B In 1983, Howard Blatt, an electrical engineer at MIT and a married father, collapsed in his kitchen due to a stroke (中风). This left him with a paralyzed arm and leg and severe aphasia. Aphasia does not affect intellect, so some aphasia sufferers liken it to living in a prison within their own brain; their minds work, yet they are unable to express themselves or understand spoken or written language. The condition can prevent them from speaking, reading, writing or comprehending, sometimes a combination of those, sometimes all of them. At least 2 million people in the U. S. have aphasia, commonly as a result of stroke. Describing his condition, Blatt said: “No talking — zip. Speech — zip. One incident. Changed life.” Blatt adapted to his physical disabilities but never fully recovered. Discovering aid networks for people with aphasia were a rarity in the early 1980s, he co- founded the Aphasia Community Group in 1990 with his wife and others. It’s one of the oldest and largest support groups for aphasia patients and their families, offering services like concerts, book groups, health information, and companionship. Mary Borelli, a stroke survivor, described the group as a lifesaver, providing understanding and a sense of belonging. The group helps break the isolation. Jerry Kaplan, a co-founder and Boston University speech- language pathologist, noted that newcomers often express relief at finding others who share their struggles. Thousands have attended since its founding, finding a safe, comfortable space to connect. Blatt focused on regaining function. He moved from a wheelchair to a leg brace, re-camed his driver’s license, and documented cross-country trips. He also pursued sculpting, house restorations, and created a newsletter called The Aphasia Advocate. Within the Group, he was a role model of adaptability and determination. The Aphasia Community Group, which will celebrate its 35th anniversary next year, remains one of Blatt’s enduring legacies. Kaplan emphasized Blatt’s determination, saying “Though given a tough break in midlife, with young children, at the top of his game in his profession, and his communication gifts were largely wiped out, he did not give in to this for 40-plus years. And not only did he survive; he thrived.” 4. What is the second paragraph mainly about? A. The consequences of a stroke. B. The huge aphasia sufferers. C. The causes of a stroke. D. The symptoms of aphasia. 5. Why did they set up the Aphasia Community Group? A. To provides companionship for lonely people. B. To address the lack of support for aphasia sufferers. C. To work on a medical cure for aphasia. D To answer the call of MIT. 6. According to the members what is the significance of the Aphasia Community Group? A. It offers them financial assistance. B. It helps them regain their speech completely. C. It creates a caring community for them. D. It conducts extensive research on their conditions. 7. Which saying effectively highlights Howard Blatt’s life story? A. Turn lemons into lemonade. B. Let nature take its course. C. As you sow, so shall you reap. D. Nothing ventured, nothing gained. C Ever since Neil Alden Armstrong took one small step onto the moon, moon dust has proved to be a messy problem for astronauts, gathering on their spacesuits and being difficult to clean off. Scientists have come up with a new solution to this problem. For their experiment, researchers dressed Barbie dolls in spacesuits constructed of materials similar to what NASA uses. Then they covered the spacesuits these dolls wore with a moon dust replacement — volcanic ash, collected from the 1980 eruption of nearby Mount Saint Helens in America, which is similar to moon dust. Then the team sprayed (喷) the dolls with liquid nitrogen (氮) to test how well liquid nitrogen could remove moon dust from the spacesuits. They found that spraying the spacesuit-wearing dolls with liquid nitrogen not only removed more than 98% of the moon dust replacement but also caused little to no damage to the spacesuit material. This proved to be a better solution than the traditional method: Apollo programme astronauts would use brushes to wipe off moon dust from their spacesuits, which would eventually severely damage the material. Not only is moon dust annoyingly clingy (黏附的) , but coming into contact with it can prove harmful to human cells and can lead to an illness that causes watery eyes, a sore throat and sneezing. “Moon dust is harmful, and it gets everywhere,” said Ian Wells, head of the research team. “It can work its way into spacesuits and make them unusable. It can also have a negative impact on astronauts’ lungs. That’s not exactly something astronauts would want to deal with while conducting an already risky mission to the moon.” Ian Wells’s team presented their findings to NASA as part of their upcoming mission to the moon and they won the space agency’s Breakthrough, Innovative and Game-Changing (BIG) Idea Challenge. “We used the doll primarily because it’s a one-sixth-scale person,” Wells said. “However, it was also chosen as the Artemis mission, aiming to send the first woman to the moon.” 8. What’s the new solution to the moon dust on spacesuits? A. Wiping it off with brushes. B. Changing the material of spacesuits. C. Covering spacesuits with volcanic ash. D. Spraying liquid nitrogen on spacesuits. 9. Why is the new moon dust removal method better than the traditional one? A. It costs much less. B. It uses devices easier to carry. C. It almost does no harm to spacesuits. D. It is friendlier to the space environment. 10. What does paragraph 4 want to stress concerning moon dust? A. Its research value. B. Its severe harmfulness. C. Its physical feature. D. Its formation process. 11. What might be NASA’s attitude towards Wells’ team’s findings? A. Uncaring. B. Doubtful. C. Unclear. D. Supportive. D A broken heart and a sad ending to a long friendship. That’s something most of us have experienced, or probably will. After all, it’s part of human life. But the experience can be hard to get over. But research shows there are pathways through the heartache. Listening to sad music is a major one. It can help you begin to feel joy and hopefulness about your life again. It can arouse the desire to connect with others. Sad music can help heal and uplift you from your broken heart. A recent study from Germany found the emotional influence of listening to sad music is an arousal of feelings of empathy (同情), and a desire for positive connection with others. That, itself, is psychologically healing. It draws you away from concentration on yourself, and possibly towards helping others in need of comfort. Another experiment, from the University of Kent, found that when people were experiencing sadness, listening to music that was “beautiful but sad” improved their mood. In fact, it did so when the person first consciously accept the situation causing their sadness, and then began listening to the sad music. That is, when they intended that the sad music might help, they found that it did. These findings link with other studies that show accepting your sad situation emotionally leads to healing and growth beyond it. It seems unbelievable but it does make sense. For example, research from Cornell University found that accepting discomfort about a life experience or new situation, and viewing it as a step towards growth and change, encourages people to find a pathway through it, beyond it. As Churchill famously said, “If you’re going through hell, keep going.” That discomfort points you towards creating a plan, a new action. It brings hope. 12. What can we learn from Paragraph 3&4? A. Sad music can make people help others. B. Sad music can make sad people feel better. C. Sad music can make people believe in themselves. D. Sad music can make people concentrate on themselves. 13. What does the phrase underlined in the last paragraph mean? A. Hearing a swear word used by enemies. B. Avoiding a place to go after death. C. Getting an extremely pleasant time. D. Having an-unbearable experience. 14. How does the author develop this article? A. By presenting research findings. B. By giving directions. C. By listing authoritative figures. D. By comparing examples. 15. Which of the following can be the best title for the article? A. How to Find Pathways through Heartaches B. How We React to a Broken Heart Matters a Lot C. What We Can Do to Overcome Discomfort in Life D. Why Listening to Sad Music Heals Your Broken Heart 第二节 七选五 Turning the Page Life is filled with numerous victories and downfalls, but what matters is how you tackle each situation. May it be your love life or a serious life struggle, we must learn to move on. ____16____ Draw a line mentally. Life is going to throw a lot of problems.

