If you need an inspiring talk from a kindergartner, there's a hotline for that. This free hotline is called "Joy4all Hotline". If you call the phone number, you'll hear recordings of kids sharing words of encouragement.
The Joy4all Hotline is a school project created at an elementary school in California. It's run by an art teacher Maggie Clancy. Clancy started the hotline because she was concerned about the stressful things that her students had gone through. She aims to bring some joy back into the lives of her students, who range in age from 5 to 12.
To create the hotline, Clancy recorded her students. She instructed the kids to say something that had helped them during a difficult time. The hotline project also included the creation of posters. These posters displayed motivational phrases and were placed around town. The idea is to spread joy in the community.
When callers dial 707-968-8510, they are greeted by Clancy's daughter. The 11-year-old welcomes them with the following menu:
“If you're feeling mad, frustrated or nervous, press 1. If you need words of encouragement and life advice, press 2. If you need an inspiring talk from kindergartners, press3. If you need to hear kids laughing with delight, press 4, and for encouragement is Spanish, press 5.”
When the project first started, Clancy hoped the hotline would receive 100 calls an hour. But within two days the hotline was getting over 500 calls an hour. Now, it is people with conquering anxiety and give people hope that will be good stuff happening more in the world. The project's success proves how much the world currently needs this kind of positive messaging.
“I think people are just looking for ways to feel connected,”Clancy said. “I think this hotline does that in a very pure, sweet way.”
24. Why did Clancy start the hotline?
A To spread joyful news reports. B. To support home schooling
C To introduce encouraging posters D. To lift her students' spirits up
25. Through this hotline, callers can______.
A. get Clancy's life advice B. talk with Clancy's daughter
C. listen to the sound of kids' laughter D. hear the recordings of inspiring songs
26. What can we learn about Joy4all Hotline?
A. It enjoys an increasing popularity. B. It arouses people's concern for kids
C. It proves the importance of happiness. D. It changes people's opinions on hotlines.
【答案】24. D 25. C 26. A

C
Toward the end of my senior year in England, I watched my peers line up in front of the Career Services building. Waiting for their interviews for jobs, all seemed to be dressed the same — the men wearing navy jackets, the women dark dresses. I thought back to my first day on campus four years earlier when we all wore different colors and dreamed of different futures. It was as if our years of study, instead of enhancing our individualities and imaginations, had reduced them to sameness.
It was not a unique scene. All over the world, education supplies the economy with workers who will increase productivity. But this now threatens our very survival. If the entire world reaches the levels of consumption seen in high-income countries today, we’ll need multiple planet Earths to supply the resources.
The sustainable development goals call for turning education into a force for sustainability, but the opposite is often true: the ways we think about education undermine our ability to deal with the environmental crisis. As an education researcher, I see many children going through rote learning — Indian pupils repeating the sentences written by their teacher on the blackboard, a South African child yelled at by the teacher for failing to recite the text. Rote learning and discouraging individuality in children are still at the root of what it means to be educated across much of the world.
On the other hand, our focus on technological solutions to the environmental crisis is driving our approach to education. More students at British universities are studying science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) than ever before, including a 400 percent increase in enrollment in AI courses over the last 10 years. Compared to STEM, social sciences and humanities are often underfunded and seen as less important. But this approach is counterproductive because non-STEM subjects are crucial to develop our ability to reimagine the world.
We even put our hope in solving the environmental crisis on AI. We make good use of energy networks, track land use through satellite imagery and predict extreme weather. But AI, like our other technologies, can only treat the symptoms (症状) of the environmental crisis, not the causes. These lie in lack of sensitivity to our impact on the planet.
Unlike AI, children are naturally imaginative. Nurturing imagination means seeing inspiration in children’s imaginations. In an education system that celebrates imagination, arts and creativity are as important as math and science. The environmental crisis is not a crisis of technology or science, it is a crisis of imagination. If we let children be our guides, we might just be able to imagine our way to survival.
27. What is mainly talked about in the first three paragraphs?
A. The new resolution of survival problems. B. The negative effect of present education.
C. The adverse impact of over consumption. D. The constant threat to economic productivity.
28. What does the underlined word “undermine” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. Change. B. Resist. C. Recall. D. Weaken.
