One of the most significant changes has been the shift to remote work, which has become a permanent fixture in many industries. This shift has brought both challenges and opportunities. Here is a look at how remote work is transforming the modern workplace.Paragraph 1:Remote work allows employees to enjoy a better work-life balance. With the flexibility to work from home, employees can reduce their commuting time and save on transportation costs. Additionally, working from home can provide a more comfortable and personalized work environment, which can lead to increased productivity.Paragraph 2:However, remote work also poses several challenges. One of the main concerns is the potential for decreased communication and collaboration among team members. Without face-to-face interactions, it can be more difficult to build trust and maintain a strong team dynamic. Moreover, remote workers may struggle with maintaining a consistent work schedule and managing distractions at home.Paragraph 3:To mitigate these challenges, companies are implementing various strategies.Some organizations are investing in video conferencing tools to facilitate regular team meetings and ensure that everyone stays connected. Others are providing training and support to help employees develop effective remote work habits. Additionally, many companies are reevaluating their performance metrics to focus more on outcomes rather than the number of hours worked.Paragraph 4:The rise of remote work has also led to a shift in the traditional office space. Many companies are downsizing their office spaces or even closing them altogether, as they realize that employees can be just as productive from home. This shift has resulted in significant cost savings for businesses and has also reduced the carbon footprint associated with commuting.Questions:1、What is one of the benefits of remote work mentioned in the passage?A. Increased communication among team members.B. Reduced commuting time and transportation costs.C. Higher productivity due to a more comfortable work environment.D. Improved team dynamics through face-to-face interactions.2、According to the passage, what is a challenge that remote workers may face?A. Having access to advanced video conferencing tools.B. Maintaining a consistent work schedule.C. Building trust and collaboration among team members.D. Reducing the carbon footprint associated with commuting.3、How are companies addressing the challenges of remote work?A. By downsizing office spaces and closing them.B. By providing training and support to develop effective work habits.C. By focusing on outcomes rather than the number of hours worked.D. By investing in video conferencing tools and regular team meetings.4、What is the main impact of the rise of remote work on traditional office spaces?A. Increased carbon footprint due to more commuting.B. Higher transportation costs for employees.C. Significant cost savings for businesses.D. Improved communication and collaboration among team members.Answers:1、B2、C3、B4、CSecond QuestionReading Section 1Passage:In the small coastal town of Oceanview, the local community has always been close-knit.

He had always been fascinated by history and was excited to explore the new exhibit on ancient civilizations. As he walked through the museum, he encountered a series of interactive displays that allowed visitors to learn about different aspects of ancient life. One particular exhibit caught his attention: a reconstructed marketplace from the Roman Empire.The marketplace was bustling with activity, and Alex could almost imagine the sounds and smells of the past. Merchants displayed their goods, from fresh produce to exotic spices, while customers haggled over prices. A sign near the entrance read, “Try Your Hand at Being a Roman Merchant!” Curious, Alex approached a table where a museum volunteer was waiting.The volunteer handed Alex a small, leather pouch containing various goods, including olive oil, wine, and bread. “Here, you have 100 denarii to start with,” the volunteer explained. “Your goal is to buy as much as you can with your money and then sell it at a profit to make a profit of at least 50 denarii.”Alex quickly began to make purchases, choosing items that he thought wouldbe in high demand. He bought several loaves of bread, a jar of olive oil, and a few bunches of grapes. As he walked around the marketplace, he noticed that other visitors were also trying their hand at being merchants.After a few minutes, Alex decided to sell his goods. He set up a small stall and began to call out to potential customers. “Fresh bread, the best olive oil, and delicious grap es!” he shouted. The other merchants around him were also trying to attract customers, and the marketplace became a lively scene.After some time, Alex managed to sell all his goods and even made a profit of 60 denarii. He was quite pleased with his success and decided to visit the other interactive exhibits in the museum. The experience had given him a new appreciation for the complexities of ancient trade and the skills of the merchants of the Roman Empire.Questions:1、What was Alex’s main reason for vis iting the local museum?A) To see the new exhibit on ancient civilizations.B) To