These could be your family and close friends. Try everything in your hands. How can you move on from a struggle unless you have tried everything in your hands?

I know that situation as I have been there. ____19____ Try solutions that you never ever dreamed of, and who knows, they might actually make things better for you. Let go of your past.

Though painful, we can get something out of them. D. Here’s how you can create a new chapter in your life. E. What you can do in this kind of situation is draw a mental line. F.

How she hoped her parents would give her a pair! In vain (徒劳) her mother explained that Brenda might not learn to use them as easily as other children, and that she might fall many times and perhaps hurt herself before she could skate properly. Brenda wanted skates and that was that. She thought about skates all day and dreamed about skates all night. She pictured herself skating to school and home, skating to the stores for Mother, and skating all over the yard. Her birthday came at last, and with it the precious package which she had been eager for. Before she opened it, she guessed there were skates inside. And there were — beautiful new shiny skates. Just her size, too. Brenda was on cloud nine. She felt she had never been so happy in all her life. And now it was time to practice with them. Hardly was breakfast over when she was out on the smooth concrete(水泥地).“At last,”she thought,“I am going to skate! Hooray!” Excitedly she put on her precious pairs of skates and eagerly she stood up. But only for a moment. Suddenly to her great surprise, away went both her feet from under her. Down she went. Brenda stood up again. But hardly had she put one foot forward, when the other started running backward, and down she went again. This really hurt, and Brenda felt very much like crying. Slowly she got up once more despite the pain and started to walk with great care. But before she knew what was going on, she was sitting on the concrete again. She felt very sad, tears filling her eyes. All her hopes of skating to school and town like the other girls disappeared. She began to wish she had never asked for skates for her birthday. She cried, taking off the skates from her feet and throwing them inside the back door. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； Mother saw all this and asked Brenda what was wrong. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Slowly Brenda put on the skates, got up and tried again. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 潮州市暨实高级中学高二年级九月月考 英语 考试时间：120分钟 试卷分值：120分 第I卷（选择题） 一、阅读理解 A One of the common truths about the world is that giving back is a great way to feel good about yourself and the world.

