B After his father was rushed to the hospital with gastrointestinal bleeding, 43-year-old Yanatha Desouvre began to panic. So he did the one thing he knew would calm himself: He wrote. “I’m so scared,” he started. “I don’t know what I’ll do if I lose my dad.” Over the next few weeks, Desouvre filled several notebooks, writing about his worry as well as his happy memories with his dad. Sometimes Desouvre cried as he wrote. Often he laughed. “Writing allowed me to face my fear.” says Desouvre, “My pen was a tool to process the pain.” He is in good company. A considerable body of research shows benefits to writing about a traumatic (创伤的) experience or difficult situation in a manner that psychologists refer to as “expressive writing”. People who do this, recording their deepest thoughts and feelings, often show improved mental and physical health, says James Pennebaker, PhD, a psychology professor at the University of Texas, Austin. Expressive writing is a specific technique, and it’s different from writing in a journal. The idea is to reflect honestly and thoughtfully on a particular trauma or challenge, and to do it in short sessions. Expressive writing works because it allows you to make meaning out of a painful experience, experts say. Recognizing that something is bothering you is a crucial first step. Translating that experience into language forces you to organize your thoughts. And creating a narrative gives you a sense of control. But expressive writing isn’t a magical panacea. It shouldn’t be used as a replacement for other treatments. And people coping with a severe trauma or depression may not find it useful to do on their own, without medical treatment. “My expressive writing gave me the courage to face my fears.” Desouvre says, “And I believe it has helped me discover the hope I need to heal.” 4. Why does the author mention Desouvre’s story? A. To prove Desouvre’s writing skill. B. To develop a new way to face fear. C. To present the idea of expressive writing. D. To demonstrate Desouvre’s love for his father. 5. What can be learned about expressive writing? A. It contributes to overall well-being. B. It offers a sense of self-satisfaction. C. It takes the place of medical treatments. D. It requires the ability of language translation. 6. What matters most in the process of expressive writing? A. Sharing the narrative. B. Identifying the challenge. C. Putting down the feelings. D. Reflecting on the experience. 7. What does the underlined word “panacea” in paragraph 7 mean? A. Assumption. B. Convention. C. Condition. D. Solution. C African elephants call each other and respond to individual names, something that few wild animals do, according to a new research published recently. The names are one part of elephants’ low rumbles (持续而低沉的声音) that they can hear over long distances across the savanna (热带草原). Scientists believe that animals with complex social structures and family groups that separate and then reunite often may be more likely to use individual names. It’s extremely rare for wild animals to call each other by unique names. Humans have names, of course, and our dogs come when their names are called. Baby dolphins invent their own names, called signature whistles, and parrots may also use names: Each of these naming species also possesses the ability to learn to pronounce unique new sounds throughout their lives, a rare talent that elephants also possess. While dolphins and parrots have been observed addressing each other by imitating (模仿) the sound of others from their species, elephants are the first non-human animals known to use names that do not involve imitation, the researchers suggested. Elephants make a wide range of sounds, from loud calls to rumbles so low that they cannot be heard by the human ear. Names are not always used in the elephant calls. But when names are called out, it is often over a long distance, and when adults are addressing young elephants, adults are also more likely to use names than calves, suggesting it could take years to learn this particular talent. The most common call is “a harmonically rich, low-frequency sound”, according to the study in the journal Nature Ecology & Evolution. When the researchers played a recording to an elephant of their friend or family member calling out their name, the animal responded positively and energetically, ears flapping and trunk lifted, to recordings that contained their names. Sometimes elephants entirely ignored calls addressed to others. “Elephants are incredibly social, always talking and touching each other. This naming is probably one of the things that strengthens their ability to communicate to individuals,” said co-author and Colorado State University ecologist George Wittemyer, who is also a scientific adviser for nonprofit Save the Elephants. “We just cracked open the door a bit to the elephant mind.” 8. What is African elephants’ rare talent in paragraph 2? A. The reply to their names. B. The invention of their own names. C. The unique sounds to call others. D. The ability to hear far-away rumbles. 