It all began with a simple game she programmed in her Los Angeles public school’s Grade 2class. Today , at18, the Grade 12 student’s initial curiosity has evolved into a deep-seated desire to use technology to decode (解码) real-world problems. In 2021, she co-developed Megaphone, one of her first apps, to tackle unanswered post-class questions and poor communication about events and announcements. Her problem-solving ability kept building from there. When she took online CPR classes at the start of the pandemic, she figured it couldn’t be just her who was struggling with the steps. So she created an app called CPR Buddy ― a winner in the 2022 Apple Swift Challenge ― which guides users through CPR using vibrations (震动) to regulate breath. After winning the award, Angelina presented her work to Apple CEO Tim Cook, a highlight in her young career, but one she didn’t lose her cool over. “There’s no point putting people on a pedestal (神坛),” she says. The next year, Angelina built an app called Lilac, designed to assist nonEnglish-speaking single parents with resources for housing, job opportunities and translation support. She was inspired by her own experiences as a child of a single mother who immigrated to the US. When Angelina decided to pursue pilot training at the age of 16 she was struck by how difficult it was to find financial support, which encouraged her to create yet another app, Pilot Fast Track, which helps those longing to be pilots find scholarships for flight training. Looking to the future, besides applying to colleges with great labs, Angelina is exploring the field of aerospace cybersecurity and mechatronics ― combining computer science, electrical engineering and mechanical engineering. “There’s not enough optimism in the world,“ she says. “I have also been in situations in my life where I’ve lost a lot of hope. But in the end, it is a mindset, and there are ways in any situation you’re in to make it somewhat better.” 4. What is Angelina’s pursuit? A. To design games for kids. B. To stimulate teen’s curiosity. C. To address problems through technology. D. To find innovative approaches to digital challenges. 5. What can we learn about Angelina from Paragraph 3? A She couldn’t breathe regularly. B. She was inspired by celebrities. C. She replaced CPR with an app. D. She was humble about her success. 6. What was the primary goal of developing Pilot Fast Track? A. To direct pilots’ career paths. B. To help to-be pilots find funds. C. To pair future pilots with airlines. D. To evaluate pilot training schools. 7. What might be the best title? A. Breaking the code B. Bearing growing pains C. Facing life as it is D. Following role models C People have wondered for a long time how their personalities and behaviors are formed. It’s not easy to explain why one person is intelligent and another is not, or why one is cooperative and another is competitive. Social scientists are, of course, extremely interested in these types of questions. They want to explain why we possess certain characteristics and exhibit certain behaviors. There are no clear answers yet, but two distinct schools of thought on the matter have developed. As one might expect, the two approaches are very different from one another, and there is a great deal of debate between supporters of each theory. The controversy is often conveniently referred to as “nature/nurture”. Those who support the “nature” side of the conflict believe that our personalities and behavior patterns are largely determined by biological and genetic factors. That our environment has little, if anything to do with our abilities, characteristics, and behavior is central to this theory. Taken to an extreme, this theory maintains that our behavior is predetermined to such a great degree that we are almost completely governed by our instincts (本能). Supporters of the “nurture” theory, or, as they are often called, behaviorists, claim that our environment is more important than our biologically based instincts in determining how we will act. A behaviorist, B. E. Skinner, sees humans as beings whose behavior is almost completely shaped by their surroundings. The behaviorists’ view of the human being is quite mechanistic; they maintain that, like machines, human beings remain unchanged unless stimulated by the environmental factors. The social and political implications of these two theories are profound. In the United States, for example, blacks often score below whites on standardized intelligence tests. This leads some “nature” supporters to conclude that blacks are genetically inferior to whites. Behaviorists, in contrast, say that the differences in scores are due to the fact that blacks are often deprived of many of the educational and other environmental advantages that whites enjoy, and that, as a result, they do not develop the same responses that whites do. Neither of these theories can yet fully explain human behavior. In fact, it is quite likely that the key to our behavior lies somewhere between these two extremes. That the controversy will continue for a long time is certain. 