Selected from authoritative lists like the Guardian’s “100 Best Books of the 21st Century” and the New York Times’ annual recommendations, these three works offer unique windows into history, humanity, and imagination. Gilead by Marilynne Robinson First on the list is this Pulitzer Prize-winning novel that reads like a heartfelt letter. Written from the perspective of an aging preacher, John Ames, the book reflects on his family’s journey through American history — from the Civil War to the 1950s. Ames shares stories of love, loss, and faith with his young son, weaving personal memories into a vivid tapestry of a nation’s evolution. With its lyrical prose and deep moral reflections, Gilead has earned a Douban rating of 8.0, captivating readers with its emotional resonance. Secondhand Time by Svetlana Alexievich Next is a Nobel Prize-winning work of nonfiction. Through intimate oral interviews, the Belarusian author documents the lives of ordinary people during the chaotic transition of post-Soviet Russia (1991-2012). These firsthand accounts reveal the hopes, struggles, and despair of those caught in historical unrest, offering a raw view of a society in turmoil. Recognized for its powerful storytelling, the book boasts an impressive 8.8 rating on Douban, standing as a testament to the resilience of the human spirit. Never Let Me Go by Kazuo Ishiguro Completing the trio is this thought-provoking dystopian novel. Shortlisted for the Booker Prize, this work follows three friends growing up in a seemingly idyllic boarding school, uncovering a dark secret about their existence. Ishiguro masterfully blends science fiction with profound questions about identity, love, and mortality, creating a narrative that lingers in the mind long after the final page. With a Douban rating of 8.7, it has become a modern classic beloved by readers worldwide. Each of these books goes beyond genres and time. Whether you seek historical wisdom, emotional truth, or speculative insight, they promise a journey that will expand your horizons and touch your soul. 21．(2.5分)Which of the following is the notable feature of Gilead? A．Its detailed description of war scenes. B．Its exploration of dystopian themes. C．Its focus on post-Soviet evolution. D．Its presentation as a preacher’s letter to his son. 22．(2.5分)We can infer from the passage that Secondhand Time is ________. A．a fictional story about famous people B．a true record of social changes C．a book full of imaginary experiences D．a work criticizing modern society 23．(2.5分)What do the three books have in common? A．They all won the Booker Prize. B．They are all set in the 21st century. C．They offer profound insights into human experiences. D．They are based on the authors’ personal lives. （本题10分）Like everybody else in America, I was looking for a side job that can make a few extra dollars, so I can afford my favorite things. So I read all the articles about taking surveys (for pennies) or becoming a remote receptionist. I even briefly considered delivering pizzas, but I realized I’d be fired after the first night for picking all the sausages off customers’ pizzas and leaving just the bar e dough (面团). I leafed through one of my four copies of Infinite Jest, and an idea slowly formed. I could sell books. My books. No, not books I’ve actually written, but all of the hundreds of books I’ve compulsively purchased over the years and never quite gotten around to. Since all roads lead to Amazon, I requested permission to join Amazon Marketplace. After a certain age, you forget about the person you used to be. Apparently, I was a person who thought deep thoughts. Part of me wishes I was still that person, someone with intellectual curiosity. But I forgot about all that when I discovered that my copy of Steve Martin’s 1977 masterpiece Cruel Shoes is worth $35．Should I hang onto it? It can only appreciate in value, right? What if Steve Martin dies? The price will go through the roof. A year has gone by. I’ve added 10 books to the “sell” pile, and only after the kind of painful internal debate usually reserved for buying a new home. And even though I owned three copies of The Gunslinger, I felt ambivalent about letting it go. It was a book, and I loved it. I loved the memories of where I was in my life when I first bought it at a mall bookstore. The mall is gone. And now the book is. But each book reminds me that authors live forever through their work. Each book, too, reminds me of a younger me, and I don’t want to let that younger me go. So, please, whatever you do, don’t buy my books. 24．(2.5分)Why did the author join Amazon Marketplace? A．To get rid of boring daily life. B．To collect secondhand books. C．To get some extra income. D．To sell the books he wrote. 25．(2.5分)What kind of person did the author use to be? A．Someone thirsty for knowledge. B．Someone with unrealistic ideas. C．Someone addicted to the Internet. D．Someone expert at doing business. 26．(2.5分)What does the underlined word “ambivalent” in Paragraph 6 probably mean? A．Relieved. B．Hesitant. C．Pleased. D．Nervous. 27．(2.5分)Which word can best describe the author? A．Greedy. B．Knowledgeable. C．Humorous. D．Considerate. （本题10分）“There was once a town in the heart of America where all life seemed to live in harmony with its surroundings.” This is the surprising first sentence of Rachel Carson’s Silent Spring, the 1962 book that arguably sparked the modern environmental movement. While most people have heard of Silent Spring, many fewer have actually read it. It is now largely classified as textbooks or other educational contexts. That is why its first sentence is so surprising: Silent Spring does not read like a textbook. It begins with a fable and is filled with beautiful, emotional writing and passion throughout. Carson raised a public outcry against DDT not just with her research on its harmful effects, but with the vivid descriptions, powerful arguments, and poetic language that lift Silent Spring into the world of other great works of American literature. The poetry of Carson’s opening continues into the rest of Silent Spring. There is poetic language throughout the book; even Carson’s chapter titles such as “Earth’s Green Mantle (披风)” and “Through a Narrow Window” are not what we might expect