Among the oldest tools that human hands ever created are axes（斧子）, used to cut wood for fires
and buildings. Wood is truly the mother of sustainable resources, a material that will grow back again
and again. And now, wood is becoming the most sought-after design material. Sweden is starting an
ambitious new project called Stockholm Wood City that will demonstrate the greatness of wood, and the
possibilities it represents in sustainable building.
Soon, Stockholm, Sweden will be the home of the largest urban construction project to be built out of wood in
the entire world. In any material, this urban development would be impressive. In sustainable wood, it's an exampleof environmentally-friendly construction.
Stockholm Wood City will be completed in 2027, with construction beginning in 2025. The city will
encompass spaces for work and housing, along with restaurants and shops. More than 2,000 new homes and 7,000
office spaces will be added to the city when the project is complete. The design was created by Atrium Ljungberg.
"This is not only an important step for us as a company, but a historic milestone for Swedish innovation capability,"
said Annica Anas, Atrium Ljungberg CEO.
Wood City's design focuses on stored and shared, self-produced energy. The wooden buildings will have
spaces for green plants, a design that will create a garden-like atmosphere. Wood is sustainable and an obvious
benefit to the environment. It's also a better heat barrier than steel and concrete and can also absorb large amounts
of CO₂. Moreover, producing a ton of wood for building purposes generates far, far less emissions（排放）than
steel or concrete.
This huge new project is a complete urban development with spaces for living, working and shopping. It's an
example of how sustainable design can be used to create anything. It's a message that Sweden hopes will spread
around the world.
24. Why does the author mention axes in Paragraph 1?
A. To explain the role of axes in construction.
B. To compare old and modern building tools.
C. To highlight the long history of wood usage.
D. To introduce different uses of wood materials.
25. What does the underlined word "encompass" in Paragraph 3 most likely mean?
A. Replace. B. Include. C. Improve. D. Search.
26. What does Paragraph 4 mainly talk about?
A. Wood City's energy system.
B. Wood City's heat protection.
C. Wood City's positive impacts.
D. Wood City's building materials.
27. What can we learn about the project from the last paragraph?
A. Its development focuses on rural areas.
B. Its design shows sustainability's limits.
C. Its main goal is to make a profit nationally.
D. Its green concept will be promoted globally.

