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: My Australian friend came yesterday.
M: Great. What’s her name

M: Tina, have you heard that the new academic president George will be appointed this week
W: Oh yeah, our campus radio announced that he’s starting a new programme at our university. We will get a chance to join local opera companies on their productions.
M: I wonder how he got the idea.
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!

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.

24.C 代词指代题。根据后文“After his open heart surgery, he was about to enter a different and difficult journey on the road to physical and emotional recovery.”可知,it代指后文提到的他会经历的一段艰难的康复期。故选C项。
25.B 细节理解题。根据第二段“I remember thinking how much I wished there was a book in the package that would offer guidance for how to be a dad following surgery. There wasn’t, but it was out of that thought that this book was born.”可知,Ryan写这本书是为了为术后父母提供支持。故选B项。
26.D 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Through her diary, readers hear about Hannah’s feelings and frustrations as she copes with the anger, fear and confusion of the impact of her father’s surgery. What are they keeping from me And why She repeatedly hears the catchall cliché (陈词滥调) ‘Everything is going to be fine.’…Meanwhile, there’s the matter of school and Hannah’s place within what for some is a terrifying social universe—she has few friends.”可知,汉娜在应对父亲手术带来的愤怒、恐惧和困惑时遇到了挫折,而且在学校时她几乎没有朋友,所以她受了很多苦。故选D项。

C
【文章大意】 本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了通过野外放生的方式,北美洲濒危野生动物墨西哥狼种群数量呈现增长趋势。
28.C 细节理解题。根据第一段“In the 1970s, the US government began a programme of raising Mexican wolves and releasing(放出) them back into nature. The programme hoped to make the wolves spread back across the area they had once lived in for they are an important part of the balance of nature in the area.”可知,该项目的目的是确保墨西哥狼的数量恢复。故选C项。
29.A 推理判断题。根据第二段“The result of the latest count of Mexican wolves was reported by the US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS). A total of 42 wolf packs were found in the wild, and half of them had baby wolves last spring. Around 90 baby wolves were born in all, and 58% of them survived. The count reported a total of 163 wolves, which is nearly 25% more than last year. Over the last 10 years, the number of wolves has been increasing by about 15% a year.”可知,USFWS报告的数据显示了狼的数量增加。由此推知,这个项目取得了巨大的成功。故选A项。
30.D 推理判断题。根据第三段“One change wildlife managers have made recently is placing little wolves into groups of wild wolves. The wolves that are returned to nature when they are young seem to be far more adaptable than wolves that go into the wild for the first time as adults. Besides, new wolves from outside the packs also improve the overall long-term health of the wolves as a group.”可推知,将人类饲养的幼狼和野生狼混合在一起对它们都有好处。故选D项。
31.B 细节理解题。根据第四段“However, not everyone is excited about the news. For farmers, who must protect their cattle from wolves, the increase is likely to mean more lost animals on their farms. Last year, 184 farm animals were killed in all. That’s the largest number since 1998.”可知,本段提到由于狼的增加,农民遭受了损失这个问题。故选B项。
D
【文章大意】 本文是一篇议论文,主要论述了每个人都有口音,从这个意义上说,指出某人“有口音”是毫无意义的。语言差异可以帮助人们洞察他人的文化经历和背景,因此我们要欣赏口音和方言的价值。
32.D 细节理解题。根据第一段“When I mentioned to some friends that we all have accents, most of them proudly replied, ‘Well, I speak perfect English/Chinese/etc.’ But this kind of misses the point.”可知,作者认为他/她的朋友忽略了口音的真正含义。故选D项。
33.A 推理判断题。根据第三段“The sentence is well-formed and clearly communicative, according to native Singapore English speakers’ solid system of grammar. Why should it be wrong just because it’s different ”可知,作者认为不能因为它不同就认为它是错的。作者使用新加坡口语的例子是在为使用方言进行辩护。故选A项。
34.C 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Language differences like these provide insights into people’s cultural experiences and backgrounds. In a global age, the way one speaks is a distinct part of one’s identity. Most people would be happy to talk about the cultures behind their speech. We’d learn more about the world we live in and make friends along the way.”可知,作者在最后一段中建议我们欣赏口音和方言的价值。故选C项。
35.A 主旨大意题。根据第二段“In this sense, it’s pointless to point out that someone ‘has an accent’. We all do!”以及第三段“Every person speaks a dialect (方言), too.”可知,作者认为每个人都有口音,而且作者在最后一段指出不同的口音可以让我们更多地了解我们生活的世界,并在这一过程中结交朋友。故A项“Everyone has an accent (每个人都有口音)”最能概括本文主旨。故选A项。
第二节
【文章大意】 本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了三种缓解焦虑的方法。
36.C 根据前文“If you’re scared or feel unsafe, anxiety causes you to be careful.”以及后文中“Here are three things that can help.”可知,此处强调焦虑会带来消极结果,因此设空处应该强调学会处理焦虑。C项“It’s best to learn how to deal with it.”(最好是学会如何处理它。)承接前文,此处的it指代前文的anxiety。故选C。
37.G 根据本段主旨句“Start with a ‘growth’ mindset(思维模式).”以及设空处前面的内容“They think, ‘I’m too anxious to speak in class. So I don’t raise my hand.’ They don’t think things can change.”可知,此处强调“成长”心态的重要性。后文应该承接的是要保持“成长”心态,即可以教大脑新的反应方式,通过不断地练习和努力,这种焦虑是可以改变的。G项“But brain science shows that you can teach your brain new ways to respond.”(但脑科学表明,你可以教会大脑新的反应方式。)承接前文,与前文构成转折关系,即教会大脑新的反应方式来应对焦虑。故选G。
38.E 根据前文“Slow breaths can slow the release of stress hormones.”可知,此处强调缓慢呼吸带来的益处。E项“They can help your body and mind feel more at ease.”(它们可以帮助你的身体和心灵感到更放松。)与前文相呼应,指出缓慢的呼吸能够帮助你的身体和心灵感到更放松,符合语境。故选E。
39.B 根据后文的“Don’t wait for anxiety to go away. You might think that you’ll put off speaking in class or talking to that new person until you no longer feel anxious about it. But it doesn’t work that way. It’s facing the anxiety that helps you lower it.”可知,本段强调的是面对焦虑不要逃避,面对焦虑才能帮助你减轻焦虑。B项“Face the situation.”(面对现实。)概括本段主旨,符合语境。故选B。
40.F 根据前文“Being willing to face situations that cause anxiety really helps. Start with one small step.”可知,此处强调从一小步开始去解决焦虑。F项“The more you practise, the better you’ll get at lowering anxiety.”(你练习得越多,你就越能减轻焦虑。)承接前文,符合语境。故选F。

