Or hangers. Or that her dorm room wouldn’t come with a fan. Having grown up in the foster (寄养) system, she found life as a college student mostly mysterious. That’s where Dec My Dorm stepped in. The program works with more than 140 foster youth headed to college, hosting an annual event in July to kit out each student with sheet sets, pillows and connections to other people in the same situation. Green took part in the summer of 2024, leaving with several bags filled with the things she needed, including many items she didn’t know she would need, like dish soap. The program started in 2018 when Jill Franklin, manager of the Independent Living Program in Los Angeles County, met a student who came from the foster system. This young student described arriving at the University of California at Berkeley with just a trash bag, not knowing that dorm rooms are spartan: a desk, a chair, a bed with an oddly sized mattress — and that’s it. Franklin started with a small Amazon wishlist and a handful of students. It was particularly important that the kids were involved in the process as much as possible, she said, because they were used to living in spaces that were not their own. If they could pick their own bedding and their own blankets, they would create a room that said, “This is who I am.” In 2022, she met Phyllis Shinbane from Connecting a Caring Community. Shinbane had been unaware that foster youth often have nothing they can bring with them to college, but realized this was a need she could help fill. Together, they raised more than $40,000 in donations in 2025. “It’s just leveling the playing field,” said Shinbane. “It’s just putting them in a room where they’re not different, and where their past doesn’t define them.” 4. What does Dec My Dorm provide for foster youth? A. Campus tours. B. Yearly scholarships. C. Room supplies. D. Academic guidance. 5. What does the underlined word “spartan” in Paragraph 4 mean? A. Plain and basic. B. Modern and stylish. C. Small and crowded. D. Warm and personal. 6. Why were foster students encouraged to choose their own items? A. To improve their life skills. B. To keep dorm rooms in order. C. To make better use of donations. D. To give them a sense of identity. 7. What does Shinbane emphasize about the program? A. It gives students a fair start. B. It makes dorm life more fun. C. It helps build lasting friendships. D. It enables students to erase the past. C Elephants and gorillas in the Republic of the Congo’s rainforests spend a lot of time hiding in the shadows — or so we thought. Using drone (无人机) surveys and AI processing, scientists have discovered an extensive network of mysterious open clearings among the trees. Animals like elephants, gorillas visit these muddy areas, called bais, in the languages of the Indigenous Ba’Aka, to search for vital nutrition and maintain their complex social networks. The numerous playgrounds are visible in satellite images, and AI analysis is helping researchers find them more effectively. The discovery began in 2021 when Sylvain Ngouma and Evan Hockridge came upon a massive clearing during fieldwork in Odzala-Kokoua National Park and found a trail (踪迹) of wet, pot-sized footprints leading through the woods to the open roundabout. Hockridge, who had thought bais were abnormal, says, “I had it backward. It kind of hit me when I was there. You can’t understand animal interactions without first understanding bais.” For the next three summers, the team investigated the clearings. They analyzed camera-trap images, confirming what local people had told them — that these natural clearings are crucial gathering grounds for some of the world’s most endangered mammals. The bais, they realized, are big melting pots, big playgrounds, for a collection of forest animals. During the initial surveys, the team followed elephant trails to move through the rainforest from bai to bai. This process led Hockridge to wonder about a network. Although previous studies documented animal behavior in selected bais, no one had counted them or had the means to map their distribution. The team partnered with African Parks, using drones to scan known sites. They trained an AI algorithm (算法) to identify bais in satellite imagery, revealing 2,176 clearings in one park — 10 times more than previously recorded. Bais are always near rivers or streams. Most are smaller than a city block, but few, at more than 100 acres, are bigger than some college campuses. “Bais are ultimately islands of resources, and animals produce these networks of trails to essentially navigate to and from a network of bais,” Hockridge says. The researchers’ map of bais, the first of its kind, is also a map of conservation priorities. “We find