This could be in the form of a visit to a theme park or a staycation in a new hotel. “As a result, their desire to buy things has gone down. This is our way of addressing their basic needs,” said Mehta. In December 2019, Mehta took the family to visit the Indian city of Dharamshala where they spent time with poor children in a school. This was an eye-opener for Alisha and Yuvraj, as they realised that what was normal for them was a treat for those kids. “For those kids, it is a blessing (幸福) to be able to attend school. This experience taught my kids to count their blessings,” said Mehta. During the holiday, the Mehta family gave away pens and pencils to 250 children. This helped Alisha and Yuvraj understand the cost difference in schooling. “They notice how much we spend on their education. The difference in costs helped them make a comparison,” explained Mehta. Back home, the kids are encouraged to do basic housework like making their beds, opening curtains, etc. But Mehta never gives them money for doing those things. This way, they are taught that everyone has to chip in to keep the household running. When they do other tasks beyond the essentials, like massaging the mother’s shoulders, etc., Mehta pays them a small amount. Pointing out a weakness in the education system, Mehta said children don’t get any experience in financial literacy (知识) until they attend university. The father is planning to introduce the concept of a family bank to his children. He also wants his children to pay attention to financial pitfalls such as spending beyond their means, too much use of credit cards, etc. He has set a plan on how money will be spent on some needs. It’s up to his children to use the money carefully. 24．(2.5分)What do we know about Mehta’s way of gifting his children? A．It isn’t really to their liking. B．It changes the way they buy things. C．It allows him to connect with them. D．It teaches them about spending money wisely. 25．(2.5分)What did Mehta’s children learn during the visit to Dharamshala? A．They should appreciate what they have. B．They should make friends with the poor. C．They should cut the cost of their education. D．They should treat different people differently. 26．(2.5分)Why did Mehta refuse to pay his children for doing housework? A．To warn that they must work hard to make money. B．To show that it’s what they’re supposed to do. C．To encourage them to be selfless and careful. D．To force them to develop a good habit. 27．(2.5分)What is the problem with the education system according to Mehta? A．It doesn’t prepare children for money management. B．It doesn’t suggest the importance of saving money. C．It doesn’t encourage children to pay with cash. D．It doesn’t teach children ways to make money. （本题10分）A challenge is a situation that tests your abilities. It needs hard work and courage to get through. Challenges come from many sources, and knowing where they come from is the first step toward dealing with them well. The sources of challenges are often two-part: external (外部的) and internal. External challenges come from the world around you such as moving to a new school, getting used to new study methods, or facing more competition from classmates. Unexpected things, like sudden exams or group project pressure, can also be external challenges. Internal challenges come from yourself. They might be not having enough skills, not knowing some knowledge, or feeling frightened and unsure about yourself — these things can slow down your progress. Often, the hardest challenges mix both external pressure and internal worries. Successfully managing challenges requires a step-by-step method. First, look at the situation clearly and honestly. If a challenge feels too big, divide it into small, easy-to-do tasks. For example, instead of being unconfident with a big project, focus on finishing the first small research. Secondly, actively look for resources (资源) and support. This could be about learning new knowledge through study, improving skills with practice, or depending on the guidance of teachers and the encouragement of friends. Having people to support you gives not only useful tips but also courage and strength. Finally, build resilience. Setbacks (挫折) are a certain part on the path to any meaningful goal — they might make you feel down. The key is to stand up again, learn from what went wrong, and keep moving toward your goal. In short, challenges are something you can’t avoid, and they’re necessary for growth. By understanding where they come from, designing a strategic plan, and carrying on with it without giving up, you can turn difficulties into chances to become better — both in your studies and personal life. 28．(2.5分)Which can be considered an internal source of challenges? A．Uncertainty about the future. B．The development of AI technology. C．Difficult Gaokao questions. D．A new living environment. 29．(2.5分)What should we do firstly when learning to use a video editing app according to the passage? A．Wait to see if it becomes easier. B．