学校:___________姓名:___________班级:___________考号:___________
一、阅读理解
London and Paris are two of Europe’s biggest tourist destinations, just a few hours away from each other by road or rail and an hour’s distance by air. What about the train-ferry combination that many recall fondly from their childhoods Well, though it’s budget-saving, this option is too time-consuming today, so better leave it to your memories. Since the UK is not part the Schengen Area, passengers need to go through passport control prior to boarding.
Air trips
Though flying between London and Paris is by no means recommended, there are still a few people traveling between the two dynamic cities by air. A very low one-way fare is possible through advanced booking, but of course it’s rare, and that doesn’t include the taxi and rail fares traveling to and from the airports.
* One-way fares from Paris can be as low as 49;
* From London, Air France flies with fares as low as 39(46), and British Airways as low as 48 (56).
Rail trips
The only direct train between London and Paris is the Eurostar, which travels 15 -17 times per weekday. Eurostar’s 2015 edition trains can make the journey in two hours at speeds of up to 320 km/h. Besides, they offer good seating space.
* Fares begin at a reasonable 58(68), round trip;
* The earlier you book, the more you save.
Bus trips
The bus is by far the least expensive and longest way to travel between Paris and London. Eurolines and OUIBUS are two major bus lines traveling between the two capitals. The journey takes between seven and nine hours. Both lines advertise free Wi-Fi.
* One-way Eurolines fares begin at 15;
* One-way OUIBUS fares begin at 15 too, but early bird sales can even lower the fare.
1、Which way is probably the cheapest for a round trip
A. By train-ferry. B. By air. C. By rail. D. By bus.
2、What special service does the bus trip provide
A. Free booking. B. Taxi pickup.
C. Good seating space. D. Free Wi-Fi.
3、What do the trips have in common with each other
A. There are different competing companies.
B. They are cheaper if booked ahead of time.
C. They are more expensive from the Paris end.
D. There are still additional fees to be included.
By my mid-20s, I’d finished my master in psychology, and I was working in Dublin as a health researcher. It was mostly data and statistics work staring at a screen. I was earning more than most of my friends, living the city life, going out at weekends. I had a good pension (养老金) and annual leave but it caused a lot of anxiety and worry. I was really unhappy.
I wanted to get back to feeling passionate about something so I started thinking about the things I used to love. As a child, I’d always been involved in the outdoors, and I used to love hiking but all that had stopped after secondary school. I decided to volunteer with a local youth group and within a month, I’d gone camping with them. I absolutely loved it. It was likes witching on a lightbulb. This was what I’d been missing.
I started taking courses in mountain skills and wilderness first aid, and by August I was working my usual job in the week, and I was a climbing club leader at weekends. I loved connecting with nature, connecting with other people.
Through all this, I learnt about the whole field of nature-based therapies (疗法). It was the perfect fit to combine my psychology background with my passion for the outdoors. I began taking courses in wild therapy, forest bathing and ecopsychology. I left my government job and in July 2020 I launched my business Nature Therapy Ireland, which is booming now.
I’d thought I’d always live in a city but last year, I moved to Tipperary to live at the foot of a mountain, surrounded by nature. If I’m feeling stressed, I can step outside in my bare feet and stand on the grass to ground myself. In Dublin, the front door felt like a barrier—I had to have my keys, my phone, my jacket before I could even go out and find a green space. My life now is leading nature connection hikes and forest bathing walks. My salary has halved for the moment but I’ve adjusted. I’ve never looked back.
4、What did the writer think of her job in Dublin
A. Stressful. B. Valueless. C. Insecure. D. Demanding.
5、What does the underlined sentence mean in paragraph 2
A. She enjoyed her voluntary work.
B. She realized what she really loved.
C. Recalling the past made her happy.
D. A bright future was in store for her.
6、What drove the writer to launch her business Nature Therapy Ireland
A. Her adventurous experience.
B. Her leadership and background.
C. Her connection with other people.
D. Her major and passion for nature.
7、Why did the writer compare her life in Dublin with that in Tipperary
A. To highlight how boring city life was.
B. To call on people to get back to nature.
C. To show her satisfaction with her change.
D. To indicate how successful her business was.
A lot of businesses are started by people who have hobbies or special talents and want to turn these interests into a business. But switching from a hobby to a real business requires business know-how and investments, which stops many people. However, an increasing number of ambitious business owners have found a way to take a first step. They are taking their dreams and talents on the road — in vans (小货车) and lorries, and even horse trucks.
Beginning on a small scale has its advantages, the most important of which is the relatively modest size of start-up costs. These costs, which consist primarily of the vehicle and any required equipment, usually come to about only 5, 000 - 10, 000. With such tightly controlled costs, mobile businesses often break even in a year or two; in contrast, success comes to brick-and-mortar businesses much more slowly, and they often fail within the first two years. In short, mobile businesses are relatively low-risk.
