第一节 （共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
Have you heard of these four monuments
Carhenge. Floralis Genérica. Traffic Light Tree. Hand of the Desert — these are four unusual monuments from around the world you might like to visit.
Carhenge
Carhenge is in Alliance, Nebraska (USA). As the name suggests, it has a lot in common with Stonehenge, the famous stone circle on Salisbury Plain. But while Stonehenge was built with stones, Carhenge was created with cars. The monument was made in 1987 by a local artist Jim Reinders and his family. He used old cars and even an ambulance. At first, the people of Alliance didn’t like it, but they soon changed their minds after it became popular with tourists, who brought lots of money to the town.
Floralis Genérica
Floralis Genérica is a massive statue of a flower. It stands in a pool of water in front of the National Museum of Fine Arts in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Eduardo Catalano, a native of Argentina, gave the statue as a gift to the city in 2002. Every morning, the flower opens. Ask anyone who has seen it and they’ll tell you that watching it open is an unforgettable sight. In fact, many people believe it is one of the most beautiful statues in the world.
Traffic Light Tree
The Traffic Light Tree is situated at Heron Quay, in one of London’s financial districts. The tree has 75 sets of traffic lights. It was created by French artist, Pierre Vivant, and was installed in 1998. A computer controls the lights, which are turned on and off randomly. The roundabout where the tree is was voted the most popular roundabout in the UK in a recent survey.
Mano del Desierto (Hand of the Desert)
The Hand of the Desert is in the Atacama Desert in Chile. The sculpture was designed by the Chilean sculptor Mario Irarrazabal. From a distance, it looks as if there’s a giant in the sand who has stuck his hand out of the ground.
If you’re looking for something new to see, you know where to go!
21．Why did the people of Alliance change their attitude toward Carhenge
A．It reminded them of Stonehenge. B．It brought them financial benefits.
C．It added beauty to their community. D．It displayed the creativity of the designer.
22．Which of the four monuments was designed by a foreign artist
A．Carhenge. B．Floralis Genérica.
C．Traffic Light Tree. D．Mano del Desierto.
23．Where is the text probably from
A．A guide book. B．A news report.
C．A science magazine. D．An architecture advertisement.
B
I came across an image recently of a distance runner with a message that told readers to persevere (坚持) at all costs. It reminded me of a conversation I had. My colleague’s teaching assistant was asking for my advice. He wanted to know when to quit something. He described how he’d been playing an online game with people for some time. It hadn’t been very fun lately, but there was always that small chance of a reward (upgraded equipment, etc).
I inquired further about his relationship with the players and his gains from the game. I then discussed the sunk cost dilemma, a concept I studied in advanced school due to its personal impact. In high school, I applied to five universities, planning to choose the cheapest one. SUU offered the best scholarship, and after paying a $100 commitment fee, I heard back from another school with an even better scholarship. Despite the new offer, I stayed committed to SUU, believing that switching schools, even if it meant acknowledging the “wasted” $ 100, would have been the wiser financial choice.
A rational (理性的) decision maker is not ruled by past investments, but weighs future outcomes. I didn’t focus on future outcomes when weighing colleges. I focused on the money I sunk into SUU. Rather than evaluating future career options, I focused on the fact that I’d already taken elementary education courses.
I’m not the only one that’s fallen prey to this. I wear clothes I dislike simply because I spent money on them (and that money won’t come back). Unhealthy relationships last because of the invested time (leading to more unhappy years). However, time, effort, or money that you’ve invested doesn’t mean you should continue. Society often stresses perseverance — never quit, never give up, don’t waste. However, only you know your right path. Walking away can be the toughest choice. You might realize a path you’re on is no longer the right one or never was.
24．Why does the author introduce a distance runner’s image at first
A．To make a contrast. B．To give a definition.
C．To draw a conclusion. D．To illustrate a theory.
25．What is the common characteristic of a rational decision maker
A．Following suit as most people. B．Taking elementary education.
C．Valuing the development in future. D．Overlooking past investments.
26．What does the underlined idiom “fallen prey to” mean in the last paragraph
A．Get benefits from. B．Be harmed by. C．Be interested in. D．Get rid of.
27．Which is the best title of the text
A．Perseverance is a virtue B．The chosen path is the toughest
C．Cut your losses for your winners D．Walking away means losing all
C
The days of just teaching kids their ABCs are long gone. Modern educators are tasked with the seemingly impossible responsibility of ensuring that today’s youth are academically prepared for life outside the classroom: being self-aware, self-managing, socially aware, relationship-building and responsible decision-makers who positively contribute to society. That is quite an ask!
Social-emotional learning (SEL) answers this call and delivers upon this tall order. It is a method to improve students’ intrapersonal (内心的), interpersonal, and cognitive competence. This process improves individual students’ skills and makes for a community of successful learners willing and able to positively contribute to society. This theory truly allows individuals to develop well.
SEL has effectively predicted positive school adjustment in the school setting, promoted learning engagement, minimized discipline problems, increased high school graduation rates, and promoted future employment and adult health. A core component of SEL is helping children understand their emotions. Further, not only is it vital that youngsters can identify various emotions, but they must also be able to manage the emotions they experience.
Developing an identity is necessary for maturing adults, and SEL satisfies this requirement, In assisting students in developing their identity, SEL helps to increase self-confidence, self-compassion, identification of strengths and needs, and recognition of needs, values, and judgments.
