(全国)二、阅读理解（每题2分，共11题，满分22分）【A班及其以上班全做，其他班C篇选作】AMany people have bought insurances（保险）, either life or property, commercial or compulsory. Yet some people know little about it and some even misunderstand its nature and function.Insurance is the sharing of risks. Nearly everyone is exposed to risk of some sort. The house owner, for example, knows that his property can be damaged by fire; the ship-owner knows that his ships may be lost at sea; the breadwinner knows that he may die at an early age and leave his family poorer. On the other hand, not every house is damaged by fire nor every ship is lost at sea. If these persons each put a small sum into a pool, there will be enough to meet the needs of the few who do suffer losses. In other words, the losses of the few are met from the contributions of the many. This is the basis of insurance. Those who pay thecontribution are known as insured and those who administer the pool of contributions as insurers.The legal basis of all insurance is the policy. This is a printed form of contract on a piece of paper in best quality. It states that every year the insured shall pay a named sum of money, which is called the premium; in return, the insurer will pay a sum of money or compensation for loss if the risk or event insured against actually happens.The premium for an insurance naturally depends upon how likely the risk is to happen, as suggested by past experience. If companies fix their premiums too high, there will be more competition in their area of insurance and they may lose business. On the other hand, if they make the premium too low, they will lose money and may even have to drop out of business. So the ordinary forces of supply and demand keep premiums at a level satisfactory to both the insurer and the insured.16. The underlined phrase in Para. 2 most probably means ______.A. money paid by the insurersB. the amount of each premiumC. money paid by all those insuredD. the cost of administering insurance17. Insurance premiums do not become too high because ______.A. not many people insure themselvesB. premiums depend on the risk of lossC. insurers have to be more competitiveD. insurance companies can never lose money18. According to the passage, insurance business gains profit because ______.A. more and more people buy insuranceB. the firms have a soundmanagementC. premium is increased year by yearD. only a few of those insured sufferlosses19. The purpose of the passage is ______.A. to explain an insurance policyB. to introduce insurance businessC. to persuade people to be insuredD. to warn people of possible lossesBShortly after the war, my brother and I were invited to spend a few days with an uncle who had just returned from abroad. He had rented a cottage in the country, although he rarely spent much time there. We understood the reason for this after our arrival: the cottage had no comfortable furniture in it, many of the windows were broken and the roof leaked, making the whole house damp.On our first evening, we sat around the fire after supper listening to the stories which our uncle had to tell of his many adventures in distant countries. I was so tired after the long train journey that I would have preferred to go to bed; but I could not bear to miss any of my uncle’s exciting tales.He was just in the middle of describing a rather terrifying experience he had once had when there was a loud crash from the bedroom above, the one where my brother and I were going to sleep.“It sounds as if the roof has fallen in!” exclaimed my uncle, with a loud laugh.When we got to the top of the stairs and opened the bedroom door, we could see nothing at first because of the thick clouds of dust which filled the room. When the dust began to clear, a strange sight met our eyes. A large part of the ceiling（天花板）had collapsed, falling right on to the pillow of my bed. I was glad that I had stayed up late to listen to my uncle’s stories, otherwise I should certainly have been seriously injured, perhaps killed.That night we all slept on the floor to the sitting room downstairs, not wishing to risk our lives by sleeping under a roof which might at any moment collapse（倒塌）on our heads. We left for London the very next morning and my uncle gave up his cottage in the country. This was not the kind of adventure he cared for either!20. The uncle seldom spent much time in the country cottage because ______.A. the roof of the cottage was fallingB. the cottage was in a bad conditionC. he was used to living abroadD. there was no furniture in it21. When they opened the bedroom door, they could see nothing at first because ______.A. it was completely dark insideB. dust was blown into their eyesC. something strange blinded themD. there was too much dust in the air22. The narrator felt glad that he had stayed up late because ______.A. he did not miss the exciting storiesB. he spent more time with his uncleC. he had a lucky escapeD. he saw a strange sight23. Which of the following can best describe the narrator’s uncle?A. Adventurous and good at storytelling.B. Humorous and good at making jokes.C. Dependable and generous with money.D. Considerate and sensitive to danger.COur success, satisfaction and general happiness in life is not dependent on what happens to us but how we deal with it.You will probably know yourself from personal experience what a difference your attitude