When I first brought him home, he was scared of everything. Cars terrified him because he had never experienced traffic before. Toys were so foreign to him that he would shake in fear. He would often spend hours by himself hiding in rooms that I wasn’t in, or in his corner. Play was something he didn’t understand either. Two years ago, my husband and I adopted a Bichon named Freddie. Freddie is the polar opposite of Motley. He is vigorous and cannot stay in one spot for more than a minute or two. He loves chasing toys and playing with us. He is interested in everything. Taking walks is his favorite activity. At first, Motley wanted nothing to do with him. Freddie was determined. He kept trying to play with Motley, until Motley finally caught on, and for the first time in his life he engaged in play. Motley was confused as to why Freddie was interested in chasing toys. One day, Motley ran after one of them and held it in his mouth. He didn’t know what to do with it, but it was a start. Motley began chasing Freddie around, so he wasn’t in a corner by himself as much. As soon as Motley figured out that Freddie was getting to spend more time outside, he became interested in walking. Some days he is excited enough to walk that he is suddenly pulling us to the sidewalk. Motley learns new things from Freddie every day and is a completely new dog. We adopted Freddie as a present for ourselves, but he turned out to be more of a present for Motley. 4. Which of the following can be used to describe Motley from Paragraph 1? A. Playful and curious. B. Brave and loyal. C. Frightened and distant. D. Rude and unfriendly. 5. What does the underlined word “vigorous” mean in paragraph 2? A. Sharp. B. Energetic. C. Lovely. D. Smart. 6. What can we know about Motley after Freddie’s arrival? A. He became active. B. He was better at hiding. C. He was loyal to his owners. D. He became a quicker learner. 7. What could be the best title for the text? A. A Journey to Joy B. A Story of Self-discovery C. An Unexpected Gift D. A Tale of New Adventures 【答案】4. C 5. B 6. A 7. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。作者家里一开始收养了一只叫莫特利狗狗，他胆小怯懦，对人非常疏远，后来作者又收养了一只叫弗雷迪的狗狗，弗雷迪性格开朗，精力充沛，在他的影响下，莫特利变得活跃开朗起来，弗雷迪的到来像是给莫特利的礼物。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“When I first brought him home, he was scared of everything. Cars terrified him because he had never experienced traffic before. Toys were so foreign to him that he would shake in fear. He would often spend hours by himself hiding in rooms that I wasn’t in, or in his corner. Play was something he didn’t understand either.(我第一次带他回家的时候，他什么都害怕。汽车把他吓坏了，因为他以前从未经历过交通堵塞。玩具对他来说太陌生了，他害怕得发抖。他经常花几个小时躲在我不在的房间里，或者躲在他的角落里。玩耍也是他不懂的东西。)”可知，第1段中的莫特利恐惧而疏远。故选C。 【5题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段“He loves chasing toys and playing with us. He is interested in everything. Taking walks is his favorite activity.(他喜欢追玩具，和我们一起玩。他对一切都感兴趣。散步是他最喜欢的活动。)”可知，此处是指他精力充沛，所以vigorous意为“精力充沛的”。故选B。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“As soon as Motley figured out that Freddie was getting to spend more time outside, he became interested in walking. Some days he is excited enough to walk that he is suddenly pulling us to the sidewalk. Motley learns new things from Freddie every day and is a completely new dog.(莫特利一发现弗雷迪在户外的时间越来越多，就对散步产生了兴趣。有时他兴奋得想走路，突然把我们拉到人行道上。莫特利每天都从弗雷迪那里学到新东西，成了一只全新的狗。)”可知，弗雷迪来了之后，莫特利变得活跃了。故选A。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段“We adopted Freddie as a present for ourselves, but he turned out to be more of a present for Motley.(我们收养弗雷迪是给自己的礼物，但他更像是给莫特利的礼物。)”可知，文章主要是讲作者家里收养的第二只狗狗弗雷迪就像是给第一只狗狗莫特利的礼物，弗雷迪的到来让原本胆小怯懦的莫特利变得活跃开朗起来，C“一份意外的礼物”符合文意。故选C。 