Text 2
M: So what do you advise
W: You should give up ice cream, and use this mouthwash regularly. Come and see me in three weeks if you’re still having toothache.
Text 3
W: Honey, we’d better be quick, or we’ll be late for the flight.

W: But it takes at least one hour to get to the airport. Hurry up!
Text 4

Text 5

M: No, that’s all, thank you.
Text 6

M: They sold their favourite car for my college. I’m really thankful to them.
W: Don’t worry. It will do good to the whole family. You can buy them a new car once you settle down in your career.

M: Hello, Professor Smith, I’m John Wishart. I’m working on the Global Design Competition. My teacher said you might be able to help me.
W: Ah, yes, I got a copy of your drawings. What sort of competition is it
M: Well, the Global Design Competition requires competitors to come up with a new design for a typical domestic kitchen device.
W: I see, and are there any special conditions Does it have to save energy for example
M: Actually, that was the focus in last year’s competition. This year’s different. We have to adopt an innovative approach to existing technology.
W: I understand. So what kitchen device have you chosen
M: Well, I chose the dishwasher.
W: Interesting. Why
M: Well, they’re an everyday kitchen device in most Australian houses but they all look similar. I think people will be prepared to pay a little extra for something different.
W: Good idea. I saw you’ve called your design “the Rockpool”. Why is that
M: Because it looks like the rock pools you find on a beach. The top is made of glass so that you can look down into it.

M: Well, the T-shirt was a present from my brother, who’s a baseball player. Look at the back—it has a photo of all the players on his team. They won the city championship this summer.
W: That’s great. I love to watch baseball. What about you Do you play a sport
M: Yes, I play tennis. What else do you like to do
W: Well, what I like to do most is dance. I’m studying classical ballet, but I also like to dance to pop music.
M: Cool. Do you want to check out the local clubs this weekend
W: Oh, yeah. And the restaurants, too. Speaking of that, I’m hungry!
M: Me too. How about trying the place up the street I’d like to get a good hamburger.
W: Let’s go!

