The school year began. As president of the recycling club, Scott was thinking about new activities to encourage other students to become more enthusiastic (热心的) about recycling. His club had helped to recycle a lot of waste for the past five years and he hoped that this year they would do even better.
Scott went home one day and looked online, hoping to find ideas for events the club could organize at school. During his research, he learned that the amount (数量) of electronic waste, or e-waste, is increasing rapidly. Scott was upset with himself for not noticing this problem sooner. At that moment, he began to develop a plan.
“There is a special project I want us to work on this term,” Scott announced (宣布) at the recycling club meeting the next day. “We have all heard about e-waste, but recently I learned about the bad effects it’s having on our environment.” He went on to tell the club members that he wanted them to organize an e-waste drive—a day when students and their families could drop off unwanted electronics to be recycled. “Now let’s get to work!”
For several weeks, the recycling club was busy preparing for the upcoming e-waste drive, or e-drive as it was soon called.
The big day finally arrived, and Scott was nervous. He and the other members arrived at school early to make sure that everything would go smoothly. Everyone waited eagerly, hoping that students of the school would take part in the event.
It wasn’t long before the first cars pulled into the school parking lot. After a while, more people arrived. Phones, TV sets, computers and keyboards soon began piling up (堆积) .
At the end of the event, Scott heard someone suggest that the school should have an e-drive event every term. Scott smiled, realizing that a simple action could truly have a lasting influence.
24. What did Scott learn during his research online
A. Students are enthusiastic about recycling. B. There is a lot of waste recycled every year.
C. The amount of e-waste is increasing rapidly. D. There are many recycling clubs in the country.
25. How did Scott feel at first on that big day
A. Proud. B. Upset. C. Excited. D. Nervous.
26. What did Scott realize at the end of the e-drive event
A. Environmental problems could be solved. B. A simple action could bring a long- term effect.
C. Teamwork is valuable for the success of events. D. Family members are interested in school activities.

Sam Hill is really bad at finding his way from place to place. The world is full of people like Hill—and their opposites, who always seem to know exactly where they are and how to get where they want to go. It has proved hard to explain why. However, with the development of technology, there’s new excitement happening in the research world.
An experiment was carried out in 2022 to find out what might influence way finding ability. Researchers developed an online game in which players travel by boat to find where a lot of checkpoints lie. The game asked players to provide basic background information , and nearly four million people worldwide did so. Through the game, the researchers were able to judge navigational (辨识方向的) ability by looking at how far each person traveled to reach all the cheek points. Then they compared players’ performance with their background information.
The researchers found that Northern Europeans seemed to be better navigations, perhaps because they love orienteering (定向越野), a sport which involves cross- country running and navigation. And those from cities with more disorganized street networks (网状系统) did better than those from cities with orderly ones. Perhaps people of planned cities don’t need to build complex (复杂的) maps in their minds.
Research results like these suggest that people’s life experience decides how well they find their way. In fact experience may even explain a popular belief that men are more likely to perform better than women. It turns out that this difference is more a question of culture and experience than of in born ability. Northern Europeans, for example, show almost no gender (性别) difference in navigation. However, men do much better than women in places where women face cultural limits on exploring their environment on their own.
That finding is also supported by studies on the Tsimane, a community living in a forest in South America. Researchers put GPS units on 305 Tsimane people to check their daily movements over a three-day period, and found no difference between men and women in navigational ability. Even children performed very well—a result, researchers think, of growing up in an environment that encourages children to explore the forest.
