A Waiter A waiter abroad is a popular choice for young travellers because some restaurants don’t require much precious experience or qualifications，but they do not have access to high health insurance.Many people do service work for a while to earn enough money to travel abroad for the rest of the year.It’s OK for those without family to deal with customers at night，but they can’t get high wages. An English Teacher English is one of the world’s most spoken languages，so there is always a demand for people who can teach it.Being an English teacher abroad often requires a TEFL (Teaching English as a Foreign Language) certification.There are some popular destinations for prospective teachers.However，as teachers abroad，especially part-time teachers，their salaries are not high. An Oil Industry Worker Oil industry is one of the highest paying fields for both skilled and unskilled workers，with plenty of opportunities to travel whether they fulfill a position in exploration or production.You can be a researcher or an engineer on deep sea drilling rigs(钻探).The job is well paid，and you can help companies do less harm to the sea. 21.What should travel nurses do? A.Assign nursing tasks. B.Get a TEFL certification. C.Develop a good anti-pressure ability. D.Pay for their own accommodation. 细节理解题。根据第二段末句“You can enjoy accommodation payment and insurance benefits，but you have to work in the high-stress environment.”可知，旅行护士需要在高压环境下工作，因此应该培养良好的抗压能力。故选C。 解析 √ 22.What’s the common feature of working as a waiter and an English teacher in travelling? A.The low pay. B.The prospective career growth. C.Large health insurance benefits. D.Professional training opportunities. √ 细节理解题。根据第三段末句“It’s OK for those without family to deal with customers at night，but they can’t get high wages.”以及第四段末句“However，as teachers abroad，especially part-time teachers，their salaries are not high.”可知，旅行中当服务员和当英语老师的共同特点是工资低。故选A。 解析 23.Which job is best suited to a traveller wanting to contribute to the environment? A.A travel nurse. B.A waiter. C.An English teacher. D.An oil industry worker. 细节理解题。根据最后一段末句“The job is well paid，and you can help companies do less harm to the sea.”可知，石油工业工人这份职业最适合想要为环境做贡献的旅行者。故选D。 解析 √ B (2024·广东揭阳高二上期末) On November 7，Lewis Pugh completed a one-kilometer swim in the freezing waters of King Edward Cove，off South Georgia in Antarctica.He was wearing only his swimming glasses，cap and Speedo! 语篇解读　本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了刘易斯·普格为了呼吁各国领导人采取行动保护海洋，在南极冰冷的水域完成不穿防寒泳衣游泳一公里的壮举。 Pugh is an advocate for our oceans and seas，working to protect these ecosystems with their large diversity of marine life.When asked why he doesn’t wear a wetsuit(防寒泳衣)，Pugh says，“I ask world leaders to do everything they can to protect our oceans.Sometimes the steps they need to take are difficult and unpopular.If I’m asking them to be courageous，I must also be.Swimming in a wetsuit would not send the right message.” It took Pugh about 19 minutes to complete the one-kilometer swim in Antarctica where the water averaged about 1.6 degrees Celsius.He says that his body can only tolerate about 20 minutes in the freezing waters before it starts shutting down.As he swims，his body temperature steadily drops，which in turn causes his muscle control to drop，slowing him down.When he is done with his swim，his support team rushes him to a hot shower and it takes almost an hour for his body temperature to return to normal. Doctors and Pugh caution that one must receive months of training to swim in such cold waters.Even expert swimmers who are unused to freezing water can drown within minutes because of the physical shock experienced by the body.Pugh says he trained for six months before this swim. This is not the first time that Pugh has swum in dangerous conditions.In 2007，he swam one kilometer in the North Pole to draw attention to the melting Arctic ice due to climate change.In 2015，he swam in the Bay of Whales in Antarctica’s Ross Sea as part of his successful campaign to help set up a marine reserve there. 