for a scientific work. But the places where Carson’s artistry is more apparent are in her chapter introductions. She weaves her most vivid images in the first few paragraphs of each chapter, creating a more realistic experience for the reader before moving into more complex scientific writing. While she’s good at translating the beauty of the natural world, the powerful emotions Carson raises with this imagery are rarely rosy. Not only is Silent Spring a descriptive scientific work and a great work of literature — it is also an accusation. She uses the word “evil” 10 times, the word “suffer” 35 times, and different forms of the word “death” a total of 213 times. With this landmark book, Carson gracefully established herself as both an important figure of modern American literature and a pioneer of the 20th century’s environmental movement. Her words are effective and convincing, and more so because they are beautiful. Silent Spring is clearly a tapestry (挂毯) patiently woven — with a cause worth fighting for. 28．(2.5分)What is the opening of Silent Spring like? A．It clearly reveals its writing purpose. B．It directly presents Carson’s arguments. C．It starts with quotes from victims of pollution. D．It reads more like a fable than a science book. 29．(2.5分)Which part of Silent Spring best shows Carson’s literary skill? A．The opening. B．The chapter titles. C．The chapter introductions. D．The conclusion. 30．(2.5分)Why did Carson use emotional words like “death” repeatedly? A．To make her writing less technical. B．To highlight the urgency of her warning. C．To express her pessimism about the future. D．To contrast nature’s beauty with human destruction. 31．(2.5分)What’s the main focus of the passage? A．Why Silent Spring still matters. B．How powerful languages can be. C．Why Silent Spring is both science and literature. D．What role Carson plays in environmental history. （本题10分）When I first came across All the Water in the World by Eiren Caffall, I wasn’t quite sure what to expect. A doomsday-after story centered around a young girl’s survival journey? Interesting! But what really drew me in was the description of the destruction caused by climate change and the moving exploration of human courage. Little did I know, it would transform my understanding of both hope and loss. Caffall’s writing is nothing short of amazing. Her vivid description brought to life the terrifying beauty of a world now more watery than land. Through Nonie’s eyes, the strangeness of floating through a drowned city is both amazing and frightening. The pictures of empty buildings under dark water painted a dream-like scene that stayed in my mind long after I set the book down. The characters are rich and caring, each showing a fierce love for one another that adds warmth to the dangerous journey they start. Nonie’s early wisdom and her relationship with water indicate the connection people can have with nature, even when faced with its destructive side. It’s a narrative that speaks deeply, especially in today’s world. Reflecting on my reading experience, I can confidently say that All the Water in the World is a narrative that stays with you — filled with beauty and terror, hope and despair. Readers who enjoy stories similar to Station Eleven or The Light Pirate will undoubtedly find themselves attracted by Caffall’s delicate yet powerful storytelling. In conclusion, if you’re searching for a meaningful yet exciting book that explores survival and humanity’s fragile relationship with the environment, this book calls out to you. It’s a “don’t miss” doomsday-after story that will inspire long after you reach the final page. 32．(2.5分)What is Paragraph 2 mainly about? A．The author’s writing style. B．The development of the plot. C．The background of the story. D．The struggles of the character. 33．(2.5分)What can be inferred about the characters’ journey in Paragraph 3? A．It is quite adventurous but also warm. B．It goes smoothly due to Nonie’s wisdom. C．It improves characters’ ability to deal with flood. D．It promotes the relation between human and nature. 34．(2.5分)Why does the author mention Station Eleven and The Light Pirate? A．To compare the differences. B．To attract potential readers. C．To question their popularity. D．To criticize their disadvantages. 35．(2.5分)What is the author’s attitude towards the book? A．Unclear. B．Doubtful. C．Objective. D．Supportive. （本题12.5分）When I spied an article about the benefits of switching one’s phone to a black-and-white color mode, I figured I’d give it a shot. 36(2.5分) The moment I switched, I no longer felt an urgent need to look at my iPhone — an urge that I hadn’t known was so strong until it was gone. I experienced a full-bodied sense of relief. I would leave my phone in my room when I walked from my home office to the kitchen. 37(2.5分) When I did check it, I put it down quickly as soon as the task was done. The number of hours I spent per day on the phone dropped by 40 percent, to an average of four hours and 40 minutes per day — still embarrassingly high, but not the dizzying eight-plus hours I was averaging. 38(2.5分) Because the answer and reject buttons on my phone are both gray, I’ll sometimes hang up on a call I want to answer. 39(2.5分) Games weren’t as fun, so I started playing them on my tablet and discovered that I liked the separation between work and play that it enforced: smartphone for boring stuff; tablet for fun. Two and a half months into this journey, I’m pretty sure I’ll never go back to color on my phone. To be honest, it made me more aware and more appreciative of the color and beauty in real life. Now that I am no longer turning to my phone for fun, I find myself seeking it out in other ways — reading more books, planning more gatherings with friends, hanging out with my kids. 40(2.5分) A．It was hard at first. B．The result was shocking. C．And those are things I do want to be addicted to. D．When I return to color, my eyes are no longer used to it. E．I would forget to pick it up for hours instead of minutes. F．Fortunately, these days, nobody minds if you just ring them back. G．There are some small downsides to my black-and-white online life. 