can make when, for example, you’re returning faulty goods or making a complaint. An open, polite and friendly approach, expecting a satisfactory result, normally results in one as people tend to respond with a similar attitude. If, however, you present an argument with an angry, accusing tone, expecting trouble, there is little doubt that this is what you’ll get!Some people see the world through a filter of optimism and some through a filter of pessimism which largely comes down to having a positive or negative attitude. People who are suffering from a negative attitude primarily think that something can’t be done; they dwell on problems, see all the pitfalls, find fault with and criticize other people and focus on all the things they would like but haven’t got. People blessed with a positive attitude by contrast think that anything is possible, they look for solutions, they see the good in everybody, and they are grateful for all the good things in their lives.Whether suffering from or blessed with your attitude, this is not something that is put on us from the outside. We are very much responsible for our own attitude. We all start out with a “clean” board but this can get muddied by our experiences in life. As children we get ridiculed and bullied, criticized and rejected,start to experience doubt and lose our self-confidence. If this continues into adulthood, it can result in a bad attitude in later life.24. It can be inferred from Paragraph 2 that people are likely to treat others ______.A. the way they are treatedB. better when they are satisfiedC. worse when they are in troubleD. the way they consider appropriate25. According to the writer, what affects people’s life attitude?A. the situation they faceB. the people around themC. their expectations of lifeD. the way they view the world26. What is the purpose of the writer in writing this passage?A. to show how to avoid a negative attitudeB. to show the importance of a positive attitudeC. to share his positive attitude with his readersD. to describe the effects of a negative attitude三、七选五（每题2分，共5道题，满分10分）。

Use specific examples or scenarios to support your ideas.My Vision for the Future of EducationIn envisioning the future of education, I picture a landscape where learning transcends traditional boundaries, embracing technology, fosteringcreativity, and nurturing individuality. This vision is rooted in the belief that education should not merely equip students with factual knowledge but inspire them to become lifelong learners, critical thinkers, and active contributors to society.At the heart of this vision lies the integration of technology. Imagine classrooms equipped with smart boards, augmented reality tools, andartificial intelligence-powered assistants, making lessons come alive through immersive experiences. Virtual field trips to the depths of the ocean or the far reaches of space become possible, bridging the gap between theory and practice. Moreover, personalized learning platforms adjustcurricula based on each student’s pace, strengths, and interests, ensuring no one falls behind or feels bored.The role of teachers evolves, shifting from mere dispensers of information to facilitators of inquiry and guides of self-discovery. They encourage critical thinking, fostering environments where students question assumptions, collaborate on projects, and innovate solutions. This shift necessitates continuous professional development for educators, ensuring they stay abreast of the latest educational research and technology.In this future education system, the emphasis is on holistic development. Students learn not just science, math, and literature but also emotional intelligence, empathy, and social skills. Programs promoting mental health, resilience, and global citizenship become integral parts of the curriculum. Through service learning projects and international exchanges, students develop a sense of responsibility towards their communities and the world beyond.Ultimately, the goal of education in this vision is to nurture individuals who can navigate an increasingly complex and interconnected world. Graduates will possess the adaptability, creativity, and ethical compass necessary to tackle the challenges of tomorrow, from climate change to technological disruptions. They will be equipped to innovate, collaborate, and lead, shaping a future society that is more equitable, sustainable, and prosperous.Example Paragraph for Inspiration:In my vision, students engage in interdisciplinary projects that merge art, science, and technology. For instance, a group of high schoolers might design a sustainable community powered by renewable energy, where they use coding skills to optimize energy distribution and collaborate with artists to create public murals depicting the beauty of nature and the importance of conservation. This not only teaches technical skills but also fosters creativity, teamwork, and a deep appreciation for the environment.This essay outlines a vision for the future of education that is forward-thinking, inclusive, and focused on nurturing well-rounded individuals capable of positively impacting society.。

