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.

【文章大意】 本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章主要叙述了作者回顾了她青少年时期观看流星的经历,以及这种经历如何影响她决定在农场过独立的生活并让孩子在家接受教育。作者对比了成就感和满足感的概念,强调了在简单的时刻和在与大自然的联系中寻找意义和快乐的重要性。
24. D　细节理解题。根据第二段“I loved them so much that I invited my high school friends to my family farm and spent an August night in our sleeping bags on the hillside to watch them together.”和第三段中“I can’t help but think of that as the final night of my childhood.”可知,在一个八月的夜晚,作者和高中朋友一起在山坡上看流星,她把那一晚看作自己童年的终结。故选D。
25. C　推理判断题。根据第四段中“I’ve given lots of reasons over the past 13 years for my choice to live an independent life on a distant farm and homeschool my daughters. But deep down, I think the shooting stars had a lot to do with it.”可知,作者的选择和流星有很大关系。再根据第五段中“And I decided to lead a life tied to the seasons, where shooting stars were just one of many gifts from nature.”可推知,流星是自然的一部分,作者选择这种生活是因为她希望能够与自然密切联系。故选C。
26. B　推理判断题。作者在第七至第十段通过举例对accomplishment和fulfillment进行区分,尤其根据第七段中“Accomplishment is a child’s successful test scores. Fulfillment is loving and forgiving each other through times table (乘法表) and written words.”以及最后一段“It is learned that accomplishment is merely a mark in the book made as a result of following fulfillment above all else.”可知,成就表示取得的可以量化的成就,满足表示心理上的满足,选项B“Investing meaningful time with family members.”代表心理上的满足。故选B。
27. A　推理判断题。根据第四段“I’ve given lots of reasons over the past 13 years for my choice to live an independent life on a distant farm and homeschool my daughters. But deep down, I think the shooting stars had a lot to do with it. I couldn’t bear to gaze up at them and think that they were a finale to be witnessed before returning to the demands of school and careers.”以及第五段“So I said ‘no’ to all of it: no jobs, no school. And I decided to lead a life tied to the seasons, where shooting stars were just one of many gifts from nature.”可知,作者回顾了她青少年时期观看流星的经历,以及这种经历如何影响她决定在农场过独立的生活并让孩子在家接受教育,由此可推知,作者是独立的,同时作者对常规性的生活即工作和学校说不,决定过一种与季节息息相关的生活,体现出作者是不遵循传统的。故A选项“Independent and unconventional.”概括了作者的性格。故选A。
C
【文章大意】 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了生物医学领域的突破如何从深海微生物中获得启示,以及这些微生物如何为人类提供新的治疗和诊断方法。
28. C　推理判断题。根据文章第一段“Biomedical breakthroughs sometimes happen in the most unlikely places. Take the deep sea for an illustration. Under extreme conditions, at times of no oxygen, microbes (微生物) not only survive there, but they thrive. This incredible adaptation offers insight into how life evolved billions of years ago and how modern humans may be able to fight infections and diseases—tests used to diagnose (诊断) some viruses were developed with the help of an enzyme (酶) separated from microbes found in the ocean.”(生物医学的突破有时发生在最不可能的地方。以深海为例。在极端条件下,在没有氧气时,微生物不仅能在那里生存,而且还能茁壮成长。这种令人难以置信的适应能力让我们了解了数十亿年前生命是如何进化的,以及现代人类是如何对抗感染和疾病的——用于诊断一些病毒的测试是在从海洋微生物中分离出来的酶的帮助下发展起来的。)可推知,第一段主要告诉我们有时候可以从海洋微生物身上取得生物医学突破。故选C。
29. A　推理判断题。根据文章第一段“Take the deep sea for an illustration. Under extreme conditions, at times of no oxygen, microbes (微生物) not only survive there, but they thrive. This incredible adaptation offers insight into how life evolved billions of years ago and how modern humans may be able to fight infections and diseases—tests used to diagnose (诊断) some viruses were developed with the help of an enzyme (酶) separated from microbes found in the ocean.”可推知,海洋微生物即便在极端条件下,也能生存甚至茁壮成长,拥有极强的适应能力。故选A。