W: And now the weather for the coming week, brought to you by Amy Barr. The weather on the coast will continue to be warm and sunny for the next two days. Take advantage of it because, at the weekend, clouds will be slowly moving into the north part of the coast, bringing with them lower temperatures and some rain. The temperatures there will drop to a low of 70℉, with showers on Saturday and possible thunderstorms on Sunday. On the south coast, the sun should continue through the weekend, with highs of 80℉. At the start of next week, we can expect to see some of the clouds clearing away in the north, with rain in the mornings and partly sunny skies in the afternoons. The high in the north will slowly climb to 80℉ again by this time next week. In the south, next week looks much the same as now. There’s a chance of some really quite warm days, with the short of wind making it feel even hotter. This is Amy Barr from the City Radio Weather Forecast.
第二部分
第一节
A
【文章大意】 这是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了孔子学院研讨会里的活动以及收费等情况。
21.C　细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Our cultural workshops are the perfect way to experience an exciting range of Chinese cultural activities.”以及Workshop topics中的“We offer a selection of workshops designed to introduce China.”可知,研讨会的主题是中国文化元素。故选C项。
22.D　细节理解题。根据Workshop requirements 部分中的“If you are booking calligraphy sessions, which are considered quite difficult to learn, we ask that one single space should be provided for the day as the set-up can take quite a lot of time.”可知,书法课要预留一个单独的地方来上课是因为准备工作很耗时。故选D项。
23.B　细节理解题。根据 Fees 部分中的“We charge ￡40 for each individual workshop session. If you’d like to have more than two workshop sessions, we would offer a 30 percent discount.”可知,如果你申请三场研讨会,费用是84英镑。故选B项。
B
【文章大意】 本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。作者分享了自己做志愿工作的经历,表明志愿工作能给个人带来很多好处,包括对不幸者的生活有了深入了解,变得更加感恩,赋予生活更多意义。
24.D　推理判断题。根据第二段中“When I first entered the flat, I was astonished at the state of the living conditions—it was overcrowded with people, messy household items, and newspapers. I was critical of the owners of the flat. However, as the cleaning proceeded, I learned more about their misfortunes and difficulties. I was regretful about my initial judgement of them.”可知,作者第一次进入公寓时,因为里面糟糕的状况而对住户很不满,后来因为了解了他们的情况而后悔自己最初的判断。由此推知,作者对公寓里的人的第一评价是粗鲁。故选D项。
25.D　细节理解题。根据第三段中“When I volunteered at a school to teach basic life skills to students with cerebral palsy (脑瘫), I found that the students were very appreciative of the teachers, teacher assistants and even the school attendants. The students often said ‘thank you’ and smiled politely. I felt that as much as I had taught them, the students too had taught me: they taught me a lesson on gratitude.”可知,这些患有脑瘫的残疾学生教会了作者对生活更加感恩。故选D项。
26.B　推理判断题。根据第一段“Voluntary work in fact, brings many personal benefits. My personal experiences have affirmed my belief in this.”、第二段中“To begin with, voluntary work has provided me with the opportunity to gain more insight into the lives of the less fortunate.”、第三段中“In addition, my experience with volunteer work has reminded me to be more thankful for the little things.”和第四段中“Finally, doing voluntary work has given my life more meaning.”可知,作者的个人经历表明志愿工作带来了各种好处,包括对不幸者的生活的深入了解、变得更加感恩、赋予生活更多意义。由此可知,B项“一举两得。”可以描述作者对于志愿工作的态度。故选B项。
27.C　推理判断题。通读全文可知,作者在第一段“Voluntary work in fact, brings many personal benefits. My personal experiences have affirmed my belief in this.”提出自己的观点,后面三段中每段的开头给出一个志愿工作带来的好处,然后用个人经历来说明这种好处。因此,作者主要是通过给出观点和事实来证明自己的观点的。故选C项。
C
【文章大意】 这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了作者看到了一本叫作《本质主义:有纪律地追求更少》的书,他对这本书印象深刻,介绍了这本书中让人受益匪浅的理论——本质论。
28.A　词义猜测题。根据第二段“It talks about how important it is to focus on absolutely important things and remove the unnecessary distractions.”以及画线单词的前半句话“Essentialism means continuously defining where we can create the most value…”可知,本质论教会了我们专注于绝对重要的事情和消除不必要的干扰。我们要找到能够创造最大价值的地方,然后找到方法以最轻松的方式执行这些任务。所以画线单词的意思是“执行”。故选A。
29.A　段落大意题。根据第三段“In Essentialism, McKeown draws on experience and insight from working with the leaders of the most innovative companies in the world to show how to achieve the pursuit of less. More importantly, by applying a more selective standard for what is essential, the pursuit of less allows us to regain control of our own choices so we can channel our time, energy and effort into making the highest possible contribution towards the goals and activities that matter.”可知,该书告诉人们如何实现追求更少。追求更少可以让我们将时间、精力和努力用于为重要的目标和活动做出尽可能高的贡献。所以本段重点强调了本质论的重要意义。故选A。
30.D　细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“He also tells that a non-essentialist will commit to everything and put his personal priorities aside while that is opposite in case of the essentialist. Whether it is in work-life or personal life, a non-essentialist will try to do more by quick-fix solutions but an essentialist will focus on removing barriers and nothing else.”可知,本质主义者的特征在于他们会专注于个人优先事项,而非本质主义者则会把个人优先事项放在一边。故选D。
31.C　细节理解题。根据最后一段“Finally, the book tells us how to set out the important things in our life—like a routine of 8 hours of sleep, daily journals or playing or relaxing every day to let our minds rest. In today’s fast-paced life, McKeown says, restfulness is a precious escape from the noisy world.”可知,McKeown建议人们在生活中要适当休息,使大脑得到放松。故选C。
D
【文章大意】 本文为一篇说明文。文章介绍了“成长型思维模式”,说明了每个人实际上都同时具有“固定型思维模式”和“成长型思维模式”,并随着经历不断演变;我们要让孩子适应或大或小的失败。
32.D　细节理解题。根据文章第二段“But decades of researches now suggest that we should not tell our children they’re ‘smart’ when they do impressive things. When I first heard it, I felt instinctively annoyed.”可知,作者一开始对这个观点是不接受的。故选D。
33.C　细节理解题。根据文章第二段“It all goes back to something called ‘growth mindset’(成长型思维模式), a term developed and popularized by Carol Dweck, a professor of psychology at Stanford. Professor Dweck believes that we can change our abilities through efforts and strategies.”可知,具有“成长型思维模式”的孩子认为能力是可以通过努力改变的。故选C。
34.A　细节理解题。根据文章第四段“When you chat with them, you can describe what you learned, or how you strategized a solution.”可知,作者建议父母通过自己的经历来影响孩子们。故选A。
35.B　主旨大意题。根据文章第二段“But decades of researches now suggest that we should not tell our children they’re ‘smart’ when they do impressive things.”以及第三段“In other words, if parents think that failure is shameful, their children are more likely to be afraid of making mistakes. The study concludes that everyone has actually a mixture of fixed and growth mindsets continually evolving with experience. Whatever we say or don’t say to our kids, the key is to get them more comfortable with failures big or small.”可知,本文主要说明的是聪明并不能让孩子为失败做好准备。故选B。
第二节
【文章大意】 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了如何进行开放式沟通,涉及选择沟通时机、保持耐心、倾听对方以及诚实表达自己的想法和感受等方面。
36.F　根据空前内容“When you can communicate openly, you can start improving your relationships, both personal and professional, in a number of ways.”可知,开放式沟通有很多好处。选项F(开放式沟通会增加信任,有助于弥合分歧。)延续上文内容,讲述的仍然是开放式沟通的好处。故选F。
37.A　空处为段首句,为本段主要内容。根据下文“Be mindful of where and when you need to have a discussion with someone, especially if you are having an important disagreement. Someone is not likely to be open when communicating if you are surrounded by family or out in public. Therefore, have a discussion when it’s more convenient for both you and your partner.”可知,本段主要讲述的是要在合适的时间和地点进行沟通。选项A(等待合适的时间和地点。)正是本段的主要内容。故选A。
38.G　根据上文内容“When emotions are high, it can be easy to be swept in those feelings and want to get all your points across. But this can make communication more difficult because you are so focused on your feelings that you aren’t able to focus on what you need to say. Be patient and allow of silences that happen.”可知,开放式沟通需要交谈的人给彼此耐心。选项G(有时候你需要时间去思考和准确地表达自己。)与上文内容一致,指的是当情绪高涨时,你需要有耐心,给自己时间去思考和准确表达自己。故选G。
39.E　根据空后的“This allows you to see if there is any misunderstanding and allows you the time to understand his words accurately.”可知,空处应该和某个技巧相关,该技巧可以让你更好地理解对方的话。选项E(如果需要,可以问问题,甚至可以重复他说过的话。)与下文内容一致,指的是可以问对方问题或重复对方的话,这样你才可以更准确地理解对方的话。故选E。
40.D　根据空前内容“Sometimes we feel the need to soften our words to lessen the blow.”可知,我们在表达的时候语言不要太过犀利。选项D(这可能是因为我们不想伤害对方。)延续上文内容,指的是我们软化自己的语言是因为不想伤害对方。故选D。
第三部分
第一节