24.Why did Lewis Pugh swim without a wetsuit? A.To show his bravery. B.To swim faster. C.To build up his body. D.To have overnight fame. √ 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“When asked why he doesn’t wear a wetsuit(防寒泳衣)，Pugh says，‘I ask world leaders to do everything they can to protect our oceans.Sometimes the steps they need to take are difficult and unpopular.If I’m asking them to be courageous，I must also be.Swimming in a wetsuit would not send the right message.’”可知，普格不穿防寒泳衣在冰冷的海水中游泳是为了展示他的勇敢，故选A。 解析 25.What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 3 refer to? A.His body temperature. B.His body. C.The water. D.The water temperature. √ 代词指代题。根据画线词前的“He says that his body can only tolerate about 20 minutes in the freezing waters”可知，他说他的身体在冰冷的海水中只能忍受大约20分钟，此处承接上文，是说20分钟后他的身体就会开始动弹不得，由此可知画线词指代的就是“他的身体”，故选B。 解析 26.What’s Pugh’s advice about swimming in freezing waters? A.One should be expert at swimming. B.One must be used to long-distance swimming. C.One should be ready to take on challenges. D.One must be adequately prepared for it. 细节理解题。根据第四段首句“Doctors and Pugh caution that one must receive months of training to swim in such cold waters.”可知，普格建议人们在冰冷的海水中游泳之前要做好充分的准备，故选D。 解析 √ 27.What may be the best title for the text? A.Lewis Pugh：Achieving the Impossible B.How to Survive a Swim in Cold Waters C.Lewis Pugh：Swimming for a Cause D.How to Prepare for Extreme Swimming 标题归纳题。通读全文，特别是根据第一、二段可知，本文主要讲述了刘易斯·普格为了呼吁各国领导人采取行动保护海洋，在南极冰冷的水域完成不穿防寒泳衣游泳一公里的壮举。因此，本文最好的题目是C项“刘易斯·普格：为了一项事业而游泳”，故选C。 解析 √ C A community canteen at the Zhanongkou Community in Shangcheng，Hangzhou recently launched “happiness blind boxes”，which cost just 6 yuan per box.Sales start at 7 p.m.each evening. 语篇解读　这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了社区食堂的特色、前景和成功的关键等。 The dishes are packaged in transparent(透明的) containers，but to maintain an element of surprise，stickers are placed over the lid(盖子) of the “main dish” section of each box.The “blind boxes” have become popular since being introduced，and on some nights they sell out by about 8 p.m. A meal assistance program introduced in Zhanongkou subdistrict ensures the elderly can access meals within a 10-minute walk of their homes or have them delivered within five minutes.The service has also been welcomed by younger people living and working in the area. Yan Xuyang，a professor at Beijing Union University’s Tourism College，predicts that by 2035，those born from the 1970s to the 2000s will comprise the main group of customers for such canteens.“This generation has a reasonable level of disposable(可自由支配的) income，and many of its members may also lack the willingness to prepare meals for themselves，” Yan said. The successful operation of community canteens depends on their ability to integrate into the daily lives and culture of local residents.In addition to serving dishes to suit local tastes and fostering a welcoming environment for diners，it is important to widen the functions of these canteens.They have been used for cultural activities and other events，which helps raise awareness and foster a positive perspective on these canteens among local communities. In the latter part of 2022，the Weikang community canteen in Ziyang subdistrict，Hangzhou，experienced a significant transformation from being a canteen for seniors to catering for the whole community.Its services have been broadened beyond regular operations to include services for hospitals and businesses，complete with home delivery options.Some other community canteens have also made efforts to appeal to more residents. 28.What can we know about the “happiness blind boxes” from the passage? A.They are sold out every night before 8 p.m. B.They are beautifully decorated with stickers. C.They offer a sense of mystery with the unknown main dishes. D.They are only offered to the residents in the Zhanongkou Community. 细节理解题。根据第二段首句“The dishes are packaged in transparent(透明的) containers，but to maintain an element of surprise，stickers are placed over the lid(盖子) of the ‘main dish’ section of each box.”可知，“幸福盲盒”用未知的主菜营造出一种神秘感。故选C。 解析 √ 29.What’s Yan Xuyang’s attitude towards the future of community canteens? A.Promising. B.Cautious. C.Unclear. D.Objective. √ 观点态度题。根据第四段的内容可知，严旭阳认为社区食堂未来吸引到的顾客群体收入可观且缺乏自己做饭的意向，故它的未来是有希望的、有前途的。故选A。 