29. The author may agree that ______.
A. the application of AI needs to be limited B. emphasis should be laid on social sciences
C. creativity is dominated by children’s sciences D. technology is the cure for the environmental crisis
【答案】27. B 28. D 29. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章主要讲述了当前教育削弱了学生的想象力和创造力以及对于社会科学和人文学科的不重视所带来的负面影响，进而提出要重视培养学生的想象力和创造力。
【27题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段的“It was as if our years of study, instead of enhancing our individualities and imaginations, had reduced them to sameness.”（就好像我们多年的学习并没有增强我们的个性和想象力，而是将它们简化为一模一样。）和第二段的“All over the world, education supplies the economy with workers who will increase productivity. But this now threatens our very survival.”（在世界各地，教育为经济提供了可以提高生产力的工人。但这现在威胁到我们的生存。）以及第三段的“The sustainable development goals call for turning education into a force for sustainability, but the opposite is often true: the ways we think about education undermine our ability to deal with the environmental crisis.”（可持续发展目标要求将教育转变为可持续发展的力量，但事实往往恰恰相反：我们对教育的看法削弱了我们应对环境危机的能力。）可知，前三段讲了当前教育削弱了学生的想象力、威胁到了人类的生存和削弱了人类应对环境危机的能力，即前三段主要讲述了当前教育带来的负面影响。故选B项。
【28题详解】
词句猜测题。由上一题的分析可知，教育虽然为提高生产力起到了积极的作用，但是却威胁到了人们的生存，因此才会有可持续发展目标的提出。再根据第三段的“The sustainable development goals call for turning education into a force for sustainability, but the opposite is often true: the ways we think about education undermine our ability to deal with the environmental crisis.”（可持续发展目标要求将教育转变为可持续发展的力量，但事实往往恰恰相反：我们对教育的看法undermine我们应对环境危机的能力。）可知，现实是教育没能为可持续发展提供力量，却是相反的作用，即教育削弱了人类应对环境危机的能力，因此weaken可以解释划线词。故选D项。
【29题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段的“Unlike AI, children are naturally imaginative. Nurturing imagination means seeing inspiration in children's imaginations. In an education system that celebrates imagination, arts and creativity are as important as math and science. The environmental crisis is not a crisis of technology or science, it is a crisis of imagination. If we let children be our guides, we might just be able to imagine our way to survival.”（与人工智能不同，孩子们天生具有想象力。培养想象力意味着从孩子的想象力中看到灵感。在一个崇尚想象力的教育体系中，艺术和创造力与数学和科学一样重要。环境危机不是技术或科学的危机，而是想象力的危机。如果我们让孩子成为我们的向导，我们也许可以想象到我们的生存之道。）可知，作者赞同创造力源于儿童，儿童的创造力也许会带来解决危机的办法，即创造力被儿童科学所主导。故选C项。
第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分）
根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
People connect to their cultural or ethnic group through similar food patterns. People from different cultural backgrounds eat different foods. ____30____ These food preferences result in patterns of food choices within a cultural or regional group.
Regional food habits do exist, but they also change over time. ____31____ They may use their old recipes with new ingredients, or experiment with new recipes to match their own tastes. Because people and food are mobile, attempts to characterize a country or people by what they eat are often inaccurate.
In addition to impacting food choices, culture also plays a role in food-related etiquette (礼节). For example, the amount people eat and leave uneaten varies from culture to culture. Some people from Middle Eastern and Southeast Asian countries might leave a little bit of food on their plates in order to indicate that their hunger has been satisfied. ____32____ Similarly, a clean plate might signify either satisfaction with the meal or desire for more food.
____33____ Many families believe that mealtime is a good time to communicate and to “catch up” on the lives of family and friends. Among other families, talking during a meal is acceptable, but the topics are limited. In some Southeast Asian countries, it is considered polite to keep silent during a meal.
Even among people who share similar cultural backgrounds, eating patterns are not identical. Further, men eat differently from women. ____34____ However, in most parts of the world, food is associated with expression of friendship. Therefore, sensitivity to food customs is important in cross-cultural communication.
