The annual event encouraged individuals and businesses to turn off their lights for one hour, from 8: 30 to 9: 30 p.m. local time. This symbolic act serves as a reminder of the urgent need to protect our planet from climate change and environmental damage. The Origin of Earth Hour Earth Hour began in Sydney, Australia, 18 years ago. On March 31, 2007, the Australian chapter of the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) asked the city’s residents and businesses to switch off all lights for an hour. Over two million households and 2,100 enterprises took part. Even landmarks like the Sydney Opera House and the Sydney Harbour Bridge went dark. This small action resulted in a 10 percent reduction in electricity use during a typical evening hour in Sydney. The first event’s success got the world’s attention. By 2009, nearly 4,000 cities worldwide had joined the initiative. Today, Earth Hour is the world’s largest grassroots environmental movement. It is observed in over 180 countries and territories. Earth Hour has sparked real environmental initiatives globally. It has helped establish a marine sanctuary (保护区) in Argentina and an Earth Hour forest in Uganda. In French Polynesia, the movement inspired the creation of the Managed Marine Area to protect marine ecosystems. Participation Joining Earth Hour is easy. Simply turn off non-essential lights and electrical appliances for one hour. Use the time to enjoy a candlelight dinner with family and friends or plan a picnic under the stars. For an extended experience, go camping and make it an “Earth Night”. Beyond Earth Hour Earth Hour is a reminder that small daily habits can lead to meaningful changes. Let us all do our part in saving the only home we have. 1. What probably contributes to Earth Hour’s growth? A. Business financing. B. Landmark promotion. C. Government support. D. Sydney’s initial success. 2. What is the main goal of Earth Hour? A. To promote tourism in Sydney. B. To support business development. C. To encourage energy conservation. D. To celebrate technological advancements. 3. What can be inferred about Earth Hour today? A. It’s centered on Sydney’s local events. B. It is a widely recognized movement. C. It’s required in over 180 countries. D. Its influence has declined over time. 【答案】1. D 2. C 3. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章介绍了“地球一小时”活动，该活动始于澳大利亚，现已成为全球最大的基层环保运动。文章倡导通过简单行动应对世界气候变化，保护自然环境。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据The Origin of Earth Hour部分中第一段中“Earth Hour began in Sydney, Australia, 18 years ago. On March 31, 2007, the Australian chapter of the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) asked the city’s residents and businesses to switch off all lights for an hour. Over two million households and 2, 100 enterprises took part.(“地球一小时”始于18年前的澳大利亚悉尼2007年3月31日，世界自然基金会（WWF）澳大利亚分会呼吁该市居民和企业关闭所有灯光一小时。超过200万户家庭和2100家企业参与了此次活动)”及第二段中“The first event’s success got the world’s attention. By 2009, nearly 4,000 cities worldwide had joined the initiative.(第一次活动的成功引起了全世界的关注。到2009年，全球近4000个城市加入了这项活动)”可知，悉尼首次活动的成功吸引了全球关注，推动了地球一小时的发展。故选D。 【2题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“The annual event encouraged individuals and businesses to turn off their lights for one hour, from 8:30 to 9:30 p.m. local time. This symbolic act serves as a reminder of the urgent need to protect our planet from climate change and environmental damage.(这项年度活动鼓励个人和企业从当地时间晚上8:30到9:30关灯一小时。这一象征性的行为提醒我们，保护地球免受气候变化和环境破坏的紧迫性)”以及The Origin of Earth Hour部分中第一段中“This small action resulted in a 10 percent reduction in electricity use during a typical evening hour in Sydney.(这一小小的行动使得悉尼一个典型的夜晚用电量减少了10%)”可推知，“地球一小时”的主要目标是鼓励节能。故选C。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。根据 The Origin of Earth Hour部分中的第二段中“Today, Earth Hour is the world’s largest grassroots environmental movement. It is observed in over 180 countries and territories.(“地球一小时”活动是如今世界上最大的基层环保运动，超过180个国家和地区参与其中)” 可推知，该活动已成为全球广泛认可的环保运动。故选B。 B Joss Naylor, known as the “Iron Man” of fell running, was born in 1936 in Wasdale Head, Cumbria. Fell running is a sport of off-trail mountain racing, and Naylor became a symbol of endurance and determination. As a sheep farmer by profession, he became famous for his remarkable physical abilities. In 1971, Naylor became the sixth person to complete the Bob Graham Round, a 24-hour challenge covering 66 miles and 42 peaks in the Lake District. He did better than expected by climbing 61 peaks in just 23 hours and 37 minutes. The following year, he tackled 63 peaks, and in 1975, he reached 72 peaks, all under 24 hours. At age 50 in 1986, he completed the Wainwright Round, which involved climbing 214 peaks in seven days, setting a record that stood until 2014. Naylor’s feats were even more impressive considering the physical challenges he faced. Growing up on a farm, he suffered many injuries, starting with a punishment from his mother. At age 19, he had all the cartilage (软骨) removed from one knee, and by 22, he had two discs (椎间盘) removed. Doctors told him to avoid hard exercise and even gave him a special underwear to wear, which