that a huge portion of the animal community depends on this unique ecosystem. These species don’t have alternative habitats other than bais,” Hockridge says. The study is also a step toward solving the ultimate mystery: How did bais form? Many ecologists have argued that a combination of hydrology (水文学) and animal landscaping is at play. But definitive proof remains elusive. Now, with a map in hand and camera traps still in place, the research team is tracking long-term changes, which have implications for the maintenance of these crucial animal habitats. “We have hypotheses (假说),” Andrew Davies, an ecologist in Harvard, says, “but the short answer is: we don’t know.” 8. For rainforest animals, bais are places for ________. A. fun and safety B. water and shelter C. food and connection D. shade and entertainment 9. What can we learn about Ngouma and Hockridge’s research? A. It discovered how bais formed. B. It was the first to map the network of bais. C. It analyzed images of bais provided by local people. D. It concluded bais were spots intended for endangered species. 10. What does the underlined word “elusive” in Paragraph 6 probably mean? A. Difficult to find. B. Simple to clarify. C. Possible to overestimate. D. Unlikely to question. 11. Which would be the best title for this passage? A. Conservation Priorities in Rainforests B. Hidden Playgrounds Revealed in Rainforests C. Secrets of Rainforest Animals’ Social Networks D. Modern Tools Adopted for Rainforest Exploration D When you were little, did you fight with your brother or sister about who would get the last gummy bear? Or who got to sit in the front of the ride? Behind these cases lies a hidden mindset — zero-sum thinking, a term that comes from math. In a zero-sum game, the total of gains and losses among the players always adds up to zero. Oskar Morgenstern first formally described this concept (概念) in the 1944 book Theory of Games and Economic Behavior. Since then it has been widely used in economic theories and game theory. Drawing on ideas of evolutionary psychology (进化心理学), some have argued that zero-sum thinking arose as a cognitive (认知的) adaptation within early-human ancestors (祖先) who were forced to compete over limited resources. As such, the likeliness to subjectively view resource distribution as zero-sum might have been the main strategy in our evolutionary past, giving individuals with higher zero-sum beliefs a relative advantage over others. Thus, in modern environments, zero-sum beliefs are adopted under similar conditions of threat and resource shortage and can be changed only with thoughtful reflection. Zero-sum beliefs have important intrapersonal and interpersonal consequences (后果). At the intrapersonal level, greater acceptance of zero-sum beliefs is connected with more negative (and less positive) effects, more selfishness and lower life satisfaction. Zero-sum beliefs can also be interpersonally harmful, such as when negotiators who believe that the other side gains at their expense miss chances for win-win deals. More broadly, people who adopt zero-sum beliefs often feel lonelier. Thus, zero-sum beliefs are connected with both the quality and the quantity of close personal relationships. To fight these effects, we can remember to remain mindful that there are numerous opportunities for non-zero-sum interactions with others, such as finding opportunities to exchange surpluses or favors with others. Doing so provides the necessary conditions for trust and mutual benefit to form, which are both necessary for any business or economy to function well, in good times and in bad. 12. Which is the core of zero-sum mindset? A. Every coin has two sides. B. The other’s gain is your loss. C. Many hands make light work. D. United we stand, divided we fall. 13. What does Paragraph 2 try to stress concerning zero-sum thinking? A. It is unique to humans. B. It tends to be short-lived. C. It helped ancestors survive. D. It is hardwired into humans. 14. Why are negotiators mentioned in paragraph 3? A. To explain how zero-sum beliefs work. B. To guide people to achieve win-win deals. C. To show the negative effects of zero-sum beliefs. D. To encourage people to put zero-sum beliefs to use. 15. Which of the following does the author probably agree with? A. Trust is a two-way street. B. A true win-win is achievable. C. Opportunity knocks but once. D. Economy undergoes thick and thin. 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。 One cold, dark and rainy Monday morning last fall, Janet Dole reluctantly (不情愿地) dragged herself out of bed, got dressed, kissed her family goodbye, and began the long commute (通勤) to her office. ____16____ At that moment, Janet decided to change her lifestyle.