30. A　细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“To our naked eyes, it looks like there’s nothing there but there’s huge potential.”(在我们的肉眼看来,那里什么都没有,但却有巨大的潜力。)以及最后一段“This is tough, but I do hope people realize that the more we can learn about microbes, the better off we are.”(这很难,但我确实希望人们意识到,我们对微生物了解得越多,我们的生活就越好。)可知,Virginia Edgcomb认为对微生物了解得越多会对人类有益。故选A。
31. B　主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“Biomedical breakthroughs sometimes happen in the most unlikely places”、第三段“The deep sea has already given us chemicals to treat certain cancer or nerve damage. Breakthroughs have also come from the ocean depths in the form of diagnostic tools.”(深海已经为我们提供了治疗某些癌症或神经损伤的化学物质。突破也以诊断工具的形式来自海洋深处。)以及全文内容可知,文章主要介绍了科学家们在深海中发现微生物,并利用这些微生物产生的化学物质对抗病毒和其他疾病,以及这些微生物在医学领域中的应用前景。由此可推知,最适合的标题是“Finding answers in the deep ocean”。故选B。
D
【文章大意】 本文为一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了在数字时代,过量的信息会造成学习停滞的问题,因此,在学习过程中,实践经验能帮助我们更全面地理解学习的知识,从而实现目标。
32. C　细节理解题。根据文章第一段“However, there exists a phenomenon where excessive learning can lead to inaction, a state of being overwhelmed by too much information.”可知,数字时代给学习提供了太多的信息,这些信息给人们带来困惑,由此可推知,这些信息带来的困惑阻止人们达到学习目标。故选C项。
33. B　推理判断题。根据文章第三段“This situation is a common trap: the endless pursuit of more information. Although gaining comprehensive knowledge is valuable, that is to say there’s nothing wrong with learning a lot, and issues arise when this pursuit obstructs practical application.”可知,作者认为学习很多知识并没有错,但当这种追求阻碍了实际应用时,就出现了问题。根据第四段“An alternative and more effective approach to achieving goals is to strike a balance between learning and doing.”可知,在学习与实践之间要寻求一种平衡,由此可推知,作者建议人们要立刻采取实际行动。故选B项。
34. D　推理判断题。根据第四段“This is often the best way to learn, as hands-on experience provides insights that theoretical knowledge alone cannot.”可知,学习的最好方法是通过实践去积累经验。再结合第五段“A baby doesn’t learn to walk by sitting and analysing the process. Instead, it learns by attempting to walk, falling, and then understanding from each fall what works and what doesn’t. Through repeated effort, walking is eventually mastered. This method is applicable to goal achievement too. By engaging in action, learning from the outcomes, and adjusting accordingly, you gradually move closer to your goals.”可知,婴儿通过不断的实践来学习走路,在行动中不断地积累经验,由此可推知,第五段通过“婴儿学习走路”的例子来解释通过行动和经验来学习这个观点。故选D项。
35. A　主旨大意题。根据文章全文,尤其是最后一段“In summary, while the pursuit of knowledge is valuable, it’s crucial not to let it become a barrier to action. Learning should be a stepping stone to doing, not an end in itself. It’s through the interplay of gathering knowledge and applying it that we can truly progress towards our ambitions.”可知,在追求知识时,关键是不要让其成为行动的障碍,由此可推知,本文介绍了在学习的过程中,应将知识和实践相结合,这样能更好地实现目标,所以A项为本文的最佳标题。故选A项。
第二节

36. D　下文“The answer is: to a large extent, yes you can.”(答案是:在很大程度上,你可以。)是对上文的回答,因此上文应为疑问句,D项“So, can you learn to develop superhuman charm ”(所以,你能学会发展超人的魅力吗 )是一般疑问句,句意衔接恰当。故选D项。

第四部分
第一节
One possible version:
Dear Helen,
I am more than happy to tell you a “Go Farming” activity organized by our school last weekend.
We set off for the Sunshine Farm at 8:00 am on Sunday. On arrival, some experienced volunteers gave a brief introduction of the life circle of cherry tomatoes before proceeding to show us how to harvest them. Then we joined the farmers and picked up lovely cherry tomatoes joyfully. We were given opportunities to taste their flavours, which greatly satisfied our appetite.
