But it has all been from the vantage point (制高点) of his mother’s back. Fulfilling a promise she made to herself to give her disabled son the best life she possibly could, Niki Antram has spent years travelling the globe with Jimmy clinging (紧贴) to her shoulders. Jimmy was born with physical and mental disabilities, including blindness, and requires round-the-clock care from Ms Antram. He has a wheelchair, but Ms Antram has never enjoyed using it. She’s content to carry him while she’s physically able and helps him walk short distances on his own. Incredible photographs taken around the globe show him clinging on as they hike through mountains and rain forests. Ms Antram makes a detailed plan and calls ahead for every place she wants to visit — whether it be a restaurant or hotel. “Even if I know we will be okay, I like to inform the companies to make sure they understand and are okay with having us there,” she says. She counts herself lucky that they have similar interests. They both enjoy the outdoors, the water and adventures. “From Hawaii to Bali I’d be staying out all night with Jimmy because he was a party animal like me at the time,” she says. “I will find ways with Jimmy to get him the best and most adventurous life.” When they’re not travelling, they wake up in the morning and go for a bike ride — Jimmy in the trailer while his mother peddles for them both — as the sun rises. The pair smile and wave as they pass their neighbors. People who were once strangers have come to know and love Jimmy, and admire Ms Antram. Before their early outing, she’s already made breakfast, fed Jimmy and dressed him for the day. Her schedule is exhausting, but she’s determined to give Jimmy the best life she can provide. Ms Antram says her heart “broke” the day she learned her son was permanently blind and it took a long time to overcome those feelings of hurt.“ Being a mom, I didn’t get that carefree life that most moms get,” she says. “I had responsibility.” 24. Why does Ms Antram carry Jimmy on her back instead of using a wheelchair? A. The wheelchair causes some inconvenience. B. Jimmy prefers to enjoy scenery from her back. C. Carrying Jimmy gives her a sense of anticipation. D. She wants to show her commitment to loving her son. 25. What can we learn about Ms Antram and Jimmy? A. They both have an appetite for adventures. B. They are sick of dealing with their neighbors. C. They stay out sometimes to get closer to animals. D. They are frequently rejected by different companies. 26. Which of the following can best describe Niki Antram? A. Ambitious and generous. B. Curious and reliable. C. Adaptable and well-known. D. Strong-willed and responsible. 27. What might be the most suitable title for the text? A. Tour on the Road: Life Full of Adventures B. A Great Mother: Love Heals Everything C. Break the Disabilities: Blindness Can Never Hold You Back D. World Tour on the Back: A Mother and Her Disabled Son C Internal communication, also known as IC, refers to a group of processes responsible for effective circulation of message within an organization. These messages are information that is valuable to the organization and are supposed to be kept confidential(机密的). The means of transferring this information is often done through emails, letters, notice boards, and even with the help of social media like Skype, Zoom, and Google Meet, in the current times. Honest internal communication is the healthiest way to keep your organization growing. With honesty around the workplace, it is a safer environment for the employees to voice their opinions which could help in the modification of a certain operation that might have been outdated. Other than changes, not opening up to your colleagues can result in frustration and give rise to “gossip culture” at the workplace. When information is not passed out with lucidity, not only does the quality of work get affected but it also gives rise to questioning the worth of the time spent in the company. An atmosphere of honesty also encourages growth in responsibility, leadership, and self-accountability. If the CEO of a company voices the shortcomings of his team in a respectful manner, it would bring room for each and every employee to take it on a positive note and bring around the change for the one common goal of development of the company that they are working for. This brings a lot of change in the attitude of every individual employee since they start seeing the company that they are working for as an asset that they cherish (珍爱) dearly. In a workplace, things go both wrong and right, so it is important to both appreciate and criticize when such situations occur from the end of both the leadership and the employees. The positives should be celebrated while the negatives should be taken as positive criticisms that could help the company grow into something better. The main goal of unity and development should always be kept in mind. 28. Which is considered one main character of IC? A. It comes with the times of social media. B. It exists within the leadership of a company. C. It is often kept secret within an organization. D. It needs a long and difficult process in most cases. 29. What does the underlined word “lucidity” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Clearness. B. Appreciation. C. Authority. D. Assistance. 30. What is the third paragraph mainly about? A. The main responsibilities of the CEO. B. The importance of unity for a company. C. The advantage of a powerful leadership. D. The role of an honest leadership in a company. 