The first enterprisers to do this have been in the food business. The mobile food vendor (小贩) trend in the US and Europe has spread to other parts of the globe. The success of these street food vans has inspired other enterprisers to consider starting out on wheels.
UK enterprisers could take inspiration from the US where, today, there are vehicles that sell flowers, shoes, clothes and all kinds of specialty food items. There are also mobile businesses that provide services, such as hair styling, pet grooming and repair of high-tech devices. Mobile retail (零售) is not without problems, however. Weather, the increasing price of fuel, and just finding a place to set up are all challenges that mobile enterprisers have to deal with. These business owners, however, feel the advantages outweigh the disadvantages. In the US, the mobile food business alone generates an average annual income of $857 million.
Once convinced that their business has achieved enough success, some successful mobile enterprisers move on to a brick-and-mortar business. Others are satisfied to stay mobile. As stand-alone businesses or as extensions of shops, mobile retail has huge future potential in these economic times.
8、What’s the major cause for the rise of mobile business
A. High profit. B. Strong interest.
C. Low investment. D. Convenient transport.
9、How does the author prove the advantages of mobile business in paragraph 2
A. By quoting a famous saying. B. By giving an example.
C. By providing an explanation. D. By making a comparison.
10、What can we know about mobile business
A. Food business is the biggest mobile business.
B. Mobile business in UK involves all walks of life.
C. Weather brings the most challenge to mobile enterprisers.
D. Mobile enterprisers often move to brick-and-mortar businesses.
11、What’s the author’s attitude towards the future of mobile business
A. Negative. B. Positive. C. Unconcerned. D. Neutral.
We are all aware of the damaging pollution that’s created by driving petrol and diesel (柴油) vehicles. Many of the world’s cities are blocked with traffic, creating fumes containing gases such as nitrogen oxides. The solution for a cleaner, greener future could be electric vehicles. But how optimistic should we be There was much excitement last year when the UK government announced it will ban the sale of new petrol and diesel cars from 2030. But is that easier said than done
The road to global traffic being totally electric is still a long way off. Currently, battery life is an issue — a fully charged battery won’t take you as far as a full tank of petrol. There are also limited numbers of charging points to plug an EV into. Of course, technology is always improving. Some of the biggest tech companies, like Google and Tesla, are spending huge amounts of money developing electric cars. And most of the big car manufacturers are now making them too. Colin Herron, a consultant on low-carbon vehicle technology, told the BBC: “The big leap forward will come with solid state batteries, which will appear first in mobile phones and laptops before they progress to cars.”
These will charge more quickly and give cars a bigger range. Cost is another issue that may discourage people switching to electric power. But some countries offer incentive, such as cutting prices by reducing import taxes, and not charging for road tax and parking. Some also provide exclusive lanes for electric cars to be driven on, overtaking traditional cars which might be stuck in jams.
These kinds of measures have made Norway the country with the most electric cars per capita (人均) at more than thirty electric cars per 1000 inhabitants. But Colin Herron warns that “electric motoring” doesn’t mean a zero-carbon future. “It’s emission-free motoring, but the car has to be built, the battery has to be built, and the electricity does come from somewhere.” Maybe it’s time to think about making fewer journeys or using public transport.
12、What can we infer from the question at the end of paragraph 1
A. We should not be too optimistic about the future.
B. Electric vehicles may not solve the traffic problems.
C. It’s not a good idea to replace petrol vehicles with electric ones.
D. It is not easy to obtain a greener future by means of electric vehicles.
13、What does the underlined word “incentive” mean in paragraph 3
A. compensation B. allowance C. encouragement D. privilege
14、Which statement is true according to the passage
A. Electric motoring will create a zero-carbon future.
B. Electric cars might not get stuck in traffic jams in the future.
C. There are four obstacles on the road to global traffic being totally electric.
D. Putting solid-state batteries in electric cars first will be a “great leap forward”.
15、What is the most suitable title for the text
A. Total Electric Traffic: a Long Way to Go
B. Electric Vehicles: a Road to a Greener Future
C. Electric Power or Petrol: a Tough Decision to Make
D. Petrol and Diesel Vehicles: a Main source of Gases
二、七选五
16、How to communicate complex information
Did you ever have to read a presentation where you felt like you’re lost in confusing terms, data and concepts Are you giving others this same experience ①_________But there are ways you can simplify your presentation and reengage your audience. Here’s how you can get complex information across.