Through the activity,not only did I realize the value of physical labour, but also I experienced the happiness of harvest. I do hope you have the chance to take part in such a rewarding activity.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua
第二节
【思路点拨】 本文以人物为线索展开,讲述了Harry不想学游泳,他不明白学游泳有什么用,但Harry的父母认为,一个健康的男孩害怕风和海是一件很可惜的事,在父母的坚持下,Harry学会了游泳,当他们在Seacliff避暑时,Harry遇到了Ann,Ann说她的妹妹Alice溺水了,她要去找个会游泳的人来救她。
【详解】
1. 段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“Harry立刻跑回海滨浴场。”可知,第一段可以描写Harry如何救Ann的妹妹Alice。
②由第二段首句内容“他们一到了安全的距离,很多人帮助他们上岸;然而,Harry才是真正的英雄。”可知,第二段可以描写Harry受到了人们的赞赏并且他意识到游泳技能的价值。
2. 续写线索:Harry到达Alice溺水的地方—Harry奋力救人—Harry抓住Alice—Harry把Alice从水里拉出来—人们鼓掌—Harry很自豪—Harry意识到游泳的价值
One possible version:
Harry ran back to the bathing place at once. He had scarcely reached the place when he spotted a girl struggling in the water. The situation was so dangerous and urgent that there was no time to waste. Although Harry was nervous and anxious, he set his teeth and dived into the water with fierce determination. With attentive strokes, he quickly approached the girl and reached out to grab her arm. Knowing the importance of haste, Harry used all his strength to pull her through the water, focusing solely on her rescue.
There were plenty of hands to help carry them to land once they were within a safe distance; however, it was Harry who was the true hero. Thunderous applause erupted, acknowledging Harry’s bravery and selflessness. A sense of pride surged within Harry as he realized that without his prior swimming experience and the confidence it had instilled in him, he might not have been able to save the girl, which was the ultimate reward. From that moment on, Harry never questioned the value of swimming skills and continued to improve them, cherishing the preciousness of life.阶段素养测评卷(二)

A
The following are some markets which have become tourist attractions.
Wiener Christkindlmarkt, Austria
Known as Viennese dream Christmas Market, Wiener Christkindlmarkt, or Rathausplatz, is one of the Austrian capital’s oldest and most traditional attractions. It has a 150-square-metre children’s ice rink (溜冰场). Tree of Hearts, a giant maple tree with hundreds of shining red hearts, is a hot favourite with visitors to have a picture.
Open time: November 10—December 26
Basel Christmas Market, Switzerland
Basel Christmas Market is divided into two different sections at Barfusserplatz and Munsterplatz. Family attractions include the Christmas fairy tale tree at Munsterplatz with activities such as gingerbread and candle decorating, a star workshop and a festive train.
Open time: November 23—December 23
Strasbourg Christmas Market, France
One of Europe’s oldest Christmas markets, Strasbourg began back in 1570, drawing over two million people every year. Place Kleber is probably its most popular place thanks to the great Christmas tree.
Open time: November 24—December 24

I was 17 when I discovered shooting stars.
I loved them so much that I invited my high school friends to my family farm and spent an August night in our sleeping bags on the hillside to watch them together.
I can’t help but think of that as the final night of my childhood. I always managed to squeeze myself in a week or two of the vacation before starting back at school, and I’d see shooting stars and remember that brilliant night on the hill. While still marveling at them, I’d work at convincing myself that the joy I’d experience from my accomplishments in college would soon replace my longing for some quiet time beneath a vast sky. But always, I returned to college life in August with deep sadness in my heart.
I’ve given lots of reasons over the past 13 years for my choice to live an independent life on a distant farm and homeschool my daughters. But deep down, I think the shooting stars had a lot to do with it. I couldn’t bear to gaze up at them and think that they were a finale to be witnessed before returning to the demands of school and careers.
So I said “no” to all of it: no jobs, no school. And I decided to lead a life tied to the seasons, where shooting stars were just one of many gifts from nature.
I changed my life to make room for them and I’m starting to learn the difference between fulfillment and accomplishment.
Accomplishment is a child’s successful test scores. Fulfillment is loving and forgiving each other through times table (乘法表) and written words.
Accomplishment is the publication of 20 essays per year and six books. Fulfillment is the hours spent researching, then walking through the woods to think about each word and thought.
Accomplishment is making enough income to cover my taxes. Fulfillment is sitting outside at 3 am in August, watching the shooting stars, no longer sad at the passage of childhood, but thrilled for the joy of the stars.
It is learned that accomplishment is merely a mark in the book made as a result of following fulfillment above all else.
