The truck pulled over, and a middle-aged man stepped out. Learning about their trouble, he introduced himself as Tom, a local farmer heading home from his night shift. He said the garage was just two miles away and offered to drive them there to fetch a spare tire. They finally arrived at the garage with the truck driver’s help. Tom helped Leo fix the flat tire skillfully. When Leo offered some money to express his gratitude, Tom refused. “I’ve been stuck on this road once before, and a stranger helped me out. I’m just passing the kindness along,” he said. Warmth filled the whole car as Leo’s family waved goodbye to Tom. They got back on the road, and little Mia even held her stuffed rabbit, saying she would also help others in need later. 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了Leo一家三口正从周末旅行返回途中，Leo选择了一条人迹罕至的乡间小路，行驶途中轮胎爆了，车上没有备胎，且Leo和妻子的手机没有信号，一家三口被困在孤寂的小路上，他打开汽车的双闪灯，希望有人路过能伸出援手，等了很久之后，一对车灯出现在远处。从冰冷的车内，他看见一辆卡车正缓缓驶近。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容可知，第一段可描写Leo拦车求助并决定跟随卡车司机去修理厂取备胎。 ②由第二段首句内容可知，第二段可描写卡车司机帮助Leo换好备胎并婉拒报酬，解释自己只是传递善意。 2.续写线索：拦车求助——决定一起去修理厂——换上备胎——婉拒报酬——传递善意 听力原文 1. 【原文】W: I’ve been trying to improve my physical fitness lately, because I found I was always out of breath when running.

Bringing waterproof sports shoes. D. Owning a set of lab measuring tools. 22. Which camp charges the lowest fee? A. Plant Gene Exploration. B. Wetland Wildlife Survey. C. Green Energy Practice. D. Healthy Food Science. 23. Where can you most probably read the text? A. A biology textbook. B. A school notice board. C. A travel magazine for adults. D. A daily newspaper’s food column. B Many people often criticize themselves non-stop after small mistakes in daily talks or work. They always focus on an awkward sentence, a short stop while speaking, or a not quite right comment. Even if the mistake is so small that it won’t change the final result, they keep thinking about that moment again and again in their heads. They blame (责备) themselves for not doing things perfectly. Most people believe thinking over things many times shows they are careful and that it will help them become better. Yet for these harmless small mistakes, too much thinking offers no new lessons. Usually people have already seen where they went wrong. When necessary, they have said sorry or given explanations to make up for what they did. Actually, repeatedly thinking about small mistakes is no longer helpful self-checking. It becomes useless self-blame. This comes from a strong habit of wanting everything perfect. It drives people to go for goals no common person can reach. What makes this circle of bad thoughts even more useless is the spotlight effect. People wrongly think others will see their little embarrassing moments and form bad opinions about them. In truth, most people spend most of their time worrying about their own weak points and mistakes. That uncomfortable moment that troubles you for days may escape other people’s memory very soon. Stopping this kind of bad thinking does not mean refusing to face your mistakes. You just need to know helpful self-correction is different from useless repeated thinking inside your mind. One simple rule: think about whether this mistake will count much in the future. If something must be done right away, solve it completely at once. If not, leave it behind. Real progress comes from giving up regrets that bring nothing good. Learning to treat yourself well and accept that no human is perfect is an important lesson as we grow up. 24. Why do people keep replaying their tiny mistakes? A. They hope to gain self-improvement. B. They are used to accepting imperfection. C. Their mistakes bring serious consequences. D. Others constantly remind them of the mistakes. 25. What is the author’s attitude to overthinking small mistakes? A. It does no good to personal growth. B. It helps form careful working habits. C. It is an effective way of self-reflection. D. It corrects people’s perfectionist tendency. 26. What can we infer from Paragraph 3? A. The spotlight effect helps build self-confidence. B. Others care little about our minor embarrassments. C. People enjoy judging others’ embarrassing behavior. D. Most people have no mistakes in their communication. 