Learn new editing skills with practice. C．Master its basic uses one by one. D．Ask friends for encouragement. 30．(2.5分)What does the underlined word “resilience” in paragraph 3 mean? A．The gift for solving problems. B．The knowledge of setting goals. C．The decision to keep going. D．The ability to get back up. 31．(2.5分)What is the writer’s opinion on challenges? A．They set back one’s growth. B．They are a must for success. C．They can be managed wisely. D．They come from inner thoughts. （本题10分）People at your age, like classmates, are peers. When they influence your decisions or actions, it’s called peer pressure — something all of us have faced and must deal with at some point in our life. The need to follow the crowd and do what the majority are doing forces us to take up activities which we wouldn’t otherwise engage in. Recent studies show peer pressure can bring an upside: it makes you reflect on your actions and improve. Observing others working hard to reach their goals will definitely encourage you to make a great effort to achieve something positive. For example, when a teen knows that his teammates are practicing hard to become better players, it will directly affect his own performance. He will put in twice the time and energy to raise the level of his game and ensure he has a place on the team. Positive peer groups also help you develop healthy habits that shape your personality and future. If friends read regularly or exercise daily, you may adopt these habits too, with peer pressure turning into motivation. However, just as everything has two sides, peer pressure also has negatives. It can lower self-confidence; some kids give in to fit in, avoid mockery (嘲笑), or satisfy curiosity, abandoning good judgment for “everyone’s doing it.” It may also distance you from loved ones, making teens feel misunderstood and drawn to bad company. Peer pressure affects many areas of life, from clothes to music. It can be hard to resist, forcing you into discomfort. Thus, recognizing and choosing positive peer influences for healthy, happy experiences is a lifelong task. 32．(2.5分)What does the underlined word “upside” in Paragraph 2 probably mean? A．Risk B．Advantage C．Difficulty D．Change 33．(2.5分)Which of the following is a result of positive peer pressure? A．A student starts reading often because his friends do. B．A teen smokes to avoid being laughed at by peers. C．A child skips homework to play with classmates. D．A teenager keeps secrets from parents to fit in. 34．(2.5分)Why do some kids give in to negative peer pressure? A．To learn from others’ good habits B．To keep up with the crowd and avoid being mocked C．To double their effort in team training D．To develop a lifelong good habit 35．(2.5分)What is the author’s suggestion towards peer pressure? A．Ignore all peer influences in daily life B．Give in to peer pressure to fit in with the group C．Recognize and choose positive peer influences D．Stay away from all peers to avoid pressure （本题12.5分）On paper, everything looks right. You’re making more money than ever. You’ve built something concrete. But if you slow down for a second and tell yourself the truth, something feels off. You’re more successful yet somehow less connected to yourself than ever. 36(2.5分) External success is often framed as: work harder, grow faster, push further, and everything will fall into place. Yet studies show people quickly return to a baseline level of happiness after positive growth changes. In other words, what once seemed like the ultimate solution to your problems and happiness becomes your new normal incredibly fast. 37(2.5分) At a certain level, success stops being something you do and starts becoming who you are. You’re seen as the reliable high-performer who always delivers. 38(2.5分) Research on self-concept shows when people become strongly identified with a specific role or quality, they often resist behaviors that might threaten that identity, even if those behaviors would improve their well-being. This is where the real cost shows up. Your markers of success like your bank account and your calendar may make you appear as if you’re succeeding, but your relationship with yourself suffers. You start ignoring signals like exhaustion and the feeling that something needs to change and tell yourself you will deal with it later. 39(2.5分) And without it, success becomes harder to enjoy and sustain. 40(2.5分) Instead of doing more with more strategy, effort, and discipline, it is about removing what no longer serves you, including unnecessary pressure, unhealthy habits, and outdated rules. So instead of asking what else you need to do and adding more to an overflowing plate, you start questioning what’s no longer necessary. A．Over time, that pattern wears away self-trust. B．So you constantly raise the bar and set new goals. C．Awareness is the first step in rebuilding self-trust. D．It is at this point that “Optimize (最优化)” comes in. E．And for high-performers, success isn’t just fueled by vision. F．While that identity can feel powerful, it can also become a limit. G．