8. What will the supporters of the “nurture” theory agree with? A. Peter loves talking to strangers because he is friendly. B. Peter loves maths because his father is a maths professor. C. Peter loves detective stories because he enjoys suspense and thrill. D. Peter loves tea because his mother gave it to him since childhood. 9. The underlined word “mechanistic” in paragraph 4 means ________. A. flexible B. rigid C. common D. new 10. Why did the author cite the blacks in the US as an example? A. He wanted to show how the theories have deeply affected the society. B. He tried to prove that both theories need further discussion and research. C. He intended to demonstrate why the blacks need more education and support. D. He attempted to introduce the result of intelligence tests from blacks and whites. 11. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text? A. To introduce some theories. B. To stress genetic factors. C. To solve a racial problem. D. To give further suggestions. D How often is your mind quiet? If you’re a typical human being, the answer is probably very rarely. For most of our days, our attention is focused on external things—the tasks of our jobs, TV programs, or social media interactions. In the moments when our attention isn’t focused externally, it’s usually focused on what is called “thought-chatter”—a stream of mental associations consisting of expectations of the future, memories, daydreams, and so on. But from time to time, we all experience moments when our thought-chatter quiets down, or even disappears altogether. In these moments, we experience a sense of great well-being. We feel a sense of inner harmony. We feel as if we’re free of problems, and feel satisfied with our lives as they are. There are many activities that have the effect of quieting our minds, and so produce a state of well-being. For example, think about what happens when you go walking in the countryside. You might feel stressed when you start out, but slowly, after a couple of miles, your mind begins to settle down. The beauty and stillness of nature attracts your attention and you’re no longer in your thought-chatter. By the end of the walk you feel almost like a different person. You feel more alive, and much happier—largely because your mind is now quiet. This is why people love to look at beautiful works of art. When people see the paintings of Monet or van Gogh, they experience a mind-stopping moment, in which they’re taken out of their thinking minds and experience a sense of great well-being. The strange thing is, though, that most of the time this happens unconsciously (不知不觉地). We usually don’t associate this well-being with a quiet mind. And we usually don’t think of a quiet mind as the aim or result of these activities. Our estimate of how enjoyable an activity is may depend on its mind-stopping capacity. In other words, the very best performances—and the most rewarding activities—are those which are so attractive and intense that they can completely stop our minds. I’m not saying that inner quietness is the only reason why we enjoy these activities. Nevertheless, we should certainly become more aware of the association of a quiet mind with well-being. And at the same time we should be aware that it’s possible for us to consciously and directly create a quiet mind; rather than as a byproduct of certain activities. And in the end we might develop a permanent quiet mind and attain a state of ongoing contentment and harmony. 12. What can be inferred about thought-chatter? A. It requires a lot of practice. B. It might be unpleasant at times. C. It might be a talk with a friend. D. It helps reach a state of silence. 13. What are the examples of activities mentioned in the text mainly about? A. What activities lead to well-being. B. What can be done to reduce stress. C. How we can make our minds quiet. D. How mental quietness leads to well-being. 14. How can we determine how much pleasure an activity can give us? A. By judging how much stress it can increase. B. By judging whether it takes place unconsciously. C. By judging to what extent it can quiet our minds. D. By judging whether it associates with well-being. 15. What does the author intend to highlight in the last paragraph? A. Creating a quiet mind for all time. B. Living a peaceful life permanently. C. Being in harmony with inner quietness. D. Participating in activities for inner quietness. 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。 Artificial Intelligence (AI) geolocation (互联网定位技术) solutions are changing the way researchers track and monitor wildlife, enabling more powerful conservation efforts.