C Two days after Alice Munro died, I went to an event in New York and found myself among strangers. A woman asked me if I’d heard that the great “Janet Munro” had died. Janet? The confusion was cleared up, and another woman told me that Munro wrote only stories, not novels. Next came the usual question, which people often ask of someone who writes novels and stories: “Which is easier for you?” Easy? That’s an adjective that I’ve never connected with literature. I felt uneasy, thinking that these people might only know Munro for her fame. For a moment I wanted to ask about their favorite Munro story, but I did not. Because I wouldn’t have known the answer, either. I first read Munro in my late 20s. Over the years I have become a revisitor of her writing. And between the revisits life kept changing: marriage, different jobs, giving birth to and parenting two children, losing them six years apart, and now, still feeling sad. I last read Munro in the summer of 2022, on a family holiday near Lake Geneva. I had lost one child then; I did not yet know what was to come. I clearly remember the moment I underlined a sentence when a pair of swans moved effortlessly past me: “She doesn’t mistake that for reality, and neither does she mistake anything else for reality, and that is how she knows that she is reasonable.” The sentence reflected my emotions and touched me deeply. Rereading the passage today, I can’t say I am more clear-headed than I was then. Only, I’ve come further in life, with new knowledge about what is called reality. Stories, at least the kind Munro had written in her career that lasted more than 40 years, are life itself. Rereading Munro is demanding — it asks the readers not to shy away from life; rewarding, too, as I am certain many of Munro’s readers will agree. 8. What does the author think of the people at the event? A. They focused on Munro’s novels. B. They were professionals in literature. C. They knew a lot about Munro’s life. D. They hadn’t read Munro’s works deeply. 9. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about? A. The themes in Munro’s writing. B. Munro’s influence on other writers. C. The author’s favorite Munro story. D. The author’s personal reading journey. 10. Why did the author underline the sentence about reality? A. It mirrored her feelings. B. It was a famous saying. C. It was the only part she liked. D. It inspired her to reread it. 11. What is the author’s attitude towards Munro’s stories? A. Uncertain. B. Critical. C. Objective. D. Appreciative. 【答案】8. D 9. D 10. A 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者在Alice Munro去世后参加纽约的一次活动，发现人们对Munro的了解仅限于她的名声，而非深入阅读她的作品。作者回顾了自己阅读Munro作品的经历，以及这些作品如何陪伴并影响了自己的人生。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“I felt uneasy, thinking that these people might only know Munro for her fame.(我感到不安，心想这些人可能只是因为她的名气才知道门罗)”可知，作者认为这些人知道门罗是因为门罗的名气，而不是因为门罗的作品。由此推知，作者认为这些人并没有深入阅读门罗的作品。故选D项。 【9题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段“I first read Munro in my late 20s. Over the years I have become a revisitor of her writing. And between the revisits life kept changing: marriage, different jobs, giving birth to and parenting two children, losing them six years apart, and now, still feeling sad. I last read Munro in the summer of 2022, on a family holiday near Lake Geneva. I had lost one child then; I did not yet know what was to come. I clearly remember the moment I underlined a sentence when a pair of swans moved effortlessly past me: “She doesn’t mistake that for reality, and neither does she mistake anything else for reality, and that is how she knows that she is reasonable.” The sentence reflected my emotions and touched me deeply.(我第一次读门罗的作品是在二十多岁快结束时。这些年来，我一再重读她的作品。而在这些重读之间，我的生活不断发生变化：结婚、换工作、生养两个孩子、在六年内先后失去他们，直到现在，我仍然感到悲伤。我最后一次读门罗的作品是在2022年夏天，那时我们全家在日内瓦湖附近度假。当时我已经失去了一个孩子，但我还不知道接下来会发生什么。我清楚地记得，当一对天鹅轻松地游过我身旁时，我划下了一句话：“她没有把这当成现实，也没有把其他任何东西当成现实，这就是她知道自己是理智的原因。”这句话反映了我的情绪，深深地触动了我)”可知，本段主要讲述了作者自己阅读门罗作品的经历以及这些作品对自己生活的影响，讲述了作者的个人阅读之旅。