This is the hidden cost of success, and most high-performers don’t see it coming. 三、完形填空 （本题15分）CRACK! BOOM! I sat up in my bed, my heart 41 wildly. I was a teenager and had been sleeping deeply a few seconds ago. The lightning struck just like it was right outside my window, causing a flash that seemed to 42 across the sky. It took me a long time to 43 the courage to fall back asleep again. The next day, I walked out to a small spring and saw where the 44 had hit. It had wrapped itself around a crooked oak tree, and I felt 45 for the tree. Yet the next year, I noticed that the tree hadn’t died. In fact, it had fresh, new, green leaves growing on it, and the burnt bark was starting to make up for its previous 46 . I was amazed at the resilience of this tree, with wonder at how it managed to 47 such a strike. 48 , I was reading something that shed fresh light on that tree. A scientific study showed that the 49 floor is all interconnected. When one tree is damaged, the others share their 50 nutrients to keep it alive, 51 their way through their root system. Looking back at my own life, I see that I have taken quite a few lightning 52 as well. Yet, through them all, I have felt the 53 of those around me, which seems to hang over me like a protective canopy(树冠). We aren’t meant to 54 alone, and it’s anything but a coincidence that we find strength in one another, reminding us of the 55 of our bonds. 41．(1分)A．approaching B．pounding C．breathing D．skipping 42．(1分)A．stretch B．shine C．attack D．escape 43．(1分)A．turn up B．show up C．give up D．pull up 44．(1分)A．rain B．lightning C．wind D．storm 45．(1分)A．surprised B．awkward C．frightened D．sad 46．(1分)A．trick B．disease C．damage D．horror 47．(1分)A．survive B．defeat C．balance D．battle 48．(1分)A．Fortunately B．Immediately C．Recently D．Actually 49．(1分)A．forest B．ground C．earth D．desert 50．(1分)A．brief B．familiar C．potential D．precious 51．(1分)A．fighting B．taking C．working D．struggling 52．(1分)A．failures B．strikes C．waves D．flashes 53．(1分)A．opinion B．love C．generosity D．inspiration 54．(1分)A．stand B．ride C．run D．suffer 55．(1分)A．operation B．contribution C．breakdown D．permanence 四、短文语填 五、书信写作 56．（本题15分）假定你是李华，你校英文报“Share Your Opinions”栏目面向全体同学征集稿件，邀请大家分享对“科技改变生活”的思考。请你写一篇短文投稿，内容包括： 1.科技在学习和生活上给你带来的改变； 2.你对这一改变的感受及看法。 注意： 1.写作词数应为80左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 My Opinions on How Technology Changes My Life _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 六、书面表达 57．（本题25分）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。 Nature, while beautiful, could also be unpredictable and merciless. But most importantly, we bear in mind that in the darkest times, there’s always a light at the end of the tunnel, just like Mrs. Evans’ cabin light. One bright summer day, my friend Peter and I decided to take an adventure into the unexplored paths of the Great Smoky Mountains. Blessed with rich biodiversity and fascinating landscapes, the national park seemed a perfect get-away. Little did we know that our casual (随意的) hike would soon turn into an unexpected personal incident, forever kept in our memories. We set off early in the morning, equipped with our backpacks and a map that was supposed to guide us through the winding paths. The sun was up, casting long shadows on the forest floor as we set off on our journey. We trekked (艰难行走), laughed, and wondered at the beauty of nature around us. As we trekked through the thick forests, taking in the natural wonders around us, we couldn’t help but feel a sense of adventure coursing through our body. The path was rough and rocky, but we persisted through the challenging landscape. Midway through our exploration, we came upon a breathtaking waterfall, its shining water pouring down the rocks in a quiet and peaceful melody. We sat down by the water’s edge, taking a moment to get lost in the beauty of nature. The cool mist from the waterfall surrounded us, and we felt refreshed and energetic. As the day went on, we trekked deeper into the wilderness, eager to explore every corner of this natural paradise. We were so absorbed in the beauty of nature that we just didn’t notice our way and it seemed that we could not find the way back to the familiar part of the forest. Frightened, we hurried to find our way back but the thick forests and winding paths only served to confuse us further. We tried to remember any possible signs that might lead us back. No sooner had we celebrated our return to the clear paths than something worse happened. 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。 Suddenly, the weather took an unexpected turn. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Just when we were about to give up, a weak light appeared in the distance. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 试卷第1页，共3页 试卷第1页，共3页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 2 / 2 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 高中英语单元测试——Unit 2 Success（较难版02）（解析版） 学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________ 一、听力选择题 1．（本题1.5分）What can be inferred about Professor Jones’s lectures?