That afternoon, the hot sun was shining brightly, making the tree leaves almost burn and making people’s bodies seem to be on fire. Having nothing interesting to do at home, I decided to go to the pool to enjoy the coolness instead of going swimming. The reason was simple — I still couldn’t swim. I was impatient, and I always failed to do something and suffered losses. So the swimming lesson was put off again and again. Upon arriving at the gym’s pool, I was greeted by a lively scene. Some people just jumped into the water, with hands entering first and the body following in a smooth motion. Some were kicking their legs rhythmically below the surface. All were happy. That was infectious, and I couldn’t help but feel deep admiration. Then I made a decision! Taking a deep breath, I followed their example, closing my eyes and jumping into the “vast water” with a plop (扑通声). At this moment, my head was pointing to the ground and my feet to the sky. When I “plopped” to the bottom, my whole body was swinging hard and my hands and feet lost their ability to feel. I just felt water rushing towards me, and my nose was filled with water. It was very terrible. Suddenly, I was hit by something. I struggled out of the light blue water bit by bit as if being dragged. “That’s horrible!” I shouted 1oudly, and while I was complaining, I suddenly realized that I couldn’t swim in the first place, so why should I be shocked? Just when I decided to stay away from water, someone gently patted my shoulder and said, “Don’t be discouraged, little girl. Look, swimming requires...” The lady introduced herself as Allison. She gave me a “1ecture” on how to hold my breath, how to kick gently, and how to start with floating with the help of a swimming ring, being patient while giving me a demonstration. 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。 “Why not try one more time?” said Allison. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ As the day drew to a close, I still could not swim very well. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2024—2025学年度第一学期高三8月份学情调研 英语试卷 总分：150分 考试时间：120分钟 第一部分听力 （共2节，满分30分） 做题时，请先将答案标在调研卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将调研卷上的答案转涂到客观题答题卡上。 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。 1.

It all began with a simple game she programmed in her Los Angeles public school’s Grade 2class. Today , at18, the Grade 12 student’s initial curiosity has evolved into a deep-seated desire to use technology to decode (解码) real-world problems. In 2021, she co-developed Megaphone, one of her first apps, to tackle unanswered post-class questions and poor communication about events and announcements. Her problem-solving ability kept building from there. When she took online CPR classes at the start of the pandemic, she figured it couldn’t be just her who was struggling with the steps. So she created an app called CPR Buddy ― a winner in the 2022 Apple Swift Challenge ― which guides users through CPR using vibrations (震动) to regulate breath. After winning the award, Angelina presented her work to Apple CEO Tim Cook, a highlight in her young career, but one she didn’t lose her cool over. “There’s no point putting people on a pedestal (神坛),” she says. The next year, Angelina built an app called Lilac, designed to assist nonEnglish-speaking single parents with resources for housing, job opportunities and translation support. She was inspired by her own experiences as a child of a single mother who immigrated to the US. When Angelina decided to pursue pilot training at the age of 16, she was struck by how difficult it was to find financial support, which encouraged her to create yet another app, Pilot Fast Track, which helps those longing to be pilots find scholarships for flight training. Looking to the future, besides applying to colleges with great labs, Angelina is exploring the field of aerospace cybersecurity and mechatronics ― combining computer science, electrical engineering and mechanical engineering. “There’s not enough optimism in the world,“ she says. “I have also been in situations in my life where I’ve lost a lot of hope. But in the end, it is a mindset, and there are ways in any situation you’re in to make it somewhat better.” 4. What is Angelina’s pursuit? A. To design games for kids. B. To stimulate teen’s curiosity. C. To address problems through technology. D. To find innovative approaches to digital challenges. 