That’s something most of us have experienced, or probably will. After all, it’s part of human life. But the experience can be hard to get over. But research shows there are pathways through the heartache. Listening to sad music is a major one. It can help you begin to feel joy and hopefulness about your life again. It can arouse the desire to connect with others. Sad music can help heal and uplift you from your broken heart. A recent study from Germany found the emotional influence of listening to sad music is an arousal of feelings of empathy (同情), and a desire for positive connection with others. That, itself, is psychologically healing. It draws you away from concentration on yourself, and possibly towards helping others in need of comfort. Another experiment, from the University of Kent, found that when people were experiencing sadness, listening to music that was “beautiful but sad” improved their mood. In fact, it did so when the person first consciously accept the situation causing their sadness, and then began listening to the sad music. That is, when they intended that the sad music might help, they found that it did. These findings link with other studies that show accepting your sad situation emotionally leads to healing and growth beyond it. It seems unbelievable but it does make sense. For example, research from Cornell University found that accepting discomfort about a life experience or new situation, and viewing it as a step towards growth and change, encourages people to find a pathway through it, beyond it. As Churchill famously said, “If you’re going through hell, keep going.” That discomfort points you towards creating a plan, a new action. It brings hope. 12. What can we learn from Paragraph 3&4? A. Sad music can make people help others. B. Sad music can make sad people feel better. C. Sad music can make people believe in themselves. D. Sad music can make people concentrate on themselves. 13. What does the phrase underlined in the last paragraph mean? A. Hearing a swear word used by enemies. B. Avoiding a place to go after death. C. Getting an extremely pleasant time. D. Having an-unbearable experience. 14. How does the author develop this article? A. By presenting research findings. B. By giving directions. C. By listing authoritative figures. D. By comparing examples. 15. Which of the following can be the best title for the article? A. How to Find Pathways through Heartaches B. How We React to a Broken Heart Matters a Lot C. What We Can Do to Overcome Discomfort in Life D. Why Listening to Sad Music Heals Your Broken Heart 【答案】12. B 13. D 14. A 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了听悲伤的音乐在治愈心灵创伤中的作用，相关研究表明，听悲伤的音乐可以帮助人们重新感受到生活的快乐和希望，唤起同理心，并激发与他人建立积极联系的欲望。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“Sad music can help heal and uplift you from your broken heart. (悲伤的音乐可以帮助你从破碎的心灵中治愈和振作起来。)”和第四段中“Another experiment, from the University of Kent, found that when people were experiencing sadness, listening to music that was ‘beautiful but sad’ improved their mood. (肯特大学的另一项实验发现，当人们感到悲伤时，听‘美丽但悲伤’的音乐可以改善他们的情绪。)”可知，悲伤的音乐对悲伤的人而言有治愈作用，能改善他们的情绪，即可以让他们感觉好一些。故选B项。 【13题详解】 词句猜测题。根据画线词的下文“That discomfort points you towards creating a plan, a new action. It brings hope. (这种不适会让你制定一个计划，一个新的行动。它带来了希望。)”可推知，此处描述的一种不适的、糟糕的经历。结合选项内容可知，画线短语意思应该是“有难以忍受的经历”。故选D项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“A recent study from Germany found the emotional influence of listening to sad music is an arousal of feelings of empathy (同情), and a desire for positive connection with others. (德国最近的一项研究发现，听悲伤的音乐对情绪的影响是一种同理心的唤起，以及与他人建立积极联系的渴望。)”、第四段中“Another experiment, from the University of Kent, found that when people were experiencing sadness, listening to music that was ‘beautiful but sad’ improved their mood. (肯特大学的另一项实验发现，当人们感到悲伤时，听‘美丽但悲伤’的音乐可以改善他们的情绪。)”和最后一段中“For example, research from Cornell University found that accepting discomfort about a life experience or new situation, and viewing it as a step towards growth and change, encourages people to find a pathway through it, beyond it. (例如，康奈尔大学的研究发现，接受对生活经历或新情况的不适，并将其视为迈向成长和改变的一步，会鼓励人们找到克服和超越它的途径。)”可知，文章呈现了多个研究结果，来表明听悲伤音乐的积极作用。故选A项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第二段中“But research shows there are pathways through the heartache. Listening to sad music is a major one. (但研究表明，心痛是有缓解途径的。听悲伤的音乐是主要的一种途径。)”可知，文章主要介绍了听悲伤的音乐在治愈心灵创伤中的作用，这些作用包括帮助人们重新感受到生活的快乐和希望，唤起同理心，并激发与他人建立积极联系的欲望等。因此，D项“为什么听悲伤的音乐能治愈你破碎的心”契合文章主旨，适合作为文章标题。故选D项。 第二节 七选五 Turning the Page Life is filled with numerous victories and downfalls, but what matters is how you tackle each situation.