Learning this important skill will also give you a better work-life balance, and help you to feel less anxious. Here are some ways to improve your time management. Firstly, decide which tasks and goals are the most important. Don’t be afraid to say “no” to additional responsibilities, or you will get too stressed. This will lead to the second step — learning to focus. Silence your messages, close unnecessary emails and concentrate on the task at hand. Doing two things at a time may seem like it will save time, but the opposite is usually true! Another smart strategy is to plan your day in advance. Each morning, use a diary or a calendar to organize your schedule. And be sure to plan regular breaks into your schedule. Working without rest will result in high stress levels, making you less effective over time. 二、阅读理解 （本题7.5分）Teaching English as a Second Language (TESL) Overview This enriching program (Bachelor of Education, or B．Ed.) will prepare you to become a specialist educator of English as a Second Language (ESL) at both the elementary and secondary school levels.

This could be in the form of a visit to a theme park or a staycation in a new hotel. “As a result, their desire to buy things has gone down. This is our way of addressing their basic needs,” said Mehta. In December 2019, Mehta took the family to visit the Indian city of Dharamshala where they spent time with poor children in a school. This was an eye-opener for Alisha and Yuvraj, as they realised that what was normal for them was a treat for those kids. “For those kids, it is a blessing (幸福) to be able to attend school. This experience taught my kids to count their blessings,” said Mehta. During the holiday, the Mehta family gave away pens and pencils to 250 children. This helped Alisha and Yuvraj understand the cost difference in schooling. “They notice how much we spend on their education. The difference in costs helped them make a comparison,” explained Mehta. Back home, the kids are encouraged to do basic housework like making their beds, opening curtains, etc. But Mehta never gives them money for doing those things. This way, they are taught that everyone has to chip in to keep the household running. When they do other tasks beyond the essentials, like massaging the mother’s shoulders, etc., Mehta pays them a small amount. Pointing out a weakness in the education system, Mehta said children don’t get any experience in financial literacy (知识) until they attend university. The father is planning to introduce the concept of a family bank to his children. He also wants his children to pay attention to financial pitfalls such as spending beyond their means, too much use of credit cards, etc. He has set a plan on how money will be spent on some needs. It’s up to his children to use the money carefully. 24．(2.5分)What do we know about Mehta’s way of gifting his children? A．It isn’t really to their liking. B．It changes the way they buy things. C．It allows him to connect with them. D．It teaches them about spending money wisely. 25．(2.5分)What did Mehta’s children learn during the visit to Dharamshala? A．They should appreciate what they have. B．They should make friends with the poor. C．They should cut the cost of their education. D．They should treat different people differently. 26．(2.5分)Why did Mehta refuse to pay his children for doing housework? A．To warn that they must work hard to make money. B．To show that it’s what they’re supposed to do. C．To encourage them to be selfless and careful. D．To force them to develop a good habit. 27．(2.5分)What is the problem with the education system according to Mehta? A．It doesn’t prepare children for money management. B．It doesn’t suggest the importance of saving money. C．It doesn’t encourage children to pay with cash. D．It doesn’t teach children ways to make money. 【答案】24．D 25．A 26．B 27．A 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。本文讲述了一位居住在阿联酋的印度父亲，如何通过给予孩子体验式礼物来培养他们的价值观，而不是传统的物质礼物。这位父亲注重培养孩子的价值观和财务意识。 【详解】24．细节理解题。根据第一段“Saahil Mehta, a 40-year-old Indian living in the United Arab Emirates, believes in gifting his two children, Yuvraj, 8 and Alisha, 6, experiences rather than material possessions ( 东西) to celebrate special occasions. This could be in the form of a visit to a theme park or a staycation in a new hotel.( Saahil Mehta是一位居住在阿联酋的40岁印度人，他认为在庆祝特殊场合时，给他的两个孩子，8岁的Yuvraj和6岁的Alisha，提供体验式礼物而不是物质礼物是有意义的。这可能包括去主题公园游玩或者在新酒店度过一段假期。)”以及第二段中“As a result, their desire to buy things has gone down. This is our way of addressing their basic needs(因此，他们购买东西的欲望下降了。这是我们解决他们基本需求的方式)”可知，Mehta 在庆祝一些特殊的日子时，不会送孩子们物质的东西。他可能会带孩子们去主题公园游玩或者在家附近新开的酒店度假。他的这种做法让孩子们没那么看重物质的东西，自然，他们会觉得没必要花钱去购买非必需品。故选D。 25．推理判断题。由第三段中的“This was an eye-opener for Alisha and Yuvraj, as they realised that what was normal for them was a treat for those kids. (这让Alisha和Yuvraj大开眼界，因为他们意识到，对他们来说很正常的事情，对那些孩子来说却是一种享受。)”以及本段中““For those kids, it is a blessing ( 幸福) to be able to attend school. This experience taught my kids to count their blessings,” said Mehta.(“对这些孩子来说，能够上学是一种福气。