Feeling the money in my sweaty hand, I made a big decision and stepped into the grocery store. Having finished shopping, I made my way home, excited and proud of my choice.
With great excitement and tears, I knocked on the door of our house. I could hardly wait to see my mother’s face! No sooner had I opened the door than some of the Christmas goodies fell inside onto the floor. She just stood there, dumbfounded. Holding back the tears, I said, “Merry Christmas!” Next moment, I was welcomed by the most passionate hug and kisses from my beloved mum.单元素养测评卷(五)

Known as Viennese Dream Christmas Market, Wiener Christkindlmarkt, or Rathausplatz, is one of the Austrian capital’s oldest and most traditional attractions.

B [2024·浙江杭州四中高二期末]
“I was in the ICU. I’d been told I’d be released the next day. The worst, it seemed, was behind me.” Jake Ryan didn’t know it at the time, but the worst was not totally behind him. After his open heart surgery, he was about to enter a different and difficult journey on the road to physical and emotional recovery.
Upon discharge(出院), the hospital gave Jake a “care package.” “I miss my 3-year-old twins. I remember thinking how much I wished there was a book in the package that would offer guidance for how to be a dad following surgery. There wasn’t, but it was out of that thought that this book was born.”
Dear Diary Franklin is a novel written in the voice of 11-year-old Hannah Brody, whose father had suddenly collapsed on a gym floor and was in need of serious medical attention. The book is written in diary format, which gets readers deep inside the head and heart of its young heroine.
Through her diary, readers hear about Hannah’s feelings and frustrations as she copes with the anger, fear and confusion of the impact of her father’s surgery. What are they keeping from me And why She repeatedly hears the catchall cliché (陈词滥调) “Everything is going to be fine.” so many times that she can only think anything but that. Her own translation: “Normal was over.” While her dad does his best to keep things as normal as possible, his recovery, as you’d imagine, is slow and his routine changes.

