M: Hello, everyone. We are lucky to have Molly Taylor here today. Molly is organizing an activity course for the summer holidays. Molly, this is the second year of the course, isn’t it
W: Yes. The summer course operated for the first time last year for a six-week period. We did think about making it longer this year and have a seven-week course, as there are some schools which finish the term a week earlier. In fact, two schools have eight-week holidays. But in the end we decided to keep to the same plan as last year.
M: But, from what I have been told, last year’s course wasn’t a complete success, was it
W: Well, we were actually very surprised by the number of children interested in the course. We didn’t actually have enough assistants to look after all the children. Besides, there was such a lot of rain that we couldn’t go outside as often as we wanted to.
M: So, what activities can the children look forward to this year
W: Well, once again there will be artists and musicians who will lead creative classes. We also considered providing some more exciting adventure sports. But we decided not to, in the end. Instead we’ll introduce some fun programmes. I think it’ll be great fun for the children.
Text 10
　　M: A guide named Persephone welcomes travellers to Greece and takes them through a famous cave. The guide moves smoothly around the underground area and can talk about it in 33 languages. Persephone is very intelligent. It’s a human-sized robot. It can give its part of the tour in 33 languages. It can also answer 33 questions, but only in the Greek language.
　　Persephone guides visitors to the first three of eight stops along the walkway. It can do two more stops, but it is too slow for the tour. Kartalis is considering ways to increase its speed.
　　Evdokia Karafera is a human guide who partners with Persephone. “It’s helpful, because it speaks many languages,” she said. “There’s just a little delay in the touring,” she added. “Most find it fascinating, especially the children, and find it interesting that it speaks many languages.” Karafera noted, however, that human tour guides must remain part of the operation. “Robots, at some point in the future, will take over many jobs,” she said. “But I believe they cannot replace humans everywhere.”