故选D项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“I clearly remember the moment I underlined a sentence when a pair of swans moved effortlessly past me: “She doesn’t mistake that for reality, and neither does she mistake anything else for reality, and that is how she knows that she is reasonable.” The sentence reflected my emotions and touched me deeply.(我清楚地记得，当一对天鹅轻松地游过我身旁时，我划下了一句话：“她没有把这当成现实，也没有把其他任何东西当成现实，这就是她知道自己是理智的原因。”这句话反映了我的情绪，深深地触动了我)”可知，作者划线的原因是这句话反映了她的感受，深深地触动了她。故选A项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“Rereading the passage today, I can’t say I am more clear-headed than I was then. Only, I’ve come further in life, with new knowledge about what is called reality.(今天重读这篇文章，我不能说我头脑比那时更清醒了。只是，我在生活中走得更远，对所谓的现实有了新的认识)”和最后一段中“Rereading Munro is demanding — it asks the readers not to shy away from life; rewarding, too, as I am certain many of Munro’s readers will agree.(重读门罗的作品是要求很高的——它要求读者不要逃避生活；同时也是很有回报的，我相信门罗的许多读者都会同意这一点)”可知，作者认为门罗的作品能带给自己新的认知，能带来很高的回报，这说明作者对门罗的作品持欣赏的态度。故选D项。 D It’s no secret that social media serves as a platform for self-expression, where individuals share pieces of their lives, from major events to everyday routines. However, recent research suggests that posting about one’s workout achievements on social media may show more about personalities than just devotion to fitness. A study conducted by Brunel University London found a connection between frequent workout-related posts and narcissistic(自恋的) tendencies. According to Kevin Sloan, a psychologist at Beaumont’s Weight Control Centers, individuals with narcissistic personalities are more likely to engage in self-promotion, seeking admiration from others. While sharing workout updates may bring about positive reinforcement (强化) in the form of likes and comments, it also reflects a deeper desire for external appreciation. However, not all who share their fitness journey on social media are driven only by narcissism. For a majority of people, posting serves as a form of accountability, a way to publicly aim for their goals and receive support from friends and followers. “Complete dependence on social media for accountability can result in individuals being dishonest, sharing inaccurate information to maintain their image,” said Kevin Sloan. Experts recommend a balanced approach to accountability, combining social support with self-monitoring. While apps and online platforms can provide visual demonstration of progress, joining in organized programs or partnering with like-minded individuals can offer true accountability and encouragement. Recognizing the limitations of focusing only on external appreciation and numerical (数字的) progress is of great significance. True lifestyle change requires self-awareness and flexibility in the face of challenges. Rather than focusing on weight loss or physical appearance, individuals should attach importance to overall well-being, such as improved patience, energy levels, and life balance. Only by shifting the focus from external appreciation to internal achievement can individuals develop a healthier relationship with fitness and social media. 12. What does posting about workout progress show according to the recent research? A. Fitness passion. B. Personal characteristics. C. An impact on one’s personalities. D. A common way for self-expression. 13. What is the problem of relying only on social media? A. Lower motivation. B. Lack of honesty. C. Overuse of social media. D. Ineffective workout. 14. What should people focus on to make a real lifestyle change? A. Overall health and wellness. B. External praise and support. C. Daily exercise and strict diets. D. Weight loss and physical looks. 15. What is the structure of the passage? A. B. C. D. 【答案】12 B 13. B 14. A 15. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文，文章主要讲的是最近的研究表明，在社交媒体上发布自己的健身成就贴可能更多地反映了一个人的个性，而不仅仅是对健身的投入以及发帖的原因及专家们的建议。