But I became fully attentive on a recent morning once I realized the entire newscast was dedicated to local wildlife. There was something about the pack of some 30 to 50 javelinas (野猪) that ruined a golf course near Sedona, Arizona, followed by talk of the recent sighting of a jaguar (美洲虎), a species that ranged across Arizona and Sonora, Mexico, until construction of the border wall blocked the way. Finally, there was an update on Mexican wolf reintroduction efforts in New Mexico and Arizona. The results were mixed: Nine of the wolves had died or been killed recently. As I sat in my car, listening to the news, I felt helpless, even mournful. What would it take for most of us to understand that the javelinas’ behavior on that heavily irrigated golf course in the desert was a sign that maybe the course shouldn’t be in the desert to begin with? The way I saw it, the javelinas weren’t invading (入侵) the site; they were reclaiming it. After all, the javelinas’ needs—for food and space—are more basic than a few privileged humans’ desire to play golf. As for the Arizona Mexican wolf pup reintroduction effort that I heard about in the news, for the past 25 years, scientists have been working hard to restore the native wolf population, and yet are unable to remove its greatest threat. Today, almost 250 Mexican wolves are believed to be in the wild, and every year, humans illegally kill one out of ten. The wolf recovery effort is necessary, but it’s extremely difficult because we humans keep getting in the way. I need to tackle my helplessness, because helplessness leads to no longer wanting to take care of what matters most. Therefore, I think that it must be a good sign that my local news now regularly covers the challenges of coexistence and possible solutions to our problems. That’s progress and fuels my hope. 4. What is the morning news about? A. Dangers of local wildlife. B. Efforts to reintroduce wildlife. C. Issues of human-wildlife coexistence. D. Distribution of wildlife around the world. 5. Why did the javelinas destroy the golf course according to the author? A. To meet basic needs. B. To protect the desert. C. To oppose golf playing. D. To attack human beings. 6. What do we know about the Mexican wolves? A. They are bound to go extinct. B. Humans threaten their survival. C. Their number has greatly increased. D. 10% of them have been reintroduced. 7. What is the author’s attitude to the challenges mentioned in the last paragraph? A Unclear. B. Negative. C. Optimistic. D. Indifferent. C Emotions come in many ways: facial expressions, gestures, tone of voice and so on. Susan Goldin-Meadow sums up how people use gestures with speech in her new book, Thinking With Your Hands. It is a masterly tour through a lifetime’s research. Virtually everyone gestures. Like words, gestures are fixed within cultures and accompany speech as a second channel of information. Test subjects watch a film in which a cat runs but they are told to lie and say it jumps. They do so in words, while their hands make a running motion. Gesture isn’t sign language. Sign languages have clearly defined words and grammar, and differ geographically just as spoken ones do. Professor Goldin-Meadow spends a lot of time on home sign — systems of signs typically developed by deaf children in hearing families who aren’t exposed to a conventional sign language. Such children are essentially inventing rough but rich languages out of nothing, with features such as fixed word order and grammatical structures much like those in fully qualified languages. Returning to conventional gesture the author keeps her focus on child development. Some students who fail at a tricky mathematics problem may gesture to indicate they begin to understand it; they should be taught differently from the ones whose gestures suggest that they are entirely at sea. Children who still use only one word at a time may combine a word and a gesture; this successfully predicts that two-word phrases are just around the corner. And those taught to move their hands about when discussing a moral question from several angles soon start to see the problem from different points of view. The final section of the book offers practical advice. Teachers are encouraged to use gestures and to observe those their students make. Parents are taught to fill in the word a child misses when they gesture rather than adding information. Those who gesture less are more likely to need early intervention. Doctors can be trained to look out for gestures meaning that patients are thinking something they aren't ready to say. 8. What does the test show in paragraph 2? A. Every country has its own gestures. B. A lie detection is used in many areas. C. Cats are well skilled at using gestures. D. Gestures can reflect human real thoughts. 9. What does the underlined phrase “at sea” mean in paragraph 4? A. at work B. at a loss C. in the analysis D. in deep thought 10. Why should a teacher observe the kids’ gestures in class? A. To predict the final outcome. B. To prevent kids from failure. C. To see the problems from all sides. D. To conduct the targeted teaching. 