第一节
A
【文章大意】 本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了迪拜一日游的行程安排,包括在迪拜塔的高空餐厅用餐、在无边泳池游泳、在风筝海滩享受阳光以及拍摄迪拜天际线的照片等活动。
21.D　细节理解题。根据Have a sky-high supper部分的“Combine dining with the views from Burj Khalifa Tower (迪拜塔) by booking a table at At.Mosphere on the 122nd floor.”和Swim above the city部分的“Have a refreshing swim at Aura Skypool, which offers 360-degree views from 50 floors up.”可知,At.Mosphere和Aura Skypool的共同点在于它们都是绝佳的观景点,可以看到下面的景色。故选D项。
22.C　细节理解题。根据Enjoy the beach部分的“Steal sunshine on the white sands of Kite Beach, with its views of another symbol of Dubai’s skyline: the sail-shaped Burj Al Arab (阿拉伯塔酒店).”可知,Kite Beach是一个海滩,游客可以在这里享受阳光和沙滩,而不是在高处观赏景色。由此可知,对于害怕高度的游客来说,Kite Beach是一个合适的选择。故选C项。
23.A　推理判断题。文章主要介绍了迪拜一日游的行程安排。由此可推知,这篇文章最可能出现在旅游手册中。故选A项。
B
【文章大意】 本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了Uncle Green通过社区回收计划资助学生奖学金,以促进教育发展和环境保护。
24.D　细节理解题。根据第一段中“Noticing a lack of enthusiasm for reading among the youth, he was determined to make a difference.”可知Uncle Green注意到了青年人不愿阅读的问题,决定做出改变,即启动奖学金计划。故选D。
25.C　细节理解题。根据第三段中“His innovative solution emerged in 2002 when he launched a scholarship fund fuelled by the community’s recycling efforts. This initiative not only provided financial aid to students but also actively engaged the community in a collective environmental and educational effort.”可知,Uncle Green通过社区回收活动为奖学金计划提供了资金,这一举措不仅为学生提供了经济援助,而且还积极地使社区参与到环境和教育的集体努力中,即实现了可持续性。故选C。
26.D　推理判断题。根据第五段中“Success stories, such as that of a doctoral student in Electrical Engineering and a student attending a famous university, are a testament (证明) to the programme’s impact.” (一些成功的故事,比如电气工程专业的博士生和一所著名大学的学生,都证明了该项目的影响。)可知,作者提到这两个学生的目的是展示Uncle Green倡议的成功。故选D。
27.A　推理判断题。根据最后一段“Uncle Green’s story is a powerful example of how individual initiative and community cooperation can lead to sustainable change. It demonstrates the harmony between traditional values and modern social needs, providing a model for communities worldwide.”可知,Uncle Green的故事告诉我们个人的主动性和社区合作可以带来可持续的变化即告诉我们团结和创新能够带来持久的改变。故选A。
C
【文章大意】 本文是一篇说明文。文章探讨了初次交谈对人际关系发展的巨大影响,指出人们在初次交谈后常常对自己留给对方的印象感到不安。文章强调的是:人们可能比你想象的更喜欢你,我们应该更加自信地与人交往。
28.B　段落大意题。根据第二段中“In our studies, participants in the UK talked with someone they had never met before. Afterwards, they were asked how much they liked their conversation partner and how much they believed that their conversation partner liked them. This allowed us to compare how much people believed they were liked to how much they were actually liked.”可知,本段解释了研究过程即人们在初次交谈后常常对自己留给对方的印象感到不安,为了找出这些担忧是否必要,作者进行了近10年的研究。因此本段是在讲述研究的过程。故选B项。
29.C　细节理解题。根据第四段中“Surprisingly, the liking gap can constantly affect a variety of relationships, including interactions with co-workers, long after the initial conversations have taken place. Having a larger liking gap is associated with being less willing to ask workmates for help, less willing to provide workmates with open and honest feedback, and less willing to work on another project together.”可知,更大的好感认知差距与不太愿意向同事寻求帮助、不太愿意向同事提供开放和诚实的反馈以及不太愿意一起合作另一个项目有关,这些行为都指向了较差的人际关系。故人们的“好感认知差距”产生的影响是较差的人际关系。故选C项。
30.D　词义猜测题。根据画线短语前文“Try to direct your attention to your conversation partner, be genuinely curious about them, ask them more questions, and really listen to their answers.”以及画线短语所在句“…and the less you focus on yourself, the better your conversation will be and the less your mind will turn to all the things you think you didn’t do well.”可知,此处建议尝试把注意力转移到谈话对象的身上,而不是专注于自己,当你更专注于对方而不是自己时,你的对话会更好,你的思维也不会总是转到你认为你没有做好的事情上。故画线短语与D选项(专注于)为同义词。故选D项。
31.C　主旨大意题。根据第一段“Initial conversations can have a huge impact on how relationships develop over time. People are often stuck in the impressions they think they might have made the minute they finish speaking with someone for the first time…”以及通读全文可知,文章讨论了人们常常低估自己在初次交谈中给对方留下的印象,即存在“好感认知差距”,并提出了减少这种感受的策略。因此文章强调:你不需要过分担心自己给别人的印象,因为别人可能比你想象的更喜欢你。C选项(人们可能比你想象的更喜欢你)概括文章主要内容,符合标题。故选C项。
D
【文章大意】 本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一项关于自然对人类大脑产生的影响的研究结果。研究发现,接近自然环境会使与压力相关的大脑区域杏仁核的活动减少,因此对大脑和心理健康有益。研究人员目前正在进行一项研究,探究自然环境对母亲和婴儿的压力的影响方式。
32.A　细节理解题。根据第一段的“Living in a city is a well-known risk factor for developing a mental disorder, while living close to nature is largely beneficial for mental health and the brain…namely whether nature actually caused the effects in the brain or whether the particular individuals chose to live in rural or urban regions,’ says Sonja Sudimac.”可知,“先有鸡还是先有蛋的问题”意味着生活环境对精神健康的影响很难说清楚。故选A项。
33.D　细节理解题。根据第二段的“To achieve causal evidence, the researchers from the group examined brain activity in regions involved in stress processing in 63 healthy volunteers before and after a one-hour walk in Grunewald forest or a shopping street with traffic in Berlin. The results revealed that activity in the amygdala decreased after the walk in nature, suggesting that nature has beneficial effects on brain regions related to stress.”可知,研究人员通过比较志愿者的杏仁核活动来为这项研究搜集证据。故选D项。
34.A　细节理解题。根据第三段的“The results support the previously assumed positive relationship between nature and brain health, but this is the first study to prove the causal link.”可知,Simone及其团队的主要贡献是证实了自然对大脑健康有益的假设。故选A项。
35.C　推理判断题。根据最后一段“In order to investigate beneficial effects of nature in different populations and age groups, the researchers are currently working on a study examining how a one-hour walk in natural versus urban environments impacts stress in mothers and their babies.”可知,后续研究的重点为调查自然环境对不同人群和年龄组的有益影响,故选C项。
第二节
【文章大意】 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要解释了色彩心理如何影响宴会客人。
36.F　上文“But it’s not all about the quality of the ingredients and the skills of the cook.”和下文“Whether it is a plate, a glass, a bowl or a cup, colour makes a significant impact on your guests.”说明除了菜肴的质量,餐具的颜色也会对客人产生影响。选项F“餐具也是必不可少的元素,尤其是颜色。”起到过渡作用,承上启下。故选F。
37.A　下文“After that first impression, the brain integrates the visual information and affects perception(感知), making you think that the same food is excellent, good or average.”说明在第一印象之后,大脑整合视觉信息并影响感知,此处应为与对食物的第一印象相关的句子,选项A“它从你的视觉开始。”引起下文,对食物的第一印象从视觉开始,在第一印象之后,大脑整合视觉信息并影响感知。故选A。
38.G　上文“Picky eaters tend to perceive meals in red and blue bowls as saltier compared to white. And they are more unwilling to try new food in a red bowl.”说明针对挑剔的客人要挑选好餐具的颜色,选项G“因此,对于要求苛刻的客人,先选择餐具的颜色。”承接上文,是对上文的总结。故选G。
39.B　上文“For desserts, white is ideal because it increases flavours and enhances sweetness.”与下文“Serving food in a black bowl can increase perceptions of its saltiness and portion size.”存在转折的关系,空处应用表示转折的逻辑关系,选项B“但深色盘子的结果会有所不同。”表示转折关系,承上启下。故选B。
40.E　上文“To bring extra aesthetic (审美的) appeal, creativity and to highlight foods lacking in colour, you can serve your meal on bright plates. But be careful!”说明用明亮的盘子上菜,可以带来审美吸引力和创造力并突出缺乏颜色的食物,但是要小心;下文与上文构成转折关系,明确要小心的内容。选项E“食物的外观应该根据餐食的不同而看起来更生动。”承接上文,说明了要小心的内容,同时引出下文“Similar ingredient colours to the tableware make everything integrate together and your guests think they have less food.”进一步解释说明要小心的内容。故选E。

