M: Deal. Two, one. Great! Now, you can have one minute to rest. Then, we’re going to lift weights.

W: Ron just told me that you will be taking the 2 o’clock flight to attend the trade exhibition in New York. I’m going to visit a customer there today and we will be on the same flight. Would you like to share a taxi to the airport
M: That sounds great, but I can’t. I have to take this report to Mr Smith at our home office before his 10 o’clock meeting, so I was thinking about going to the airport straight from there. If you’d like, I could meet you at the airport.
W: In that case, how about meeting at 12 to have lunch together before our flight
M: That sounds like a plan. I’ll see you in the coffee shop on the second floor at noon, OK
W: OK. See you then.

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 having a seven-week course, as two schools have eight-week holidays. But in the end we decided to keep to the same plan as last year.
M: But, as I understand, last year’s course wasn’t a complete success, was it
W: Well, we were actually very surprised by the number of people interested in the course. We didn’t actually have enough assistants to look after all the children.
M: So, what activities can the children look forward to this year
W: Well, once again there’ll 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’re introducing some fun programmes. I think it’ll be good fun for the children.

W:Henry, I heard you saved your little brother’s life last night. Could you tell me what exactly happened
M:Yes, Mrs Brown. I was in my bedroom playing the guitar with my friend Jason and my three-year-old brother Mike when my brother put a piece of a toy in his mouth.
W: When did you notice it
M:I didn’t notice it until I found he was fighting for breath.
W:What did you do
M:I immediately asked Jason to find my father, who was somewhere near the house. But then I noticed Mike was turning purple.
W:You must have been very worried.
M:Certainly. But I knew what I should do. Luckily, I’d learned how to perform first-aid skills. Finally, I helped Mike cough up that little thing.
W:You’re really great! Without you, your brother might have been in great danger.
M:Yes. When my father finally came, Mike was crying but he was totally fine.
W:Good. Can you share your story a bit later in class today
M:Certainly, Mrs Brown.

M: The summer vacation in New Delhi begins on May 1st every year. Much before it began we started planning how to spend it. I suggested that we should go to Shillong. But my sister insisted that we see Darjeeling. My father decided that we would go to both places with one month’s stay at each place. So, it was decided that we would be going first to Shillong and then to Darjeeling. We left the New Delhi Railway Station four days after the vacation began. It was a very long and tiring journey. The train reached Guwahati in the evening. The next day, early in the morning we drove to Shillong. We stayed there for nearly a month in the hotel. The climate was no doubt cool and pleasant, but there were very few places of interest. We left Shillong on June 4th. On our way to Darjeeling, we travelled by train. We saw thick forests and beautiful tea gardens. We reached Darjeeling at about noon. We took a taxi and went to a hotel where reservations had been earlier arranged by my father. One day we went to the Tiger Hills by taxi at 4 am to enjoy the famous sunrise. It was a wonderful sight which we had never seen before. And that was the last day of our vacation.
第二部分
第一节
A
【文章大意】 本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了芝加哥艺术博物馆的一些参观事项。
21.D　细节理解题。根据Museum Hours部分中“Members: the first hour of every day, 10 am—11 am, is reserved for member-only viewing.”和“Thursday: 11 am—8 pm”可知,游客每天最多能在博物馆待10个小时。故选D。
22.D　细节理解题。根据JourneyMaker部分中“With the digital interactive JourneyMaker, you can build custom family guides based on your child’s interests—from superheroes to strange and wild creatures.”可知,家庭指南可以根据游客的需要定制。故选D。