Simon Jenkins' A Short History of British Architecture is both an educational guide and a passionate analysis.
The book is divided into two distinct halves: the first 200 pages offer a time-ordered summary of British
architectural history, while the final 70 pages present a strong criticism of modernist urban planning.
In the first half, Jenkins introduces readers to the "language" of architecture, explaining stylistic
differences such as Doric versus Corinthian columns and early English versus perpendicular Gothic. He
favors grand structures like monuments（历史遗迹）and country houses, rather than everyday buildings. His
admiration for the 18th century's "golden age" is clear, as he sees it as a time when architecture was improved andwidely understood by the upper class. However, he appears less enthusiastic about more experimental architects
like Nicholas Hawksmoor and Sir John Soane.
The second half shifts to a more argumentative style, where Jenkins strongly criticizes postwar modernist
planning, which he believes led to the destruction of many British cities. He blames architects, planners, and
politicians for prioritizing cars and disregarding traditional urban spaces. Le Corbusier, often accused of
shaping these ideas, is a key target of his analysis. While his arguments are familiar, Jenkins' firsthand
experience in heritage（遗产）preservation adds weight to his concerns. He writes that it is because of these
disasters that he wants to educate the public in architecture, so they won't be misled by professionals in the future.
This goal is one that anyone who loves the art of building can appreciate.
Despite his engaging storytelling, Jenkins' focus on architectural style may feel too academic. He
presents buildings as artistic objects rather than lived spaces shaped by social and historical forces. While
he highlights the elitism（精英主义）of modernist architects, he fails to notice how the "golden age" of
architecture was funded by seizures and slavery. Nevertheless, his call for public awareness in architecture is
persuasive, even if his approach is somewhat old-fashioned.
28. What is a feature of the book according to Paragraph 1?
A. It mainly praises modern designs.
B. It provides a purely technical view.
C. It focuses only on past architecture.
D. It balances history with critical insight.
29. What can we learn about the author from the first half of the book?
A. His residence. B. His preferences.
C. His differences. D. His appearance.
30. Why does Jenkins stress the importance of public awareness in architecture?
A. To promote modern urban design.
B. To protect traditional architecture.
C. To prevent misinformation by experts.
D. To encourage public architectural study.
31. What is a weakness of Jenkins' architectural view?
A. Lack of vivid description.
B. Overemphasis on design.
C. Ignorance of preservation.
D. Oversimplification of history.
D
Psychologists define motivation as the desire or drive to initiate and maintain a particular behavior, which can
be categorized into internal and external motivation. Internal motivation occurs when an activity is seen as an end
in itself, such as playing video games, because the experience itself is enjoyable or meaningful. External
motivation, on the other hand, involves pursuing a task as a means to an end, like visiting the dentist for healthy
teeth, where the reward comes later.
While external rewards, such as payment, may seem appealing, their effectiveness can be short-lived. A 2017study found that people who focused too much on outcomes were less likely to stick to their New Year's
resolutions. Research shows that high levels of internal motivation are more likely to sustain long-term
engagement. However, daily actions are rarely driven by purely internal or external factors. For example, studying
history may be internally motivated by curiosity about ancient Egypt, but external factors like grades or family
pressure can also play a role.
However, having multiple motivators isn't always beneficial. A study of military staff found that those driven
by both internal factors, such as the pursuit of self-improvement, and external factors, like the desire for a well-
paying job, were less motivated overall than those driven by just one factor. Psychologists call this the over-
justification effect, where additional external motivators can undermine existing internal drive.
For students preparing for exams, understanding the balance between internal and external motivation is
crucial for maintaining focus and avoiding burnout. Learning requires both personal interest and external goals, but
over-reliance on external rewards can weaken internal motivation, reducing efficiency. Therefore, finding a balance
between internal and external motivators is key to maintaining long-term focus.
In conclusion, maintaining motivation is a dynamic process that requires careful management of both personal
interest and external goals. Students should develop their internal motivation while using external rewards
strategically to support their long-term focus and success.
32. What does Paragraph 1 mainly talk about?
A. The classification of stress. B. The definition of motivation.
C. The meaning of achievements. D. The significance of experiences.
33. What is a feature of external motivation according to the text?
A. It ignores the final result. B. It leads to steady progress.
C. It determines daily choices. D. It tends to weaken over time.
34. What does the author suggest readers do with multiple motivators?
A. Boost them equally. B. Favor external factors.
C. Depend only on one. D. Manage them wisely.
35. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Balancing Internal and External Drive.
B. Understanding Personal and External Needs.
C. Managing Self-Driven and Goal-Directed Tasks.
D. Exploring Psychological and Behavioral Aspects.

Jeff had always been the kind of person who loved making plans, but following through was a different story.
As the new year approached, he made a resolution——to jog for 30 minutes every day. He knew it would be good
for his health, help him stay active, and give him more energy for his studies. However, deep down, he also knew
his biggest challenge: consistency.
On January 1st, he set his alarm early in the morning, put on his new running shoes, and started his
first jo g around the neighborhood. The cold morning air made him shiver（颤抖）, but he kept going.
For the first few days, he stuck to his plan. He enjoyed the quiet streets, the fresh air, and the sense of
accomplishment. The rhythm of his footsteps, the steady pace of his breathing, and the cool wind brushing against
his face made him feel refreshed and awake.
However, as the days passed, his motivation began to weaken. The weather got colder, schoolwork increased,
and he found more and more excuses to skip his run. "I'll do it tomorrow," he told himself. But tomorrow became
the next day, and then the next. Soon, a week passed without a single jog. The once-exciting goal now felt stressful,
and each missed run filled him with guilt. He missed the sense of accomplishment but couldn't find the energy to
restart.
His mother noticed his lack of enthusiasm. One evening, as he was checking his phone instead of preparing for
his run, she sat beside him. "I see you've been finding it difficult to keep your resolution," she said gently. "Starting
something new is always hard, but sticking with it is what makes it meaningful."
Jeff sighed. "I just don't feel like running. It's cold, and I'm tired."
His mother smiled and handed him a small notebook. "Why don't you write down how you feel after each run?
It might help you stay motivated."
Jeff hesitated but eventually nodded in agreement.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右；
2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
The next morning, Jeff forced himself to put on his running shoes.
Months later, as Jeff looked through his notebook, he smiled.2025 抚顺模拟英语试题参考答案