31. What does the author suggest to us in a workplace in the last paragraph? A. Communicating both the positives and the negatives. B. Taking responsibilities bravely for our mistakes. C. Trying all possible means to avoid the negatives. D. Strengthening unity mainly among the employees. D Mountain chickadees (山雀) have some of the strongest spacial memories in the animal kingdom. New research reveals the genes involved and sheds light on how a changing climate may influence the evolution of this particular skill. In a new study, researchers at the University of Colorado Boulder and the University of Nevada, Reno identify nearly a hundred genes associated with the birds’ spacial memory, or ability to recall the locations of objects. The paper also suggests a potential balance may exist between having a solid long- term memory and being able to quickly remove old memories to form new ones. Taylor, the director of CU Boulder’s Mountain Research Station and his associates at the University of Nevada, Reno, lead by biologist professor Vladimir Pravosudov, designed a novel technique to assess the spacial memory of wild mountain chickadees. They hung various feeder groups in California’s Sierra Nevada mountains, each with eight seed-filled bird feeders. Each feeder has a gate equipped with a radio frequency reader capable of detecting a tag placed on chickadees by researchers. The scientists then configured (设定) each gate to only open to specific birds, forcing the chickadees to remember which feeders would open to them. Pravosudov and his team then counted how many times each chickadee landed on the wrong feeders before they recalled the right one. Using blood samples, the CU Boulder team sequenced (测定序列) the whole genome of 162 tagged chickadees, resulting in the largest database ever collected for examining the genetic basis of chickade’s cognitive ability. The team discovered 97 genes involved in chickadee spacial learning and memory by comparing the birds’ genomes to their performance on the feeder test. The findings could help biologists better understand the evolution of spacial memory in animals, including humans. “Chickadees are impressive birds,” said Scott Taylor. “They can remember tens of thousands of locations where they store food across an entire winter and a new set of those the next winter. Their spacial memory is much more developed than many other birds that don’t have to have this strategy to survive cold winters.” 32. What do we know about mountain chickadees’ spacial memories? A. They are linked with a hundred relevant genes. B. They maintain a good balance in locating objects. C. They are considered powerful in the animal world. D. They might account for the slow change of climate. 33. What can a radio frequency reader do in the test? A. Lower the error rate of the chickadees. B. Count the times each chickadee failed. C. Collect the food information of a feeder. D. Identify the chickadee landing on a feeder. 34. What does paragraph 4 focus on about the study? A. Blood sampling. B. Genes involved. C Ability comparing. D. Data gathered. 35. What does Scott Taylor imply in the last paragraph? A. Chickadees possess amazing evolutionary capability. B. Many other birds should improve their spacial memory. C. Food storage is vital to the survival of animals in winter. D. Chickadees’ spacial memory carries them through winter. 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，有两项为多余选项。 How to Increase Your Levels of Optimism The way in which you achieve your goals, face challenges, and overcome failures depends largely on your levels of optimism.

Icicles (冰锥) hung three feet or more from the roofs of houses and snow swallowed up cars. The puppy had been abandoned, and it made its way down the road toward the Laceys’ small house, with its ears down and trembling from shyness and cold. Doris, whose school had been called off because of the snow, was clearing the steps when she spotted the puppy on the road. “Come on, little dog!” she called it over. The puppy shyly wagged its tail when Doris approached. As soon as Doris put the dog down in the kitchen, her mom, Mrs. Lacey, asked where the dog came from. Mr. Lacey, who was cleaning his fingernails with his pocketknife at the table, said, “I don’t know where it came from, but I know for sure where it’s going.” Doris hugged the puppy hard against her. She said nothing. Because of the snowy weather, Mr. Lacey couldn’t take the puppy to the shelter right away. So, it stayed in the basement, and Doris fed it leftovers, even though her mom didn’t want to waste food. Doris thought the puppy was around six months old and would be quite noisy sometimes. Surprisingly, the puppy behaved well, didn’t cry or make trouble in the basement, and only followed Doris upstairs when she invited it. Doris often found it on the basement steps listening to the kitchen talk and smelling the food. She felt the puppy wanted company. Even after a week, Doris didn’t name the dog, knowing her parents wouldn’t let her keep it. Her father made so little money that any pets were out of the question. Desperate to keep the dog. Doris tried to convince her parents by praising the dog’s good behavior and expressing her love for it, but her parents didn’t give a definite answer. Despite her efforts, Doris secretly wished the bad weather would never go away, fearing the puppy’s unavoidable trip to the shelter. However, nine days after the dog had arrived, the sun was shining. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Doris knew it was time to say goodbye to the dog. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Doris put her hand to her mouth and couldn’t believe what she had heard. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 长沙市周南中学2025届高三第二阶段月考英语试卷 满分：150分 时量：120分钟 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。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. 【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 Which film does Mary want to see?

