【原文】Many people would agree that the London Underground map is extremely well-designed. It is not only simple and easy to understand but also quite attractive. And most importantly, it performs its primary task of guiding both Londoners and tourists round the underground system in the city very well. The man behind this great achievement was called Henry Beck. He was an employee of the London underground drawing office, and first came up with his design for the map in 1931. The map which had been in use before 1931 was messy and unclear. Beck decided that a traditional map which gave accurate information about distance was not necessary for the underground, and instead produced a diagram which showed only the stations on the underground system. This new map was an enormous success with the public. When in 1933, it made its first appearance on the underground platforms and at the station entrances. The design of the map showed great originality because it provided a very clear representation of a highly complex network of communication. Beck’s approach was later adopted by most of the world underground system.
Questions:
11. What is the passage mainly about
12. Which element of the old map didn’t appear on Henry Beck’s map

The historic city of Suzhou, about an hour’s drive from Shanghai, is crisscrossed with canals. Old whitewashed buildings line the banks. A century ago, some of these would have been chaguans, or traditional tea-houses, where locals 31 to discuss the news or conduct business. Today a visitor is more likely to find shops serving a different kind of beverage. There are dozens of Starbucks outlets in Suzhou, as well as other coffee sellers.
Between 2010 and 2023 coffee consumption per person in China 32 fourfold, according to the International Coffee Organization. The average Chinese person still drinks a fraction of the amount of coffee guzzled by the 33 American: 0.1kg per year compared with 4.7kg. But last year China 34 America, becoming the country with the most branded coffee shops (places like Starbucks) in the world, as the World Coffee Portal, a research firm, reported. China is home to nearly 50,000 such outlets.
The early history of coffee in China is fuzzy. By some 35 it was Danes who opened the first coffee shop in the country in the 1830s. A record from that period described coffee as a “black liquor, which the foreign devils drank after meals, saying it can help with 36 ”. A century later Lu Xun, a celebrated author, wrote that he didn’t drink the stuff: I always thought it was for the foreign excellencies.
But after China introduced market reforms and opened up to the world in the 1980s, foreign firms such as Maxwell House brought instant coffee to the country. They 37 to local tastes, making their mixes sweeter and less bitter than what they sold elsewhere. Western-style coffee shops arrive years later — chief among them Starbucks in 1999. The company’s freshly-brewed coffee was new to China. Having a laptop in one hand and a (relatively expensive) cup of Starbucks in the other became a way for young middle-class people to indicate their 38 .
The biggest coffee-drinking demographic is still “white-collar workers in first-tier cities aged between 20 and 40”, according to Deloitte, a consulting firm. China’s experience 39 that of Japan some 50 years ago, when rising incomes led to more coffee consumption.
Today, though, a wider range of the population is partaking thanks to the rise of 40 coffee chains selling affordable brews. The leader is Luckin Coffee, with over 20,000 outlets. Starbucks, by comparison, has 7,300 shops. A cup of basic Luckin coffee is about a third of the price of an equivalent Starbucks offering.

A
Steve Spark s was a young successful lawyer working for a famous law office when his 3-year-old daughter’s serious leg problem changed his focus and the direction of his life. The problem led to many visits to doctors and an uncertain future. In a moment his life’s changed from where he was going to take his clients (客户)to lunch to whether his daughter Katie was ever going to see her fourth birthday.
For three years Katie received many treatments (治疗) in the hospital. And with the help of wonderful doctors and kind care-givers in Nemours Foundation, who Steve and his wife Michelle describe as heroes, Katie’s illness was cured (治愈).
Forever changed by the experience and inspired (鼓舞) by the heroes who saved his daughter’s life, Steve felt he couldn’t go back to business as usual. He felt there was something else he was meant to do. He joined the Nemours Foundation as their lawyer. The job change came with a 65% pay cut from what he was making, but Steve’s purpose had found him and it was more important than a paycheck.