How she hoped her parents would give her a pair! In vain (徒劳) her mother explained that Brenda might not learn to use them as easily as other children, and that she might fall many times and perhaps hurt herself before she could skate properly. Brenda wanted skates and that was that. She thought about skates all day and dreamed about skates all night.

Her birthday came at last, and with it the precious package which she had been eager for. Before she opened it, she guessed there were skates inside. And there were — beautiful new shiny skates. Just her size, too. Brenda was on cloud nine. She felt she had never been so happy in all her life. And now it was time to practice with them. Hardly was breakfast over when she was out on the smooth concrete(水泥地).“At last,”she thought,“I am going to skate! Hooray!” Excitedly she put on her precious pairs of skates and eagerly she stood up. But only for a moment. Suddenly, to her great surprise, away went both her feet from under her. Down she went. Brenda stood up again. But hardly had she put one foot forward, when the other started running backward, and down she went again. This really hurt, and Brenda felt very much like crying. Slowly she got up once more despite the pain and started to walk with great care. But before she knew what was going on, she was sitting on the concrete again. She felt very sad, tears filling her eyes. All her hopes of skating to school and town like the other girls disappeared. She began to wish she had never asked for skates for her birthday. She cried, taking off the skates from her feet and throwing them inside the back door. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； Mother saw all this and asked Brenda what was wrong __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Slowly Brenda put on the skates, got up and tried again. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Mother saw all this and asked Brenda what was wrong. “I just can't do it,” Brenda sobbed, “I'm just no good at skating.” Hearing what her daughter said, Mother sat down beside her and said genteelly, “You know, Brenda, everyone falls when they first start to skate. It's part of learning. The important thing is to keep trying. Try another time and I am sure you can do it” She gently wiped away Brenda's tears and encouraged her to try again. Slowly Brenda put on the skates, got up and tried again. With each attempt, she fell less frequently and with less force. Her mother cheered her on, offering tips and praise. Eventually, Brenda managed to glide a few feet without falling. Her face lit up with a smile, “I did it, Mom! ” she exclaimed. Mother hugged her, “Yes, you did! And you'll do even better tomorrow. ” The skates, once a source of frustration, now symbolized a lesson in perseverance and the joy of accomplishment. 【解析】 【导语】本文以Brenda学习滑冰的经历为线索展开，讲述了她从渴望得到滑冰鞋，到初次尝试失败，再到最终在母亲的鼓励下重新尝试并取得进步的过程。 【详解】段落续写： 由第一段首句内容“母亲看到了这一切，问Brenda怎么了。”可知，第一段可描写Brenda向母亲表达她的挫败感和自我怀疑，以及母亲给予她的鼓励和支持。 由第二段首句内容“Brenda慢慢地穿上滑冰鞋，站起来再试一次。”可知，第二段可描写Brenda在母亲的鼓励下再次尝试，逐渐取得进步，并最终感受到成功的喜悦。 续写线索：表达挫败感——母亲的鼓励——再次尝试——逐渐进步——成功喜悦 词汇激活 行为类 对……擅长：be good at/be expert at 给予鼓励：encourage/offer support 再次尝试：try again /make another attempt 情绪类 感到沮丧：feel frustrated/feel discouraged 感到高兴：feel happy/be delighted 【点睛】[高分句型1].