In the classroom. SEL has been shown to positively impact students’ attitudes, behaviors, and academic performance. Further, it decreases negative behaviors, such as being off-task or aggressive, and substance abuse. SEL enhances the learning environment and makes it a safe place for learning.
Not only is SEL critical for students’ mental health, but it is also important for teachers’ mental health. SEL increases teacher-reported effectiveness for behavior management and decreases reports of teacher burnout. Ultimately, SEL creates a calmer classroom environment, which makes educating students much easier.
28．What does the underlined word “That” in Paragraph 1 stand for
A．Teaching kids their ABCs. B．Preparing students for life beyond class.
C．All the hopes placed on students. D．Teaching students self-management.
29．What is mainly talked about in Paragraph 2
A．How to be a successful learner. B．How to meet the students’ needs.
C．What is needed for a community. D．What is social-emotional learning.
30．What is the most important part of SEL
A．Giving students a definite identity. B．Allowing students to predict their future.
C．Guaranteeing students’ future employment. D．Helping students understand and manage emotions.
31．What can we infer about SEL from the last paragraph
A．It is a win-win method. B．It is criticized by students.
C．It may make teachers tired. D．It is a magical tool for teachers.
D
Architects often spend months or even years perfecting a design to express their ideas more clearly, convey additional information, or outline the right proportions for a building. However, the urgent issue of climate change is placing new demands on their work. For example, in July, Super Typhoon Doksuri battered China, affecting more than 2.66 million people in Fujian Province alone.
Green architecture that conserves energy and reduces carbon dioxide emissions offers a solution, and concerted efforts have been made in diverse research fields over the past three decades to minimize heat loss. In addition, new buildings have to be tailored to the needs of people’s lifestyles.
Ren Jun, a professor at Tianjin University’s School of Architecture, who designed the first near-zero energy house in China in December 2019, said, “You can construct low-energy, environmentally-friendly houses, but if the interior design and environmental quality don’t meet residents’ requirements, these properties won’t be suitable to live in.”
The near-zero energy house, located-in Banbidian village in Beijing’s southern district of Daxing, won the International Design Award in the United States in January last year. The 400-square-meter property, which stands at the entrance to the village, runs on solar power gathered from rooftop panels, with the addition of a small amount of power from the grid (电网).
Ren said the first obstacle to conserving energy in the property was heat retention, which he attempted to achieve by keeping the indoor temperature at a certain level. The property is divided into five areas: a solar garden in the front yard, a central lounge, a water courtyard, a sponge zone, and a back room. For the exterior walls, Ren used three types of insulation (隔热层), including plastic foam, each about 25 centimeters thick.
Ren also looked for ways to deal with emissions at the house. He decided to install a ventilator, which pipes air that is polluted and replaces it with fresh air from outside in every room at the property.
Ren said it would take three to five years before more ultralow or near-zero energy buildings appeared in Chinese cities.
32．Which is not an important factor for designing green houses
A．Energy consumption. B．Carbon emission.
C．People’s lifestyle. D．Architecture style.
33．What can we conclude about the nero-zero energy house
A．The house consumes little electricity.
B．The house is deliberately designed to keep heat.
C．The house is equipped with many intelligent facilities.
D．The house is the first International Design Award-winning building in China.
34．What did Ren do to build up the house
A．He designed the house in five stories to trap heat in it.
B．He applied 75 centimeters of plastic foam to exterior walls.
C．He tailored the interior design to the demand of local people.
D．He installed a ventilator to cut down carbon dioxide emissions.
35．Which is the best title for the passage
A．Green Homes Offer Hope amid Climate Change
B．Green Houses Feature Near-Zero Energy Consumption
C．Ren Jun Won the International Design Award
D．China Strives for Low Carbon Strategy with Green Houses

Hop on the Silent Walking Trend
Silent walking involves walking outdoors without distractions like music or conversations, focusing on the mind-body-nature connection. 36 That’s a slower, lower-impact way to relax and is great for fitness. Here’s everything you need to know about the trend.
Select a natural setting and fully engage your senses. For reaping the mental health benefits, it is recommended to find a quiet and peaceful natural location. 37 Meanwhile, consciously observing the sights, sounds, smells, and physical sensations during the walk can significantly impact cognitive and emotional well-being.
To stimulate the mind, consider exploring different routes than usual. Without your favourite podcast or playlist, you might slip into boredom on your walk. 38 And it might even be good for your brain. Scientists applaud the virtues of boredom for brain health, believing that it boosts creativity and improves social connections. And if you do get bored, rest assured that it shows you’ve disconnected from external distractions. Go with it, and make sure you take a different route each time—it’ll keep you motivated.
Start off with five-minute silent walks and eventually build up to thirty minutes. If you’re usually a headphone wearer, it will feel super weird to walk without your go-to tunes, but give yourself a second to adjust. Chances are, once you’re a few minutes into your silent walk, you’ll feel the magic kick in. 39
Regular reflection and ongoing documentation are essential. After completing a silent walk, take time to reflect upon any emerging thoughts, feelings, or insights. 40 Journaling about the experience can also solidify connections between thoughts and ideas, providing a valuable tool for self-reflection and growth.