这次经历教会了我的孩子们要珍惜自己的幸福。”Mehta说)”可知，这次旅行让Mehta的孩子们意识到他们拥有很多东西，他们应该感恩。故选A。 26．细节理解题。倒数第二段中“But Mehta never gives them money for doing those things. This way, they are taught that everyone has to chip in to keep the household running. (但Mehta从不给他们钱。通过这种方式，他们被教导每个人都必须出力来维持家庭的运转。)”可知，Mehta拒绝给他的孩子做家务的钱，其目的是让孩子们意识到自己是家庭的一员，有义务去做家务。故选B。 27．推理判断题。由最后一段中的“Pointing out a weakness in the education system, Mehta said children don’t get any experience in financial literacy (知识) until they attend university. (Mehta指出了教育系统的一个弱点，他说，孩子们在上大学之前没有任何金融知识的经验。)”可知，在当前的教育体制下，孩子们从小理财知识匮乏，即教育体系不会让孩子们为理财做好准备。故选A。 （本题10分）A challenge is a situation that tests your abilities. It needs hard work and courage to get through. Challenges come from many sources, and knowing where they come from is the first step toward dealing with them well. The sources of challenges are often two-part: external (外部的) and internal. External challenges come from the world around you such as moving to a new school, getting used to new study methods, or facing more competition from classmates. Unexpected things, like sudden exams or group project pressure, can also be external challenges. Internal challenges come from yourself. They might be not having enough skills, not knowing some knowledge, or feeling frightened and unsure about yourself — these things can slow down your progress. Often, the hardest challenges mix both external pressure and internal worries. Successfully managing challenges requires a step-by-step method. First, look at the situation clearly and honestly. If a challenge feels too big, divide it into small, easy-to-do tasks. For example, instead of being unconfident with a big project, focus on finishing the first small research. Secondly, actively look for resources (资源) and support. This could be about learning new knowledge through study, improving skills with practice, or depending on the guidance of teachers and the encouragement of friends. Having people to support you gives not only useful tips but also courage and strength. Finally, build resilience. Setbacks (挫折) are a certain part on the path to any meaningful goal — they might make you feel down. The key is to stand up again, learn from what went wrong, and keep moving toward your goal. In short, challenges are something you can’t avoid, and they’re necessary for growth. By understanding where they come from, designing a strategic plan, and carrying on with it without giving up, you can turn difficulties into chances to become better — both in your studies and personal life. 28．(2.5分)Which can be considered an internal source of challenges? A．Uncertainty about the future. B．The development of AI technology. C．Difficult Gaokao questions. D．A new living environment. 29．(2.5分)What should we do firstly when learning to use a video editing app according to the passage? A．Wait to see if it becomes easier. B．Learn new editing skills with practice. C．Master its basic uses one by one. D．Ask friends for encouragement. 30．(2.5分)What does the underlined word “resilience” in paragraph 3 mean? A．The gift for solving problems. B．The knowledge of setting goals. C．The decision to keep going. D．The ability to get back up. 31．(2.5分)What is the writer’s opinion on challenges? A．They set back one’s growth. B．They are a must for success. C．They can be managed wisely. D．They come from inner thoughts. 【答案】28．A 29．C 30．D 31．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了挑战的定义、内外来源，以及应对挑战的步骤，阐明挑战对成长的必要性。 【详解】28．细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Internal challenges come from yourself. They might be not having enough skills, not knowing some knowledge, or feeling frightened and unsure about yourself — these things can slow down your progress.(内在挑战源于你自身。它们可能是技能不足、知识欠缺，或是对自己感到恐惧和不确定——这些都会减缓你的进步)”推知，对未来的不确定属于源于自身的内在挑战。故选A项。 29．推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Successfully managing challenges requires a step-by-step method. First, look at the situation clearly and honestly. If a challenge feels too big, divide it into small, easy-to-do tasks.(成功应对挑战需要循序渐进的方法。首先，清晰诚实地审视现状。如果一个挑战看起来太大，就把它分解成小而容易完成的任务)”可推断，学习使用视频剪辑软件时，首先应将其分解，逐一掌握基本用法。故选C项。 30．词句猜测题。根据第三段中的“Setbacks (挫折) are a certain part on the path to any meaningful goal — they might make you feel down. The key is to stand up again, learn from what went wrong, and keep moving toward your goal.(挫折是实现任何有意义目标道路上的必然部分——它们可能会让你情绪低落。关键是重新站起来，从错误中学习，继续朝着目标前进)”可知，前文提及培养resilience，后文具体解释面对挫折要重新振作，由此猜测resilience意为“恢复力，重新振作的能力”，与D项“重新站起来的能力”意思相近。故选D项。 31．推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“In short, challenges are something you can’t avoid, and they’re necessary for growth. By understanding where they come from, designing a strategic plan, and carrying on with it without giving up, you can turn difficulties into chances to become better.(总之，挑战是无法避免的，它们对成长至关重要。通过了解挑战的来源、制定策略计划并坚持不懈地执行，你可以将困难转化为变得更好的机会)”可知，作者认为挑战可以被明智地应对和管理。故选C项。 （本题10分）People at your age, like classmates, are peers. When they influence your decisions or actions, it’s called peer pressure — something all of us have faced and must deal with at some point in our life. The need to follow the crowd and do what the majority are doing forces us to take up activities which we wouldn’t otherwise engage in. Recent studies show peer pressure can bring an upside: it makes you reflect on your actions and improve. Observing others working hard to reach their goals will definitely encourage you to make a great effort to achieve something positive. For example, when a teen knows that his teammates are practicing hard to become better players, it will directly affect his own performance. He will put in twice the time and energy to raise the level of his game and ensure he has a place on the team. Positive peer groups also help you develop healthy habits that shape your personality and future. If friends read regularly or exercise daily, you may adopt these habits too, with peer pressure turning into motivation. However, just as everything has two sides, peer pressure also has negatives. It can lower self-confidence; some kids give in to fit in, avoid mockery (嘲笑), or satisfy curiosity, abandoning good judgment for “everyone’s doing it.” It may also distance you from loved ones, making teens feel misunderstood and drawn to bad company. Peer pressure affects many areas of life, from clothes to music. It can be hard to resist, forcing you into discomfort. Thus, recognizing and choosing positive peer influences for healthy, happy experiences is a lifelong task. 32．(2.5分)What does the underlined word “upside” in Paragraph 2 probably mean? A．Risk B．Advantage C．Difficulty D．Change 33．(2.5分)Which of the following is a result of positive peer pressure? A．A student starts reading often because his friends do. B．A teen smokes to avoid being laughed at by peers. C．A child skips homework to play with classmates. D．A teenager keeps secrets from parents to fit in. 34．(2.5分)Why do some kids give in to negative peer pressure? A．To learn from others’ good habits B．To keep up with the crowd and avoid being mocked C．To double their effort in team training D．To develop a lifelong good habit 35．(2.5分)What is the author’s suggestion towards peer pressure? A．Ignore all peer influences in daily life B．Give in to peer pressure to fit in with the group C．Recognize and choose positive peer influences D．Stay away from all peers to avoid pressure 【答案】32．B 33．A 34．B 35．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了同伴压力的概念、其带来的积极和消极影响，以及作者对于应对同伴压力的建议。 【详解】32．词句猜测题。根据第二段中划线词后文“it makes you reflect on your actions and improve. Observing others working hard to reach their goals will definitely encourage you to make a great effort to achieve something positive. (它会让你反思自己的行为并加以改进。看到别人为了实现目标而努力奋斗，肯定会激励你付出巨大的努力去达成一些积极的事情)”以及“Positive peer groups also help you develop healthy habits that shape your personality and future. (积极的同伴群体也有助于你养成健康的习惯，塑造你的个性和未来)”可知，同伴压力能带来积极的结果，因此，划线词“upside”应为“优点，好处”之意，与“Advantage”意思相近。故选B项。 33．细节理解题。根据第二段中“If friends read regularly or exercise daily, you may adopt these habits too, with peer pressure turning into motivation. (如果朋友们经常阅读或每天锻炼，你也会养成这些习惯，同伴压力变成了动力)”可知，一个学生因为朋友经常阅读而开始经常阅读是积极同伴压力的结果。故选A项。 34．细节理解题。根据第三段中“It can lower self-confidence; some kids give in to fit in, avoid mockery (嘲笑), or satisfy curiosity, abandoning good judgment for “everyone’s doing it.” (它会降低自信心；有些孩子为了融入群体、避免嘲笑或满足好奇心而屈服，为了“大家都在做”而放弃良好的判断力)”可知，有些孩子屈服于消极的同伴压力是为了融入群体，避免被嘲笑。故选B项。 35．细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Thus, recognizing and choosing positive peer influences for healthy, happy experiences is a lifelong task. (因此，为了健康、快乐的体验，识别和选择积极的同伴影响是一项终身任务)”可知，作者对于同伴压力的建议是识别并选择积极的同伴影响。故选C项。 （本题12.5分）On paper, everything looks right. You’re making more money than ever. You’ve built something concrete. But if you slow down for a second and tell yourself the truth, something feels off. You’re more successful yet somehow less connected to yourself than ever. 36(2.5分) External success is often framed as: work harder, grow faster, push further, and everything will fall into place. Yet studies show people quickly return to a baseline level of happiness after positive growth changes. In other words, what once seemed like the ultimate solution to your problems and happiness becomes your new normal incredibly fast. 37(2.5分) At a certain level, success stops being something you do and starts becoming who you are. You’re seen as the reliable high-performer who always delivers. 38(2.5分) Research on self-concept shows when people become strongly identified with a specific role or quality, they often resist behaviors that might threaten that identity, even if those behaviors would improve their well-being. This is where the real cost shows up. Your markers of success like your bank account and your calendar may make you appear as if you’re succeeding, but your relationship with yourself suffers. You start ignoring signals like exhaustion and the feeling that something needs to change and tell yourself you will deal with it later. 39(2.5分) And without it, success becomes harder to enjoy and sustain. 