【文章大意】 本文是一篇新闻报道。本文介绍了大学生贾京对木工技艺的热爱和执着追求,以及他的一些经历和目标。
24.D　细节理解题。根据第二段“‘It is essential to train young people in this craft,’ said the 20-year-old. ‘Not only does it ensure the preservation of carpentry (木工) skills, but there exist delicate wooden artifacts from ancient times that machines still cannot repeat.’”可知,贾京认为它展示了古代的木工智慧,所以年轻人应学习榫卯工法。故选D项。
25.C　细节理解题。根据第三段“But as a child, he couldn’t build furniture on his own. So, he conveyed this passion into building with Lego bricks at the age of 8.”以及第四段“I brainstormed a framework in my mind, and the next day I would start building it.”和第五段“This hobby significantly benefited Jia’s future furniture-making skills.”可知,搭建乐高提高了他的木工技术。故选C项。
26.A　推理判断题。根据倒数第三段“Beyond his theoretical studies, Jia also joined the school furniture-making training centre. Sawing, planing, and carving wood repeatedly every day can be an extremely dull job for most young people. While other students were enjoying their college life, Jia had already learned to bear loneliness and focus on achieving excellence.”可知,贾京每天反复锯、刨、雕木头,在其他学生还在享受大学生活时,贾京已经学会了忍受孤独,专注于追求卓越,由此推知,他牺牲了他的闲暇时间。故选A项。
27.C　主旨大意题。根据第三段“Growing up in a family with a carpenter father, Jia would constantly observe his father doing woodwork and sometimes assist him. This early exposure ignited (点燃) his passion and talent for carpentry.”以及倒数第二段“Recently, Jia’s commitment to this craft achieved a significant milestone. He was chosen as one of the candidates to compete on behalf of China at the 47th WorldSkills Competition in Lyon, France.”和最后一段“‘If I can represent China on the global stage, I will exert myself to become the winner,’ Jia said.”并纵观全文可知,本文主要介绍了大学生贾京对木工技艺的热爱和执着追求,以及他的一些经历和目标,所以C项“用木头雕刻梦想”是本文最好的标题。故选C项。
C
【文章大意】 本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讨论的是什么是真正的创新。
28.B　细节理解题。根据文章第一段“When I stepped into the Samcheong Park Library in Seoul, I saw the future. The simple building had a nice selection of books and a cafe where readers could enjoy coffee while gazing at the leaves outside.” 可知,首尔Samcheong公园图书馆是简单但让人耳目一新的。故选B项。
29.D　推理判断题。根据文章第三段“But that fear of missing out has led us to fall into the false traps of innovation over truly innovative ideas that may be simpler and more effective.”可知,我们可以从第三段中了解到创新的真正含义已经被公众误解了。故选D项。
30.B　推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Look no farther than the streets of New York, which have been redesigned recently to accommodate cyclists with car-free zones. The idea isn’t new. It was created half a century ago, with the aim of bringing cities back to their residents. And while e-reader sales have been exploding, Penguin just announced it would publish tiny printed books, an ideal solution for a market demanding both convenience and practicability.”可知,作者可能同意的观点是创新要以人为本。故选B项。
31.C　推理判断题。通读全文,尤其根据倒数第二段的“True innovation isn’t just some magic devices. It is a continuing process of reflection and reassessment, which often means adopting ‘old’ ideas and tools in a new context, or even returning to methods that worked in the past. Adjusted properly, these rearview (后视的) innovations have proved as transformative as novel technologies.”可知,本文主要讨论的是什么是真正的创新,因此文章的写作目的是让人们相信创新的真谛。故选C项。
D
【文章大意】 本文是说明文。本文通过介绍宜家效应以及几个实验研究的结果,说明了人们更加珍视自己亲手创造的东西,并由此引发了对自我建造住房的好处的思考。
32.D　细节理解题。根据第一段“The manufacturers discovered that requiring the addition of an egg in the baking process was just enough to make the housewives happy with their work. The greater sense of effort gained from a little extra labour is believed to have been essential to the later success of the cake mix.”可知,额外的努力给顾客带来了蛋糕烘焙的乐趣。故选D项。
33.B　句意理解题。根据前文“Interestingly, the IKEA effect works even when people have no opportunity to fully personalize their creations. While most participants’ folding skills left much to be desired, they loved their imperfectly personalized products all the more. Builders valued their wrinkled crane-like creations nearly five times as much as non-builders.”可知,本段主要讲述额外的劳动会让参与者更喜欢自己的作品,所以画线句意为“额外的劳动增加了感知价值”。故选B项。
34.D　推理判断题。根据最后一段“‘The moment people are involved with their built environment, they have a totally different relationship to it,’ WikiHouse co-founder Alastair Parvin explained. ‘When the roof starts leaking or a door starts creaking, they have the power to fix it themselves.’”可知,Alastair Parvin对公众参与住房建设持支持的态度。故选D项。
35.C　推理判断题。根据第二段“This reflects the IKEA effect (宜家效应), which is identified by psychologist Michael I. Norton and his colleagues, suggesting we place greater value on things we have worked to create. They conducted four studies in which they asked participants to fold paper cranes and frogs, assemble IKEA boxes, and build sets of Lego. They then asked the builders to bid (出价) for their creations, and compared the prices with bids from people who hadn’t built them. The builders consistently outbid the non-builders.”以及纵观全文可知,本文主要是在解释什么是宜家效应,所以本文的目的是解释一个概念。故选C项。
第二节
【文章大意】 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了在菜园里种菜给我们的成长带来的益处。
36.E　由上文“It is not only plants that grow in a garden.”可知,菜园里不仅可以种植物;由下文“It is more than just a practical exercise. It is something that makes you a better person.”可知,这不仅是一种实践练习,也能让你成为一个更好的人;由此可推知,设空处不仅提到了一种能在菜园里种植的新的东西,还提到了种植这种东西能带来的好处。结合选项可知,E项(在你的菜园里种植你自己的食物也可以帮助你成长。)符合语境,上下文语意连贯。故选E项。
37.F　设空处位于段尾,为总结句,总结全段内容。根据上文“In a garden, you will likely enjoy many successes, but you will experience many failures, too. This will help you build your patience, learn to handle disappointments and gain confidence.”可知,在菜园里种菜能让你享受成功,也能让你经历失败,能让你建立耐心,也能让你学会处理失望、获得信心。F项(那么你就更有能力应对生活带来的任何挑战。)与该段意思一致,总结该段内容。故选F项。
38.G　由上文“You can build more skills. Becoming resilient involves being able to take a greater level of control over your own basic needs.”和下文“You can build skills not only in gardening, but also in other skills like DIY, crafting, repair, cooking, and food preservation as you create and tend your garden and process the produce you grow.”可知,设空处提及的内容与园艺技能相关。G项(作为一名园丁,你可以培养更高水平的自力更生的关键技能。)符合语境。故选G项。
39.C　根据下文“Gardening can allow you to reduce daily concerns as you can harvest a lot from your space. This leaves more time and space for other considerations. You learn to look beyond your own basic needs and recognize the needs of others—human and non-human—in the world around you.”可知,本段讲的主要是超越自己的基本需求。C项(你可以学会考虑超越自己需求的问题。)在内容上与本段相符。故选C项。
40.D　根据下文“This is something that you will come to appreciate when you use your garden to the full. Recognizing the gifts that nature gives you can help to increase your compassion, to recognize that others are less fortunate, and to reach out to others in a wide range of ways.”可知,这些都是菜园子带来的好处。D项(如果你有一个菜园,那你很幸运。)符合语境。故选D项。