27. What does the author advise us to do in the last paragraph? A. Avoid making any mistakes in our daily life. B. Try our best to reach the standard of perfection. C. Tell useful correction from meaningless thinking. D. Keep thinking over mistakes until lessons are learned. C With artificial intelligence developing fast, modern AI models can complete all kinds of difficult tasks, from writing reports to making videos. As AI technology becomes more dependable, public worry is increasing. Many people fear that AI will take the place of human beings at work, and online searches for “AI unemployment” have hit a record high. Whether people will soon lose their jobs to AI has even turned into a popular discussion topic in big cities. Many experts hold the view that AI is already bringing about job losses. They refer to studies connecting AI automation with less need for translators, and mention tech companies which once used AI to replace customer-service workers. However, real-world economic data show something different. Official US statistics (数据) show employment for translation work has risen by 7% compared with last year. The tech company Klarna also changed its AI automation rules and kept its human workers. Some observers think young graduates’ comparatively higher unemployment rate proves an AI-caused job crisis (危机), because the basic knowledge-related jobs they take can be easily finished by AI. Yet this trend started back in 2009, much earlier than the birth of generative AI. Besides, graduates’ unemployment rate is still fairly low. More studies on white collar jobs — jobs thought to be easily influenced by AI — find no signs of job losses caused by AI. Instead, the percentage of white-collar jobs has gone up a little. Around the world, low unemployment rates and gradual pay increases in most developed countries also contradict the opinion that AI reduces job demand. Two main reasons account for this situation. To begin with, in spite of widespread reports, less than 10 percent of American businesses use AI in official production and service work. Secondly, most companies make use of AI to raise their workers’ work efficiency instead of firing staff. At present, there is no reason to worry about job losses brought by AI. 28. What is many people’s worry about AI’s fast development? A. AI will cause plenty of people to lose their jobs. B. AI will produce low-quality work automatically. C.

AI technology is developing at a surprising speed. D Most people believe young people live happier lives. Yet worldwide surveys from 149 countries show a surprising result: the old usually feel happier than young and middle-aged grown-ups. This unexpected discovery encouraged plenty of studies. One important reference is Jonathan Rauch’s 2018 book The Happiness Curve (曲线). Its data show happiness forms a U-shape: people aged 20 — 34 feel pretty happy; their sense of joy falls sharply during middle age. Then happiness rises slowly from age 51 to the mid-80s, and finally becomes higher than that of young adults. Psychologists separate happiness into two parts of “subjective well-being”. The first is short-term happiness, including sudden joy and good feelings. The second is life satisfaction, which means you feel your life is valuable and you have clear life goals. A 2022 research project by Karwetsky examined both kinds of happiness. It interviewed 1,597 healthy German people from 10 to 99 years old. Researchers divided these people into four age groups. The participants gave marks (from 0 to 100) for their real-time joy and overall life satisfaction, and talked about what they cared about most in life. Researchers also studied other influences such as health, partners, grandchildren and religious ideas. The key findings: only life satisfaction increases as people get older. Unlike young people, the old do not need quick pleasant feelings to feel satisfied with their lives. Having a partner, grandchildren and religious beliefs improves life satisfaction for people of all ages. Pressure from money problems lowers satisfaction, especially for those aged 50 — 69. Poor health reduces short-term happiness, but it does little harm to the old’s life satisfaction. The study proves the U-shaped happiness pattern. Researchers also put forward three practical ways to achieve long-term happiness: keep close personal connections; save enough money for later life; and live a meaningful life. In short, people become more satisfied with life as they age, even when they meet difficulties. 32. What does Jonathan Rauch agree with about happiness? A. It keeps going up all the way. B. It follows a U-shaped pattern. C. It keeps dropping as people grow older. D. It reaches its highest point in middle age. 33. What is the main purpose of Karwetsky’s research? A. To examine the two kinds of happiness. B. To explain the U-shaped happiness curve. C. To prove the existence of two kinds of happiness. D. To further explore the survey result on happiness. 