40(2.5分) Instead of doing more with more strategy, effort, and discipline, it is about removing what no longer serves you, including unnecessary pressure, unhealthy habits, and outdated rules. So instead of asking what else you need to do and adding more to an overflowing plate, you start questioning what’s no longer necessary. A．Over time, that pattern wears away self-trust. B．So you constantly raise the bar and set new goals. C．Awareness is the first step in rebuilding self-trust. D．It is at this point that “Optimize (最优化)” comes in. E．And for high-performers, success isn’t just fueled by vision. F．While that identity can feel powerful, it can also become a limit. G．This is the hidden cost of success, and most high-performers don’t see it coming. 【答案】36．G 37．B 38．F 39．A 40．D 【导语】文章阐述光鲜的外在成功会带来隐性身心损耗，分析优秀人士被固有身份束缚、不断内卷的成因，最后提出通过精简减负的优化方式改善现状。 【详解】36．上文“But if you slow down for a second and tell yourself the truth, something feels off. You’re more successful yet somehow less connected to yourself than ever. (但如果你停下来片刻，对自己诚实一点，就会发现有些地方不对劲。你比以前更成功了，却不知为何比以往任何时候都更与自我失去联系。)”描述了外在成功但和自我失联的现象；选项G“This is the hidden cost of success, and most high-performers don’t see it coming. (这就是成功的隐性代价，大多数高成就者都意识不到它的到来。)”承接上文的现象，点出话题，引出下文对此的进一步探讨。选项中的“This”指代上文的“less connected to yourself than ever”。 37．上文“Yet studies show people quickly return to a baseline level of happiness after positive growth changes. In other words, what once seemed like the ultimate solution to your problems and happiness becomes your new normal incredibly fast.(然而，研究表明，在积极的成长变化之后，人们很快就会回到幸福的基线水平。换句话说，曾经被认为是解决你的问题和幸福的终极解决方案的东西，会以难以置信的速度成为你的新常态。)”指出成功后快乐会很快回归基线，曾经的目标达成后会很快变成新常态；选项B“So you constantly raise the bar and set new goals. (于是你不断提高标准，设定新的目标。)”与上文构成因果关系，指出原有目标不再带来满足，人会不断寻求新目标、设定更高目标，符合逻辑。 38．根据上文“You’re seen as the reliable high-performer who always delivers. (你被视为可靠的高成就者，总能完成任务。)”以及下文“Research on self-concept shows when people become strongly identified with a specific role or quality, they often resist behaviors that might threaten that identity, even if those behaviors would improve their well-being. (对自我概念的研究表明，当人们强烈认同某种特定的角色或品质时，他们通常会抵制可能威胁到这种身份的行为，即使这些行为会提高他们的幸福感。)”可知，上文提到成功逐渐成为一种“高成就者”的身份标签，下文则说明这种身份会限制人；选项F“While that identity can feel powerful, it can also become a limit. (虽然这种身份可能让人感觉强大，但它也可能成为一种限制。)”承上启下，指出身份既有正面作用也存在束缚弊端，引出后文的研究论证，符合语境。 39．根据上文“You start ignoring signals like exhaustion and the feeling that something needs to change and tell yourself you will deal with it later.(你开始忽视疲惫和需要改变的感觉等信号，并告诉自己以后再处理。)”以及下文“And without it, success becomes harder to enjoy and sustain. (没有它，成功就变得更难享受和维持。)”可知，上文提到人们会忽略自身疲惫、改变的信号，把问题延后处理，下文指出缺少某种东西会让成功难以为继。选项A“Over time, that pattern wears away self-trust. (久而久之，这种模式会削弱自我信任。)”阐述前文行为模式会带来的影响，选项中的“that pattern”对应上文阐述的行为模式，“self-trust”正是下文“without it”中it所指代的内容。 40．上文段落阐述了成功的隐性损耗；下文“Instead of doing more with more strategy, effort, and discipline, it is about removing what no longer serves you, including unnecessary pressure, unhealthy habits, and outdated rules. So instead of asking what else you need to do and adding more to an overflowing plate, you start questioning what’s no longer necessary.(它不是用更多的策略、努力和纪律做更多的事情，而是去除那些不再对你有用的东西，包括不必要的压力、不健康的习惯和过时的规则。所以，与其问你还需要做什么，给已经满了的盘子里再添东西，不如开始问什么是不再需要的。)”提出一种与“不断优化、追求更多”不同的做法，介绍了作减法的全新成功思路。选项D“It is at this point that “Optimize (最优化)” comes in. (正是在这一点上，‘最优化’登场了。)”针对上文阐述的问题提出了解决方案，引出新的理念，选项中的“Optimize”呼应下文的“removing what no longer serves you”，符合语境。 三、完形填空 （本题15分）CRACK! BOOM! I sat up in my bed, my heart 41 wildly. I was a teenager and had been sleeping deeply a few seconds ago. The lightning struck just like it was right outside my window, causing a flash that seemed to 42 across the sky. It took me a long time to 43 the courage to fall back asleep again. The next day, I walked out to a small spring and saw where the 44 had hit. It had wrapped itself around a crooked oak tree, and I felt 45 for the tree. Yet the next year, I noticed that the tree hadn’t died. In fact, it had fresh, new, green leaves growing on it, and the burnt bark was starting to make up for its previous 46 . I was amazed at the resilience of this tree, with wonder at how it managed to 47 such a strike. 48 , I was reading something that shed fresh light on that tree. A scientific study showed that the 49 floor is all interconnected. When one tree is damaged, the others share their 50 nutrients to keep it alive, 51 their way through their root system. Looking back at my own life, I see that I have taken quite a few lightning 52 as well. Yet, through them all, I have felt the 53 of those around me, which seems to hang over me like a protective canopy(树冠). We aren’t meant to 54 alone, and it’s anything but a coincidence that we find strength in one another, reminding us of the 55 of our bonds. 41．(1分)A．approaching B．pounding C．breathing D．skipping 42．(1分)A．stretch B．shine C．attack D．escape 43．(1分)A．turn up B．show up C．give up D．pull up 44．(1分)A．rain B．lightning C．wind D．storm 45．(1分)A．surprised B．awkward C．frightened D．sad 46．