11. Where is the text most probably taken from? A. An introduction to a book. B. A guidebook to a language. C. An essay on the art of gesture. D. A review of sign language. D Is it true that our brain alone is responsible for human cognition (认知)? What about our body? Is it possible for thought and behaviour to originate from somewhere other than our brain? Psychologists who study Embodied Cognition (EC) ask similar questions. The EC theory suggests our body is also responsible for thinking or problem-solving. More precisely, the mind shapes the body and the body shapes the mind in equal measure. If you think about it for a moment, it makes total sense. When you smell something good or hear amusing sounds, certain emotions are awakened. Think about how newborns use their senses to understand the world around them. They don’t have emotions so much as needs—they don’t feel sad, they’re just hungry and need food. Even unborn babies can feel their mothers’ heartbeats and this has a calming effect. In the real world, they cry when they’re cold and then get hugged. That way, they start to associate being warm with being loved. Understandably, theorists have been arguing for years and still disagree on whether the brain is the nerve centre that operates the rest of the body. Older Western philosophers and mainstream language researchers believe this is fact, while EC theorises that the brain and body are working together as an organic supercomputer, processing everything and forming your reactions. Further studies have backed up the mind-body interaction. In one experiment, test subjects were asked to judge people after being handed a hot or a cold drink. They all made warm evaluations when their fingertips perceived warmth rather than coolness. And it works the other way too. In another study. subjects’ fingertip temperatures were measured after being “included” in or “rejected” from a group task. Those who were included felt physically warmer. For further proof, we can look at the metaphors (比喻) that we use without even thinking. A kind and sympathetic person is frequently referred to as one with a soft heart and someone who is very strong and calm in difficult situations is often described as solid as a rock. And this kind of metaphorical use is common across languages. Now that you have the knowledge of mind-body interaction, why not use it? If you’re having a bad day, a warm cup of tea will give you a flash of pleasure. If you know you’re physically cold, warm up before making any interpersonal decisions. 12. According to the author, what is the significance of EC? A. It brings us closer to the truth in human cognition. B It offers a clearer picture of the shape of human brain. C. It reveals the major role of the mind in human cognition. D. It facilitates our understanding of the origin of psychology. 13. Where does the newborns’ understanding of their surroundings start from? A. Their personal looks. B. Their mental needs. C. Their inner emotions. D. Their physical feelings. 14. What does the author intend to prove by citing the metaphors in Paragraph 5? A. Human speech is alive with metaphors. B. Human senses have effects on thinking. C. Human language is shaped by visual images. D. Human emotions are often compared to natural materials. 15. What is the author’s purpose in writing the last paragraph? A. To deepen the readers’ understanding of EC. B. To encourage the reader to put EC into practice. C. To guide the reader onto the path to career success. D. To share with the reader ways to release their emotions. 第二节 （共 5 小题；每小题 2.5 分，满分 12.5 分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Are you nervous when sitting in the exam hall? Do worrying thoughts keep you awake at night? You may have experienced at least one of these situations. ____16____There are many ways to help reduce this uncomfortable feeling. Here are three simple techniques that could make a difference. •____17____ Do you jump out of bed the moment the alarm rings every morning? Or do you check your phone the moment your eyes are open? Perhaps the next time you get up in the morning, you can try this. Slowly get up and sit at your bed for a few minutes. ____18____ You can shut your eyes if you feel that helps. The important thing is not to let any hurried thoughts fill your mind. Just be present, with no thoughts of the past or future. In these few quiet minutes to yourself, you will feel refreshed! •Eat mindfully Meals today seem to be in the company of more than just knives and forks. In many cases, we have our headphones right next to the served food, and our eyes are busy with the world within them. Such actions can result in a stomachache and overworked brain. ____19____ Slow down and let your eyes focus on the different colors, and allow your tongue to taste different flavors. Chew the food well, and feel the sensations. This is called mindful eating. It helps you to be aware of the food you put in your mouth. •Get moving Do you often lock yourself in your room, finishing up your school work or playing video games? ____20____ Playing sports or simply cycling helps reduce the body’s stress and lift your mood. It has long been studied by scientists that even five minutes of exercise can have anti-anxiety effects! These are three simple ways to feel less anxious and stressed. You would need to maintain these practices, of course. However, when you see the improvements in your mental well-being, it’s worth the efforts. Give them a try. Your mind will thank you for it. A. Sit at your bed B. Live in the present C. Let the body and mind feel the peace. D. Instead, take mealtime as a time to enjoy your food. E. Then it is time to get out of the chair and have some fun. F. This, in turn, has the effect of bringing your body into a state of deep relaxation. G. It is a sign that anxiety is growing in your body, and your brain is asking for help! 第三部分 语言运用（共四节，满分40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。 In 2005, Calvin Echevarria was leading a successful life with two jobs, a new house, and a young daughter.