Doreen looked out and saw her elderly neighbor Mr. Bower across the street sitting quietly in his garage. She had known him well for years, and everyone in the community loved this gentle old man. However, his garage had long been filled with piles of old furniture, discarded tools, worn-out boxes and various small items he could not bear to throw away. Little space was left for him to move around comfortably. Doreen felt concerned for him. She knew Mr. Bower lived alone most of the time. He kept those old things not only out of habit but also because he cherished memories behind them. Yet the messy garage brought him inconvenience and even safety risks. This time, Doreen made up her mind to help him tidy up the garage in a gentle way. She walked across the street and knocked softly on the garage door. “Good afternoon, Mr. Bower,” she greeted him with a warm smile. “There are so many items in your garage and most of them are no longer useful to you. Why not hold a yard sale? Many neighbors love practical second-hand goods.” At first, the old man hesitated. He was deeply attached to his old things and worried that few people would come to buy them. But Doreen managed to persuade him and promised she would help sort items, make price tags, and post online ads. Finally, Mr. Bower nodded and agreed to hold a yard sale the next day. Fifteen minutes later, Doreen hit the last few necessary keys on her keyboard with satisfaction. She created a detailed online ad for Mr. Bower’s yard sale at 9 a.m. the next day, introducing his old but well-preserved items. She also shared the news in the neighborhood group. Some neighbors showed great interest while others offered to lend a hand. 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。 Saturday morning arrived and the yard was alive with people. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ By mid-afternoon, Mr. Bower was amazed to find his garage tidy. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 太原师范学院附属中学2025级高二年级开学监测 英语试卷 注意事项： 1．本试卷共10页，满分150分，考试时间120分钟。 2．答题前，考生务必用0.5毫米黑色墨迹签字笔在答题卡上填写好自己的考号、姓名、校班等信息。将条形码横贴在答题卡“考生条形码粘贴区”。 3．考生作答时，请将答案正确地填写在答题卡上，答在本试卷上无效。 4．考试结束后，将答题卡交回。 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段录音。每段录音后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段录音后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段录音播放两遍。 1.

She didn’t expect to need a toolbox. Or hangers. Or that her dorm room wouldn’t come with a fan. Having grown up in the foster (寄养) system, she found life as a college student mostly mysterious. That’s where Dec My Dorm stepped in. The program works with more than 140 foster youth headed to college, hosting an annual event in July to kit out each student with sheet sets, pillows and connections to other people in the same situation. Green took part in the summer of 2024, leaving with several bags filled with the things she needed, including many items she didn’t know she would need, like dish soap. The program started in 2018 when Jill Franklin, manager of the Independent Living Program in Los Angeles County, met a student who came from the foster system. This young student described arriving at the University of California at Berkeley with just a trash bag, not knowing that dorm rooms are spartan: a desk, a chair, a bed with an oddly sized mattress — and that’s it. Franklin started with a small Amazon wishlist and a handful of students. It was particularly important that the kids were involved in the process as much as possible, she said, because they were used to living in spaces that were not their own. If they could pick their own bedding and their own blankets, they would create a room that said, “This is who I am.” In 2022, she met Phyllis Shinbane from Connecting a Caring Community. Shinbane had been unaware that foster youth often have nothing they can bring with them to college, but realized this was a need she could help fill. Together, they raised more than $40,000 in donations in 2025. “It’s just leveling the playing field,” said Shinbane. “It’s just putting them in a room where they’re not different, and where their past doesn’t define them.” 4. What does Dec My Dorm provide for foster youth? A. Campus tours. B. Yearly scholarships. C. Room supplies. D. Academic guidance. 5. What does the underlined word “spartan” in Paragraph 4 mean? A. Plain and basic. B. Modern and stylish. C. Small and crowded. D. Warm and personal. 6. Why were foster students encouraged to choose their own items? A. To improve their life skills. B. To keep dorm rooms in order. C. To make better use of donations. D. To give them a sense of identity. 