(1分)A．trick B．disease C．damage D．horror 47．(1分)A．survive B．defeat C．balance D．battle 48．(1分)A．Fortunately B．Immediately C．Recently D．Actually 49．(1分)A．forest B．ground C．earth D．desert 50．(1分)A．brief B．familiar C．potential D．precious 51．(1分)A．fighting B．taking C．working D．struggling 52．(1分)A．failures B．strikes C．waves D．flashes 53．(1分)A．opinion B．love C．generosity D．inspiration 54．(1分)A．stand B．ride C．run D．suffer 55．(1分)A．operation B．contribution C．breakdown D．permanence 【答案】 41．B 42．A 43．D 44．B 45．D 46．C 47．A 48．C 49．A 50．D 51．C 52．B 53．B 54．A 55．D 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章通过描述一棵树在雷击后依然顽强生存并得到其他树木帮助的现象，类比到人在生活中遇到困难时也会得到周围人的支持和帮助，强调了人与人之间联系的力量和永恒性。 【详解】41．考查动词词义辨析。句意：我从床上坐起来，心狂跳。A. approaching接近；B. pounding猛跳；C. breathing呼吸；D. skipping跳过。根据前文“CRACK!

But most importantly, we bear in mind that in the darkest times, there’s always a light at the end of the tunnel, just like Mrs. Evans’ cabin light. One bright summer day, my friend Peter and I decided to take an adventure into the unexplored paths of the Great Smoky Mountains. Blessed with rich biodiversity and fascinating landscapes, the national park seemed a perfect get-away. Little did we know that our casual (随意的) hike would soon turn into an unexpected personal incident, forever kept in our memories. We set off early in the morning, equipped with our backpacks and a map that was supposed to guide us through the winding paths. The sun was up, casting long shadows on the forest floor as we set off on our journey. We trekked (艰难行走), laughed, and wondered at the beauty of nature around us. As we trekked through the thick forests, taking in the natural wonders around us, we couldn’t help but feel a sense of adventure coursing through our body. The path was rough and rocky, but we persisted through the challenging landscape. Midway through our exploration, we came upon a breathtaking waterfall, its shining water pouring down the rocks in a quiet and peaceful melody. We sat down by the water’s edge, taking a moment to get lost in the beauty of nature. The cool mist from the waterfall surrounded us, and we felt refreshed and energetic. As the day went on, we trekked deeper into the wilderness, eager to explore every corner of this natural paradise. We were so absorbed in the beauty of nature that we just didn’t notice our way and it seemed that we could not find the way back to the familiar part of the forest. Frightened, we hurried to find our way back but the thick forests and winding paths only served to confuse us further. We tried to remember any possible signs that might lead us back. No sooner had we celebrated our return to the clear paths than something worse happened. 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。 Suddenly, the weather took an unexpected turn. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Just when we were about to give up, a weak light appeared in the distance. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】     Suddenly, the weather took an unexpected turn. Dark clouds shrouded the sky, and a heavy downpour ensued. The comforting forest sounds quickly proved a terrifying symphony of thunder and wind. The trail that was once so clear became a muddy mess, making it impossible to go on. We tried to consult our map, but it was too late; we got lost in the wildness. Hours passing, our attempts to find the trail turned out to be in vain. With the cold creeping in, despair started to set in. Just when we were about to give up, a weak light appeared in the distance. Curiosity overpowered our fear, and we decided to follow it. When we drew nearer, we saw a small log cabin, lights shining from its windows. Knocking on the door, an elderly woman, Mrs. Evans, welcomed us with a warm smile. She was a retired ranger who had chosen to live her twilight years in the heart of the mountains. She offered us shelter for the night, and the next morning, guided us back to the main trail. This incident strengthened our friendship and taught us the importance of resilience and hope. The experience was beyond expectation, terrifying, but enlightening all the same. 【导语】本文以人物为线索，讲述了作者和朋友去远足，被山里的美景吸引，但是突然发现迷路了，这时天气急转直下，暴风雨来临，艰难中行走，尝试很多方法找不到路，感到绝望，看到远处的微光，最终得到救助，感悟坚韧和希望的重要性。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“突然，天气发生了意想不到的变化。”可知，第一段可描写暴风雨来临后，他们的行动更加艰难，此时他们的心理活动和行动。 ②由第二段首句内容“就在我们正要放弃的时候，远处出现了一道微弱的光。”可知，第二段可描写他们向着灯光的方向前行时的心情，灯光的源头是什么，他们怎么找到回家的路，以及坚韧和希望的重要性。 2.续写线索：雨中行走——寒冷无助——看到灯光——向光前行——被接待——找到路——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①向前走：go on/go ahead/move on ②查询：consult/refer to ③迷路：get lost/lose one’s way/miss one’s way 情绪类 ①绝望：despair/hopelessness ②害怕：fear/scare 【点睛】[高分句型1] The trail that was once so clear became a muddy mess, making it impossible to go on.(运用了that引导的定语从句和现在分词作结果状语) [高分句型2]She was a retired ranger who had chosen to live her twilight years in the heart of the mountains.(运用了who引导的定语从句) 试卷第1页，共3页 试卷第1页，共3页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 2 / 2 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
