A Yue Opera play titled New Dragon Gate Inn is just the opportunity. As the play gains popularity, an actress, who plays the important supporting role of JiaTing, has become a star. Nicknamed the “Jade-faced Man”, Jia’s handsome appearance and attractive yet natural charm have got more attention. Now the actress is sparking a Yue Opera fever in China. She says her profession is a combination of the charms of both genders while showing a mysterious sense of beauty. Innovation (创新) may be an important reason for this play to be popular. Unlike traditional opera stage, the theater is like an inn. The audience sit close to the performers. They are guests in the inn, and sometimes, the performers interact with them. In some cases, the audience become part of the play. They immerse themselves in a unique and fascinating viewing experience. The idea of the stage seems to disappear. So does the distance between performers and the audience. The audience and performers are all part of the play. This fresh, unusual viewing experience has drawn young people to the theater again and again. They really like it. The success of New Dragon Gate Inn comes not only from the charm of the work itself, but also from the cultural heritage. Through the play, more people have come to realize that Yue Opera can tap more opportunities for the future of Chinese traditional opera. “Opera is absorbed in the DNA of the Chinese. After a small stone is cast, the DNA awakens. I hope I am that small stone,” the actress said. “Today, we are putting in great efforts to make Yue Opera more popular with the younger generation. This is a positive step in the revival of this ancient art.” 24. What makes New Dragon Gate Inn popular? A. Its simple plot. B. Its traditional opera stage. C. Its classical music. D. Its creative stage design. 25. Which is closest in meaning to “immerse” in paragraph 4? A. Absorb. B. Addict. C. Express. D. Ease. 26. What is the key factor for the success of New Dragon Gate Inn? A. Many famous actors. B. The effective publicity strategy. C. The cultural heritage. D. The popularity of Yue Opera. 27. What does the actress hope to achieve for Yue Opera? A. To make it popular among young people. B. To keep it the same as it's always been. C. To perform it in different countries. D. To earn more awards for herself. C Today, many people spend a lot of time reading online. Whether reading news or e-books, people are spending more time staring at screens. While online reading opens up a great deal of knowledge to people, there are some disadvantages too, such as tired eyes, headaches, as well as difficulty in focusing on the text. Now a new reading system, Bionic Reading developed by a Swiss company, can help people overcome these issues, and most importantly, it aims to help people read faster online and develop a more in-depth understanding of the content. The reading system improves the reading process by guiding the eyes through the text with artificial fixation points. In short, some parts of the words are displayed in bold (粗体的). As a result, the reader only focuses on the highlighted letters and lets the brain center complete the rest. Your brain can “read” faster than your eyes, so by reducing the number of letters your eye needs to look at, you can read faster while still preserving the full context. The company discovered the system by accident. They were working on designing a book in a foreign language and realized they could read it if they sectioned it off. They worked for six years to develop Bionic Reading and are still working to adjust it. An early study was conducted but more research is needed before it can be definitively shown that the system improves reading. Some people with ADHD (注意缺陷多动障碍) have proved that Bionic Reading helps them focus and understand what they are reading. Other people don’t seem to notice a big difference compared to the regular text. There’s also no evidence to suggest Bionic Reading is any better than the regular text. The best way to know if Bionic Reading helps you read better online is to try it yourself. 28. What is the main purpose of Bionic Reading? A. To make online reading more interesting. B. To figure out several online reading problems. C. To improve online reading speed and understanding. D. To study the effects of online reading on the brain. 29. What is paragraph 2 mainly about? A. The effect of current online reading. B. The creation story of Bionic Reading. C. The advantages of Bionic Reading. D. The principle of Bionic Reading. 