9. What do we know about elephant calls? A. They can be learned through time. B. They are seldom used to call names. C. They are imitated from other species. D. They can hardly be heard by humans. 10. How did the elephants react to recordings containing their names? A. They addressed others. B. They ignored the sound. C. They touched each other. D. They moved their body parts. 11. What do George’s words imply in the last paragraph? A. Naming makes elephants socially active. B. Elephants’ minds deserve further exploration. C Interaction between elephants develops better. D. Operations on elephants’ brains need to be done. D A study by researchers at Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore) has shown that the use of cool paint coatings in cities can help pedestrians (行人) feel up to 1.5 degrees Celsius cooler, making the urban area more comfortable for work and play. Cool paint coatings contain additives that reflect the sun’s heat to reduce surface heat absorption and emission. They have been touted (吹捧) as one way to cool down the urban area and relieve the Urban Heat Island effect, a phenomenon in which urban areas experience warmer temperatures than their outlying surroundings. To date, most studies of cool paint coatings have been either simulation-based (基于模拟的) or tested in scaled-down models, and understanding of its application in’ real-world situations is limited. Now, NTU researchers have conducted a first of its kind real-world study in the tropics — coating the roofs, walls, and road pavements of an industrial area in Singapore — to comprehensively evaluate how well cool paint coatings work in reducing city heat. By comparison with a nearby uncoated area, the team discovered that the coated environment was up to two degrees Celsius cooler in the afternoon, with pedestrian thermal comfort level improving by up to 1.5 degrees Celsius, measured using the Universal Thermal Climate Index, a common international standard for human outdoor temperature sensation that takes into account temperature, relative humidity, thermal radiation, and wind speed. Compared to conventional roofs, the roofs with the cool paint coating reflected 50 percent more sunlight and absorbed up to 40 percent less heat as a result, during the hottest time of a sunny day. The coated walls also prevented most of the heat from entering the industrial buildings. Lead investigator, Associate Professor Wan Man Pun at the NTU School of Mechanical & Aerospace Engineering, said, “Results of the study are not just relevant for cities in Singapore where it is hot all year round, but for other urban areas around the world too. With global warming, people will increasingly look for ways to stay cool. Our study proves how cool paint coatings can be a strategy to reduce the urban heat island effect in future.” 12. What are cool paint coatings intended for? A. Beautifying public surroundings. B. Improving eco-friendly additives. C. Sheltering people from global warming. D. Bringing temperatures down in cities. 13. What is special about the NTU study of cool paint coatings? A. It’s conducted and tested in practical life. B. Its conclusions can be applied domestically. C. It gives a full description of the paint coatings. D. It’s based on the Universal Thermal Climate Index. 14. Which aspect of the research is paragraph 4 mainly about? A. The basics. B. The findings. C. The process. D. The subjects. 15. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. New Paint Coatings: Removes City Heat B. New Paint Coatings: Cool Urban Setting C. Cool Paint Coatings: A Solution to Global Warming D Cool Paint Coatings: No More Heat in Urban Regions 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。 In every culture throughout time, the kitchen has had a powerful influence.