In 3 weeks Steve will celebrate Katie’s 21st birthday, and give a big thank-you to Nemours by riding his bicycle from Nemours’ headquarters in Jacksonville, Florida to Wilmington, Delaware. He will ride more than 900 miles in 9 days and raise $100,000 for the Nemours Foundation. His purpose hasn’t just become a part of his work. It has become a part of himself and his family.

【答案】56．C 57．D 58．B 59．A
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了Steve Spark的人生经历，包括他女儿生病、治疗以及他因此做出的职业转变和后续行动。
56．主旨大意题。根据文章倒数第二段“Fast forward 18 years, Katie is now a healthy 20-year-old junior in college and Steve is the Senior Vice-president of the Nemours Foundation where he brings Kati story and his purpose to work every day. (时光飞逝，18 年后，Katie如今已是一名健康的 20 岁大学三年级学生，而Steve则成为了内穆尔基金会的高级副总裁。在那里，他每天都带着Steve的故事和自己的使命投入工作。)”、最后一段“His purpose hasn’t just become a part of his work. It has become a part of himself and his family. (他的目标不仅成为了他工作的一部分，也成为了他自己和家庭的一部分。)”内容可知，本文主要讲述了Steve Spark因女儿Katie的疾病经历，从一名高薪律师转变为拯救女儿的尼莫尔斯基金会成员，18 年来始终怀揣初心投身公益，甚至计划骑行筹款回馈基金会的故事。核心围绕Steve Spark因女儿的经历找到人生目标，并将这份目标融入工作与家庭展开。选项C“A man with a good purpose.( 一个拥有坚定目标的人)” 准确概括了Steve Spark从经历女儿治病事件后找到人生目标，并长期为之行动的核心内容。故选C。
57．词义猜测题。根据划线单词所在句“The job change came with a 65% pay cut from what he was making, but Steve’s purpose had found him and it was more important than a paycheck.(这份新工作的薪水比他之前……65%，但Steve找到了人生的目标，而这个目标远比薪水更重要。)”可推测，此处指Steve换工作后，薪水比之前减少了 65%。“cut”在此处表示“减少、削减”。选项D“Reduction.”意为“减少、降低”，与此相符。故选D。
58．细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Forever changed by the experience and inspired(鼓舞)by the heroes who saved his daughter’s life, Steve felt he couldn’t go back to business as usual. He felt there was something else he was meant to do. He joined the Nemours Foundation as their lawyer.(这段经历彻底改变了Steve，拯救女儿生命的“英雄们”也深深鼓舞了他。他觉得自己无法再像以前那样按部就班地工作，他坚信自己肩负着更重要的使命。于是，他加入了尼莫尔斯基金会，成为该机构的一名律师。)”以及第五段“He will ride more than 900 miles in 9 days and raise $100,000 for the Nemours Foundation. His purpose hasn’t just become a part of his work. It has become a part of himself and his family.(他将在9天内骑行超过900英里（约1448公里），并为尼莫尔斯基金会筹集10万美元善款。对Steve而言，这份初心早已不只是工作的一部分，更融入了他自身与家庭的血脉之中。)”可知，Steve因女儿被救助的经历，放弃原有的高薪律师工作加入基金会，后来还计划骑行筹款助力基金会，其人生目标已转变为帮助他人。故选B。
59．推理判断题。根据文章第三段“The job change came with a 65% pay cut from what he was making, but Steve’s purpose had found him and it was more important than a paycheck.(这份新工作的薪水比他之前少了65%，但Steve找到了人生的目标，而这个目标远比薪水更重要。)”以及全文内容可知，Steve原本是成功的律师，并未主动寻找新目标，而是女儿的疾病经历与基金会的帮助让他被动地找到了人生目标——投身公益、帮助他人，这体现了“有时我们寻找目标，有时目标会找到我们”的道理。故选A。