解析 30.What might contribute most to the success of community canteens? A.Reasonable prices. B.Various functions. C.Fast delivery service. D.Unexpected surprises. 推理判断题。根据第五段尤其第二句可知，各种各样的功能最有助于社区食堂的成功。故选B。 解析 √ 31.Why is the Weikang community canteen mentioned in the last paragraph? A.To highlight the popularity of community canteens. B.To emphasize the importance of community canteens. C.To discuss the wide functions of community canteens. D.To show the innovative reform of community canteens. √ 推理判断题。根据最后一段前两句可知，位于杭州紫阳街道的唯康社区食堂在2022年下半年经历了一个重大转变，由老年食堂转为服务整个社区，并拓展了服务项目，因此最后一段提到杭州紫阳街道唯康社区食堂是为了展示社区食堂的创新改革。故选D。 解析 D Given that stress can adversely affect human health and well-being，including causing high blood pressure and increasing the risk of heart disease，it is essential to understand our individual responses to stress and identify potential factors that can act as effective stress buffers(缓冲). 语篇解读　本文是一篇说明文。一项研究表明，感恩状态和情感平衡对急性心理压力的反应和恢复有独特的压力缓冲作用。 In the paper，which was recently published in the Journal of Psychophysiology，Brian Leavy，Brenda H.O’Connell，and Deirdre O’Shea propose that although the previous research suggests that gratitude and affective balance play key stress-buffering roles，to date，little has been known about the impact of these variables on cardiovascular(心血管的) recovery from acute(急性的) psychological stress. That was the focus of the study by the researchers from the Universities of Maynooth and Limerick in Ireland，who also sought to find out whether affective balance could regulate the relationship between gratitude and cardiovascular reactions to acute psychological stress. The research carried out at the Irish University of Maynooth involved 68 undergraduate students (24 male and 44 female)，aged between 18 and 27.This study used a within-subjects experimental design with lab tasks in which stress was put on participants and then cardiovascular reactivity and recovery in response to this was measured. The results showed that the state of gratitude predicted lower blood pressure responses throughout the stress-testing period，which means that the state of gratitude has a unique stress-buffering effect on both reactions to and recovery from acute psychological stress.It was also found that affective balance increases the effects of gratitude. These findings have practical value as there are several low-cost gratitude methods which can contribute to well-being，including keeping a gratitude journal and practising acts of kindness.Previous research has shown how patients who make use of gratitude journals have better cardiovascular outcomes than those who do not.Another tool to help individuals express gratitude is a gratitude card，which is one of the suggestions from Mental Health America (MHA). 32.What does the underlined word “adversely” in paragraph 1 mean? A.Unfavorably. B.Creatively. C.Barely. D.Fortunately. √ 词义猜测题。根据画线词后“affect human health and well-being，including causing high blood pressure and increasing the risk of heart disease”可推断，画线词adversely的意思是“不利地”，即压力会给人带来不利的影响。故选A。 解析 33.What is paragraph 2 mainly about? A.A new concept. B.The process of an experiment. C.The problems of an expert’s research. D.The focus of a study. 段落大意题。根据第二段内容以及第三段中的“That was the focus of the study by the researchers”可知，第二段主要讲的是一项研究的重点——这些变量对急性心理压力下心血管恢复的影响。故选D。 解析 √ 34.Which is a finding of the research? A.The effects of gratitude are often age-related. B.Gratitude contributes to lower blood pressure. C.Affective balance reduces the effects of gratitude. D.Acute psychological stress is difficult to relieve. √ 细节理解题。根据第五段首句“The results showed that the state of gratitude predicted lower blood pressure responses throughout the stress-testing period，which means that the state of gratitude has a unique stress-buffering effect on both reactions to and recovery from acute psychological stress.”可知，研究发现感恩有助于降低血压。故选B。 解析 35.What can we learn from the text? A.The results of the study are not reliable. B.The methods of gratitude come at a high cost. C.MHA’s advice is confirmed effective by the research. D.The researchers have proposed new ways to express gratitude. 推理判断题。根据第五段首句及最后一段末句可推断，研究证实美国心理健康协会提出的表达感恩的建议对于降低血压是有效的。故选C。 