And Alex was laid off without warning. His hands, once steady on the factory machinery, trembled as he packed his belongings. Friends, once united by the common rhythm of the factory whistle, went away, their lives branching into new paths that didn’t include him. “A job’s a man’s backbone,” his father would constantly say in disappointment. He wandered through life, moving like a boat without a rudder(舵). Unemployed and uncertain, his days were gray and boring, punctuated by the occasional job interviews that led nowhere. One day, the cold rain fell, matching the despair that had settled in his heart. Ducking into the nearest shelter, he pushed open the heavy doors of the old town library, a place he hadn’t visited since his school days. With few people in the library, the place was quiet, whose towering bookshelves were like silent soldiers guarding the wisdom of the ages. The musty scent of aged paper and the soft whispers of turning pages enveloped him, offering the peace he hadn`t had for a long time. He began visiting the library daily, away from the noise of his own uncertainty. Each book was a window to another world, another life, and he found himself drawn to the stories of those who had faced adversity and emerged stronger. Sometimes, the librarian, Mrs. Harper, a kind, silver-haired woman, often brought him cups of hot chocolate or coffee, her silent support a comfort to his weary spirit. As weeks turned into months, Alex found himself lost in the piles, diving into biographies and histories, philosophies and scientific breakthroughs. He read about great minds, inventors, and visionaries who had once stood at the edge of despair, only to’ rise to the peak of success and found directions and discovered his passion for technology and innovation. Greatly inspired, Alex signed up for a programming course on technology and excelled it. With a newfound sense of direction, he began his job search with determination. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 Despite the tough competition, Alex aimed for positions at major companies. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Years later, he got the news that the library was closing for lack of funds. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2025届高三摸底测试 英语 第一部分 听力（共两节, 满分30分） 做题时, 先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后, 你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 第一节（共5小题; 每小题1.5分, 满分7.5分） 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题, 从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后, 你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 例: How much is the shirt?

The idea is to reflect honestly and thoughtfully on a particular trauma or challenge, and to do it in short sessions. Expressive writing works because it allows you to make meaning out of a painful experience, experts say. Recognizing that something is bothering you is a crucial first step. Translating that experience into language forces you to organize your thoughts. And creating a narrative gives you a sense of control. But expressive writing isn’t a magical panacea. It shouldn’t be used as a replacement for other treatments. And people coping with a severe trauma or depression may not find it useful to do on their own, without medical treatment. “My expressive writing gave me the courage to face my fears.” Desouvre says, “And I believe it has helped me discover the hope I need to heal.” 4. Why does the author mention Desouvre’s story? A. To prove Desouvre’s writing skill. B. To develop a new way to face fear. C. To present the idea of expressive writing. D. To demonstrate Desouvre’s love for his father. 5. What can be learned about expressive writing? A. It contributes to overall well-being. B. It offers a sense of self-satisfaction. C. It takes the place of medical treatments. D. It requires the ability of language translation. 6. What matters most in the process of expressive writing? A. Sharing the narrative. B. Identifying the challenge. C. Putting down the feelings. D. Reflecting on the experience. 7. What does the underlined word “panacea” in paragraph 7 mean? A. Assumption. B. Convention. C. Condition. D. Solution. 【答案】4. C 5. A 6. B 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文，文章通过讲述Yanatha Desouvre因父亲紧急住院而陷入恐慌，并通过写作来平复情绪、面对恐惧和痛苦的经历，引出了表达性写作的概念和好处。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段“Over the next few weeks, Desouvre filled several notebooks, writing about his worry as well as his happy memories with his dad. Sometimes Desouvre cried as he wrote. Often he laughed. “Writing allowed me to face my fear.” says Desouvre, “My pen was a tool to process the pain.””（在接下来的几个星期里，Desouvre写满了几个笔记本，写下了他的担忧以及他和父亲的快乐回忆。有时，德索夫尔边写边哭。他经常笑。“写作让我直面恐惧。