34. Which age group suffers most from money pressure? A. Those aged 20 to 34. B. Those aged 35 to 49. C. Those aged 50 to 69. D. Those in the mid-80s. 35. What’s the best title for the passage? A. The U-shaped Curve of Happiness. B. The Two Kinds of Personal Happiness. C. The Key Factors Destroying Happiness. D. The Practical Ways of Solving Troubles. 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。 We often feel stressed and want to escape when facing piles of difficult work. Our brain naturally fears heavy and tough tasks, but we can train it to deal with pressure properly. 36 The “salami slice” method. When we are faced with a huge task, our brain will get nervous and refuse to take action. The smart way is to break the whole project into several tiny, manageable steps, just like eating pizza slice by slice instead of finishing it at one time. 37 Every time you complete a small part, you will gain a strong sense of achievement, which pushes you to move on without feeling worn out. The “2-minute” rule. This rule works in two ways. First, finish any tiny task that takes less than two minutes immediately. Second, trick your brain into starting tough work by promising yourself only two minutes of effort. 38 Once you cross the hardest starting point, working longer will become easy. 39 Human brains are sensitive to pleasant rewards. Dopamine, a special chemical inside our brain, creates motivation (动力) when we receive treats. After finishing a difficult task, you can reward yourself with a favorite snack or a five-minute relaxing break. These little treats can greatly lift your mood and drive you to finish the next task actively. Speak positive words to yourself. Everyone needs constant encouragement, especially when trapped in hard work. Repeat warm and powerful sentences such as “I can make it” or “I am fully capable of this challenge” to yourself. 40 Gradually, they fill you with confidence to keep moving forward. A. Take regular relaxing breaks. B. Build your own reward system. C. Here are four useful methods to deal with hard work. D. Small divided steps make huge jobs much less frightening. E. Starting a task is far more difficult than keeping on doing it. F. Many students fail to make progress due to endless heavy homework. G. Such positive self-talks help you clear away self-doubt during difficult tasks. 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。 In Sri Lanka, a startup is improving lives by offering tourists a unique adventure with tuk-tuks, three-wheeled vehicles.

Leo, his wife Elena, and their seven-year-old daughter Mia were driving back from a weekend trip. The GPS showed they still had two hours to go. Eager to get home earlier, Leo decided to take a less traveled country road as a shortcut. It was past ten at night. The road was narrow, with thick woods on both sides and no streetlights. Mia had fallen asleep in the back seat, holding her favorite stuffed rabbit tightly. Leo and Elena were chatting about the trip when suddenly — BANG. The car slid to one side suddenly. Leo struggled to pull over to the road shoulder. “A flat tire,” he said, his voice tense. He got out and saw the rear (后面的) left tire completely broken. “I don’t know how this happened. There’s no spare — we used it last month and never replaced it.” “Dial 911,” Elena reminded, but both their phones showed zero bars. Elena’s face turned pale. Trapped on the lonely country road, they had no choice but to look for a garage (修车店) nearby, yet the nearest town with a functional garage was at least fifteen miles away. The night air was cold, and the only sound was the wind. Mia woke up and started crying softly. “Daddy, I’m scared.” “It’s okay, sweetheart. We’ll be fine,” Leo said, but his voice gave away his worry. He turned on the car’s hazard lights (双闪), hoping that someone would pass by and offer them a helping hand. Twenty minutes passed. Then forty. No cars came. Elena wrapped her arms around Mia, trying to keep her calm. “What if nobody comes?” she whispered to Leo. He didn’t answer. He feared the worst: losing power, and Mia falling ill from the bitter cold on such a cold night. Just as hope began to fade, a pair of headlights appeared. From inside the cold car, he caught sight of a truck approaching in the distance. 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。 Hope instantly flooded Leo’s heart. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ They finally arrived at the garage with the truck driver’s help. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 高二英语试卷 第 1 页 共 8 页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