Our funds were running low, so we had two goals today. Firstly, try out our new “Smile!” signs and see how much kindness and joy we could spread. Secondly, raise a pitiful $20 a piece by doing street performances. Singing, drawing cartoons, storytelling, as long as it is enough for the trip to Portland. We weren’t sure how people would react to our signs. I nervously raised one up and shouted “Hi there!” to a young couple. They looked over, momently confused, then read my sign and broke into smiles. It worked. Before long, our signs were popular. Strangers stopped to ask us about them. The signs are more than an invitation to “Smile!”. They’re an excuse to connect with strangers and to remember this world is full of good people. We got so wrapped up in our “Smile!” project that we forgot our other goal. Before we knew it, the sun was setting, and we had no money for our trip to Portland. Then we noticed that a blind musician was playing guitar when suddenly a passing crowd kicked over his change jar. Change and cash scattered everywhere. Before we could run over, another man rushed to collect all the money for him. And we met the dogooder, Jared. “We want to praise you on your good deed,” I said. Jared looked at my signs curiously. We told him about our road trip, which reminded him of something similar he did when he was young. He seemed moved. 注意： 1. 只需续写第一段，词数应为100左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 提醒：注意一二两段的衔接。 Para 1: We sat down to watch a musician play the guitar while we thought about our second goal. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Para 2: Our little band of five attracted a large audience. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 1-5 ABACA　 6-10 BCBAC　 11-15 CBBAC　 16-20 CBABC 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 高一下3月阶段性检测 英语 2024.3 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.

My focus often changes as I stare out at the road ahead. But I became fully attentive on a recent morning once I realized the entire newscast was dedicated to local wildlife. There was something about the pack of some 30 to 50 javelinas (野猪) that ruined a golf course near Sedona, Arizona, followed by talk of the recent sighting of a jaguar (美洲虎), a species that ranged across Arizona and Sonora, Mexico, until construction of the border wall blocked the way. Finally, there was an update on Mexican wolf reintroduction efforts in New Mexico and Arizona. The results were mixed: Nine of the wolves had died or been killed recently. As I sat in my car, listening to the news, I felt helpless, even mournful. What would it take for most of us to understand that the javelinas’ behavior on that heavily irrigated golf course in the desert was a sign that maybe the course shouldn’t be in the desert to begin with? The way I saw it, the javelinas weren’t invading (入侵) the site; they were reclaiming it. After all, the javelinas’ needs—for food and space—are more basic than a few privileged humans’ desire to play golf. As for the Arizona Mexican wolf pup reintroduction effort that I heard about in the news, for the past 25 years, scientists have been working hard to restore the native wolf population, and yet are unable to remove its greatest threat. Today, almost 250 Mexican wolves are believed to be in the wild, and every year, humans illegally kill one out of ten. The wolf recovery effort is necessary, but it’s extremely difficult because we humans keep getting in the way. I need to tackle my helplessness, because helplessness leads to no longer wanting to take care of what matters most. Therefore, I think that it must be a good sign that my local news now regularly covers the challenges of coexistence and possible solutions to our problems. That’s progress and fuels my hope. 4. What is the morning news about? A. Dangers of local wildlife. B. Efforts to reintroduce wildlife. C. Issues of human-wildlife coexistence. D. Distribution of wildlife around the world. 5. Why did the javelinas destroy the golf course according to the author? A. To meet basic needs. B. To protect the desert. C. To oppose golf playing. D. To attack human beings. 6. What do we know about the Mexican wolves? A. They are bound to go extinct. B. Humans threaten their survival. C. Their number has greatly increased. D. 10% of them have been reintroduced. 