三、完形填空 （本题15分）As a child in a small town in the Northeast U.S., spring didn’t mean much to me. We had a week off from school, but it was just a 41 , not a celebration of spring. For the kids in our neighborhood, the arrival of spring was a 42 . We only cared about winter for skating, and summer for the beach. Spring and autumn were just in-between times, waiting for the 43 to start again. Eventually, I started to 44 spring more, especially after hearing the famous 45 from poet Alfred Lord Tennyson: “In the spring, a young man’s fancy turns to thoughts of love.” But even then, it wasn’t the season itself that 46 my attention — it was the other things that came with it. Everything changed when I moved to China. I 47 my first Spring Festival in Beijing, and it could hardly be 48 . What stood out most for me was that the city seemed 49 , with no crowds or cars on the streets. I was 50 until my coworkers explained that during the Spring Festival, many people travel to 51 families in their hometown, and that many Beijingers are not 52 from the city. I also got my first 53 of something about the Spring Festival that 54 me — there seems to be an almost overnight improvement in the weather around the festival. I can’t 55 how the ancient Chinese could create a system for predicting (预测) the arrival of spring. But they did. 41．(1分)A．vacation B．lifestyle C．promise D．replacement 42．(1分)A．non-parent B．non-user C．non-event D．non-starter 43．(1分)A．limit B．place C．reply D．fun 44．(1分)A．appreciate B．describe C．dislike D．affect 45．(1分)A．music B．line C．joke D．voice 46．(1分)A．avoided B．noticed C．caught D．forgot 47．(1分)A．organized B．experienced C．reported D．compared 48．(1分)A．ignored B．recorded C．treasured D．dropped 49．(1分)A．crowded B．familiar C．empty D．restless 50．(1分)A．lonely B．confused C．warm D．satisfied 51．(1分)A．honor B．drive C．call D．visit 52．(1分)A．originally B．silently C．falsely D．readily 53．(1分)A．amount B．knowledge C．outbreak D．process 54．(1分)A．backed B．calmed C．amazed D．cheated 55．(1分)A．depend on B．focus on C．put out D．figure out 四、语法填空 （本题15分）阅读下面材料，在空格处填入适当的内容（1个单词）或使用括号中单词的正确形式。 Xu Xiake was known in China as a great explorer, geographer and travel writer. Born 56(1.5分) 1587, he loved reading books about geography and nature, and wished to see the natural wonders of the country. Xu started to travel at the age of 22. As well as exploring famous mountains and rivers, he went to places 57(1.5分) had never been visited before. His first journeys lasted only a few months, so that he could return home 58(1.5分) (regular). But by 1639, about two years before his death, Xu had been travelling for years at a time, 59(1.5分) (cover) almost half of modern China. Despite countless difficulties and challenges along his 60(1.5分) (journey), Xu never lost hope and his 61(1.5分) (curious) about the natural world kept him going. Xu’s own experiences allowed him 62(1.5分) (correct) several mistakes in earlier books. One of his most important discoveries was that the Jinsha River was 63(1.5分) true source of the Yangtze river. At over 600,000 words, Xu’s diaries 64(1.5分) (acknowledge) as one of the greatest works in both 65(1.5分) (science) and literary (文学的) fields. Translated into modern Chinese, it is amazing to hear the voice of Xu Xiake speaking to us across the centuries about his adventures. 五、书信写作 66．（本题15分）假定你是李华，你所在的城市暑期将举办一场为期一周的中华诗词作品展。组委会正在招募英语志愿者，负责接待国际参观者、介绍展品和协助互动活动。请你给组委会写一封英文申请信，内容包括： (1)表达申请意愿； (2)介绍个人优势。 注意： (1)写作词数应为80个左右； (2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Dear Sir or Madam, ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Sincerely, Li Hua 六、书面表达 67．（本题25分）I was never tidy. For years, I would excuse my mess as a sign of creative genius. Yet, when I arrived at senior high, I hadn’t come up with any impressive reasons for my big mess. And my roommate, Kim, did not seem to appreciate its contribution to my bright future. From the very first day, it was clear that we were opposites. Kim was extremely organized. She labeled everything, and every item she owned had a place — and more impressively, it always stayed there. However, my table was a mess. My pencil holder was always filled with junk — paper, broken rubber and random things. There was maybe one pen, but I certainly didn’t put it there. Neither of us was innocent. Neither of us was willing to give in. She got neater, and I got messier. She would complain about my dirty clothes, and I would complain about the smell of her cleaning spray. She would push my clothes to one side; I would leave one of my books on her tidy desk. It finally exploded one evening. Kim came into the room and froze. One of my muddy shoes — how it got there, I still didn’t know — had somehow found its way beneath her bed. To me, it was just a shoe. To Kim, it was a disaster. Her face tightened. Without a word, she bent down, grabbed the shoe, and threw it toward my side. The shoe missed me and instead hit my books, sending them crashing to the floor. I immediately yelled about her rudeness. She fired back similar frustrations and soon we both ended up rushing to the door, trying to be the first to leave. I’m sure we wouldn’t have stayed another day in that room — if it hadn’t been for the phone call she received. Later that evening, after we had both returned to the room separately, I sat on my bed, angry and she sat on hers, also upset. Then the phone rang. Kim picked it up. Her voice softened, then cracked, and I could tell from her end of the conversation that her grandma had got a serious illness. Losing someone you loved was not something anyone should face alone. I knew that kind of pain. When Kim hung up, she wouldn’t look at me. She crawled under her covers without a word. I could hear her quiet sobbing. What to do? I didn’t want to just walk over to comfort her (I was still upset), but I didn’t want to leave her either. 注意： 1.续写的词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 When I looked at the mess, an idea came to me. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ After that evening, we lived peacefully through nice little actions. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 2 / 2 2 / 2 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 高中英语单元测试 —— Unit 4 Exploring Literature 学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________ 一、听力选择题 1．（本题1.5分）What did the man do just before the conversation?