A. People of different age groups eat differently.
B. As people immigrate; food preferences are exported.
C. Food items themselves have meaning attached to them.
D. The areas in which families live influence food likes and dislikes.
E. One of the reasons is that food itself is brought to other countries.
F. Besides, the role of conversation during mealtime varies from place to place.
G. However, cooks from other locations might be displeased if food is left on the plate.
【答案】30. D 31. B 32. G 33. F 34. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了在不同的文化中饮食模式不同的原因。
【30题详解】
根据“People from different cultural backgrounds eat different foods. (不同文化背景的人吃不同的食物)”以及“These food preferences result in patterns of food choices within a cultural or regional group.(这些食物偏好导致了文化或区域群体内的食物选择模式)”可知，不同文化背景的人吃不同的食物，而家庭所居住的局域也会对食物的偏好有所影响。由此可知，D项“家庭居住的地区影响食物的好恶”符合语境，和前一句话共同解释了造成饮食偏好的原因。故选D。
【31题详解】
根据“They may use their old recipes with new ingredients, or experiment with new recipes to match their own tastes. Because people and food are mobile, attempts to characterize a country or people by what they eat are often inaccurate.(他们可能会用他们的老食谱搭配新的配料，或者尝试新的食谱来满足自己的口味。因为人和食物是流动的，所以试图通过吃什么来描述一个国家或一个人往往是不准确的)”可知，因为人口和食物都是流动的，所以人们吃的食物也会因为人口和食物的流动而改变。由此可知，B项“随着人们的移民，食物偏好被输出”符合语境。B项中的 immigrate和下文中“people and food are mobile”相呼应。故选B。
【32题详解】
根据“In addition to impacting food choices, culture also plays a role in food-related etiquette (礼节).( 除了影响食物选择外，文化也在与食物相关的礼仪中发挥作用)”以及“Some people from Middle Eastern and Southeast Asian countries might leave a little bit of food on their plates in order to indicate that their hunger has been satisfied.( 一些来自中东和东南亚国家的人可能会在盘子里留下一点食物，以表明他们的饥饿得到了满足)”可知，文化的不同也在与食物相关的礼仪中发挥作用，而且文中举了几个不同的饮食习俗。由此可知，G项“然而，如果食物留在盘子里，其他地方的厨师可能会不高兴”符合语境。G项中的however和前文形成转折关系，而且也是在举例说明不同的饮食习俗。故选G。
【33题详解】
根据“Many families believe that mealtime is a good time to communicate and to “catch up” on the lives of family and friends. (许多家庭认为，进餐时间是沟通和“赶上”家人和朋友生活的好时机)”可知，本段主要讲述进餐时间是和家人沟通的好时机。由此可知，F项“此外，在进餐时间交谈的作用因地而异”符合语境。F项中的conversation和下文中的communicate相呼应。故选F。
【34题详解】
根据“Even among people who share similar cultural backgrounds, eating patterns are not identical. Further, men eat differently from women.( 即使在文化背景相似的人群中，饮食模式也不尽相同。此外，男性的饮食与女性不同)”可知，本段主要讲述即使在文化相同的人群中，饮食习惯也会不同。由此可知，A项“不同年龄段的人吃得不同”符合语境。和前一句话共同构成了“即使在文化相同的人群中，饮食习惯也会不同”的两个方面。故选A。

阅读下面短文，根据题目要求回答问题。
Do you think you’re a good listener? Chances are you do. But studies show that most people seriously overestimate their ability to listen. The truth is we are generally not good at listening, and our listening comprehension declines as we age.
Why aren’t we good at listening? One reason concerns the speed at which we think. The adult brain can process up to around 400 words per minute. This means during a conversation an average person thinks more than three times faster than he speaks. Therefore, we can easily think about something else while someone is talking to us, allowing our mind to wander or get sidetracked. Thinking about how you will reply while someone is still talking is one of the most common barriers to effective listening.
Another factor that contributes to our poor listening is our ever-decreasing attention span (持续时间). According to study conducted by Microsoft, in 2000—around the time the mobile revolution began—the average human attention span was 12 seconds; by 2013, it had fallen to 8 seconds! Our mobile devices provide constant distractions, which can be very destructive to listening. Test results have shown that being interrupted by a cell phone lowers listening comprehension by 20 percent.
Interruptions and distractions can cause a dramatic decline in listening ability—but they don’t have to. More and more people now realize that listening is a skill that can be developed through practice. Learning to observe a speaker’s body language and emotions, for example, can improve our active listening. Even the simple act of note-taking or making eye contact can help us stay focused while listening.
The rewards of effective listening are many. Research suggests that people who are good listeners make better leaders. And a recent study indicates that employees who don’t believe their bosses are listening to them are less likely to offer helpful suggestions and new ideas. As Dr. Ralph Nichols once said, “The most basic of all human needs is the need to understand and be understood. The best way to understand people is to listen to them.”
35. According to Paragraph 2, why is it easy for us to get distracted during a conversation?
36. What has caused the decrease of our attention span?
37. Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why.
The decline of listening ability caused by distractions is sharp, and it is hard to be prevented.
38. Please introduce the rewards that effective listening brings to you.
【答案】35 Because during a conversation an average person thinks more than three times faster than he speaks and he may think about how to reply.
36 Our mobile devices
37. The decline of listening ability caused by distractions is sharp, and it is hard to be prevented.
Because More and more people now realize that listening is a skill that can be developed through practice.
38. 参考答案:First of all, good listeners make better leaders.Secondly,listening more allows us to understand others’views, take their strengths and understand their logical thinking. In addition, being a listener is good for us to deal with individual problems and improve our personal qualities!
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述我们通常不擅长倾听，随着年龄的增长，我们的倾听理解能力会下降，并分析我们不擅长倾听的原因。
【35题详解】
考查细节理解。由文章第二段“One reason concerns the speed at which we think. The adult brain can process up to around 400 words per minute. This means during a conversation an average person thinks more than three times faster than he speaks. Therefore, we can easily think about something else while someone is talking to us, allowing our mind to wander or get sidetracked.(一个原因与我们思考的速度有关。成年人的大脑每分钟可以处理大约400个单词。这意味着在谈话中，一个普通人的思考速度是他说话速度的三倍以上。因此，当有人和我们说话时，我们可以很容易地想到其他事情，让我们的思想四处游荡或偏离方向。)”和“Thinking about how you will reply while someone is still talking is one of the most common barriers to effective listening.(当别人还在说话时思考你会如何回答是有效倾听最常见的障碍之一。)”可知，是因为我们思考的速度比我们说话的速度快很多和思考你会如何回答，导致我们会分心。故答案为Because during a conversation an average person thinks more than three times faster than he speaks and he may think about how to reply.