he ignored. Instead, he returned to his work as a sheep farmer. In the 1960 Wasdale Fell Race, Naylor hadn’t officially entered but joined in wearing his work boots. He quickly took the lead but fell down because of cramps (肌肉抽筋), finishing last. Despite this, he kept racing, improving with each race. In 1971, after completing the Bob Graham Round, he set a new record in the National Three Peaks Challenge, climbing the highest peaks in England, Scotland and Wales within 12 hours, a record that still stands. Naylor faced countless injuries over the years, including losing all his toenails and skin on his feet during a two-day race in 1976. He even lost a race in 1970 after being kicked by a cow. However, no amount of pain, whether from injuries or animals, could stop him. His reputation grew, and in June 2024, hundreds of fell runners honored him by running eight miles up the valley near his home to his funeral. 4. What can we conclude about Naylor’s early life? A. He was very good at school sports. B. He faced frequent physical injuries. C. He lacked proper running equipment. D. He struggled with farm responsibilities. 5. What can be inferred about Joss Naylor’s personality? A. He worried a lot about injuries. B. He gave up easily when he failed. C. He stayed strong and kept going. D. He thought little of tough exercises. 6. Why did Naylor’s physical achievements seem extraordinary? A. He competed in several countries. B. He achieved records despite injuries. C. He improved alternative medical treatments. D. He was the first to attempt the challenges. 7. What does the 2024 funeral event imply about Naylor? A. He lived far away from his community. B. He pursued recognition from the public. C. He continued competing until his last days. D. He earned runners’ respect and admiration. 【答案】4. B 5. C 6. B 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了“铁人” Joss Naylor 的传奇人生。他以超凡的毅力和决心著称，尽管面临多次伤病，他仍创造了多项纪录，成为山地跑的象征。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Growing up on a farm, he suffered many injuries, starting with a punishment from his mother. At age 19, he had all the cartilage (软骨) removed from one knee, and by 22, he had two discs (椎间盘) removed.(他在农场长大，受过很多伤，最初是来自母亲的惩罚。19岁时，他摘除了一个膝盖上的所有软骨，22岁时，他又摘除了两个椎间盘)”可知，Naylor的早年生活中经常遭受身体上的伤害。故选B。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段中“Doctors told him to avoid hard exercise and even gave him a special underwear to wear, which he ignored. Instead, he returned to his work as a sheep farmer.(医生告诉他要避免剧烈运动，甚至给他穿了一件特殊的内衣，但他没有理会。相反，他回到了牧羊工作中。)”、第四段中“He quickly took the lead but fell down because of cramps (肌肉抽筋), finishing last. Despite this, he kept racing, improving with each race.(他很快就取得了领先，但由于抽筋而摔倒了，最后一名。尽管如此，他还是坚持比赛，每一场比赛都在进步。)”以及最后一段中“However, no amount of pain, whether from injuries or animals, could stop him. (然而，无论是受伤还是动物带来的痛苦，都无法阻止他。)”可推知，Joss Naylor面对困难和伤痛从不退缩，一直保持坚强并继续前进。故选C。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“Naylor’s feats were even more impressive considering the physical challenges he faced.(考虑到Naylor所面临的身体挑战，他的成就更加令人印象深刻)”、倒数第二段“Despite this, he kept racing, improving with each race. In 1971, after completing the Bob Graham Round, he set a new record in the National Three Peaks Challenge, climbing the highest peaks in England, Scotland and Wales within 12 hours, a record that still stands.(尽管如此，他还是坚持比赛，每一场比赛都在进步。1971年，在完成鲍勃·格雷厄姆环行后，他在全国三峰挑战中创造了新的记录，在12小时内攀登了英格兰、苏格兰和威尔士的最高峰，这一记录至今仍保持着。)”以及最后一段中“Naylor faced countless injuries over the years, including losing all his toenails and skin on his feet during a two-day race in 1976.(多年来，Naylor经历了无数次伤病，包括在1976年为期两天的比赛中失去了所有的脚趾甲和脚上的皮肤)”可推知，Naylor的身体成就之所以非凡，是因为他尽管受伤仍创造了记录。故选B。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“His reputation grew, and in June 2024, hundreds of fell runners honored him by running eight miles up the valley near his home to his funeral.(他的名声越来越大，2024年6月，数百名山地跑者为了向他致敬，从他家附近的山谷跑了8英里到他的葬礼上)”可推知，2024年的葬礼事件表明Naylor赢得了跑步者的尊重和钦佩。故选D。 C Go to any movie theater or sports venue, and it’s obvious there’s an invisible bond that forms from laughing, crying, and simply feeling while brushing shoulders with others. Researches have long backed up this sense of connection, but some aspects of the phenomenon remained unclear. Now, a new study is offering insight. Writing in the journal Royal Society Open Science, Victor Chung of the École Normale Supérieure in France and his team reported how they examined the matter by inviting strangers to watch videos together in same sex pairs. Pairs of strangers watched three types of videos together: positive, negative, and neutral (中性的) with a curtain between them that was either open or closed. At the start of the experiment the researchers asked each participant whether they’d like to meet the other member of their pair again. After watching each video, participants reported their emotions and feelings of connectedness, and after seeing all three videos they were asked once again about their feelings towards the other participant. The results showed the emotional films generated stronger responses than the neutral film. Crucially, the team