He dislikes storybooks. 【答案】14. C 15. C 16. A 17. B 【解析】 【原文】W: Hi, Hank! What’s that book you’re reading? M: Hi, Anna. It’s about the teenagers who are thought of as heroes. I mean, lots of people think nowadays a hero has to be someone like those in films. But I think there are plenty of ordinary people around doing great things. W: Mmm, I guess so. Those people can be heroes too. M: That’s a bit like my granddad, then. He’s done all sorts of things to lend other people a hand. To do this, he even left a large company and gave up a high-paying job. He’s surely my hero. W: He sounds like one of those motivating heroes you find in storybooks. M: Yeah, he is. And a storybook is one place where you do need proper heroes. W: I’m with you there. I have read loads of storybooks which are close to reality and I surely wouldn’t get to the end if they didn’t have heroes. Too boring. M: Great writers can really help you to love reading. I mean, I wasn’t f ond of reading until I found my favorite. Still, it’s unusual to find writers that can do that—for me, anyway. W: That’s right. 听下面一段独白，回答以下小题。【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 18. What did Harry Nuriev do in 2019? A. He displayed a special sofa. B. He designed a sofa using bags. C. He searched a fair for old items. 19. What does Katie Treggiden think furniture companies should do? A. Improve product quality. B. Use sustainable material. C. Lengthen furniture’s life. 20. What is the main focus of the speaker? A. A designer’s green sofa. B Problems in the furniture industry. C. The change in the fashion industry. 【答案】18. A 19. C 20. B 【解析】 【原文】M: Russian designer Harry Nuriev’s latest sofa is made from a pile of waste bags. He wants it to draw attention to waste things and how we use them. The piece was based on an idea he first explored at a fair in 2019, when he presented a sofa made from old clothes. The project commented on the fashion industry’s waste problem, which is mainly generated by cheap, trend-responsive “fast fashion”. The project also drew a direct line between the waste problem and the furniture industry. It’s estimated that 9 million tons of furniture are thrown away every single year, and over 80% of it ends up in landfill. Add to that the carbon releases caused by producing and shipping it, and the furniture industry looks like another threat to the global climate. With so much waste furniture, brands that make typically “fast” furniture are announcing efforts to change. Some companies commit to using only renewable or recyclable material s to cut carbon release. Katie Treggiden, design expert and author of Wasted: When Trash Becomes Treasure, said that having a long life has been a key selling message among responsible furniture companies for a long time. She added they also need to offer repair and take-back service to give their products a second life. 第二部分阅读(共两节，满分 50 分) 第一节(共 15小题;每小题2.5分，满分37.5分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A Wanting to make this summer count?

But it has all been from the vantage point (制高点) of his mother’s back. Fulfilling a promise she made to herself to give her disabled son the best life she possibly could, Niki Antram has spent years travelling the globe with Jimmy clinging (紧贴) to her shoulders. Jimmy was born with physical and mental disabilities, including blindness, and requires round-the-clock care from Ms Antram. He has a wheelchair, but Ms Antram has never enjoyed using it. She’s content to carry him while she’s physically able and helps him walk short distances on his own. Incredible photographs taken around the globe show him clinging on as they hike through mountains and rain forests. Ms Antram makes a detailed plan and calls ahead for every place she wants to visit — whether it be a restaurant or hotel. “Even if I know we will be okay, I like to inform the companies to make sure they understand and are okay with having us there,” she says. She counts herself lucky that they have similar interests. They both enjoy the outdoors, the water and adventures. “From Hawaii to Bali I’d be staying out all night with Jimmy because he was a party animal like me at the time,” she says. “I will find ways with Jimmy to get him the best and most adventurous life.” When they’re not travelling, they wake up in the morning and go for a bike ride — Jimmy in the trailer while his mother peddles for them both — as the sun rises. The pair smile and wave as they pass their neighbors. People who were once strangers have come to know and love Jimmy, and admire Ms Antram. Before their early outing, she’s already made breakfast, fed Jimmy and dressed him for the day. Her schedule is exhausting, but she’s determined to give Jimmy the best life she can provide. Ms Antram says her heart “broke” the day she learned her son was permanently blind and it took a long time to overcome those feelings of hurt.