【36题详解】
考查细节理解。由文章第三段“According to study conducted by Microsoft, in 2000—around the time the mobile revolution began—the average human attention span was 12 seconds; by 2013, it had fallen to 8 seconds! Our mobile devices provide constant distractions, which can be very destructive to listening. (根据微软的研究，2000年移动革命开始前后，人类的平均注意力跨度为12秒；到2013年，它已经下降到8秒！我们的移动设备会不断分散注意力，这会对听力造成很大破坏。)”可知，我们的移动设备会让我们降低注意力时长。故答案为Our mobile devices.
【37题详解】
考查推理判断。由文章倒数第二段“Interruptions and distractions can cause a dramatic decline in listening ability—but they don't have to. More and more people now realize that listening is a skill that can be developed through practice. Learning to observe a speaker’s body language and emotions, for example, can improve our active listening. Even the simple act of note-taking or making eye contact can help us stay focused while listening.(干扰和分心可能会导致听力能力急剧下降，但并非必须如此。越来越多的人现在意识到倾听是一种可以通过练习来改善的技能。例如，学习观察说话者的肢体语言和情绪可以提高我们的积极听力。即使是简单的记笔记或眼神交流也能帮助我们在听的时候保持专注。)”可知，听力能力下降是可以防范的，我们可以练习来改善听力技能。因此原句中的“ it is hard to be prevented.”是错误的，故答案为The decline of listening ability caused by distractions is sharp, and it is hard to be prevented.Because More and more people now realize that listening is a skill that can be developed through practice.
【38题详解】
开放题。根据最后一段“The rewards of effective listening are many. Research suggests that people who are good listeners make better leaders. (有效倾听的回报是多方面的。研究表明，善于倾听的人会成为更好的领导者。)”,同时开放性题目考生言之有理即可。参考答案为：First of all, good listeners make better leaders.Secondly,listening more allows us to understand others’views, take their strengths and understand their logical thinking. In addition, being a listener is good for us to deal with individual problems and improve our personal qualities!
四、翻译句子（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分）
请使用括号中所给的单词或词组的适当形式将下面的句子翻译成英文，并将答案书写在答题卡相应的位置。
39. 此活动的目的是表达友善。（convey）(汉译英)
【答案】The purpose of this activity is to convey friendliness.
【解析】
【详解】考查动词。此活动的目的可以翻译为“the purpose of this activity”，在句中作主语；表达用动词“convey”，友善用名词“friendliness”。本句话为主系表结构，时态为一般现在时态，动词不定式作表语，表示目的。故翻译为The purpose of this activity is to convey friendliness.
40. 有必要下定决心去实现你的梦想。（make up one’s mind）(汉译英)
【答案】It is necessary to make up your mind to realize your dream.
【解析】
【详解】考查短语、时态和非谓语动词。it is necessary to do sth.做某事是有必要的，句中it作形式主语，真正的主语为不定式。make up one’s mind to do sth.下定决心做某事；realize one’s dream实现某人的梦想。陈述客观事实，用一般现在时。根据句意，故翻译为It is necessary to make up your mind to realize your dream.
41. 不管有任何困难，我们都要完成这项任务。（regardless of）(汉译英)
【答案】Regardless of any difficulty, we must complete the task.
【解析】
【详解】考查固定短语和情态动词。“不管”使用固定短语regardless of，“任何”使用any，“困难”使用名词difficulty，“都要”使用情态动词must，后接动词原形，“完成”使用动词complete，“任务”使用名词task，故翻译为：Regardless of any difficulty, we must complete the task.。
42. 看到有人窒息，Kathy保持冷静并迅速作出了反应。（choke）(汉译英)
【答案】Seeing someone choking, Kathy remained calm and responded quickly.
【解析】
【详解】考查现在分词作状语、系表结构和一般过去时。“看到有人在做某事”可以使用“see someone doing”的结构，则“看到有人窒息”翻译为：see someone choking，将该部分作为状语来使用，句子主语Kathy与see之间为主动关系，因此使用现在分词作状语；“保持冷静”使用系表结构可以翻译为：remain calm；“迅速作出了反应”翻译为 respond quickly；该句子描述的事情发生在过去，句子的谓语动词remain和respond使用一般过去时。故“看到有人窒息，Kathy保持冷静并迅速作出了反应。”翻译为：Seeing someone choking, Kathy remained calm and responded quickly.
43. Tom跟我说他代表学校做了一个关于全球气候变暖的演讲。（on behalf of）(汉译英)
【答案】Tom told me that he had made a speech on global warming on behalf of the school.
【解析】
【详解】考查时态和宾语从句。根据句意可知，本句话应用一般过去时，表示“Tom跟我说”应用短语Tom told me that+宾语从句，宾语从句结构完整，不缺任何意义，用that引导；“做演讲（make a speech）”发生在“告诉”之前，用过去完成时，表示“他做了一个关于全球气候变暖的演讲”应用句子 he had made a speech on global warming，在本句中作宾语从句；表示“代表学校”应用介词短语on behalf of the school。故翻译为Tom told me that he had made a speech on global warming on behalf of the school。

If you need an inspiring talk from a kindergartner, there's a hotline for that. This free hotline is called "Joy4all Hotline". If you call the phone number, you'll hear recordings of kids sharing words of encouragement.