(　)24. What does the author believe indicates the end of her childhood
A. Departing for college.
B. Witnessing falling stars at home.
C. Resting in a sleeping bag on a farm.
D. Observing shooting stars with friends.
(　)25. What led to the author homeschooling her daughters
A. The aspiration for independence.
B. The necessity of residing on a farm.
C. The wish for a lifestyle connected with nature.
D. The requirements of education and professions.
(　)26. Which of the following could the author view as fulfillment
A. Earning a gold medal in a sports tournament.
B. Investing meaningful time with family members.
C. Acquiring a spacious, charming, and cozy residence.
D. Attaining a prominent position in a famous company.
(　)27. What kind of person is the author
A. Independent and unconventional.
B. Determined and open-minded.
C. Responsible and insightful.
D. Diligent and dedicated.
C
Biomedical breakthroughs sometimes happen in the most unlikely places. Take the deep sea for an illustration. Under extreme conditions, at times of no oxygen, microbes (微生物) not only survive there, but they thrive. This incredible adaptation offers insight into how life evolved billions of years ago and how modern humans may be able to fight infections and diseases—tests used to diagnose (诊断) some viruses were developed with the help of an enzyme (酶) separated from microbes found in the ocean.
“We’ve found marine microbes that produce antimicrobials—basically chemical weapons that help them fight off other organisms and resist viruses,” says Virginia Edgcomb, a microbiologist investigating deep-sea bacteria. These microbes feed on tough substances and produce antimicrobial chemicals.
The deep sea has already given us chemicals to treat certain cancer or nerve damage. Breakthroughs have also come from the ocean depths in the form of diagnostic tools.
The pathway to developing tests started back in 1969 when some heat-loving microbes were found in the depth of 5,000 metres beneath the sea. By mid-1980s, the humble microbes had enabled a major advance in the emerging field of genetics. Scientists found that their enzymes remained stable enough to make millions of copies of a single DNA sequence (序列) in just a few hours, essentially upgrading geneticists’ tools.
“A lot of people think of the deep sea as a desert,” Virginia says. “To our naked eyes, it looks like there’s nothing there but there’s huge potential. What I can do as a science researcher is record the remarkable diversity of microbes and make their gene sequence available, which may help lead to treatment or diagnostic tools in the future.”
“We need to have people constantly exploring the fascinating habitats in order to continue uncovering a new page of medically-relevant enzymes,” Virginia says. “This is tough, but I do hope people realize that the more we can learn about microbes, the better off we are.”
(　)28. What does Paragraph 1 aim to tell us
A. The need to deal with infections and diseases.
B. Incredible conditions for microbes to survive.
C. Biomedical inspirations from undersea microbes.
D. Significant breakthroughs of human development.
(　)29. What can be inferred about marine microbes from the text
A. They develop adaptability even in tough conditions.
B. They merely enhance our understanding of diseases.
C. They lead to progress in tools to test stable enzymes.
D. They present us with treatment for common cancers.
(　)30. What do Virginia Edgcomb’s words in the last two paragraphs suggest 　
A. More awareness of microbes will benefit humans.
B. The deep sea microbes may help us with desert issues.
C. Researchers’ future task is to record medical treatment.
D. We should explore more habitats to free us from microbes.
(　)31. What is a suitable title for the text
A. Chemical weapons against viruses
B. Finding answers in the deep ocean
C. A look back at research in microbes
D. Future ways to upgrade human DNA
D
In today’s digital age, where a vast ocean of information is just a click away, the question arises: Can one learn too much Given that no individual can grasp the entirety of human knowledge. However, there exists a phenomenon where excessive learning can lead to inaction, a state of being overwhelmed by too much information.
Consider a situation where you’re eager to achieve a particular goal. You begin by conducting extensive research, diving deep into the subject. As you absorb more information, it paradoxically (矛盾地) feels like your understanding weakens. Each new concept or strategy reveals further layers, making the goal seem more complex and out of reach.
This situation is a common trap: the endless pursuit of more information. Although gaining comprehensive knowledge is valuable, that is to say there’s nothing wrong with learning a lot, and issues arise when this pursuit obstructs practical application. If learning continuously prevents you from starting, you’ll find yourself stuck, unable to achieve your desired outcomes.
An alternative and more effective approach to achieving goals is to strike a balance between learning and doing. Gather essential information, and then transition into action swiftly, even if you feel somewhat unprepared. This is often the best way to learn, as hands-on experience provides insights that theoretical knowledge alone cannot.
The comparison with a baby learning to walk is a good example here. A baby doesn’t learn to walk by sitting and analysing the process. Instead, it learns by attempting to walk, falling, and then understanding from each fall what works and what doesn’t. Through repeated effort, walking is eventually mastered. This method is applicable to goal achievement too. By engaging in action, learning from the outcomes, and adjusting accordingly, you gradually move closer to your goals.
