W: Hey, Jack. I think our life today is too fast. Do you think so

M: Maybe you need a rest. How about travelling to Netherlands with me
W: Good idea!
M: All right. Shall we fly there this Sunday

M: Thanks. By the way, did your system show that I’m a gold member
W: Oh, I’m sorry that I overlooked that. In that case, you will be number one in the queue now.
M: Good that I asked. And when will you check in
W: In about forty minutes. And you don’t have any checked bags, do you
M: No, I don’t. Just carry-ons.

M: Hello everybody. My name is David Anderson. I’m glad to be invited by the International Student Centre to give you a talk on how to protect yourselves and avoid losses, both on and off campus. First, if you, especially the girls, are in a café or restaurant, make sure that your bag is where you can keep an eye on it. If you want to leave for a while, don’t ask a stranger to take care of it. Just take it with you. Second, if you have to walk home alone late at night, stick to well-lighted areas. If you really think someone is going to hurt you, go to the nearest house and ask for help. If a car stops and asks for information, just keep well clear of the door. Third, if you drive, park in a public car park, or at least in a well-lighted area if it’s at night. Avoid the quiet dark roads, and don’t leave your passport, laptop, or cash in the car. At last, I just want to say that in this country, it is not allowed to carry a knife, or anything that can be used as a weapon, even if it’s for self-defense. Actually, this isn’t a dangerous town if you’re careful enough.