5. What can we learn about Angelina from Paragraph 3? A. She couldn’t breathe regularly. B. She was inspired by celebrities. C. She replaced CPR with an app. D. She was humble about her success. 6. What was the primary goal of developing Pilot Fast Track? A. To direct pilots’ career paths. B. To help to-be pilots find funds. C. To pair future pilots with airlines. D. To evaluate pilot training schools. 7. What might be the best title? A. Breaking the code B. Bearing growing pains C. Facing life as it is D. Following role models 【答案】4. C 5. D 6. B 7. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了Angelina Tsuboi如何通过技术创新解决现实问题，她的应用程序帮助了许多人，并展现了她对未来技术领域的探索和乐观的生活态度。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Today , at18, the Grade 12 student’s initial curiosity has evolved into a deep-seated desire to use technology to decode (解码) real-world problems.(如今，这位18岁的12年级学生最初的好奇心已经演变成一种根深蒂固的愿望，即利用技术来破解现实世界的问题。)”可知，Angelina的志向是利用技术来解码现实世界的问题。故选C。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“After winning the award, Angelina presented her work to Apple CEO Tim Cook, a highlight in her young career, but one she didn’t lose her cool over. “There’s no point putting people on a pedestal (神坛),”she says.(在获得奖项后，Angelina向苹果公司首席执行官蒂姆·库克展示了她的作品，这是她年轻职业生涯中的一个亮点，但她并没有因此而失去冷静。她说：“没有必要把人放在神坛上。”)”可知，即使在获得苹果公司Swift挑战赛奖项并有机会向苹果CEO蒂姆·库克展示自己的工作后，Angelina也没有失去冷静，她认为没有必要把人放在神坛上，这表明她对自己的成功保持谦逊。故选D。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段中“When Angelina decided to pursue pilot training at the age of 16, she was struck by how difficult it was to find financial support, which encouraged her to create yet another app, Pilot Fast Track, which helps those longing to be pilots find scholarships for flight training.(当Angelina在16岁时决定接受飞行员培训时，她被找到经济支持的困难所震惊，这促使她创建了另一个应用程序“飞行员快速通道”，帮助那些渴望成为飞行员的人获得飞行培训的奖学金。)”可知，Angelina在16岁决定接受飞行员培训时，发现很难找到财务支持，这促使她创建了Pilot Fast Track应用程序，帮助那些渴望成为飞行员的人找到飞行培训的奖学金。故选B。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，文章主要讲述了Angelina Tsuboi通过解码技术解决现实世界问题的故事。她利用解码技术开发了多个应用程序，这些应用程序分别帮助解决课后问题、心脏复苏指导、非英语母语单亲家庭的资源获取和飞行员培训资金寻找等问题。A选项“Breaking the code(解码技术)”概括文章主要内容，符合文章标题。故选A。 C People have wondered for a long time how their personalities and behaviors are formed. It’s not easy to explain why one person is intelligent and another is not, or why one is cooperative and another is competitive. Social scientists are, of course, extremely interested in these types of questions. They want to explain why we possess certain characteristics and exhibit certain behaviors. There are no clear answers yet, but two distinct schools of thought on the matter have developed. As one might expect, the two approaches are very different from one another, and there is a great deal of debate between supporters of each theory. The controversy is often conveniently referred to as “nature/nurture”. Those who support the “nature” side of the conflict believe that our personalities and behavior patterns are largely determined by biological and genetic factors. That our environment has little, if anything to do with our abilities, characteristics, and behavior is central to this theory. Taken to an extreme, this theory maintains that our behavior is predetermined to such a great degree that we are almost completely governed by our instincts (本能). Supporters of the “nurture” theory, or, as they are often called, behaviorists, claim that our environment is more important than our biologically based instincts in determining how we will act. A behaviorist, B. E. Skinner, sees humans as beings whose behavior is almost completely shaped by their surroundings. The behaviorists’ view of the human being is quite mechanistic; they maintain that, like machines, human beings remain unchanged unless stimulated by the environmental factors. The social and political implications of these two theories are profound. In the United States, for example, blacks often score below whites on standardized intelligence tests. This leads some “nature” supporters to conclude that blacks are genetically inferior to whites. Behaviorists, in contrast, say that the differences in scores are due to the fact that blacks are often deprived of many of the educational and other environmental advantages that whites enjoy, and that, as a result, they do not develop the same responses that whites do. Neither of these theories can yet fully explain human behavior. In fact, it is quite likely that the key to our behavior lies somewhere between these two extremes. That the controversy will continue for a long time is certain. 