Desouvre说，“我的笔是处理痛苦的工具。”）根据第四段“He is in good company. A considerable body of research shows benefits to writing about a traumatic (创伤的) experience or difficult situation in a manner that psychologists refer to as “expressive writing”.(他有个好伙伴。相当多的研究表明，用一种心理学家称之为“表达性写作”的方式来写创伤经历或困难情况是有益的。)”可知，作者提到了德苏福尔的故事是为了提出表达性写作的概念。故选C。 5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“People who do this, recording their deepest thoughts and feelings, often show improved mental and physical health(这样做的人，记录他们内心深处的想法和感受，通常会表现出更好的心理和身体健康)”可知，进行表达性写作有助于整体健康。故选A。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第六段“Recognizing that something is bothering you is a crucial first step.(认识到有什么事情困扰着你是至关重要的第一步。)”可知，在表达性写作的过程中最重要的是识别挑战。故选B。 【7题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第七段“It shouldn’t be used as a replacement for other treatments. And people coping with a severe trauma or depression may not find it useful to do on their own, without medical treatment.(它不应该被用来替代其他治疗方法。面对严重创伤或抑郁症的人可能会发现，如果没有药物治疗，自己做这件事是没有用的。)”可知，表达性写作并不是神奇的万能药，划线词panacea的意思是“万能药”，也就是解决办法，和Solution意思相近。故选D。 C African elephants call each other and respond to individual names, something that few wild animals do, according to a new research published recently. The names are one part of elephants’ low rumbles (持续而低沉的声音) that they can hear over long distances across the savanna (热带草原). Scientists believe that animals with complex social structures and family groups that separate and then reunite often may be more likely to use individual names. It’s extremely rare for wild animals to call each other by unique names. Humans have names, of course, and our dogs come when their names are called. Baby dolphins invent their own names, called signature whistles, and parrots may also use names: Each of these naming species also possesses the ability to learn to pronounce unique new sounds throughout their lives, a rare talent that elephants also possess. While dolphins and parrots have been observed addressing each other by imitating (模仿) the sound of others from their species, elephants are the first non-human animals known to use names that do not involve imitation, the researchers suggested. Elephants make a wide range of sounds, from loud calls to rumbles so low that they cannot be heard by the human ear. Names are not always used in the elephant calls. But when names are called out, it is often over a long distance, and when adults are addressing young elephants, adults are also more likely to use names than calves, suggesting it could take years to learn this particular talent. The most common call is “a harmonically rich, low-frequency sound”, according to the study in the journal Nature Ecology & Evolution. When the researchers played a recording to an elephant of their friend or family member calling out their name, the animal responded positively and energetically, ears flapping and trunk lifted, to recordings that contained their names. Sometimes elephants entirely ignored calls addressed to others. “Elephants are incredibly social, always talking and touching each other. This naming is probably one of the things that strengthens their ability to communicate to individuals,” said co-author and Colorado State University ecologist George Wittemyer, who is also a scientific adviser for nonprofit Save the Elephants. “We just cracked open the door a bit to the elephant mind.” 8. What is African elephants’ rare talent in paragraph 2? A. The reply to their names. B. The invention of their own names. C. The unique sounds to call others. D. The ability to hear far-away rumbles. 9. What do we know about elephant calls? A. They can be learned through time. B. They are seldom used to call names. C. They are imitated from other species. D. They can hardly be heard by humans. 10. How did the elephants react to recordings containing their names? A. They addressed others. B. They ignored the sound. C. They touched each other. D. They moved their body parts. 11. What do George’s words imply in the last paragraph? A. Naming makes elephants socially active. B. Elephants’ minds deserve further exploration. C. Interaction between elephants develops better. D. Operations on elephants’ brains need to be done. 【答案】8. C 9. A 10. D 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文书说明文。讲述了关于非洲大象能够使用个体名称进行互相呼叫的新研究结果，探讨了这种行为在野生动物中的罕见性，以及大象如何通过这种命名方式来加强彼此间的社交沟通。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“It’s extremely rare for wild animals to call each other by unique names. Humans have names, of course, and our dogs come when their names are called. Baby dolphins invent their own names, called signature whistles, and parrots may also use names: Each of these naming species also possesses the ability to learn to pronounce unique new sounds throughout their lives, a rare talent that elephants also possess.