“ Being a mom, I didn’t get that carefree life that most moms get,” she says. “I had responsibility.” 24. Why does Ms Antram carry Jimmy on her back instead of using a wheelchair? A. The wheelchair causes some inconvenience. B. Jimmy prefers to enjoy scenery from her back. C. Carrying Jimmy gives her a sense of anticipation. D. She wants to show her commitment to loving her son. 25. What can we learn about Ms Antram and Jimmy? A. They both have an appetite for adventures. B. They are sick of dealing with their neighbors. C. They stay out sometimes to get closer to animals. D. They are frequently rejected by different companies. 26. Which of the following can best describe Niki Antram? A. Ambitious and generous. B. Curious and reliable. C. Adaptable and well-known. D. Strong-willed and responsible. 27. What might be the most suitable title for the text? A. Tour on the Road: Life Full of Adventures B. A Great Mother: Love Heals Everything C. Break the Disabilities: Blindness Can Never Hold You Back D. World Tour on the Back: A Mother and Her Disabled Son 【答案】24. D 25. A 26. D 27. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了一位母亲Antrum为了实现自己的承诺，背着残疾的儿子Jimmy到世界各地旅游的故事。 【24题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“He has a wheelchair, but Ms Antram has never enjoyed using it. She’s content to carry him while she’s physically able and helps him walk short distances on his own.(他有一辆轮椅，但Antrum从来都不喜欢用它。她很乐意在自己身体还可以的时候抱着他，并帮助他自己走一小段路)”可知，Antrum之所以不用轮椅，是因为她想表明她爱儿子的决心。故选D项。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“She counts herself lucky that they have similar interests.

These messages are information that is valuable to the organization and are supposed to be kept confidential(机密的). The means of transferring this information is often done through emails, letters, notice boards, and even with the help of social media like Skype, Zoom, and Google Meet, in the current times. Honest internal communication is the healthiest way to keep your organization growing. With honesty around the workplace, it is a safer environment for the employees to voice their opinions which could help in the modification of a certain operation that might have been outdated. Other than changes, not opening up to your colleagues can result in frustration and give rise to “gossip culture” at the workplace. When information is not passed out with lucidity, not only does the quality of work get affected but it also gives rise to questioning the worth of the time spent in the company. An atmosphere of honesty also encourages growth in responsibility, leadership, and self-accountability. If the CEO of a company voices the shortcomings of his team in a respectful manner, it would bring room for each and every employee to take it on a positive note and bring around the change for the one common goal of development of the company that they are working for. This brings a lot of change in the attitude of every individual employee since they start seeing the company that they are working for as an asset that they cherish (珍爱) dearly. In a workplace, things go both wrong and right, so it is important to both appreciate and criticize when such situations occur from the end of both the leadership and the employees. The positives should be celebrated while the negatives should be taken as positive criticisms that could help the company grow into something better. The main goal of unity and development should always be kept in mind. 28. Which is considered one main character of IC? A. It comes with the times of social media. B. It exists within the leadership of a company. C. It is often kept secret within an organization. D. It needs a long and difficult process in most cases. 29. What does the underlined word “lucidity” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Clearness. B. Appreciation. C. Authority. D. Assistance. 30. What is the third paragraph mainly about? A. The main responsibilities of the CEO. B. The importance of unity for a company. C. The advantage of a powerful leadership. D. The role of an honest leadership in a company. 31. What does the author suggest to us in a workplace in the last paragraph? A. Communicating both the positives and the negatives. B. Taking responsibilities bravely for our mistakes. C. Trying all possible means to avoid the negatives. D. Strengthening unity mainly among the employees. 【答案】28. C 29. A 30. D 31. A 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇议论文。文章主要以内部沟通为话题，讲述了其对于公司，个人，领到以及员工的重要意义。诚实的内部沟通是保持组织成长的最健康的方式，诚实的氛围也鼓励责任感、领导力和自我责任感的增长，因此，在沟通过程中，应该正确对待信息，无论好坏。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段内容“Internal communication, also known as IC, refers to a group of processes responsible for effective circulation of message within an organization. These messages are information that is valuable to the organization and are supposed to be kept confidential.