30. What can we infer about Bionic Reading from the last paragraph? A. It only helps with foreign languages. B. Its effect varies among different individuals. C. It is better than traditional reading methods. D. Research proves it works for everyone. 31. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Online Reading Is Of Great Benefit B. A New System Improves Online Reading C. Traditional Reading Faces New Challenges D. Bionic Reading Changes Our Reading Habits D Bumblebee (大黄蜂) populations have declined (下降) by 90 percent in the past 20 years. The decline of the bumblebees is highly concerning as they are significant for ecosystems. They pollinate (授粉) flowers and crops. If their populations were to continue to decline, crops would not be able to produce fruits and vegetables. Despite being small, they are important to nature’s balance. And now, a new study published in the Frontiers in Bee Science has found that the rising heat caused by global warming might be a reason for the decrease in numbers across the globe. “The decline in populations and ranges of several species of bumblebees may be explained by issues of overheating of the nests,” Peter Kevan of the University of Guelph in Canada and lead author of the study said in a statement. Kevan and his colleagues decided to take a closer look at the facts relating to bumblebee populations across the world. Kevan and the colleagues looked at 180 years of literature on the species and found one common reason across all bumblebee species that they can survive in temperatures up to 36 degrees Celsius, but the perfect temperature for nests is between 28 to 32 degrees Celsius. They are unlikely to be able to adjust themselves to the extent that rising temperatures due to climate change require, the study reports. While individual bees may be able to deal with increased heat better than others, the study notes that if nests are too hot, the groups will not survive. “The effect of high nest temperatures has not been studied very much, which is surprising,” Kevan said. Similar studies have been done on honeybees (蜜蜂), another threatened yet highly important species. This suggests further that heat stress is a major factor in bees’ overall decline. Although the studies led by Kevan have limitations, the potential effects for bumblebee health and conversation are large and long-term. 32. What do we know about bumblebees from paragraph 1? A. They have been extinct within decades in America. B. Their populations have decreased a lot in the last two decades. C. Americans are concerned about their living environment. D. They tend to depend on flowers and crops to survive. 33. How did Kevan and his coworkers carry out the study? A They raised bumblebees to observe them. B. They focused on studying individual bumblebees. C. They conducted experiments on bumblebees. D. They studied literature on bumblebees. 34. What is the author’s attitude toward Kevan’s studies? A. Unclear. B. Supportive. C. Doubtful. D. Uninterested. 35. Which can be a suitable title for the text? A. Big Results for Small Bumblebees B. Bumblebees Protection Inspires Scientists C. The Impact of Climate Change on Honeybees D. Research Shows the Main Reason of Bumblebee Decline 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5 分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 The positivity effect is a mental phenomenon. Positive emotions and thoughts improve self-worth. This, in turn, leads to improved performance, which then strengthens (加强) positive emotions and thoughts. ____36____. When this happens, we say that positivity is two-way. ____37____. When sadness takes away our energy, it creates a down ward cycle (循环).

Positive emotions build resources; negative (消极的) ones limit them, and being negative leaves us with few options.

One curious finding is that something hits us younger people mentally harder than our parents or grandparents. The reason? ____39____. Adults also know how to develop hope. According to research, the positivity effect is based on how people’s brains process information. When people focus on positive information, their brains are more likely to keep and use it to shape their views of the world. ____40____. So the brains give out feel-good chemicals that strengthen positive connections. As a result, people are more likely to seek out positive experiences and avoid negative experiences, leading to a more satisfying life. A. Sadness works in the opposite way B. In other words, the positivity effect is a good circle C. The key to all of this is being able to change one’s view D. Instead, negative emotions narrow our thinking and responses E.