8. What will the supporters of the “nurture” theory agree with? A. Peter loves talking to strangers because he is friendly. B. Peter loves maths because his father is a maths professor. C. Peter loves detective stories because he enjoys suspense and thrill. D. Peter loves tea because his mother gave it to him since childhood. 9. The underlined word “mechanistic” in paragraph 4 means ________. A. flexible B. rigid C. common D. new 10. Why did the author cite the blacks in the US as an example? A. He wanted to show how the theories have deeply affected the society. B. He tried to prove that both theories need further discussion and research. C. He intended to demonstrate why the blacks need more education and support. D. He attempted to introduce the result of intelligence tests from blacks and whites. 11. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text? A. To introduce some theories. B. To stress genetic factors. C. To solve a racial problem. D. To give further suggestions. 【答案】8. D 9. B 10. A 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要讲述了人的性格与行为模式是如何形成的，以及是什么决定了每个人的性格行为与他人不同。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“Supporters of the “nurture” theory, or, as they are often called, behaviorists, claim that our environment is more important than our biologically based instincts in determining how we will act. (“后天培养”理论的支持者，或者他们通常被称为行为主义者，声称我们的环境比我们基于生物学的本能更重要，决定我们将如何行动。)”可知，Peter爱茶是因为他母亲从小就给他茶，这是环境因素的影响，符合“后天培养”理论支持者的观点，即环境在塑造行为方面起着更重要的作用。故选D项。 【9题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段中“The behaviorists’ view of the human being is quite mechanistic; they maintain that, like machines, human beings remain unchanged unless stimulated by the environmental factors.(行为主义者对人类的看法是相当……；他们认为，就像机器一样，除非受到环境因素的刺激，否则人类不会改变。)”可知，人类像机器一样，除非受到环境因素的刺激否则保持不变，意味着这种观点是僵化的、刻板的。划线单词mechanistic意思为“机械论的；僵化的”，故选B项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“The social and political implications of these two theories are profound. In the United States, for example, blacks often score below whites on standardized intelligence tests.(这两种理论的社会和政治影响是深远的。例如，在美国，黑人在标准化智力测试中的得分往往低于白人。)”可知，作者提到美国黑人在标准化智力测试中得分低于白人的例子，是为了说明这两种理论的社会和政治影响是深远的。故选A项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段中“There are no clear answers yet, but two distinct schools of thought on the matter have developed.(目前还没有明确的答案，但关于这个问题已经形成了两种截然不同的思想流派。)”可知，作者的目的是介绍关于人的个性和行为形成的两种不同的理论，即“天性”理论和“后天培养”理论，并阐述了它们的观点和影响。故选A项。 D How often is your mind quiet? If you’re a typical human being, the answer is probably very rarely. For most of our days, our attention is focused on external things—the tasks of our jobs, TV programs, or social media interactions. In the moments when our attention isn’t focused externally, it’s usually focused on what is called “thought-chatter”—a stream of mental associations consisting of expectations of the future, memories, daydreams, and so on. But from time to time, we all experience moments when our thought-chatter quiets down, or even disappears altogether. In these moments, we experience a sense of great well-being. We feel a sense of inner harmony. We feel as if we’re free of problems, and feel satisfied with our lives as they are. There are many activities that have the effect of quieting our minds, and so produce a state of well-being. For example, think about what happens when you go walking in the countryside. You might feel stressed when you start out, but slowly, after a couple of miles, your mind begins to settle down. The beauty and stillness of nature attracts your attention and you’re no longer in your thought-chatter. By the end of the walk you feel almost like a different person. You feel more alive, and much happier—largely because your mind is now quiet. This is why people love to look at beautiful works of art. When people see the paintings of Monet or van Gogh, they experience a mind-stopping moment, in which they’re taken out of their thinking minds and experience a sense of great well-being. The strange thing is, though, that most of the time this happens unconsciously (不知不觉地). We usually don’t associate this well-being with a quiet mind. And we usually don’t think of a quiet mind as the aim or result of these activities. Our