The Joy4all Hotline is a school project created at an elementary school in California. It's run by an art teacher Maggie Clancy. Clancy started the hotline because she was concerned about the stressful things that her students had gone through. She aims to bring some joy back into the lives of her students, who range in age from 5 to 12.
To create the hotline, Clancy recorded her students. She instructed the kids to say something that had helped them during a difficult time. The hotline project also included the creation of posters. These posters displayed motivational phrases and were placed around town. The idea is to spread joy in the community.
When callers dial 707-968-8510, they are greeted by Clancy's daughter. The 11-year-old welcomes them with the following menu:
“If you're feeling mad, frustrated or nervous, press 1. If you need words of encouragement and life advice, press 2. If you need an inspiring talk from kindergartners, press3. If you need to hear kids laughing with delight, press 4, and for encouragement is Spanish, press 5.”
When the project first started, Clancy hoped the hotline would receive 100 calls an hour. But within two days the hotline was getting over 500 calls an hour. Now, it is people with conquering anxiety and give people hope that will be good stuff happening more in the world. The project's success proves how much the world currently needs this kind of positive messaging.
“I think people are just looking for ways to feel connected,”Clancy said. “I think this hotline does that in a very pure, sweet way.”
24. Why did Clancy start the hotline?
A To spread joyful news reports. B. To support home schooling
C To introduce encouraging posters D. To lift her students' spirits up
25. Through this hotline, callers can______.
A. get Clancy's life advice B. talk with Clancy's daughter
C. listen to the sound of kids' laughter D. hear the recordings of inspiring songs
26. What can we learn about Joy4all Hotline?
A. It enjoys an increasing popularity. B. It arouses people's concern for kids
C. It proves the importance of happiness. D. It changes people's opinions on hotlines.

C
Toward the end of my senior year in England, I watched my peers line up in front of the Career Services building. Waiting for their interviews for jobs, all seemed to be dressed the same — the men wearing navy jackets, the women dark dresses. I thought back to my first day on campus four years earlier when we all wore different colors and dreamed of different futures. It was as if our years of study, instead of enhancing our individualities and imaginations, had reduced them to sameness.
It was not a unique scene. All over the world, education supplies the economy with workers who will increase productivity. But this now threatens our very survival. If the entire world reaches the levels of consumption seen in high-income countries today, we’ll need multiple planet Earths to supply the resources.
The sustainable development goals call for turning education into a force for sustainability, but the opposite is often true: the ways we think about education undermine our ability to deal with the environmental crisis. As an education researcher, I see many children going through rote learning — Indian pupils repeating the sentences written by their teacher on the blackboard, a South African child yelled at by the teacher for failing to recite the text. Rote learning and discouraging individuality in children are still at the root of what it means to be educated across much of the world.
On the other hand, our focus on technological solutions to the environmental crisis is driving our approach to education. More students at British universities are studying science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) than ever before, including a 400 percent increase in enrollment in AI courses over the last 10 years. Compared to STEM, social sciences and humanities are often underfunded and seen as less important. But this approach is counterproductive because non-STEM subjects are crucial to develop our ability to reimagine the world.
We even put our hope in solving the environmental crisis on AI. We make good use of energy networks, track land use through satellite imagery and predict extreme weather. But AI, like our other technologies, can only treat the symptoms (症状) of the environmental crisis, not the causes. These lie in lack of sensitivity to our impact on the planet.
Unlike AI, children are naturally imaginative. Nurturing imagination means seeing inspiration in children’s imaginations. In an education system that celebrates imagination, arts and creativity are as important as math and science. The environmental crisis is not a crisis of technology or science, it is a crisis of imagination. If we let children be our guides, we might just be able to imagine our way to survival.
27. What is mainly talked about in the first three paragraphs?
A. The new resolution of survival problems. B. The negative effect of present education.
C. The adverse impact of over consumption. D. The constant threat to economic productivity.
28. What does the underlined word “undermine” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. Change. B. Resist. C. Recall. D. Weaken.