I still remember how the very first speech that I gave changed my life more than I could have ever imagined. When I was in sixth grade, my teacher, Mrs Lin, encouraged me to sign up for the school speech contest. I was pretty bad at the rehearsal (排练). I felt quite nervous and afraid of failure. Therefore, after class, I ran to the office to find Mrs Lin. Hearing what I said, Mrs Lin sounded puzzled. “You’ve put your heart and soul into practicing it all these past few weeks.” “Yes,” I wanted to say. All I had dreamed of was to represent my school on that stage and be the best public speaker ever. Instead, I whispered, “I messed up big time at rehearsal today. I…I’ve been messing up regularly... a lot. I want to quit.” My words came fast on each other’s heels. “Can you tell the judges I’ve been seriously ill, please?” I sounded hopeless. Mrs Lin was quiet for several moments. “Making up lies is not how we solve problems, Lucy,” she finally said. “You are not the person to shy away from a challenge.” I nodded uncertainly. Then she took out a book about Phoenix. She hoped that Phoenix could give me courage. During reading, Phoenix’s story of bravery and her fight for education fascinated me. Her determination and courage in the face of challenges deeply moved me. Inspired by her story, I decided that my speech would be about Phoenix and the importance of education for everyone. As the day of the contest approached, I was still struggling with my fears. I knew I had to overcome them, not just for myself but also for the message I wanted to convey through Phoenix’s story. I decided to take a different approach to my preparation. I started by researching more about Phoenix, her life, her struggles, and her devotion to education. During this process, I also sought feedback from Mrs Lin. She listened attentively to my drafts and offered constructive comments. Her guidance was invaluable, helping me to shape a speech that was not only informative but also emotionally rich. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 The day of the contest arrived and I stood in front of my schoolmates, my heart racing. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Thanks to Mrs Lin, my dream was coming true. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 十堰市2023—2024学年度下学期期末调研考试 高 一 英 语 本试卷共10页，满分150分，考试时间120分钟。 注意事项： 1.答题前，考生务必将自己的姓名、考生号、考场号、座位号填写在答题卡上。 2.回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上。写在本试卷上无效。 3.考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 第一节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C 三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 例：How much is the shirt?

He developed the idea for the television sports show and hosted ABC's Wide World of Sports, which showed a variety of sports on Saturday afternoon. In 1964 Gowdy made a video for a show in which he and the famous fisherman Joe Brooks went fishing in the Argentine mountains. It became a hit, and almost immediately ABC created a new show built around outdoor amusement the American sportsman. Hosted by Kirk Gowdy, the show focused on fishing and hunting experiences involving famous persons from movie stars, athletes to educators. For millions of Americans, the show was their window to the natural world. Gowdy, an active environmentalist, was a member of the conservation hall of fame international.

However, it requires only an opportunity to awaken people’s interest. A Yue Opera play titled New Dragon Gate Inn is just the opportunity. As the play gains popularity, an actress, who plays the important supporting role of JiaTing, has become a star. Nicknamed the “Jade-faced Man”, Jia’s handsome appearance and attractive yet natural charm have got more attention. Now the actress is sparking a Yue Opera fever in China. She says her profession is a combination of the charms of both genders while showing a mysterious sense of beauty. Innovation (创新) may be an important reason for this play to be popular. Unlike traditional opera stage, the theater is like an inn. The audience sit close to the performers. They are guests in the inn, and sometimes, the performers interact with them. In some cases, the audience become part of the play. They immerse themselves in a unique and fascinating viewing experience. The idea of the stage seems to disappear. So does the distance between performers and the audience. The audience and performers are all part of the play. This fresh, unusual viewing experience has drawn young people to the theater again and again. They really like it. The success of New Dragon Gate Inn comes not only from the charm of the work itself, but also from the cultural heritage. Through the play, more people have come to realize that Yue Opera can tap more opportunities for the future of Chinese traditional opera. “Opera is absorbed in the DNA of the Chinese. After a small stone is cast, the DNA awakens. I hope I am that small stone,” the actress said. “Today, we are putting in great efforts to make Yue Opera more popular with the younger generation. This is a positive step in the revival of this ancient art.” 24. What makes New Dragon Gate Inn popular? A. Its simple plot. B. Its traditional opera stage. C. Its classical music. D.