A．But being bored won’t hurt you.
B．Taking different paths can lead to exciting discoveries.
C．Adjusting the routine gradually can help ease into the experience.
D．You’ll also start noticing the little things around you more clearly.
E．They can deepen understanding and serve as a record of personal growth
F．Unlike exercise-oriented walking, it isn’t about reaching certain speed or steps
G．In such an environment, you can immerse yourself in the natural soundscape (音景) .

Now my sets differ. I might be on stage for 10 minutes in front of a dozen people, or my one-woman show is a full hour in front of a crowd of 100.
After a show, people young and old come up to me, saying what a(n) 53 I am. They say they want to be as active as me when they 54 my age. I’m pleased I can show that as an older person you don’t need to take a 55 seat in life.”

“Don’t bug me! Hug me!” Bumper Sticker Lee Shapiro is a retired judge. He is also one of the most genuinely loving people we know. At one point in his career, Lee realized that love is the greatest power there is. As a result, Lee became a hugger. He began offering everybody a hug. His colleagues dubbed him “the hugging judge”, which is opposed to the hanging judge. The bumper sticker on his car reads, “Don’t bug me! Hug me!”
About six years ago Lee created what he called his Hugger Kit. On the outside it reads “A heart for a hug.” The inside contains thirty little red embroidered hearts with stickers on the back. Lee will take out his Hugger Kit, go around to people and offer them a little red heart in exchange for a hug. Lee has become so well known for this that he is often invited to keynote conferences and conventions, where he shares his message of unconditional love.
At a conference in San Francisco, the local news media challenged him by saying, “It is easy to give out hugs here in the conference to people who self-selected to be here. But this would never work in the real world.” They challenged Lee to give away some hugs on the streets of San Francisco. Followed by a television crew from the local news station, Lee went out onto the street. First he approached a woman walking by. “Hi, I’m Lee Shapiro, the hugging judge. I’m giving out these hearts in exchange for a hug.” “Sure,” she replied. “Too easy,” challenged the local commentator. Lee looked around. He saw a meter maid who was being given a hard time by a traffic police, who was giving a ticket to her for illegal car parking. He marched up to her, camera crew in tow, and said, “You look like you could use a hug. I’m the hugging judge and I’m offering you one.” She delightedly accepted it. The television commentator threw down a more hug challenge to Lee.

1.续写词数应为150 左右；

第一节 （共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
Have you heard of these four monuments
Carhenge. Floralis Genérica. Traffic Light Tree. Hand of the Desert — these are four unusual monuments from around the world you might like to visit.
Carhenge
Carhenge is in Alliance, Nebraska (USA). As the name suggests, it has a lot in common with Stonehenge, the famous stone circle on Salisbury Plain. But while Stonehenge was built with stones, Carhenge was created with cars. The monument was made in 1987 by a local artist Jim Reinders and his family. He used old cars and even an ambulance. At first, the people of Alliance didn’t like it, but they soon changed their minds after it became popular with tourists, who brought lots of money to the town.
Floralis Genérica
Floralis Genérica is a massive statue of a flower. It stands in a pool of water in front of the National Museum of Fine Arts in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Eduardo Catalano, a native of Argentina, gave the statue as a gift to the city in 2002. Every morning, the flower opens. Ask anyone who has seen it and they’ll tell you that watching it open is an unforgettable sight. In fact, many people believe it is one of the most beautiful statues in the world.
Traffic Light Tree
The Traffic Light Tree is situated at Heron Quay, in one of London’s financial districts. The tree has 75 sets of traffic lights. It was created by French artist, Pierre Vivant, and was installed in 1998. A computer controls the lights, which are turned on and off randomly. The roundabout where the tree is was voted the most popular roundabout in the UK in a recent survey.
Mano del Desierto (Hand of the Desert)
The Hand of the Desert is in the Atacama Desert in Chile. The sculpture was designed by the Chilean sculptor Mario Irarrazabal. From a distance, it looks as if there’s a giant in the sand who has stuck his hand out of the ground.
If you’re looking for something new to see, you know where to go!
21．Why did the people of Alliance change their attitude toward Carhenge
A．It reminded them of Stonehenge. B．It brought them financial benefits.
C．It added beauty to their community. D．It displayed the creativity of the designer.
22．Which of the four monuments was designed by a foreign artist
A．Carhenge. B．Floralis Genérica.
C．Traffic Light Tree. D．Mano del Desierto.
23．Where is the text probably from
A．A guide book. B．A news report.
C．A science magazine. D．An architecture advertisement.