C．The host of the ceremony. 【答案】18．A 19．A 20．C 【原文】 M: Honestly, I can’t believe my dream has come true. As a young man, I have always been imagining moving to Los Angeles one day and putting my whole heart into music. Of course, at the time, this seemed like a very distant hope. But thanks to my fans, supporters and wife, I’m here today. First, I released three twelve-song records, which slowly gained attention around my hometown in Northern England and some nearby regions like Scotland and Ireland. And now, my latest project, which was just a single song, caught the world’s attention. For that, I’d say it only happened because I refused to give up. Through the ups and downs in my career, I did it all for the love of music. So, being recognized for this award means a lot to me. To all the young musicians out there, you can do it too. Plus, to all the fans and anyone enjoying my music, I’ve done this for you. This award is for all of us — may many more great things come in the future. Now, put your hands together for our host, Bob Ackerman, with the next award. 二、阅读理解 （本题7.5分）Three Remarkable Books to Enrich Your Mind In the vast ocean of literature, certain books stand out for their profound insights and enduring impact. Selected from authoritative lists like the Guardian’s “100 Best Books of the 21st Century” and the New York Times’ annual recommendations, these three works offer unique windows into history, humanity, and imagination. Gilead by Marilynne Robinson First on the list is this Pulitzer Prize-winning novel that reads like a heartfelt letter. Written from the perspective of an aging preacher, John Ames, the book reflects on his family’s journey through American history — from the Civil War to the 1950s. Ames shares stories of love, loss, and faith with his young son, weaving personal memories into a vivid tapestry of a nation’s evolution. With its lyrical prose and deep moral reflections, Gilead has earned a Douban rating of 8.0, captivating readers with its emotional resonance. Secondhand Time by Svetlana Alexievich Next is a Nobel Prize-winning work of nonfiction. Through intimate oral interviews, the Belarusian author documents the lives of ordinary people during the chaotic transition of post-Soviet Russia (1991-2012). These firsthand accounts reveal the hopes, struggles, and despair of those caught in historical unrest, offering a raw view of a society in turmoil. Recognized for its powerful storytelling, the book boasts an impressive 8.8 rating on Douban, standing as a testament to the resilience of the human spirit. Never Let Me Go by Kazuo Ishiguro Completing the trio is this thought-provoking dystopian novel. Shortlisted for the Booker Prize, this work follows three friends growing up in a seemingly idyllic boarding school, uncovering a dark secret about their existence. Ishiguro masterfully blends science fiction with profound questions about identity, love, and mortality, creating a narrative that lingers in the mind long after the final page. With a Douban rating of 8.7, it has become a modern classic beloved by readers worldwide. Each of these books goes beyond genres and time. Whether you seek historical wisdom, emotional truth, or speculative insight, they promise a journey that will expand your horizons and touch your soul. 21．(2.5分)Which of the following is the notable feature of Gilead? A．Its detailed description of war scenes. B．Its exploration of dystopian themes. C．Its focus on post-Soviet evolution. D．Its presentation as a preacher’s letter to his son. 22．(2.5分)We can infer from the passage that Secondhand Time is ________. A．a fictional story about famous people B．a true record of social changes C．a book full of imaginary experiences D．a work criticizing modern society 23．(2.5分)What do the three books have in common? A．They all won the Booker Prize. B．They are all set in the 21st century. C．They offer profound insights into human experiences. D．They are based on the authors’ personal lives. 【答案】21．D 22．B 23．C 【导语】本文介绍三本高分优质书籍，分别讲述家国岁月、苏联社会变迁与人性命运思考，均富含深刻思想，能开阔眼界、滋养心灵。 【详解】21．细节理解题。根据第二段“Written from the perspective of an aging preacher, John Ames, the book reflects on his family’s journey through American history — from the Civil War to the 1950s. Ames shares stories of love, loss, and faith with his young son, weaving personal memories into a vivid tapestry of a nation’s evolution.(这本书从一位年长的牧师约翰·艾姆斯的视角出发，回顾了他家庭在美国历史进程中的经历——从内战时期到 20 世纪 50 年代。艾姆斯与他年幼的儿子分享了关于爱、失去和信仰的故事，将个人记忆融入到一幅描绘国家发展历程的生动画卷之中)”可知，其呈现形式如同一位传教士写给儿子的信件是《吉利德》的显著特点。 22．推理判断题。根据第三段“Through intimate oral interviews, the Belarusian author documents the lives of ordinary people during the chaotic transition of post-Soviet Russia (1991-2012).(通过深入的面对面访谈，这位白俄罗斯作家记录了苏联解体后俄罗斯那段混乱时期的普通民众的生活状况（1991年至2012年）)”可知，《二手时间》真实地记录了社会的变化。 23．细节理解题。根据第一段“In the vast ocean of literature, certain books stand out for their profound insights and enduring impact. Selected from authoritative lists like the Guardian’s “100 Best Books of the 21st Century” and the New York Times’ annual recommendations, these three works offer unique windows into history, humanity, and imagination.(在浩瀚的文学海洋中，有一些书籍因其深刻的见解和持久的影响而脱颖而出。它们选自诸如《卫报》“21世纪最佳书籍”以及《纽约时报》年度推荐榜单等权威榜单。这三部作品为我们提供了了解历史、人性和想象力的独特视角)”可知，这三本书为人类经历提供了深刻的见解。 （本题10分）Like everybody else in America, I was looking for a side job that can make a few extra dollars, so I can afford my favorite things. So I read all the articles about taking surveys (for pennies) or becoming a remote receptionist. I even briefly considered delivering pizzas, but I realized I’d be fired after the first night for picking all the sausages off customers’ pizzas and leaving just the bar e dough (面团). I leafed through one of my four copies of Infinite Jest, and an idea slowly formed. I could sell books. My books. No, not books I’ve actually written, but all of the hundreds of books I’ve compulsively purchased over the years and never quite gotten around to. Since all roads lead to Amazon, I requested permission to join Amazon Marketplace. After a certain age, you forget about the person you used to be. Apparently, I was a person who thought deep thoughts. Part of me wishes I was still that person, someone with intellectual curiosity. But I forgot about all that when I discovered that my copy of Steve Martin’s 1977 masterpiece Cruel Shoes is worth $35．