Unlike traditional opera stage, the theater is like an inn. (创新可能是这部剧受欢迎的一个重要原因。与传统的歌剧舞台不同，剧场就像一个客栈。)”以及“The idea of the stage seems to disappear. So does the distance between performers and the audience. The audience and performers are all part of the play. (舞台的概念似乎消失了。演员和观众之间的距离也是如此。观众和演员都是这出戏的一部分。)”可知，这部剧的舞台是整个剧场，被设计成一个客栈，观众成为客栈的客人，距离感消失，反而成为这出戏的一部分。这样特殊的舞台设计，是这部剧受欢迎的一个重要原因。故选D项。 【25题详解】 词义猜测题。根据语境分析，该动词的主语“They”指代前文提及的观众，结合前文的描述“They are guests in the inn, and sometimes, the performers interact with them. In some cases, the audience become part of the play. (他们是客栈里的客人，有时，演员会与他们互动。在某些情况下，观众成为戏剧的一部分。)”可知，观众成为了戏剧的一部分，会与演员互动，这样的情境下，观众应是会沉浸其中，更加专注于戏剧表演。由此可推知，“immerse”应是“沉浸其中，专注于”含义，与选项A“Absorb.(专心，全神贯注)”为同义表达。故选A项。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第五段内容“The success of New Dragon Gate Inn comes not only from the charm of the work itself, but also from the cultural heritage. (新龙门客栈的成功不仅来自作品本身的魅力，更来自文化底蕴。)”可知，该剧的成功不仅是作品本身的魅力，其关键因素是文化底蕴。故选C项。 【27题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章末尾段内容“I hope I am that small stone (我希望我就是那块小石头)”以及“Today, we are putting in great efforts to make Yue Opera more popular with the younger generation.

Whether reading news or e-books, people are spending more time staring at screens. While online reading opens up a great deal of knowledge to people, there are some disadvantages too, such as tired eyes, headaches, as well as difficulty in focusing on the text. Now a new reading system, Bionic Reading developed by a Swiss company, can help people overcome these issues, and most importantly, it aims to help people read faster online and develop a more in-depth understanding of the content. The reading system improves the reading process by guiding the eyes through the text with artificial fixation points. In short, some parts of the words are displayed in bold (粗体的). As a result, the reader only focuses on the highlighted letters and lets the brain center complete the rest. Your brain can “read” faster than your eyes, so by reducing the number of letters your eye needs to look at, you can read faster while still preserving the full context. The company discovered the system by accident. They were working on designing a book in a foreign language and realized they could read it if they sectioned it off. They worked for six years to develop Bionic Reading and are still working to adjust it. An early study was conducted but more research is needed before it can be definitively shown that the system improves reading. Some people with ADHD (注意缺陷多动障碍) have proved that Bionic Reading helps them focus and understand what they are reading. Other people don’t seem to notice a big difference compared to the regular text. There’s also no evidence to suggest Bionic Reading is any better than the regular text. The best way to know if Bionic Reading helps you read better online is to try it yourself. 28. What is the main purpose of Bionic Reading? A. To make online reading more interesting. B. To figure out several online reading problems. C. To improve online reading speed and understanding. D To study the effects of online reading on the brain. 29. What is paragraph 2 mainly about? A. The effect of current online reading. B. The creation story of Bionic Reading. C. The advantages of Bionic Reading. D. The principle of Bionic Reading. 30. What can we infer about Bionic Reading from the last paragraph? A. It only helps with foreign languages. B. Its effect varies among different individuals. C. It is better than traditional reading methods. D. Research proves it works for everyone. 31. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Online Reading Is Of Great Benefit B. A New System Improves Online Reading C. Traditional Reading Faces New Challenges D. Bionic Reading Changes Our Reading Habits 【答案】28. C 29. D 30. B 31. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一种名为“仿生阅读”（Bionic Reading）的新型在线阅读系统。这种系统由瑞士一家公司开发，旨在帮助人们克服长时间盯着屏幕阅读带来的视力疲劳、头痛和注意力难以集中等问题，并通过引导眼睛通过人工注视点来提高阅读速度和理解深度。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Now a new reading system, Bionic Reading developed by a Swiss company, can help people overcome these issues, and most importantly, it aims to help people read faster online and develop a more in-depth understanding of the content.(现在，一家瑞士公司开发的一种新的阅读系统仿生阅读可以帮助人们克服这些问题，最重要的是，它旨在帮助人们更快地在线阅读，并对内容有更深入的理解。)”可知，仿生阅读系统旨在帮助人们更快地在线阅读并更深入地理解内容。故选C。 【29题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段中“The reading system improves the reading process by guiding the eyes through the text with artificial fixation points. In short, some parts of the words are displayed in bold(粗体的). As a result, the reader only focuses on the highlighted letters and lets the brain center complete the rest. Your brain can “read” faster than your eyes, so by reducing the number of letters your eye needs to look at, you can read faster while still preserving the full context.(阅读系统通过人工注视点引导眼睛通过文本，从而改善阅读过程。简而言之，单词的某些部分以粗体显示。因此，读者只关注突出显示的字母，而让大脑中心完成其余的部分。大脑的“阅读”速度比眼睛快，所以通过减少眼睛需要看的字母数量，你可以在保持全文的同时读得更快。)”可知，本段主要描述了仿生阅读是如何通过人工注视点引导眼睛阅读文本，以及如何通过突出显示部分字母来减少眼睛需要查看的字母数量，从而提高阅读速度，即主要讲述了仿生阅读的原理。故选D。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Some people with ADHD(注意缺陷多动障碍) have proved that Bionic Reading helps them focus and understand what they are reading. Other people don’t seem to notice a big difference compared to the regular text. There’s also no evidence to suggest Bionic Reading is any better than the regular text. (一些患有多动症的人已经证明，仿生阅读可以帮助他们集中注意力并理解他们正在阅读的内容。其他人似乎没有注意到与常规文本相比有很大的不同。也没有证据表明仿生阅读比常规文本更好。)”可知，最后一段提到一些人，特别是患有ADHD的人，发现仿生阅读有助于他们集中注意力和理解所读内容，而其他人则没有明显感觉到与常规文本的差异，即推断出仿生阅读的效果因人而异。故选B。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Now a new reading system, Bionic Reading developed by a Swiss company, can help people overcome these issues, and most importantly, it aims to help people read faster online and develop a more in-depth understanding of the content.(现在，一家瑞士公司开发一种新的阅读系统仿生阅读可以帮助人们克服这些问题，最重要的是，它旨在帮助人们更快地在线阅读，并对内容有更深入的理解。)”以及通读全文，文章主要介绍了仿生阅读系统如何帮助改善在线阅读体验，包括提高阅读速度和理解能力。B选项“A New System Improves Online Reading(新系统改善在线阅读)”概括文章主要内容，符合文章标题。故选B。 D Bumblebee (大黄蜂) populations have declined (下降) by 90 percent in the past 20 years. The decline of the bumblebees is highly concerning as they are significant for ecosystems. They pollinate (授粉) flowers and crops. If their populations were to continue to decline, crops would not be able to produce fruits and vegetables. Despite being small, they are important to nature’s balance. And now, a new study published in the Frontiers in Bee Science has found that the rising heat caused by global warming might be a reason for the decrease in numbers across the globe. “The decline in populations and ranges of several species of bumblebees may be explained by issues of overheating of the nests,” Peter Kevan of the University of Guelph in Canada and lead author of the study said in a statement. Kevan and his colleagues decided to take a closer look at the facts relating to bumblebee populations across the world. Kevan and the colleagues looked at 180 years of literature on the species and found one common reason across all bumblebee species that they can survive in temperatures up to 36 degrees Celsius, but the perfect temperature for nests is between 28 to 32 degrees Celsius. They are unlikely to be able to adjust themselves to the extent that rising temperatures due to climate change require, the study reports. While individual bees may be able to deal with increased heat better than others, the study notes that if nests are too hot, the groups will not survive. “The effect of high nest temperatures has not been