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“However, recent research suggests that posting about one’s workout achievements on social media may show more about personalities than just devotion to fitness.(然而，最近的研究表明，在社交媒体上发布自己的健身成就可能更多地反映了一个人的个性，而不仅仅是对健身的投入。)”可知最近的研究表明发布关于锻炼进展的帖子更多地显示了一个人的个性。故选B项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段““Complete dependence on social media for accountability can result in individuals being dishonest, sharing inaccurate information to maintain their image.” said Kevin Sloan.(“完全依赖社交媒体来问责可能会导致个人不诚实，分享不准确的信息来维护自己的形象。”Kevin Sloan说。)”可知只依赖于社交媒体有可能会导致诚信缺失。故选B项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“True lifestyle change requires self-awareness and flexibility in the face of challenges. Rather than focusing on weight loss or physical appearance, individuals should attach importance to overall well-being, such as improved patience, energy levels, and life balance.(真正的生活方式改变需要面对挑战时的自我意识和灵活性。与其专注于减肥或外貌，个人应该重视整体的健康，比如提高耐心、能量水平和生活平衡。)”可知为了真正改变生活方式人们应该关注整体的健康状况。故选A项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。文章第一段 “However, recent research suggests that posting about one’s workout achievements on social media may show more about personalities than just devotion to fitness.(然而，最近的研究表明，在社交媒体上发布自己的健身成就可能更多地反映了一个人的个性，而不仅仅是对健身的投入。)提出在社交媒体上发布健身贴会更多地反应一个人的个性而不仅仅是健身成就的话题，文章第二段“A study conducted by Brunel University London found a connection between frequent workout-related posts and narcissistic(自恋的) tendencies.(伦敦布鲁内尔大学进行的一项研究发现，频繁发布与健身相关的帖子与自恋倾向之间存在联系。)”指出频繁发布与健身相关的帖子与自恋倾向有关系，文章第三段“However, not all who share their fitness journey on social media are driven only by narcissism. For a majority of people, posting serves as a form of accountability, a way to publicly aim for their goals and receive support from friends and followers. (然而，并非所有在社交媒体上分享健身之旅的人都是出于自恋。对大多数人来说，发帖是一种问责制，是一种公开实现目标并获得朋友和粉丝支持的方式。)”指出发帖的另一种原因——对于大多数人来说发帖是一种公开实现目标并获得朋友和粉丝支持的方式，由此可见二、三段分别讲的是网上发布健身贴的两个原因，二者之间为并列关系；文章第四段“Experts recommend a balanced approach to accountability, combining social support with self-monitoring. While apps and online platforms can provide visual demonstration of progress, joining in organized programs or partnering with like-minded individuals can offer true accountability and encouragement.(专家建议采取平衡的问责方式，将社会支持与自我监督相结合。虽然应用程序和在线平台可以提供可视化的进步展示，但加入有组织的项目或与志同道合的人合作可以提供真正的责任和鼓励。)”指出完全依赖于网络会导致诚信缺失，所以专家们建议采取将社会支持与自我监督相结合的平衡问责的方式，所以第四段与二、三段之间为并列关系，文章第五段“True lifestyle change requires self-awareness and flexibility in the face of challenges. Rather than focusing on weight loss or physical appearance, individuals should attach importance to overall well-being, such as improved patience, energy levels, and life balance. Only by shifting the focus from external appreciation to internal achievement can individuals develop a healthier relationship with fitness and social media.(真正的生活方式改变需要面对挑战时的自我意识和灵活性。与其专注于减肥或外貌，个人应该重视整体的健康，比如提高耐心、能量水平和生活平衡。只有将注意力从外在欣赏转移到内在成就上，个人才能与健身和社交媒体建立更健康的关系。)”指出要想真正改变生活方式就必须将注意力从外在欣赏转移到内在成就上，只有这样个人才能与健身和社交媒体建立更健康的关系，对全文进行总结。纵观全文，整篇文章是总——分——总的结构。故选B项。 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。 We promise ourselves that this time, we will not delay something. We make lists, buy journals, try new apps, but no matter what, we often end up falling into the same cycle of delay and avoidance — putting things off, day after day. In fact, frequent procrastination (拖延症) may negatively affect your personal, school, or work lives. ___16___ Identify small goals. Set a goal to work on something for a short, fixed amount of time. ___17___ At the end of each workday, make a list of six things to work on the following day. List them out in order of true importance. Deal with those things and only those things the next day. Use natural patterns to rank tasks. If you’re a morning person, do important tasks in the morning. ___18___ This way, you can ensure that your most productive hours are spent on your most important tasks. ___19___ Research shows self-forgiveness