estimate of how enjoyable an activity is may depend on its mind-stopping capacity. In other words, the very best performances—and the most rewarding activities—are those which are so attractive and intense that they can completely stop our minds. I’m not saying that inner quietness is the only reason why we enjoy these activities. Nevertheless, we should certainly become more aware of the association of a quiet mind with well-being. And at the same time we should be aware that it’s possible for us to consciously and directly create a quiet mind; rather than as a byproduct of certain activities. And in the end we might develop a permanent quiet mind and attain a state of ongoing contentment and harmony. 12. What can be inferred about thought-chatter? A. It requires a lot of practice. B. It might be unpleasant at times. C. It might be a talk with a friend. D. It helps reach a state of silence. 13. What are the examples of activities mentioned in the text mainly about? A. What activities lead to well-being. B. What can be done to reduce stress. C. How we can make our minds quiet. D. How mental quietness leads to well-being. 14. How can we determine how much pleasure an activity can give us? A. By judging how much stress it can increase. B. By judging whether it takes place unconsciously. C. By judging to what extent it can quiet our minds. D. By judging whether it associates with well-being. 15. What does the author intend to highlight in the last paragraph? A. Creating a quiet mind for all time. B. Living a peaceful life permanently. C. Being in harmony with inner quietness. D. Participating in activities for inner quietness. 【答案】12. B 13. D 14. C 15. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要探讨了内心宁静与心理健康的关系，指出通过欣赏艺术和在自然中行走等活动，可以使思维静止，带来幸福感和内心和谐，并提出有意识地创造宁静心境可以带来持久的满足感。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段的“But from time to time, we all experience moments when our thought-chatter quiets down, or even disappears altogether. In these moments, we experience a sense of great well-being. We feel a sense of inner harmony. We feel as if we’re free of problems, and feel satisfied with our lives as they are. (但时不时地，我们都会经历这样的时刻：我们的“思想闲聊”安静下来，甚至完全消失。在这些时刻，我们体验到一种巨大的幸福感。我们感受到内心的和谐。我们觉得好像没有问题了，对我们的生活感到满意。)”可知，“思想闲聊”停下来时人们会感到快乐，因此它的发生有时可能会令人不愉快。故选B。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段的“For example, think about what happens when you-go walking in the countryside. You might feel stressed when you start out, but slowly, after-a couple of miles, your mind begins to settle down. The beauty and stillness of nature attracts your attention and you’re no longer in your thought-chatter. By the end of the walk you feel almost like a different person. You feel more alive, and much happier—largely because your mind is now quiet. (例如，想想当你在农村散步时会发生什么。刚开始的时候你可能会感到压力，但慢慢地，几英里后，你的头脑开始安定下来。大自然的美丽和宁静吸引了你的注意力，你不再“思想闲聊”。散步结束时，你几乎感觉自己变成了另一个人。你感觉更有活力，也更快乐——主要是因为你的头脑现在很安静。) ”可知，文中提到了在乡村散步和观看艺术作品等活动可以让心灵平静下来，并带来幸福感。因此，提到这些例子主要是为了说明心灵的平静是怎样带来幸福感的。故选D。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段的“Our estimate of how enjoyable an activity is may depend on its mind-stopping capacity. In other words, the very best performances—and the most rewarding activities—are those which are so attractive and intense that they can completely stop our minds. (我们对一项活动有多愉快的估计可能取决于它让人停止思考的能力。换句话说，最好的表现和最有回报的活动是那些非常有吸引力和激烈的，它们可以完全停止我们的思想。)”可知，那些可以完全让我们停止思考的活动被认为是非常愉快和有益的，因此，我们对一项活动的享受取决于它在多大程度上能让我们的头脑平静下来。故选C。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段的“I’m not saying that inner quietness is the only reason why we enjoy these activities. Nevertheless, we should certainly become more aware of the association of a quiet mind with well-being. And at the same time we should be aware that it’s possible for us to consciously and directly create a quiet mind; rather than as a byproduct of certain activities. And in the end we might develop a permanent quiet mind and attain a state of ongoing contentment and harmony. (我并不是说内心的平静是我们喜欢这些活动的唯一原因。然而，我们当然应该更加意识到安静的头脑与幸福的联系。同时，我们应该意识到，我们有可能有意识地直接创造一个平静的头脑；而不是作为某些活动的副产品。最终，我们可能会发展出一种永久的平静心态，达到一种持续的满足与和谐的状态。)”可知，作者强调要更多地意识到安静的心灵和幸福之间的联系，要有意识地直接创造一个安静的头脑，潜在地带来持续的满足和和谐，而不仅仅是参与活动。故选A。 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。 Artificial Intelligence (AI) geolocation (互联网定位技术) solutions are changing the way researchers track and monitor wildlife, enabling more powerful conservation efforts.