第一节
One possible version:
Dear Lucia,
To promote Chinese hanfu culture, our class held an activity in the city park last Saturday. I know you are interested in hanfu, so I am writing to share with you the activity.
We all wore hanfu and took our school bus to the city park in the morning. In the park we demonstrated the etiquette of hanfu, performed dances of the Tang Dynasty, and took photos with passers-by. Besides, we showed hanfu styles of different dynasties as well as the rich culture behind them.
With our work, many people got to know more about hanfu. All of us felt excited and fulfilled at the end of the day. What a pity you were not with us! Attached are some activity photos. I really hope you’ll like them.
Yours,
Li Hua
第二节
【思路点拨】 本文以人物为线索展开,讲述了作者将自己的车钥匙和手机都锁在车中,感到非常沮丧的时候,一位少年主动提供了帮助的故事。
【详解】
1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“那个少年只是笑了笑,他的脸上带着坚定的神情。”以及第二段首句内容“我深受感动,把手伸进口袋,急切地想给他一些钱。”可知,第一段可描写少年如约为作者送来了备用钥匙。
②由第二段首句内容“我深受感动,把手伸进口袋,急切地想给他一些钱。”可知,第二段可描写作者非常感动少年给自己的帮助。
2.续写线索:少年主动提出帮作者取钥匙—少年取来备用钥匙—作者非常感动。
One possible version:
The teenager simply smiled, with a determined look on his face. “Don’t worry about it. I’ll go and bring the key myself.” I was taken aback by his selflessness. Gratitude welled up within me, and I could only manage a heartfelt “Thank you.” With that, the teenager pedalled away, his figure growing smaller in the distance. An hour passed. Filled with restless anticipation, I saw him approaching. In his outstretched hand, he held the salvation of my locked car—the spare key. Relief washed over me as I took it from him, marvelling at his firm commitment to helping a stranger in need.
Deeply moved, I reached into my pocket, eager to offer him some money. But as I extended the money towards him, he shook his head, refusing any reward. “Let’s just say I needed the exercise,” he said with a mischievous grin, his eyes sparkling with youthful energy. With a nod of gratitude, I bid him farewell as he rode off into the sunset. As I drove away in my newly unlocked car, I couldn’t help but reflect on the unexpected encounter. The memory of the selfless teenager’s seven-mile journey would forever be engraved in my mind, serving as a reminder to always be ready to lend a hand to those in need.单元素养测评卷(四)