7. What does Shinbane emphasize about the program? A. It gives students a fair start. B. It makes dorm life more fun. C. It helps build lasting friendships. D. It enables students to erase the past. 【答案】4. C 5. A 6. D 7. A 【解析】 【导语】文章主要讲述了Dec My Dorm项目为寄养青年提供宿舍用品助其公平上大学。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“hosting an annual event in July to kit out each student with sheets sets, pillows and connections to other people in the same situation.(在七月举办年度活动，为每位学生配备床单套装、枕头，并帮助他们与处境相同的人建立联系。)”以及第三段中“leaving with several bags filled with the things she needed, including many items she didn't know she would need, like dish soap.(离开时带着几袋她需要的东西，包括很多她不知道自己会需要的物品，比如洗洁精。)”可知，该项目提供的是宿舍用品。 【5题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段中“not knowing that dorm rooms are spartan: a desk, a chair, a bed with an oddly sized mattress — and that's it.(不知道宿舍房间是spartan的：一张桌子、一把椅子、一张配着尺寸奇怪的床垫的床——仅此而已。)”可知，宿舍只有最基本的家具，没有任何多余的东西，因此spartan意为“简朴的，基本的”。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段中“If they could pick their own bedding and their own blankets, they would create a room that said, 'This is who I am.(如果他们能挑选自己的床上用品和毯子，他们就能打造一个房间，传达出“这就是我”的信息。)”可知，让学生自己选择是为了给他们一种身份认同感。 【7题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中““It’s just leveling the playing field,” said Shinbane. “It’s just putting them in a room where they’re not different, and where their past doesn’t define them.”(“这只是在让竞争环境变得公平，”Shinbane说。“这只是让他们身处一个自己并不与众不同的房间，在这里他们的过去不会定义他们。”)”可知，Shinbane强调的是该项目给了学生一个公平的起点。 C Elephants and gorillas in the Republic of the Congo’s rainforests spend a lot of time hiding in the shadows — or so we thought. Using drone (无人机) surveys and AI processing, scientists have discovered an extensive network of mysterious open clearings among the trees. Animals like elephants, gorillas visit these muddy areas, called bais, in the languages of the Indigenous Ba’Aka, to search for vital nutrition and maintain their complex social networks. The numerous playgrounds are visible in satellite images, and AI analysis is helping researchers find them more effectively. The discovery began in 2021 when Sylvain Ngouma and Evan Hockridge came upon a massive clearing during fieldwork in Odzala-Kokoua National Park and found a trail (踪迹) of wet, pot-sized footprints leading through the woods to the open roundabout. Hockridge, who had thought bais were abnormal, says, “I had it backward. It kind of hit me when I was there. You can’t understand animal interactions without first understanding bais.” For the next three summers, the team investigated the clearings. They analyzed camera-trap images, confirming what local people had told them — that these natural clearings are crucial gathering grounds for some of the world’s most endangered mammals. The bais, they realized, are big melting pots, big playgrounds, for a collection of forest animals. During the initial surveys, the team followed elephant trails to move through the rainforest from bai to bai. This process led Hockridge to wonder about a network. Although previous studies documented animal behavior in selected bais, no one had counted them or had the means to map their distribution. The team partnered with African Parks, using drones to scan known sites. They trained an AI algorithm (算法) to identify bais in satellite imagery, revealing 2,176 clearings in one park — 10 times more than previously recorded. Bais are always near rivers or streams. Most are smaller than a city block, but few, at more than 100 acres, are bigger than some college campuses. “Bais are ultimately islands of resources, and animals produce these networks of trails to essentially navigate to and from a network of bais,” Hockridge says. The researchers’ map of bais, the first of its kind, is also a map of conservation priorities. “We find that a huge portion of the animal community depends on this unique ecosystem. These species don’t have alternative habitats other than bais,” Hockridge says. The study is also a step toward solving the ultimate mystery: How did bais form? Many ecologists have argued that a combination of hydrology (水文学) and animal landscaping is at play. But definitive proof remains elusive. Now, with a map in hand and camera traps still in place, the research team is tracking long-term changes, which have implications for the maintenance of these crucial animal habitats. “We have hypotheses (假说),” Andrew Davies, an ecologist in Harvard, says, “but the short answer is: we don’t know.” 8. For rainforest animals, bais are places for ________. A. fun and safety B. water and shelter C. food and connection D. shade and entertainment 9. What can we learn about Ngouma and Hockridge’s research? A. It discovered how bais formed. B. It was the first to map the network of bais. C. It analyzed images of bais provided by local people. D. It concluded bais were spots intended for endangered species. 