27. Why was an experiment carried out in 2022
A. To develop an online way finding game.
B. To improve the players’ way finding ability.
C. To pick out people who are weak in way finding.
D. To find out why people are different in way finding ability.
28. According to the passage, who is probably the best at finding their way
A. A woman who often explores nature.
B. A girl who studies South American culture.
C. A man who runs on a sports ground every morning.
D. A boy who lives in a city with an orderly street network.
29. What can we learn from the passage
A. Good navigators are mostly made, not born.
B. Navigation skills differ between the genders.
C. Navigation skills are passed down, never lost.
D. Good navigators bring developments in technology.
D
Almost everyone has experienced the feeling of discomfort when their actions do not agree with their inner values. A man for example, values work-life balance yet works 80 hours every week, caring little about his own health and family. Another example is a boy who holds his parents’ love dear but gets angry at them in a moment of stress; or a woman who hopes to live healthily but gives in to the attraction of fast food during moments of weakness.
This disagreement can lead to serious results, such as worsening relationships, limited personal growth, and self-doubt. The emotional effects of feeling out of control and unable to live up to our own standards can also be deeply harmful. The shame and upset that go along with these feelings often force us into silence, resulting in more self-doubt. One reason for this silence might be that admitting (承认) to these behaviors can feel like showing a weakness or mistake that society tells us should be kept hidden. What’s more, recognizing this disagreement requires coming face to face with uncomfortable truths about ourselves—a process that is as discouraging as it is necessary for growth.
Recognizing and addressing these behaviors can provide a possibility of change. By looking into the causes of our behaviors, we can begin to understand our actions more easily and work toward sticking to our beliefs. Research supports the idea that recognizing this disagreement, together with mindfulness and open communication, can help with this process. These methods help us slow down, reflect (反思), and choose behaviors that follow our values more closely, even in the face of old habits or immediate needs.
The key to dealing with this disagreement lies in compassion (同情) for ourselves and others. By developing a culture of openness and by understanding the challenges of aligning behaviors with beliefs, we can begin to break down what prevents us from having conversation and change. Admitting that this disagreement is a shared part of the human experience can enable us to speak openly, find support, and take necessary steps toward the agreement between our inner world and our actions.
While the disagreement between our inner values and actions may be common, through reflection, understanding and purposeful practice, we can bridge the divide and set out on a journey of self-discovery.
30. Why does the writer use the examples in Paragraph 1
A. To stress an unavoidable need. B. To show a result of the wrong values.
C. To describe a common human experience. D. To introduce a change in people’s relationships.
31. What does the word “aligning” in Paragraph 4 most probably mean
A. Matching. B. Comparing. C. Mixing. D. Confusing.
32. Which of the following would the writer most probably agree with
A. Discomfort forces us to give up our beliefs.
B. Our behaviors weaken our understandings of life.
C. Open communication makes it possible for us to change.
D. Keeping silent allows us time to live up to our standards.
33. What is the writer’s main purpose in writing this passage
A. To encourage people to stay true to their beliefs.
B. To prove the importance of having the right values.
C. To compare different ways to deal with discomfort.
D. To discuss the influence of people’s improper actions.

四、阅读表达（第1-3题每题2分，第4题4分，共10分）
阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。
Recently, I started to use an app to keep a record of my running. Each run I wanted to go a little farther, run a little faster and burn more calories (卡路里). Last night I finished an 8.3-km run in 46 minutes and burnt 468 calories. In comparison, my run two days ago was 8.6 km in 46 minutes with 483 calories burnt. This inner self-comparison left me feeling disappointed. I became so focused (专注的) on the numbers that I forgot to consider what I achieved.
These tiny differences in numbers kept me away from the bigger picture: how did I actually feel after completing my most recent run Well, honestly, I was completely tired out. What good is running to beat your top score if you don’t feel on top
We should exercise for the purpose of building our confidence. And working out harder and faster may serve that purpose. But confidence building comes with being able to do more in our day-to-day life, experiencing less pain and more freedom in movement, and feeling good after a workout. Fitness should help us with our quality (质量) of life, the ability to sleep, good memory, among other things. Fitness should not just come with the eagerness for the success in numbers.