Should I hang onto it? It can only appreciate in value, right? What if Steve Martin dies? The price will go through the roof. A year has gone by. I’ve added 10 books to the “sell” pile, and only after the kind of painful internal debate usually reserved for buying a new home. And even though I owned three copies of The Gunslinger, I felt ambivalent about letting it go. It was a book, and I loved it. I loved the memories of where I was in my life when I first bought it at a mall bookstore. The mall is gone. And now the book is. But each book reminds me that authors live forever through their work. Each book, too, reminds me of a younger me, and I don’t want to let that younger me go. So, please, whatever you do, don’t buy my books. 24．(2.5分)Why did the author join Amazon Marketplace? A．To get rid of boring daily life. B．To collect secondhand books. C．To get some extra income. D．To sell the books he wrote. 25．(2.5分)What kind of person did the author use to be? A．Someone thirsty for knowledge. B．Someone with unrealistic ideas. C．Someone addicted to the Internet. D．Someone expert at doing business. 26．(2.5分)What does the underlined word “ambivalent” in Paragraph 6 probably mean? A．Relieved. B．Hesitant. C．Pleased. D．Nervous. 27．(2.5分)Which word can best describe the author? A．Greedy. B．Knowledgeable. C．Humorous. D．Considerate. 【答案】24．C 25．A 26．B 27．C 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者自己在亚马逊网站上出售自己收藏的旧书的经历。 【详解】24．细节理解题。根据第一段中“I was looking for a side job that can make a few extra dollars, so I can afford my favorite things.( 我在找一份能赚外快的兼职，这样我就能买得起我最喜欢的东西了。)”可知，作者加入亚马逊的目的是想通过卖书增加一些额外收入。故选C。 25．推理判断题。根据第四段“After a certain age, you forget about the person you used to be. Apparently, I was a person who thought deep thoughts. Part of me wishes I was still that person, someone with intellectual curiosity.(过了一定的年龄，你会忘记曾经的自己。显然，我是一个善于思考的人。我的一部分希望我还是那个人，一个有求知欲的人。)”可推知，作者过去是一个渴求知识的人。故选A。 26．词义猜测题。根据第六段画线词前面的“And even though I owned three copies of The Gunslinger(尽管我有三本《枪手)”和后面的“ It was a book, and I loved it. I loved the memories of where I was in my life when I first bought it at a mall bookstore.(那是一本书，我很喜欢。我喜欢回忆我第一次在商场书店买到这本书时的情景。)”可知，作者虽然有三本相同的书, 但是由于喜爱书，以及它带来的记忆，所以还是对是否卖掉这些书犹豫不决。故划线词与B选项“Hesitant. (犹豫的)”为同义词。故选B。 27．推理判断题。根据第二段中“I even briefly considered delivering pizzas, but I realized I’d be fired after the first night for picking all the sausages off customers’ pizzas and leaving just the bar e dough (我甚至一度考虑送披萨，但我意识到，第一天晚上我就会被解雇，因为我从顾客的披萨上拿走了所有的香肠，只留下了面团。)”以及最后一段“So, please, whatever you do, don’t buy my books.(所以，无论你做什么，都不要买我的书。)”可推知，作者以幽默的口吻介绍了自己的兼职工作的想法，以及作者以幽默的口吻描述了自己与每本书之间的回忆和喜爱，请求顾客们不要买书，由此体现出作者是一个幽默的人。故选C。 （本题10分）“There was once a town in the heart of America where all life seemed to live in harmony with its surroundings.” This is the surprising first sentence of Rachel Carson’s Silent Spring, the 1962 book that arguably sparked the modern environmental movement. While most people have heard of Silent Spring, many fewer have actually read it. It is now largely classified as textbooks or other educational contexts. That is why its first sentence is so surprising: Silent Spring does not read like a textbook. It begins with a fable and is filled with beautiful, emotional writing and passion throughout. Carson raised a public outcry against DDT not just with her research on its harmful effects, but with the vivid descriptions, powerful arguments, and poetic language that lift Silent Spring into the world of other great works of American literature. The poetry of Carson’s opening continues into the rest of Silent Spring. There is poetic language throughout the book; even Carson’s chapter titles such as “Earth’s Green Mantle (披风)” and “Through a Narrow Window” are not what we might expect for a scientific work. But the places where Carson’s artistry is more apparent are in her chapter introductions. She weaves her most vivid images in the first few paragraphs of each chapter, creating a more realistic experience for the reader before moving into more complex scientific writing. While she’s good at translating the beauty of the natural world, the powerful emotions Carson raises with this imagery are rarely rosy. Not only is Silent Spring a descriptive scientific work and a great work of literature — it is also an accusation. She uses the word “evil” 10 times, the word “suffer” 35 times, and different forms of the word “death” a total of 213 times. With this landmark book, Carson gracefully established herself as both an important figure of modern American literature and a pioneer of the 20th century’s environmental movement. Her words are effective and convincing, and more so because they are beautiful. Silent Spring is clearly a tapestry (挂毯) patiently woven — with a cause worth fighting for. 28．(2.5分)What is the opening of Silent Spring like? A．It clearly reveals its writing purpose. B．It directly presents Carson’s arguments. C．It starts with quotes from victims of pollution. D．It reads more like a fable than a science book. 29．(2.5分)Which part of Silent Spring best shows Carson’s literary skill? A．The opening. B．The chapter titles. C．The chapter introductions. D．The conclusion. 30．(2.5分)Why did Carson use emotional words like “death” repeatedly? A．To make her writing less technical. B．To highlight the urgency of her warning. C．To express her pessimism about the future. D．To contrast nature’s beauty with human destruction. 31．(2.5分)What’s the main focus of the passage? A．