said participants’ feelings of connectedness within the pairs was boosted when they experienced more intense emotions. However, this was only the case when participants watched the films with the curtain between them open. The researchers said that whether or not the pairs could see each other had no impact on how positively or negatively they felt about the films. “We found that silently watching emotional films together with another individual is associated with social bonding, even when this person is a stranger and without any verbal (口头的) communication,” said Chung, the study author. The team added that the findings may help explain why people seek out group activities that generate strong emotions, “even participating in sad memorials that cause negative emotions.” In other words, because emotion bonds us, and humans have a fundamental desire to belong, we’re up for experiences one might think we’d naturally want to avoid. 8. What does “the phenomenon” in paragraph 1 refer to? A. Shared emotions bond people. B. Physical touch helps tackle stress. C. A chance encounter leads to a friendship. D. Entertainment is a crucial part of human life. 9. How did the researchers get their findings? A. By analyzing participants’ emotions. B. By comparing participants’ self-reports. C. By documenting participants’ video responses. D. By stimulating participants’ desire for interaction. 10. The study found that strong bonds were indeed created between pairs only when ______. A. they were familiar with each other B. they watched neutral films together C. they were aware of the presence of each other D. they could see each other while watching the films 11. What is presented in the last paragraph of the text? A. An interpretation of the findings. B. Potential implication of the findings. C. Supporting evidence for the findings. D. The underlying logic behind the findings. 【答案】8. A 9. B 10. D 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要探讨了共同观看情感视频如何促进陌生人之间的社会联系。研究通过实验发现，当陌生人一起观看情感视频并能够看到彼此时，他们的联系感会增强。 【8题详解】 词句猜测题。根据文章第一段中“Go to any movie theater or sports venue, and it’s obvious there’s an invisible bond that forms from laughing, crying, and simply feeling while brushing shoulders with others.(去任何电影院或体育场馆，很明显，通过与他人一起笑、哭和感受，会形成一种无形的联系。)”可推知“the phenomenon”指的是上文提到的“共享情感会联系人们”。故选A。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段中“After watching each video, participants reported their emotions and feelings of connectedness, and after seeing all three videos they were asked once again about their feelings towards the other participant.(观看每个视频后，参与者报告了他们的情绪和联系感，看完所有三个视频后，他们再次被问及对另一位参与者的感受。)”可推知，研究人员通过比较参与者的自我报告得出研究结果。故选B。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第四段中“Crucially, the team said participants’ feelings of connectedness within the pairs was boosted when they experienced more intense emotions. However, this was only the case when participants watched the films with the curtain between them open.(关键的是，研究团队表示，当参与者经历更强烈的情感时，他们之间的联系感会增强。然而，这种情况仅发生在参与者拉开窗帘观看电影时。)”可知，他们在看电影时可以互相看到对方。故选D。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章最后一段中“The team added that the findings may help explain why people seek out group activities that generate strong emotions, ‘even participating in sad memorials that cause negative emotions.’(研究团队补充说，这些发现可能有助于解释为什么人们会寻求产生强烈情感的群体活动，“甚至参加引发负面情绪的悲伤纪念活动”。)”可知，最后一段提出了研究结果的潜在意义。故选B。 D This might sound impossibly old-fashioned, but I still like the idea that education is about learning: facts, skills, culture, analysis, inspiration. It’s supposed to make us better citizens. But over the last decade, the goal of learning has given way to grades and degrees. The unfortunate result has been inflation (膨胀) of both. They rise ever higher; learning doesn’t. To avoid discouraging students, some school districts did away with D and F grades. Grade-point averages have consistently risen even though scores on nationwide standardized exams such as the SAT have not. It’s not that I think standardized tests are the final word in measuring excellence. But when the gaps between grades and test scores are this wide and consistent, parents and the public should not be fooled. That’s true not just of low-achieving students. In a 2023 survey, educators said that close to half of students argue for higher grades than they earn, and 8 out of 10 teachers give in. It’s hard to blame them: A third or more of students and parents disturb them when they don’t. Unearned grades are damaging in many ways. Some students, armed with good grades, march off to college to find themselves in remedial (补习的) classes because they haven’t learned enough to take college-level courses. Employers complain that high school and even college graduates lack basic skills needed in the workforce. There are also complaints from college professors that the students aren’t even good at reading books. Grade inflation has followed students into college. Some professors hesitate to grade accurately because of student evaluations, which are often more negative for tough graders. Remember that about 70% of college instructors are adjunct (兼职) professors who have few job protections. Many Ivy League students have learned to cherry-pick easy-grading professors. Yet a Brown University study found that students taking courses from professors with stricter grading standards learned more. We have to ask ourselves as a society: Do we want college to be a place of intellectual growth — or a performative exercise in grade fishing? 