learn about the museum’s history.C) To attend a special event.D) To meet the museum volunteers.2、How much money did Alex start with in the marketplace simulation?A) 50 denariiB) 100 denariiC) 200 denariiD) 500 denarii3、What was one of the items Alex bought to sell at a profit?A) Silk fabricsB) Olive oilC) PotteryD) Gold coins4、How much profit did Alex make from selling his goods?A) 20 denariiB) 30 denariiC) 40 denariiD) 60 denariiAnswers:1、A2、B3、B4、D四、阅读第二节（12.5分）Title: The Art of MeditationReading Passage:Meditation has been practiced for thousands of years, and it is still a popular form of relaxation and stress reduction today. The practice involvessitting quietly and focusing the mind on a single object, thought, or activity. It is believed that meditation can have numerous benefits, including improved concentration, reduced anxiety, and increased self-awareness.In recent years, scientific studies have begun to support these claims. A study published in the Journal of Psychosomatic Medicine found that regular meditation can lead to a significant reduction in stress levels. Another study, conducted by the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), showed that meditation can alter the brain’s structure, making it more adaptable to stress.One of the most common types of meditation is mindfulness meditation, which involves paying attention to the present moment without judgment. This form of meditation can help individuals become more aware of their thoughts and emotions, leading to better mental health.Below is a short excerpt from a mindfulness meditation session:“Close your eyes and take a deep breath in. Hold it for a moment. Now, exhale slowly. As you breathe, notice the sensation of the air entering and leaving your body. Feel the rise and fall of your chest. With each breath, let go of any tension you may be holding. Focus on the present moment, on the sounds around you, the feel of your clothing, the temperature of the air. Do not judge these experiences; simply observe them. Continue to breathe deeply and slowly, allowing yourself to become fully present in this moment.”Questions:1.What is the primary purpose of meditation according to the passage?A) To improve concentrationB) To reduce stressC) To increase self-awarenessD) To enhance physical strength2.Which of the following benefits of meditation is mentioned in the passage?A) Increased muscle massB) Reduced stress levelsC) Improved cardiovascular healthD) Enhanced immune system3.What is the main focus of mindfulness meditation?A) To control the mind’s thoughtsB) To become more aware of the present momentC) To visualize positive outcomesD) To practice deep breathing exercises4.According to the passage, how can meditation alter the brain’s structure?A) By increasing the size of the brainB) By making it more adaptable to stressC) By reducing the size of the prefrontal cortexD) By increasing the amount of gray matter5.What is the main activity described in the meditation excerpt?A) Mindfulness meditationB) Physical exerciseC) Breathing exercisesD) Guided imageryAnswers:1.B2.B3.B4.B5.A五、语言运用第一节 _ 完形填空（15分）Passage:After years of hard work, John finally graduated from university and secured a job as an engineer at a prestigious company.

This movement encourages individuals to take a break from the fast-paced world and focus on the present moment. By slowing down, people can appreciate the beauty of nature, enjoy simple pleasures, and build stronger relationships with family and friends.One of the main reasons for the rise of slow living is the increasing awareness of the negative impacts of a fast-paced lifestyle. Stress, burnout, and mental health issues are on the rise, and many people are looking for ways to reduce their stress levels and improve their well-being. Slow living offers a solution by promoting activities such as mindfulness, exercise, and spending time in nature.Moreover, slow living is not just about reducing our pace but also about consuming less and living more sustainably. It encourages us to buy local, support small businesses, and reduce our carbon footprint. This shift in mindset has a positive impact on the environment and helps create a more sustainable future.Many people have already embraced the slow living philosophy and have seen significant improvements in their lives. For example, Sarah, a 35-year-old lawyer, decided to leave her stressful job and start her own business. She now spends more time with her family, practices yoga, and takes long walks in thecountryside. “I’ve never felt so relaxed and happy,” she says.However, the transition to slow living can be challenging for some. It requires a co nscious effort to change habits and prioritize what’s truly important. But with determination and patience, anyone can adopt a slower, more fulfilling lifestyle.语法填空题目：61.In recent years, the concept of “slow living” has [] popularity among people seeking a more balanced and fulfilling life.A. gainedB. gained inC. gained fromD. gained on答案：B. gained in七、写作第一节 _ 应用文写作（15分）Writing Section 1: Application WritingTask:Write a letter to the editor of your school newspaper expressing your concerns about the recent increase in littering around the school campus.