【答案】21．B 22．C 23．A
【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了四个不同寻常的雕塑。
21．细节理解题。由文章“ Carhenge”部分中“At first, the people of Alliance didn’t like it, but they soon changed their minds after it became popular with tourists, who brought lots of money to the town. (起初，阿联镇的人不喜欢它，但在它受到游客的欢迎后，他们很快就改变了主意，游客给小镇带来了很多钱。)”可知，那里的人改变了他们对巨车阵的态度，是因为它给他们带来了经济利益。故选B。
22．细节理解题。由文章“ Traffic Light Tree”部分中“The Traffic Light Tree is situated at Heron Quay, in one of London’s financial districts. The tree has 75 sets of traffic lights. It was created by French artist, Pierre Vivant, and was installed in 1998. (Traffic Light Tree位于伦敦金融区之一的Heron码头。这棵树有75组红绿灯。它由法国艺术家皮埃尔·维万特创作，于1998年安装。)”可知，Traffic Light Tree是由外国艺术家设计的。故选C。
23．推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是由文章第一段“Carhenge. Floralis Genérica. Traffic Light Tree. Hand of the Desert —these are four unusual monuments from around the world you might like to visit. (巨车阵，阿根廷钢花，交通灯树，沙漠之手——这是来自世界各地的四个不同寻常的雕塑，你可能会喜欢去参观。)”可知，文章介绍了世界各地四个不同寻常的雕塑；由此可推知，文章很可能来自一本旅游指南。故选A。
B
I came across an image recently of a distance runner with a message that told readers to persevere (坚持) at all costs. It reminded me of a conversation I had. My colleague’s teaching assistant was asking for my advice. He wanted to know when to quit something. He described how he’d been playing an online game with people for some time. It hadn’t been very fun lately, but there was always that small chance of a reward (upgraded equipment, etc).
I inquired further about his relationship with the players and his gains from the game. I then discussed the sunk cost dilemma, a concept I studied in advanced school due to its personal impact. In high school, I applied to five universities, planning to choose the cheapest one. SUU offered the best scholarship, and after paying a $100 commitment fee, I heard back from another school with an even better scholarship. Despite the new offer, I stayed committed to SUU, believing that switching schools, even if it meant acknowledging the “wasted” $ 100, would have been the wiser financial choice.
A rational (理性的) decision maker is not ruled by past investments, but weighs future outcomes. I didn’t focus on future outcomes when weighing colleges. I focused on the money I sunk into SUU. Rather than evaluating future career options, I focused on the fact that I’d already taken elementary education courses.
I’m not the only one that’s fallen prey to this. I wear clothes I dislike simply because I spent money on them (and that money won’t come back). Unhealthy relationships last because of the invested time (leading to more unhappy years). However, time, effort, or money that you’ve invested doesn’t mean you should continue. Society often stresses perseverance — never quit, never give up, don’t waste. However, only you know your right path. Walking away can be the toughest choice. You might realize a path you’re on is no longer the right one or never was.
24．Why does the author introduce a distance runner’s image at first
A．To make a contrast. B．To give a definition.
C．To draw a conclusion. D．To illustrate a theory.
25．What is the common characteristic of a rational decision maker
A．Following suit as most people. B．Taking elementary education.
C．Valuing the development in future. D．Overlooking past investments.
26．What does the underlined idiom “fallen prey to” mean in the last paragraph
A．Get benefits from. B．Be harmed by. C．Be interested in. D．Get rid of.
27．Which is the best title of the text
A．Perseverance is a virtue B．The chosen path is the toughest
C．Cut your losses for your winners D．Walking away means losing all
【答案】24．A 25．C 26．B 27．C
【导语】这是一篇夹叙夹议文，本文主要讨论了在决策时如何理性地考虑放弃，而不是盲目地坚持。作者通过个人经历和身边的例子，讨论了沉没成本谬误对决策的影响，并强调了决策时应当关注未来的收益而非过去的投入。
24．推理判断题。第一段中“I came across an image recently of a distance runner with a message that told readers to persevere (坚持) at all costs.(最近，我看到了一张长跑运动员的照片，上面写着一句话，告诉读者要不惜一切代价坚持下去)”作者引用跑步者的形象并提出“坚持到底”的信息是为了与文章中讨论的主题形成对比，即有时放弃是更合理的选择。因此，A项“为了形成对比”是正确答案。故选A。
25．细节理解题。第三段中“A rational (理性的) decision maker is not ruled by past investments, but weighs future outcomes.(理性的决策者不会被过去的投资所左右，而是权衡未来的结果)”指出他们不会受过去投资的影响，而是会权衡未来的结果。因此，C项“重视未来的发展”是正确答案。故选C。
26．词句猜测题。下文“I wear clothes I dislike simply because I spent money on them (and that money won’t come back). Unhealthy relationships last be- cause of the invested time (leading to more unhappy years).(我穿我不喜欢的衣服只是因为我花钱买的（而且这些钱不会再回来了）。不健康的关系之所以能持续下去，是因为投入了时间（导致更不快乐的岁月）”作者提到人们因为已经投入了时间、金钱或努力，即使不喜欢，也会继续穿一些衣服，或者维持不健康的关系。这表明“fall prey to”指的是受到某种事情的不良影响，因此B项“被……害”是正确答案。故选B。
27．主旨大意题。根据全文内容，结合最后一段中“Society often stresses perseverance — never quit, never give up, don’t waste. However, only you know your right path. Walking away can be the toughest choice. You might realize a path you’re on is no longer the right one or never was.(社会经常强调毅力——永不放弃，永不放弃，不浪费。然而，只有你自己知道正确的道路。离开可能是最艰难的选择。你可能会意识到你所走的道路不再是正确的，或者从来就不是)”可知，全文通过作者个人的例子以及对沉没成本谬误的讨论，指出了在合适的时候割舍损失的智慧，而不是盲目坚持。因此，C项“及时割舍损失是明智的”最能概括文章的中心思想。故选C。
C
The days of just teaching kids their ABCs are long gone. Modern educators are tasked with the seemingly impossible responsibility of ensuring that today’s youth are academically prepared for life outside the classroom: being self-aware, self-managing, socially aware, relationship-building and responsible decision-makers who positively contribute to society. That is quite an ask!