C
One survey of 485 adults in the U.S. linked travel to enhanced attention, energy, and focus. Other research suggests that the act of adapting to foreign cultures may also facilitate (促进) creativity. But what about the act of planning a trip
Planning a trip can be almost as enjoyable as going on the trip itself. A Cornell University study looked into how looking forward to an experience (like a trip) can increase a person’s happiness considerably — much more so than the anticipation of buying material goods. An earlier study, published by the University of Surrey, found that people are at their happiest when they have a vacation planned.
Amit Kumar, one of the co-authors of the Cornell study, explains that the benefits are less about obsessing (使迷恋) over the finer points of a journey than they are about connecting with other people. “Travelers end up talking to people more about their experiences than they talk about material purchases,” he says. “Compared to possessions, experiences make for better story material.”
Kumar’s co-author Matthew Killingsworth, now a senior fellow at the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania, says trip-planning encourages an optimistic outlook.
“As humans, we spend a lot of our mental lives living in the future,” says Killingsworth, whose work centers on understanding the nature and causes of human happiness. “Our future-mindedness can be a source of joy if we know good things are coming, and travel is an especially good thing to look forward to.”
One reason Killingsworth thinks that planning travel can be such a positive experience is the fact that trips are temporary. “Since we know a trip has a defined start and end, our minds are likely to enjoy it, even before it’s started,” he says. “Sometimes people even prefer to delay good experiences like a trip so they can extend the period of excitement.”
There’s another reason why travel planning can produce happiness: We often know enough about a trip to imagine it and look forward to it — but there’s also enough novelty and uncertainty to keep our minds interested.
“In a sense, we start to ‘consume’ a trip as soon as we start thinking about it,” Killingsworth says. “When we imagine eating gelato, the famous ice cream in Rome or going water skiing with friends we don’t see as much as we’d like, we get to experience a version of those events in our mind.”
Planning for travel — thinking about it, talking about it, imagining it — may in fact be one of the best things you can do to stay optimistic.
63．What does the word “anticipation” in paragraph 2 mean
A．Worry. B．Experience. C．Benefit. D．Expectation.
64．According to Amit Kumar, the more important reason why trip is beneficial is that ______.
A．the finer points of a journey become a good memory
B．travelers can make up better stories based on their trips
C．more chances are given to make contact with local people
D．travel experiences provide more topics for communication
65．According to Matthew Killingsworth, planning a trip can make people happy because ______.
A．they are able to have their exciting trip extended
B．something good is believed to happen in the future
C．the enough knowledge of a trip arouses their interests
D．humans’ happiness comes from their future experience
66．What is the best title for the passage
A．Why planning trips helps mental health B．Why a trip needs to be planned ahead
C．Why travelers should be optimistic D．Why people are keen on traveling
【答案】63．D 64．D 65．B 66．A
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章指出计划旅行几乎和旅行本身一样愉悦，能增加人的幸福感，专家解释计划旅行有益在于能帮助与人建立联系，鼓励乐观的态度，还因让人去了解旅行的同时保持想象、期待和兴趣。
63．词句猜测题。根据画线词的上文“A Cornell University study looked into how looking forward to an experience (like a trip) can increase a person’s happiness considerably — much more so (康奈尔大学的一项研究调查了期待一段经历（比如一次旅行）如何能大大增加一个人的幸福感——而且要多得多)”和下文“buying material goods (购买物质商品)”可推知，此处是把对购买物质商品的期待与对一段经历的期待做比较，指出对一段经历的期待更能增加幸福感，画线词意思是“期待，期望”，与D项Expectation意思接近。故选D项。
64．细节理解题。根据第三段“Amit Kumar, one of the co-authors of the Cornell study, explains that the benefits are less about obsessing (使迷恋) over the finer points of a journey than they are about connecting with other people. “Travelers end up talking to people more about their experiences than they talk about material purchases,” he says. “Compared to possessions, experiences make for better story material.” (康奈尔大学研究报告的合著者之一Amit Kumar解释说，旅行的好处不在于沉迷于旅行的细节，而在于与其他人建立联系。他说：“旅行者最终会更多地谈论自己的经历，而不是物质消费。与拥有相比，经历是更好的故事素材。”)”可知，Amit Kumar认为，旅行经历为交流提供了更多的话题，帮助与他人建立联系，因而让人受益。故选D项。
65．细节理解题。根据第五段““As humans, we spend a lot of our mental lives living in the future,” says Killingsworth, whose work centers on understanding the nature and causes of human happiness. “Our future-mindedness can be a source of joy if we know good things are coming, and travel is an especially good thing to look forward to.” (“作为人类，我们花了大量的精神生活生活在未来，”Killingsworth说，他的工作重点是理解人类幸福的本质和原因。“如果我们知道好事即将到来，我们的未来意识就会成为快乐的源泉，而旅行是一件特别值得期待的好事。”)”可知，Killingsworth认为，计划旅行能让人相信未来会有好事发生，从而让人觉得快乐。故选B项。
66．主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第二段中“Planning a trip can be almost as enjoyable as going on the trip itself. (计划旅行几乎和旅行本身一样令人愉快)”可知，文章主要讨论了计划旅行通过帮助与人建立联系，鼓励乐观的态度，在让人去了解旅行的同时保持想象、期待和兴趣等方式，对心理健康产生积极影响。因此，A项“为什么计划旅行有助于心理健康？”最契合文章主旨，适合作为文章标题。故选A项。

