It was discovered both by an Englishman and an American in the same year, but it was the American who first developed it on a large scale during the eighteen sixties. Everybody was excited by this new material because it was so cheap. Poor workers were able to buy plastic collars. These plastic collars were hard and uncomfortable, but they were easy to wash. The poor workers could clean them every evening with just soap and water. Poor mothers who had not been able to afford toys for their children were now able to buy inexpensive ones made of plastic. However, plastic has one serious fault. Some kinds of plastic can catch fire very easily, and when they do, a poisonous gas is produced. What’s worse, plastic takes a very long time to break down so it causes serious pollution. We now use the term white pollution to refer to plastic pollution. 二、阅读理解 （本题7.5分）What is New York Carnival (狂欢节)?

Born in Germany to Filipino parents, she grew up appreciating history in everyday European settings while also witnessing rapid change during visits to the Philippines. These early experiences planted a deep awareness in her that cultural memory can easily disappear if not actively protected. After high school, she moved to the U.S. to study architecture at the New York Institute of Technology. Though she didn’t initially plan to specialize in preservation, she found herself drawn to old buildings and the questions they raised: Why are they built this way? How can we respect history while making room for the future? Graduating during the 2008-09 financial crisis, she faced a difficult job market. Yet the struggle turned into an unexpected opportunity — exposing her to diverse design projects and the historic structures hidden throughout the city. This experience deepened her connection between cultural heritage and professional practice, leading her to earn a master’s degree in historic preservation from Boston Architectural College. Today, McCormick works on projects that bring history to life. One of her most meaningful assignments is the Smithsonian Castle, a 175-year-old building. Investigating its original materials and uncovering hidden details fills her with awe. “It’s like peeling back the layers of an onion,” she says, discovering stories that most people have never seen. Beyond hands-on work, McCormick is actively involved in professional organizations. She serves as secretary of a preservation technology group and co-chair of a historic resources committee. She also speaks for young professionals on Capitol Hill, advocating for supportive policies. She believes such participation benefits both individual careers and the future of preservation. For McCormick, preservation is far-reaching. It honors the cultures and histories that shaped her, and it creates spaces where people can connect, learn, and grow. 24．(2.5分)What influenced McCormick’s career awareness? A．Her college education in New York. B．Her family’s architectural background. C．Her childhood in Germany and the Philippines. D．Her meaningful work on the Smithsonian Castle. 25．(2.5分)How did the financial crisis affect McCormick’s career? A．She returned to the Philippines for further study. B．She gained a doctor’s degree in historic preservation. C．She repaired the damaged parts of the Smithsonian Castle. D．She encountered various design works and heritage buildings. 26．(2.5分)What can be inferred about McCormick from the last two paragraphs? A．She thinks personal identity has little to do with her career. B．She prefers hands-on work over organizational involvement. C．She considers professional engagement essential to the field’s future. D．She believes preservation is merely about protecting historic buildings. 27．(2.5分)Which of the following best describes McCormick? A．