Social-emotional learning (SEL) answers this call and delivers upon this tall order. It is a method to improve students’ intrapersonal (内心的), interpersonal, and cognitive competence. This process improves individual students’ skills and makes for a community of successful learners willing and able to positively contribute to society. This theory truly allows individuals to develop well.
SEL has effectively predicted positive school adjustment in the school setting, promoted learning engagement, minimized discipline problems, increased high school graduation rates, and promoted future employment and adult health. A core component of SEL is helping children understand their emotions. Further, not only is it vital that youngsters can identify various emotions, but they must also be able to manage the emotions they experience.
Developing an identity is necessary for maturing adults, and SEL satisfies this requirement, In assisting students in developing their identity, SEL helps to increase self-confidence, self-compassion, identification of strengths and needs, and recognition of needs, values, and judgments.
In the classroom. SEL has been shown to positively impact students’ attitudes, behaviors, and academic performance. Further, it decreases negative behaviors, such as being off-task or aggressive, and substance abuse. SEL enhances the learning environment and makes it a safe place for learning.
Not only is SEL critical for students’ mental health, but it is also important for teachers’ mental health. SEL increases teacher-reported effectiveness for behavior management and decreases reports of teacher burnout. Ultimately, SEL creates a calmer classroom environment, which makes educating students much easier.
28．What does the underlined word “That” in Paragraph 1 stand for
A．Teaching kids their ABCs. B．Preparing students for life beyond class.
C．All the hopes placed on students. D．Teaching students self-management.
29．What is mainly talked about in Paragraph 2
A．How to be a successful learner. B．How to meet the students’ needs.
C．What is needed for a community. D．What is social-emotional learning.
30．What is the most important part of SEL
A．Giving students a definite identity. B．Allowing students to predict their future.
C．Guaranteeing students’ future employment. D．Helping students understand and manage emotions.
31．What can we infer about SEL from the last paragraph
A．It is a win-win method. B．It is criticized by students.
C．It may make teachers tired. D．It is a magical tool for teachers.
【答案】28．B 29．D 30．D 31．A
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了社交情绪学习（SEL）的概念以及应用。
28．词义猜测题。根据划线词前面的内容“Modern educators are tasked with the seemingly impossible responsibility of ensuring that today’s youth are academically prepared for life outside the classroom: being self-aware, self-managing, socially aware, relationship-building and responsible decision-makers who positively contribute to society. (现代教育工作者肩负着一项看似不可能的责任，那就是确保今天的年轻人在学术上为课堂之外的生活做好准备:成为自我意识、自我管理、社会意识、建立关系和负责任的决策者，为社会做出积极贡献。)”可知，现代教育工作者肩负着一项看似不可能的责任，那就是确保今天的年轻人在学术上为课堂之外的生活做好准备，冒号后为需要准备的内容。that指代上文提到的事情，故划线词指代的是“让学生们为课堂之外的生活做好准备”。故选B。
29．主旨大意题。根据第二段中“Social-emotional learning (SEL) answers this call and delivers upon this tall order. (社交情绪学习(Social-emotional learning, SEL)回应了这一要求，并完成了这一艰巨的任务。)”以及本段中“It is a method to improve students’ intrapersonal (内心的), interpersonal, and cognitive competence. (它是一种提高学生的人际交往能力和认知能力的方法。)”可知，本段引出了社交情绪学习的概念，下文开始介绍什么是社交情绪学习及其作用。所以本段主要探讨了什么是社交情绪学习。故选D。
30．细节理解题。根据第三段中“A core component of SEL is helping children understand their emotions. Further, not only is it vital that youngsters can identify various emotions, but they must also be able to manage the emotions they experience.( SEL的一个核心组成部分是帮助孩子理解他们的情绪。此外，至关重要的是，年轻人不仅能够识别各种情绪，而且他们还必须能够管理他们所经历的情绪。)”可知，SEL的一个核心组成部分是帮助孩子们理解情绪，进而管理情绪。故选D。
31．推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Not only is SEL critical for students’ mental health, but it is also important for teachers’ mental health. (SEL不仅对学生的心理健康至关重要，对教师的心理健康也很重要。)”可知，社交情绪学习不仅对学生重要，而且对老师的心理健康也很重要。由此可知，这是一个双赢的方法。故选A。
D
Architects often spend months or even years perfecting a design to express their ideas more clearly, convey additional information, or outline the right proportions for a building. However, the urgent issue of climate change is placing new demands on their work. For example, in July, Super Typhoon Doksuri battered China, affecting more than 2.66 million people in Fujian Province alone.
Green architecture that conserves energy and reduces carbon dioxide emissions offers a solution, and concerted efforts have been made in diverse research fields over the past three decades to minimize heat loss. In addition, new buildings have to be tailored to the needs of people’s lifestyles.
Ren Jun, a professor at Tianjin University’s School of Architecture, who designed the first near-zero energy house in China in December 2019, said, “You can construct low-energy, environmentally-friendly houses, but if the interior design and environmental quality don’t meet residents’ requirements, these properties won’t be suitable to live in.”