studied very much, which is surprising,” Kevan said. Similar studies have been done on honeybees (蜜蜂), another threatened yet highly important species. This suggests further that heat stress is a major factor in bees’ overall decline. Although the studies led by Kevan have limitations the potential effects for bumblebee health and conversation are large and long-term. 32. What do we know about bumblebees from paragraph 1? A. They have been extinct within decades in America. B. Their populations have decreased a lot in the last two decades. C. Americans are concerned about their living environment. D. They tend to depend on flowers and crops to survive. 33. How did Kevan and his coworkers carry out the study? A. They raised bumblebees to observe them. B. They focused on studying individual bumblebees. C. They conducted experiments on bumblebees. D. They studied literature on bumblebees. 34. What is the author’s attitude toward Kevan’s studies? A. Unclear. B. Supportive. C. Doubtful. D. Uninterested. 35. Which can be a suitable title for the text? A. Big Results for Small Bumblebees B. Bumblebees Protection Inspires Scientists C. The Impact of Climate Change on Honeybees D. Research Shows the Main Reason of Bumblebee Decline 【答案】32. B 33. D 34. B 35. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要围绕大黄蜂种群数量下降的问题展开，解释了这一现象可能的原因——全球变暖导致的温度升高。文章通过引用研究数据、专家观点等，对大黄蜂的生态重要性、适应温度范围、以及高温对其种群的影响进行了说明。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Bumblebee (大黄蜂) populations have declined (下降) by 90 percent in the past 20 years. The decline of the bumblebees is highly concerning as they are significant for ecosystems. (大黄蜂的数量在过去的20年里下降了90%。大黄蜂的减少是高度关注的，因为它们对生态系统具有重要意义。)”可知，大黄蜂的数量在过去的二十年里大幅度减少。故选B。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Kevan and his colleagues decided to take a closer look at the facts relating to bumblebee populations across the world. Kevan and the colleagues looked at 180 years of literature on the species and found one common reason across all bumblebee species that they can survive in temperatures up to 36 degrees Celsius, but the perfect temperature for nests is between 28 to 32 degrees Celsius.(Kevan和他的同事们决定仔细研究一下与世界各地大黄蜂种群有关的事实。Kevan和他的同事们查阅了180年来关于这个物种的文献，发现了所有大黄蜂物种都能在36摄氏度的温度下生存的一个共同原因，但筑巢的最佳温度是28到32摄氏度。)”可知，Kevan和他的同事们查阅了180年来关于这个物种的文献，这说明他们是通过研究关于大黄蜂的文献来进行研究的。故选D。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Although the studies led by Kevan have limitations, the potential effects for bumblebee health and conversation are large and long-term.(虽然Kevan的研究存在局限性，但对大黄蜂健康和交流的潜在影响是巨大而长期的。)”可知，作者对Kevan的研究持支持态度。故选B。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第二段“And now, a new study published in the Frontiers in Bee Science has found that the rising heat caused by global warming might be a reason for the decrease in numbers across the globe. “The decline in populations and ranges of several species of bumblebees may be explained by issues of overheating of the nests,” Peter Kevan of the University of Guelph in Canada and lead author of the study said in a statement.(现在，发表在《蜜蜂科学前沿》上的一项新研究发现，全球变暖导致的气温上升可能是全球蜜蜂数量减少的一个原因。加拿大圭尔夫大学的Peter Kevan是这项研究的主要作者，他在一份声明中说：“一些大黄蜂物种的数量和范围的下降可能是由于巢穴过热的问题造成的。”)”以及全文内容可知，文章主要围绕大黄蜂种群数量下降的问题展开，通过引用研究数据、专家观点等，解释了这一现象可能的原因——全球变暖导致的温度升高。选项D“Research Shows the Main Reason of Bumblebee Decline(研究揭示了大黄蜂数量下降的主要原因)” 准确概括了文章的主题。故选D。