Passionate and dedicated. B．Curious and considerate. C．Courageous and thoughtful. D．Creative and committed. 【答案】24．C 25．D 26．C 27．A 【导语】本文主要讲述了Danielle McCormick受多元文化童年经历的影响走上建筑与历史保护的职业道路，介绍了她求学、求职的经历、代表性工作以及她对历史保护事业的看法。 【详解】24．细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Danielle McCormick’s path into architecture and historic preservation was shaped by a multicultural childhood. Born in Germany to Filipino parents, she grew up appreciating history in everyday European settings while also witnessing rapid change during visits to the Philippines.(Danielle McCormick走上建筑与历史保护的道路受到多元文化童年的影响。她出生在德国，父母是菲律宾人，在欧洲的日常生活中感受历史，同时回到菲律宾时见证当地飞速的变化。)”可知，她在德国和菲律宾度过的童年经历影响了她的职业认知。 25．细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Graduating during the 2008‑09 financial crisis, she faced a difficult job market. Yet the struggle turned into an unexpected opportunity — exposing her to diverse design projects and the historic structures hidden throughout the city.(她在2008‑2009年金融危机期间毕业，面临艰难的就业市场。然而这份困境变成意料之外的机遇，让她接触到各式各样的设计项目以及散落在城市各处的历史建筑。)”可知，金融危机让她接触到各种各样的设计作品和历史遗迹建筑。 26．推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的“She believes such participation benefits both individual careers and the future of preservation.(她相信这类参与既有益于个人职业发展，也有益于历史保护事业的未来。)”以及最后一段“For McCormick, preservation is far‑reaching. It honors the cultures and histories that shaped her, and it creates spaces where people can connect, learn, and grow.(对McCormick而言，历史保护意义深远。它致敬塑造了她的文化与历史，并创造出让人们交流、学习与成长的空间。)”可知，她既肯定专业参与的价值，又深刻理解历史保护的深远意义。由此可推知McCormick认为行业内的专业参与对该领域的未来十分重要。 27．推理判断题。根据第三段中的“This experience deepened her connection between cultural heritage and professional practice, leading her to earn a master’s degree in historic preservation from Boston Architectural College.(这段经历加深了她对文化遗产和职业实践之间联系的理解，促使她在波士顿建筑学院取得历史保护专业的硕士学位。)”以及第五段中的“She serves as secretary of a preservation technology group and co‑chair of a historic resources committee. She also speaks for young professionals on Capitol Hill, advocating for supportive policies.(她担任保护技术小组秘书以及历史资源委员会联合主席。她还在国会山代表青年专业人士发言，倡导出台扶持性政策。)”可知，即便面临金融危机带来的就业困境，她依旧深耕历史保护领域并取得硕士学位，还积极参与各类行业组织，为行业发展奔走发声。由此可推断，McCormick是一个满怀热忱且专注投入的人。 （本题10分）There are special moments in history when the world throws up a torrent of genius. Consider how, in a single century, the world saw Descartes, Leibniz, and Newton, not to mention Shakespeare, Milton, and Bach. Or consider how, in one generation, someone could hypothetically have met Bismarck, Queen Victoria, Marie Curie, and Edison. But all of this pales in comparison to what German philosopher Karl Jaspers called the “Axial Age”. It’s here that we find the very origins of why we think the way we do today. Modern humans have been around for roughly 250,000 years, and we’ve lived in complex societies for at least 6,000 years. Then, within a span of merely six centuries, there was a huge explosion of thought. From roughly 800 BC to 200 BC, all of the major civilizations produced incredible people with incredible ideas. In Greece, we saw the likes of Socrates, Archimedes, Hippocrates, Plato, and Aristotle. In the Middle East, we got Jewish prophets like Isiah and Ezekiel, as well as Zoroaster in Persia. In India, we got the Buddha and the writing of the Hindu Upanishads. And in China, Confucianism and Daoism came into their own, as well as the famous Sun Tzu. Seen up close, these thinkers can seem about as different as chalk and cheese. What could Lao Tzu’s Dao and Aristotle’s Eudaimonia have in common? How are Yahweh and Brahman similar? For Jaspers, when you zoom out a bit and see these thinkers as a whole, there are remarkable commonalities to be found. The greatest of these is the move toward what’s called “universalism”. Universal truths, universal religion, and universal morals. It’s the idea that there are certain values and rules that ought to apply to everyone, everywhere, no matter the circumstances. The Axial Age was an era where empires expanded outwards to become huge, both in terms of size and population. It was a time of the Persian and Carthaginian empires, the Roman Republic, and the Zhou Dynasty. This means several important things happened. 