12. What are parents fooled into thinking? A. SAT is the best measure of their children's abilities. B. The purpose of education is to make better citizens. C. Grade-point averages are vital for college application. D. Children’s high grades reflect their exceptional abilities. 13. What is a consequence of grade inflation? A. Employers favor students with higher degrees. B. Graduates fall short of employers’ expectations. C. Remedial classes become required courses in college. D. Low-achieving students find it harder to enter college. 14. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. Tough graders desire job security. B. Strict grading promotes real learning. C. Student evaluations fuel intellectual growth. D. Easy-grading professors start grade inflation. 15. What is the best title of the text? A. The game of scores B. Today, Grade A is for average C. The force behind grade inflation D. Now, learning takes the front seat 【答案】12. D 13. B 14. B 15. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章主要讨论了成绩膨胀的现象，指出现在教育中成绩和学位的目标取代了学习本身，成绩膨胀导致学生实际学习不足，不能满足雇主的需求，作者认为应该重视真正的学习，而不是单纯追求高分。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Grade-point averages have consistently risen even though scores on nationwide standardized exams such as the SAT have not. It’s not that I think standardized tests are the final word in measuring excellence. But when the gaps between grades and test scores are this wide and consistent, parents and the public should not be fooled.(平均绩点一直在上升，尽管像学术能力评估测试（SAT）这样的全国标准化考试成绩并没有提高。并不是说我认为标准化考试是衡量优秀的最终标准。但是当成绩和考试分数之间的差距如此之大且持续存在时，家长和公众不应该被愚弄)”可知，学生的平均绩点持续上升，但全国标准化考试成绩却没有相应提高，当成绩和考试分数差距很大且持续存在时，父母和公众不应该被愚弄，即父母被误导认为孩子的高分反映了他们卓越的能力。故选D项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Employers complain that high school and even college graduates lack basic skills needed in the workforce.(雇主抱怨高中生甚至大学毕业生缺乏劳动力所需的基本技能)”可知，雇主抱怨高中甚至大学毕业生缺乏劳动力所需的基本技能，即成绩膨胀的后果是毕业生达不到雇主的期望。故选B项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Yet a Brown University study found that students taking courses from professors with stricter grading standards learned more.(然而，布朗大学的一项研究发现，接受评分标准更严格的教授课程的学生学到的东西更多)”可知，布朗大学的一项研究发现，接受评分标准更严格的教授课程的学生学到的东西更多。由此推知，严格的评分能促进真正的学习。故选B项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“This might sound impossibly old-fashioned, but I still like the idea that education is about learning: facts, skills, culture, analysis, inspiration. It’s supposed to make us better citizens. But over the last decade, the goal of learning has given way to grades and degrees. The unfortunate result has been inflation (膨胀) of both. They rise ever higher; learning doesn’t.(这听起来可能有些不切实际地守旧，但我仍然喜欢教育是关于学习的理念：学习事实、技能、文化、分析以及获取灵感。教育本应让我们成为更优秀的公民。但在过去的十年里，学习的目标逐渐让位于分数和学位。其不幸的结果是两者都出现了膨胀。它们不断攀升；而学习却并未跟上)”及下文内容可知，文章主要讨论了成绩膨胀的现象，指出现在学生的成绩虚高，实际能力不足，很多学生和家长被高成绩所误导，给分宽松的现象普遍存在，而严格的评分能促进真正的学习。由此可知，文章最好的标题是B项“Today, Grade A is for average(如今，A 等级只是平均分)”。故选B项。 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能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 You may have seen them standing alone in a farmer’s field. With thin arms and a strange smile, they stand guard over the crops day and night. ____16____ Scarecrows have been around since at least the time of the ancient Egyptians. Back then, farmers covered wooden frames with nets to protect wheat fields. ____17____ Around 2500 BCE, the Greeks made the first human-like scarecrows. They added a face which was similar to that of the Greek god Priapus. ____18____ The Romans later copied this design and brought it to Europe. Centuries after the Romans marched through Europe, people around the world were creating their own scarecrows. In Japan, scarecrows were shaped like people in raincoats and straw hats. In Germany, scarecrows were made to look like witches. ____19____ In the oldest book of Japanese literature, The Kojiki, a scarecrow named Kuebiko appears. Though he can’t walk, Kuebiko is a kind of all-knowing god. In the mid-19th century, writer Nathaniel Hawthorne brought scarecrows into literature with the short story “Feathertop.” In this tale, a witch who prays to the Devil brings a scarecrow to life. Then there is the most famous scarecrow. His name is simply “Scarecrow,” and he appears in The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. In the children’s novel, Scarecrow joins Dorothy, Tin Man and the Cowardly Lion on an adventure to meet the wizard of the magical land of Oz. ____20____ Aside from these examples, scarecrows have featured in rock songs and as characters in comic books. On Halloween, they are brought out as scary decorations. Both practical and creepy, scarecrows continue to capture our imagination. A. Scarecrows appear everywhere in the world. B. We can never ignore the influence of stories about scarecrow. C. They are scarecrows, whose job has gone unchanged for thousands of years. D. They would hide in the wheat, and then jump out to scare birds into their nets. E. This was thought to be scary enough to keep birds away from their precious fields. F. Throughout the years, scarecrows have made many appearances in popular culture. G. Scarecrow has appeared in films and plays around the world since the release of the book. 