A[2024·江苏淮安高二期末]
Dubai, make your day!
Thanks to global connections, Dubai has become an ideal destination for refreshing yourself. Here’s how to plan a one-day trip with wow factors.
Have a sky-high supper
Combine dining with the views from Burj Khalifa Tower (迪拜塔) by booking a table at At.Mosphere on the 122nd floor. The observation area is just above this restaurant, where you’ll enjoy the incredible views with fewer crowds. And with cuisine described as “top drawer”, it is sure to be lunch, afternoon tea or dinner you’ll never forget.
Swim above the city
Have a refreshing swim at Aura Skypool, which offers 360-degree views from 50 floors up. From here, the Palm Island (棕榈岛) and the sea sparkles become clear to see. In addition to its daytime sessions, it hosts sunrise swims and early morning yoga, as well as night bookings until 11 pm.
Enjoy the beach
Steal sunshine on the white sands of Kite Beach, with its views of another symbol of Dubai’s skyline: the sail-shaped Burj Al Arab (阿拉伯塔酒店). The beach is free to visit in the daytime. Alternatively, Kitesurf School Dubai offers a variety of sea sports in the afternoon.
Photograph that skyline
Aperture photo tours arrange for a local photographer to guide you to capture breathtaking views from the Vertical Forest being built in Downtown to Dubai Marina (迪拜码头). The tours are private and available in the afternoon; all you need is a camera and a head for heights.
(　)21.What do At.Mosphere and Aura Skypool have in common
A.They offer the top-ranking cuisine.

In a scenic community, a man known as Uncle Green has redefined the concept of waste. As a yam bean farmer, Uncle Green had a deep respect for education, coming from his own unfulfilled academic eagerness. Noticing a lack of enthusiasm for reading among the youth, he was determined to make a difference.
In 1997, he established a scholarship programme initially funded by the local community, including contributions from other patrons. However, Uncle Green realized the need for a sustainable approach to support both education and the environment.
His innovative solution emerged in 2002 when he launched a scholarship fund fuelled by the community’s recycling efforts. This initiative not only provided financial aid to students but also actively engaged the community in a collective environmental and educational effort. The programme grew rapidly, transforming recyclables into educational scholarships and promoting a culture of sustainability.
Today, the community awards students scholarships annually during the Mid-Autumn Festival, benefiting students from a wide range of educational backgrounds. The initiative has recycled 60 tons of materials each year, fostering a spirit of volunteerism and responsibility.
Success stories, such as that of a doctoral student in Electrical Engineering and a student attending a famous university, are a testament (证明) to the programme’s impact. These students have not only achieved academically but also expressed a desire to contribute to their community.
Over two decades since its foundation, Uncle Green’s vision continues to inspire. The Community Development Association upholds his legacy by awarding scholarships to an increasing number of students. The collective effort has cultivated (培养) a love for reading and a commitment to sustainable living among the youth.
Uncle Green’s story is a powerful example of how individual initiative and community cooperation can lead to sustainable change. It demonstrates the harmony between traditional values and modern social needs, providing a model for communities worldwide.