Use interactive content. It gets the readers more involved in your presentation by letting them play an active part. ②_________ Beyond that, questionnaires and chatbots provide personalized and specific answers to readers as part of your presentation. Making your presentation interactive used to be hard, but now you can just use Storydoc. Go make your first interactive presentation. It’s easy as pie.
③_________ No one will read a presentation with a thousand words. Do everyone a favor and use images. Images can be super effective at communicating complex information and save you a lot of needless text. In fact, visual representation of data and concepts can often convey what words cannot. Use diagrams and images to illustrate your points and simplify the complex. Narrate your content.
④_________Whether it’s through text to speech AI or video bubbles, centering your presentation around a story can help guide your audience through the complexity, making it more digestible, engaging, and memorable.
Use examples and fables. They can help explain clearly the complexity of ideas for they are what we’ve already known and understood. ⑤_________ More importantly, the real secret lies in selecting examples that are not just familiar but also deeply relevant—those are the ones that will truly ring with your listeners.
A. Show, don’t tell.
B. Make every word count.
C. This makes the complex concepts less new and more familiar.
D. If you don’t sound excited, the listeners won’t feel excited either.
E. Storytelling is another powerful tool of communicating complex concepts.

六、读后续写
34、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 I was six, I played my first soccer game. It was a real game, complete with coaches, uniforms, and parents cheering from the sidelines.
Our two teams, Team One and Team Two, seemed pretty evenly matched, at least in the beginning. The first period ended without a single goal scored by either side. We were all still learning how to play the game properly, and our inexperience ran through this part. We stumbled over the ball, tripped over our own feet, and often completely missed our kicks. But what mattered most was that we were having fun, pure and simple.
The second quarter brought a significant change in the game. Our coach decided to pull out most of our starting players and put in the substitutes (替补), except for me—I was left guarding the goal. On the other side, Team Two’s coach decided to keep their best players on the field, which made things even more challenging for us. It seemed that winning suddenly become essential, even for us six-year-olds.
Team Two started to rule the game and I found myself surrounded by their players whenever they came near our goal. I was determined to do my best, but it was tough. I couldn’t match the skills of three or four other really good players. Team Two began to score, one goal after another. I threw myself in front of the ball with all the energy I could gather, trying desperately to stop them but in vain.
The pressure was mounting, and I could feel my frustration building with every goal that slipped past me. I shouted, I ran, and I dove, but they kept scoring. I gave it everything I had, but it seemed useless.
My parents were there on the sidelines, and I could see them in the crowd. As the game progressed, I could see the change in my father’s expression. He had been urging me to try harder, yelling advice and encouragement from the sidelines, but now he seemed different. I could see the pain in his eyes, the pain he felt seeing me struggle. It made me want to cry.
注意:1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Team Two scored their fourth goal, and it was half-time break.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
In that moment, what my father said meant the world to me.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

1、答案:D