In our busy lives, we only have limited time for fitness. When we do physical exercise, we should value what feels good over what looks or sounds good. Sometimes what serves us and our health is coming home and doing a light workout, like going on a short bike ride. Sometimes what serves us is simply going to sleep at 9:30 p.m. instead of forcing ourselves into a workout. Apps of this kind are a great way for us to keep an eye on our health. But don’t read into the numbers to the point where you lose out on feeling proud that you are taking care of yourself. So my advice is: when you do physical exercise, make sure you feel good about yourself over feeling good about the numbers.
34. Why did the writer start to use the app
_____________________________
35. What did the writer forget to consider when he became too focused on the numbers
_____________________________
36. According to the writer, what should be our purpose of doing exercise
_____________________________
37. When you do physical exercise, which do you think is more important, feeling good about yourself or feeling good about the numbers Why (Please give two reasons.)

The school year began. As president of the recycling club, Scott was thinking about new activities to encourage other students to become more enthusiastic (热心的) about recycling. His club had helped to recycle a lot of waste for the past five years and he hoped that this year they would do even better.
Scott went home one day and looked online, hoping to find ideas for events the club could organize at school. During his research, he learned that the amount (数量) of electronic waste, or e-waste, is increasing rapidly. Scott was upset with himself for not noticing this problem sooner. At that moment, he began to develop a plan.
“There is a special project I want us to work on this term,” Scott announced (宣布) at the recycling club meeting the next day. “We have all heard about e-waste, but recently I learned about the bad effects it’s having on our environment.” He went on to tell the club members that he wanted them to organize an e-waste drive—a day when students and their families could drop off unwanted electronics to be recycled. “Now let’s get to work!”
For several weeks, the recycling club was busy preparing for the upcoming e-waste drive, or e-drive as it was soon called.
The big day finally arrived, and Scott was nervous. He and the other members arrived at school early to make sure that everything would go smoothly. Everyone waited eagerly, hoping that students of the school would take part in the event.
It wasn’t long before the first cars pulled into the school parking lot. After a while, more people arrived. Phones, TV sets, computers and keyboards soon began piling up (堆积) .
At the end of the event, Scott heard someone suggest that the school should have an e-drive event every term. Scott smiled, realizing that a simple action could truly have a lasting influence.
24. What did Scott learn during his research online
A. Students are enthusiastic about recycling. B. There is a lot of waste recycled every year.
C. The amount of e-waste is increasing rapidly. D. There are many recycling clubs in the country.
25. How did Scott feel at first on that big day
A. Proud. B. Upset. C. Excited. D. Nervous.
26. What did Scott realize at the end of the e-drive event

C. Teamwork is valuable for the success of events. D. Family members are interested in school activities.

C
Sam Hill is really bad at finding his way from place to place. The world is full of people like Hill—and their opposites, who always seem to know exactly where they are and how to get where they want to go. It has proved hard to explain why. However, with the development of technology, there’s new excitement happening in the research world.
An experiment was carried out in 2022 to find out what might influence way finding ability. Researchers developed an online game in which players travel by boat to find where a lot of checkpoints lie. The game asked players to provide basic background information , and nearly four million people worldwide did so. Through the game, the researchers were able to judge navigational (辨识方向的) ability by looking at how far each person traveled to reach all the cheek points. Then they compared players’ performance with their background information.
The researchers found that Northern Europeans seemed to be better navigations, perhaps because they love orienteering (定向越野), a sport which involves cross- country running and navigation. And those from cities with more disorganized street networks (网状系统) did better than those from cities with orderly ones. Perhaps people of planned cities don’t need to build complex (复杂的) maps in their minds.
Research results like these suggest that people’s life experience decides how well they find their way. In fact, experience may even explain a popular belief that men are more likely to perform better than women. It turns out that this difference is more a question of culture and experience than of in born ability. Northern Europeans, for example, show almost no gender (性别) difference in navigation. However, men do much better than women in places where women face cultural limits on exploring their environment on their own.
