓鱼故事——表达敬意——爷爷起身——温暖拥抱——领悟真我价值 3. 词汇激活： 行为类： ①意识到：realize/become aware/come to realize ②拥抱：hug/embrace 情绪类： ①勇敢的：brave/courageous ②如释重负：feel a weight lift/feel relieved 【点睛】[高分句型1] He spoke of their fishing trips, the misty mornings, and how Grandpa showed him patience and strength.

It refers to the process by which human beings are turned into workers and nothing else. Work becomes total when it is the center of all human life; when everything else serves work; when leisure, celebration and play begin to look like and then become work; when there is no part of life left beyond work; when people fully believe that we were born only to work; and when other ways of life, which existed before total work won out, completely disappear from our cultural memory. What is so troubling about total work is not only that it causes unnecessary human suffering, but also that it removes the forms of playful contemplation concerned with our asking, pondering and answering the most basic questions of existence. First, there is always a sense of pressure, a feeling that there is always something that needs to be done right now. Second, one feels guilty whenever he is not as productive as possible. The burden character of total work is marked by endless, restless activity, worry about the future, a feeling that life is too much to handle, troubling thoughts about missed chances, and guilt over the possibility of being lazy. In short, total work necessarily causes dukkha, a Buddhist term referring to the unsatisfactory nature of a life filled with suffering. Besides causing suffering, total work blocks our access to higher levels of reality. What is lost in the world of total work is art’s showing of beauty, love’s pure joy, and philosophy’s sense of wonder. All of these require silence, stillness, and a true willingness to simply experience. If meaning is what allows us to connect with something greater than ourselves, then what is lost in a world of total work is the very possibility of experiencing meaning. What is lost is the search for why we are here. 24. Which of the following best reflects the feature of total work? A. Work is considered as an important part of life. B. People are devoted to pursuing their career goals. C. Work almost dominates every aspect of human life. D. People feel proud when they are highly productive. 25. What does the underlined word “dukkha” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. A constant sense of pressure. B. A lasting state of eagerness. C. A temporary feeling of regret. D. A deep desire for achievement. 26. What can be inferred about the impact of total work on human experience? A. It forces people to seek different meanings in life. B. It makes people more productive and spiritually fulfilled. C. It strengthens people’s connection with higher levels of reality. D. It reduces the possibility of having precious spiritual experiences. 27. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. How to Balance Work and Leisure B. What is Lost in a World of Total Work C. Say Goodbye to Work-Centered Existence D. Total Work to Blame for Productivity Decline C Almost every Monday morning, plenty of us can be found daydreaming about taking off and escaping the daily routine. Few of us, once we’re buried in grown up employment and adult responsibilities, have the courage to actually do it. But one couple did. Josie Scott and Graeme Ramsey, based in New Zealand, decided to take a one-year vacation from their lives. Rather than committing to a full-time position as beach-goers or backpackers, they chose to volunteer in Ghana for a year, in a small village called Dzita. Having stayed at MMT, a not-for-profit lodge that offers accommodation and helps the functioning of an NGO, Dream Big Ghana, which works to improve the public hygiene (卫生), education and health care for local people before, Josie knew how it worked and about the good it did with the local community. She then volunteered herself and Graeme to run the lodge for a year. And so began a year of African adventure away from everything they were used to. They greeted guests and took bookings, cooked and cleaned, shopped and swam and finally become a part of this tiny village community. One year on and Josie and Graeme are now back in New Zealand adjusting to life at home. The couple think they’ve got a lot from that experience, the most important of which is patience. “Time is viewed differently and so expecting things to run the same way as they do in New Zealand is going to lead to disappointment. Everything gets done in its own time, and that was a very valuable lesson to learn. People are also very friendly in Ghana, but it actually takes a long time to really get to know what’s going on. Being patient and building relationships slowly is very rewarding. Using what we have rather than what we think we need was another lesson. Living outside the city with few resources is a good way to learn to make good use of what’s around us.” 28. Why do we often fail to escape from the daily routine? A. Because our kids are growing up. B. Because we are not confident enough. C. Because we have many duties to perform. D. Because we are employed in big businesses. 29. What does the underlined word “lodge” mean in the third paragraph? A. A small hotel. B. A charity foundation. C. A royal fountain. D. A travel agency. 30. What did the couple do during their stay in Africa? A. Go to different beaches. B. Set up their own company. C. Hike with their backpacks. D. Work in the local community. 31. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. Patience and adapting to local rhythms are valuable lessons. B. They found city life in New Zealand meaningless. C. They will move to Ghana to work full-time. D. Ghana’s way of life is more efficient than the other places. D For customers who don’t have the freedom to choose where they shop, technological advancements are making price discrimination (歧视) increasingly likely. Flexibility-based price discrimination allows companies to charge different people different prices for the same product or service, based on how easily they can walk away. When consumers can easily find better deals elsewhere, they hold the power. However, AI tools are allowing sellers to become increasingly expert at uncovering how much flexibility their consumers have, which raises serious concerns. In a recent study, we examined how flexibility-based price discrimination affects a seller’s profitability in a competitive market, and studied how consumer welfare is affected. The findings demonstrated that companies that utilize consumer inflexibility are likely to boom, often at the expense of those with the least power to choose. They don’t just raise prices when customers aren’t able to easily switch to a competitor, for low-income consumers they reduce product quality as well. This double blow hits low-income consumers hard. Dollar stores, for example, often serve low-income communities in smaller markets. When these retailers realize their customers have limited alternatives, they are less likely to keep prices low. Moreover, tests revealed the presence of poisonous components in colorfully labeled children’s products at American and Canadian dollar stores. But this is only part of the story. When these same techniques are used to target wealthier consumers, it can result in positive social outcomes for them. In contrast, high-income consumers may see their product quality improve. This is because high-income consumers are willing and able to pay for the improved quality and technology-enabled price discrimination can enable the seller to satisfy their needs better. The same thing happens with trade barriers and tariffs (关税). Product quality, price and income are known to be interconnected, with lower-income inflexible consumers suffering more than high-income consumers in the same situation. Any barriers that reduce consumer flexibility disproportionately harm low-income consumers, who are more likely to face lower-quality products as a result. Our study provides valuable insights for both lawmakers and policymakers. It shows that new policies are necessary to protect vulnerable consumers with limited flexibility from price discrimination. 32. What does the underlined word “utilize” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Refer to. B. Depend on. C. Take advantage of. D. Get rid of. 33. What do companies tend to do when consumers lack purchase choices? A. Expand product varieties. B. Lower prices to attract more customers. C. Reduce product quality for low-income groups. D. Prioritize the needs of high-income consumers. 34. Why does the author mention dollar stores? A. To show how companies draw on consumer inflexibility. B. To highlight health risks for children in low-income areas. C. To criticize their addition of harmful chemicals in products. D. To compare product quality between different income groups. 35. What is the author’s attitude toward price discrimination? A. Favourable. B. Skeptical. C. Objective. D. Disapproving. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Festivals are lively celebrations that bring together music, art, food, and culture. Whether you’re a first-timer or a festival regular, making your experience unforgettable takes some planning and preparation. Here are some useful tips to help you make the most of your festival trip. Choose the right festival. Start by picking a festival that suits you. There are so many options — music festivals, food fairs, or art events. Take time to find one that matches your interests. ____36____ For example, if you love jazz, look for a jazz festival. If you enjoy local food, find a festival that features regional dishes. Plan ahead. First, buy your tickets early, as tickets to popular festivals often sell out fast. ____37____ Also, check the festival schedule ahead of time. Knowing the lineup and key events will help you plan your days effectively. And don’t forget to arrange your travel and stay in advance. Get into the culture. Every festival has its own typical culture. ____38____ Take the time to explore different aspects of the festival beyond just the main events. Chat with local artists, join a workshop, or attend a talk. These small moments often enable a deeper connection to the event and its theme. ____39____ Part of the fun of festivals is the unexpected. You might come across a small hidden performance, discover an artist you’ve never heard of, or find a quiet spot away from the crowd. Try to attend some of the less popular events. These can offer unique experiences, and may lead you to your new favorite activity. Document your experience. Take photos and videos to remember the joyful moments. You could also keep a journal (日记) or blog to reflect on your experiences. But make sure to truly enjoy the moment; sometimes the best experiences are the ones you don’t document but feel deeply. ____40____ A. Be open to surprises. B. Connect with professionals. C. Early-bird tickets can save you money. D. It means appreciating what you have right now. E. And enjoying it can lead to unforgettable experiences. F. Consider factors such as the style, location, and atmosphere. G. Thus, balancing memory-keeping with being present is significant. 第三部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节 完形填空（共15小题，每小题1分，共15分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项 Last year, anxiety weighed heavily on me, crippling (削弱) my ability to do anything.