第一节
A
【文章大意】 本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了美国最好的四个国家公园,分别是美国大雾山国家公园、黄石国家公园、锡安国家公园以及落基山国家公园。
21.C 细节理解题。根据Great Smoky Mountains National Park, North Carolina and Tennessee部分“It’s worth visiting year-round for scenic views and outdoor activities like hiking, but the park really shines in autumn, when its trees put on a display of red, orange and gold leaves.”可知,去美国大雾山国家公园欣赏树叶最好的季节是秋天。故选C项。
22.B 细节理解题。根据 Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming, Montana and Idaho部分“The world’s first national park, Yellowstone National Park was established in 1872, and in 2020, it recorded 3.8 million visits.”可知,世界上第一个国家公园是美国的黄石国家公园。故选B项。
23.A 细节理解题。根据Zion National Park, Utah部分“Utah is home to some of the country’s best national parks, including Arches, Bryce Canyon and Canyonlands, but Utah’s first and most popular national park is Zion National Park.”可知,峡谷地国家公园位于美国犹他州。故选A项。
B
【文章大意】 本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要介绍了Candace Leslie Cima是一位75岁的网红,她通过社交媒体来改变她这一代人和后代对衰老的态度。
24.C 词义猜测题。根据画线词上文“Candace’s video, sharing a comment on her style that says ‘You’re 60. You shouldn’t wear that.’, got 7.4 million views on social media. She is answering comments about her sleeveless shirt style choices with ‘I am 75, actually.’”以及画线词后文“…attached to being aging.”可知,网友给她的评论说她年纪大了,不该那么穿,她大方地说自己75岁了,说明她认为变老不是什么丢脸的事。故画线词意思是“羞耻,耻辱”,与shame意思一致,故选C。
25.A 细节理解题。根据第三段内容和第四段“She makes a point, saying that it is we who decide whether it is a bad thing and whether we are ashamed of our natural aging process and let others make us feel less than we are.”可知,她利用这个机会来推广积极的老龄化。故选A。
26.C 推理判断题。根据第三段中“Candace explains that she wears a lot of sleeveless tops, and there is always someone who writes to her that women over 60 should not bare their arms. She has a whole article on her blog devoted to this sleeveless shirt style element, which is called ‘Women’s right to bare arms’.”以及第四段“She makes a point, saying that it is we who decide whether it is a bad thing and whether we are ashamed of our natural aging process and let others make us feel less than we are.”可知,她自信地回答网友的评论,勇敢地提出自己的观点,说明了她的自信和勇敢。故选C。
27.B 推理判断题。根据最后一段“For her, age is not just a number. It’s a badge of honour to wear proudly. ‘The only way to change that view is that we, as older women, show them that aging is a gift, something to be embraced, valued and shared,’ she writes.”可知,她想表达衰老是一个值得庆祝的自然过程。故选B。
C
【文章大意】 本文是一篇说明文。科学家们在梅克伦堡湾发现了一个石器时代遗留的石墙,这很可能是石器时代的狩猎采集者用来牧放和捕猎驯鹿的。这一发现可能会改变人们对史前人类的看法。
28.B 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Geersen was used to seeing rocks and stones show up on the echo sounder, but he could already tell that what he was seeing was different.”可知,他发现这个石墙是不同的。故选B。
29.D 推理判断题。根据第三段中“Geersen didn’t know how such a structure could have formed naturally. ‘It was only when we went to the archaeologists that they said, “You may have found something very significant.”’ Archaeologists on the project agreed that the wall was likely used by hunter-gatherers 10,000 to 11,000 years ago during the Stone Age to help them herd and hunt reindeer by the hundreds.”可知,他们去找考古学家们后,才知道自己可能发现了一些非常重要的东西。由此可知去找考古学家帮忙是确认石墙价值的关键步骤。故选D。
30.C 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“People living during the Stone Age were more complex than we tend to believe. ‘We always think of them on the edge of starvation, trying to make a living out of the landscape. And that’s just not true,’ she says. ‘Instead, people in Europe were building things before these more classical structures that we think of.’”可知,生活在石器时代的人比人们所认为的要复杂,人们总认为他们处于饥饿的边缘并试图依赖于自然谋生,但事实并非如此。由此可知人们以前通常持有的观点可能是错误的。故选C。
31.A 主旨大意题。根据文章大意以及第二段“One night, in the Bay of Mecklenburg, the students fired up the echo sounders (回声测深仪) and mapped the seafloor…but he could already tell that what he was seeing was different.”可知,文章围绕石墙的发现、辨别和分析研究的过程展开,故A选项“科学家发现古老的石器时代的石墙”作为标题较为合理。故选A。
D
【文章大意】 本文是一篇议论文。文章主要探讨了变化与稳定性的关系,并强调了适应变化和在变化中找到稳定性的重要性。
32.C 推理判断题。根据文章第三段“A concept called allostasis can help…allostasis is defined as ‘stability through change’, elegantly showing the concept’s double meaning: the way to stay stable through the process of change is by changing, at least to some extent.”可知,allostasis指的是通过变化保持稳定,即动态的稳定。故选C。
33.B 词义猜测题。根据画线词组所在句“The river of change has been flowing mercilessly…”可知,变化一直都在发生,由此可知,画线词组的意思和“停止,缓慢下来”相似,与B选项意思一致。故选B。
34.D 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Put these qualities together and the result is great endurance, one that helps you maintain your strong core even in fragile moments. It allows you to step into allostasis’ cycle of order, disorder and reorder—which is, of course, one and the same with stepping into Heraclitus’ river—and to chart it skilfully whenever possible, to your own benefit.”可知,通过实践allostasis,我们可以获得强大的毅力。故选D。
35.B 主旨大意题。根据文章第二段“Many people have tense relationships with change. They deny it, resist it or attempt to control it—the result of which is almost always some combination of stress, anxiety and burnout. It doesn’t have to be that way.”及全文内容可知,文章主要探讨了适应变化和在变化中找到稳定性的重要性,并强调了通过拥抱变化并从中找到稳定性,我们可以获得出色的耐力并熟练地规划自己的道路。因此,最佳标题是选项B(停止抗拒变化)。故选B。
第二节

第一节
One possible version:
Dear Peter,
I’m writing to share with you my experience of learning zongzi-making on this Dragon Boat Festival.
The process was a delightful blend of tradition and family bonding, with my grandma guiding me through each step. From selecting the fragrant glutinous rice and rich fillings to skilfully wrapping them in bamboo leaves, securing each corner with a neat string, I found joy in mastering this ancient art.
This experience not only enriched my understanding of Chinese cultural heritage but also deepened my appreciation of the time-honoured customs passed down through generations. In conclusion, it was an unforgettable day that merged cultural exploration with heartfelt moments. I truly wish you could have been here to share this authentic experience with us.
Yours,
Li Hua