That finding is also supported by studies on the Tsimane, a community living in a forest in South America. Researchers put GPS units on 305 Tsimane people to check their daily movements over a three-day period, and found no difference between men and women in navigational ability. Even children performed very well—a result, researchers think, of growing up in an environment that encourages children to explore the forest.
27. Why was an experiment carried out in 2022
A. To develop an online way finding game.
B. To improve the players’ way finding ability.
C. To pick out people who are weak in way finding.
D. To find out why people are different in way finding ability.
28. According to the passage, who is probably the best at finding their way
A. A woman who often explores nature.
B. A girl who studies South American culture.
C. A man who runs on a sports ground every morning.
D. A boy who lives in a city with an orderly street network.
29. What can we learn from the passage
A. Good navigators are mostly made, not born.
B. Navigation skills differ between the genders.
C. Navigation skills are passed down, never lost.
D. Good navigators bring developments in technology.
【答案】27. D 28. A 29. A
【解析】
【导语】本文主要探讨了人们在辨识方向能力上的差异及其原因。研究表明，生活经验决定了人们的辨识方向能力，文化和经验比天生能力更重要。
【27题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段第一句“An experiment was carried out in 2022 to find out what might influence way finding ability.”可知，2022年进行实验的目的是找出人们认路能力不同的原因。故选D。
【28题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段第一句“Research results like these suggest that people’s life experience decides how well they find their way.”可知，人们的生活经历决定了他们在认路方面的表现，结合最后一段最后一句“Even children performed very well—a result, researchers think, of growing up in an environment that encourages children to explore the forest.”可知，A选项“一个经常探索自然的女性”最为符合。故选A。
【29题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“In fact, experience may even explain a popular belief that men are more likely to perform better than women. It turns out that this difference is more a question of culture and experience than of in born ability. ”可知，事实上，经验甚至可以解释一种普遍的观点——男性比女性更有可能表现得更好。事实证明，这种差异与其说是天生的能力问题，不如说是文化和经验的问题。由此推知，好的领航员大多是培养出来的，而不是天生的。故选A。
D
Almost everyone has experienced the feeling of discomfort when their actions do not agree with their inner values. A man, for example, values work-life balance yet works 80 hours every week, caring little about his own health and family. Another example is a boy who holds his parents’ love dear but gets angry at them in a moment of stress; or a woman who hopes to live healthily but gives in to the attraction of fast food during moments of weakness.
This disagreement can lead to serious results, such as worsening relationships, limited personal growth, and self-doubt. The emotional effects of feeling out of control and unable to live up to our own standards can also be deeply harmful. The shame and upset that go along with these feelings often force us into silence, resulting in more self-doubt. One reason for this silence might be that admitting (承认) to these behaviors can feel like showing a weakness or mistake that society tells us should be kept hidden. What’s more, recognizing this disagreement requires coming face to face with uncomfortable truths about ourselves—a process that is as discouraging as it is necessary for growth.
Recognizing and addressing these behaviors can provide a possibility of change. By looking into the causes of our behaviors, we can begin to understand our actions more easily and work toward sticking to our beliefs. Research supports the idea that recognizing this disagreement, together with mindfulness and open communication, can help with this process. These methods help us slow down, reflect (反思), and choose behaviors that follow our values more closely, even in the face of old habits or immediate needs.
The key to dealing with this disagreement lies in compassion (同情) for ourselves and others. By developing a culture of openness and by understanding the challenges of aligning behaviors with beliefs we can begin to break down what prevents us from having conversation and change. Admitting that this disagreement is a shared part of the human experience can enable us to speak openly, find support, and take necessary steps toward the agreement between our inner world and our actions.
While the disagreement between our inner values and actions may be common, through reflection, understanding and purposeful practice, we can bridge the divide and set out on a journey of self-discovery.
