Museum Ambassadors at the American History Museum are a mobile source of information that helps bridge the gap between two other volunteer groups here at the museum-information desk specialists,who provide orientation(方向)assistance when guests arrive,and volunteer docents.(讲解 )who provide Highlights tours,facilitate hands-on demonstrations and circulate through many of our exhibitions to interact with visitors.Each year, our Museum Ambassadors help over 100,000 people get the most out of their visits by welcoming groups,circulating throughout the museum's public zones to answer basic questions,and directing visitors to programs and exhibitions of interest.The museum has also employed the Museum Ambassadors to assist with special projects and events as needed. To learn more about what Museum Ambassadors do,check out what Larry has said,"As museum ambassadors,we get to share in the curiosity of a child, the nostalgia()of returning visitors,the treasure hunt of students assigned to find important historical objects,and the amazement of those experiencing our eye on the nation's history for the first time.We can help recommend a meaningful museum visit just for you.There's more.We're also traffic cops when elevators and escalators break and extra eyes for museum security."

My love of reading dates back to 1970,when I studied in a three-room primary schoolhouse on a dirt road.One day,I accidentally came to the basement library and I was fascinated by the picture books.Unfortunately,the 第6页共11页 books were later thrown away when the school discovered the basement was full of mould ()Happily,weeks later,a truck arrived with a trailer-which, with the help of our county's public library,had been transformed into a paradise (for those who enjoyed reading.Now I still remember the floor-to-ceiling shelves and the carpeted benches in it.Every time I left,I wrote my name on several sign-out cards,which were filled with names of children from neighbouring schools.We liked the same books and,although we never met,I considered them friends. At the beginning,our Little Free Library began to include children's stories.I witnessed mothers lifting their children for a look into the library. Walkers included our street in their route so they could check for new offerings. Some folks routinely drove from several blocks away to visit.From time to time,visitors filled shelves with literary fiction,romances,poetry and a range of non-fiction.I smiled when people met me in the yard and commented that our Little Free Library was like a bird feeder. We remain grateful that we have kept our Little Free Library open.It has become an alternative means of creating a community of people with mutual regard for humanity and the written word. 40.What inspired the author to start the Little Free Library? A.Her large collection of books. B.Her husband's encouragement. C.An experience during a vacation. D.Strangers'visit to her garden shed. 41.From the passage,we can learn that A.children wrote their names on the sign-out cards to meet friends B.the author's enthusiasm for reading started from her childhood C.neighbouring schools donated books to the Little Free Library D.the county's public library became a perfect place for book lovers 42.People considered the Little Free Library a bird feeder because A.it provided food for thought B.it attracted birds for shelter C.visitors could feed birds D.people could exchange books C A shopkeeper's son breaks a window,causing a crowd to gather.They tell the shopkeeper not to be angry:actually,the broken window is a reason to celebrate,since it will create work for the glazier(装玻璃的工人).In the story, written by a 19th-century economist,the crowd envisions the work involved in 第7页共11页 repairing the window,but not that involved in everything else on which the shopkeeper could have spent his money-unseen possibilities that would have brought him greater happiness. If that window were to be broken these days,people might have a different reaction,especially if they were NIMBYs (Not In My Back Yard)who oppose any local construction that affects their quality of life.Their concern might be with the "embodied carbon".The production of a piece of glass would carry a sizeable carbon cost.Similarly,the bricks and concrete in a building are relics of past emissions.They are,the logic goes,embodied earben. Conserving what already exists,rather than adding to the building stock, will avoid increasing these embodied emissions-or so NIMB Ys often suggest. At its worst,this idea is based on a warped logic.Greenhouse gases released by the construction of an existing building will heat the planet whether the building is repaired or knocked down.The emissions have been taken out of the world's "carbon budget",so treating them as a new cost means double counting.The right question to ask is whether it is worth using the remaining carbon budget to repair a building or it is better to knock it down. Choosing between these possibilities requires thinking about the unseen.It used to be said that construction emitted two types of emissions.Besides the embodied sort,there were operational ones from cooling,heating and providing electricity to residents.Around the world,buildings account for 39% of annual emissions,according to the World Green Building Council,of which 28%come from operational carbon. These two types of emissions might be enough for the architects designing an individual building.But when it comes to broader questions,economists ought also to consider how the placement of buildings affects the manner in which people work,shop and travel.Density lowers the per-person cost of public transport,and this reduces car use.Research by Green Alliance,a pressure group,suggests that in Britain a policy of "demolish (and density"-replacing semi-detached housing near public transport with blocks of flats-would save substantial emissions.Without such demolition,potential residents would typically have to move to the suburbs instead,saving money on rent but consuming more energy. Targeted subsidies ()especially for research and development into construction materials,could speed up the pace at which the built environment decarbonises(降低碳排放).What will never work,however,is allowing the 第8页共11页 loudest voices to decide how to use land and ignoring the carbon emissions of their would-be neighbours once they are out of sight. 