Why Silent Spring still matters. B．How powerful languages can be. C．Why Silent Spring is both science and literature. D．What role Carson plays in environmental history. 【答案】28．D 29．C 30．B 31．C 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了蕾切尔·卡逊的《寂静的春天》，其开篇像寓言，文学性强，兼具科学与文学特质，是环保运动里程碑。 【详解】28．细节理解题。根据第三段“That is why its first sentence is so surprising: Silent Spring does not read like a textbook. It begins with a fable and is filled with beautiful, emotional writing and passion throughout.(这就是为什么它的第一句话会如此令人惊讶：《寂静的春天》读起来不像是一本教科书。它以一则寓言开篇，全书充满了优美动人的文字和强烈的感情色彩)”可知，《寂静的春天》这本书的开头读起来更像是一个寓言故事，而非一本科学著作。故选D。 29．细节理解题。根据第四段“But the places where Carson’s artistry is more apparent are in her chapter introductions. She weaves her most vivid images in the first few paragraphs of each chapter, creating a more realistic experience for the reader before moving into more complex scientific writing.(但卡逊作品中更具艺术表现力的部分体现在她的章节引言部分。她在每一章的前几段中巧妙地融入了最生动的意象，为读者营造出一种更为真实的阅读体验，然后再深入探讨更为复杂的科学内容)”可知，《寂静的春天》这部作品中第一章的介绍部分最能体现卡逊的文学才华，故选C。 30．推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“While she’s good at translating the beauty of the natural world, the powerful emotions Carson raises with this imagery are rarely rosy. Not only is Silent Spring a descriptive scientific work and a great work of literature — it is also an accusation. She uses the word “evil”10 times, the word “suffer” 35 times, and different forms of the word “death” a total of 213 times.(虽然卡逊在描绘自然界的美方面颇为出色，但她通过这些意象所引发的强大情感却很少是美好的。《寂静的春天》不仅是一部描述性的科学著作和杰出的文学作品，它还是一份控诉书。她用了“邪恶”这个词10次，“受苦”这个词35次，而“死亡”这个词的各种形式总共出现了213次)”可知，卡逊通过多次使用“evil”、“suffer”、“death”这类带有强烈情感色彩的词汇，目的是强调环境问题的严重性，即，突出她所发出警告的紧迫性。故选B。 31．主旨大意题。根据最后一段“With this landmark book, Carson gracefully established herself as both an important figure of modern American literature and a pioneer of the 20th century’s environmental movement. Her words are effective and convincing, and more so because they are beautiful. Silent Spring is clearly a tapestry (挂毯) patiently woven — with a cause worth fighting for.(凭借这本具有里程碑意义的著作，卡逊成功地确立了自己作为现代美国文学重要人物以及20世纪环保运动先驱的地位。她的文字既有力又令人信服，而且更因其优美而显得更加出色。《寂静的春天》无疑是一幅精心编织的挂毯——背后有着值得为之奋斗的崇高目标)”结合文章主要介绍了蕾切尔·卡逊的《寂静的春天》，其开篇像寓言，文学性强，兼具科学与文学特质，是环保运动里程碑。可知，这篇文章的主要论述重点是《寂静的春天》为何既是科学著作又是文学作品。故选C。 （本题10分）When I first came across All the Water in the World by Eiren Caffall, I wasn’t quite sure what to expect. A doomsday-after story centered around a young girl’s survival journey? Interesting! But what really drew me in was the description of the destruction caused by climate change and the moving exploration of human courage. Little did I know, it would transform my understanding of both hope and loss. Caffall’s writing is nothing short of amazing. Her vivid description brought to life the terrifying beauty of a world now more watery than land. Through Nonie’s eyes, the strangeness of floating through a drowned city is both amazing and frightening. The pictures of empty buildings under dark water painted a dream-like scene that stayed in my mind long after I set the book down. The characters are rich and caring, each showing a fierce love for one another that adds warmth to the dangerous journey they start. Nonie’s early wisdom and her relationship with water indicate the connection people can have with nature, even when faced with its destructive side. It’s a narrative that speaks deeply, especially in today’s world. Reflecting on my reading experience, I can confidently say that All the Water in the World is a narrative that stays with you — filled with beauty and terror, hope and despair. Readers who enjoy stories similar to Station Eleven or The Light Pirate will undoubtedly find themselves attracted by Caffall’s delicate yet powerful storytelling. In conclusion, if you’re searching for a meaningful yet exciting book that explores survival and humanity’s fragile relationship with the environment, this book calls out to you. It’s a “don’t miss” doomsday-after story that will inspire long after you reach the final page. 32．(2.5分)What is Paragraph 2 mainly about? A．The author’s writing style. B．The development of the plot. C．The background of the story. D．The struggles of the character. 33．(2.5分)What can be inferred about the characters’ journey in Paragraph 3? A．It is quite adventurous but also warm. B．It goes smoothly due to Nonie’s wisdom. C．It improves characters’ ability to deal with flood. D．It promotes the relation between human and nature. 34．(2.5分)Why does the author mention Station Eleven and The Light Pirate? A．To compare the differences. B．To attract potential readers. C．To question their popularity. D．To criticize their disadvantages. 35．(2.5分)What is the author’s attitude towards the book? A．Unclear. B．Doubtful. C．Objective. D．Supportive. 【答案】32．A 33．A 34．B 35．D 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了Eiren Caffall所著的《世界上所有的水》一书，包括其写作风格、故事情节、人物特点以及作者对这本书的评价和推荐。 32．主旨大意题。根据第二段“Caffall’s writing is nothing short of amazing. Her vivid description brought to life the terrifying beauty of a world now more watery than land. Through Nonie’s eyes, the strangeness of floating through a drowned city is both amazing and frightening. The pictures of empty buildings under dark water painted a dream-like scene that stayed in my mind long after I set the book down.(Caffall的写作简直令人惊叹。她生动的描写使一个如今水比陆地还多的世界的恐怖之美栩栩如生。透过Nonie的眼睛，漂浮在被淹没的城市中的陌生感既令人惊奇又令人恐惧。黑暗的水下空荡荡的建筑物的画面描绘了一个梦幻般的场景，在我放下书后很久还留在我的脑海里)”可知，第二段主要描述了Caffall的写作风格，她通过生动的描写使读者仿佛身临其境。故选A项。 33．推理判断题。根据第三段“The characters are rich and caring, each showing a fierce love for one another that adds warmth to the dangerous journey they start.(人物丰富而富有同情心，每个人都表现出对彼此的强烈爱意，这为他们开始的危险旅程增添了温暖)”可知，这些人物在旅程中既经历了冒险，又感受到了彼此之间的温暖和关爱。故选A项。 34．推理判断题。根据第四段“Readers who enjoy stories similar to Station Eleven or The Light Pirate will undoubtedly find themselves attracted by Caffall’s delicate yet powerful storytelling.