In summary, while the pursuit of knowledge is valuable, it’s crucial not to let it become a barrier to action. Learning should be a stepping stone to doing, not an end in itself. It’s through the interplay of gathering knowledge and applying it that we can truly progress towards our ambitions.
(　)32. What stops people from achieving the goal
A. The distraction caused by unrelated tasks.
B. The inability to find relevant information.
C. The confusion caused by the information.
D. The desire to learn basic concept or strategy.
(　)33. What does the author try to advocate in Paragraph 3 & Paragraph 4
A. Sticking to continuous learning.
B. Taking practical action without delay.
C. Gaining as much knowledge as possible.
D. Prioritizing theoretical knowledge in study.
(　)34. Why is the example “a baby learning to walk” mentioned in Paragraph 5
A. To compare different learning styles.
B. To show the importance of making mistakes.
C. To emphasize the need for parental guidance.
D. To illustrate learning through action and experience.
(　)35. What makes the best title for the passage
A. The harmony of learning and doing
B. The process of accessing information
C. The pursuit of advanced knowledge
D. The significance of hands-on experience

Life isn’t fair. Some people just seem blessed with the ability to effortlessly charm anyone they meet. Well, it might seem like a magical power, but in fact there are a number of factors at work. 36.　　　　 The answer is: to a large extent, yes you can.
But first, the bad news. People initially judge each other based purely on physical appearance. With just a glimpse of a face, people make snap judgements about each other’s likeability, trustworthiness and confidence. How should we deal with this 37.　　　　 People perceive a smiling face as more trustworthy, warmer and more sociable. It sounds like common sense, doesn’t it Smile and others will smile at you.
What other tricks might we have 38.　　　　 Consequently, three things we can do to signal that we are not a threat: raise our eyebrows quickly, tilt (仰起) our heads slightly, and once again, smile.
So we’ve looked at body language, but of course what you say is hugely important too, unless you want to just stand there grinning foolishly. The golden rule of friendship is if you make people feel good about themselves, they’re going to like you. In other words, you should not talk about yourself and all your wonderful achievements. 39.　　　
Finally, finding common ground is good to form a connection. Charming people are particularly skilled at seeking out shared interests or experiences to bond with others. Simple things like asking where someone’s from really can open up a discussion and allow you to find areas in common. And if all else fails, you can fall back on the most British of topics: the weather. 40.　　　
A. It can be a nice start of a conversation.
B. Instead, you need to show interest in them.
C. There’s one incredibly simple tool: your smile.
D. So, can you learn to develop superhuman charm
E. What good tricks can we employ to become charming
F. Shared interests are the key to making connections with others.
G. Our brains often survey the environment for friend or enemy signals.

Harry’s reward
Harry didn’t want to learn to swim. He couldn’t figure out what the use of learning to swim was. But Harry’s parents believed it was a great pity for a healthy boy to be afraid of the wind and the sea.
“Everybody, especially every Englishman and boy, should know how to swim,” Papa had said. “There is never any knowing the use it may be of.”
“Isn’t it very hard to learn ” Harry asked.
“It takes some patience,” his father said. “But in three weeks or so, you should be able to swim fairly well, if you have a lesson every day.”
There was no escaping it, however. Papa, though very kind, was very firm, and once he said a thing, it had to be done. So with a rather white face, poor Harry set off every day for his swimming lesson. He was a quick, clever and strong boy, and his father knew this. After the initial fear was overcome, it went on better and faster than could have been expected. Two weeks later, Harry had the pleasure of hearing his father say to his mother, “He swims already very nearly as well as I do myself.”
Seacliff, the place at which the family was spending the summer, was not a fashionable watering place but a little village. There were a few gentlemen’s houses in the neighbourhood, so that in fine weather merry groups met at the little sheltered bay among the rocks.
One day, Harry, having finished his own morning swim, set off to walk home at his ease. Suddenly a sound disturbed his pleasant thoughts. A carriage (马车) was rushing wildly along, coming nearer and nearer. The driver, Ann, stood upright in the carriage, hitting the poor horse as if she were mad, while from time to time she screamed, “Help! Help!”
“What is it ” screamed Harry too, as Ann passed. She would not stop, but she threw back some words through the wind. “My sister—Alice—is drowning (溺水的). Go to the village to fetch someone who can swim.”
注意:续写词数应为150个左右。
Paragraph 1:
Harry ran back to the bathing place at once.


Paragraph 2:
There were plenty of hands to help carry them to land once they were within a safe distance; however, it was Harry who was the true hero.