10. What does the underlined word “elusive” in Paragraph 6 probably mean? A. Difficult to find. B. Simple to clarify. C. Possible to overestimate. D. Unlikely to question. 11. Which would be the best title for this passage? A. Conservation Priorities in Rainforests B. Hidden Playgrounds Revealed in Rainforests C. Secrets of Rainforest Animals’ Social Networks D. Modern Tools Adopted for Rainforest Exploration 【答案】8. C 9. B 10. A 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍科学家借助无人机调查和人工智能处理，在刚果共和国雨林中发现众多神秘开阔空地“bais”，这些空地对大象、大猩猩等动物意义重大，研究团队还绘制出首张“bais”网络地图，但“bais”的形成原因仍有待探索。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Animals like elephants, gorillas visit these muddy areas, called bais... to search for vital nutrition and maintain their complex social networks.(像大象、大猩猩这样的动物会来到这些被称为bais的泥泞区域……寻找重要的营养物质，并维持它们复杂的社会网络)”可知，对于雨林动物来说，bais是获取食物（营养物质）和建立联系（维持社会网络）的地方。故选C项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段中的“The researchers’ map of bais, the first of its kind, is also a map of conservation priorities.(研究人员绘制的bais地图，是此类地图中的首张，也是一张保护优先级地图)”可知，Ngouma和Hockridge的研究首次绘制出了bais网络地图。故选B项。 【10题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第六段中的“The study is also a step toward solving the ultimate mystery: How did bais form? Many ecologists have argued that a combination of hydrology(水文学) and animal landscaping is at play. But definitive proof remains elusive.(这项研究也是朝着解开最终谜团迈出的一步：bais是如何形成的？许多生态学家认为水文学和动物景观的结合在起作用。但确凿的证据仍然elusive)”以及最后一段““We have hypotheses(假说),” Andrew Davies, an ecologist in Harvard, says, “but the short answer is: we don’t know.”(哈佛大学的生态学家安德鲁·戴维斯说：“我们有一些假设，但简短的答案是：我们不知道”)”可知，虽然有一些观点，但仍不确定bais的形成原因，所以确凿证据难以找到，“elusive”意思是“Difficult to find（难以找到）”故选A项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。主要介绍科学家借助无人机调查和人工智能处理，在刚果共和国雨林中发现众多神秘开阔空地“bais”，这些空地对大象、大猩猩等动物意义重大，研究团队还绘制出首张“bais”网络地图，但“bais”的形成原因仍有待探索。B选项“雨林中揭示的隐藏游乐场”，准确概括文章内容，为最佳标题。故选B项。 D When you were little, did you fight with your brother or sister about who would get the last gummy bear? Or who got to sit in the front of the ride? Behind these cases lies a hidden mindset — zero-sum thinking, a term that comes from math. In a zero-sum game, the total of gains and losses among the players always adds up to zero. Oskar Morgenstern first formally described this concept (概念) in the 1944 book Theory of Games and Economic Behavior. Since then it has been widely used in economic theories and game theory. Drawing on ideas of evolutionary psychology (进化心理学), some have argued that zero-sum thinking arose as a cognitive (认知的) adaptation within early-human ancestors (祖先) who were forced to compete over limited resources. As such, the likeliness to subjectively view resource distribution as zero-sum might have been the main strategy in our evolutionary past, giving individuals with higher zero-sum beliefs a relative advantage over others. Thus, in modern environments, zero-sum beliefs are adopted under similar conditions of threat and resource shortage and can be changed only with thoughtful reflection. Zero-sum beliefs have important intrapersonal and interpersonal consequences (后果). At the intrapersonal level, greater acceptance of zero-sum beliefs is connected with more negative (and less positive) effects, more selfishness and lower life satisfaction. Zero-sum beliefs can also be interpersonally harmful, such as when negotiators who believe that the other side gains at their expense miss chances for win-win deals. More broadly, people who adopt zero-sum beliefs often feel lonelier. Thus, zero-sum beliefs are connected with both the quality and the quantity of close personal relationships. To fight these effects, we can remember to remain mindful that there are numerous opportunities for non-zero-sum interactions with others, such as finding opportunities to exchange surpluses or favors with others. Doing so provides the necessary conditions for trust and mutual benefit to form, which are both necessary for any business or economy to function well, in good times and in bad. 12. Which is the core of zero-sum mindset? A. Every coin has two sides. B. The other’s gain is your loss. C. Many hands make light work. D. United we stand, divided we fall. 13. What does Paragraph 2 try to stress concerning zero-sum thinking? A. It is unique to humans. B. It tends to be short-lived. C. It helped ancestors survive. D. It is hardwired into humans. 