Can they understand me? Learners of English often ask: What are the differences between British and American English? How important are these differences?Certainly, there are some differences between British and American English. There are a few differences in grammar. For example, speakers of British say “in hospital” and “Have you a pen？” Americans say “in the hospital” and “Do you have a pen？” Pronunciation is sometimes different. Americans usually sound the r's in words like “bird”and “hurt”. Some speakers of British English do not sound the r's in these words. There are differences between British and American English in spelling and vocabulary. For example, “colour”and “honour”are British. “color” and “honor” are American.These differences in grammar, pronunciation, spelling, and vocabulary are not important, however. For the most part, British and American English are the same language.56．What do students of English often want to know?A．Can I question the Americans?B．Can I talk with Americans?C．Can I make myself understood?D．Can I speak to Americans?57．The writer describes the differences between British and American English in ________ ways.A．two B．threeC．four D．five58．Who prefers saying “in the hospital”？A．AmericansB．EnglishmenC．Both Americans and EnglishmenD．Learners of English59．What is the main idea of this passage?A．Speakers of British and American English share the same language.B．There are many differences between British and American English.C．British and American English are two different languages.D．There are not many differences between British and American EnglishBEven a child knows that nodding(点头) the hea d means “Yes”. But some people will probably be puzzled when they first come to India. When they talk to an Indian, he often shakes his head. They might think that the Indian does not like what he said, but on the contrary（相反）he is expressing agreement.The Indians have a habit of shaking their heads slightly when they talk to somebody. It doesn’t mean “No”, but “Yes”.If a person doesn’t know this, it might cause misunderstanding.At one time a foreigner in India told his driver who was an Indian to take him to his office. The driver shook his head. The foreigner repeated his request and the driver shook his head again. At last, the foreigner shouted angrily, “Drive me to my office at once!” The driver said in a low voice, “Yes, sir,” smiling and shaking h is head again at the same time.60. Generally speaking, nodding the head means _______, and shaking the head means _______.A. Yes, NoB. No, YesC. Yes, YesD. No, No61. According to the habit of India, if someone agrees with you, he will _______.A. nod his headB. shake his headC. neither nods his head nor shakes his headD. either nod his head or shake his head62. Why did the Indian driver shake his head when the foreigner asked him to drive him to his office? Because _______.A. the Indian driver has something important to doB. the foreigner promised to give him only a little moneyC. The driver felt uncomfortable at that timeD. In India shaking the head means agreement63. Why did the foreigner become angry? Because _______.A. the Indian driver didn’t want to send him to his officeB. the Indian driver asked him for a lot of moneyC. He misunderstood the meaning of shaking the head in IndiaD. he asked the driver to send him to his office, but the driver didn’t say any wordsCPlants are very important living things. Life could not go on if there were no plants. This is because plants can make food from air,water and sunlight. Animals and man cannot make food from air,water and sunlight. Animals get their food by eating plants and other animals.Therefore animals and man need plants in order to live.This is why we find that there are so many plants around us.If you look carefully at the plants around you,you will find that there are two kinds of plants:flowering plants and non-flowering plants.Flowering plants can make seeds（种子）. The seeds are protected by the fruits. Some fruits have one seed, some have two, three or four, and some have many seeds. But a few fruits have no seeds at all. An example of a fruit without seeds is the banana fruit. Most non-flowering plants do not grow from seeds. They grow from spores（胚芽）. Spores are very small. Some spores are so small and light that they can float in the air. We may say that spores are quite the same as seeds. When these spores are all on wet and shady places, they usually grow into new plants.64. The main idea of the first paragraph is that ______.A. plants are important for lifeB. plants cannot grow without airC. there are many plants in the worldD. we can not live without water65. Plants can make food from______.A. flower, water and airB. water, sunlight and airC. air, water and soilD. air, sun and light66. What can we infer（推断）from the passage ？