(内部沟通，也被称为IC，指的是组织内部负责信息有效传播的一组过程。 这些信息是对组织有价值的信息，应该保密。)”可知，内部沟通中的信息应该是有价值的，被保密的。由此可知，“在内部沟通中，消息被保密”是其特点之一。故选C项。 【29题详解】 词义猜测题。根据后文“not only does the quality of work get affected but it also gives rise to questioning the worth of the time spent in the company(这不仅会影响工作质量，还会让人质疑在公司花的时间是否值得)”可知，“When information is not passed out with lucidity”造成的结果并不好，造成这样的结果应该是内部沟通中的信息没有得到清楚的传达。由此可推知，“lucidity”应是“清楚；明确”含义，与选项A“Clearness.(清楚明确。)”表达含义一致。故选A项。 【30题详解】 主旨大意题。通过阅读文章第三段内容可知，首句“An atmosphere of honesty also encourages growth in responsibility, leadership, and self-accountability.(诚实的氛围也鼓励责任感、领导力和自我责任感的增长。)”为主旨句，并在后文用公司CEO举例具体讲述了诚实的领导能够在公司发挥积极的作用。D项“The role of an honest leadership in a company.(诚实的领导在公司中的作用。)”符合该段主旨。故选D项。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章末尾段内容“In a workplace, things go both wrong and right, so it is important to both appreciate and criticize when such situations occur from the end of both the leadership and the employees.(在工作场所，事情有好有坏，所以当这种情况发生时，无论是领导还是员工，欣赏和批评都是很重要的。)”可知，在作者看来，工作中，事情有好有坏，就会有欣赏和批评。由此可推知，作者应是建议在工作中应该诚实地传达信息，无论好坏，即，同时传达积极和消极的信息。故选A项。 D Mountain chickadees (山雀) have some of the strongest spacial memories in the animal kingdom. New research reveals the genes involved and sheds light on how a changing climate may influence the evolution of this particular skill. In a new study, researchers at the University of Colorado Boulder and the University of Nevada, Reno identify nearly a hundred genes associated with the birds’ spacial memory, or ability to recall the locations of objects. The paper also suggests a potential balance may exist between having a solid long- term memory and being able to quickly remove old memories to form new ones. Taylor, the director of CU Boulder’s Mountain Research Station and his associates at the University of Nevada, Reno, lead by biologist professor Vladimir Pravosudov, designed a novel technique to assess the spacial memory of wild mountain chickadees. They hung various feeder groups in California’s Sierra Nevada mountains, each with eight seed-filled bird feeders. Each feeder has a gate equipped with a radio frequency reader capable of detecting a tag placed on chickadees by researchers. The scientists then configured (设定) each gate to only open to specific birds, forcing the chickadees to remember which feeders would open to them. Pravosudov and his team then counted how many times each chickadee landed on the wrong feeders before they recalled the right one. Using blood samples, the CU Boulder team sequenced (测定序列) the whole genome of 162 tagged chickadees, resulting in the largest database ever collected for examining the genetic basis of chickade’s cognitive ability. The team discovered 97 genes involved in chickadee spacial learning and memory by comparing the birds’ genomes to their performance on the feeder test. The findings could help biologists better understand the evolution of spacial memory in animals, including humans. “Chickadees are impressive birds,” said Scott Taylor. “They can remember tens of thousands of locations where they store food across an entire winter and a new set of those the next winter. Their spacial memory is much more developed than many other birds that don’t have to have this strategy to survive cold winters.” 32. What do we know about mountain chickadees’ spacial memories? A. They are linked with a hundred relevant genes. B. They maintain a good balance in locating objects. C. They are considered powerful in the animal world. D. They might account for the slow change of climate. 33. What can a radio frequency reader do in the test? A. Lower the error rate of the chickadees. B. Count the times each chickadee failed. C. Collect the food information of a feeder. D. Identify the chickadee landing on a feeder. 34. What does paragraph 4 focus on about the study? A. Blood sampling. B. Genes involved. C. Ability comparing. D. Data gathered. 35. What does Scott Taylor imply in the last paragraph? A. Chickadees possess amazing evolutionary capability. B. Many other birds should improve their spacial memory. C. Food storage is vital to the survival of animals in winter. D. Chickadees’ spacial memory carries them through winter. 【答案】32. C 33. D 34. B 35. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了科学家对山雀空间记忆能力的研究及其相关发现。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Mountain chickadees (山雀) have some of the strongest spacial memories in the animal kingdom.(山雀在动物王国里有着最强烈的空间记忆。)”可知，山雀在动物界中的空间记忆能力非常强。故选C。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Each feeder has a gate equipped with a radio frequency reader capable of detecting a tag placed on chickadees by researchers.(每个喂食器都有一个门，门上装有一个射频阅读器，能够探测到研究人员在山雀身上放置的标签。)”可知，无线电频率读取器是用于认出降落在喂食器上的山雀。故选D。 