7. What is the author’s attitude to the challenges mentioned in the last paragraph? A. Unclear. B. Negative. C. Optimistic. D. Indifferent. 【答案】4. C 5. A 6. B 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。作者通过早新闻了解到人类和野生动物共存的问题以及作者对这一问题的看法。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句“But I became fully attentive on a recent morning once I realized the entire newscast was dedicated to local wildlife.(但在最近的一个早晨，当我意识到整个新闻节目都是关于当地野生动物的，我就全神贯注了。)”和第二段“There was something about the pack of some 30 to 50 javelinas (野猪) that ruined a golf course near Sedona, Arizona, followed by talk of the recent sighting of a jaguar (美洲虎), a species that ranged across Arizona and Sonora, Mexico, until construction of the border wall blocked the way. Finally, there was an update on Mexican wolf reintroduction efforts in New Mexico and Arizona. The results were mixed: Nine of the wolves had died or been killed recently.(一群大约有30到50只的野猪毁坏了亚利桑那州塞多纳附近的一个高尔夫球场，接着是最近看到美洲虎的传闻，这种物种在亚利桑那州和墨西哥索诺拉之间活动，直到修建边境墙挡住了道路。最后，在新墨西哥州和亚利桑那州重新引入墨西哥狼的努力有了最新进展。结果喜忧参半:其中9只狼已经死亡或最近被杀。)”可知，作者听到的早间新闻涉及到人类与野生动物共存的问题。故选C项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段的句子“The way I saw it, the javelinas weren’t invading (入侵) the site; they were reclaiming it. After all, the javelinas’ needs—for food and space—are more basic than a few privileged humans’ desire to play golf.(在我看来，野猪并没有入侵这个球场；他们正在收回它。毕竟，野猪对食物和空间的需求比少数特权阶层打高尔夫球的欲望更基本。)”可知，野猪摧毁高尔夫球场是为了满足它们的基本需求。故选A项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段的最后两句“Today, almost 250 Mexican wolves are believed to be in the wild, and every year, humans illegally kill one out of ten. The wolf recovery effort is necessary, but it’s extremely difficult because we humans keep getting in the way.(今天，大约有250只墨西哥狼被认为生活在野外，每年，人类非法杀死十分之一的狼。狼的恢复工作是必要的，但这是非常困难的，因为我们人类一直在挡道。)”可知，人类威胁着墨西哥狼的生存。故选B项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段的句子“Therefore, I think that it must be a good sign that my local news now regularly covers the challenges of coexistence and possible solutions to our problems. That’s progress and fuels my hope.(因此，我认为，我的地方新闻现在经常报道共存的挑战和我们问题的可能解决办法，这一定是一个好的迹象。这就是进步，激发了我的希望。)”可以推论出，作者对最后一段提到的挑战持乐观的态度。故选C项。 C Emotions come in many ways: facial expressions, gestures, tone of voice and so on. Susan Goldin-Meadow sums up how people use gestures with speech in her new book, Thinking With Your Hands. It is a masterly tour through a lifetime’s research. Virtually everyone gestures. Like words, gestures are fixed within cultures and accompany speech as a second channel of information. Test subjects watch a film in which a cat runs but they are told to lie and say it jumps. They do so in words, while their hands make a running motion. Gesture isn’t sign language. Sign languages have clearly defined words and grammar, and differ geographically just as spoken ones do. Professor Goldin-Meadow spends a lot of time on home sign — systems of signs typically developed by deaf children in hearing families who aren’t exposed to a conventional sign language. Such children are essentially inventing rough but rich languages out of nothing, with features such as fixed word order and grammatical structures much like those in fully qualified languages. Returning to conventional gesture, the author keeps her focus on child development. Some students who fail at a tricky mathematics problem may gesture to indicate they begin to understand it; they should be taught differently from the ones whose gestures suggest that they are entirely at sea. Children who still use only one word at a time may combine a word and a gesture; this successfully predicts that two-word phrases are just around the corner. And those taught to move their hands about when discussing a moral question from several angles soon start to see the problem from different points of view. The final section of the book offers practical advice. Teachers are encouraged to use gestures and to observe those their students make. Parents are taught to fill in the word a child misses when they gesture rather than adding information. Those who gesture less are more likely to need early intervention. Doctors can be trained to look out for gestures meaning that patients are thinking something they aren't ready to say. 8. What does the test show in paragraph 2? A. Every country has its own gestures. B. A lie detection is used in many areas. C. Cats are well skilled at using gestures. D. Gestures can reflect human real thoughts. 