The near-zero energy house, located-in Banbidian village in Beijing’s southern district of Daxing, won the International Design Award in the United States in January last year. The 400-square-meter property, which stands at the entrance to the village, runs on solar power gathered from rooftop panels, with the addition of a small amount of power from the grid (电网).
Ren said the first obstacle to conserving energy in the property was heat retention, which he attempted to achieve by keeping the indoor temperature at a certain level. The property is divided into five areas: a solar garden in the front yard, a central lounge, a water courtyard, a sponge zone, and a back room. For the exterior walls, Ren used three types of insulation (隔热层), including plastic foam, each about 25 centimeters thick.
Ren also looked for ways to deal with emissions at the house. He decided to install a ventilator, which pipes air that is polluted and replaces it with fresh air from outside in every room at the property.
Ren said it would take three to five years before more ultralow or near-zero energy buildings appeared in Chinese cities.
32．Which is not an important factor for designing green houses
A．Energy consumption. B．Carbon emission.
C．People’s lifestyle. D．Architecture style.
33．What can we conclude about the nero-zero energy house
A．The house consumes little electricity.
B．The house is deliberately designed to keep heat.
C．The house is equipped with many intelligent facilities.
D．The house is the first International Design Award-winning building in China.
34．What did Ren do to build up the house
A．He designed the house in five stories to trap heat in it.
B．He applied 75 centimeters of plastic foam to exterior walls.
C．He tailored the interior design to the demand of local people.
D．He installed a ventilator to cut down carbon dioxide emissions.
35．Which is the best title for the passage
A．Green Homes Offer Hope amid Climate Change
B．Green Houses Feature Near-Zero Energy Consumption
C．Ren Jun Won the International Design Award
D．China Strives for Low Carbon Strategy with Green Houses
【答案】32．D 33．A 34．C 35．A
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。本文介绍了中国建筑师任俊设计的一座几乎零能耗的住宅，并讨论了绿色建筑对应对气候变化的重要性。
32．细节理解题。根据第一段中“Architects often spend months or even years perfecting a design to express their ideas more clearly, convey additional information, or outline the right proportions for a building.(建筑师经常花费数月甚至数年的时间来完善设计，以更清楚地表达他们的想法，传达额外的信息，或勾勒出建筑物的正确比例。)”可知，建筑师完善设计的目的是更清晰地表达他们的想法、传达更多信息，以及为建筑物提供适当的比例，没有提到建筑风格。故选D。
33．推理判断题。根据第四段“The near-zero energy house, located-in Banbidian village in Beijing’s southern district of Daxing, won the International Design Award in the United States in January last year. The 400-square-meter property, which stands at the entrance to the village, runs on solar power gathered from rooftop panels, with the addition of a small amount of power from the grid（电网）.( 这座接近零能耗的房子位于北京南区大兴的半壁店村，去年1月在美国获得了国际设计奖。这座400平方米的房子位于村庄的入口处，依靠屋顶电池板收集的太阳能发电，并从电网中获得少量电力。)”可知，这座房子是利用屋顶的太阳能发电，再加上一小部分电网电力。所以，这房子耗电很少。故选A。
34．推理判断题。根据第三段中任俊的话““You can construct low-energy, environmentally-friendly houses, but if the interior design and environmental quality don’t meet residents’ requirements, these properties won’t be suitable to live in.”(“你可以建造低能耗、环保的房子，但如果室内设计和环境质量不符合居民的要求，这些房子就不适合居住。”)”可知，任俊认为如果内部设计和环境质量不能满足居民的需求，这些住房就不适合居住即。由此推知，他会根据当地人的需求进行了房屋的室内设计。故选C。
35．主旨大意题。通读全文，结合第一段中“Architects often spend months or even years perfecting a design to express their ideas more clearly, convey additional information, or outline the right proportions for a building. However, the urgent issue of climate change is placing new demands on their work.(建筑师经常花费数月甚至数年的时间来完善设计，以更清楚地表达他们的想法，传达额外的信息，或勾勒出建筑物的正确比例。然而，气候变化的紧迫问题对他们的工作提出了新的要求。)”、第二段中“Green architecture that conserves energy and reduces carbon dioxide emissions offers a solution, and concerted efforts have been made in diverse research fields over the past three decades to minimize heat loss.(节约能源和减少二氧化碳排放的绿色建筑提供了一个解决方案，在过去的三十年里，不同的研究领域共同努力，尽量减少热量损失。)”和第四段中“Ren Jun, a professor at Tianjin University’s School of Architecture, who designed the first near-zero energy house in China in December 2019(任俊，天津大学建筑学院教授，他于2019年12月设计了中国第一座接近零能耗的房子)”可知，本文介绍了中国建筑师任俊设计的一座几乎零能耗的绿色住宅，为应对气候变化带来希望。故A项“Green Homes Offer Hope amid Climate Change(绿色住宅在气候变化中带来希望)”概括文章主要内容，是最佳标题。故选A。
第二节（共5小题：每小题2. 5分, 满分12. 5分）
阅读下面短文, 从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Hop on the Silent Walking Trend
Silent walking involves walking outdoors without distractions like music or conversations, focusing on the mind-body-nature connection. 36 That’s a slower, lower-impact way to relax and is great for fitness. Here’s everything you need to know about the trend.
