W: Hey, Don. Can you help me with the plans for Stan’s birthday party

Text 2
M: Hi, Mary, I heard you took a trip to Mexico. How do you like it

M: Only two weeks left before my vacation!
W: Oh, so great! Remind me again, how long will it last

Text 6
W: Stein, tell me about your great new office.
M: Well, there are 700 people here. It’s a very big building and the idea is to have all employees in one place. But there are no fixed offices or desks for people. Only one person, the Managing Director, has a personal office.
W: Do you like it
M: Yeah. The important thing for me is that I get information very quickly. In the open office, I hear things which I can use in my work. That’s good.

W: Well, he feels that practical experience is an important addition to the artistic training in the theatre.
M: You mean we’ll get course credits for joining the opera companies practising performance
W: Yeah, we’ll have to earn them by working hard with the companies.
M: I’d like to participate in it. But If I join it, who will decide what job I’d get
W: You have to be a theatre major to join the programme. The programme manager would try to match students’ interests with jobs wherever possible. And guess what One or two theatre majors might be selected to sing with the companies.
M: What Do you mean standing in front of hundreds of people and singing I like acting, but I can’t imagine myself taking on an operatic role!
Text 9
M: What colleges are you thinking of applying to, Susan
W: I am still considering whether I should stay close to home or go to an out-of-state school. I have toured the Stanford University in our state and Indiana Notre Dame University. What about you, Mike
M: I want to stay in our state, too, so I am hoping to go to either California State University or University of California. But I am more worried about this SAT test at the moment!
W: I understand how you feel. However, we should still consider what should be done next. It will be bad if we fall behind and don’t make it into college by next fall. Have you decided what to study yet I’m thinking about majoring in English myself.
M: I was thinking about becoming an English teacher. I was also considering majoring in Biological Sciences or Medicine. But I think it is too early to determine anything yet. I am just hoping to get into a college!
W: I do not think you have to worry about getting into college. Still, let’s just keep trying our best!
Text 10
M: May I have your attention please I know it’s the end of the day and everyone is eager to begin your holiday. But I want to give a short speech about the past year. Since the summer we all have been focusing our efforts on the goal of creating three new products by Chinese New Year. Now it’s just before Christmas and we’ve already achieved this goal. So as this office’s general manager I’d like to congratulate you all first. Second I’ve communicated with the board members over the last few days and we have decided that everyone will be going home with a holiday gift. I still remember the extra vacation days we got last year. But by the end of today everyone will receive a significant holiday bonus. It will be twice as much as last year. We all should be proud of our product development and sales figures. This extra payment is given for your excellent performance. But more than the money my greatest honour was watching everyone work well together as a team. So before we all leave for the day our sales and marketing director will say a few words. Please put your hands together for her.

22.A　细节理解题。根据Big Five bucket list, Tanzania中“Through balcony views, visitors see up close to animals, like the Big Five—lion, leopard, buffalo, elephant and rhinoceros.”、Wild horses, Georgia中“It’s only accessible via boat, but once you’re on the island you can bicycle or walk to see the herds of wild horses, enjoy a day at the beach or wander around the ruins of the Dungeness Mansion.”、Jungle ridgeline, Hawaii中“Streams, animals and waterfalls surround you on your journey to the top of the crater (火山口).”和Maritime microclimate, New Zealand中“Conservation areas, a maritime playground complete with penguins, dolphins and whales are a welcome escape from daily lives.”可知,在这四个景点游客都可以欣赏动物。故选A项。
23.C　推理判断题。通读全文,尤其是根据第一段“The natural world is all around us, but sometimes it requires taking a step back from our daily lives to truly appreciate it.

