(2024·山东齐鲁三联考)
On that hot August day in 2023，as ash rained down and flames closed in，Jim Rhodes
didn’t want to be anywhere but Coulterville.“My kid called from Alabama.We first heard about
the fire from him，” Rhodes recalls.“He said，‘Evacuate(撤离)！’ I said，‘Evacuate? To
where？’”Coulterville is a tiny town located among dry hills where local people raise cattle and other
livestock.It has a main street，a park and a museum.It’s got a cafe，a grocery shop and a
post.And with summer temperatures routinely ①topping 100 degrees，it has fires—sometimes big
fires.
Eventually，this big fire got a name：the Moc Fire，for the tiny town of Moccasin—where it
began as a brush fire.
It burnt for 10 days，consuming almost 3,000 acres.Rhodes woke to find his truck covered in
ash and the news was broadcasting evacuation orders.Ranchers(牧场主) across the region were
fighting to protect their animals，loading them into the truck or just setting them loose to find
safety.Volunteers were readying fairgrounds nearby to shelter animals.Already they were filling up
with dogs，cats，chickens，horses，cattle，goats，sheep and rabbits.
As residents and animals were brought out，firefighters ②poured in.“With them came the
biggest bulldozer(挖土机)I’ve ever seen，” says Rhodes.“And they were sent to cut the
firebreak that could save the town.We knew that if it destroyed the cut，we’d all have to get out
of here.”
The situation was clear.The danger was growing.But slowly Rhodes realized that he hadn’t
come to Coulterville just to leave when the town needed him.He stayed，joining the ③handful of
residents who gathered around the main street where fire officials posted updates.He knew he could
help somebody，somehow.
Around midmorning，a farmer he’d never met came by asking for help with animal
evacuation.Rhodes’s phone was still ringing，but he knew what to do.“I hung up my phone，
got in the truck and ④headed down to his farm，” he says.

(2024·湖南常德一模)“So ， Mr Albert ， you’ve told us about your strengths but what about your
weaknesses？” It’s a common interview question.To which a classic humblebrag(谦虚自夸)
reply is，“Well.I must admit that I’m a bit of a ①perfectionist.” After all，what company
wouldn’t want to employ somebody who seeks perfection? But it turns out that there is a
profound difference between high-achievers and perfectionists.In a cruel irony，the perfectionist
traits could actually prevent someone from achieving their full potential.
The roots of perfectionism actually lie in a deep desire to feel perfect.Most often a
perfectionist personality is formed in reaction to some form of childhood trauma.For example，
following her parents’ divorce，a young girl might strive to always be good，to always be
perfect because at some level she believes that it must have been her fault that her parents
separated.So as long as she is perfect，nothing so terrible would happen again.
Given such origins ， it appears that the thinking and emotional styles associated with
perfectionism are particularly dangerous to mental health.Think of the harshest and most
②merciless perfectionists you know.They always，always，always find fault.Their cognitive(认知
的) styles include ③all-or-nothing thinking，where only perfection is seen as an acceptable
result；fear of failure，where a perfectionist is driven by fear rather than pulled by the prospect of
success in their endeavors；④defensiveness in the face of constructive criticism.All of these seem
to be linked to a wide range of psychological problems including eating disorders，anxiety and
depression，and even suicide.
Changing this mindset is the key to treating the condition when it becomes a disorder but it is
difficult to achieve.Perfectionists are essentially in an abusive relationship with themselves.It’s
hard enough to withdraw from abusive relationships with others.How much harder is it when you
yourself are the abuser? So perhaps a better answer to the interview question posed at the start of
this article would be，“I used to be a perfectionist but now I’m well on the road to recovery.”
语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了完美主义的特质实际上可能会阻碍一个人充
分发挥自己的潜力，并解释了完美主义的成因以及危害。
8．Why does the author mention the interview question in paragraph 1?
A．To provide an example.
B．To introduce the topic.
C．To support the argument.
D．To attract the readers’ interest.

义者，以此自夸，接下来则指出完美主义可能并非优点，由此可知，作者在第一段提到了面
试问题是为了引入话题。故选B。9．Who will most probably become a perfectionist?
A．A high-achiever.
B．A person who always finds fault.
C．An overconfident man.
D．A son of a violent alcoholic father.
答案 D
解析 推理判断题。根据第二段中“Most often a perfectionist personality is formed in reaction
to some form of childhood trauma....So as long as she is perfect，nothing so terrible would happen
again.”可知，完美主义大多起源于童年创伤，结合选项可推知，暴力酗酒父亲的儿子最有
可能成为完美主义者。故选D。
10．What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about?
A．Perfectionism often has three different types.
B．Perfectionism has a bad effect on physical health.
C．Perfectionism is caused by high personal standard.
D．Perfectionism is a risk factor for psychological disorders.
答案 D