(野生动物以独特的名字互相呼唤是极其罕见的。当然，人类有名字，我们的狗听到自己的名字也会过来。小海豚会发明自己的名字，被称为特征口哨声，鹦鹉也可能使用名字：这些命名物种中的每一个也都具备一生中学习发出独特新声音的能力，这是一种大象也拥有的罕见才能)”可知，非洲象的罕见天赋是用独特的声音呼唤别人。故选C项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“But when names are called out, it is often over a long distance, and when adults are addressing young elephants, adults are also more likely to use names than calves, suggesting it could take years to learn this particular talent.(但当名字被叫出时，通常是在远距离的情况下，而且当成年大象对小象说话时，成年大象也更有可能使用名字，而不是小象，这表明学习这种特殊才能可能需要数年时间)”可知，大象的叫声是可以通过时间学习的。故选A项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“When the researchers played a recording to an elephant of their friend or family member calling out their name, the animal responded positively and energetically, ears flapping and trunk lifted, to recordings that contained their names. Sometimes elephants entirely ignored calls addressed to others.(当研究人员向大象播放它们的朋友或家人呼唤它们名字的录音时，大象会积极且精力充沛地做出反应，耳朵拍打，鼻子抬起，以回应包含它们名字的录音。有时大象会完全忽略对其他大象的呼唤)”可知，大象对包含它们名字的录音的反应是移动身体部位。故选D项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段““Elephants are incredibly social, always talking and touching each other. This naming is probably one of the things that strengthens their ability to communicate to individuals,” said co-author and Colorado State University ecologist George Wittemyer, who is also a scientific adviser for nonprofit Save the Elephants. “We just cracked open the door a bit to the elephant mind.”(“大象是非常社交的动物，总是互相交谈和触摸。这种命名可能是加强它们与个体交流能力的事情之一，”合著者、科罗拉多州立大学生态学家乔治·维特迈尔说，他也是非营利组织“拯救大象”的科学顾问。“我们只是稍微打开了大象心灵的大门。”)”可知，George的话暗示了大象的思维值得进一步探索。故选B项。 D A study by researchers at Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore) has shown that the use of cool paint coatings in cities can help pedestrians (行人) feel up to 1.5 degrees Celsius cooler, making the urban area more comfortable for work and play. Cool paint coatings contain additives that reflect the sun’s heat to reduce surface heat absorption and emission. They have been touted (吹捧) as one way to cool down the urban area and relieve the Urban Heat Island effect, a phenomenon in which urban areas experience warmer temperatures than their outlying surroundings. To date, most studies of cool paint coatings have been either simulation-based (基于模拟的) or tested in scaled-down models, and understanding of its application in’ real-world situations is limited. Now, NTU researchers have conducted a first of its kind real-world study in the tropics — coating the roofs, walls, and road pavements of an industrial area in Singapore — to comprehensively evaluate how well cool paint coatings work in reducing city heat. By comparison with a nearby uncoated area the team discovered that the coated environment was up to two degrees Celsius cooler in the afternoon, with pedestrian thermal comfort level improving by up to 1.5 degrees Celsius, measured using the Universal Thermal Climate Index, a common international standard for human outdoor temperature sensation that takes into account temperature, relative humidity, thermal radiation, and wind speed. Compared to conventional roofs, the roofs with the cool paint coating reflected 50 percent more sunlight and absorbed up to 40 percent less heat as a result, during the hottest time of a sunny day. The coated walls also prevented most of the heat from entering the industrial buildings. Lead investigator, Associate Professor Wan Man Pun at the NTU School of Mechanical & Aerospace Engineering, said, “Results of the study are not just relevant for cities in Singapore where it is hot all year round, but for other urban areas around the world too. With global warming, people will increasingly look for ways to stay cool. Our study proves how cool paint coatings can be a strategy to reduce the urban heat island effect in future.” 12. What are cool paint coatings intended for? A. Beautifying public surroundings. B. Improving eco-friendly additives. C. Sheltering people from global warming. D. Bringing temperatures down in cities. 13. What is special about the NTU study of cool paint coatings? A. It’s conducted and tested in practical life. B. Its conclusions can be applied domestically. C. It gives a full description of the paint coatings. D. It’s based on the Universal Thermal Climate Index. 14. Which aspect of the research is paragraph 4 mainly about? A. The basics. B. The findings. C. The process. D. The subjects. 15. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. New Paint Coatings: Removes City Heat B. New Paint Coatings: Cool Urban Setting C. Cool Paint Coatings: A Solution to Global Warming D. Cool Paint Coatings: No More Heat in Urban Regions 【答案】12. D 13. A 14. B 15.