IV. Summary Writing （10分）
71.Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in NO MORE THAN 60 WORDS. Use your own words as far as possible.
It is from your parents that you first learn language. This learning involves much more time than mere accent (重音) and vocabulary. You are taught that often you must concern yourself with other people’s feelings and needs instead of your own. You learn to say “I’m sorry” even in a situation when you clearly are not wrong, or to say, “That was a delicious lunch” when you thought it was just the opposite. You learn that different clothing and behaviour are appropriate at the public swimming pool, at the family dinner table, and at other places.
Parents also teach their children social skills. In learning to get along with other people, for example, you are taught when to say “Please” and “Thank you”. Some children are taught that language can be a pleasure itself, in the form of jokes, poems, and stories. Some children are taught that in our society it usually is more acceptable to use verbal rather than physical means to get what one wants. For example, most people say “Excuse me” instead of simply pushing through a crowd.

V. Translation （15分）
Directions: Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets.
72．我们吃的食物的碳足迹越大，对环境的影响就越大。（impact n.）
【答案】The greater the carbon footprint of the food we eat, the greater the impact on the environment.
【详解】考查比较级结构和时态。句子陈述事实，时态用一般现在时。表示“越……，越……”用固定结构“the+比较级，the+比较级”，“我们吃的食物”译为the food we eat，其中we eat是省略了关系代词that/which 的定语从句，修饰先行词the food；“碳足迹”译为carbon footprint；所以“我们吃的食物的碳足迹越大”翻译为the greater the carbon footprint of the food we eat。“对……的影响”是固定搭配impact on...；表示“环境”译为the environment；“对环境的影响就越大”翻译为the greater the impact on the environment。句首单词首字母大写，故整句翻译为The greater the carbon footprint of the food we eat, the greater the impact on the environment.
73．第一次去南翔古镇我就被它的美丽迷住了。(fascinate)
【答案】The first time I went to Nanxiang ancient town, I was fascinated by its beauty.
【详解】考查状语从句，一般过去时，形容词短语，介词。此处陈述过去的动作，因此需要使用一般过去时态。“第一次……”可使用连词“the first time…….”引导时间状语从句，谓语动词使用一般过去时。“去……”可使用动词“go to …….”，“南翔”使用固定表达“Nanxiang”，“古老的”使用形容词“ancient”，“小镇”使用名词“town”，因此“南翔古镇”可翻译为“Nanxiang ancient town”，从句可翻译为：The first time I went to Nanxiang ancient town。 “被……迷住”可使用形容词短语“be fascinated by”，“它的”可使用形容词性物主代词“its”，“美丽”可使用名词“beauty”，主句可翻译为：I was fascinated by its beauty。故答案为：The first time I went to Nanxiang ancient town, I was fascinated by its beauty.
74．值得一提的是，这位富有想象力的作家在空难中幸存下来。（survive）
【答案】It is worth mentioning that the imaginative writer survived the plane crash.
【详解】考查时态、固定句型、主语从句。表示“值得一提的是……”用固定句型it is worth mentioning that...，其中it是形式主语，真正的主语是that引导的主语从句，be worth doing sth.“值得做某事” 为固定短语。主语从句中：表示“这位富有想象力的作家”用the imaginative writer作主语，表示“幸存”用survive，本句描述过去的动作和状态，故时态用一般过去时，谓语用过去式survived；表示“这次空难” 用the plane crash，作宾语。故翻译为：It is worth mentioning that the imaginative writer survived the plane crash.
75．你越积极参与校园活动，你的高中生活就越丰富多彩。(the more..., the more…)
【答案】The more actively you participate in school activities, the richer and more colorful your high school life will be.
【详解】考查固定结构，名词，动词。“越……越……”对应英语中的“the more..., the more...”结构，“积极参与”使用副词与动词搭配，即“actively participate in”，actively 是副词修饰动词 participate。“校园活动”使用名词搭配“school activities”， “丰富多彩” 使用形容词 richer and more colorful，richer和more colorful为形容词比较级作表语。所以前半句翻译为：“the more actively you participate”，后半句：“the richer and more colorful... will be”， “高中生活”“high school life”，最后将句子合并，并添加主语，完成句子，即：The more actively you participate in school activities, the richer and more colorful your high school life will be。故答案为：The more actively you participate in school activities, the richer and more colorful your high school life will be。