28．(2.5分)What do the underlined words “pales in comparison” in Paragraph 2 mean? A．Becomes more obvious. B．Becomes less important. C．Becomes less interesting. D．Becomes more influential. 29．(2.5分)What was the Axial Age mainly about? A．Great thoughts. B．Political campaigns. C．Scientific achievements. D．Geographic discoveries. 30．(2.5分)What does Jaspers try to stress about these great thinkers? A．The similarity of their ideas. B．The difference between them. C．The diversity of their thoughts. D．The significance of their contributions. 31．(2.5分)What will the author continue talking about in the paragraphs that follow? A．The problems with the Axial Age. B．The great influence of the Axial Age. C．The historical background of the Axial Age. D．The representative figures of the Axial Age. 【答案】28．B 29．A 30．A 31．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了“轴心时代”这一概念，其由德国哲学家卡尔·雅斯贝尔斯提出, 它指大约公元前800年至公元前200年之间的一段历史时期。这一时期是人类文明发展的一个重要阶段。 28．词义猜测题。根据第一段中“Consider how, in a single century, the world saw Descartes, Leibniz, and Newton, not to mention Shakespeare, Milton, and Bach. Or consider how, in one generation, someone could hypothetically have met Bismarck, Queen Victoria, Marie Curie, and Edison.(想想看，在短短一个世纪里，世界见证了笛卡尔、莱布尼茨和牛顿的诞生，更不用说莎士比亚、弥尔顿和巴赫了。或者想想看，在一代人的时间里，理论上一个人有可能见到俾斯麦、维多利亚女王、玛丽·居里和爱迪生。)”可知，在短短一世纪中可以见到诸多伟大的人物。根据划线词所在句子“But all of this pales in comparison to what German philosopher Karl Jaspers called the “Axial Age”(但所有这一切与德国哲学家卡尔·雅斯贝尔斯所称的“轴心时代”相比都……。)”以及下文“ It’s here that we find the very origins of why we think the way we do today.(正是在这里，我们找到了我们如今思维方式的真正起源。)”可知，前文与后文构成转折关系，作者对下文提到的“轴心时代”的人物评价更高。也就是说, 第一段提到的这些人物比起“轴心时代”的先哲们就相形见绌了。“pales in comparison”在此处的意思是“与……相比显得微不足道；与……相比变得不那么重要”。选项B“Becomes less important.(变得不那么重要)”符合语境。故选B。 29．细节理解题。根据第三段中“Then, within a span of merely six centuries, there was a huge explosion of thought. From roughly 800 BC to 200 BC, all of the major civilizations produced incredible people with incredible ideas.(然后，在仅仅六个世纪的时间里，思想发生了巨大的爆发。从大约公元前800年到公元前200年，所有主要文明都涌现出了拥有非凡思想的不凡人物。)”可知，“轴心时代”的最大特点是诞生了很多伟大先哲以及他们的杰出思想。故选A。 30．细节理解题。根据第五段“Seen up close, these thinkers can seem about as different as chalk and cheese. What could Lao Tzu's Dao and Aristotle's Eudaimonia have in common? How are Yahweh and Brahman similar? For Jaspers, when you zoom out a bit and see these thinkers as a whole, there are remarkable commonalities to be found. (从近距离看，这些思想家的思想似乎大相径庭。老子的“道”和亚里士多德的“幸福观”有什么共同之处？耶和华和梵天有何相似之处？对于雅斯贝尔斯来说，当你稍微拉远一点距离，把这些思想家看作一个整体时，就会发现它们有显著的共同之处。)”可知，雅斯贝尔斯试图强调这些伟大思想家之间的相似性。故选A。 31．推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“The Axial Age was an era where empires expanded outwards to become huge, both in terms of size and population. It was a time of the Persian and Carthaginian empires, the Roman Republic, and the Zhou Dynasty. This means several important things happened. (轴心时代是一个帝国在面积和人口上都向外扩张成为巨大帝国的时代。这是波斯帝国、迦太基帝国、罗马共和国和周朝的时代。这意味着发生了几件重要的事情。)”可知，本段介绍了轴心时代的历史背景，并暗示接下来将讲述这个时代的重要事件。因此，可以推断出作者接下来将继续讲述轴心时代的历史背景。选项C“The historical background of the Axial Age.(轴心时代的历史背景)”符合题意。故选C。 （本题10分）From “gig-tripping” to “travel dupes” to “hush trips,” the number of new travel trends is seemingly endless. But perhaps the most appealing concept in the tourism space of late is the “sleepcation”. So much of travel these days seems to involve running ourselves ragged trying to hit every amazing attraction we see on TikTok and Instagram. Sleepcations, however, take the polar opposite approach to vacation. According to Skyscanner’s 2024 travel trends report, nearly 50% of American travelers surveyed say they are more willing to take a vacation with the intention to get a good night or a few good nights of sleep now compared to a few years ago. The research also showed that sleeping topped the list of U. S. travelers’ main activities for their next vacation, outranking shopping, nightlife and wildlife spotting. While some wellness resorts have been focusing on sleep for years, now more and more resorts and hotels, from luxury to lifestyle and even budget-friendly properties, are making sure that sleep is at the forefront of a stay. The Malibu Beach Inn in Southern California features two designated “sleep suites”, and the Four Seasons Resort Hualalai on Hawaii’s Big Island offers an 80-minute “sweet dreams” massage treatment meant to promote a good night’s rest. Virgin Hotels Dallas offers blackout curtains in each room and bedtime amenities(便利设施)like bath bombs and relaxation spray. Although these amenities and services might seem like unnecessary luxuries, the reality is that doing whatever you can to prioritize sleep is quite important. “Most people don’t get the recommended seven to nine hours of sleep per night,” noted Danielle Desir Corbett, a luxury travel and personal finance expert. “Over time, this ‘sleep debt’ can have serious health implications, affecting cognitive(认知的)function, mood, weight, and immune systems. Sleep is even linked to chronic diseases such as diabetes, obesity and hypertension. Sleepcations focus on rest and rejuvenation and can be a powerful tool in preventing health issues.” 32．(2.5分)What did Skyscanner’s 2024 travel trends report find? A．Travelers are more mindful of their sleep health. B．The travelers’ activities are more and more varied. C．Only a few travelers are interested in sleep tourism. D．Sleep is good for our physical and mental wellness. 33．(2.5分)Why does the author mention the hotels in Paragraph 3? A．To show us the luxuries of the hotels. B．To emphasize the importance of sleep. C．To prove the popularity of sleepcation. D．To make an advertisement for the hotels. 34．(2.5分)What is Danielle Desir Corbett’s attitude towards sleepcation? A．Unclear. B．Doubtful. C．Opposed. D．Approving. 35．(2.5分)What is the best title for the text? A．Sleepcation: Enrich Your Vacation Activities B．Sleepcation: Be an Important Part of Your Life C．Sleepcation: Boost the Development of Tourism D．Sleepcation: Get a Vacation from Your Vacation 【答案】32．A 33．C 34．D 35．D 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍睡眠度假概念并建议我们应该在度假中考虑睡眠问题。 【详解】32．细节理解题。由文章第二段“According to Skyscanner’s 2024 travel trends report, nearly 50% of American travelers surveyed say they are more willing to take a vacation with the intention to get a good night or a few good nights of sleep now compared to a few years ago. (根据Skyscanner的2024年旅游趋势报告，与几年前相比，近50%的受访美国游客表示，他们现在更愿意度假，目的是睡个好觉。)”可知，旅行者更注意自己的睡眠健康。故选A项。 33．推理判断题。由文章第三段“While some wellness resorts have been focusing on sleep for years, now more and more resorts and hotels, from luxury to lifestyle and even budget-friendly properties, are making sure that sleep is at the forefront of a stay.(虽然一些健康度假村多年来一直专注于睡眠，但现在越来越多的度假村和酒店，从豪华到生活方式，甚至是经济实惠的酒店，都在确保睡眠是住宿的首要内容。)”可知，作者提到旅馆是为了证明睡眠度假的流行。故选C项。 34．推理判断题。由文章最后一段“Sleepcations focus on rest and rejuvenation and can be a powerful tool in preventing health issues.(睡眠度假侧重于休息和恢复活力，是预防健康问题的有力工具。)”可知，Danielle Desir Corbett是赞成睡眠度假的。故选D项。 35．主旨大意题。由文章第一段“So much of travel these days seems to involve running ourselves ragged trying to hit every amazing attraction we see on TikTok and Instagram. Sleepcations, however, take the polar opposite approach to vacation.