29. The author may agree that ______.
A. the application of AI needs to be limited B. emphasis should be laid on social sciences
C. creativity is dominated by children’s sciences D. technology is the cure for the environmental crisis
【答案】27. B 28. D 29. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章主要讲述了当前教育削弱了学生的想象力和创造力以及对于社会科学和人文学科的不重视所带来的负面影响，进而提出要重视培养学生的想象力和创造力。
【27题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段的“It was as if our years of study, instead of enhancing our individualities and imaginations, had reduced them to sameness.”（就好像我们多年的学习并没有增强我们的个性和想象力，而是将它们简化为一模一样。）和第二段的“All over the world, education supplies the economy with workers who will increase productivity. But this now threatens our very survival.”（在世界各地，教育为经济提供了可以提高生产力的工人。但这现在威胁到我们的生存。）以及第三段的“The sustainable development goals call for turning education into a force for sustainability, but the opposite is often true: the ways we think about education undermine our ability to deal with the environmental crisis.”（可持续发展目标要求将教育转变为可持续发展的力量，但事实往往恰恰相反：我们对教育的看法削弱了我们应对环境危机的能力。）可知，前三段讲了当前教育削弱了学生的想象力、威胁到了人类的生存和削弱了人类应对环境危机的能力，即前三段主要讲述了当前教育带来的负面影响。故选B项。
【28题详解】
词句猜测题。由上一题的分析可知，教育虽然为提高生产力起到了积极的作用，但是却威胁到了人们的生存，因此才会有可持续发展目标的提出。再根据第三段的“The sustainable development goals call for turning education into a force for sustainability, but the opposite is often true: the ways we think about education undermine our ability to deal with the environmental crisis.”（可持续发展目标要求将教育转变为可持续发展的力量，但事实往往恰恰相反：我们对教育的看法undermine我们应对环境危机的能力。）可知，现实是教育没能为可持续发展提供力量，却是相反的作用，即教育削弱了人类应对环境危机的能力，因此weaken可以解释划线词。故选D项。
【29题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段的“Unlike AI, children are naturally imaginative. Nurturing imagination means seeing inspiration in children's imaginations. In an education system that celebrates imagination, arts and creativity are as important as math and science. The environmental crisis is not a crisis of technology or science, it is a crisis of imagination. If we let children be our guides, we might just be able to imagine our way to survival.”（与人工智能不同，孩子们天生具有想象力。培养想象力意味着从孩子的想象力中看到灵感。在一个崇尚想象力的教育体系中，艺术和创造力与数学和科学一样重要。环境危机不是技术或科学的危机，而是想象力的危机。如果我们让孩子成为我们的向导，我们也许可以想象到我们的生存之道。）可知，作者赞同创造力源于儿童，儿童的创造力也许会带来解决危机的办法，即创造力被儿童科学所主导。故选C项。
第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分）
根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
People connect to their cultural or ethnic group through similar food patterns. People from different cultural backgrounds eat different foods. ____30____ These food preferences result in patterns of food choices within a cultural or regional group.
Regional food habits do exist, but they also change over time. ____31____ They may use their old recipes with new ingredients, or experiment with new recipes to match their own tastes. Because people and food are mobile, attempts to characterize a country or people by what they eat are often inaccurate.
In addition to impacting food choices, culture also plays a role in food-related etiquette (礼节). For example, the amount people eat and leave uneaten varies from culture to culture. Some people from Middle Eastern and Southeast Asian countries might leave a little bit of food on their plates in order to indicate that their hunger has been satisfied. ____32____ Similarly, a clean plate might signify either satisfaction with the meal or desire for more food.
____33____ Many families believe that mealtime is a good time to communicate and to “catch up” on the lives of family and friends. Among other families, talking during a meal is acceptable, but the topics are limited. In some Southeast Asian countries, it is considered polite to keep silent during a meal.
Even among people who share similar cultural backgrounds, eating patterns are not identical. Further, men eat differently from women. ____34____ However, in most parts of the world, food is associated with expression of friendship. Therefore, sensitivity to food customs is important in cross-cultural communication.