9. What does the underlined phrase “at sea” mean in paragraph 4? A. at work B. at a loss C. in the analysis D. in deep thought 10. Why should a teacher observe the kids’ gestures in class? A. To predict the final outcome. B. To prevent kids from failure. C. To see the problems from all sides. D. To conduct the targeted teaching. 11. Where is the text most probably taken from? A. An introduction to a book. B. A guidebook to a language. C. An essay on the art of gesture. D. A review of sign language. 【答案】8. D 9. B 10. D 11. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章首先指出情感有多种表达方式，引出 Susan Goldin-Meadow 在其新书中对人们如何使用手势与言语的研究。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Test subjects watch a film in which a cat runs but they are told to lie and say it jumps. They do so in words, while their hands make a running motion.(测试对象观看一部猫在跑的电影，但他们被告知要撒谎说猫在跳。他们嘴上这么说，但他们的手却做出了奔跑的动作)”可知，这个测试表明手势能够反映人们真实的想法。故选D项。 【9题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第四段“Some students who fail at a tricky mathematics problem may gesture to indicate they begin to understand it; they should be taught differently from the ones whose gestures suggest that they are entirely….(一些在难题上失败的学生可能会用手势表示他们开始理解了；他们的教学方式应该与那些手势表明他们完全……)”，可以推断，“at sea”在这里的意思是“困惑”或“不知所措”，因为这些学生在数学问题上失败，并且需要不同的教学方法来帮助他们理解。故选B项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Some students who fail at a tricky mathematics problem may gesture to indicate they begin to understand it (一些在难题上失败的学生可能会用手势表示他们开始理解了)”以及第五段“Teachers are encouraged to use gestures and to observe those their students make(鼓励教师使用手势，并观察学生的手势)”可知，老师观察学生的手势是为了进行有针对性的教学。故选D项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Emotions come in many ways: facial expressions, gestures, tone of voice and so on. Susan Goldin-Meadow sums up how people use gestures with speech in her new book, Thinking With Your Hands. It is a masterly tour through a lifetime’s research(情感的表达方式多种多样：面部表情、手势、语调等等。苏珊·戈德因-梅多在她的新书《用手思考》中总结了人们如何结合言语使用手势。这是一次通过一生的研究进行的精湛之旅)”、第二段“Test subjects watch a film in which a cat runs but they are told to lie and say it jumps. They do so in words, while their hands make a running motion.(测试对象观看一部猫在跑的电影，但他们被告知要撒谎说猫在跳。他们嘴上这么说，但他们的手却做出了奔跑的动作)” 第四段“Some students who fail at a tricky mathematics problem may gesture to indicate they begin to understand it (一些在难题上失败的学生可能会用手势表示他们开始理解了)”、第五段“Teachers are encouraged to use gestures and to observe those their students make(鼓励教师使用手势，并观察学生的手势)”以及最后一段“The final section of the book offers practical advice. Teachers are encouraged to use gestures and to observe those their students make. Parents are taught to fill in the word a child misses when they gesture rather than adding information. Those who gesture less are more likely to need early intervention. Doctors can be trained to look out for gestures meaning that patients are thinking something they aren't ready to say(本书的最后一部分提供了实用的建议。鼓励教师使用手势，并观察学生所做的手势。教导家长在孩子做手势时填入他们漏掉的词，而不是添加信息。那些较少使用手势的人更可能需要早期干预。可以培训医生留意表示患者正在思考他们尚未准备好说的事情的手势。)”可知，文章主要介绍了Susan Goldin-Meadow在其新书《Thinking With Your Hands》中关于手势的研究，包括手势的作用、与语言的关系、在儿童发展中的体现以及给教师和家长的建议等，所以本文最有可能出自一本书的介绍。故选A项。 D Is it true that our brain alone is responsible for human cognition (认知)? What about our body? Is it possible for thought and behaviour to originate from somewhere other than our brain? Psychologists who study Embodied Cognition (EC) ask similar questions. The EC theory suggests our body is also responsible for thinking or problem-solving. More precisely, the mind shapes the body and the body shapes the mind in equal measure. If you think about it for a moment, it makes total sense. When you smell something good or hear amusing sounds, certain emotions are awakened. Think about how newborns use their senses to understand the world around them. They don’t have emotions so much as needs—they don’t feel sad, they’re just hungry and need food. Even unborn babies can feel their mothers’ heartbeats and this has a calming effect. In the real world, they cry when they’re cold and then get hugged. That way, they start to associate