Recently, I experienced a wonderful lesson in how little things still mean a lot. My home is on the Big Island of Hawaii. About a month ago, when I 31 my car and was about to drive off, I 32 at the roadside. A piece of paper 33 my eye. I picked it up and read it 34 . Instantly, I was grateful that I had done that.The form turned out to be a receipt from the State Motor Vehicle Division, documenting the owners’35 of their Vehicle’s Registration fees. Quickly, I put myself in their shoes and36 : no one would throw this away, especially 37 it was current. I also looked over the form for contact or any personal 38 , perhaps a license tag or telephone number. But that seemed 39 .The form had been blown by the wind, so 40 would I find the owners? Had it been lying there for a few minutes or a week? So I checked the date and 41 the names of the owners, who must 42 in our town, I believed that the best and easiest step to take was to put the form in a(n) 43 addressed to the couple and mail it by post. Further, I imagined that if I had posted the receipt to a wrong 44 ,how frantic（慌乱的）I’d be. But it was much 45 to attempt to return it than to leave them angry, upest, etc. over the 46 , so I did as I thought.My hunch（预感）was right. On the weekend, a happy couple 47 my house and brought me a big gift. They said they had panicked（恐慌）and 48 the receipt madly everywhere before giving up. Without it they would have to 49 another $8,000. It felt great to know I’d helped someone avoid a major trouble by doing 50 which at first glance seemed minor.31.A.found B.started C.bought D.parkedy down B.flew down C.glanced down D.jumped down33.A.caught B.blocked C.kept D.covered34.A.suddenly B.gladly C.formally D.carefully35.A.application B.payment C.permission D.achievement36.A.decided B.planned C.calculated D.thought37.A.if B.because C.when D.though38.A.opinions B.news C.data D.matters39.A.possible B.important eful D.unlikely40.A.why B.how C.what D.which41.A.noted B.recalled C.called D.changed42.A.wait B.live C.stop D.study43.A.bag B.pocket C.envelope D.dustbin44.A.place B.country C.way D.station45.A.sadder B.better C.worse D.faster46.A.luck B.pain C.mistake D.loss47.A.called at B.toured around C.ran towards D.returned to48.A.took away B.searched for C.looked at D.asked about49.A.earn B.save C.borrow D.spend50.A.anything B.nothing C.something D.everything第三部分：阅读理解AMore and more governments all over the world are increasingly having swimming incorporated（包含）into their national school courses. This trend is formed by many factors.One factor is the understanding that swimming is an important life skill, much like writing or cooking. A person without swimming skills risks losing his life in a situation where the ship he is traveling in happens to sink and he has to swim to the shore. Of course, not everyone chooses to travel in vessels（船只）.But sometimes travel in vessels is inevitable, such as in a city where the only way to cross from one part to another is by boat. There is also the risk of a bus falling off a bridge into a river, where the only way to save one’s life is by swimming.Another factor in the decision to incorporate swimming skills into school courses is that swimming is a good way of exercising. Now many countries in the developed world are struggling with the problem of people being overweight, and any activity that can help in fighting this problem should be encouraged.The third factor is that swimming is a great activity because once a person gets a feel of it, they tend to get hooked on to it. So it is not a “painful”form of exercise, but something one does for fun, while at the same time keeping fit.The decision to incorporate swimming into school courses is also influenced by the understanding that activities like swimming are best learned when a person is young , and that between 8 and 12 years is a good time to learn it. Of course, it is even better for a child to learn swimming at an earlier age, though swimming is not encouraged for children under the age of 4.51.According to the author , more and more governments______.A.are encouraging teachers to swim with their childrenB.are requiring students to swim after schoolC.are encouraging schools to attach more importance to swimmingD.are planning to test their students on swimming52.The underlined word “inevitable”in Paragraph 2 probably means “_______”.A.not being solvedB.dangerous or worryingC.interesting or meaningfulD.sure to happen53.How many factors that influenced the decision to make swimming a school course are mentioned in the passage?A.Two.B.Three.C.Four.D.Five.54.What is the best age for a child to learn swim according to the passage?A.At the age of 3.B.Between 4 and 8.C.Between 8 and 12.D.After the age of 14.BIn the United States, when one becomes rich, he wants people to know it. And even if he does not become very rich, he wants people to think that he is. That is what “keeping up with the Joneses” is about. It is the story of someone who tried to look as rich as his neighbours.The expression was first used in 1913 by a young American called Arthur Momand. He told this story about himself. He began earning $125 a week at the age of 23. That was a lot of money in those days. He got married and moved with his wife to a very wealthy neighbourhood outside New York City. When he saw that rich people rode horses, Momand went horseback riding every day. When he saw that rich people had servants, Momand and his wife also hired a servant and gave big parties for their new neighbours.It was like a race, but one could never finish his race because one was