B
【文章大意】 本文是一篇记叙文。文章介绍了巴基斯坦女性建筑师Yasmeen Lari努力改进村庄的房屋设计以更好地抵御自然灾害,突显其体恤村民和倡导环保的精神。
24.B　细节理解题。根据第一段中“It was October 2005, and the catastrophic earthquake killing some 79,000 people in Pakistan had reduced the valley to mud and ruins.”以及第二段中“…but she had never done disaster work before…But here, she’d be drawing plans for earthquake-resistant homes using stone and timber debris(木材碎片). With each passing day, she felt deeply right to do disaster-relief work. So she made it her new mission, spending the next four months working with volunteer architects and engineers from Pakistan and abroad.”可知,在巴基斯坦发生了灾难性的地震之后,Lari来这里当志愿者,尽管她之前从未做过灾后工作,她用石头和木材碎片来设计抗震房屋,她把它作为自己的新任务,由此可知,Lari开始了一段全新的志愿者工作经历。故选B。
25.C　细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Inspired by local buildings made with sustainable materials such as timber debris, bamboo and mud, Lari’s shelters can better withstand disasters.”可知,Lari设计的房屋实用且环保是因为使用了当地的,不破坏生态平衡的材料。故选C。

27.D　推理判断题。根据最后一段“At age 83, Yasmeen Lari is still full of ideas about zero-carbon designs, skill building and self-sustaining villages. ‘Architects can no longer work for just the one percent,’ she says. ‘That doesn’t allow them to serve humanity as much as they could.’”可知,Yasmeen Lari仍然坚持零碳设计,她认为建筑师应该尽全力为所有人服务,所以她是富有同情心的,有环保意识的。故选D。

28.B　细节理解题。根据文章第二段“In her book Educated, Tara was raised in rural Idaho. Her dad believed the world was coming to an end, and that the family should interact with the health and education systems as little as possible. Major medical crises went untreated—her mother never recovered from her brain injury. Because Tara and her six siblings worked at their father’s junkyard, none of them received proper home-schooling.”以及第三段“Before stepping foot in a classroom until she was 17, her world view was entirely shaped by her dad. It wasn’t until she went to Brigham Young University that she realized there were other perspectives on things her dad had presented as facts.”可知,Tara的成长环境妨碍了她接受教育和拥有批判性思维。故选B。
29.A　推理判断题。根据第三段“Eventually, she earned her doctorate in History from Cambridge University. Of the seven Westover’s siblings, three earned PhDs. I thought their childhood experiences made them tough and helped them persevere. When you meet Tara, she is never cruel even when mentioning her childhood traumas, including the physical abuse she suffered. I was impressed by how she talked so openly about how ignorant she once was.”可推知,Tara是个有毅力、诚实的人。故选A。
30.A　推理判断题。根据文章第四段“‘I worry that education is becoming a stick that some people use to beat other people into submission or becoming something that people feel arrogant (傲慢的) about,’ she said. ‘I think education is really just a process of self-discovery—of developing a sense of self and what you think. I think of it as this great mechanism of connecting and equalizing.’”可知,Tara认为教育应该是一个自我发现的过程,是一个培养自我意识和想法的过程。故选A。
31.D　推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Tara’s process of self-discovery is beautifully captured in Educated. She’s a talented writer, and I suspect this book isn’t the last.”以及全文内容可知,文章介绍了Tara Westover的自传体图书,这本书的主要内容,以及作者读了它之后的思考。因此这篇文章是一篇书评。故选D。

【文章大意】 本文是一篇说明文。科学家们发现了一种测量方法,可以用来确定沙子中锆石矿物的“年龄分布指纹”。通过研究河流和岩石中的沙粒里含有的锆石,科学家能够揭示地球在过去历史中被隐藏的细节。
32.A　词义猜测题。根据第二段“They’ve come up with a type of measurement which will allow them to figure out what’s known as the ‘age distribution fingerprint’ of the mineral zircon, which is found within sand. The researchers believe this could provide them with new information on how the Earth’s surface has changed over the last few thousand million years.”可知,沙粒能为科学家提供有关地球表面在过去几十亿年中是如何变化的新信息,由此可知,画线部分指的是沙粒的新功能,故选A项。
33.B　推理判断题。根据第三段“Strong and lasting minerals like zircon paint a vivid picture of the planet’s history, including changing environments, the evolution of continents, and the accumulation of mineral resources at ancient plate boundaries…”可推知,科学家选择沙子进行研究的原因是其中的锆石矿物坚硬且存在时间长,故选B项。
34.D　推理判断题。根据第四段“The sediment on the west and east coasts of South America is completely different because there are many young grains on the west side that were created beneath the continent. However, on the east coast, all is relatively calm geologically and there is a mix of old and young grains…”可推知,两个海岸的沙子形成的年代不同,故选D项。
35.D　主旨大意题。根据第一段“A team of scientists have found a very different use of the tiny grains that we like to play with on the beach.”、第二段“The researchers believe this could provide them with new information on how the Earth’s surface has changed over the last few thousand million years.”、第三段“Some minerals, like zircon, have stood the test of time, and are thought to carry clues of Earth’s history.”以及最后一段“The scientists tried out their new technique by taking a look at sediment(沉淀物)in South America, East Antarctica and Western Australia, and they found some interesting differences.”可知,本文主要讲的是通过研究河流和岩石中的沙粒里含有的锆石,科学家能够揭示地球在过去历史中被隐藏的信息,故选D项。