One possible version:
Finally, the day of my competition arrived. Standing on the stage and feeling all the eyes focused on me, I felt my heart beat violently. When I began my speech with a slightly trembling but loud voice, the audience went silent and everyone was listening carefully to my speech, which gave me great encouragement. Gradually, I immersed myself in the speech entirely without any fear or worry. My pronunciation was beautiful and perfect, and my words were crisp and clear. As the audience broke into thunderous applause, I learned that I ended up with a wonderful speech.
When the contest was over, the judges declared me the champion. Hearing that, I was too excited to speak, bursting into tears. I ran to Mrs Lee and hugged her tightly, saying to her, “Thanks so much! Without your help, I couldn’t have made it!” Mrs Lee patted me gently and praised me in the sweetest voice, “You did a wonderful job! You got over all the difficulties! I was proud of you!” Many years later, I became a teacher, hoping that I could help my students to achieve their goals with my wisdom and words like what Mrs Lee had done for me.模块素养测评卷

B [2024·广东清远高二期末]
Candace Leslie Cima is a 75-year-old fashion and lifestyle influencer working to change the attitudes regarding aging for both her generation and the ones following hers.
Candace’s video, sharing a comment on her style that says “You’re 60. You shouldn’t wear that.”, got 7.4 million views on social media. She is answering comments about her sleeveless shirt style choices with “I am 75, actually.” In her mind, there is no stigma attached to being aging.
“I remember being on the checkout line at a supermarket and looking at the headlines on those magazines. They would always have headlines like ‘How to look your best at 20, 30, and 40’. Never did they mention 50, 60, and 70,” she recalls in a video. In addition to her videos, Candace also has a blog where she speaks at length about aging and fashion. Candace explains that she wears a lot of sleeveless tops, and there is always someone who writes to her that women over 60 should not bare their arms. She has a whole article on her blog devoted to this sleeveless shirt style element, which is called “Women’s right to bare arms”.
“So…you have some loose skin on your arms or some veins on your legs or age spots on your hands…Why is that a bad thing ” She makes a point, saying that it is we who decide whether it is a bad thing and whether we are ashamed of our natural aging process and let others make us feel less than we are.
After all, everyone ages, so we all as a society should normalize these changes and learn to see them positively.
For her, age is not just a number. It’s a badge of honour to wear proudly. “The only way to change that view is that we, as older women, show them that aging is a gift, something to be embraced, valued and shared,” she writes.

In the fall of 2021, Jacob Geersen, a marine geologist, was teaching a one-week field course at the University of Kiel. Students were requested to map the shape of the seafloor. For some students, it was the best time during their studies. “Usually if we go somewhere and do these measurements,” says Geersen, “then we find something interesting.”
One night, in the Bay of Mecklenburg, the students fired up the echo sounders (回声测深仪) and mapped the seafloor. “We saw that there was something special on the seafloor,” says Geersen. They didn’t know at the time that they’d discovered a stone wall more than half a mile long dating back to the Stone Age. Geersen was used to seeing rocks and stones show up on the echo sounder, but he could already tell that what he was seeing was different.
A year later, Geersen, his colleagues and a new group of students returned to that same site and lowered a camera down, and confirmed this ridge (脊状物) was made up of thousands of rocks that formed a kind of wall standing about 1.5 feet tall on average. Geersen didn’t know how such a structure could have formed naturally. “It was only when we went to the archaeologists that they said, ‘You may have found something very significant.’” Archaeologists on the project agreed that the wall was likely used by hunter-gatherers 10,000 to 11,000 years ago during the Stone Age to help them herd and hunt reindeer by the hundreds.
People living during the Stone Age were more complex than we tend to believe. “We always think of them on the edge of starvation, trying to make a living out of the landscape. And that’s just not true,” she says. “Instead, people in Europe were building things before these more classical structures that we think of.” However, to confirm this wall was made by humans and used to hunt, more archaeological evidence of hunting-related activity is needed.
( )28.How did Geersen view the stone wall
A.He felt it was very delicate.
B.He could find it was different.
C.He was used to touching such things.
D.He recognized it as the oldest wall.
( )29.What is the key step to confirm the value of the wall
A.Returning and re-researching.
B.Lowering a camera down.
C.Considering natural reasons.
D.Asking archaeologists for help.
( )30.What could the discovery of the stone wall mean
A.People from the Stone Age struggled to make a living.
B.People from the Stone Age depended on nature deeply.
C.Previously commonly held views might be wrong.
D.Evidence of hunting-related activity was discovered.
( )31.Which of the following is the best title for the text
A.Scientists discover an ancient Stone Age stone wall
B.An archaeological discovery has shocked the world
C.Human beings 10,000 years ago could already hunt
D.Stone Age life was more abundant than we thought