Select a natural setting and fully engage your senses. For reaping the mental health benefits, it is recommended to find a quiet and peaceful natural location. 37 Meanwhile, consciously observing the sights, sounds, smells, and physical sensations during the walk can significantly impact cognitive and emotional well-being.
To stimulate the mind, consider exploring different routes than usual. Without your favourite podcast or playlist, you might slip into boredom on your walk. 38 And it might even be good for your brain. Scientists applaud the virtues of boredom for brain health, believing that it boosts creativity and improves social connections. And if you do get bored, rest assured that it shows you’ve disconnected from external distractions. Go with it, and make sure you take a different route each time—it’ll keep you motivated.
Start off with five-minute silent walks and eventually build up to thirty minutes. If you’re usually a headphone wearer, it will feel super weird to walk without your go-to tunes, but give yourself a second to adjust. Chances are, once you’re a few minutes into your silent walk, you’ll feel the magic kick in. 39
Regular reflection and ongoing documentation are essential. After completing a silent walk, take time to reflect upon any emerging thoughts, feelings, or insights. 40 Journaling about the experience can also solidify connections between thoughts and ideas, providing a valuable tool for self-reflection and growth.
A．But being bored won’t hurt you.
B．Taking different paths can lead to exciting discoveries.
C．Adjusting the routine gradually can help ease into the experience.
D．You’ll also start noticing the little things around you more clearly.
E．They can deepen understanding and serve as a record of personal growth
F．Unlike exercise-oriented walking, it isn’t about reaching certain speed or steps
G．In such an environment, you can immerse yourself in the natural soundscape (音景) .
【答案】36．F 37．G 38．A 39．C 40．E
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了静默行走这一趋势，探讨了如何进行静默行走，以及这种行走方式对健康的好处，特别是对促进认知和情感福祉的潜在影响。
36．上文“Silent walking involves walking outdoors without distractions like music or conversations, focusing on the mind-body-nature connection.(静默行走包括在户外行走，不受音乐或对话等干扰，专注于身心自然的联系)”以及下文“That’s a slower, lower-impact way to relax and is great for fitness. Here’s everything you need to know about the trend.(这是一种较慢、影响较小的放松方式，非常适合健身。以下是您需要了解的有关趋势的所有信息)”说明静默行走是一种适合健身的运动方式。空处补充上文内容，并引出下文。F项中的it指代前文中的Silent walking，“reaching certain speed or steps”和下文中的“That’s a slower, lower-impact way”相呼应，说明静默行走不关注到特定的速度或步数，而是以一种较慢、影响较小的放松方式行走。所以F项“与以锻炼为导向的行走不同，它不关注达到特定的速度或步数”符合语境。故选F。
37．上文“Select a natural setting and fully engage your senses. For reaping the mental health benefits, it is recommended to find a quiet and peaceful natural location. (选择一个自然的环境，充分利用你的感官。为了获得心理健康的好处，建议找一个安静、宁静的自然地点)”说明静默行走需要选择找一个安静、宁静的自然地点。空处与前文内容形成因果逻辑关系，G项中的“In such an environment”和前文中的“a quiet and peaceful natural location”相呼应，说明在这样安静和自然的环境下，你就可以沉浸在自然的音景中。故选G。
38．上文“To stimulate the mind, consider exploring different routes than usual. Without your favourite podcast or playlist, you might slip into boredom on your walk. (为了刺激大脑，可以考虑探索与平时不同的路线。如果没有你最喜欢的播客或播放列表，你可能会在散步时陷入无聊)”说明如果平时喜欢博客等，在静默散步时就会感到无聊。空处和前文形成转折关系，所以提出的“无聊的积极影响”提供铺垫。A项中的But引出了与上文相对的观点，表明尽管无聊可能被视为不愉快的体验，但它并非有害，这为下文科学家对无聊的积极评价提供了逻辑上的衔接。A项“But being bored won’t hurt you.”符合语境。故选A。
39．上文“If you’re usually a headphone wearer, it will feel super weird to walk without your go-to tunes, but give yourself a second to adjust. Chances are, once you’re a few minutes into your silent walk, you’ll feel the magic kick in.(如果你通常是一个戴耳机的人，在没有音乐的情况下走路会感觉非常奇怪，但给自己一秒钟的时间来调整。很有可能，当你安静地散步几分钟后，你会感觉到神奇的力量开始了)”说明当你调整自己去接受静默行走时，你会发现它神奇的力量。空处是对上文的承接，并呼应段落主题。空格所在的段落讨论了开始进行静默行走的建议，从五分钟开始，逐渐增加到三十分钟。C项“逐渐调整常规可以帮助轻松进入体验”符合语境，与上文提到的从短时间开始逐步增加时间相呼应，说明逐步调整可以帮助人们适应没有音乐的行走。故选C。
40．上文“After completing a silent walk, take time to reflect upon any emerging thoughts, feelings, or insights. (在完成一次静默行走后，花时间反思任何新出现的想法、感受或见解)”说明在完成静默行走后需要做出反思。空处与前文内容形成逻辑上的解释关系，说明反思的重要性。E项中的They指代前文中的“any emerging thoughts, feelings, or insights”，说明E“它们可以加深理解并作为个人成长的记录”符合语境，与上文建议的反思活动相呼应，强调了记录这些想法、感受或领悟对于加深个人理解和记录个人成长的重要性。故选E。
第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分）
第一节（共15小题：每小题1分，满分15分）
阅读下面短文, 从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
I was 68 when I first stepped on stage as a standup comedian in 2003. I’d never set foot in a comedy 41 before. I’ve always been a(n) 42 — I’ve worked as a singer, actor and musician — but all that came to an end after 9/11. I live in New York, and we watched the 43 towers fall from my apartment building. For a year afterwards, nobody wanted to go out or be 44 .