Dear Michael,
Welcome to our school community. I’m writing to extend a special invitation to you to join me in the upcoming Folk Art Festival in our city.
The Folk Art Festival is scheduled to take place in our city museum next week. It’s an annual event that showcases a variety of performances, including traditional music, dance, and drama. There will also be exhibitions of local handicrafts and culinary delights that are unique to our city.
I think this festival would be a fantastic opportunity for you as a new exchange student to immerse yourself in our culture and learn about our history and traditions first-hand. I would be delighted if you could join me in this event. Looking forward to your reply.
Yours sincerely,

第二节
【思路点拨】 本文以人物为线索展开,讲述了伊桑内心深处有成为画家的强烈愿望,但是因为害怕和疑虑,而不敢踏出第一步,威尔金斯太太注意到了这一点,在一天晚上拜访了伊桑,并用一只小鸟的故事激励他,这让伊桑放下担忧,勇敢地踏出成为画家的第一步。
【详解】
1. 段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“当威尔金斯太太说话时,伊桑感到一种温暖和希望的感觉涌上他的心头。”可知,第一段可描写伊桑受到威尔金斯太太的鼓舞,决定开始追求他的梦想。
②由第二段首句内容“那天晚上,多年来伊桑第一次拿起了他的画笔。”可知,第二段可描写伊桑第一次画画时的感受,以及完成画作后的感悟。
2. 续写线索:伊桑受到鼓舞—伊桑开始画画—伊桑的感悟
One possible version:
Ethan felt a sense of warmth and hope washing over him as Mrs Wilkins spoke. Her words seemed to resonate deeply with him, touching the very core of his fears and doubts (现在分词作状语). He felt inspired, as if a weight had been lifted off his shoulders (虚拟语气). “Maybe I can fly too,” he thought to himself, the newfound determination burning within his heart (独立主格). For the first time in a long while, he felt ready to face his fears and pursue his dreams.
That night, for the first time in many years, Ethan picked up his brush. His hand trembled slightly as he dipped it into the paint (时间状语从句), but there was the newfound confidence in his eyes. He began to paint, and with each stroke, he felt more and more at ease. Colours swirled and blended on the canvas, creating a beautiful and vibrant scene (现在分词作状语). Ethan felt like he was finally giving life to the dreams that had been buried deep within him for so long (定语从句). As he stepped back to admire his work (时间状语从句), a sense of pride and accomplishment washed over him. He knew that this was just the beginning of his journey (宾语从句), but he felt ready to take on whatever challenges lay ahead.单元素养测评卷(一)