解析:细节理解题。根据第一段中“What about the train-ferry combination that many recall fondly from their childhoods Well, though it’s budget-saving, this option is too time-consuming today, so better leave it to your memories. (火车和轮渡的组合会让许多人回忆起童年时的美好回忆吗 好吧,虽然这是节省预算,但这个选择在今天太耗时了,所以最好留给你的记忆) ”可知,作者不建议搭乘火车轮渡组合,且没有给出具体价格,所以无法比较。根据Air trips中“* One-way fares from Paris can be as low as ?49; * From London, Air France flies with fares as low as 39(?46), and British Airways as low as 48(?56) (从巴黎来的单程票价可以低到?49;从伦敦起飞,法航的机票价格低到 39(?46),英国航空公司的最低水平 48(?56)) ”可知,乘坐飞机往返的最低票价是49+46=95欧元;根据Rail trips中“* Fares begin at a reasonable 58(?68), round trip; (票价以合理的价格开始 58(?68),往返)”可知,乘火车的话往返最低是68欧元;根据Bus trip中“* One-way Eurolines fares begin at ?15;* One-way OUIBUS fares begin at ?15 too, but early bird sales can even lower the fare. (Eurolines线路的单程票价从?15起;OUIBUS线路的单程票从?15起,但早起购买可以得到更低票价)”可知,乘汽车,往返票价最低是30欧元,甚至更低。由此可知,往返旅行最便宜的是乘汽车。故选D。

16、答案:①-⑤FGAEC
解析:①根据空前“Did you ever have to read a presentation where you felt like you’re lost in confusing terms, data and concepts Are you giving others this same experience (你是否曾经读过一篇演讲,感觉自己迷失在混乱的术语、数据和概念中?你会给别人同样的经历吗?)”可知空前就交流中可能出现的术语、数据和概念的混乱提出了两个问题,根据空后“But there are ways you can simplify your presentation and reengage your audience. Here’s how you can get complex information across. (但是有一些方法可以简化你的演讲并重新吸引你的听众。下面是如何传递复杂信息的方法。)”可知此处指出有一些可以传递复杂信息的方法,空处承上启下,所以空处应该提出传递复杂信息这个话题,F项Communicating complex information is a common challenge in presentations. (在演讲中,传达复杂的信息是一个常见的挑战。)提出传递复杂信息这个话题,承接上文,引出下文,符合上下文语境。故选F项。
②根据空前“Use interactive content. It gets the readers more involved in your presentation by letting them play an active part. (使用交互式内容。这会让读者更积极地参与到你的演讲中来。)”可知本段的建议是使用交互式内容,根据空后“Beyond that, questionnaires and chatbots provide personalized and specific answers to readers as part of your presentation. (除此之外,问卷调查和聊天机器人为读者提供个性化和具体的答案,作为你演讲的一部分。)”可知此处仍然讲的是交互式内容的好处,空处呈上启下,所以空处应该就空前所提到的交互式内容举出例子,G项For example, allow them to choose the content route they wish to take and control the pace. (例如,允许他们选择他们想要的内容路线并控制节奏。)举例说明如何使用交互式内容,承接上文,引出下文,符合上下文语境。故选G项。
③空处位于句首,应是本段的主旨句。根据空后“No one will read a presentation with a thousand words. Do everyone a favor and use images. (没有人会读一篇一千字的报告。帮大家一个忙,使用图片。)”可知此处讲的是要善于运用图片而不是篇幅较长的文字来展示自己所讲的内容,所以空处的建议应该是运用展示而不是讲的方式来传递复杂信息,A项Show, don’t tell(展示,不要告诉)指出要用展示的方式,概括了本段的主旨大意,符合上下文语境。故选A项。
④根据本段小标题“Narrate your content. (叙述你的内容。)”可知本段的建议是运用讲故事的方式来传递复杂信息,根据空后“Whether it’s through text to speech Al or video bubbles, centering your presentation around a story can help guide your audience through the complexity, making it more digestible, engaging, and memorable. (无论是通过文本到语音还是视频气泡,以故事为中心的演讲都可以帮助引导观众理解复杂的内容,使其更容易理解、更吸引人、更难忘。)”可知此处讲的仍然是通过讲故事的形式来传递信息的好处,所以空后应该对这一建议所能采用的方法进行进一步的解释,E项Storytelling is another powerful tool for communicating complex concepts. (讲故事是传达复杂概念的另一个强大工具。)指出了讲故事是叙述的传达复杂概念的一种强大工具,符合上下文语境。故选E项。
⑤根据空前“Use examples and fables. They can help explain clearly the complexity of ideas for they are what we’ve already known and understood. (使用例子和表格。它们可以帮助我们清楚地解释思想的复杂性,因为它们是我们已经知道和理解的。)”可知本段的建议是使用例子和表格来传递复杂信息,根据空后“More importantly, the real secret lies in selecting examples that are not just familiar but also deeply relevant-those are the ones that will truly ring with your listeners. (更重要的是,真正的秘诀在于选择那些不仅熟悉而且非常相关的例子—那些能真正引起听众共鸣的例子。)”可知此处依旧讲的使用例子的好处,空处承上启下,所以空处应该讲的是运用例子和表格来传递复杂信息的好处,C项This makes the complex concepts less new and more familiar.

34、答案:
Team Two scored their fourth goal, and then it was half-time break. I retrieved the ball from the net and handed it to the referee, feeling utterly helpless. Overwhelmed with despair, I dropped to my knees, tears of a broken-hearted child rolling down my cheeks. It was in that moment that my father made his way onto the field. When he picked me up and held me tightly, the whole world seemed to disappear for a moment. He said in a gentle but firm voice, “Sweetie, it doesn’t matter how many times they scored on you. I’m proud of you. I want you to go back out there and finish the game. Go on now!” (103 words)
In that moment, what my father said meant the world to me. When I felt all alone and defeated, knowing that my dad stood by my side, loving and supporting me unconditionally, made all the difference in the world—I could tell it did. Without hesitation, I wiped away my tears and ran back onto the field, ready to face whatever challenges lay ahead. And yes, they did score two more times, but this time, it was different. With my dad’s words echoing in my heart, I knew that I could keep going, no matter what. (84 words)
解析:1.段落续写:

②由第二段首句内容“在那一刻,父亲的话对我来说意义重大。”可知,第二段可描写作者在听到父亲的鼓舞和激励后,改变态度,积极迎战,同时可以描写作者的感悟。
2续写线索:对方进球作者感觉无助和绝望—父亲前来安慰和鼓励—作者转变态度积极迎战—即使对方赢球,但作者依旧积极坦然面对—最终感悟