always trying to keep up. The race ended for Momand and his wife when they could no longer pay for their new way if life. They moved back to an apartment in New York City.Momand looked around him and noticed that many people do things just to keep up with rich lifestyle of their neighbours. He saw the funny side of it and started to write a series of short stories. He called it “Keeping up with the Joneses” because “Jones” is a very common name in the United States. “Keeping up with the Joneses” came to mean keeping up with rich lifestyle of the people around you. Momand’s series appeared in different newspapers across the country for over 28 years.People never seem to get tired of keeping up with the Joneses. And there are “Joneses” in every city of the world. But one must get tired of trying to keep up with the Joneses because no matter what one does, Mr Jones always seems to be ahead.55.Some people want to keep up with the Joneses bacause they _______.A.want to be as rich as their neigboursB.want others to know or to think that they are richC.don’t want others to know they are richD.want to be happy56.It can be inferred from the story that rich people like to _______.A.live outside New York CityB.live in New York cityC.live in apartmentsD.have many neighbours57.Arthur Momand used the name “Jones” in his series of short stories because “Jones” is ______.A.an important nameB.a popular name in the United StatesC.his neighbour’s nameD.not a good name58.According to the writer, it is _______ to keep up with the Joneses.A.correctB.interestingC.impossibleD.goodCReal Christmas trees on farms would not exist if people stopped buying them. Just one acre of growing Christmas trees produces the daily oxygen requirements for at least eighteen people.Christmas tree farms protect water supplies, stabilize soil, and help protect wildlife. The forests of North America spread over roughly the same area of land as they did a century ago andin the past ten years have in fact expanded by almost ten million acres. Furthermore, to guarantee a steady supply, one to three new seedlings are planted for every tree they harvest.With global warming being such a major concern, developing woodlands is an essential part of the fight. While potted trees are a better alternative than artificial, they require a certain amount of care. Bur it would be a better choice than a plastic tree which will remain under the ground for centuries once it’s discarded.On average, it takes a Christmas tree five to sixteen years to become mature. Before the Christmas tree industry appeared, people used to cut trees from forests, sometimes unlawfully, and usually with no concern for the possible harm to the forest. But today, Christmas tree growers plant as many as fifty million trees per year.Several districts have recycling programs that turn Christmas trees into mulch（覆盖物）.For a small fee, the Boy Scouts will deal with it. Fake Christmas trees can’t be recycled, while real Christmas trees support life. We shouldn’t add more pollution to our earth.If you know a needy family in need of a Christmas tree, buy them a real one. Give a live Christmas tree to someone this Christmas and what you do will help protect the environment.59.The underlined word “discarded”(in Paragraph3) can be replaced by _______.A.plantedB.movedC.transportedD.deserted60.According to the passage, real Christmas trees _______.A.can’t be recycledB.need much careC.will stay under the groundD.make the global warming worse61.We may infer from the passage that the Boy Scouts will _______.A.buy artificial Christmas treesB.sell real Christmas treesC.make artificial Christmas treesD.recycle real Christmas trees62.The purpose of the passage is to call on people to _______.A.plant real Christmas treesB.stop cutting down Christmas treesC.stop buying fake Christmas treesD.deal with plastic Christmas treesDEmily Elizabeth Dickinson was born on December 10,1830 in the quiet community of Amherst, Massachusetts, the second daughter of Edward and Emily Norcross Dickinson. Emily, Austin (her elder brother) and her younger sister Lavinia were raised in a quiet, reserved family headed by their authoritative father Edward. Throughout Emily’s life, her mother was not “emotionally accessible”, the absence of which might have caused some of Emily’s strange behaviors.The Dickinson family was famous in Amherst. Unlike her father, Emily did not enjoy the popularity and excitement of public life in Amherst, and she began to withdraw. Emily did not fit in with her father’s religion in Amherst, and her father began to monitor the books she read because of their potential to draw her away from the faith.Emily had a good education and attended the Amherst Academy. Although Emily never married, she had several important relationships with a select few. In her early twenties, Emily began to write poetry seriously. Fortunately, Emily met two very influential men that would be sources of inspiration and guidance: Charles Wadsworth and Thomas Wentworth Higginson. Charles Wadsworth, aged 41, had a powerful effect on Emily’s life and her poetry. On her trip to Philadelphia, Emily met Wadsworth, who was to become her “dearest earthly friend”. Wadsworth,like Dickinson, was a solitary（喜欢独处的）,romantic person that Emily could trust in when writing her poetry. Most importantly, it is widely believed that Emily