(喜欢《Station Eleven》或《The Light Pirate》这类故事的读者无疑会被Caffall细腻而有力的叙事所吸引)”可知，作者提到《Station Eleven》和《The Light Pirate》是为了吸引那些喜欢这类故事的潜在读者，让他们知道《世界上所有的水》这本书也会吸引他们。故选B项。 35．推理判断题。根据最后一段“In conclusion, if you’re searching for a meaningful yet exciting book that explores survival and humanity’s fragile relationship with the environment, this book calls out to you. It’s a “don’t miss” doomsday-after story that will inspire long after you reach the final page.(总之，如果你正在寻找一本既有意义又令人兴奋的书，探索生存和人类与环境的脆弱关系，这本书会吸引你。这是一个“不容错过”的末日后的故事，即使你读到最后一页，也会长久地激励着你)”可知，作者对这本书持支持态度，认为这是一本值得一读的好书。故选D项。 （本题12.5分）When I spied an article about the benefits of switching one’s phone to a black-and-white color mode, I figured I’d give it a shot. 36(2.5分) The moment I switched, I no longer felt an urgent need to look at my iPhone — an urge that I hadn’t known was so strong until it was gone. I experienced a full-bodied sense of relief. I would leave my phone in my room when I walked from my home office to the kitchen. 37(2.5分) When I did check it, I put it down quickly as soon as the task was done. The number of hours I spent per day on the phone dropped by 40 percent, to an average of four hours and 40 minutes per day — still embarrassingly high, but not the dizzying eight-plus hours I was averaging. 38(2.5分) Because the answer and reject buttons on my phone are both gray, I’ll sometimes hang up on a call I want to answer. 39(2.5分) Games weren’t as fun, so I started playing them on my tablet and discovered that I liked the separation between work and play that it enforced: smartphone for boring stuff; tablet for fun. Two and a half months into this journey, I’m pretty sure I’ll never go back to color on my phone. To be honest, it made me more aware and more appreciative of the color and beauty in real life. Now that I am no longer turning to my phone for fun, I find myself seeking it out in other ways — reading more books, planning more gatherings with friends, hanging out with my kids. 40(2.5分) A．It was hard at first. B．The result was shocking. C．And those are things I do want to be addicted to. D．When I return to color, my eyes are no longer used to it. E．I would forget to pick it up for hours instead of minutes. F．Fortunately, these days, nobody minds if you just ring them back. G．There are some small downsides to my black-and-white online life. 【答案】36．B 37．E 38．G 39．F 40．C 【导语】文章主要讲述了作者尝试手机黑白模式后减少使用时长并更珍惜现实生活的经历。 【详解】36．上文“When I spied an article about the benefits of switching one’s phone to a black-and-white color mode, I figured I’d give it a shot.(当我看到一篇关于将手机切换为黑白模式好处的文章时，我决定试一试)”说明作者决定尝试黑白模式。空后“The moment I switched, I no longer felt an urgent need to look at my iPhone — an urge that I hadn’t known was so strong until it was gone. I experienced a full-bodied sense of relief.(切换的那一刻，我不再感到迫切想看手机——一种直到消失后我才知道有多强烈的冲动。我感到一种全身的解脱)”说明效果立竿见影，令人震惊。空处需承接上文引出令人震惊的结果。选项B“The result was shocking.(结果令人震惊)”承上启下，与后文具体描述效果相呼应，符合语境。 37．上文“I would leave my phone in my room when I walked from my home office to the kitchen.(当我从家庭办公室走到厨房时，我会把手机留在房间里)”说明作者开始主动远离手机。空后“When I did check it, I put it down quickly as soon as the task was done.(当我确实查看手机时，任务一完成就立刻放下)”说明即使查看也会迅速放下。空处需与上文构成递进，说明忘记拿手机的时间更长了。选项E“I would forget to pick it up for hours instead of minutes.(我会忘记拿起手机好几个小时而不是几分钟)”与上文“leave my phone in my room”形成递进，说明忘记拿手机从几分钟变成了几小时，符合语境。 38．上文“The number of hours I spent per day on the phone dropped by 40 percent, to an average of four hours and 40 minutes per day — still embarrassingly high, but not the dizzying eight-plus hours I was averaging.(我每天花在手机上的时间减少了40%，降至平均每天4小时40分钟——仍然高得令人尴尬，但不再是我之前平均的令人眩晕的八个多小时)”说明黑白模式效果显著。空后“Because the answer and reject buttons on my phone are both gray, I'll sometimes hang up on a call I want to answer.(因为手机上的接听和拒绝按钮都是灰色的，我有时会挂断我想接的电话)”开始讲述黑白模式的缺点。空处需引出“有小缺点”这一话题。选项G“There are some small downsides to my black-and-white online life.(我的黑白在线生活有一些小缺点)”引出下文关于缺点的具体描述，符合语境。 39．上文“Because the answer and reject buttons on my phone are both gray, I'll sometimes hang up on a call I want to answer.(因为手机上的接听和拒绝按钮都是灰色的，我有时会挂断我想接的电话)”说明误挂电话的问题。空后“Games weren't as fun, so I started playing them on my tablet and discovered that I liked the separation between work and play that it enforced: smartphone for boring stuff; tablet for fun.(游戏没那么好玩了，所以我开始在平板上玩，并发现我喜欢它强制实现的工作和娱乐之间的分离：智能手机用于无聊的事；平板用于娱乐)”说明另一个缺点。空处需对误挂电话的问题进行补充说明。选项F“Fortunately, these days, nobody minds if you just ring them back.(幸运的是，现在没人介意你回拨给他们)”承接上文误挂电话的问题，给出解决办法，与后文另一个缺点形成并列，符合语境。 40．上文“Now that I am no longer turning to my phone for fun, I find myself seeking it out in other ways — reading more books, planning more gatherings with friends, hanging out with my kids.(既然我不再用手机找乐子了，我发现自己在其他方面寻找乐趣——读更多书，和朋友策划更多聚会，和孩子们一起玩)”说明作者找到了新的乐趣。空处需对上文进行总结升华。选项C“And those are things I do want to be addicted to.(而这些才是我真正想沉迷的事情)”中“those”指代上文的读书、聚会、陪孩子等活动，总结全文并与开头沉迷手机形成对比，升华主题，符合语境。 三、完形填空 （本题15分）As a child in a small town in the Northeast U.S., spring didn’t mean much to me. We had a week off from school, but it was just a 41 , not a celebration of spring. For the kids in our neighborhood, the arrival of spring was a 42 . We only cared about winter for skating, and summer for the beach. Spring and autumn were just in-between times, waiting for the 43 to start again. Eventually, I started to 44 spring more, especially after hearing the famous 45 from poet Alfred Lord Tennyson: “In the spring, a young man’s fancy turns to thoughts of love.” But even then, it wasn’t the season itself that 46 my attention — it was the other things that came with it. Everything changed when I moved to China. I 47 my first Spring Festival in Beijing, and it could hardly be 48 . What stood out most for me was that the city seemed 49 , with no crowds or cars on the streets. I was 50 until my coworkers explained that during the Spring Festival, many people travel to 51 families in their hometown, and that many Beijingers are not 52 from the city.