(这些天的大部分旅行似乎都是为了达到我们在TikTok和Instagram上看到的每一个令人惊叹的景点而疲惫不堪。然而，睡眠度假对度假采取了截然相反的方式。)”以及下文可知，文章主要介绍睡眠度假概念并建议我们应该在度假中考虑睡眠问题。所以D项Sleepcation: Get a Vacation from Your Vacation(睡眠度假：从度假中获得假期休息)符合语境。故选D项。 （本题12.5分）Education is the best tool when it comes to protecting our cultural heritage. It assists us in understanding the importance of conserving aspects of human life. 36(2.5分) Teaching Everyone why Heritage Matters. Suppose society did not know why specific structures or specific dances were essential. This is where education comes into play. 37(2.5分) Thus, we can learn about the history of these treasures. This knowledge makes people appreciate their cultures since they can identify what makes them different from other regions and have the urge to protect them. Bringing Heritage into Schools. Have you ever been in a history or an art class, and suddenly the teacher starts talking about a specific building or painting? That is because schools are introducing heritage into their courses. This way, students become familiar with history and craft culture. 38(2.5分) 39(2.5分) It is not enough to know why preserving our heritage is necessary; it is also necessary to know how to do it correctly. This is where training programs come in to help. They educate those who handle old structures or artifacts (人工制品) on maintaining them in their excellent state. These programs range from architects to museum curators (负责人), and they equip them with the tools to protect our heritage for the future. 40(2.5分) Therefore, it tells us why our cultural heritages are so valuable, integrates (融入) heritage into education, promotes the interactions between professionals, and enables communities to act.

It assists us in understanding the importance of conserving aspects of human life. (教育是保护我们文化遗产的最佳工具。它帮助我们理解保护人类生活各个方面的重要性。)”和下文“Teaching Everyone why Heritage Matters. (教导每个人为什么遗产很重要。)”可知，上文强调教育对保护文化遗产的重要性，下文强调教育的具体作用，本空应进一步阐述教育在保护遗产方面的如何发挥具体作用。G选项“Let us look at how education plays a vital role in preserving heritage.

Jan Mayen wasn’t on our itinerary (行程), and due to its 45 location and often unpredictable weather, very few people ever 46 the island. I knew the 47 weren’t ideal, but I wasn’t going to let that stop me. In fact, the possibility of 48 adventures was one of the reasons I chose this small-ship cruise.

Even the fierce wind and rain couldn’t 51 our excitement as we 52 our way to the beach and hiked to a viewpoint, pausing to photograph little purple flowers 53 the volcanic rocks.

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’s 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) 2 / 2 2 / 2 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $听力考试正式开始。Can you tell me something about the N.

Listen to the next question. This history of plastic is no longer than you might expect. In fact, the first man made plastic was made over a hundred years ago. IT was discovered both by an englishman and an american in the same year. But IT was the american who first developed on a large scale during the eighteen sixties. Everybody was excited by this new material because I was so cheap. Poor workers were to buy plastic colors. These plastic colors were hard and uncomfortable, but they were easy to wash. The poor workers could clean them every evening with just soaking water. Poor mothers who had not been able to afford toys for their children are now able to buy inexpensive ones made of plastic. However, plastic has one serious faut. Some kinds of plastic can catch fire very easily. And when they do, a poisonous gas is produced. What's worse, plastic takes a very long time to break down. So IT causes serious pollution. We now use the term White pollution to refer to plastic pollution. This history of plastic is no longer than you might expect.