Initial conversations can have a huge impact on how relationships develop over time. People are often stuck in the impressions they think they might have made the minute they finish speaking with someone for the first time: Did they like me or were they just being polite Were they deep in thought or deeply bored
To find out whether these worries are necessary, we have conducted nearly 10 years of research. In our studies, participants in the UK talked with someone they had never met before. Afterwards, they were asked how much they liked their conversation partner and how much they believed that their conversation partner liked them. This allowed us to compare how much people believed they were liked to how much they were actually liked.
Time and time again, we found that people left their conversations with negative feelings about the impression they made. That is, people systematically underestimate how much their conversation partners like them and enjoy their company—a false belief we call the “liking gap”.
This bias (偏见) may seem like something that would occur only in initial interactions, but its effects extend far beyond a first impression. Surprisingly, the liking gap can constantly affect a variety of relationships, including interactions with co-workers, long after the initial conversations have taken place. Having a larger liking gap is associated with being less willing to ask workmates for help, less willing to provide workmates with open and honest feedback, and less willing to work on another project together.
There are numerous strategies to minimize your biased feelings. One place to start is shifting your focus of attention. Try to direct your attention to your conversation partner, be genuinely curious about them, ask them more questions, and really listen to their answers. The more you zero in on the other person, and the less you focus on yourself, the better your conversation will be and the less your mind will turn to all the things you think you didn’t do well.
(　)28.What does Paragraph 2 mainly talk about
A.The research motivation.
B.The research progress.
C.The research assumption.
D.The research conclusion.
(　)29.What is one effect of people’s liking gap

B.Underestimation of their ability.

D.Lack of interest in social engagement.
(　)30.What can the underlined words “zero in on” in the last paragraph be replaced by
A.Are crazy about. B.Are disappointed at.
C.Are surprised by. D.Are targeted at.
(　)31.Which might be the best title for the text
A.Liking gap may influence social performances
B.Initial conversations decide first impressions
C.People probably like you more than you think
D.How people like you matters less than you assume

Living in a city is a well-known risk factor for developing a mental disorder, while living close to nature is largely beneficial for mental health and the brain. A central brain region, the amygdala (大脑杏仁核) involved in stress processing, has been shown to be less activated during stress in people living in rural areas, compared to those who live in cities, indicating the potential benefits of nature. “But so far the hen-and-egg problem could not be solved, namely whether nature actually caused the effects in the brain or whether the particular individuals chose to live in rural or urban regions,” says Sonja Sudimac.
To achieve causal evidence, the researchers from the group examined brain activity in regions involved in stress processing in 63 healthy volunteers before and after a one-hour walk in Grunewald forest or a shopping street with traffic in Berlin. The results revealed that activity in the amygdala decreased after the walk in nature, suggesting that nature has beneficial effects on brain regions related to stress.
“The results support the previously assumed positive relationship between nature and brain health, but this is the first study to prove the causal link. Interestingly, the brain activity after the urban walk in these regions remained stable and showed no increases, which argues against a commonly held view that urban exposure causes additional stress,” explains Simone Kühn, head of the group.
The authors show that nature has a positive impact on brain regions involved in stress processing and that it can already be observed after a one-hour walk. This contributes to the understanding of how our physical living environment affects brain and mental health. Even a short exposure to nature decreases amygdala activity, suggesting that a walk in nature could serve as a preventive measure against developing mental health problems and reducing the potentially disadvantageous impact of the city on the brain.
In order to investigate beneficial effects of nature in different populations and age groups, the researchers are currently working on a study examining how a one-hour walk in natural versus urban environments impacts stress in mothers and their babies.
(　)32.What does the hen-and-egg problem refer to
A.A problem hard to clarify.
B.A problem easy to deal with.
C.A problem common to be seen.
D.A problem unnecessary to solve.
(　)33.How did researchers collect evidence for the study
A.By quoting authoritative experts.
B.By interviewing healthy volunteers.
C.By researching on a previous theory.
D.By comparing volunteers’ amygdala activities.
(　)34.What contribution did Simone’s team mainly make
A.Confirming nature’s benefits to brain health.
B.Supporting a common view of urban exposure.
C.Revealing the link between age and mental health.
D.Identifying the causes of mental health problems.
(　)35.What may the follow-up research focus on
A.Benefits of a regular walk in nature.
B.An appeal for living in urban regions.
C.Nature’s positive effects on different groups.
D.Relationship between nature and brain health.