【答案】16. C 17. D 18. E 19. F 20. G 【解析】 【导语】本篇为说明文。介绍了稻草人(scarecrow)的来历以及其形象在文学作品和其他文娱领域的应用。 【16题详解】 根据上文“You may have seen them standing alone in a farmer’s field. With thin arms and a strange smile, they stand guard over the crops day and night.(你可能见过它们独自站在农民的田地里。它们长着瘦弱的手臂，带着奇怪的微笑，日夜守护着庄稼)”并结合下文对稻草人的介绍推知，空处应承上启下，C项“They are scarecrows, whose job has gone unchanged for thousands of years.(它们是稻草人，它们的作用几千年来没有改变)”符合题意，既指出上文提到的就是稻草人，又引出下文对稻草人的介绍。故选C。 【17题详解】 上文“Scarecrows have been around since at least the time of the ancient Egyptians. Back then, farmers covered wooden frames with nets to protect wheat fields.(至少在古埃及时代，稻草人就已经出现了。当时，农民们用网覆盖木框来保护麦田)”介绍了农民用网盖住木架子来保护小麦，由此推知下文应该是在讲农民的其他做法。D项“They would hide in the wheat, and then jump out to scare birds into their nets.(他们会躲在麦子里，然后跳出来把鸟儿吓到网里)”符合题意，选项中的they指代上文的farmers 。故选D。 【18题详解】 根据上文“Around 2500 BCE, the Greeks made the first human-like scarecrows. They added a face which was similar to that of the Greek god Priapus.(大约在公元前2500年，希腊人制造了第一个人形稻草人。他们添加了一张与希腊神普里阿普斯相似的脸)”可知，希腊人制作的稻草人添加了与阿普斯相似的脸。由此推知，空处陈述这样做的目的是什么。E项“This was thought to be scary enough to keep birds away from their precious fields.(这被认为是足够可怕的，使鸟类远离他们宝贵的土地)”符合题意，选项中this指代上文“他们添加了一张与希腊神普里阿普斯相似的脸”这种做法。故选E。 【19题详解】 空处为本段主旨句。根据下文“In the oldest book of Japanese literature, The Kojiki, a scarecrow named Kuebiko appears. Though he can’t walk, Kuebiko is a kind of all-knowing god. In the mid-19th century, writer Nathaniel Hawthorne brought scarecrows into literature with the short story “Feathertop.” In this tale, a witch who prays to the Devil brings a scarecrow to life.(在日本最古老的文学作品《歌之木》中，出现了一个名叫“酷比子”的稻草人。虽然不能走路，但他是一个无所不知的神。19世纪中期，作家纳撒尼尔·霍桑以短篇小说Feathertop将稻草人引入文学。在这个故事中，一个女巫向魔鬼祈祷，使稻草人活了过来)”可知，本段介绍的是稻草人在文学作品中的运用。F项“Throughout the years, scarecrows have made many appearances in popular culture.(多年来，稻草人在流行文化中多次出现)”符合本段主旨。故选F。 【20题详解】 空处位于段末，应承接上文。根据上文“His name is simply “Scarecrow,” and he appears in The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. In the children’s novel, Scarecrow joins Dorothy, Tin Man and the Cowardly Lion on an adventure to meet the wizard of the magical land of Oz.(他的名字很简单，叫“稻草人”，他出现在《绿野仙踪》中。在这本儿童小说中，稻草人与多萝茜、铁皮人和胆小的狮子一起冒险，去遇到神奇的奥兹国的巫师)”可知，上文陈述了稻草人在《绿野仙踪》中的形象。由此推知，下文内容应与此相关。G项“Scarecrow has appeared in films and plays around the world since the release of the book.(自从这本书出版以来，稻草人已经出现在世界各地的电影和戏剧中)”符合题意，选项中的this book指代上文的提到的The Wonderful Wizard of Oz一书。故选G。 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，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题纸上将该项涂黑。 In 2020, when Angela was just 10 years old, she entered her first piano competition.

She was an outstanding student, consistently topping her class in every subject. She was also a gifted pianist, her fingers dancing gracefully over the keys, creating the most beautiful melodies that could move people to tears. In contrast, I was just an ordinary kid. My grades were plain, and I had no particular talent that could make me stand out. Our parents, especially my mother, always compared me to Lily. This constant comparison made me feel less confident and inadequate. So, I forced myself to study for long hours, even when I was exhausted. I also took piano lessons, but my clumsy fingers could never produce the same magic as Lily’s. In high school, I joined the drama club, thinking that it might be a way to shine. I was so eager to prove myself that I took on every role that came my way, regardless of whether it suited me or not. I tried to parrot the acting styles of famous actors, but my performances always seemed forced and unnatural. The other club members started to give me strange looks, and I could sense their disappointment. I started to question myself: Why was I trying so hard to be someone I wasn’t? One day, while helping out in the school library, I accidentally discovered a book on photography. As I flipped through the pages, I was fascinated with the charming images. That night, I started to imagine myself behind the camera, capturing the beauty of the world around me. The next day, I used my savings to buy a second-hand camera. I began to explore the school campus, taking pictures of the old buildings, the blooming flowers, and the smiling faces of my classmates. I found I could photograph in a way that made the ordinary look extraordinary. 注意： (1) 续写词数应为150个左右; (2) 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 With my camera in hand, I began to gain some confidence. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The photography competition gave me more than an honor. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 With my camera in hand, I began to gain some confidence. Summoning up my courage, I took the initiative to ask several drama club members whether I could take some pictures for them. Reluctant as they were, they ultimately nodded, pretending to perform an opera. Moves and gestures, which I believed wouldn’t fail to gratify them, were captured from different angles. No sooner had they browsed the pictures than they were dumbfounded by my aptitude for framing a shot. Days later, the notice came that the photography competition was scheduled to be held. Without the slightest hesitation, I picked out my favorite work in my camera, submitting it to the organizer, followed by my name topping on the award list. The photography competition gave me more than an honor. Undoubtedly, a sense of accomplishment and a feeling of happiness temporarily overwhelmed me, as I managed to prove to my parents that I outperformed Lily in photography. Most importantly, however, other competitors’ works caught my attention, all of which showcased unique characteristics my work didn’t possess. It was not until then that I cast no doubt on the existence of everyone’s strengths and values. In other words, exposing your advantages to others was merely a matter of time. Now, gone are the days when I poured much time into blind imitation, but it is what I have to go through toward a self-discovery journey. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者从小活在姐姐的阴影下，被父母不断比较，缺乏自信，努力模仿他人却未得认可。一次偶然机会，作者接触摄影并展现天赋，通过摄影比赛获得荣誉，最终领悟到每个人都有自己的长处和价值，不再盲目模仿，踏上自我发现之旅的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“手拿相机，我开始有了一些自信。”可知，第一段可描写作者鼓起勇气为戏剧俱乐部成员拍照，获得认可，随后参加摄影比赛并获奖的经过。 ②由第二段首句内容“摄影比赛给我的不仅仅是荣誉。”可知，第二段可描写作者从比赛中领悟到每个人都有长处和价值，不再盲目模仿，踏上自我发现之旅的感悟。 2.续写线索：鼓起勇气拍照——获得认可——参加比赛获奖——领悟道理——不再盲目模仿——踏上自我发现之旅 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①鼓起勇气：summon up my courage/screw up my courage/muster up my courage ②拍照：take pictures/photograph/shoot ③展现：showcase/display 情绪类 ①目瞪口呆：dumbfounded/astonished ②幸福：happiness/well - being 【点睛】[高分句型1] Reluctant as they were, they ultimately nodded, pretending to perform an opera.

The annual event encouraged individuals and businesses to turn off their lights for one hour, from 8: 30 to 9: 30 p.m. local time. This symbolic act serves as a reminder of the urgent need to protect our planet from climate change and environmental damage. The Origin of Earth Hour Earth Hour began in Sydney, Australia, 18 years ago. On March 31, 2007, the Australian chapter of the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) asked the city’s residents and businesses to switch off all lights for an hour. Over two million households and 2,100 enterprises took part. Even landmarks like the Sydney Opera House and the Sydney Harbour Bridge went dark. This small action resulted in a 10 percent reduction in electricity use during a typical evening hour in Sydney. The first event’s success got the world’s attention. By 2009, nearly 4,000 cities worldwide had joined the initiative. Today, Earth Hour is the world’s largest grassroots environmental movement. It is observed in over 180 countries and territories. Earth Hour has sparked real environmental initiatives globally. It has helped establish a marine sanctuary (保护区) in Argentina and an Earth Hour forest in Uganda. In French Polynesia, the movement inspired the creation of the Managed Marine Area to protect marine ecosystems. Participation Joining Earth Hour is easy. Simply turn off non-essential lights and electrical appliances for one hour. Use the time to enjoy a candlelight dinner with family and friends or plan a picnic under the stars. For an extended experience, go camping and make it an “Earth Night”. Beyond Earth Hour Earth Hour is a reminder that small daily habits can lead to meaningful changes. Let us all do our part in saving the only home we have. 1. What probably contributes to Earth Hour’s growth? A. Business financing. B. Landmark promotion. C. Government support. D. Sydney’s initial success. 2. What is the main goal of Earth Hour? A. To promote tourism in Sydney. B. To support business development. C. To encourage energy conservation. D. To celebrate technological advancements. 3. What can be inferred about Earth Hour today? A. It’s centered on Sydney’s local events. B. It is a widely recognized movement. C. It’s required in over 180 countries. D. Its influence has declined over time. B Joss Naylor, known as the “Iron Man” of fell running, was born in 1936 in Wasdale Head, Cumbria. Fell running is a sport of off-trail mountain racing, and Naylor became a symbol of endurance and determination. As a sheep farmer by profession, he became famous for his remarkable physical abilities. In 1971, Naylor became the sixth person to complete the Bob Graham Round, a 24-hour challenge covering 66 miles and 42 peaks in the Lake District. He did better than expected by climbing 61 peaks in just 23 hours and 37 minutes. The following year, he tackled 63 peaks, and in 1975, he reached 72 peaks, all under 24 hours. At age 50 in 1986, he completed the Wainwright Round, which involved climbing 214 peaks in seven days, setting a record that stood until 2014. Naylor’s