Born in Germany to Filipino parents, she grew up appreciating history in everyday European settings while also witnessing rapid change during visits to the Philippines. These early experiences planted a deep awareness in her that cultural memory can easily disappear if not actively protected. After high school, she moved to the U.S. to study architecture at the New York Institute of Technology. Though she didn’t initially plan to specialize in preservation, she found herself drawn to old buildings and the questions they raised: Why are they built this way? How can we respect history while making room for the future? Graduating during the 2008-09 financial crisis, she faced a difficult job market. Yet the struggle turned into an unexpected opportunity — exposing her to diverse design projects and the historic structures hidden throughout the city. This experience deepened her connection between cultural heritage and professional practice, leading her to earn a master’s degree in historic preservation from Boston Architectural College. Today, McCormick works on projects that bring history to life. One of her most meaningful assignments is the Smithsonian Castle, a 175-year-old building. Investigating its original materials and uncovering hidden details fills her with awe. “It’s like peeling back the layers of an onion,” she says, discovering stories that most people have never seen. Beyond hands-on work, McCormick is actively involved in professional organizations. She serves as secretary of a preservation technology group and co-chair of a historic resources committee. She also speaks for young professionals on Capitol Hill, advocating for supportive policies. She believes such participation benefits both individual careers and the future of preservation. For McCormick, preservation is far-reaching. It honors the cultures and histories that shaped her, and it creates spaces where people can connect, learn, and grow. 24．(2.5分)What influenced McCormick’s career awareness? A．Her college education in New York. B．Her family’s architectural background. C．Her childhood in Germany and the Philippines. D．Her meaningful work on the Smithsonian Castle. 25．(2.5分)How did the financial crisis affect McCormick’s career? A．She returned to the Philippines for further study. B．She gained a doctor’s degree in historic preservation. C．She repaired the damaged parts of the Smithsonian Castle. D．She encountered various design works and heritage buildings. 26．(2.5分)What can be inferred about McCormick from the last two paragraphs? A．She thinks personal identity has little to do with her career. B．She prefers hands-on work over organizational involvement. C．She considers professional engagement essential to the field’s future. D．She believes preservation is merely about protecting historic buildings. 27．(2.5分)Which of the following best describes McCormick? A．Passionate and dedicated. B．Curious and considerate. C．Courageous and thoughtful. D．Creative and committed. （本题10分）There are special moments in history when the world throws up a torrent of genius. Consider how, in a single century, the world saw Descartes, Leibniz, and Newton, not to mention Shakespeare, Milton, and Bach. Or consider how, in one generation, someone could hypothetically have met Bismarck, Queen Victoria, Marie Curie, and Edison. But all of this pales in comparison to what German philosopher Karl Jaspers called the “Axial Age”. It’s here that we find the very origins of why we think the way we do today. Modern humans have been around for roughly 250,000 years, and we’ve lived in complex societies for at least 6,000 years. Then, within a span of merely six centuries, there was a huge explosion of thought. From roughly 800 BC to 200 BC, all of the major civilizations produced incredible people with incredible ideas. In Greece, we saw the likes of Socrates, Archimedes, Hippocrates, Plato, and Aristotle. In the Middle East, we got Jewish prophets like Isiah and Ezekiel, as well as Zoroaster in Persia. In India, we got the Buddha and the writing of the Hindu Upanishads. And in China, Confucianism and Daoism came into their own, as well as the famous Sun Tzu. Seen up close, these thinkers can seem about as different as chalk and cheese. What could Lao Tzu’s Dao and Aristotle’s Eudaimonia have in common? How are Yahweh and Brahman similar? For Jaspers, when you zoom out a bit and see these thinkers as a whole, there are remarkable commonalities to be found. The greatest of these is the move toward what’s called “universalism”. Universal truths, universal religion, and universal morals. It’s the idea that there are certain values and rules that ought to apply to everyone, everywhere, no matter the circumstances. The Axial Age was an era where empires expanded outwards to become huge, both in terms of size and population. It was a time of the Persian and Carthaginian empires, the Roman Republic, and the Zhou Dynasty. This means several important things happened. 