How colour psychology influences your dinner party guests
After spending hours cooking and preparing the table setting for your guests, you hope that everyone enjoys your recipes. But it’s not all about the quality of the ingredients and the skills of the cook. 36.　　　　 Whether it is a plate, a glass, a bowl or a cup, colour makes a significant impact on your guests.
37.　　　　 After that first impression, the brain integrates the visual information and affects perception(感知), making you think that the same food is excellent, good or average. Thus, the goal for dinner parties is to ensure that the food looks pleasing to the eye, so your guests will think it tastes as good as it looks.
Bowl colour influences the desirability of food for picky eaters, as well as the perception of saltiness. Picky eaters tend to perceive meals in red and blue bowls as saltier compared to white. And they are more unwilling to try new food in a red bowl. 38.　　　
You can never go wrong with a white plate. Just avoid it when the food served is pale. For desserts, white is ideal because it increases flavours and enhances sweetness. 39.　　　　 Serving food in a black bowl can increase perceptions of its saltiness and portion size.
To bring extra aesthetic (审美的) appeal, creativity and to highlight foods lacking in colour, you can serve your meal on bright plates. But be careful! 40.　　　　 Similar ingredient colours to the tableware make everything integrate together and your guests think they have less food.
A.It starts with your sight.
B.But the result of dark plates can vary a little.
C.However, the rules of colour may not apply to all.
D.Besides, colourful plates are preferred by choosy eaters.
E.Food should only look more vivid depending on the meal.
F.The tableware is also an essential element, especially the colour.
G.So, for demanding guests, choose the colour of the tableware first.

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。
Leaving the busy and noisy store, I hurried back to my car, my mind preoccupied with the tasks awaiting me at home. However, as I reached for my car keys in my pocket, a sinking feeling washed over me—I had locked both my keys and cellphone inside the vehicle. Frustration surged through my veins. Feeling extremely annoyed, I couldn’t help but let out a string of choice words, punctuated by a swift kick to the tyre.
Just then, a teenager on his bicycle happened to pass by, his eyes catching my display of frustration. Sensing an opportunity to lend a hand, he pulled over and asked, “What’s wrong ”
I took a deep breath, grateful for a sympathetic ear, and explained my situation. “I’ve managed to lock my keys and cell-phone inside the car,” I sighed. “My wife must be really worried as I should have been home by now. Even if I could call my wife, she wouldn’t be able to bring me her car key since this is our only vehicle.”
Without hesitation, the teenager extended his hand, offering me his cell phone. “Here, you can use mine to call your wife,” he said, his youthful voice brimming with sincerity.
I accepted his offer gratefully, dialing my wife’s number and relaying the situation to her. I could sense her concern on the other end of the line, but she remained calm and asked for my exact position.
“I’ll need to see if I can borrow any of our neighbours’ cars,” she said. “I’ve thought about this plan, but most of them must be in town for the carnival today,” I sighed. But she just reassured me that she would find the extra key and find a way to get here as soon as possible.
As I ended the call, I expressed my gratitude to the teenager, but a new worry crept into my mind. “It’s a seven-mile trip for my wife,” I said. “Even if she could borrow a car, she hasn’t driven for long and she’s pregnant.” The teenager asked, “Did you just say you live in the Medway Street My school is nearby so I’m quite familiar with the route. Just tell your wife I’m coming to get the key.” “But that’s seven miles! It’ll take you at least an hour round trip.”
注意:续写词数应为150个左右。
Paragraph 1:
The teenager simply smiled, with a determined look on his face.


Paragraph 2:
Deeply moved, I reached into my pocket, eager to offer him some money.