的危险因素。故选D。
11．What does the author think of perfectionism?
A．It’s hard for people to get rid of it.
B．It drives people to achieve success.
C．It’s more of a strength than a weakness.
D．It inevitably leads to mental problems.
答案 A

when it becomes a disorder but it is difficult to achieve.”可推知，作者认为人们很难摆脱完美
主义。故选A。

(2024·河南南阳一模)Text message acronyms(首字母缩略词) caused plenty of confusion for the older generations
when mobile phones became ①commonplace—now emojis are making the embarrassment become
more serious.
Slack ， a workplace messaging service ， ② surveyed 9,400 office workers worldwide
including 1,000 in the UK.It found the biggest emoji socially embarrassing action or mistake at
work was pictures of lips.Most older workers did not realize the double meaning of the peach
emoji，which for younger users means hips.Olivia Grace，a director at Slack，said，“The
findings of our research are very clear—be careful when communicating with emojis across
generations.Emojis offer a great way to communicate emotion，whether it’s a joke，support or
something else，but it’s good to be aware that different meanings may exist to avoid any
awkward ③interpretations.”
The simple smiling face was also a source of misunderstanding—60 percent of over-40s used
it to show happiness or pleasure but a significant number of younger workers used it to convey
“deep anger”．An image of someone painting their nails was the most confusing—it meant
nothing to the older generation，while the under-25s said they used it to say “there is gossip”，
and the 25- to 40-year-olds used it to communicate making themselves more beautiful.However，
all ages agreed on the meaning of some emojis，such as a face with tears of laughter and a crying
emoji.
Speaking about its reasons for conducting the survey，Slack said，“Are there certain emojis
that should restrict your boss from using them? Have your international colleagues ever
misunderstood an emoji? And do you usually wait to build a relationship before sending emojis at
work？” It ④added that with thousands of emojis at users’ treatment，“there’s a lot of
potential” to communicate by mistake.
Emojis are not technically a form of language，as they lack grammar.The original user of a
particular emoji has no copyright on how it is to be understood.The significance of emojis belongs
to those who use them，and they have a truly valuable role in written communication.
语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍不同年龄段的人对一些表情符号的理解会有所
不同，在使用表情符号，尤其是跨代使用表情符号交流时要小心，以防造成误解和尴尬。
12．What did Slack find about emojis?
A．Acronyms cause more confusion than them.
B．People understand some of them differently.
C．It’s popular for office workers to use them.
D．They can avoid many awkward situations.
答案 B
解析 细节理解题。由第二段中“It found the biggest emoji socially embarrassing...which for
younger users means hips.”可知，Slack对表情符号的研究发现人们对一些表情符号的理解不同。故选B。
13．How is the third paragraph developed?
A．By analyzing causes.
B．By raising questions.
C．By following time order.
D．By making comparisons.
答案 D
解析 写作手法题。由第三段可知，第三段通过比较不同年龄段的人对于同一表情符号的不
同理解来阐述表情符号会造成误解。故选D。
14．Why did Slack conduct the survey?
A．To help people use emojis properly.
B．To find original emojis.
C．To prove the convenience of emojis.
D．To explain some special emojis.
答案 A
解 析 推 理 判 断 题 。 由 第 四 段 “ Speaking about its reasons for conducting the
survey...‘there’s a lot of potential’ to communicate by mistake.”可知，Slack之所以进行这
项调查是为了澄清误解，帮助人们正确使用表情符号。故选A。
15．What is the author’s attitude towards using emojis?
A．Unclear. B．Dismissive.
C．Doubtful. D．Approving.
答案 D
解析 观点态度题。由最后一段中“The significance of emojis belongs to those who use
them，and they have a truly valuable role in written communication.”可知，作者认可表情符号
在交流中的重要作用，即作者对使用表情符号的态度是赞同的。故选D。
语境猜词

Ⅱ.七选五阅读(每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)
(2024·浙江嘉兴二模)
Education is a good opportunity for those of us who expect to better ourselves.But for people
in full-time employment ， getting the balancing act between work and studying can provechallenging.But look on the bright side. 1
University is often considered a logical step for people who wish to continue their education
after school.While options of Master’s degrees，PhDs and other ①postgraduate qualifications
exist，many students leave after obtaining their Bachelor’s and head into the world of work. 2
They hope it may open up new opportunities or help them to get a promotion.

make you more of an authority in your area and a ②go-to person for advice. 3 In short，
studying more could make you more ③promotable down the line and more helpful to the business.
If you study in a classroom，your experience of the workplace could bring a wealth of
knowledge to other students and provide real-life examples for you to draw on.You may also meet
④like-minded people. 4 In addition，while adult learners have to consider things like
children，home lives and work，many adult and part-time courses are more flexible.Some courses

B。
2．答案 F
解析 上文提到很多人大学毕业就进入职场，下文“They hope it may open up new
opportunities or help them to get a promotion.”提到给他们带来新的机会或帮助他们获得晋升。