【34题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第四段“The team discovered 97 genes involved in chickadee special learning and memory by comparing the birds’ genomes to their performance on the feeder test.(研究小组通过比较山雀的基因组和它们在喂食器测试中的表现，发现了97个与山雀特殊学习和记忆有关的基因。)”可知，第四段主要是关于相关的基因的，故选B。 35题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Their spacial memory is much more developed than many other birds that don’t have to have this strategy to survive cold winters.(它们的空间记忆比许多其他鸟类要发达得多，其他鸟类不需要这种策略来度过寒冷的冬天。)”可知，空间记忆帮助山雀度过寒冬。故选D。 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，有两项为多余选项。 How to Increase Your Levels of Optimism The way in which you achieve your goals, face challenges, and overcome failures depends largely on your levels of optimism. Not everyone sees life in the same way.____36____ Change your negative thoughts. Your mind takes in negative memories and makes them bigger and more significant than they really are.____37____ The next step is to reduce them by comparing them to related or similar memories that are more pleasant. In this way, you gradually change them and select new thoughts. This requires a learning process that’ll take some time to practice. However, with patience, you’ll achieve the desired results. Express gratitude. When you face a challenge, it’s advisable to figure out what’s going well. By taking the time to do this, you allow yourself to register the positive aspects that you experience. To help your brain store these positive events, you should take time each week to analyze what you should be grateful for. ____38____ Repeat positive affirmations(肯定). One key element for increasing your levels of optimism that you get with previous two steps is positive affirmations. In fact, these messages that you repeat to yourself most regularly are the ones that you believe in and that determine your vision of life.____39____ You can start with one or two affirmations that represent the values you want to live by and the goals you want to achieve. For example, tell yourself “Every day I’m improving” or “I’m living my best moment”.____40____ Furthermore, it’ll make you stronger in the face of them and you’ll maintain your optimism. A. People tend to hold the same attitude towards life. B. However, you can always train your mind to generate or maintain optimism. C. They must be repeated with strong belief and be a constant in your daily life. D. First you should figure out what matters in your life and focus on positive messages. E. Therefore, every time you have negative thoughts, analyze and view them more objectively. F. The next step is to let your loved ones know that you love them and you’re grateful to them. G. The repetition of phrases similar to these will allow your mind to interpret negative events differently. 【答案】36. B 37. E 38. F 39. C 40. G 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了“如何提高你乐观程度”的一些方法。 【36题详解】 前文“The way in which you achieve your goals, face challenges, and overcome failures depends largely on your levels of optimism. Not everyone sees life in the same way.(你实现目标、面对挑战和克服失败的方式在很大程度上取决于你的乐观程度。不是每个人都以同样的方式看待生活。)”说明了成功与否取决于你的乐观态度，但是每个人对待生活的态度不一样。B项“However, you can always train your mind to generate or maintain optimism.(然而，你总是可以训练你的思维来产生或保持乐观。)”说明了想要成功，必须保持乐观的态度，与前文意义一致，符合语境。且下文就如何保持乐观给出了具体的建议。故选B项。 【37题详解】 本段主题句“Change your negative thoughts. (改变你的消极想法。)”强调了改变消极想法的重要性；空前句“Your mind takes in negative memories and makes them bigger and more significant than they really are.(你的大脑吸收了消极的记忆，使它们比实际情况更大、更重要。)”说明了消极的记忆其实没有那么大、那么重要。E项“Therefore, every time you have negative thoughts, analyze and view them more objectively.(因此，每当你有消极的想法时，更客观地分析和看待它们。)”与前文构成因果逻辑关系，说明了分析消极想法的重要性，符合语境。故选E项。 【38题详解】 本段主题句“Express gratitude.(表达感激)。”强调了表达感激的重要性。F项“The next step is to let your loved ones know that you love them and you’re grateful to them.(下一步是让你爱的人知道你爱他们，你感激他们。)”提出了感激，且自然顺承了前文“To help your brain store these positive events, you should take time each week to analyze what you should be grateful for. (为了帮助你的大脑储存这些积极的事件，你应该每周花时间分析你应该感激的事情。)”，即要先分析出要感激的对象，然后再去感激。故选F项。 【39题详解】 本段主题句“Repeat positive affirmations. (重复积极的肯定.)”强调了重复积极的肯定的重要性。C项“They must be repeated with strong belief and be a constant in your daily life.(它们必须带着坚定的信念不断重复，并在你的日常生活中保持不变。)”说明了积极的重复的具体做法，且C项中“They”指代前文中“positive affirmations”和“These messages”。故选C项。 【40题详解】 前文“For example, tell yourself “Every day I’m improving” or “I’m living my best moment”.(例如，告诉自己“我每天都在进步”或“我正活在最美好的时刻”。)”给出了积极肯定的一些具体例子。G项“The repetition of phrases similar to these will allow your mind to interpret negative events differently.(重复类似的短语会让你的大脑以不同的方式解释消极事件。)”是对该作法的好处的总结。且G项中“these”指代前文中给到的例子““Every day I’m improving” or “I’m living my best moment”.”故选G项。 第三部分英语知识运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节完形填空(共15小题;每小题1分，满分 15分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Smith brought his three-month-old son out for breakfast one day.