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5 分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 The positivity effect is a mental phenomenon. Positive emotions and thoughts improve self-worth. This, in turn, leads to improved performance, which then strengthens (加强) positive emotions and thoughts. ____36____. When this happens, we say that positivity is two-way. ____37____. When sadness takes away our energy, it creates a down ward cycle (循环). I do nothing because I’m sad, and I’m sad because I do nothing. Positive emotions tend to broaden our thinking and allow us to see more possibilities. ____38____. Positive emotions build resources; negative (消极的) ones limit them, and being negative leaves us with few options. The positivity effect can help us manage life’s challenges more easily and seems to be related to age. One curious finding is that something hits us younger people mentally harder than our parents or grandparents. The reason? ____39____. Adults also know how to develop hope. According to research, the positivity effect is based on how people’s brains process information. When people focus on positive information, their brains are more likely to keep and use it to shape their views of the world. ____40____. So the brains give out feel-good chemicals that strengthen positive connections. As a result, people are more likely to seek out positive experiences and avoid negative experiences, leading to a more satisfying life. A. Sadness works in the opposite way B. In other words, the positivity effect is a good circle C. The key to all of this is being able to change one’s view D. Instead, negative emotions narrow our thinking and responses E. Adults develop the ability to deal with difficulty and disappointment as they age F. Surrounding yourself with positive people is one way to use the power of positivity G. This is because positive emotions make the reward centers of the brains start working 【答案】36. B 37. A 38. D 39. E 40. G 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。本文主要探讨了积极效应这一心理现象，它如何通过提升自我价值感来改善个人表现，并形成正向循环。 【36题详解】 根据前文“Positive emotions and thoughts improve self-worth. This, in turn, leads to improved performance, which then strengthens(加强) positive emotions and thoughts.(积极的情绪和想法可以提高自我价值。这反过来又会提高表现，从而加强积极的情绪和想法。)”，可知空格前提到积极情绪和想法能够提升自我价值，进而改善表现，形成正向循环。B选项“In other words, the positivity effect is a good circle(换句话说，积极效应是一个很好的循环)”对前文进行概括，指出积极效应是一个很好的循环，形成呼应。故选B。 【37题详解】 根据后文“ When sadness takes away our energy, it creates a down ward cycle(悲伤带走我们的能量，形成恶性循环)”可知，此处强调悲伤带来的恶性效果。A选项“Sadness works in the opposite way(悲伤的作用正好相反)”引起下文，指出悲伤与积极情绪形成的作用正好相反即带来恶性循环。故选A。 【38题详解】 根据空前“Positive emotions tend to broaden our thinking and allow us to see more possibilities. (积极的情绪往往会拓宽我们的思维，让我们看到更多的可能性。)”可知，此处强调提到的是积极情绪能够拓宽我们的思维，让我们看到更多可能性。D选项“Instead, negative emotions narrow our thinking and responses(相反，负面情绪会限制我们的思维和反应)”可知，此处强调负面情绪会限制我们的思维和反应，前后构成转折关系，将积极情绪和负面情绪的作用构成对比。故选D。 【39题详解】 根据前文“The positivity effect can help us manage life’s challenges more easily and seems to be related to age. One curious finding is that something hits us younger people mentally harder than our parents or grandparents. The reason?( 积极效应可以帮助我们更容易地应对生活中的挑战，似乎与年龄有关。一个奇怪的发现是，有些事情对我们年轻人的心理打击比我们的父母或祖父母更大。原因是什么呢？)”可知，空格前提到积极效应似乎与年龄有关，年轻人在心理上受到的打击比父母或祖父母更大。原因是什么呢？后文应该对该原因进行解释。E选项“Adults develop the ability to deal with difficulty and disappointment as they age(随着年龄的增长，成年人会发展出处理困难和失望的能力)”，成年人会发展出处理困难和失望的能力解释了上述提出的问题，即随着年龄的增长，成年人随着年龄的增长发展出应对困难和失望的能力。E选项符合语境。故选E。 【40题详解】 根据前文“When people focus on positive information, their brains are more likely to keep and use it to shape their views of the world. (当人们专注于积极的信息时，他们的大脑更有可能保留并利用它来塑造他们对世界的看法。)”可知，空格前提到当人们专注于积极信息时，大脑更有可能保留并使用它来塑造他们对世界的看法。以及根据空后“So the brains give out feel-good chemicals that strengthen positive connections. (因此，大脑会释放出让人感觉良好的化学物质，加强积极的联系。)”可知，此处强调的是大脑释放出让人感觉良好的化学物质，加强积极联系。此处探讨的是大脑和积极信息之间的关系，即在积极信息的影响下，大脑保留塑造人们对世界的看法以及大脑释放让人感觉良好的化学物质，加强积极的联系。G选项“This is because positive emotions make the reward centers of the brains start working(这是因为积极的情绪使大脑的奖励中心开始工作)”中积极的情绪使大脑的奖励中心开始工作产生的结果是大脑会释放出让人感觉良好的化学物质，加强积极的联系。G选项符合语境。故选G。 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Zach Hackett was 12,000 feet up a Colorado mountain last May when he thought he heard a faint sound.