As well as exploring famous mountains and rivers, he went to places 57(1.5分) had never been visited before. His first journeys lasted only a few months, so that he could return home 58(1.5分) (regular). But by 1639, about two years before his death, Xu had been travelling for years at a time, 59(1.5分) (cover) almost half of modern China. Despite countless difficulties and challenges along his 60(1.5分) (journey), Xu never lost hope and his 61(1.5分) (curious) about the natural world kept him going. Xu’s own experiences allowed him 62(1.5分) (correct) several mistakes in earlier books. One of his most important discoveries was that the Jinsha River was 63(1.5分) true source of the Yangtze river. At over 600,000 words, Xu’s diaries 64(1.5分) (acknowledge) as one of the greatest works in both 65(1.5分) (science) and literary (文学的) fields.

For years, I would excuse my mess as a sign of creative genius. Yet, when I arrived at senior high, I hadn’t come up with any impressive reasons for my big mess. And my roommate, Kim, did not seem to appreciate its contribution to my bright future. From the very first day, it was clear that we were opposites. Kim was extremely organized. She labeled everything, and every item she owned had a place — and more impressively, it always stayed there. However, my table was a mess. My pencil holder was always filled with junk — paper, broken rubber and random things. There was maybe one pen, but I certainly didn’t put it there. Neither of us was innocent. Neither of us was willing to give in. She got neater, and I got messier. She would complain about my dirty clothes, and I would complain about the smell of her cleaning spray. She would push my clothes to one side; I would leave one of my books on her tidy desk. It finally exploded one evening. Kim came into the room and froze. One of my muddy shoes — how it got there, I still didn’t know — had somehow found its way beneath her bed. To me, it was just a shoe. To Kim, it was a disaster. Her face tightened. Without a word, she bent down, grabbed the shoe, and threw it toward my side. The shoe missed me and instead hit my books, sending them crashing to the floor. I immediately yelled about her rudeness. She fired back similar frustrations and soon we both ended up rushing to the door, trying to be the first to leave. I’m sure we wouldn’t have stayed another day in that room — if it hadn’t been for the phone call she received. Later that evening, after we had both returned to the room separately, I sat on my bed, angry and she sat on hers, also upset. Then the phone rang. Kim picked it up. Her voice softened, then cracked, and I could tell from her end of the conversation that her grandma had got a serious illness. Losing someone you loved was not something anyone should face alone. I knew that kind of pain. When Kim hung up, she wouldn’t look at me. She crawled under her covers without a word. I could hear her quiet sobbing. What to do? I didn’t want to just walk over to comfort her (I was still upset), but I didn’t want to leave her either. 注意： 1.续写的词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 When I looked at the mess, an idea came to me. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ After that evening, we lived peacefully through nice little actions. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文 When I looked at the mess, an idea came to me. Deliberately, I began to clean. I remembered how Kim always took care of everything she owned and decided to do the same. I started by tidying up my desk and sorting through the scraps of paper. I took back the book I had carelessly placed on her desk. I picked up the socks and shirts scattered around and I made my bed. I even put some pencils into my pencil holder. Then, I swept the floor, including her side. I got so absorbed into the cleaning that I didn’t even notice that Kim had come out from under the covers. She was watching my every move in surprise, her tears dried and her expression full of disbelief. When I looked up and met Kim’s eyes, she smiled at me and said in a grateful voice “Thanks.” After that evening, we lived peacefully through nice little actions. I woke up one morning to find my desk already tidied — Kim had done it silently. In return, I began taking the time to organize my things quietly, just to show her I was willing to meet her halfway. These small gestures became our new way of communicating. There was a silent understanding between us. The room still wasn’t perfect, and we still had our minor disagreements, but we had learned to live with each other’s differences. She taught me discipline; I taught her patience. She laughed at my “chaotic genius,” and I teased her about her “robot-like” habits. We came to realize that living together wasn’t about who was neat or messy, right or wrong. It was about understanding, helping, and holding on to each other, even when things got messy. And sometimes, that’s enough. 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，本文讲述了不爱整洁的作者与十分爱干净的室友Kim多次发生矛盾，最终因一只脏鞋爆发激烈争吵。后来Kim得知奶奶病重，伤心地哭泣。曾有过相似痛苦经历的作者虽仍在生气，却十分关心她，两人紧张的关系迎来转机。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“看着眼前的混乱，我忽然有了个主意。”可以预测续写这段主要内容：作者看到杂乱后主动打扫房间，效仿室友整理自己的物品，甚至清扫了室友那边，这让室友Kim十分惊讶并向她道谢。 ②由第二段首句内容“那天晚上之后，我们用温馨的小举动和平相处。”可以预测续写这段主要内容：那晚之后，两人用小举动互相包容，学会接纳差异，懂得了相处在于理解与扶持。 2.续写线索：作者主动打扫房间——清扫了Kim那边卫生——Kim十分惊讶并向作者道谢——两人学会互相包容和接纳差异——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①打扫：clean/sweep ②拥有：own/possess ③决定做：decide to do /be determined to do 情绪类 ①惊讶：surprise/astonishment ②感激的：grateful/thankful 【点睛】[高分句型1] She was watching my every move in surprise, her tears dried and her expression full of disbelief. （运用了独立主格结构） [高分句型2] We came to realize that living together wasn’t about who was neat or messy, right or wrong. （运用了that和who引导的宾语从句） 2 / 2 2 / 2 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $听力考试正式开始。I just finished a cool book about the other space.

Of course, at the time, this seems like a very distant hope, but thanks to my fans, supporters and a wife, i'm here today. First, I released three twelve song records, which slowly gained attention around my hometown in northern england and some nearby regions like scotland and ireland. And now my latest project, which was just a single song, caught the world's attention. For that, i'd say IT only happened because I refused to give up through the upside downs of my career I did at all for the love of music. So being recognized for this award means a lot to me, to all the Young musicians out there. You can do IT too. Plus to all the fans and anyone enjoying my music, i've done this for you.