can help you cope with procrastination-related stress. Take a few moments at the end of your workday to reflect not only on your professional highlights, but also to consider moments where you made yourself proud. Remember every success is just that: a success! Plan ahead. ___20___ Arrange vacations ahead of time and put systems in place with co-workers so that you can work toward your time away and feel secure that all your goals at work are met. A. Forgive all your mistakes. B. Don’t be too hard on yourself. C. But with some intention and effort, it is possible to fight it. D. Setting a short-term goal helps you measure your progress easily. E. To avoid procrastinating on wellness and rest, schedule in advance. F. If you want to be more organized, consider trying the Ivy Lee method. G. If you feel sleepy around noon, use that time to arrange your list for tomorrow. 【答案】16. C 17. F 18. G 19. B 20. E 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章就如何克服拖延症提出建议。 【16题详解】 前文“We make lists, buy journals, try new apps, but no matter what, we often end up falling into the same cycle of delay and avoidance — putting things off, day after day. In fact, frequent procrastination(拖延症) may negatively affect your personal, school, or work lives.(我们列出清单，购买期刊，尝试新的应用程序，但不管怎样，我们往往会陷入同样的拖延和回避循环——日复一日地拖延。事实上，经常拖延可能会对你的个人、学校或工作生活产生负面影响。)”讲述了拖延的难以克服以及影响，下文分条提供了一些建议，由此可知，空处应承上启下，C项“但是，只要有一些决心和努力，就有可能克服它。”符合题意。故选C。 【17题详解】 前文“Identify small goals. Set a goal to work on something for a short, fixed amount of time.(确定小目标。设定一个目标，在短的确定时间内完成某件事。)”讲述了要确定小目标，后文“At the end of each workday, make a list of six things to work on the following day. List them out in order of true importance. Deal with those things and only those things the next day.(在每个工作日结束时，列出第二天要做的六件事。按真正重要的顺序列出。处理那些事情，第二天只处理那些事情。)”提到每天工作结束后列出第二天要做的六件事，由此可知，空处应提出列小目标的具体建议，F选项“如果你想要更有条理，可以考虑尝试Ivy Lee方法。”中提到的Ivy Lee method正是一种组织和管理任务的方法，与这段内容相符。故选F。 【18题详解】 根据前文“Use natural patterns to rank tasks. If you’re a morning person, do important tasks in the morning.(利用自然模式对任务进行分等级。如果你是一个爱早起的人，那么在早上做一些重要的事情。)”可知，空处应讲述在其他情况下可以做的事情，G项“如果你中午感到困倦，可以利用那段时间安排明天的任务。”讲述了可以在困倦的时候安排明天的任务，这项工作不需要太多精力，符合题意。故选G。 【19题详解】 空处是本段主旨句。根据下文“Research shows self-forgiveness can help you cope with procrastination-related stress.(研究表明，自我宽恕可以帮助你应对与拖延相关的压力。)”可知，本段主要讲述了要对自己宽容一些，B项“不要对自己太苛刻。”与后面提到的自我宽恕相呼应，强调了不要过于责备自己，而是要学会自我宽恕。故选B。 【20题详解】 该段标题为“Plan ahead.(提前计划。)”，后文“Arrange vacations ahead of time and put systems in place with co-workers so that you can work toward your time away and feel secure that all your goals at work are met.(提前安排假期，与同事一起让系统就位，这样你就可以在休假期间工作，并确保所有工作目标都能实现。)”提到了安排假期和与同事合作以确保工作目标的实现，所以空处应讲述提前计划，E项“为了避免在健康和休息上拖延，提前安排计划。”符合题意，故选E。 第三部分：语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15分小题，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。 Salman Nawaz Dhair, an experienced engineer at Larsen and Toubro, quit his job to become an ordinary taxi driver for people in emergencies.

Each trip felt like a small but significant part of my routine. The modest store, with its narrow aisles and familiar shelves, became a constant comfort in my life. One of the main reasons this store was so special to me was because of Brian, the man who sorted the goods. Brian had a way of making everyone feel welcome. Every visit began with his heartfelt greeting, “Hello there!” His enthusiasm made me feel like a long-lost friend, not just a regular customer. He had a genuine smile that could brighten anyone’s day, and his eyes always twinkled with kindness. No matter how busy he was, he always made sure to give everyone in line a friendly nod or a word of encouragement. Brian’s presence added warmth to the store, making each shopping trip a pleasant experience. His cheerful manner and friendly nature were like a ray of sunshine on even the darkest days. I later learned from a friend that Brian had been in a