Long ago, Mexican wolves were common all through the Southwestern US and Northern Mexico. But as more human activities appeared in the areas, the wolves were hunted until they almost died out. The Mexican wolf is the rarest kind of grey wolf in North America. In the 1970s, the US government began a programme of raising Mexican wolves and releasing(放出) them back into nature. The programme hoped to make the wolves spread back across the area they had once lived in for they are an important part of the balance of nature in the area.
The result of the latest count of Mexican wolves was reported by the US Fish and Wildlife Service(USFWS). A total of 42 wolf packs were found in the wild, and half of them had baby wolves last spring. Around 90 baby wolves were born in all, and 58% of them survived. The count reported a total of 163 wolves, which is nearly 25% more than last year. Over the last 10 years, the number of wolves has been increasing by about 15% a year.
One change wildlife managers have made recently is placing little wolves into groups of wild wolves. The wolves that are returned to nature when they are young seem to be far more adaptable than wolves that go into the wild for the first time as adults. Besides, new wolves from outside the packs also improve the overall long-term health of the wolves as a group.
However, not everyone is excited about the news. For farmers, who must protect their cattle from wolves, the increase is likely to mean more lost animals on their farms. Last year, 184 farm animals were killed in all. That’s the largest number since 1998.
Now, the USFWS and others are studying the increase in cattle killings, and trying to figure out solutions to protecting both Mexican wolves and farm animals. Bryan Bird, speaking for a group called Defenders of Wildlife, says, “Ensuring that wolves and people can get along is a necessary part of long-term success.”
( )28.What is the aim of the US programme
A.To call on people to fight against hunting.
B.To reduce the natural areas for human activities.
C.To make sure the Mexican wolf population recovers.
D.To improve the living conditions of Mexican wolves.
( )29.What do the numbers reported by the USFWS show
A.The US programme has achieved great success.
B.The baby wolves have faced some difficulties.
C.The number of wolves has been out of control.
D.The Mexican wolves have trouble fitting into the wild.
( )30.What can be learned from Paragraph 3
A.Most young wolves are healthier than adult wolves.
B.Wildlife managers should take measures to manage wolves.
C.Releasing wolves in the wild causes some environmental problems.
D.Mixing human-raised baby wolves with wild wolves benefits them all.
( )31.What problem is mentioned in Paragraph 4
A.Wild Mexican wolves are short of food.
B.Farmers suffer losses due to increasing wolves.
C.Farmers fail to know how to drive away wild wolves.
D.Wild Mexican wolves are still in danger of dying out.

When I mentioned to some friends that we all have accents, most of them proudly replied, “Well, I speak perfect English/Chinese/etc.” But this kind of misses the point.
More often than not, what we mean when we say someone “has an accent” is that their accent is different from the local one, or that pronunciations are different from our own. But this definition of accents is limiting and could give rise to prejudice. Funnily enough, in terms of the language study, every person speaks with an accent. It is the regular differences in how we produce sounds that define our accents. Even if you don’t hear it yourself, you speak with some sort of accent. In this sense, it’s pointless to point out that someone “has an accent”. We all do!
Every person speaks a dialect (方言), too. In the field of language study, a dialect is a version of a language that is characterized by its variations of structure, phrases and words. For instance, “You got eat or not ” (meaning “Have you eaten ”) is an acceptable and understood question in Singapore Oral English. The fact that this expression would cause a standard American English speaker to take pause doesn’t mean that Singapore Oral English is “wrong” or “ungrammatical”. The sentence is well-formed and clearly communicative, according to native Singapore English speakers’ solid system of grammar. Why should it be wrong just because it’s different
We need to move beyond a narrow conception of accents and dialects—for the benefit of everyone.
Language differences like these provide insights into people’s cultural experiences and backgrounds. In a global age, the way one speaks is a distinct part of one’s identity. Most people would be happy to talk about the cultures behind their speech. We’d learn more about the world we live in and make friends along the way.
( )32.What does the author think of his/her friends’ response in Paragraph 1
A.It reflects their self confidence.
B.It reflects their language levels.
C.It misses the point of communication.
D.It misses the real meaning of accents.
( )33.Why does the author use the example of Singapore Oral English
A.To justify the use of dialects.
B.To show the diversity of dialects.
C.To correct a grammatical mistake.
D.To highlight a traditional approach.
( )34.What does the author recommend us to do in the last paragraph
A.Learn to speak with your local dialect.
B.Seek for an official definition of accents.
C.Appreciate the value of accents and dialects.
D.Distinguish our local languages from others’.
( )35.What can be a suitable title for this passage
A.Everyone has an accent
B.Accents enhance our identities
C.Dialects lead to misunderstanding
D.Standard English is at risk