I still remember how the very first speech that I gave changed my life more than I could have ever imagined. When I was in sixth grade, my teacher, Mrs Lin, encouraged me to sign up for the school speech contest. I was pretty bad at the rehearsal (排练). I felt quite nervous and afraid of failure. Therefore, after class, I ran to the office to find Mrs Lin. Hearing what I said, Mrs Lin sounded puzzled. “You’ve put your heart and soul into practicing it all these past few weeks.” “Yes,” I wanted to say. All I had dreamed of was to represent my school on that stage and be the best public speaker ever. Instead, I whispered, “I messed up big time at rehearsal today. I…I’ve been messing up regularly... a lot. I want to quit.” My words came fast on each other’s heels. “Can you tell the judges I’ve been seriously ill, please?” I sounded hopeless. Mrs Lin was quiet for several moments. “Making up lies is not how we solve problems, Lucy,” she finally said. “You are not the person to shy away from a challenge.” I nodded uncertainly. Then she took out a book about Phoenix. She hoped that Phoenix could give me courage. During reading, Phoenix’s story of bravery and her fight for education fascinated me. Her determination and courage in the face of challenges deeply moved me. Inspired by her story, I decided that my speech would be about Phoenix and the importance of education for everyone. As the day of the contest approached, I was still struggling with my fears. I knew I had to overcome them, not just for myself but also for the message I wanted to convey through Phoenix’s story. I decided to take a different approach to my preparation. I started by researching more about Phoenix, her life, her struggles, and her devotion to education. During this process, I also sought feedback from Mrs Lin. She listened attentively to my drafts and offered constructive comments. Her guidance was invaluable, helping me to shape a speech that was not only informative but also emotionally rich. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 The day of the contest arrived and I stood in front of my schoolmates, my heart racing. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Thanks to Mrs Lin, my dream was coming true. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 The day of the contest arrived and I stood in front of my schoolmates, my heart racing. The lecture hall was filled with students and teachers. As I began to speak, I saw encouraging smiles from Mrs Lin and my friends, which gave me the confidence to continue. I talked about Phoenix’s amazing journey, her challenges, and her great devotion to education. I described how, despite the challenges she faced, Phoenix continued to work hard. I concluded my speech by encouraging everyone to take inspiration from Phoenix and to strive for a better future through working hard. At last, my speech was met with loud applause. Thanks to Mrs Lin, my dream was coming true. I not only won the contest but also got closer to my dream. I knew that without Mrs Lin, I would not have been successful. I made a promise to myself: to carry forward the lessons of courage that Mrs Lin had given. I would use my voice to empower others, to echo the stories that needed to be told, and to honor the guider who had set me on this path. The journey had just begun, and I was ready to embrace it with open arms and an open heart. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者在六年级时，在老师鼓励下报名参加了演讲比赛。由于在排练过程中表现不佳，作者产生了放弃的念头，希望老师帮他以生病为借口向评委申请。老师告诉他说谎不能解决问题，并送了他一本书，希望以此激励他。作者被书中人物鼓舞，最终战胜了自己，成功地完成了演讲比赛，实现了梦想。从此，作者立志用自己的声音去激励帮助有需要的人们。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“比赛的日子到了，我站在同学们的前面，我的心怦怦直跳。”可知，第一段可描写作者比赛的经过和结果。 ②由第二段首句内容“多亏了林老师，我的梦想实现了。”可知，第二段可描写作者对老师的感谢，并立志用自己的声音去帮助别人。 2. 续写线索：比赛到来——老师和朋友们的鼓励——比赛过程——比赛结果——梦想成真——感谢林老师——对自己作出承诺——未来的打算。 3. 词汇激活： 行为类： ①充满：be filled with/be full of ②鼓励、激励：encourage/inspire ③努力、斗争：strive/struggle ④拥抱：embrace/hug 情绪类： ①惊人的：amazing/surprising 【点睛】【高分句型1】 As I began to speak, I saw encouraging smiles from Mrs Lin and my friends, which gave me the confidence to continue. （运用了以连词as引导的时间状语从句和以关系代词which引导的非限制性定语从句。） 【高分句型2】 I knew that without Mrs Lin, I would not have been successful.（运用了以连接词that引导的宾语从句和虚拟语气。） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$null