The historic city of Suzhou, about an hour’s drive from Shanghai, is crisscrossed with canals. Old whitewashed buildings line the banks. A century ago, some of these would have been chaguans, or traditional tea-houses, where locals 31 to discuss the news or conduct business. Today a visitor is more likely to find shops serving a different kind of beverage. There are dozens of Starbucks outlets in Suzhou, as well as other coffee sellers.
Between 2010 and 2023 coffee consumption per person in China 32 fourfold, according to the International Coffee Organization. The average Chinese person still drinks a fraction of the amount of coffee guzzled by the 33 American: 0.1kg per year compared with 4.7kg. But last year China 34 America, becoming the country with the most branded coffee shops (places like Starbucks) in the world, as the World Coffee Portal, a research firm, reported. China is home to nearly 50,000 such outlets.
The early history of coffee in China is fuzzy. By some 35 it was Danes who opened the first coffee shop in the country in the 1830s. A record from that period described coffee as a “black liquor, which the foreign devils drank after meals, saying it can help with 36 ”. A century later Lu Xun, a celebrated author, wrote that he didn’t drink the stuff: I always thought it was for the foreign excellencies.
But after China introduced market reforms and opened up to the world in the 1980s, foreign firms such as Maxwell House brought instant coffee to the country. They 37 to local tastes, making their mixes sweeter and less bitter than what they sold elsewhere. Western-style coffee shops arrive years later — chief among them Starbucks in 1999. The company’s freshly-brewed coffee was new to China. Having a laptop in one hand and a (relatively expensive) cup of Starbucks in the other became a way for young middle-class people to indicate their 38 .
The biggest coffee-drinking demographic is still “white-collar workers in first-tier cities aged between 20 and 40”, according to Deloitte, a consulting firm. China’s experience 39 that of Japan some 50 years ago, when rising incomes led to more coffee consumption.
Today, though, a wider range of the population is partaking thanks to the rise of 40 coffee chains selling affordable brews. The leader is Luckin Coffee, with over 20,000 outlets. Starbucks, by comparison, has 7,300 shops. A cup of basic Luckin coffee is about a third of the price of an equivalent Starbucks offering.