30. Why does the writer use the examples in Paragraph 1
A. To stress an unavoidable need. B. To show a result of the wrong values.
C. To describe a common human experience. D. To introduce a change in people’s relationships.
31. What does the word “aligning” in Paragraph 4 most probably mean
A. Matching. B. Comparing. C. Mixing. D. Confusing.
32. Which of the following would the writer most probably agree with
A. Discomfort forces us to give up our beliefs.
B. Our behaviors weaken our understandings of life.
C. Open communication makes it possible for us to change.
D. Keeping silent allows us time to live up to our standards.
33. What is the writer’s main purpose in writing this passage
A. To encourage people to stay true to their beliefs.
B. To prove the importance of having the right values.
C. To compare different ways to deal with discomfort.
D. To discuss the influence of people’s improper actions.
【答案】30. C 31. A 32. C 33. A

第二部分
本部分共5题，共20分。根据题目要求，完成相应任务。
四、阅读表达（第1-3题每题2分，第4题4分，共10分）
阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。
Recently, I started to use an app to keep a record of my running. Each run I wanted to go a little farther, run a little faster and burn more calories (卡路里). Last night I finished an 8.3-km run in 46 minutes and burnt 468 calories. In comparison, my run two days ago was 8.6 km in 46 minutes with 483 calories burnt. This inner self-comparison left me feeling disappointed. I became so focused (专注的) on the numbers that I forgot to consider what I achieved.
These tiny differences in numbers kept me away from the bigger picture: how did I actually feel after completing my most recent run Well, honestly, I was completely tired out. What good is running to beat your top score if you don’t feel on top
We should exercise for the purpose of building our confidence. And working out harder and faster may serve that purpose. But confidence building comes with being able to do more in our day-to-day life, experiencing less pain and more freedom in movement, and feeling good after a workout. Fitness should help us with our quality (质量) of life, the ability to sleep, good memory, among other things. Fitness should not just come with the eagerness for the success in numbers.
In our busy lives, we only have limited time for fitness. When we do physical exercise, we should value what feels good over what looks or sounds good. Sometimes what serves us and our health is coming home and doing a light workout, like going on a short bike ride. Sometimes what serves us is simply going to sleep at 9:30 p.m. instead of forcing ourselves into a workout. Apps of this kind are a great way for us to keep an eye on our health. But don’t read into the numbers to the point where you lose out on feeling proud that you are taking care of yourself. So my advice is: when you do physical exercise, make sure you feel good about yourself over feeling good about the numbers.
34. Why did the writer start to use the app
_____________________________
35. What did the writer forget to consider when he became too focused on the numbers
_____________________________
36. According to the writer, what should be our purpose of doing exercise
_____________________________
37. When you do physical exercise, which do you think is more important, feeling good about yourself or feeling good about the numbers Why (Please give two reasons.)
_____________________________
【答案】34. To keep a record of his running.
35. He forgot to consider what he achieved.
36. Building our confidence.
37. Feeling good about yourself is more important than feeling good about the numbers. Because exercise should improve our quality of life and feeling good about yourself is more motivating and sustainable.
【解析】
【导语】本文介绍了作者反思过度关注运动数据带来的负面影响，强调运动的目的是提升生活质量，而非仅仅追求数字上的进步。
【34题详解】
根据“Recently, I started to use an app to keep a record of my running.”可知，作者开始使用一个应用程序来记录跑步情况。故填To keep a record of his running.
【35题详解】
根据“I became so focused (专注的) on the numbers that I forgot to consider what I achieved.”可知，作者忘记了考虑他所取得的。故填He forgot to consider what he achieved.
【36题详解】
根据“We should exercise for the purpose of building our confidence.”可知，我们应该为了建立我们信心而锻炼。故填Building our confidence.
【37题详解】
开放性试题，言之有理即可。例如，自我感觉良好比数字感觉良好更重要。锻炼可以提高我们的生活质量。自我感觉良好更有动力，也更持久。故填Feeling good about yourself is more important than feeling good about the numbers. Because exercise should improve our quality of life and feeling good about yourself is more motivating and sustainable.