Dotted in this natural landscape are the human structures like pavilions and long winding corridors, so ____58____ (perfect) belonging to the scenery as to become a whole with it. The Chinese garden ____59____ (characterize) by studied disorderliness. There are no even-cut bushes or symmetric (对称的) rows lining avenues.

What 65. that 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章选自林语堂的《吾国与吾民》，主要从与西方园林的不同之处入手，介绍了中国园林的特色、风格和蕴含的精神。 【56题详解】 考查名词。句意：英文中的“garden”一词对中国的“园”有一个完全错误的理解，因为“garden”指的是草坪和各种各样的花，太过正式和整齐，不符合中国人的品味。根据“a wide”和“of”可知，此处用固定短语a wide variety of，意为“各种各样的”。故填variety。 【57题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：中国的“园”首先让人联想到一种野生的景观，也许比自然布置得更好，规划得更有艺术感，但仍然有一点自然本身，有树木、小溪和鲜花。分析句子可知，此处为非谓语，动词plan“规划”和前文名词landscape逻辑上是被动关系，应用plan的过去分词和arranged并列作后置定语。故填planned。 【58题详解】 考查副词。句意：亭台楼阁、蜿蜒的长廊等人文建筑点缀在自然景观中，与自然景观浑然一体。修饰belonging应用副词perfectly“完美地，极佳地”。故填perfectly。 【59题详解】 考查时态语态和主谓一致。句意：中国园林的特点是刻意营造的无序。分析句子可知，空处作句子的谓语，此处在描述一般性的事实，用一般现在时，characterize“成为……的特征”和主语The Chinese garden之间是被动关系，应用被动语态，且主语是单数，be动词应用is。故填is characterized。 【60题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：没有哪座中国房子允许外人透过铁门往外看，因为那违反了隐蔽的原则。allow sb. to do sth.“允许某人做某事” 是固定短语，应用look的不定式形式，作宾语补足语。故填to look。 【61题详解】 考查冠词。句意：面对大门，我们看到一个小庭院，里面没有宽敞的空间，在一系列的惊喜和惊讶中，引导（我们）一步一步进入新的视野。根据“continual series of”可知，此处用固定短语a series of，意为“一系列的……”，且continual的发音以辅音音素开头，应用a。故填a。 【62题详解】 考查介词。句意：木质框架支撑着房屋的大部分重量，窗户、门和墙壁并不局限于特定的位置。分析句子可知，空处和空后的名词短语wooden framework、现在分词短语supporting most of the weight of the house构成状语，应用介词with构成with的复合结构，说明背景情况。首字母需大写。故填With。 【63题详解】 考查形容词。句意：家居设计不是我们从一流公司购买的令人印象深刻的东西。分析句子可知，修饰不定代词something应用其形容词形式impressive“令人印象深刻的”作后置定语。故填impressive。 【64题详解】 考查主语从句。句意：将一个家与一个公共建筑区分开来的是我们赋予它的个人风格。分析句子可知，空处引导主语从句，从句缺少主语，应用连接代词what引导，意为“……的事物”。what的首字母需大写。故填What。 【65题详解】 考查强调句型。句意：只有有了悠闲和关怀的精神，居家生活才能成为一种艺术和一种乐趣。分析可知，此处为强调句型“it be+被强调部分+that…”，强调only when引导的条件状语从句。故填that。 第四部分写作(共两节，满分40分) 第一节(满分15分) 66. 假定你是正在英国交换学习的李华，你的英国笔友Jerry写信邀请你本周末去他的家乡游玩，你因故无法前往，请你回信表达歉意，内容包括： 1. 无法前往的原因; 2. 提出弥补的办法。 注意： 1. 词数80左右; 2. 可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯; Dear Jerry, ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours, Li Hua 【答案】Dear Jerry, Thank you for enthusiastically inviting me to your hometown this weekend.