第一节
One possible version:
Dear Jim,
I hope this e-mail finds you well. I am writing to introduce a unique activity happening at my school, the “Flowers and Fragrance into School” activity.
As part of this activity, a gardening optional course that teaches us about the characteristics of different flowers has been set up. The course aims to enhance our understanding and appreciation of flowers. Additionally, we are encouraged to participate in hands-on activities by using our creativity to decorate our school campus with flowers, creating a beautiful and fragrant environment for our learning and living.
Personally, this activity has had a profound impact on me. Not only have I learned a lot about flowers and gardening, but also, the activity has taught me the importance of patience and the appreciation of nature’s beauty.
Best regards,
Li Hua

【思路点拨】 本文以人物为线索展开,讲述了一个普通学生Freddie Forbes通过捡垃圾和垃圾分类回收,为学校赢得荣誉证书并为自己赢得荣誉夹克的故事。尽管一开始他的朋友们认为这是浪费时间,但他坚持了下来,最终得到了回报。
【详解】
1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“在接下来的几个星期里,其他男孩退出了这个项目。”可知,第一段可描写Freddie坚持捡垃圾和将垃圾分类。
②由第二段首句内容“听到校长叫他的名字,Freddie紧张地朝讲台走去。”可知,第二段可描写Freddie获得了荣誉证书,并且得到了自己梦寐以求的荣誉夹克。
2.续写线索:Freddie坚持了下去—新学期开始—学校获得荣誉证书—校长对Freddie进行表彰—Freddie获得了荣誉夹克—Freddie感悟
One possible version:
Over the next few weeks, the other boys dropped out of the project. But Freddie kept on. Some of his friends laughed at him, thinking it was a waste of time. Nevertheless, Freddie decided to stick it out. The first day of the new school year soon arrived and once again the school hall was packed with pupils. When the headmaster appeared, he was carrying a certificate which bore the logo of the local council. “Welcome back,” he said. “The council has presented this certificate to the school in recognition of the work by one of our pupils. Freddie Forbes, please come to the platform.”
Hearing his name called by the headmaster, Freddie nervously made his way to the platform. The headmaster smiled at Freddie, “This certificate you have worked so hard to achieve will hang in the school office, but you will get a personal award too.” A teacher came onto the stage, bringing one of the honours jackets that Freddie had admired so much. The headmaster asked Freddie to remove his own jacket and helped him into the jacket that he thought he would never wear. As the pupils who had dropped out looked on enviously, Freddie knew that collecting waste was certainly not a waste of time.单元素养测评卷(五)

阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A [2024·江苏徐州高二期末]
The natural world is all around us, but sometimes it requires taking a step back from our daily lives to truly appreciate it. The escapes on this list allow you to gain some perspectives and make you immersed in the landscapes.
Big Five bucket list, Tanzania
As one of the world’s most precious animal reserves, the Four Seasons Safari Lodge invites guests to put down their phones and refresh their mind. Through balcony views, visitors see up close to animals, like the Big Five—lion, leopard, buffalo, elephant and rhinoceros. Or experience the wonder from the air via hot air balloon.
Wild horses, Georgia
Georgia has no coastline, only barrier islands. Cumberland Island remains a natural reserve along America’s National Seashores. It’s only accessible via boat, but once you’re on the island you can bicycle or walk to see the herds of wild horses, enjoy a day at the beach or wander around the ruins of the Dungeness Mansion.
Jungle ridgeline, Hawaii
This jungle trail in Oahu goes deep into the lush jungle where sunlight is scarce but adventure is not. Streams, animals and waterfalls surround you on your journey to the top of the crater (火山口). Leave time to jump into one of the pools for a swim, and enjoy the view from the Ka’au volcanic vent in peace.
Maritime microclimate, New Zealand
Touring the 144 islands of this subtropical microclimate via sea allows visitors to enjoy themselves in the region’s history and natural beauty. Conservation areas, a maritime playground complete with penguins, dolphins and whales are a welcome escape from daily lives.