参考范文一
My Community Service Experience
Community service is a meaningful way to give back to society. Last month, I joined a volunteer program to
help clean a local park.
My job was to collect trash, sweep the walkways, and educate visitors about environmental protection. At first,
it was exhausting to walk around picking up litter under the hot sun. Some visitors ignored our reminders, which
made me feel frustrated. However, with encouragement from my teammates, I kept going. Over time, more people
noticed our efforts and even joined us. Seeing the park become cleaner and the visitors become more aware of their
actions, I felt a great sense of accomplishment.
Through this experience, I learned the importance of teamwork and persistence. I hope more people will take
part and contribute to a better world.
参考范文二
My Community Service Experience
Community service is a great way to help others and learn valuable lessons. Last summer, I volunteered at a
nursing home to assist elderly residents.
My main tasks included helping them walk, listening to their stories, and organizing small activities like
singing and drawing. At first, I found it difficult to communicate with them because they spoke slowly and repeated
stories. However, by listening patiently and responding with kindness, I built strong connections. Some even
shared valuable life advice with me. Though the work was tiring, seeing their happy smiles made all my efforts
worthwhile.
This experience taught me the importance of empathy and responsibility. Community service not only benefits
others but also helps us grow. I encourage everyone to take part and make a difference!

The next morning, Jeff forced himself to put on his running shoes. Stepping outside, he felt the chilly air bite
his skin, but he reminded himself of his mother's words. "Just start," he whispered. He began jogging slowly, his
legs feeling heavy. After a few minutes, he found his rhythm. The air felt fresher, his breathing steadier, and a sense
of calmness washed over him. When he finished, he wrote in his journal, "I felt tired at first, but refreshed
afterward." Encouraged, he kept up the habit, writing after each run.Months later, as Jeff looked through his notebook, he smiled. Each entry reflected his progress——from
dragging himself out of bed to eagerly anticipating his runs. His endurance had improved, and so had his
confidence. More importantly, he had discovered the true value of persistence. Sitting beside his mother, he said
with gratitude, "I almost quit, but your advice kept me going." She smiled with pride. Sometimes, small steps lead
to the greatest changes. Jeff had not only developed a habit but also a valuable life lesson.

you think this is true?
M: Is it because they can arrange their time to fit a new task?
W: Very good answer. Some people are natural organizers, but most of us, however, have to plan our time carefully
in order to finish everything. Most of you have housework to do at home and most of you probably put it off until a
time you want to do it. However, if you did it immediately, it would be finished and you wouldn't have to think
about it.
M: But how can we organize our time?
W: Well, let's see. First, you could make a list of your tasks——including everything you want to do, even the fun
things. Then on a piece of paper, write down the time you set aside for sleeping and connect the remaining hours
with the tasks you listed first. Please do this for the next class and we will compare how different people manage
their own 24 hours per day.

W: Dear friends,
Thank you for opening this month's issue. We'll go on helping you improve your English. As spring is
leaving,I hope you all have some plans for the sunny days. If you want to try something different, read about
Victoria Falls and find out what is interesting to do in that part of Africa before you buy your air ticket.Many people will head for the beach or pool to cool off during the hot summer month, so be sure to read tips
about how to keep safe while swimming before you go.
These are just a few articles you'll find inside the magazine this month. So open up and enjoy.
It is time for me to say goodbye to this magazine and all of you. I am now moving back to the US after 33
years of living in this beautiful city. I have enjoyed hearing from many of you as you learn English and gain your
knowledge of the world. I also would like to welcome Zack Mills. I know he will do a great job instead of me.
Enjoy summer and keep working hard in English learning!
Your friend,
Susie Ann