Three ways to tackle anxiety
Everyone feels anxious at times. Anxiety can surface when you face a challenge or have something to worry about. It turns on your body’s stress response. This instant rise of stress hormones (激素) is a survival response. It prepares you to react quickly and protect yourself. If you’re scared or feel unsafe, anxiety causes you to be careful. 36. Here are three things that can help.
Start with a “growth” mindset(思维模式). Some people have a fixed mindset. They think, “I’m too anxious to speak in class. So I don’t raise my hand.” They don’t think things can change. 37. People with a growth mindset know this. They know they can get better with effort and practice.
Breathe. When you feel anxious, take a few slow breaths. Slow breaths can slow the release of stress hormones. 38. As you guide your attention to your breath, you can pay less attention to anxious thoughts and feelings. Breathing like this can help you feel steady and less anxious.
39. Don’t wait for anxiety to go away. You might think that you’ll put off speaking in class or talking to that new person until you no longer feel anxious about it. But it doesn’t work that way. It’s facing the anxiety that helps you lower it.
Learning to tackle anxiety takes time, patience, and practice. Being willing to face situations that cause anxiety really helps. Start with one small step. 40.
A.Talk to others.
B.Face the situation.
C.It’s best to learn how to deal with it.
D.They can be uncomfortable but they aren’t harmful.
E.They can help your body and mind feel more at ease.
F.The more you practise, the better you’ll get at lowering anxiety.
G.But brain science shows that you can teach your brain new ways to respond.

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。
It was in the 1930s, and things were tough. Mum had a hard time raising us on her own in our small community of New Westminster, BC.My dad had drowned in Pitt Lake, five years ago.
Looking back, I realize what Mum went through sending us kids to school. Every morning she would put a new piece of cardboard in our shoes, because the bottom parts were worn out. When we got home, Mum would have “French toast” ready for us. Constant moving was typical for my family in those times. Rent was 25 dollars a month, but Mum couldn’t pay it, and we knew we would be evicted right after Christmas on the first of January.
Christmas was approaching, and we were entitled to a twenty-five-dollar Christmas fund from social services. The inspector came to our house, and searched it from top to bottom to be sure we didn’t have any food hidden away. When he didn’t find any, he issued the cheque to Mum.
Mum said that instead of buying food, she would use the 25 dollars to pay back rent, assuring all of us a roof over our heads for a little while longer. She told us then there would be nothing for Christmas.
Unknown to Mum, I had been selling Christmas tree, cleaning snow, and doing part-time jobs to earn enough money to buy a new pair of boots. Boots that weren’t patched, boots with no cardboard in the soles. I knew exactly which boots I wanted. They were ten-inch Top Genuine Pierre Paris and they had a price of 23 dollars.
Well, the big day came on the afternoon of Christmas Eve. I was excited, as I hurried up the road to the shoe store, but on the way I noticed a house with Christmas lights and decorations. It was then I realized at our house, we had no lights, no decorations, nor any money for Christmas meals. I knew that we would have no turkey or ham for Christmas, and I felt sad.

Paragraph 1:
As I continued walking, I began to reconsider my plan.
Paragraph 2:
With great excitement and tears, I knocked on the door of our house.