14. Why are negotiators mentioned in paragraph 3? A. To explain how zero-sum beliefs work. B. To guide people to achieve win-win deals. C. To show the negative effects of zero-sum beliefs. D. To encourage people to put zero-sum beliefs to use. 15. Which of the following does the author probably agree with? A. Trust is a two-way street. B. A true win-win is achievable. C. Opportunity knocks but once. D. Economy undergoes thick and thin. 【答案】12. B 13. D 14. C 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍零和思维的概念、起源，阐述它带来的各类负面影响以及应对该思维的可行办法。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“In a zero-sum game, the total of gains and losses among the players always adds up to zero.(在零和博弈中，参与者之间的得失总和始终为零。)” 可知，零和思维的核心就是一方所得即为另一方所失。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Drawing on ideas of evolutionary psychology (进化心理学), some have argued that zero-sum thinking arose as a cognitive (认知的) adaptation within early-human ancestors (祖先) who were forced to compete over limited resources. (借鉴进化心理学的观点，一些人认为，零和思维产生于早期人类祖先身上，是一种认知适应，这些祖先被迫为有限的资源展开竞争。)”可知，零和思维是人类进化过程中形成的认知，已经根植于人类身上。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Zero-sum beliefs can also be interpersonally harmful, such as when negotiators who believe that the other side gains at their expense miss chances for win-win deals. (零和信念在人际交往方面也会产生危害，例如，谈判者认为对方的获益是以自己的损失为代价，从而错失达成双赢协议的机会。)”可知，此处列举谈判者的例子，是为了说明零和信念会带来的负面影响。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“To fight these effects, we can remember to remain mindful that there are numerous opportunities for non-zero-sum interactions with others, such as finding opportunities to exchange surpluses or favors with others.(为了抵制这些负面影响，我们应当牢记，我们和他人之间存在许许多多非零和互动的机会，例如寻找机会与他人交换富余资源或是互相施以恩惠。)”可知，作者认为非零和互动真实存在，真正的双赢是可以实现的。 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。 One cold, dark and rainy Monday morning last fall, Janet Dole reluctantly (不情愿地) dragged herself out of bed, got dressed, kissed her family goodbye, and began the long commute (通勤) to her office. ____16____ At that moment, Janet decided to change her lifestyle.

A 【解析】 【导语】本文通过珍妮特的事例介绍居家办公的流行趋势，同时指出居家办公对个人素质有一定要求。 【16题详解】 根据空前的“One cold, dark and rainy Monday morning last fall, Janet Dole reluctantly (不情愿地) dragged herself out of bed, got dressed, kissed her family goodbye, and began the long commute (通勤) to her office.(去年秋天一个阴冷多雨的周一早晨，珍妮特·多尔不情愿地挣扎起床，穿好衣服，和家人吻别，开启去往办公室漫长的通勤路程。)”以及空后的“At that moment, Janet decided to change her lifestyle. She decided to become self-employed and to run her own business from home.(就在那一刻，珍妮特决定改变自己的生活方式。她决定自主创业，在家经营自己的生意。)”可知，空前描写珍妮特不情愿去上班，空后写她下定决心改变生活方式，此空需要交代促使她做出改变的具体经历。F选项“She soon found herself sitting in traffic, thinking about how much she hated this daily routine. (她很快就遇上堵车，心里想着自己多么厌恶这种日常惯例。)”承接上文通勤的情节，引出下文做出改变的决定，符合语境。 【17题详解】 根据空后的““Whether they are just freelancing (从事自由职业) or managing a full-time business, many people these days choose to work from home,” says Kirk Richards, owner of Home Office, a business consulting company. (“不管他们只是做自由职业还是经营全职业务，如今很多人选择居家办公，”商业咨询公司家庭办公室的所有者柯克·理查兹说道。)”可知，上文讲述珍妮特个人的转变，下文拓展到社会上很多人居家办公的普遍现象，此空起到由个人事例过渡到社会趋势的作用。C选项“Janet’s lifestyle change reflects a popular trend. (珍妮特的生活方式转变反映了一种流行趋势。)”承接珍妮特的个人故事，引出下文对社会普遍现象的介绍，符合语境。 【18题详解】 根据空前的“Today’s technologies, including email, video conferencing, and mobile technology, enable people to work from home, yet stay in touch with the outside world.(如今的技术，包括电子邮件、视频会议以及移动技术，让人们能够居家办公，同时还可以和外界保持联系。)”可知，空格前介绍各类通信技术助力居家办公，此空应对这句话进行进一步阐释说明。E选项“In other words, communication technology has turned many bedrooms into offices. (换句话说，通信技术已经把许多卧室变成了办公室。)”中的In other words是换种说法对前文进行转述，进一步解释技术对居家办公的推动作用，符合语境。 【19题详解】 根据空前的“First of all, you have to be a disciplined (自律的) person.(首先，你必须是一个自律的人。)”以及空后的“Often, getting up bright and early is difficult when there’s no pressure to get to an office. Apart from that, many people would lose their minds if they had to sit all alone in a quiet, empty house day after day!(当没有要去办公室的压力时，早起往往很难。除此之外，如果日复一日独自坐在安静空旷的房子里，很多人会崩溃。)”可知，空前出现First of all表示第一点要求，后文讲到独自居家的问题，此空应提出第二点要求。D选项“Second, you have to be able to work alone, which not everyone can handle. (其次，你必须能够独立工作，并不是所有人都能做到这一点。)”中的Second和上文First of all形成顺序呼应，引出独立工作这第二个条件，与下文独自居家的内容相呼应，符合语境。 【20题详解】 根据空前的“Today, Janet Dole is running her small online ordering business from home.(如今，珍妮特·多尔在家经营着自己小型的线上订购业务。)”以及空后的“I work when I want to, and take time off whenever I need it. I also save money on childcare(我想工作就工作，需要休息就休息。我还能在育儿方面节省开支)”可知，此处是珍妮特本人的直接引语，后文讲述居家工作时间自由的好处，此空为总述感受。A选项“I love the flexibility. (我喜欢这种灵活性。)” 是珍妮特的内心感受，flexibility对应后文时间可以自主安排的内容，引出下文，符合语境。 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 When my neighbor Arlene was sick and asked me to walk her dog Velma, I was happy to ____21____.