I’ve discovered China is a country ____57____deserts, mountains, forests and tundra are best explored on the backs of yaks, horses, elephants and ostriches. While too much of the world misunderstands too much of China, nobody in the world understands all of it — or even close to enough of it — ____58____(include) even Chinese people. I was particularly honored when many overseas friends said my latest book, A Global Nomad’s Journey Through China’s Poverty Alleviation — which goes beyond policy technicalities (技术性细节) to tell the ____59____(person) stories of how measures have transformed lives across remote corners of the country — ____60____(change) their views on China for the better. But I was ____61____(especial) delighted when many Chinese readers said that they had learned about their own country from reading this book, ____62____ (write) by a foreigner. That was a less-expected honor. While we initially released the book ____63____English and Chinese, I was delighted that an Italian publisher asked to translate and publish it and ____64____ a Nepalese publisher followed suit, bringing this story to more people in more languages. That’s because, as Nelson Mandela once said, “If you talk to a man in a language he understands, that goes to his head. If you talk to him in his own language, that goes to ____65____heart.” 第四部分 写作（共两节，满分40分） 第一节（满分15分） 66. 假定你是李华，近期学校要组织“英语文化节”活动，需招募10名学生志愿者，为文化节的才艺秀、英语演讲比赛以及英语辩论赛等提供服务。请你以短文形式写一则招聘广告。 1.招聘岗位信息； 2.应聘条件：支持学校的活动，能胜任工作；善于沟通，与同学相处融洽； 3.工作时间：上午8点至下午4点；工作内容：具体任务可协商； 4.联系人：李华（138xxxx8888）；招聘截止日期：本周三。 注意： 1.词数80个左右； 2.可适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。 ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第二节（满分25分） 67. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。 Lucas had always been the quiet one in the family. While his younger sister, Lily, was outgoing and effortlessly charmed everyone at gatherings, Lucas often found himself in the background, a silent observer. At 16, he felt invisible, especially when it came to expressing his own thoughts and feelings. His family meant well, but they often spoke for him, assuming they knew what he was thinking. This assumption became painfully clear during the planning for Grandpa’s 80th birthday party. The whole family gathered around the table, talking excitedly about party preparations, decorations, food and entertainment. “Lucas can help with the setup,” his aunt declared without looking at him. “And he can serve the cake,” his uncle added. Lucas opened his mouth to speak, to say he actually wanted to give a short speech, a tribute (致敬词) he had been secretly writing for weeks in his notebook. He wanted to tell everyone about the special fishing trips he and Grandpa had taken, the ones where he taught him to be patient, to listen, and to find strength in silence. But the words got stuck in his throat. His mother, noticing his hesitation, said gently, “Don’t worry, son. We’ll handle everything.” That night, Lucas sat in his room, staring at his notebook. The speech felt like a secret part of him, locked away. He had always let others define his role — the quiet one, the helper. But this time felt different. He realized that if he never spoke up, no one would ever know the person he truly was. A new determination began to form inside him. The day of the party arrived. The house was filled with laughter and the smell of home-cooked food. Grandpa, sitting in his favorite armchair, was surrounded by family. Lucas watched from the doorway, his heart pounding. He seized the folded piece of paper in his pocket. Everyone was having a good time. Would his small moment of bravery ruin it? He took a deep breath, remembering Grandpa’s words on their last fishing trip: “The bravest thing you can do, Lucas, is to be yourself.” 注意： 续写词数应为150个左右； 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Just before the cake announcement, Lucas stepped forward, his voice trembling but clear. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ When he finished, Grandpa slowly rose from his chair. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