severe car accident in high school. He had spent a long time in a coma and was lucky to be alive. Though he made a remarkable recovery, he never fully got back all his abilities. I noticed that his right hand would sometimes shake slightly, and he walked with a slight limp. Despite this, Brian was always cheerful and seemed to have an endless supply of kindness. His positive attitude was truly inspiring. One evening, after an exhausting day at work, I was wandering through the rows, picking up something for dinner. I was tired and starving, and when I reached for a jar of spaghetti sauce, my hold slipped. The jar broke on the floor, and the sight of the mess upset me. The stress of the day, combined with my exhaustion, was too much to bear. Defeated, I broke down and burst into tears. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右; 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 “It’s okay. Accidents happen.” Brian appeared out of nowhere. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ That incident marked a turning point for me. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】“It’s okay. Accidents happen.” Brian appeared out of nowhere. His calm voice and reassuring smile immediately soothed my distress. He gently guided me to a nearby bench and asked if I was hurt. When I told him I was just overwhelmed, he listened patiently, offering words of comfort and understanding. Brian then cleaned up the mess without hesitation, making sure I didn’t feel any further embarrassment. His compassion in that moment was overwhelming. That incident marked a turning point for me. Realizing the profound impact Brian had on my life, I began to appreciate the small yet meaningful interactions we often overlook in our daily routines. From then on, I made it a point to copy his warmth wherever I went, understanding that every act of kindness can make a world of difference to someone. Brian’s spirit continues to inspire me, reminding me of the power of positivity and compassion in every walk of life. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述作者几乎每天都会光顾旧镇的一家杂货店。店中的布货员布莱恩以他独特的热情让每个人都感到受欢迎，他的存在为这家小店增添了温暖。后来，作者得知布莱恩曾遭遇严重车祸并长时间昏迷，虽奇迹般康复，但身体留下了后遗症。尽管如此，布莱恩依然保持乐观和善良。一天晚上，主人公因工作疲惫不堪，在店内不慎打碎了一瓶番茄酱，情绪崩溃而哭泣。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“‘没关系。意外随时会发生。’布莱恩不知从哪里冒了出来的。”可知，第一段可描写布莱恩的安慰和体贴让作者深受感动。 ②由第二段首句内容“那件事对我来说是一个转折点。”可知，第二段可描写受布莱恩的影响，作者开始模仿他的善良和积极。 2.续写线索：安慰减轻了作者的痛苦——同情心胜过了一切——意识到布莱恩的影响——模仿他的温暖——布莱恩的精神一直激励着作者 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①出现：appear/show up ②减轻：soothe/relieve ③带领：guide/lead 情绪类 ①尴尬：embarrassment/awkwardness ②同情：compassion/sympathy 【点睛】[高分句型1] He gently guided me to a nearby bench and asked if I was hurt.(运用了if引导宾语从句) [高分句型2] When I told him I was just overwhelmed, he listened patiently, offering words of comfort and understanding.(运用了when引导时间状语从句，省略引导词that的宾语从句和现在分词作伴随状语) [高分句型3] From then on, I made it a point to copy his warmth wherever I went, understanding that every act of kindness can make a world of difference to someone.(运用了wherever引导的让步状语从句和that引导宾语从句) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 赣州市2023~2024学年度第二学期期末考试 高一英语试卷 （本卷满分150分，考试时间120分钟） 注意事项： 1.答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在答题卡上。 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。 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 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，并标在试卷的相应位置。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。 1.