A. Of all living things animals are most importantB.Spores are seedsC. All fruits of flowering plants have seedsD.Without plants, man will die out67. This passage may be taken from______.A. a medicine bookB. a novelC. a science magazineD. an experiment reportDThe clock struck eleven at night. The whole house was quiet. Everyone was in bed except me. Under the strong light，I looked sadly before me at a huge pile of that _ troublesome stuff _（麻烦）they call “books”．I was going to have my examination the next day. “When can I go to bed？”I asked myself. I didn't answer, in fact I dared not.The clock struck twelve. “Oh, 高考资源网！”I cried. “Ten more books to read before I can go to bed！”We pupils are the most wretched(可怜的) creatures in the world. Dad does not agree with me on this. He did not have to work so hard when he was a boy.The clock struck one. I was quite desperate (绝望的) now. I forgot all I had learned. I was too tired to go on. I did the only thing I could. I prayed, “Oh, God, please help me pass the exam tomorrow. I do promise to work hard afterwards, Amen.” My eyes were so heavy that I could hardly open them. A few minutes later,with my head on the desk, I fell asleep.68．When the author was going over his lessons, all the others in the house were ________.A．asleep B．working in bedC．outside D．quietly laughing at him69．Reviewing his lessons didn't help him because ________.A．it was too late at nightB．he was very tiredC．his eyes lids were so heavy that he couldn't keep them openD．he hadn't studied hard before the examination70．What do you suppose happened to the author?A．He went to a church to pray again.B．He passed the exam by sheer luck.C．He failed in the exam.D．He was punished by his teacher.71．The best title for the passage would be ________.A．The Night Before the ExaminationB．Working Far into the NightC．A Slow StudentD．Going Over My LessonsEAmericans spend their holidays in different ways. Some of them like to travel abroad and get to know something about the foreign countries. For example, they may go to China and learn about its old traditions and habits. However, this kind of trip is not always pleasant. First, it is not so convenient and secondly the service they receive in foreign countries is not quite satisfactory（令人满意的）Some of Americans enjoy travelling within their own states, usually going to the seaside towns or cities during summer. They may stay there for one or two weeks and then come back home. This kind of trip is always cheaper and pleasant.Another group care for travelling very much. They just get on a plane in the morning and get off a ship in the evening. They like to go across the country, from north to south, and west to east.For the last group, they just want to stay at home and do their housework with the radio or television on. They say holiday is the time for rest, not for travelling.72．Some Americans like to travel abroad because ________.A．their own country has nothing interestingB．the outside world is very advancedC．they want to know something about the history of some countriesD．they have a lot of money and can not spend it all in their own country73．There is something that the foreigners are not very satisfied with when they travel outside. It is ________.A．the foodB．the habitC．the people they meetD．the service74．If an American wants to go abroad for his holiday, he probably goes to________ to learn about ancient culture.A．Egypt B．AustraliaC．Singapore D．Canada75．Some Americans don't like travelling in their holidays, because ________.A．they are lazyB．they don't have much moneyC．they like to rest at homeD．they like watching TV五.作文（总分35分）第一部分：填词（共10题，每题1分，共10分）第二部分：写作（25分）以“my best friend”为题，写一篇100词左右的短文。