B [2024·福建省山海联盟高二期末]
It was October 2005, and the catastrophic earthquake killing some 79,000 people in Pakistan had reduced the valley to mud and ruins.
Yasmeen Lari, a 65-year-old architect, was there to help lead the reconstruction of settlements, but she had never done disaster work before. Lari was known for designing smooth towers of glass and concrete. But here, she’d be drawing plans for earthquake-resistant homes using stone and timber debris(木材碎片). With each passing day, she felt deeply right to do disaster-relief work. So she made it her new mission, spending the next four months working with volunteer architects and engineers from Pakistan and abroad.
Inspired by local buildings made with sustainable materials such as timber debris, bamboo and mud, Lari’s shelters can better withstand disasters. Lari says this local, cost-effective and zero-carbon approach is creating an ecosystem. Anyone can learn by watching DIY videos on Lari’s Zero Carbon Channel on YouTube.
The design won a UN World Habitat Prize in 2018.“We need to believe in people’s capacity to bring about change. I treat displaced people as partners, not victims. They know what to do,” says Lari.
Over the decades, Yasmeen Lari has won many awards as architect and environmentalist. While it may seem like an unlikely path for a girl who was born into a well-to-do family in 1941, she had an unconventional upbringing. At home, her father would talk about the desperate need for housing. Listening to her father talk about the housing crisis and need for architects made an impression on Lari. On a family visit to London when she was 15, she applied to architecture school at Oxford Brookes University. She laughs as she recalls her bravery.
At age 83, Yasmeen Lari is still full of ideas about zero-carbon designs, skill building and self-sustaining villages. “Architects can no longer work for just the one percent,” she says. “That doesn’t allow them to serve humanity as much as they could.”

“You can love someone and still choose to say goodbye to them,” Tara Westover says. It’s hard to understand these words until I read her memoir Educated.
In her book Educated, Tara was raised in rural Idaho. Her dad believed the world was coming to an end, and that the family should interact with the health and education systems as little as possible. Major medical crises went untreated—her mother never recovered from her brain injury. Because Tara and her six siblings worked at their father’s junkyard, none of them received proper home-schooling.
Educated is an amazing story. I found it fascinating how it took studying philosophy and history in school for Tara to trust her own perception of the world. Before stepping foot in a classroom until she was 17, her world view was entirely shaped by her dad. It wasn’t until she went to Brigham Young University that she realized there were other perspectives on things her dad had presented as facts. Eventually, she earned her doctorate in History from Cambridge University. Of the seven Westover’s siblings, three earned PhDs. I thought their childhood experiences made them tough and helped them persevere. When you meet Tara, she is never cruel even when mentioning her childhood traumas, including the physical abuse she suffered. I was impressed by how she talked so openly about how ignorant she once was.
Educated touches on the divides in our country: rural versus urban, college-educated versus not. Since she’s spent her whole life moving between these two worlds, I asked Tara what she thought. “I worry that education is becoming a stick that some people use to beat other people into submission or becoming something that people feel arrogant (傲慢的) about,” she said. “I think education is really just a process of self-discovery—of developing a sense of self and what you think. I think of it as this great mechanism of connecting and equalizing.”
Tara’s process of self-discovery is beautifully captured in Educated. She’s a talented writer, and I suspect this book isn’t the last.
(　)28.How did Tara’s upbringing shape her world view
A.It prepared her for a successful academic career.
B.It limited her access to education and critical thinking.
C.It encouraged her to embrace different perspectives and ideas.
D.It instilled in her a strong sense of independence and resilience.
(　)29.Which could best describe Tara according to the text
A.Perseverant and honest.
B.Talented and weak.
C.Cruel and accomplished.
D.Romantic and determined.
(　)30.According to Tara, what should education primarily involve
A.Exploring more of oneself and individual thoughts.
B.Following established social rules and regulations.
C.Strengthening divisions and inequalities among people.
D.Obtaining certain rights and privileges to defeat others.
(　)31.What is the text type of this passage
A.An autobiography. B.A news report.
C.A persuasive essay. D.A book review.