第四部分
第一节
One possible version:
Learning through travelling
Travelling has the unique ability to broaden our horizons and deepen our understanding of the world, allowing us to experience new cultures, perspectives, and ways of life.
I recently visited the captivating city of Beijing, the heart of China’s rich history and culture. From the Forbidden City to the bustling hutong, not only did I experience a variety of sights, sounds, and traditions, but I also was struck by the hospitality and warmth of the local people. Their culture, with its emphasis on family, community, and tradition, taught me valuable lessons about the importance of roots and heritage.
This trip taught me that travelling is not just about seeing new places, but also about learning new ways of thinking and understanding. It opens our eyes to the beauty of diversity and allows us to embrace the world with a more open mind.
第二节
【思路点拨】 本文以人物为线索展开,讲述了上六年级的作者经历了声音突变。刚开始他对嗓音变低沉感到兴奋,但发现声音嘶哑很尴尬。尽管朋友们并未嘲笑他,但他仍感到自卑,担心被人议论。为避免尴尬,他选择少说话,甚至在说话前清嗓子。然而,代课老师要点名,作者不得已必须答“到”,但就是这一声“到”让他尴尬不已。
【详解】
1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“全班同学都转过头来看着我。”可知,第一段可描写听到作者的声音后同学们的反应和作者的尴尬。
②由第二段首句内容“‘你知道,你在课堂上遇到的声音问题是正常的,’一个同学走过来对我说。”可知,第二段可描写作者得到同学的安慰和鼓励,开始勇敢接受声音变嘶哑的问题。
2.续写线索:受到全班同学的注视—感到万分尴尬—得到同学的安慰—正视和接受自己的问题
One possible version:
The whole class turned to look at me. My face burned with embarrassment as I felt each pair of eyes fixed on me. The substitute teacher’s puzzled expression only added to the awkward moment. I wished the ground would open up and swallow me whole, but all I could do was shift uncomfortably in my seat. The whispers that followed were like knives to my self-esteem. When the bell finally rang for the break, I rushed out of the classroom, feeling utterly humiliated. It seemed like the whole school now knew about my voice crack.
“You know, the voice problem you met in class is normal,” a classmate came to me and said. His reassuring words caught me off guard. As he shared his own similar experiences, I realized I wasn’t alone in this struggle. Knowing that others were going through the same thing made me feel seen and understood. His empathy sparked a sense of team spirit and support that I hadn’t anticipated. Gradually, I let go of the fear of judgement and started to embrace my voice cracks as a natural part of growing up. This newfound sense of confidence and self-acceptance transformed my interactions at school, making me feel more at ease and connected with my peers.单元素养测评卷(一)