Completed##Having been completed 44. an 45. in 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道，主要讲述了中国浙江大黄龙岛上两座历史石结构废墟在不到40天内被改造成时尚民宿的壮举，这体现了中国建设的惊人速度。 【36题详解】 考查时态，语态和主谓一致。句意：作为中国热门电视真人秀《漂亮的房子》的一部分，北京的Evolution Design工作室去年秋天得到了建筑和室内设计的预算，以及两个月的时间来完成改造。北京的Evolution Design工作室是被给予预算，句子用被动语态，结合last fall可知句子描述过去的事情，时态用一般过去时，因此空格处用一般过去时的被动语态，主语a Beijing-based studio Evolution Design是单数，因此空格处是was given。故填was given。 【37题详解】 考查副词。句意：令人印象深刻的是，建筑师在31天内完成了略低于预算的项目。空格处用副词修饰介词短语under budget，slight的副词是slightly，意为“稍微”。故填slightly。 【38题详解】 考查形容词。句意：当建筑公司第一次看到场地时，现有的两座建筑已经陷入严重的废墟，屋顶塌陷，墙壁风化。空格处用形容词作定语，修饰名词structures，exist的形容词是existing，意为“现有的”。故填existing。 【39题详解】 考查时态。句意：由于电视节目庆祝适应性再利用和回归自然的概念，建筑师修复了两栋建筑，并添加了现代元素，包括充足的玻璃和新的扩展部分，以更好地拥抱海景。and前后时态一致，由restored是过去式可知，句子时态是一般过去时，空格处用过去式，故填added。 【40题详解】 考查名词。句意：由于电视节目庆祝适应性再利用和回归自然的概念，建筑师修复了两栋建筑，并添加了现代元素，包括充足的玻璃和新的扩展部分，以更好地拥抱海景。new是形容词，修饰名词，extend的名词是extension，意为“扩展部分”，空前有不定冠词a，空格处用单数，故填extension。 【41题详解】 考查不定式。句意：翻新后的建筑用于容纳卧室，而新的扩建包括组合空间、屋顶甲板和一段楼梯，这减少了场地大约13英尺的高度变化。sth. be used to do是固定短语，意为“某物被用来做某事”，因此空格处用不定式，故填to house。 【42题详解】 考查定语从句。句意：翻新后的建筑用于容纳卧室，而新的扩建包括组合空间、屋顶甲板和一段楼梯，这减少了场地大约13英尺的高度变化。空格处引导的是限制性定语从句，从句中缺少主语，先行词a flight of stairs是物，因此空格处用关系代词that/which。故填that/which。 【43题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：该适应性再利用项目已于去年年底完成，占地2,900平方英尺，主要由当地的花岗岩、混凝土和钢材建造。句中谓语是covers，空格处用非谓语动词，the adaptive reuse project和complete之间是逻辑上的动宾关系，因此空格处可以用过去分词作状语；也可以理解为complete的动作先于covers发生，因此空格处也可用having been done表示先于谓语动作发生的被动的动作，位于句首的单词首字母大写，因此空格处是Completed/Having been completed。故填Completed/Having been completed。 【44题详解】 考查冠词。句意：该适应性再利用项目已于去年年底完成，占地2,900平方英尺，主要由当地的花岗岩、混凝土和钢材建造。area是可数名词的单数形式，表泛指，前面要加不定冠词，area是元音音素开头，因此不定冠词用an，故填an。 【45题详解】 考查介词。句意：极简主义的室内装饰采用现代家具和天然材料。be dressed in是固定短语，意为“穿着”，因此空格处用介词in，故填in。 第四部分 写作（共两节, 满分40分） 第一节（满分15分） 46. 假设你是李华，今年暑假你和同学相约南昌梅岭风景区，进行了为期一天的徒步活动，请你以A Hiking Experience为题给校英文报写一篇短文分享这次经历，内容包括： 1. 活动的过程; 2. 采取的防护措施; 3. 个人感受。 注意: 1. 写作词数应为80个左右; 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 A Hiking Experience ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 A Hiking Experience Last summer, I hiked with friends in Nanchang’s Meiling Scenic Area.