The Greek philosopher Heraclitus taught that you can’t step into the same river twice, for you aren’t the same person at each visit, and the water is ever flowing. It is a powerful way to represent the reality of impermanence: everything is always changing.
Many people have tense relationships with change. They deny it, resist it or attempt to control it—the result of which is almost always some combination of stress, anxiety and burnout. It doesn’t have to be that way.
A concept called allostasis can help. Developed in the late 1980s by a neuroscientist, Peter Sterling, and a biologist, Joseph Eyer, allostasis is defined as “stability through change”, elegantly showing the concept’s double meaning: the way to stay stable through the process of change is by changing, at least to some extent.
The river of change has been flowing mercilessly, and it shows no signs of letting up. Societally, we’ve gone through a pandemic (大流行病), its economic decline and the widespread adoption of social media, the combination of which has shifted how we live and work. In our personal lives, we continue to do what we have always done: relocate, start jobs, quit jobs, change jobs, get promoted, experience illness, get married, have children, retire and on and on.
Finding ways in this river requires both ruggedness and flexibility. To be rugged is to be tough and determined, to know your core values and what you stand for. To be flexible is to actively respond to changing circumstances, to adapt and bend easily without breaking, to grow and even change your mind. Put these qualities together and the result is great endurance, one that helps you maintain your strong core even in fragile moments. It allows you to step into allostasis’ cycle of order, disorder and reorder—which is, of course, one and the same with stepping into Heraclitus’ river—and to chart it skilfully whenever possible, to your own benefit.
( )32.What do we know about allostasis
A.It is a contradictory concept.
B.It tends to focus on change.
C.It advocates dynamic stability.
D.It claims absolute adaptability.
( )33.Which of the following best explains “letting up” underlined in Paragraph 4
A.Being pumped. B.Slowing down.
C.Getting polluted. D.Rising up.
( )34.What will you gain from practising allostasis according to the last paragraph
A.Popularity. B.Confidence.
C.Recognition. D.Perseverance.
( )35.What is the best title for the passage
A.Say no to stability B.Stop resisting change
C.Fight for flexibility D.Balance life and work

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 the beginning of a new year, and I was in the best class, where most of the chatterboxes were. Sadly, I was not one of them. Most of the time, my mouth was zipped very tightly and I hardly had any friends who appreciated my silence.
There was a speech competition three months later. The selection was left to our strict English teacher, Mrs Lee, whom I feared the most because she hardly ever smiled at us. Strangely though, on the day her decision was to be announced to us, she proclaimed,“Jane shall be the one who will join the competition.”
There was silence in our usually-noisy class. “You have to write a speech today and show it to me tomorrow, Jane,” Mrs Lee instructed, thereby breaking the ice.
The next day, I showed my speech to Mrs Lee. Reading it, she nodded in satisfaction and grinned at me for the first time. In the sweetest voice, she praised me, “Wonderful work! Why don’t you read it to the class ” Instantly, my throat went dry. Butterflies fluttered around in my stomach, crashing against my stomach walls and making me feel sick.
Swallowing hard and taking a deep breath, I began reciting my essay with the worst pronunciation anyone had ever heard. However, I stumbled a little and panicked, unable to go on. The entire class burst into laughter as they shouted discouraging words, saying that they should have been in my place instead. Hot tears stung my eyes as I rushed back to my seat, weeping silently in embarrassment.
After school, Mrs Lee called me to her office, where she gave me a few pointers on how to overcome stage fright. Patiently, she went through the speech with me several times until my utterly bad pronunciation was “cured”. It was with much patience that Mrs Lee worked through those three months with me, ensuring that my words were crisp and clear and teaching me how to put expressions into my sentences.
注意:续写词数应为150个左右。
Paragraph 1:
Finally, the day of my competition arrived.
Paragraph 2:
When the contest was over, the judges declared me the champion.