The sunmao (榫卯) method of joinery was commonly used in ancient Chinese architecture and furniture. But when modern technology discourages many from mastering this ancient skill, Jia Jing, a junior student at Hubei Ecology Polytechnic College, offers his answer.
“It is essential to train young people in this craft,” said the 20-year-old. “Not only does it ensure the preservation of carpentry (木工) skills, but there exist delicate wooden artifacts from ancient times that machines still cannot repeat.”
Growing up in a family with a carpenter father, Jia would constantly observe his father doing woodwork and sometimes assist him. This early exposure ignited (点燃) his passion and talent for carpentry. But as a child, he couldn’t build furniture on his own. So, he conveyed this passion into building with Lego bricks at the age of 8.
“At that time, I would think before going to bed about what I would build tomorrow,” Jia recalled. “I brainstormed a framework in my mind, and the next day I would start building it.”
This hobby significantly benefited Jia’s future furniture-making skills. Before making any piece, Jia can quickly sketch a draft in his mind, which proves useful during the carving process.
When the moment arrived for Jia to head to college, he chose interior design at the suggestion of his father. Beyond his theoretical studies, Jia also joined the school furniture-making training centre. Sawing, planing, and carving wood repeatedly every day can be an extremely dull job for most young people. While other students were enjoying their college life, Jia had already learned to bear loneliness and focus on achieving excellence. “This experience not only improved my skills but also tested my character,” Jia said.
Recently, Jia’s commitment to this craft achieved a significant milestone. He was chosen as one of the candidates to compete on behalf of China at the 47th WorldSkills Competition in Lyon, France.
“If I can represent China on the global stage, I will exert myself to become the winner,” Jia said.
(　)24.Why should young people learn the sunmao method according to Jia Jing
A.It is key to making Chinese furniture.
B.It is better than modern technology.
C.It exhibits traditional Chinese culture.
D.It exhibits ancient carpentry wisdom.
(　)25.How did Lego benefit Jia Jing
A.Arousing his interest in carpentry.
B.Assisting his father in furniture making.
C.Improving his carpentry skills.
D.Preparing him for his ideal university.
(　)26.What did Jia sacrifice during his college time
A.His leisure time. B.His practical skills.
C.His theoretical studies. D.His original character.
(　)27.What can be the best title of this text

B.Preserving carpentry inside Lego
C.Carving dreams in wood
D.Continuing passion on the global stage

When I stepped into the Samcheong Park Library in Seoul, I saw the future. The simple building had a nice selection of books and a cafe where readers could enjoy coffee while gazing at the leaves outside. It was specifically designed without any latest technology.
“What’s so innovative about that ” a librarian in Toronto asked when I showed her pictures. Innovation to her meant digital technology, like 3D printers. “Why couldn’t they both be innovative ” I asked.
We are constantly told that innovation is the most important force in our economy, without which we would be left behind. But that fear of missing out has led us to fall into the false traps of innovation over truly innovative ideas that may be simpler and more effective. This mindset implies that if you just buy the new thing, you have innovated! Each year, businesses and individuals run around like broken toy robots, trying to figure out their strategy for the latest buzzword equipment.
At best, this is a waste of resources. Devices are bought, used and abandoned, as the technology’s capabilities fall short of its promises. But at its worst, this approach can truly cause damage. Schools cut field trips to purchase tablets with few proven panies that applied AI to hiring have actually strengthened gender and racial prejudices.
True innovation isn’t just some magic devices. It is a continuing process of reflection and reassessment, which often means adopting “old” ideas and tools in a new context, or even returning to methods that worked in the past. Adjusted properly, these rearview (后视的) innovations have proved as transformative as novel technologies.
Look no farther than the streets of New York, which have been redesigned recently to accommodate cyclists with car-free zones. The idea isn’t new. It was created half a century ago, with the aim of bringing cities back to their residents. And while e-reader sales have been exploding, Penguin just announced it would publish tiny printed books, an ideal solution for a market demanding both convenience and practicability.
(　)28.Which of the following best describes Samcheong Park Library
A.Dull but convenient.
B.Simple but refreshing.
C.Old-fashioned but cozy.
D.Unexceptional but spacious.
(　)29.What can we learn about innovation from Paragraph 3
A.Its true meaning is to buy new things.
B.It is important for the growth of economy.
C.It shouldn’t involve simple and effective ideas.
D.Its true meaning has been misread by the public.
(　)30.Which statement will the author probably agree with
A.Magic devices encourage innovation.
B.Innovation should be human-centred.
C.The power of technology is undervalued.
D.Wasting resources is a must for innovation.
(　)31.What is the writing purpose of the text
A.To introduce some best ideas about innovation.
B.To show that future lies in returning to the past.
C.To convince people of the true meaning of innovation.
D.To stress the important role innovation plays in the economy.