A. People of different age groups eat differently.
B. As people immigrate; food preferences are exported.
C. Food items themselves have meaning attached to them.
D. The areas in which families live influence food likes and dislikes.
E. One of the reasons is that food itself is brought to other countries.
F. Besides, the role of conversation during mealtime varies from place to place.
G. However, cooks from other locations might be displeased if food is left on the plate.
【答案】30. D 31. B 32. G 33. F 34. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了在不同的文化中饮食模式不同的原因。
【30题详解】
根据“People from different cultural backgrounds eat different foods. (不同文化背景的人吃不同的食物)”以及“These food preferences result in patterns of food choices within a cultural or regional group.(这些食物偏好导致了文化或区域群体内的食物选择模式)”可知，不同文化背景的人吃不同的食物，而家庭所居住的局域也会对食物的偏好有所影响。由此可知，D项“家庭居住的地区影响食物的好恶”符合语境，和前一句话共同解释了造成饮食偏好的原因。故选D。
【31题详解】
根据“They may use their old recipes with new ingredients, or experiment with new recipes to match their own tastes. Because people and food are mobile, attempts to characterize a country or people by what they eat are often inaccurate.(他们可能会用他们的老食谱搭配新的配料，或者尝试新的食谱来满足自己的口味。因为人和食物是流动的，所以试图通过吃什么来描述一个国家或一个人往往是不准确的)”可知，因为人口和食物都是流动的，所以人们吃的食物也会因为人口和食物的流动而改变。由此可知，B项“随着人们的移民，食物偏好被输出”符合语境。B项中的 immigrate和下文中“people and food are mobile”相呼应。故选B。
【32题详解】
根据“In addition to impacting food choices, culture also plays a role in food-related etiquette (礼节).( 除了影响食物选择外，文化也在与食物相关的礼仪中发挥作用)”以及“Some people from Middle Eastern and Southeast Asian countries might leave a little bit of food on their plates in order to indicate that their hunger has been satisfied.( 一些来自中东和东南亚国家的人可能会在盘子里留下一点食物，以表明他们的饥饿得到了满足)”可知，文化的不同也在与食物相关的礼仪中发挥作用，而且文中举了几个不同的饮食习俗。由此可知，G项“然而，如果食物留在盘子里，其他地方的厨师可能会不高兴”符合语境。G项中的however和前文形成转折关系，而且也是在举例说明不同的饮食习俗。故选G。
【33题详解】
根据“Many families believe that mealtime is a good time to communicate and to “catch up” on the lives of family and friends. (许多家庭认为，进餐时间是沟通和“赶上”家人和朋友生活的好时机)”可知，本段主要讲述进餐时间是和家人沟通的好时机。由此可知，F项“此外，在进餐时间交谈的作用因地而异”符合语境。F项中的conversation和下文中的communicate相呼应。故选F。
【34题详解】
根据“Even among people who share similar cultural backgrounds, eating patterns are not identical. Further, men eat differently from women.( 即使在文化背景相似的人群中，饮食模式也不尽相同。此外，男性的饮食与女性不同)”可知，本段主要讲述即使在文化相同的人群中，饮食习惯也会不同。由此可知，A项“不同年龄段的人吃得不同”符合语境。和前一句话共同构成了“即使在文化相同的人群中，饮食习惯也会不同”的两个方面。故选A。
阅读下面短文并回答问题。请将答案书写在答题卡相应位置。
阅读下面短文，根据题目要求回答问题。
Do you think you’re a good listener? Chances are you do. But studies show that most people seriously overestimate their ability to listen. The truth is we are generally not good at listening, and our listening comprehension declines as we age.
Why aren’t we good at listening? One reason concerns the speed at which we think. The adult brain can process up to around 400 words per minute. This means during a conversation an average person thinks more than three times faster than he speaks. Therefore, we can easily think about something else while someone is talking to us, allowing our mind to wander or get sidetracked. Thinking about how you will reply while someone is still talking is one of the most common barriers to effective listening.
Another factor that contributes to our poor listening is our ever-decreasing attention span (持续时间). According to study conducted by Microsoft, in 2000—around the time the mobile revolution began—the average human attention span was 12 seconds; by 2013, it had fallen to 8 seconds! Our mobile devices provide constant distractions, which can be very destructive to listening. Test results have shown that being interrupted by a cell phone lowers listening comprehension by 20 percent.
Interruptions and distractions can cause a dramatic decline in listening ability—but they don’t have to. More and more people now realize that listening is a skill that can be developed through practice. Learning to observe a speaker’s body language and emotions, for example, can improve our active listening. Even the simple act of note-taking or making eye contact can help us stay focused while listening.
The rewards of effective listening are many. Research suggests that people who are good listeners make better leaders. And a recent study indicates that employees who don’t believe their bosses are listening to them are less likely to offer helpful suggestions and new ideas. As Dr. Ralph Nichols once said, “The most basic of all human needs is the need to understand and be understood. The best way to understand people is to listen to them.”
35. According to Paragraph 2, why is it easy for us to get distracted during a conversation?
36. What has caused the decrease of our attention span?
37. Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why.
The decline of listening ability caused by distractions is sharp, and it is hard to be prevented.
38. Please introduce the rewards that effective listening brings to you.
【答案】35 Because during a conversation an average person thinks more than three times faster than he speaks and he may think about how to reply.
36 Our mobile devices
37. The decline of listening ability caused by distractions is sharp, and it is hard to be prevented.
Because More and more people now realize that listening is a skill that can be developed through practice.
38. 参考答案:First of all, good listeners make better leaders.Secondly,listening more allows us to understand others’views, take their strengths and understand their logical thinking. In addition, being a listener is good for us to deal with individual problems and improve our personal qualities!
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述我们通常不擅长倾听，随着年龄的增长，我们的倾听理解能力会下降，并分析我们不擅长倾听的原因。
【35题详解】
考查细节理解。由文章第二段“One reason concerns the speed at which we think. The adult brain can process up to around 400 words per minute. This means during a conversation an average person thinks more than three times faster than he speaks. Therefore, we can easily think about something else while someone is talking to us, allowing our mind to wander or get sidetracked.(一个原因与我们思考的速度有关。成年人的大脑每分钟可以处理大约400个单词。这意味着在谈话中，一个普通人的思考速度是他说话速度的三倍以上。因此，当有人和我们说话时，我们可以很容易地想到其他事情，让我们的思想四处游荡或偏离方向。)”和“Thinking about how you will reply while someone is still talking is one of the most common barriers to effective listening.(当别人还在说话时思考你会如何回答是有效倾听最常见的障碍之一。)”可知，是因为我们思考的速度比我们说话的速度快很多和思考你会如何回答，导致我们会分心。故答案为Because during a conversation an average person thinks more than three times faster than he speaks and he may think about how to reply.