Toys were so foreign to him that he would shake in fear. He would often spend hours by himself hiding in rooms that I wasn’t in, or in his corner. Play was something he didn’t understand either. Two years ago, my husband and I adopted a Bichon named Freddie. Freddie is the polar opposite of Motley. He is vigorous and cannot stay in one spot for more than a minute or two. He loves chasing toys and playing with us. He is interested in everything. Taking walks is his favorite activity. At first, Motley wanted nothing to do with him. Freddie was determined. He kept trying to play with Motley, until Motley finally caught on, and for the first time in his life he engaged in play. Motley was confused as to why Freddie was interested in chasing toys. One day, Motley ran after one of them and held it in his mouth. He didn’t know what to do with it, but it was a start. Motley began chasing Freddie around, so he wasn’t in a corner by himself as much. As soon as Motley figured out that Freddie was getting to spend more time outside, he became interested in walking. Some days he is excited enough to walk that he is suddenly pulling us to the sidewalk. Motley learns new things from Freddie every day and is a completely new dog. We adopted Freddie as a present for ourselves, but he turned out to be more of a present for Motley. 4. Which of the following can be used to describe Motley from Paragraph 1? A. Playful and curious. B. Brave and loyal. C. Frightened and distant. D. Rude and unfriendly. 5. What does the underlined word “vigorous” mean in paragraph 2? A. Sharp. B. Energetic. C. Lovely. D. Smart. 6. What can we know about Motley after Freddie’s arrival? A. He became active. B. He was better at hiding. C. He was loyal to his owners. D. He became a quicker learner. 7. What could be the best title for the text? A. A Journey to Joy B. A Story of Self-discovery C. An Unexpected Gift D. A Tale of New Adventures C Two days after Alice Munro died, I went to an event in New York and found myself among strangers. A woman asked me if I’d heard that the great “Janet Munro” had died. Janet? The confusion was cleared up, and another woman told me that Munro wrote only stories, not novels. Next came the usual question, which people often ask of someone who writes novels and stories: “Which is easier for you?” Easy? That’s an adjective that I’ve never connected with literature. I felt uneasy, thinking that these people might only know Munro for her fame. For a moment I wanted to ask about their favorite Munro story, but I did not. Because I wouldn’t have known the answer, either. I first read Munro in my late 20s. Over the years I have become a revisitor of her writing. And between the revisits life kept changing: marriage, different jobs, giving birth to and parenting two children, losing them six years apart, and now, still feeling sad. I last read Munro in the summer of 2022, on a family holiday near Lake Geneva. I had lost one child then; I did not yet know what was to come. I clearly remember the moment I underlined a sentence when a pair of swans moved effortlessly past me: “She doesn’t mistake that for reality, and neither does she mistake anything else for reality, and that is how she knows that she is reasonable.” The sentence reflected my emotions and touched me deeply. Rereading the passage today, I can’t say I am more clear-headed than I was then. Only, I’ve come further in life, with new knowledge about what is called reality. Stories, at least the kind Munro had written in her career that lasted more than 40 years, are life itself. Rereading Munro is demanding — it asks the readers not to shy away from life; rewarding, too, as I am certain many of Munro’s readers will agree. 8. What does the author think of the people at the event? A. They focused on Munro’s novels. B. They were professionals in literature. C. They knew a lot about Munro’s life. D. They hadn’t read Munro’s works deeply. 9. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about? A. The themes in Munro’s writing. B. Munro’s influence on other writers. C. The author’s favorite Munro story. D. The author’s personal reading journey. 