When instant cake mixes first appeared in the 1950s, American housewives were doubtful. These mixes, promising easy cake-baking, felt too easy. The manufacturers discovered that requiring the addition of an egg in the baking process was just enough to make the housewives happy with their work. The greater sense of effort gained from a little extra labour is believed to have been essential to the later success of the cake mix.
This reflects the IKEA effect (宜家效应), which is identified by psychologist Michael I. Norton and his colleagues, suggesting we place greater value on things we have worked to create. They conducted four studies in which they asked participants to fold paper cranes and frogs, assemble IKEA boxes, and build sets of Lego. They then asked the builders to bid (出价) for their creations, and compared the prices with bids from people who hadn’t built them. The builders consistently outbid the non-builders.
Interestingly, the IKEA effect works even when people have no opportunity to fully personalize their creations. While most participants’ folding skills left much to be desired, they loved their imperfectly personalized products all the more. Builders valued their wrinkled crane-like creations nearly five times as much as non-builders.Beauty, it seems, is in the eye of the builder.
Today, as cities are suffering from severe housing crises, the IKEA effect can give us insight into the well-being benefits of a self-building approach to housing development. Projects like WikiHouse and the “half-a-house” approach pioneered by Alejandro Aravena’s architecture company Elemental are working to make housing more affordable and sustainable by making it easier for people to build and personalize their own homes.
“The moment people are involved with their built environment, they have a totally different relationship to it,” WikiHouse co-founder Alastair Parvin explained. “When the roof starts leaking or a door starts creaking, they have the power to fix it themselves.”
(　)32.What brought customers the joy of cake-baking according to Paragraph 1
A.A better taste. B.An easy approach.
C.A detailed recipe. D.An additional effort.
(　)33.What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 3 imply
A.Creations are based on skills.
B.Extra labour increases perceived value.
C.Beauty is found through contrast.
D.Strict management brings good quality.
(　)34.What is Alastair Parvin’s attitude towards public involvement in housing
A.Critical. B.Objective.
C.Doubtful. D.Supportive.
(　)35.What’s the purpose of this text
A.To promote a brand. B.To make a proposal.
C.To explain a concept. D.To introduce a study.

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。
Ethan was a young man living in a small town. He was a bright soul with dreams, but he was also trapped by the chains of fear and doubt.
Ethan worked at a small bookshop, yet deep within, he had a strong desire to become a painter. Every evening, as the setting sun painted the sky orange and pink, Ethan would sit by his window, a blank canvas (画布) before him. Yet, no stroke (笔画) graced the canvas. The fear of failure and the whispers of doubt prevented him from painting. “What if I’m not good enough ” he often thought.
One cold autumn evening, an unexpected visitor came knocking at Ethan’s door—Mrs Wilkins, an elderly well-known woman of wisdom. “Ethan,” she began gently, “I’ve noticed the light in your room night after night, and yet, I’ve seen no colour grace the world from your hands. Why is that ”
Ethan sighed, the weight of his unspoken dreams heavy on his shoulders. He whispered, “I’m afraid that I’ll never be good enough and that my work will never touch the hearts of others.”
Mrs Wilkins smiled a kind, understanding smile. “Ethan,” she said, drawing closer, “let me tell you a story of a young bird, much like yourself, afraid to leave its nest. The little bird was always scared at the thought of flight. Day after day, it watched other birds fly into the sky, while it remained where it was, full of fear. The bird feared the unknown, feared failure, and most of all, feared that its wings were not strong enough to carry it. But then, one day, a storm approached, and the little bird had no choice but to jump into the storm. It was not an easy journey; the winds were very strong, and the rain blinded its eyes. Yet, with each flap (拍打) of its wings, the bird realized that it was able to fly.”
注意: 续写词数应为150个左右。
Paragraph 1:
Ethan felt a sense of warmth and hope washing over him as Mrs Wilkins spoke.


Paragraph 2:
That night, for the first time in many years, Ethan picked up his brush.