had a great love for Wadsworth even though he was married.On April 15,1862 she met Thomas Wentworth Higginson, a famous literary man and sent four poems to ask for his advice about publication. Although Higginson advised Dickinson against publishing her poetry, he did see the creative talent in her poetry. As a result, only seven of her poems were published in her lifetime. On May 15,1886 Emily took her last breath at 56, leaving behind nearly 2,000 poems.63.According to Paragraph 1 , Emily Dickinson________.A.had at least three sistersB.was the second child in the familyC.was born in a rich familyD.had an authoritative mother64.Who might be reaponsible for Emily’s strange behaviors according to the passage?A.Edward Dickinson.B.Emily Norcross Dickinson.C.Austin Dickinson.vinia Dickinson65.Why did Emily probably regard Wadsworth as her best friend?A.Because Wadsworth guided Emily how to write poems.B.Because Wadsworth was more influential than Higginson.C.Because Wadsworth was the first poet Emily met on her trip.D.Because Emily and Wadsworth had much in common.66.It can be inferred from the passage that ______.A.Emily died from anger by not publishing her poemsB.the rest of Emily’s poems were of little valueC.most of Emily’s poems weren’t widely circulated before her deathD.Higginson was jealous of Emily’s creative talentERobots that can make their own decisions have so far been limited to science fiction movies, but a child-sized figure with big eyes and a white face is trying hard to turn fiction into reality. Its name is iCub and scientists are hoping it will learn how to adapt its behavior to changing situations, offering new ideas into the development of human consciousness.Six types of iCub exist in laboratories across Europe, where scientists are painstakingly improving their electronic brains to make them able to learn, just like human children. “Our goal is to make them really understand something that is very human: the ability to co-work with humans, to understand what somebody else wants them to do, to be able to follow humans and work with them ,” said research director, Peter Ford Dominey.iCub is about one meter high, with a clear body and arms and legs made up of complicated electronic circuits（电路）.It has a white face with a nose and big round eyes that can see and follow moving objects. “Shall we play the old game or play a new one ?” iCub asked Dominey during a recent experiment at a laboratory in Lyon in southeastern France. Its voice was robotic, unsurprisingly, though it did have the tone of a person asking a question. The “game” consisted of one person picking up a box, revealing a toy that was placed underneath . Then another person picked up the toy, before putting it down again. Finally, the first person put the box back down on top of the toy. Having watched two humans perform this action, iCub was able to join in the fun. “The purpose of the experiment is to demonstrate that it can change roles. It can play the role ofeither the first person in the interaction（互动）or the second,”said Dominey, who receives European Union’s economic support for his work on iCub.While such simple entertaining activities may seem disappointing to fans of C-3PO, the robot in Star Wars movies who says with much pride that he is fluent in more than six million forms of communication, they are at the cutting edge（前沿）of robotics and of clear interest to science. “These robots will be a huge tool for the philosophy of the mind,” said Dominey, whose research mainly focuses on building computer models for different brain functions.67.What is implied in the first paragraph?_______A.Robots’ abilities in science fiction films are limited.B.Robots with human consciousness haven’t been developed.C.iCub can change situations according to its will.D.iCub will be able to make its own decisions.68.iCub is supposed to be able to ________.A.sound like a human beingB.change humans’ decisionsC.do what humans ask it to doD.work in place of humans69.The recent experiment is aimed at showing that iCub can _______.A.play games with humansB.have fun in a gameC.pick up and put down a toyD.adjust its roles in the interaction70.What does “they”refer to in the last paragraph?A.Star Wars movies.B.Fans of C-3PO.C.Entertaining activities.D.Research into robots.第四部分：书面表达第一节：完成句子71._____________________________（一旦吸烟上瘾）, you will have to make a great effort togive it up.(addict)72._____________________________（这是怎么发生的）that he was put into prison?(come)73._____________________________（由于偏见）that people with HIV sometimes lose theirfriends.(due)74.With ____________________________（一名导游带领）us,we visited the famouscastle.(conduct)75.So far large quantities of water ___________________（被污染）because of the chemicalfactory.(pollute)76.We have been told that under no circumstances ____________________（我们可以使用电话）in the office for personal use.(use)77.We missed the early bus in the morning; otherwise we ____________________（能够到达）here before lunch time.(arrive)78._______________________（用完了）all their money , they had little chance of surviving.(run)79.It was reported in the local newspaper that the accident ________________（导致）the death of40 passengers.(result)80.China has long been a leader in the field of genetic research ________________（旨在提高）agriculture.(aim)第二节：短文写作Dear Mr Zhang,My name is Li Hua and I’m a senior high school student.