That afternoon, the hot sun was shining brightly, making the tree leaves almost burn and making people’s bodies seem to be on fire. Having nothing interesting to do at home, I decided to go to the pool to enjoy the coolness instead of going swimming. The reason was simple — I still couldn’t swim. I was impatient, and I always failed to do something and suffered losses. So the swimming lesson was put off again and again. Upon arriving at the gym’s pool, I was greeted by a lively scene. Some people just jumped into the water, with hands entering first and the body following in a smooth motion. Some were kicking their legs rhythmically below the surface. All were happy. That was infectious, and I couldn’t help but feel deep admiration. Then I made a decision! Taking a deep breath, I followed their example, closing my eyes and jumping into the “vast water” with a plop (扑通声). At this moment, my head was pointing to the ground and my feet to the sky. When I “plopped” to the bottom, my whole body was swinging hard and my hands and feet lost their ability to feel. I just felt water rushing towards me, and my nose was filled with water. It was very terrible. Suddenly, I was hit by something. I struggled out of the light blue water bit by bit as if being dragged. “That’s horrible!” I shouted 1oudly, and while I was complaining, I suddenly realized that I couldn’t swim in the first place, so why should I be shocked? Just when I decided to stay away from water, someone gently patted my shoulder and said, “Don’t be discouraged, little girl. Look, swimming requires...” The lady introduced herself as Allison. She gave me a “1ecture” on how to hold my breath, how to kick gently, and how to start with floating with the help of a swimming ring, being patient while giving me a demonstration. 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。 “Why not try one more time?” said Allison. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ As the day drew to a close, I still could not swim very well. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Version 1: “Why not try one more time?” said Allison. Her words echoed in my mind, and I found myself nodding in agreement. After all, I had come here with a purpose — to learn how to swim. So why give up now? With renewed determination, I took a deep breath and prepared to give it another go. This time, I focused on her instructions and tried to mimic her movements as closely as possible. Surprisingly, I was able to stay afloat for a few seconds longer than before. Progress, however small, was still progress. As the day drew to a close, I still could not swim very well. But I didn’t feel defeated or discouraged. Instead, I felt a sense of accomplishment and pride. After all, I had taken the first step towards overcoming my fear of water and learning a new skill. And even though I wasn’t quite there yet, I knew that with practice and patience, I would eventually get it. Besides, today had been more than just about learning how to swim. It had also been about finding the courage to face my fears and trying something new. And for that, I was grateful to Allison and the encouragement she had given me. Version 2: “Why not try one more time?” said Allison. She smiled at me encouragingly, her eyes filled with warmth and confidence. “You can do it, girl. I know it seems scary, but with the right techniques and some practice, you’ll be swimming like a fish in no time.” She handed me a swimming ring and gently guided me back to the shallow end of the pool. Together, we began the slow process of teaching me to float and then, eventually, to swim. As the day drew to a close, I still could not swim very well. But I had made progress, and that was what mattered. I could now float comfortably with the help of the swimming ring, and my kicks were becoming more coordinated. Allison praised me for my efforts and told me to keep practicing. She knew that with time and dedication, I would overcome my fears and learn to swim. And so, with a renewed sense of determination, I bid farewell to the pool that day, knowing that my journey to becoming a confident swimmer had just begun. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述作者在这个炎热的夏季我决定去游泳池享受凉爽，被游泳池的热闹景象所感染，决定去学习游泳，当跳进水里的时候作者感到了恐惧，在作者决定放弃的时候，一位叫艾利森的女士鼓励作者不要放弃并教作者如何游泳。 【详解】①由第一段首句内容“‘为什么不再试一次呢?’艾利森说。”可知，本段可描写作者决定继续尝试，按照艾利森所教的方法、模仿她的动作继续学习游泳。 ②由第二段首句内容“当这一天接近尾声时，我仍然不能很好地游泳。”可知，本段可以描写作者尽管没有很好学会游泳，但是感到自豪，因为作者能够鼓起勇气面对恐惧，尝试新事物。 2. 续写线索：决定继续——反复练习——有所进步——并不气馁——收获与感悟——感谢鼓励 3. 词类激活 行为类 ①克服：overcome/get over ②放弃：give up/quit ③面对，正视：face/confront 情绪类 ①感到沮丧、泄气：feel discouraged/feel frustrated ②感激：grateful/thankful 【点睛】【高分句型1】After all, I had taken the first step towards overcoming my fear of water and learning a new skill. (运用了动名词短语作宾语) 【高分句型2】And for that, I was grateful to Allison and the encouragement she had given me.