解析 √ 第二节　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。 Today’s Wonder of the Day comes in all shapes and sizes.It can look like a beautiful landscape，a familiar skyline，or even outer space! It comes in boxes labeled with numbers—300, 500, 1,000，or even 2,500.What are we talking about? Jigsaw puzzles(拼图游戏)，of course! 语篇解读　这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了拼图的制作程序以及好处。 A.Working on a puzzle can also reduce stress. B.Decades ago，people made puzzles by hand. C.Finally，they’re boxed up and made ready for sale. D.Not every piece of beautiful artwork can make the cut. E.Puzzles offer an affordable way for people to have fun. F.No matter what you prefer，there’s a puzzle out there for you. G.You can think of this as a cookie cutter that cuts the puzzle into pieces. Puzzles have been around since at least 1760.Today，though，the process of making jigsaw puzzles has changed quite a bit. 36 They used jigsaws to cut each piece out of wood or cardboard.Some specialty puzzle makers still do so today，but it’s far less common.Instead，most puzzles are mass-produced. √ 根据下文“They used jigsaws to cut each piece out of wood or cardboard.Some specialty puzzle makers still do so today，but it’s far less common.Instead，most puzzles are mass-produced.”可知，这种制作方法如今不那么常见了，本句是在说明以前制作拼图的方法，B选项“几十年前，人们手工制作拼图”符合语境，故选B。 解析 A.Working on a puzzle can also reduce stress. B.Decades ago，people made puzzles by hand. C.Finally，they’re boxed up and made ready for sale. D.Not every piece of beautiful artwork can make the cut. E.Puzzles offer an affordable way for people to have fun. F.No matter what you prefer，there’s a puzzle out there for you. G.You can think of this as a cookie cutter that cuts the puzzle into pieces. How exactly are modern puzzles made? It starts with choosing the right picture. 37 The most popular puzzles are often full of details.After all，this makes them quite a bit more manageable—imagine working on a puzzle that is just one color or pattern! √ 下文“The most popular puzzles are often full of details.After all，this makes them quite a bit more manageable”提到受欢迎的拼图的特点，由此可知，本句与拼图的图案有关。D选项“不是每一件漂亮的艺术品都能成为切割的对象”符合语境，故选D。 解析 A.Working on a puzzle can also reduce stress. B.Decades ago，people made puzzles by hand. C.Finally，they’re boxed up and made ready for sale. D.Not every piece of beautiful artwork can make the cut. E.Puzzles offer an affordable way for people to have fun. F.No matter what you prefer，there’s a puzzle out there for you. G.You can think of this as a cookie cutter that cuts the puzzle into pieces. Once the image is chosen，it’s printed on special paper and pasted to cardboard.Then，they’re left to dry before going through the die cutter(模切机). 38 The design of the die cutter is unique to each puzzle and is often drawn by hand. √ 空前一句和空后一句都提到模切机，这里的cutter可对应到G选项中的cutter。G选项“你可以把它想象成把拼图切成小块的饼干切割机”符合语境，故选G。 解析 Later，they go through a machine that separates them. 39 A.Working on a puzzle can also reduce stress. B.Decades ago，people made puzzles by hand. C.Finally，they’re boxed up and made ready for sale. D.Not every piece of beautiful artwork can make the cut. E.Puzzles offer an affordable way for people to have fun. F.No matter what you prefer，there’s a puzzle out there for you. G.You can think of this as a cookie cutter that cuts the puzzle into pieces. √ 根据上文的then和later可知，本句应是制作拼图的最后一步，C选项“最后，它们被装箱准备出售”符合语境，故选C。 解析 Of course，puzzles aren’t just for fun! They’re good for your brain.Experts say putting together a puzzle has the same effect as trying to solve a mystery.It can stimulate different brain areas. 40 It feels great to place that last piece in the right spot.Maybe that’s why puzzles seem to be a timeless source of entertainment.

The advantages of AI in education are evident.It can tailor personalized learning plans based on students’ individual differences.Moreover，AI plays a crucial role in our lives.Smart home devices，for instance，can provide a comfortable living environment for us.However，there is no denying that AI is a good servant，but it can also be a bad master.Excessive reliance on AI may deprive us of our ability to think independently and solve problems.Plus，privacy disclosure is also an increasing concern.