【36题详解】
考查细节理解。由文章第三段“According to study conducted by Microsoft, in 2000—around the time the mobile revolution began—the average human attention span was 12 seconds; by 2013, it had fallen to 8 seconds! Our mobile devices provide constant distractions, which can be very destructive to listening. (根据微软的研究，2000年移动革命开始前后，人类的平均注意力跨度为12秒；到2013年，它已经下降到8秒！我们的移动设备会不断分散注意力，这会对听力造成很大破坏。)”可知，我们的移动设备会让我们降低注意力时长。故答案为Our mobile devices.
【37题详解】
考查推理判断。由文章倒数第二段“Interruptions and distractions can cause a dramatic decline in listening ability—but they don't have to. More and more people now realize that listening is a skill that can be developed through practice. Learning to observe a speaker’s body language and emotions, for example, can improve our active listening. Even the simple act of note-taking or making eye contact can help us stay focused while listening.(干扰和分心可能会导致听力能力急剧下降，但并非必须如此。越来越多的人现在意识到倾听是一种可以通过练习来改善的技能。例如，学习观察说话者的肢体语言和情绪可以提高我们的积极听力。即使是简单的记笔记或眼神交流也能帮助我们在听的时候保持专注。)”可知，听力能力下降是可以防范的，我们可以练习来改善听力技能。因此原句中的“ it is hard to be prevented.”是错误的，故答案为The decline of listening ability caused by distractions is sharp, and it is hard to be prevented.Because More and more people now realize that listening is a skill that can be developed through practice.
【38题详解】
开放题。根据最后一段“The rewards of effective listening are many. Research suggests that people who are good listeners make better leaders. (有效倾听的回报是多方面的。研究表明，善于倾听的人会成为更好的领导者。)”,同时开放性题目考生言之有理即可。参考答案为：First of all, good listeners make better leaders.Secondly,listening more allows us to understand others’views, take their strengths and understand their logical thinking. In addition, being a listener is good for us to deal with individual problems and improve our personal qualities!
四、翻译句子（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分）
请使用括号中所给的单词或词组的适当形式将下面的句子翻译成英文，并将答案书写在答题卡相应的位置。
39. 此活动的目的是表达友善。（convey）(汉译英)
【答案】The purpose of this activity is to convey friendliness.
【解析】
【详解】考查动词。此活动的目的可以翻译为“the purpose of this activity”，在句中作主语；表达用动词“convey”，友善用名词“friendliness”。本句话为主系表结构，时态为一般现在时态，动词不定式作表语，表示目的。故翻译为The purpose of this activity is to convey friendliness.
40. 有必要下定决心去实现你的梦想。（make up one’s mind）(汉译英)
【答案】It is necessary to make up your mind to realize your dream.
【解析】
【详解】考查短语、时态和非谓语动词。it is necessary to do sth.做某事是有必要的，句中it作形式主语，真正的主语为不定式。make up one’s mind to do sth.下定决心做某事；realize one’s dream实现某人的梦想。陈述客观事实，用一般现在时。根据句意，故翻译为It is necessary to make up your mind to realize your dream.
41. 不管有任何困难，我们都要完成这项任务。（regardless of）(汉译英)
【答案】Regardless of any difficulty, we must complete the task.
【解析】
【详解】考查固定短语和情态动词。“不管”使用固定短语regardless of，“任何”使用any，“困难”使用名词difficulty，“都要”使用情态动词must，后接动词原形，“完成”使用动词complete，“任务”使用名词task，故翻译为：Regardless of any difficulty, we must complete the task.。
42. 看到有人窒息，Kathy保持冷静并迅速作出了反应。（choke）(汉译英)
【答案】Seeing someone choking, Kathy remained calm and responded quickly.
【解析】
【详解】考查现在分词作状语、系表结构和一般过去时。“看到有人在做某事”可以使用“see someone doing”的结构，则“看到有人窒息”翻译为：see someone choking，将该部分作为状语来使用，句子主语Kathy与see之间为主动关系，因此使用现在分词作状语；“保持冷静”使用系表结构可以翻译为：remain calm；“迅速作出了反应”翻译为 respond quickly；该句子描述的事情发生在过去，句子的谓语动词remain和respond使用一般过去时。故“看到有人窒息，Kathy保持冷静并迅速作出了反应。”翻译为：Seeing someone choking, Kathy remained calm and responded quickly.
43. Tom跟我说他代表学校做了一个关于全球气候变暖的演讲。（on behalf of）(汉译英)
【答案】Tom told me that he had made a speech on global warming on behalf of the school.
【解析】
【详解】考查时态和宾语从句。根据句意可知，本句话应用一般过去时，表示“Tom跟我说”应用短语Tom told me that+宾语从句，宾语从句结构完整，不缺任何意义，用that引导；“做演讲（make a speech）”发生在“告诉”之前，用过去完成时，表示“他做了一个关于全球气候变暖的演讲”应用句子 he had made a speech on global warming，在本句中作宾语从句；表示“代表学校”应用介词短语on behalf of the school。故翻译为Tom told me that he had made a speech on global warming on behalf of the school。