being warm with being loved. Understandably, theorists have been arguing for years and still disagree on whether the brain is the nerve centre that operates the rest of the body. Older Western philosophers and mainstream language researchers believe this is fact, while EC theorises that the brain and body are working together as an organic supercomputer, processing everything and forming your reactions. Further studies have backed up the mind-body interaction. In one experiment, test subjects were asked to judge people after being handed a hot or a cold drink. They all made warm evaluations when their fingertips perceived warmth rather than coolness. And it works the other way too. In another study. subjects’ fingertip temperatures were measured after being “included” in or “rejected” from a group task. Those who were included felt physically warmer. For further proof, we can look at the metaphors (比喻) that we use without even thinking. A kind and sympathetic person is frequently referred to as one with a soft heart and someone who is very strong and calm in difficult situations is often described as solid as a rock. And this kind of metaphorical use is common across languages. Now that you have the knowledge of mind-body interaction, why not use it? If you’re having a bad day, a warm cup of tea will give you a flash of pleasure. If you know you’re physically cold, warm up before making any interpersonal decisions. 12. According to the author, what is the significance of EC? A. It brings us closer to the truth in human cognition. B. It offers a clearer picture of the shape of human brain. C. It reveals the major role of the mind in human cognition. D. It facilitates our understanding of the origin of psychology. 13. Where does the newborns’ understanding of their surroundings start from? A. Their personal looks. B. Their mental needs. C. Their inner emotions. D. Their physical feelings. 14. What does the author intend to prove by citing the metaphors in Paragraph 5? A. Human speech is alive with metaphors. B. Human senses have effects on thinking. C. Human language is shaped by visual images. D. Human emotions are often compared to natural materials. 15. What is the author’s purpose in writing the last paragraph? A. To deepen the readers’ understanding of EC. B. To encourage the reader to put EC into practice. C. To guide the reader onto the path to career success. D. To share with the reader ways to release their emotions. 【答案】12. A 13. D 14. B 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了心理学家的一项“EC”理论表明，我们不是只有大脑负责人类的认知，我们的身体也负责思考或者解决问题。更准确地说思想塑造身体，身体同等程度地塑造思想。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“The EC theory suggests our body is also responsible for thinking or problem-solving. (EC理论认为我们的身体也负责思考或解决问题。)”可推知，“EC”理论让我们更接近人类认知的真相。故选A。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段“Think about how newborns use their senses to understand the world around them. They don’t have emotions so much as needs—they don’t feel sad, they’re just hungry and need food. (想想新生儿如何用他们的感官来理解周围的世界。他们没有情感，更多的是需要——他们不感到悲伤，他们只是饿了，需要食物。)”可推知，新生儿对周围环境的理解依靠的是身体感觉。故选D。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“For further proof, we can look at the metaphors (比喻) that we use without even thinking. (为了进一步证明，我们可以看看我们不假思索就使用的隐喻。)”和第四段“Further studies have backed up the mind-body interaction. (进一步的研究支持了身心相互作用。)”可知，两个自然段都是为了证明上文第三段“EC”的观点“Older Western philosophers and mainstream language researchers believe this is fact, while EC theorises that the brain and body are working together as an organic supercomputer, processing everything and forming your reactions. (年长的西方哲学家和主流语言研究人员认为这是事实，而“EC”理论认为大脑和身体作为一台有机的超级计算机协同工作，处理一切并形成反应。)”所以，作者想要印证的是人类的感官对思维有影响。故选B。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段第一句话“Now that you have the knowledge of mind-body interaction, why not use it? (既然你已经有了身心互动的知识，为什么不使用它呢？)”以及下文中列举的两种现实生活中的情况“If you’re having a bad day, a warm cup of tea will give you a flash of pleasure. If you know you’re physically cold, warm up before making any interpersonal decisions. (如果你度过了糟糕的一天，一杯热茶会给你带来一丝快乐。如果你知道自己身体很冷，在做任何人际决定之前先热身。)”可推知，最后一段作者的目的是鼓励读者把“EC”理论运用于现实生活中。故选B。 第二节 （共 5 小题；每小题 2.5 分，满分 12.5 分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Are you nervous when sitting in the exam hall?