And Alex was laid off without warning. His hands, once steady on the factory machinery, trembled as he packed his belongings. Friends, once united by the common rhythm of the factory whistle, went away, their lives branching into new paths that didn’t include him. “A job’s a man’s backbone,” his father would constantly say in disappointment. He wandered through life, moving like a boat without a rudder(舵). Unemployed and uncertain, his days were gray and boring, punctuated by the occasional job interviews that led nowhere. One day, the cold rain fell, matching the despair that had settled in his heart. Ducking into the nearest shelter, he pushed open the heavy doors of the old town library, a place he hadn’t visited since his school days. With few people in the library, the place was quiet, whose towering bookshelves were like silent soldiers guarding the wisdom of the ages. The musty scent of aged paper and the soft whispers of turning pages enveloped him, offering the peace he hadn`t had for a long time. He began visiting the library daily, away from the noise of his own uncertainty. Each book was a window to another world, another life, and he found himself drawn to the stories of those who had faced adversity and emerged stronger. Sometimes, the librarian, Mrs. Harper, a kind, silver-haired woman, often brought him cups of hot chocolate or coffee, her silent support a comfort to his weary spirit. As weeks turned into months, Alex found himself lost in the piles, diving into biographies and histories, philosophies and scientific breakthroughs. He read about great minds, inventors, and visionaries who had once stood at the edge of despair, only to’ rise to the peak of success and found directions and discovered his passion for technology and innovation. Greatly inspired, Alex signed up for a programming course on technology and excelled it. With a newfound sense of direction, he began his job search with determination. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 Despite the tough competition, Alex aimed for positions at major companies. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Years later, he got the news that the library was closing for lack of funds. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Despite the tough competition, Alex aimed for positions at major companies. He submitted countless resumes and attended numerous interviews, armed with his newfound knowledge and skills. Each rejection was a sting but also a motivation to improve. Finally, his perseverance paid off when he received an offer from a leading tech firm. His heart filled with gratitude for the library that had been his refuge and the books that had been his guiding light. Years later, he got the news that the library was closing for lack of funds. Remembering how the library had changed his life, Alex decided to act. He organized fundraising events and reached out to the community. With the support of many who had also found solace in the library, they managed to raise enough funds to keep it open. The library, once again, stood as a symbol of hope and knowledge, continuing to transform lives just as it had done for Alex. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了Alex在失业后如何通过图书馆的帮助重新找到人生方向，并最终成功转型为一名技术工作者。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“尽管竞争激烈，Alex还是瞄准了大公司的职位。”以及第二段首句内容“多年后，他得知图书馆因资金不足而面临关闭。”可知，第一段可描写Alex凭借习得的技能在一家大公司找到了工作，他心中对图书馆充满感激。 ②由第二段首句内容“多年后，他得知图书馆因资金不足而面临关闭。”可知，第二段可描写Alex采取行动，组织各种活动，成功帮助图书馆重新开放。 2.续写线索：积极找工作——找到了工作——对图书馆充满感激之情——听说图书馆面临关闭——采取行动帮助图书馆——筹集足够资金，图书馆继续开放 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①配有：be armed with/be equipped with ②提高：improve/enhance ③充满：be filled with/be full of 情绪类 ①感激：gratitude/thankfulness ②支持：support/backing 【点睛】【高分句型1】Finally, his perseverance paid off when he received an offer from a leading tech firm.（运用了when引导的状语从句） 【高分句型2】Remembering how the library had changed his life, Alex decided to act.（运用了how引导的宾语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