Icicles (冰锥) hung three feet or more from the roofs of houses and snow swallowed up cars. The puppy had been abandoned, and it made its way down the road toward the Laceys’ small house, with its ears down and trembling from shyness and cold. Doris, whose school had been called off because of the snow, was clearing the steps when she spotted the puppy on the road. “Come on, little dog!” she called it over. The puppy shyly wagged its tail when Doris approached. As soon as Doris put the dog down in the kitchen, her mom, Mrs. Lacey, asked where the dog came from. Mr. Lacey, who was cleaning his fingernails with his pocketknife at the table, said, “I don’t know where it came from, but I know for sure where it’s going.” Doris hugged the puppy hard against her. She said nothing. Because of the snowy weather, Mr. Lacey couldn’t take the puppy to the shelter right away. So, it stayed in the basement, and Doris fed it leftovers, even though her mom didn’t want to waste food. Doris thought the puppy was around six months old and would be quite noisy sometimes. Surprisingly, the puppy behaved well, didn’t cry or make trouble in the basement, and only followed Doris upstairs when she invited it. Doris often found it on the basement steps listening to the kitchen talk and smelling the food. She felt the puppy wanted company. Even after a week, Doris didn’t name the dog, knowing her parents wouldn’t let her keep it. Her father made so little money that any pets were out of the question. Desperate to keep the dog. Doris tried to convince her parents by praising the dog’s good behavior and expressing her love for it, but her parents didn’t give a definite answer. Despite her efforts, Doris secretly wished the bad weather would never go away, fearing the puppy’s unavoidable trip to the shelter. However, nine days after the dog had arrived, the sun was shining. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Doris knew it was time to say goodbye to the dog. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Doris put her hand to her mouth and couldn’t believe what she had heard. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文 Doris knew it was time to say goodbye to the dog. Recalling the nine days she spent with the puppy, a mixture of worries and sadness swept over Doris. However, the dog wagged its tail and it didn’t know the cruel truth. When Doris hugged the dog and walked to her parents, she made one last attempt to convince her parents to let her keep it. “I really want to raise the dog. I can accompany it for a long time and I will take care of it. Please!”. Mr. Lacey and his wife Mamie looked at each other and finally agreed, “OK, you will take the responsibility for raising it.” Doris put her hand to her mouth and couldn’t believe what she had heard. Overjoyed and speechless with happiness, she rushed to hug her parents and expressed her gratitude. Then she named the dog Treasure and prepared a little home for it. Treasure wagged its tail happily as if it knew that it was accepted by the family. Now Doris had a new friend. She beamed at Treasure, anticipating the new life with the friend. It was on that day that Doris realized the love and kindness would make a big difference. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了莱西先生和他的妻子玛米以及他们的女儿多丽丝住在一起。在一个非常寒冷的一月，一只小狗在莱西先生的房子里游荡，多丽丝发现了这只小狗，带回了家，父母想要送去收容所，最后还是同意了抚养这只狗。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“多丽丝知道是时候和狗说再见了”可知，第一段可描写多丽丝企图说服父母，父母最终同意养狗。 ②由第二段首句内容“多丽丝用手捂住嘴，简直不敢相信自己所听到的”可知，第二段可描写多丽丝收养了小狗，狗成为了家庭成员。 2.续写线索：说再见——多丽丝悲伤担忧——说服父母——父母同意养狗——多丽丝高兴——多丽丝感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①期待：anticipate/expect ②拥抱：hug/embrace ③照顾：take care of/look after 情绪类 ①悲伤：sadness/sorrow ②感激：gratitude/thankfulness 【点睛】[高分句型1] Recalling the nine days she spent with the puppy, a mixture of worries and sadness swept over Doris.