Doreen looked out and saw her elderly neighbor Mr. Bower across the street sitting quietly in his garage. She had known him well for years, and everyone in the community loved this gentle old man. However, his garage had long been filled with piles of old furniture, discarded tools, worn-out boxes and various small items he could not bear to throw away. Little space was left for him to move around comfortably. Doreen felt concerned for him. She knew Mr. Bower lived alone most of the time. He kept those old things not only out of habit but also because he cherished memories behind them. Yet the messy garage brought him inconvenience and even safety risks. This time, Doreen made up her mind to help him tidy up the garage in a gentle way. She walked across the street and knocked softly on the garage door. “Good afternoon, Mr. Bower,” she greeted him with a warm smile. “There are so many items in your garage and most of them are no longer useful to you. Why not hold a yard sale? Many neighbors love practical second-hand goods.” At first, the old man hesitated. He was deeply attached to his old things and worried that few people would come to buy them. But Doreen managed to persuade him and promised she would help sort items, make price tags, and post online ads. Finally, Mr. Bower nodded and agreed to hold a yard sale the next day. Fifteen minutes later, Doreen hit the last few necessary keys on her keyboard with satisfaction. She created a detailed online ad for Mr. Bower’s yard sale at 9 a.m. the next day, introducing his old but well-preserved items. She also shared the news in the neighborhood group. Some neighbors showed great interest while others offered to lend a hand. 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。 Saturday morning arrived and the yard was alive with people. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ By mid-afternoon, Mr. Bower was amazed to find his garage tidy. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Saturday morning arrived and the yard was alive with people. Neighbors came one after another, browsing the neatly arranged old items carefully. Doreen helped Mr. Bower introduce each item warmly, telling simple stories behind those old objects. Touched by the precious memories, most visitors were willing to take the items home. Much practical furniture and various tools were sold out quickly. Some neighbors even volunteered to help carry the goods, making the sale go smoothly. The warm atmosphere filled the whole yard and melted the old man’s initial worry. By mid-afternoon, Mr. Bower was amazed to find his garage tidy. Most useless clutter was cleared away, leaving spacious and clean space for him. He felt relieved and grateful, thanking Doreen repeatedly for her thoughtful help. Doreen smiled and told him that letting go of useless things could bring a more comfortable life. From then on, Mr. Bower enjoyed his tidy garage and got along even better with warm-hearted neighbors. He finally realized that proper tidying would not erase his memories but brought him a brand-new life. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了多琳担忧独居邻居鲍尔先生堆满旧物的车库存在隐患，说服老人举办庭院旧货售卖并全程帮忙筹备，最终顺利清理车库、改善老人居住环境、拉近邻里情谊的暖心故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容可知，本段可描写庭院售卖现场热闹的景象、邻里挑选旧物以及多琳帮忙介绍物品的过程。 ②由第二段首句内容可知，本段可描写鲍尔先生看到整洁车库后的内心感受、他对多琳的感谢以及这件事带来的感悟与邻里温情。 2.续写线索：集市热闹——好物售出——车库整洁——心怀感激——释然感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①浏览：browse/scan/look through ②帮助：help/assist/give a helping hand ③介绍：introduce/present 情绪类 ①热情地：warmly/cordially/enthusiastically ②宽慰的：relieved/soothed 【点睛】【高分句型1】Neighbors came one after another, browsing the neatly arranged old items carefully.