10. Why did the author underline the sentence about reality? A. It mirrored her feelings. B. It was a famous saying. C. It was the only part she liked. D. It inspired her to reread it. 11. What is the author’s attitude towards Munro’s stories? A. Uncertain. B. Critical. C. Objective. D. Appreciative. D It’s no secret that social media serves as a platform for self-expression, where individuals share pieces of their lives, from major events to everyday routines. However, recent research suggests that posting about one’s workout achievements on social media may show more about personalities than just devotion to fitness. A study conducted by Brunel University London found a connection between frequent workout-related posts and narcissistic(自恋的) tendencies. According to Kevin Sloan, a psychologist at Beaumont’s Weight Control Centers, individuals with narcissistic personalities are more likely to engage in self-promotion, seeking admiration from others. While sharing workout updates may bring about positive reinforcement (强化) in the form of likes and comments, it also reflects a deeper desire for external appreciation. However, not all who share their fitness journey on social media are driven only by narcissism. For a majority of people, posting serves as a form of accountability, a way to publicly aim for their goals and receive support from friends and followers. “Complete dependence on social media for accountability can result in individuals being dishonest, sharing inaccurate information to maintain their image,” said Kevin Sloan. Experts recommend a balanced approach to accountability, combining social support with self-monitoring. While apps and online platforms can provide visual demonstration of progress, joining in organized programs or partnering with like-minded individuals can offer true accountability and encouragement. Recognizing the limitations of focusing only on external appreciation and numerical (数字的) progress is of great significance.

Each trip felt like a small but significant part of my routine. The modest store, with its narrow aisles and familiar shelves, became a constant comfort in my life. One of the main reasons this store was so special to me was because of Brian, the man who sorted the goods. Brian had a way of making everyone feel welcome. Every visit began with his heartfelt greeting, “Hello there!” His enthusiasm made me feel like a long-lost friend, not just a regular customer. He had a genuine smile that could brighten anyone’s day, and his eyes always twinkled with kindness. No matter how busy he was, he always made sure to give everyone in line a friendly nod or a word of encouragement. Brian’s presence added warmth to the store, making each shopping trip a pleasant experience. His cheerful manner and friendly nature were like a ray of sunshine on even the darkest days. I later learned from a friend that Brian had been in a severe car accident in high school. He had spent a long time in a coma and was lucky to be alive. Though he made a remarkable recovery, he never fully got back all his abilities. I noticed that his right hand would sometimes shake slightly, and he walked with a slight limp. Despite this, Brian was always cheerful and seemed to have an endless supply of kindness. His positive attitude was truly inspiring. One evening, after an exhausting day at work, I was wandering through the rows, picking up something for dinner. I was tired and starving, and when I reached for a jar of spaghetti sauce, my hold slipped. The jar broke on the floor, and the sight of the mess upset me. The stress of the day, combined with my exhaustion, was too much to bear. Defeated, I broke down and burst into tears. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右; 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 “It’s okay. Accidents happen.” Brian appeared out of nowhere. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ That incident marked a turning point for me. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