B [2024·河南洛阳高二期末]
Voluntary work in fact, brings many personal benefits. My personal experiences have affirmed my belief in this.
To begin with, voluntary work has provided me with the opportunity to gain more insight into the lives of the less fortunate. I once volunteered to clean up one-room flats where the less fortunate lived. When I first entered the flat, I was astonished at the state of the living conditions—it was overcrowded with people, messy household items, and newspapers. I was critical of the owners of the flat. However, as the cleaning proceeded, I learned more about their misfortunes and difficulties. I was regretful about my initial judgement of them. This incident has allowed me to learn more about people. Moreover, it has made me realize that many underprivileged communities are unjustifiably judged and discriminated against. I learnt that life is a lot more complex than I had imagined, and that I should always try to display empathy.
In addition, my experience with volunteer work has reminded me to be more thankful for the little things. When I volunteered at a school to teach basic life skills to students with cerebral palsy (脑瘫), I found that the students were very appreciative of the teachers, teacher assistants and even the school attendants. The students often said “thank you” and smiled politely. I felt that as much as I had taught them, the students too had taught me: they taught me a lesson on gratitude.
Finally, doing voluntary work has given my life more meaning. After doing voluntary work, I feel more connected to the rest of mankind, and now have a stronger sense of purpose in my life. Instead of just being absorbed in my own wants and needs, I now make use of the abilities I have to extend a helping hand to those in need.

I came across the book Essentialism:The Disciplined Pursuit of Less from a library app and I can say that after reading, it did not disappoint.
The book fits into the personal development category. It talks about how important it is to focus on absolutely important things and remove the unnecessary distractions. The common problem, Greg McKeown says, is spotting the important things. Essentialism means continuously defining where we can create the most value, then finding ways to execute these tasks most effortlessly.
In Essentialism, McKeown draws on experience and insight from working with the leaders of the most innovative companies in the world to show how to achieve the pursuit of less. More importantly, by applying a more selective standard for what is essential, the pursuit of less allows us to regain control of our own choices so we can channel our time, energy and effort into making the highest possible contribution towards the goals and activities that matter.
McKeown further explores the difference between an essentialist and a non-essentialist. He gives fantastic and relatable examples from his life as well as from others to illustrate how functioning as a non-essentialist is harmful to both you and those around you. He says the primary difference in both of them is the one who says yes to everything and the other (the essentialist) who says yes only to the things that matter.
He also tells that a non-essentialist will commit to everything and put his personal priorities aside while that is opposite in case of the essentialist. Whether it is in work-life or personal life, a non-essentialist will try to do more by quick-fix solutions but an essentialist will focus on removing barriers and nothing else. He also gives us examples of famous people like Mahatma Gandhi who followed essentialism.
Finally, the book tells us how to set out the important things in our life—like a routine of 8 hours of sleep, daily journals or playing or relaxing every day to let our minds rest. In today’s fast-paced life, McKeown says, restfulness is a precious escape from the noisy world.
(　)28.What does the underlined word “execute” in Paragraph 2 mean
A.Carry out. B.Switch between.
C.Watch out for. D.Get away from.
(　)29.What is mainly stressed in Paragraph 3
A.The significance of essentialism.

A.Commitment to daily work.
B.High efficiency in work.
C.Positive influence by celebrities.
D.Concentration on priorities.

A.Avoid tiring work if possible.