43.The first two paragraphs are written to A.exemplify an outlook on energy conservation B.present a new way of relieving energy crisis C.explain people's reaction to a broken window D.introduce an argument on carbon emission 44.What does underlined word "warped"in Paragraph 3 probably mean? A.Flawed.B.Complicated.C.Distinctive.D.Underlying 45.What can be learnt from the passage? A.Operational carbon accounts for a larger share of carbon emission B.Repairing old buildings outweighs demolition in energy conservation. C.Higher residential density near public transport may reduce emission. D.Stopping residents living in new buildings is sensible for energy saving. 46.As for decarbonization of the built environment,author agrees that. A.Interests of NIMBYs are worthy of consideration. B.A comprehensive insight into emission is essential C.Upgrading construction materials should be prioritized. D.Every resident should do their bit in reducing carbon emission. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。 选项中有两项为多余选项。 Time or Money? Would you rather have a higher salary or the freedom to work from anywhere in the world?According to a survey,seven out of ten surveyed readers would consider accepting a lower salary for more perks(颔外收入) and benefits-one in ten would definitely do so.47 For today's workforce,especially Gen Zs and millennials(千禧一代)， perks extend far beyond the traditional benefits package.They are putting a lot of focus on work-life balance,career advancement,and the company's culture and values.Among all,a flexible work arrangement tops the list of those values.48.The ability to control when and where they work not only boosts productivity but also helps prevent burout.This shift enforces companies to demonstrate that they value outcomes and results over rigid schedules.In return,employees feel trusted,valued,and empowered, performing at their best when given the flexibility to balance their personal and professional lives. 第9页共11页 49.For women,especially working mothers,unclear boundaries hetween home and work can make them feel like they are always working, which increases the risk of burnout.Moreover,remote work can intensify the challenges associated with career advancement,as fewer in-person interactions can lead to being overlooked or sidelined.50.This belief could negatively affect their chances for promotions and leadership opportunities. Looking ahead,flexible work arrangements are here to stay and will likely continue to evolve.51.Organizations should ensure equitable opportunities consistent with flexible work models,such as offering personalized arrangements instead of one-size-fits-all solutions A.This is where company policies can play a crucial role. B.But how are companies adapting to meet these expectations? C.It provides independence and freedom younger employees seek. D.Employers invest a lot in creating attractive work environments. E.While flexible work arrangements offer benefits,they also have drawbacks. F.Flexibility and work-life balance now outweigh financial rewards for many. G.Furthermore,those who prefer flexibility are often seen as less committed to their careers. 第四部分书面表达（共两节，27分） 第一节（共4小题；第52、53题各2分，第54题3分，第55题5分， 共12分) 阅读下面短文，根据题目要求用英文回答问题。请在答题卡指定区域 作答。 "An apple a day keeps the doctor away."We all know that healthy habits can help us build a strong body,but how can we live a happy life?Over the past two decades,scientists have identified many techniques to raise our happiness,but these methods cannot work magic."Things like poverty or injury are obviously going to affect your well-being,"says Laurie Santos,at Yale University."But for many of us,our happiness is much more under our control than we think."Her free course,The Science of Well-being,explores evidence-based ways to increase happiness. For a taste of what the course involves,consider our tendency to compare ourselves negatively with the people around us.By recognizing when those thoughts have started to arise,you can consciously shift the reference point to something more neutral().With this kind of thinking,you may start to feel more content. The use of gratitude journals,where you regularly count your blessing, work on a similar basis.We have a tendency for "hedonic adaptation", 第10页共11页 essentially getting used to the good things in our life over time,and taking them for granted,so they no longer bring us the same interest-we should delay that process. Other tips like small acts of kindness may surprise you with rewarding expericnce.However,those approaches to happier life should be used carefully. There is now some evidence that pursuit of happiness can have the opposite effect if it becomes time-consuming.Keeping a gratitude journal appears to be effective if it is used once a week.It seems that the technique may become a burden if it is practiced too regularly. There seems little doubt that we can learn to be happier,but we should recognize that the path to a better life is with ups and downs.You cannot remove every negative feeling,but with some science-backed strategies,you can shift the balance so as to experience more positive feeling than negative ones. 52.How can we deal with the tendency to compare ourselves negatively with those around us? 53.According to the passage,what is the consequence of hedonic adaptation? 54.Please decide which part is false in the following statement,then underline it and explain why. As approaches to a happier life,small acts of kindness can effectively improve our well-being,so we should use them as much as possible. 55.In addition to the methods mentioned in the passage,what other method(s) can you take to increase happiness?(In about 40 words) 第二节(15分) 假设你是红星中学高二学生李华。你校交换生Jim最近参加了学校的 班级体育联赛，在关键比赛中发挥失常，情绪低落，来信向你求助。请你 用英文给他回复，内容包括： 1.表示安慰； 2.提出建议： 注意：1.词数100左右； 2开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数。 Dear Jim, Yours, Li Hua (请务必将作文写在答题纸指定区域内) 第11页共11页