C
One survey of 485 adults in the U.S. linked travel to enhanced attention, energy, and focus. Other research suggests that the act of adapting to foreign cultures may also facilitate (促进) creativity. But what about the act of planning a trip
Planning a trip can be almost as enjoyable as going on the trip itself. A Cornell University study looked into how looking forward to an experience (like a trip) can increase a person’s happiness considerably — much more so than the anticipation of buying material goods. An earlier study, published by the University of Surrey, found that people are at their happiest when they have a vacation planned.
Amit Kumar, one of the co-authors of the Cornell study, explains that the benefits are less about obsessing (使迷恋) over the finer points of a journey than they are about connecting with other people. “Travelers end up talking to people more about their experiences than they talk about material purchases,” he says. “Compared to possessions, experiences make for better story material.”
Kumar’s co-author Matthew Killingsworth, now a senior fellow at the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania, says trip-planning encourages an optimistic outlook.
“As humans, we spend a lot of our mental lives living in the future,” says Killingsworth, whose work centers on understanding the nature and causes of human happiness. “Our future-mindedness can be a source of joy if we know good things are coming, and travel is an especially good thing to look forward to.”
One reason Killingsworth thinks that planning travel can be such a positive experience is the fact that trips are temporary. “Since we know a trip has a defined start and end, our minds are likely to enjoy it, even before it’s started,” he says. “Sometimes people even prefer to delay good experiences like a trip so they can extend the period of excitement.”
There’s another reason why travel planning can produce happiness: We often know enough about a trip to imagine it and look forward to it — but there’s also enough novelty and uncertainty to keep our minds interested.
“In a sense, we start to ‘consume’ a trip as soon as we start thinking about it,” Killingsworth says. “When we imagine eating gelato, the famous ice cream in Rome or going water skiing with friends we don’t see as much as we’d like, we get to experience a version of those events in our mind.”
Planning for travel — thinking about it, talking about it, imagining it — may in fact be one of the best things you can do to stay optimistic.
63．What does the word “anticipation” in paragraph 2 mean
A．Worry. B．Experience. C．Benefit. D．Expectation.
64．According to Amit Kumar, the more important reason why trip is beneficial is that ______.
A．the finer points of a journey become a good memory
B．travelers can make up better stories based on their trips
C．more chances are given to make contact with local people
D．travel experiences provide more topics for communication
65．According to Matthew Killingsworth, planning a trip can make people happy because ______.
A．they are able to have their exciting trip extended
B．something good is believed to happen in the future
C．the enough knowledge of a trip arouses their interests
D．humans’ happiness comes from their future experience
66．What is the best title for the passage
A．Why planning trips helps mental health B．Why a trip needs to be planned ahead
C．Why travelers should be optimistic D．Why people are keen on traveling
Section C
Directions: Read the passage carefully. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.
How to Survive High School
It may feel impossible to survive even a day of high school, let alone three years. However, there are a lot of things you can do to make your high school experience one of the best times of your life.
67 During high school, you may feel under pressure to fit in. You need to try your best to fight the negative feelings and learn to have a change. High school actually gives you an opportunity to discover a real YOU and grow as a person, but it's important that any change should come from within.

Try to break out of your comfort zone by starting a conversation with people, especially strangers. 68 Over time, you'll develop a friend group filled with unique individuals that like you for who you are and add a lot of value to your life. But do remember — Stay away from the ones who hold negative attitudes towards everything.
Spare regular time for exercise. 69 However, even if you're not involved in a sport, try to exercise every day. Though you may feel like your study schedule is jam-packed, remember that staying fit will help improve your school performance.
Don't avoid interacting with your teachers. You don't have to be a teacher's pet, though. 70 If possible, spend a few minutes before or after class talking with your teachers about things related to their subject.

IV. Summary Writing （10分）
71.Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in NO MORE THAN 60 WORDS. Use your own words as far as possible.
It is from your parents that you first learn language. This learning involves much more time than mere accent (重音) and vocabulary. You are taught that often you must concern yourself with other people’s feelings and needs instead of your own. You learn to say “I’m sorry” even in a situation when you clearly are not wrong, or to say, “That was a delicious lunch” when you thought it was just the opposite. You learn that different clothing and behaviour are appropriate at the public swimming pool, at the family dinner table, and at other places.
Parents also teach their children social skills. In learning to get along with other people, for example, you are taught when to say “Please” and “Thank you”. Some children are taught that language can be a pleasure itself, in the form of jokes, poems, and stories. Some children are taught that in our society it usually is more acceptable to use verbal rather than physical means to get what one wants. For example, most people say “Excuse me” instead of simply pushing through a crowd.