It was then that I started to think about comedy. I realised people needed to laugh, to enjoy themselves again, and thought that with a little 45 I could do it. I took a few classes, tried to work out a routine, and finally 46 the courage to get up on stage. That first time was terrifying. I had no idea what the audience would 47 of me.
In New York, comedians are 48 young men with beards. It’s hard enough to 49 through as a woman, even harder as someone old enough to be their grandmother. As I stepped on stage that first time, people laughed nervously. They were clearly 50 to see me. I introduced myself, stated my age and tried my first joke. There was 51 .

第二节（满分25分）
67. 阅读下面材料, 根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段, 使之构成一篇完整的短文。
“Don’t bug me! Hug me!” Bumper Sticker Lee Shapiro is a retired judge. He is also one of the most genuinely loving people we know. At one point in his career, Lee realized that love is the greatest power there is. As a result, Lee became a hugger. He began offering everybody a hug. His colleagues dubbed him “the hugging judge”, which is opposed to the hanging judge. The bumper sticker on his car reads, “Don’t bug me! Hug me!”
About six years ago Lee created what he called his Hugger Kit. On the outside it reads “A heart for a hug.” The inside contains thirty little red embroidered hearts with stickers on the back. Lee will take out his Hugger Kit, go around to people and offer them a little red heart in exchange for a hug. Lee has become so well known for this that he is often invited to keynote conferences and conventions, where he shares his message of unconditional love.
At a conference in San Francisco, the local news media challenged him by saying, “It is easy to give out hugs here in the conference to people who self-selected to be here. But this would never work in the real world.” They challenged Lee to give away some hugs on the streets of San Francisco. Followed by a television crew from the local news station, Lee went out onto the street. First he approached a woman walking by. “Hi, I’m Lee Shapiro, the hugging judge. I’m giving out these hearts in exchange for a hug.” “Sure,” she replied. “Too easy,” challenged the local commentator. Lee looked around. He saw a meter maid who was being given a hard time by a traffic police, who was giving a ticket to her for illegal car parking. He marched up to her, camera crew in tow, and said, “You look like you could use a hug. I’m the hugging judge and I’m offering you one.” She delightedly accepted it. The television commentator threw down a more hug challenge to Lee.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150 左右；

He had never before hugged people who were severely terminally ill as Leonard.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Doctors said it was the first time that they had seen Leonard smile.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 He had never before hugged people who were severely terminally ill as Leonard. Through taking to doctors, Lee learned that Leonard, once an optimistic and happy boy, had suffered from severe leukemia two years earlier. Approaching the ward, Lee took a deep breath, leaned down and gave Leonard a hug. Surprisingly, Leonard began to smile. And some of the other patients in the room began to gather around. Lee turned to the staff for some sort of explanation only to find every doctor, nurse and orderly crying. Lee asked the doctors, “What’s going on ”
Doctors said it was the first time that they had seen Leonard smile. Upon hearing the doctor’s words, Lee could not control his emotions. Countless people as he had hugged before, this hug would surely leave the deepest memory for him. Every weekend, Lee made time to hug the boy with the television commentator recording every touching hug movement. Loved by a stranger, the boy was positive to receive treatment and he gradually picked up. If everyone can offer their own hug, the world will become more beautiful. How simple it is to make a difference to lives of others!
【导语】本文以人物拥抱为线索展开，Bumper Sticker Lee Shapiro是一位退休的法官，意识到爱的力量是伟大的，他开始主动拥抱别人，又被称之为“拥抱法官”，他不仅创造了“拥抱箱”还在当地新闻电视摄制组的跟踪上走向接头去拥抱别人，他以前从未像拥抱Leonard那样拥抱过身患绝症的人，当他拥抱了这个身患白血病的孩子后，Leonard居然微笑了，电视台也跟踪记录，男孩在积极治疗后身体状态好起来。有时候，只需要小小的举动就能影响这个世界。
【详解】1.段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“他以前从未像莱纳德那样拥抱过身患绝症的人。”可知，第一段可描写Lee拥抱Leonard及男孩、病友和医护人员的反应。
②由第二段首句内容“医生说这是他们第一次看到伦纳德微笑。”可知，第二段可描写Lee听到男孩第一次微笑的感受及决定继续拥抱男孩，电视台跟踪报道及感悟。
2.续写线索：询问男孩病情——拥抱男孩——男孩反应——旁人反应——Lee的感受——继续拥抱——跟踪报道——感悟
3.词汇激活

②拥抱：give a hug/extend a hug

【点睛】[高分句型1] Approaching the ward, Lee took a deep breath, leaned down and gave Leonard a hug. （由现在分词作状语和动词链结构）
[高分句型2] Countless people as he had hugged before, this hug would surely leave the deepest memory for him.（让步状语从句倒装结构）