28．(2.5分)What do the underlined words “pales in comparison” in Paragraph 2 mean? A．Becomes more obvious. B．Becomes less important. C．Becomes less interesting. D．Becomes more influential. 29．(2.5分)What was the Axial Age mainly about? A．Great thoughts. B．Political campaigns. C．Scientific achievements. D．Geographic discoveries. 30．(2.5分)What does Jaspers try to stress about these great thinkers? A．The similarity of their ideas. B．The difference between them. C．The diversity of their thoughts. D．The significance of their contributions. 31．(2.5分)What will the author continue talking about in the paragraphs that follow? A．The problems with the Axial Age. B．The great influence of the Axial Age. C．The historical background of the Axial Age. D．The representative figures of the Axial Age. （本题10分）From “gig-tripping” to “travel dupes” to “hush trips,” the number of new travel trends is seemingly endless. But perhaps the most appealing concept in the tourism space of late is the “sleepcation”. So much of travel these days seems to involve running ourselves ragged trying to hit every amazing attraction we see on TikTok and Instagram. Sleepcations, however, take the polar opposite approach to vacation. According to Skyscanner’s 2024 travel trends report, nearly 50% of American travelers surveyed say they are more willing to take a vacation with the intention to get a good night or a few good nights of sleep now compared to a few years ago. The research also showed that sleeping topped the list of U. S. travelers’ main activities for their next vacation, outranking shopping, nightlife and wildlife spotting. While some wellness resorts have been focusing on sleep for years, now more and more resorts and hotels, from luxury to lifestyle and even budget-friendly properties, are making sure that sleep is at the forefront of a stay. The Malibu Beach Inn in Southern California features two designated “sleep suites”, and the Four Seasons Resort Hualalai on Hawaii’s Big Island offers an 80-minute “sweet dreams” massage treatment meant to promote a good night’s rest. Virgin Hotels Dallas offers blackout curtains in each room and bedtime amenities(便利设施)like bath bombs and relaxation spray. Although these amenities and services might seem like unnecessary luxuries, the reality is that doing whatever you can to prioritize sleep is quite important. “Most people don’t get the recommended seven to nine hours of sleep per night,” noted Danielle Desir Corbett, a luxury travel and personal finance expert. “Over time, this ‘sleep debt’ can have serious health implications, affecting cognitive(认知的)function, mood, weight, and immune systems. Sleep is even linked to chronic diseases such as diabetes, obesity and hypertension. Sleepcations focus on rest and rejuvenation and can be a powerful tool in preventing health issues.” 32．(2.5分)What did Skyscanner’s 2024 travel trends report find? A．Travelers are more mindful of their sleep health. B．The travelers’ activities are more and more varied. C．Only a few travelers are interested in sleep tourism. D．Sleep is good for our physical and mental wellness. 33．(2.5分)Why does the author mention the hotels in Paragraph 3? A．To show us the luxuries of the hotels. B．To emphasize the importance of sleep. C．To prove the popularity of sleepcation. D．To make an advertisement for the hotels. 34．(2.5分)What is Danielle Desir Corbett’s attitude towards sleepcation? A．Unclear. B．Doubtful. C．Opposed. D．Approving. 35．(2.5分)What is the best title for the text? A．Sleepcation: Enrich Your Vacation Activities B．Sleepcation: Be an Important Part of Your Life C．Sleepcation: Boost the Development of Tourism D．Sleepcation: Get a Vacation from Your Vacation （本题12.5分）Education is the best tool when it comes to protecting our cultural heritage. It assists us in understanding the importance of conserving aspects of human life. 36(2.5分) Teaching Everyone why Heritage Matters. Suppose society did not know why specific structures or specific dances were essential. This is where education comes into play. 37(2.5分) Thus, we can learn about the history of these treasures. This knowledge makes people appreciate their cultures since they can identify what makes them different from other regions and have the urge to protect them. Bringing Heritage into Schools. Have you ever been in a history or an art class, and suddenly the teacher starts talking about a specific building or painting? That is because schools are introducing heritage into their courses. This way, students become familiar with history and craft culture. 