feats were even more impressive considering the physical challenges he faced. Growing up on a farm, he suffered many injuries, starting with a punishment from his mother. At age 19, he had all the cartilage (软骨) removed from one knee, and by 22, he had two discs (椎间盘) removed. Doctors told him to avoid hard exercise and even gave him a special underwear to wear, which he ignored. Instead, he returned to his work as a sheep farmer. In the 1960 Wasdale Fell Race, Naylor hadn’t officially entered but joined in wearing his work boots. He quickly took the lead but fell down because of cramps (肌肉抽筋), finishing last. Despite this, he kept racing, improving with each race. In 1971, after completing the Bob Graham Round, he set a new record in the National Three Peaks Challenge, climbing the highest peaks in England, Scotland and Wales within 12 hours, a record that still stands. Naylor faced countless injuries over the years, including losing all his toenails and skin on his feet during a two-day race in 1976. He even lost a race in 1970 after being kicked by a cow. However, no amount of pain, whether from injuries or animals, could stop him. His reputation grew, and in June 2024, hundreds of fell runners honored him by running eight miles up the valley near his home to his funeral. 4. What can we conclude about Naylor’s early life? A. He was very good at school sports. B. He faced frequent physical injuries. C. He lacked proper running equipment. D. He struggled with farm responsibilities. 5. What can be inferred about Joss Naylor’s personality? A. He worried a lot about injuries. B. He gave up easily when he failed. C. He stayed strong and kept going. D. He thought little of tough exercises. 6. Why did Naylor’s physical achievements seem extraordinary? A. He competed in several countries. B. He achieved records despite injuries. C. He improved alternative medical treatments. D. He was the first to attempt the challenges. 7. What does the 2024 funeral event imply about Naylor? A. He lived far away from his community. B. He pursued recognition from the public. C. He continued competing until his last days. D. He earned runners’ respect and admiration. C Go to any movie theater or sports venue, and it’s obvious there’s an invisible bond that forms from laughing, crying, and simply feeling while brushing shoulders with others. Researches have long backed up this sense of connection, but some aspects of the phenomenon remained unclear. Now, a new study is offering insight. Writing in the journal Royal Society Open Science, Victor Chung of the École Normale Supérieure in France and his team reported how they examined the matter by inviting strangers to watch videos together in same sex pairs. Pairs of strangers watched three types of videos together: positive, negative, and neutral (中性的) with a curtain between them that was either open or closed. At the start of the experiment the researchers asked each participant whether they’d like to meet the other member of their pair again. After watching each video, participants reported their emotions and feelings of connectedness, and after seeing all three videos they were asked once again about their feelings towards the other participant. The results showed the emotional films generated stronger responses than the neutral film. Crucially, the team said participants’ feelings of connectedness within the pairs was boosted when they experienced more intense emotions. However, this was only the case when participants watched the films with the curtain between them open. The researchers said that whether or not the pairs could see each other had no impact on how positively or negatively they felt about the films. “We found that silently watching emotional films together with another individual is associated with social bonding, even when this person is a stranger and without any verbal (口头的) communication,” said Chung, the study author. The team added that the findings may help explain why people seek out group activities that generate strong emotions, “even participating in sad memorials that cause negative emotions.” In other words, because emotion bonds us, and humans have a fundamental desire to belong, we’re up for experiences one might think we’d naturally want to avoid. 8. What does “the phenomenon” in paragraph 1 refer to? A. Shared emotions bond people. B. Physical touch helps tackle stress. C. A chance encounter leads to a friendship. D. Entertainment is a crucial part of human life. 9. How did the researchers get their findings? A. By analyzing participants’ emotions. B. By comparing participants’ self-reports. C. By documenting participants’ video responses. D. By stimulating participants’ desire for interaction. 