I used to tell my children that they were smart, because I was impressed by their rapid growth. I remember clearly watching my daughter figure out how to build a Lego house that would stand up on its own, and thinking: look at this tiny architectural genius.
But decades of researches now suggest that we should not tell our children they’re “smart” when they do impressive things. When I first heard it, I felt instinctively annoyed. But after I dug into the research, I was persuaded. It all goes back to something called “growth mindset”(成长型思维模式), a term developed and popularized by Carol Dweck, a professor of psychology at Stanford. Professor Dweck believes that we can change our abilities through efforts and strategies. The opposite of a “growth mindset” is a “fixed mindset”—the idea that our abilities are inborn and can’t be changed. When we praise our children for being “smart”, based on victories like doing well on a test, we’re unconsciously encouraging them to believe that if they do poorly or make mistakes, they’re not smart.
It’s not just what we say that matters, but also how we tolerate our children’s failures. A 2016 study by Dweck showed that parents’ “failure mindsets” affect their children more than their views on intelligence. In other words, if parents think that failure is shameful, their children are more likely to be afraid of making mistakes. The study concludes that everyone has actually a mixture of fixed and growth mindsets continually evolving with experience. Whatever we say or don’t say to our kids, the key is to get them more comfortable with failures big or small.
It’s helpful for kids to understand that you make mistakes and learn how they happen. When you chat with them, you can describe what you learned, or how you strategized a solution. “You don’t have to deny you have negative emotional reactions,” Dweck said. “We don’t do that enough because we feel embarrassed when we make mistakes. But if we discuss our missteps more and explain how we overcame them, our children can learn to do the same.”
(　)32.What did the author initially think of the research’s advice
A.Convincing. B.Advanced.
C.Inaccessible. D.Unacceptable.
(　)33.According to Dweck, children with a growth mindset tend to believe 　　　　.
A.smartness is the key to success
B.difficulties in daily life teach them a lot
C.their abilities can be improved through hard work
D.they are impressive due to their good grades on tests
(　)34.What does Dweck suggest parents do
A.Affect children via their own experience.
B.Hide their negative feelings from children.
C.Remind children to avoid making mistakes.
D.Pay attention to develop children’s intelligence.
(　)35.What does the passage mainly tell us
A.The effect of a fixed mindset on children.
B.Being smart doesn’t prepare kids for failure.
C.The importance of being smart in family interaction.
D.Being smart is the power of praising in children’s growth.

When you can communicate openly, you can start improving your relationships, both personal and professional, in a number of ways. 36.　　　　 There are a few things that you can do when you have an open conversation.
37.　　　　 Be mindful of where and when you need to have a discussion with someone, especially if you are having an important disagreement. Someone is not likely to be open when communicating if you are surrounded by family or out in public. Therefore, have a discussion when it’s more convenient for both you and your partner.
Have patience. When emotions are high, it can be easy to be swept in those feelings and want to get all your points across. But this can make communication more difficult because you are so focused on your feelings that you aren’t able to focus on what you need to say. Be patient and allow of silences that happen. 38.　　　
Take the time to listen to what the other person is saying. 39.　　　　 This allows you to see if there is any misunderstanding and allows you the time to understand his words accurately. You don’t need to agree on all his words, but it is important to understand where they’re coming from.
Be honest about your thoughts and your feelings. Sometimes we feel the need to soften our words to lessen the blow. 40.　　　　 After all, when we leave out certain details, we’re not able to communicate openly.

第二节(满分25分)
[2024·湖北荆州中学高二期末]
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。
When starting my sixth-grade year, I was nervous about many things. But nothing compared to the problem that I got to the age where my voice started changing. At first, the voice getting deep excited me. But then I learned before getting deeper, it can crack (变嘶哑).
The first time it happened I was so embarrassed. Surprisingly, my friends didn’t make fun of me. In fact, they didn’t even mention it. But in my self-conscious sixth-grade mind I was certain they made fun of me behind my back.
After my first voice crack experience, I was determined to make sure it wouldn’t happen again. At least not in public. So, except for strategic times I said “cool” and “yeah”, I didn’t talk. My logic was, if I don’t use my voice, it cannot crack. However, I couldn’t go without talking forever. I needed a new solution.
I began clearing my throat before speaking, which actually seemed to help. Limiting how much I spoke and clearing my voice made me much less stressful. This was great but there was a larger problem. I was much more scared of having a voice crack during class. My class had many new kids I’d never spoken with. I didn’t want their first impressions of me to be based on a voice crack.
Unfortunately, one day my concern came true. On the day it happened everything was the same as always until I got into the classroom. I noticed that we had a substitute teacher (代课老师). So many thoughts rushed through my mind that I couldn’t think straight. I calmed myself down by telling myself that I only had to say one word “here”. “Easy enough, right ” I thought so until my name was called. I did my routine—cleared my throat, took a breath, and said, “Here.” The only problem was that while saying this, I had the worst voice crack in the history of voice cracks.
注意:续写词数应为150个左右。
Paragraph 1:
The whole class turned to look at me.

Paragraph 2:
“You know, the voice problem you met in class is normal,” a classmate came to me and said.