38(2.5分) 39(2.5分) It is not enough to know why preserving our heritage is necessary; it is also necessary to know how to do it correctly. This is where training programs come in to help. They educate those who handle old structures or artifacts (人工制品) on maintaining them in their excellent state. These programs range from architects to museum curators (负责人), and they equip them with the tools to protect our heritage for the future. 40(2.5分) Therefore, it tells us why our cultural heritages are so valuable, integrates (融入) heritage into education, promotes the interactions between professionals, and enables communities to act. A．Training people to be heritage heroes. B．Understanding the ways of preserving heritage. C．They also learn the value of preserving such items. D．Education in schools teaches us to respect cultural heritage. E．It can inform everyone about the importance of cultural heritage. F．In essence, education is the best tool and protector of our heritage. G．Let us look at how education plays a vital role in preserving heritage. 三、完形填空 （本题15分）As a traveler with a disability, I have always avoided cruises. This expedition-style small-ship cruise changed my mind. When our expedition leader 41 we would make a Zodiac (卓迪船) 42 at Jan Mayen, a tiny island in the Arctic Ocean, I stepped out onto my balcony aboard our ship, 43 to find clear skies and calm seas. 44 , I was met with a gust of wet wind and a view of mist-covered mountains in the distance. Jan Mayen wasn’t on our itinerary (行程), and due to its 45 location and often unpredictable weather, very few people ever 46 the island. I knew the 47 weren’t ideal, but I wasn’t going to let that stop me. In fact, the possibility of 48 adventures was one of the reasons I chose this small-ship cruise. So I 49 joined my shipmates in the mud room, where we put on waterproof clothes and life jackets before hopping in the Zodiacs for a bumpy 50 to a black-sand beach. Even the fierce wind and rain couldn’t 51 our excitement as we 52 our way to the beach and hiked to a viewpoint, pausing to photograph little purple flowers 53 the volcanic rocks. Our visit there wasn’t about what we could do or see. It was an opportunity to just be—to exist in a brief 54 on a tiny, often inaccessible, volcanic rock in the Arctic. And that’s something I never thought I’d 55 in my lifetime. 41．(1分)A．knew B．announced C．remembered D．replied 42．(1分)A．living B．return C．landing D．mark 43．(1分)A．failing B．choosing C．struggling D．hoping 44．(1分)A．Instead B．Finally C．Thus D．Otherwise 45．(1分)A．strategic B．remote C．favorable D．central 46．(1分)A．set foot on B．fell victim to C．kept track of D．gained control of 47．(1分)A．constructions B．conditions C．descriptions D．distributions 48．(1分)A．unwanted B．unsecured C．unplanned D．unauthorized 49．(1分)A．mistakenly B．nervously C．routinely D．happily 50．(1分)A．walk B．flight C．ride D．path 51．(1分)A．dampen B．share C．convey D．fuel 52．(1分)A．changed B．lost C．fought D．made 53．(1分)A．in response to B．in view of C．in contrast to D．in defense of 54．(1分)A．moment B．experiment C．glance D．ceremony 55．(1分)A．value B．need C．miss D．experience 四、语法填空 （本题15分）阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 When the Library Cave, known as Cave 17 from the Mogao Cave Complex at Dunhuang, China, was opened in 1900, several tons of manuscripts (手稿) scrolls, booklets and paintings on silk and paper were found literally stuffed into it. These 56(1.5分) (extreme) valuable writings were collected between 57(1.5分) 9th and 10th centuries CE, by Tang and Song Dynasty Buddhist monks who carved out the cave and then filled it 58(1.5分) ancient and current manuscripts on topics ranging from religion and philosophy, history and mathematics, to folk songs and dance. Cave 17 is only one of the 735 human-made 59(1.5分) (cave) called Mogao Grottoes, 60(1.5分) were dug into a loess cliff about 15 miles southeast of the town of Dunhuang in Gansu Province. Dunhuang’s long and glorious history reflects 61(1.5分) (it) significance as a center of 62(1.5分) (culture) and religious exchange. These caves 63(1.5分) (dig) and maintained by Buddhist monks from 366 CE and were sealed and hidden about a thousand years ago. It was not until 1900 that they were rediscovered. The Dunhuang Academy was set up in China in the 1980s, 64(1.5分) (aim) to collect and preserve the manuscripts; the International Dunhuang Project (IDP) was formed in 1994 to bring the international scholars together 65(1.5分) (work) jointly on the collections.

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’s 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. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 2 / 2 2 / 2 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