Our funds were running low, so we had two goals today. Firstly, try out our new “Smile!” signs and see how much kindness and joy we could spread. Secondly, raise a pitiful $20 a piece by doing street performances. Singing, drawing cartoons, storytelling, as long as it is enough for the trip to Portland. We weren’t sure how people would react to our signs. I nervously raised one up and shouted “Hi there!” to a young couple. They looked over, momently confused, then read my sign and broke into smiles. It worked. Before long, our signs were popular. Strangers stopped to ask us about them. The signs are more than an invitation to “Smile!”. They’re an excuse to connect with strangers and to remember this world is full of good people. We got so wrapped up in our “Smile!” project that we forgot our other goal. Before we knew it, the sun was setting, and we had no money for our trip to Portland. Then we noticed that a blind musician was playing guitar when suddenly a passing crowd kicked over his change jar. Change and cash scattered everywhere. Before we could run over, another man rushed to collect all the money for him. And we met the dogooder, Jared. “We want to praise you on your good deed,” I said. Jared looked at my signs curiously. We told him about our road trip, which reminded him of something similar he did when he was young. He seemed moved. 注意： 1. 只需续写第一段，词数应为100左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 提醒：注意一二两段的衔接。 Para 1: We sat down to watch a musician play the guitar while we thought about our second goal. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Para 2: Our little band of five attracted a large audience. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: We sat down to watch a musician play the guitar while we thought about our second goal. It seemed that it was tough to achieve. Now we didn’t have much time to lose. Suddenly, a good idea flashed through my mind. I gathered my courage and walked straight toward the musician and asked him to do us a favor. To our great delight, he enthusiastically supported our money project and agreed to form a band with us. With an empty hat on the ground in front of us, we began our performance. Our little band of five attracted a large audience. We received a storm of applause. A gentleman in his fifties was the first to put some change into our hat. His act of kindness was soon followed by more donations. A little boy, holding his mom’s hand, carefully dropped a coin and gave us the most beautiful smile in the world. Before it was dark, we were sure we had made it. The amount of money gathered totaled $92. What a sweet victory! We thanked the musician and went on with our journey. In the depth of my heart, I would keep these heartwarming moments forever. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者一行人在一次随机的善举和志愿服务公路旅行中因为缺钱从而制定了两个目标：1.尝试对陌生人微笑看看可以传播多少善意和喜悦；2.参加街头表演，筹集20美元。最后，作者一行人在人群中看到了更多的笑脸，感悟到这个世界上充满了我们尚不认识的好人，但是筹集20美元的目标却随着太阳已经下山了还没实现。然后我们遇到了一个盲人音乐家。 【详解】1.段落续写： ① 由第一段首句内容“我们坐下来，一边看音乐家弹吉他，一边想着我们的第二个目标。”可知，第一段可描写作者想到了一个好主意：请音乐家帮忙加入街头表演。这位音乐家表示支持他们筹款项目，于是他们开始了表演。 2.续写线索：想到好主意——鼓起勇气——请求帮忙——热情支持——组成乐队——开始表演 3.词汇激活 行为类 ① 鼓起勇气：gather one’s courage / get up the courage ② 帮某人一个忙：do sb. a favor/ give sb. a hand ③ 开始：begin/start 情绪类 ① 高兴：delight / pleasure/joy ② 热情地：enthusiastically / fervently 【点睛】[高分句型1].