10. The study found that strong bonds were indeed created between pairs only when ______. A. they were familiar with each other B. they watched neutral films together C. they were aware of the presence of each other D. they could see each other while watching the films 11. What is presented in the last paragraph of the text? A. An interpretation of the findings. B. Potential implication of the findings. C. Supporting evidence for the findings. D. The underlying logic behind the findings. D This might sound impossibly old-fashioned, but I still like the idea that education is about learning: facts, skills, culture, analysis, inspiration. It’s supposed to make us better citizens. But over the last decade, the goal of learning has given way to grades and degrees. The unfortunate result has been inflation (膨胀) of both. They rise ever higher; learning doesn’t. To avoid discouraging students, some school districts did away with D and F grades. Grade-point averages have consistently risen even though scores on nationwide standardized exams such as the SAT have not. It’s not that I think standardized tests are the final word in measuring excellence. But when the gaps between grades and test scores are this wide and consistent, parents and the public should not be fooled. That’s true not just of low-achieving students. In a 2023 survey, educators said that close to half of students argue for higher grades than they earn, and 8 out of 10 teachers give in. It’s hard to blame them: A third or more of students and parents disturb them when they don’t. Unearned grades are damaging in many ways. Some students, armed with good grades, march off to college to find themselves in remedial (补习的) classes because they haven’t learned enough to take college-level courses. Employers complain that high school and even college graduates lack basic skills needed in the workforce. There are also complaints from college professors that the students aren’t even good at reading books. Grade inflation has followed students into college. Some professors hesitate to grade accurately because of student evaluations, which are often more negative for tough graders. Remember that about 70% of college instructors are adjunct (兼职) professors who have few job protections. Many Ivy League students have learned to cherry-pick easy-grading professors. Yet a Brown University study found that students taking courses from professors with stricter grading standards learned more. We have to ask ourselves as a society: Do we want college to be a place of intellectual growth — or a performative exercise in grade fishing? 12. What are parents fooled into thinking? A. SAT is the best measure of their children's abilities. B. The purpose of education is to make better citizens. C. Grade-point averages are vital for college application. D. Children’s high grades reflect their exceptional abilities. 13. What is a consequence of grade inflation? A. Employers favor students with higher degrees. B. Graduates fall short of employers’ expectations. C. Remedial classes become required courses in college. D. Low-achieving students find it harder to enter college. 14. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. Tough graders desire job security. B. Strict grading promotes real learning. C. Student evaluations fuel intellectual growth. D. Easy-grading professors start grade inflation. 15. What is the best title of the text? A. The game of scores B. Today, Grade A is for average C. The force behind grade inflation D.

She was an outstanding student, consistently topping her class in every subject. She was also a gifted pianist, her fingers dancing gracefully over the keys, creating the most beautiful melodies that could move people to tears. In contrast, I was just an ordinary kid. My grades were plain, and I had no particular talent that could make me stand out. Our parents, especially my mother, always compared me to Lily. This constant comparison made me feel less confident and inadequate. So, I forced myself to study for long hours, even when I was exhausted. I also took piano lessons, but my clumsy fingers could never produce the same magic as Lily’s. In high school, I joined the drama club, thinking that it might be a way to shine. I was so eager to prove myself that I took on every role that came my way, regardless of whether it suited me or not. I tried to parrot the acting styles of famous actors, but my performances always seemed forced and unnatural. The other club members started to give me strange looks, and I could sense their disappointment. I started to question myself: Why was I trying so hard to be someone I wasn’t? One day, while helping out in the school library, I accidentally discovered a book on photography. As I flipped through the pages, I was fascinated with the charming images. That night, I started to imagine myself behind the camera, capturing the beauty of the world around me. The next day, I used my savings to buy a second-hand camera. I began to explore the school campus, taking pictures of the old buildings, the blooming flowers, and the smiling faces of my classmates. I found I could photograph in a way that made the ordinary look extraordinary. 注意： (1) 续写词数应为150个左右; (2) 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 With my camera in hand, I began to gain some confidence. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The photography competition gave me more than an honor. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