Heading to the beach is a popular option for lots of people on a hot summer’s day. It’s there that you’ll find plenty of sand. But could sand be more important than we’ve ever realized A team of scientists have found a very different use of the tiny grains that we like to play with on the beach.
They’ve come up with a type of measurement which will allow them to figure out what’s known as the “age distribution fingerprint” of the mineral zircon, which is found within sand. The researchers believe this could provide them with new information on how the Earth’s surface has changed over the last few thousand million years.
Some minerals, like zircon, have stood the test of time, and are thought to carry clues of Earth’s history. By studying the zircon found in grains of sand from rivers and rocks, the scientists are able to work out previously hidden details about the Earth’s past. “Strong and lasting minerals like zircon paint a vivid picture of the planet’s history, including changing environments, the evolution of continents, and the accumulation of mineral resources at ancient plate boundaries,” said Dr Milo Barham, who worked on the research. “The world’s beaches faithfully record a detailed history of our planet’s geological past, with billions of years of Earth’s history marked in the geology(地质状况)of each grain of sand and our technique helps unlock the information.”
The scientists tried out their new technique by taking a look at sediment(沉淀物)in South America, East Antarctica and Western Australia, and they found some interesting differences. “The sediment on the west and east coasts of South America is completely different because there are many young grains on the west side that were created beneath the continent. However, on the east coast, all is relatively calm geologically and there is a mix of old and young grains,” said Professor Chris Kirkland, who also worked on this research.
(　)32.What do the underlined words “a very different use” in Paragraph 1 refer to
A.Sand can provide a geological history of the Earth’s surface.
B.Sand can reconstruct the conditions of mineral formation.
C.Sand can help discover the “age distribution fingerprint”.
D.Sand can be used to kill time on a hot summer’s day.
(　)33.Why do the scientists choose to study sand
A.Its cost is extremely low.
B.Its zircon is hard and long-lasting.
C.It exists all over the world.
D.It experiences many changes.
(　)34.What can be learnt about South America from the last paragraph
A.The west coast is relatively calm geologically.
B.The east coast is more active than the west one.
C.Its beaches have revealed the Earth’s mysteries.
D.The grains on the west and east coasts have different ages.
(　)35.What can be the best title for the text
A.History of grains of sand
B.Interesting differences of sediment
C.A new technique will trace the human past
D.Sand can unlock what happened to Earth

Freddie Forbes stared in awe (敬畏) at the platform in the packed school hall. The headmaster marched onto the stage, followed by the captains of the school soccer team and rugby side. Freddie watched enviously (羡慕地) as each was presented with an honours jacket for their contribution to the school’s sporting success over the previous year. When the next presentation of honours jacket would come around, Freddie knew there was little hope that he would be the receiver of one of these treasured items of clothing.
“I wish you all a happy summer holiday,” the headmaster announced. “Although most of you will be going away to sunnier parts, there are others who will be staying near their home. The local council has asked the school to undertake a project over the next six weeks to help clear up litter around the area and separate it for recycling. If anyone is interested, come to my office and you will be supplied with a litter picker, bags and heavy-duty gloves.”
Freddie knew he would be at a loose end over the holiday, so he went to the office along with four other boys to pick up the equipment needed to gather up the rubbish which littered the streets around the school. When he arrived home, his mother looked at him curiously as he placed the equipment on the kitchen table.
“What is this all about ” she asked with a smile on her face. “Mum, I’m an average pupil and I’m not very good at sports,” he replied. “This waste recycling is one way I can contribute to the good name of the school.”
“Just as long as you don’t get fed up and stop half way through,” said Mum.
“I have made up my mind to stick this out through thick and thin,” Freddie said confidently.
注意:续写词数应为150个左右。
Paragraph 1:
Over the next few weeks, the other boys dropped out of the project.
