Edward didn’t ask if he could join, because the last time he played, Leon’s friends couldn’t stand his poor skills and didn’t want him to play again. “Sorry, man,” Leon tried to be kind. “Everyone has a talent for something,” he told Edward. “Basketball just isn’t your thing, like math isn’t mine.” Edward was always good at math and could solve many difficult problems. A few days later, Leon’s math teacher told him he was going to fail the class if he could not get a good grade in the next test. Leon wished that he had his brother’s math skills, so he asked Edward for help. Looking down at his book, Edward said, “I really hope to get better at basketball. I’ll help you with math, and maybe we can practice basketball together, too.” Leon knew how hopeless Edward was at basketball. But then again, he felt the same way about math. “Let’s give it a shot,” Leon said. The boys agreed that over the next two weeks, they would do math for an hour each day after school and then play basketball for another hour. A few days later, Leon got his test back. “We did it!” he shouted as he ran into the house after school. “I got an A. I’m going to pass this class. And it’s all because of you,” he said, giving his brother a hug. The next day, they went to the basketball court. Leon asked his friends to let Edward play on his team. This time, the brothers won! “That was a pretty good basketball game for a math whiz (高手),” said Leon as he and Edward headed home. “Just like your math grade, right?” Edward said, still excited from their victory (胜利). “It was a pretty good grade for a basketball star.” 26. Why didn’t Edward ask to join in the basketball game? A. He was going to have a math class. B. He was not interested in basketball. C. He was not good at basketball. D. He had to meet his friends. 27. How did Leon feel about his math at first? A. Angry. B. Interested. C. Confident. D. Hopeless. 28. What does the story mainly tell us? A. We should focus on what we like. B. It’s important to be good at many things. C. Don’t hold on to things that we’re not good at. D. Working together can help everyone to improve. C Why Can’t I Get This Song Out of My Head? “I Remember Everything is my favorite song. It’s soft and touching. But I have had it stuck (停留) in my head for two weeks and it’s making me crazy. Why is this happening?” asked a 7th grade student. You’re not alone! This is a common thing called an “earworm” and it can happen to people all the time. Scientists are trying to find out why earworms happen. One thing they know is that songs that get stuck in our heads are usually ones we’ve listened to not long ago. But it can also happen if you hear a word or a sound that reminds you of a song. Some songs are more likely to get stuck in our heads. For example, songs with a fast beat seem to stick more easily. The more we hear a song, the more likely it is to become an earworm. “Yet songs usually only tend to cause earworms when you’re doing certain kinds of activities,” Dr. Hyman said. In one of his studies, researchers had participants (参与者) listen to a well-known song. The next day, the researchers asked them under what situation the song went back into their heads. The results showed that songs were most likely to appear as earworms when the tasks caused a wandering mind. “Such activities can include walking, showering or doing dishes.” Dr. Hyman said. But more difficult tasks, like hard schoolwork, can also cause a wandering mind. The reason could be that we have more space in our brain for earworms when we aren’t totally focused on the task at hand. Now, you might be wondering how to get rid of an earworm. One thing you can try is chewing gum (口香糖). Maybe it’s because chewing gum uses up the same parts of the brain that play the earworm. Another idea is to change your state of mind. Talking to someone you don’t know very well might help you forget the earworm. The next time you have a song stuck in your head, remember that it’s a common thing. And keep exploring and find which way works best for you! Remember, earworms are a part of life, and they show that our brains are remembering things. It’s all part of the fascinating way our minds work. 29. Why does the writer use the example of the 7th grade student in Paragraph 1? A. To share a beautiful song. B. To introduce the idea of earworms. C. To prove earworms happen to everyone. D. To describe a problem of junior students. 30. Dr. Hyman’s research in Paragraph 5 is to ________. A. look into how popular songs lead to earworms B. explain why certain songs cause earworms easily C. come up with useful ways to get rid of earworms D. find out when earworms are more likely to happen 31. What does the word “wandering” in Paragraph 6 most probably mean? A. less focused B. more forgetful C. clearer D. more creative 32. What can we learn from the passage about earworms? A. Earworms only happen when we have nothing to do. B. Talking to friends can help us forget the earworm. C. Even just a sound of a song can lead to earworms. D. Slow and soft songs are more likely to cause earworms. D It is natural to compare ourselves with others and to end up in a mental (内心的) comparison circle. However, this is never beneficial (有益的). You may have heard the words, “Comparison is the thief of joy.” To me, this is true. I find it is quite difficult to compare myself with others and feel joy at the same time. Comparison not only takes away our joy, but also leads to self-criticism (自我批评) and a lack (缺乏) of self-acceptance (自我接纳). Usually, comparison makes us think that others are better than us in some way. As a result, we may feel inferior (自卑的). “I am not as successful or attractive as they are. Why don’t I have what they have?” We use comparison as a way to self-criticism, “What’s wrong with me? I must be a loser.” This slows down self-acceptance. Comparison is deceptive (误导人的). It seems to tell us that if we meet the expectations (期待) such as losing weight or getting a great score, we will feel better, confident and stop comparing ourselves. However, this may be true only for a short time. In fact, a comparison is based on our inner thoughts and sense of self (自我感知), not surroundings (周围环境). Soon we will find something else to compare, another expectation we are not meeting, leaving us feeling worse once again. A student might celebrate being chosen for the school play, but then compare the importance of their role to that of the lead actor, resulting in new feelings of inferiority (自卑) and getting stuck into another circle of comparison. To stop comparing ourselves with others, we should know that comparison is a losing game and then step away from it. Comparison should not be the reason we decide to change. Instead, we try to change because of our own values (价值). Think about your values and match your behaviors and decisions with your values. This does not mean we ignore (忽视) things that we may want to change. It means these changes and goals are based on values not comparison with others. Behaviors and decisions are a matter of personal choice, not a way to keep up with others. Self-acceptance isn’t about fixing anything about yourself, it is about accepting who you are today. 33. What is Paragraph 2 mainly about? A. The results of comparison. B. The joy of self-acceptance. C. The necessity of self-criticism. D. The reasons for comparison. 34. The writer suggests that comparison is deceptive because ________. A. it is always based on our surroundings B. it only offers us short-term happiness C. it always comes from false information D. it prevents us from making personal choices 35. The writer probably agrees that ________. A. we should focus our own values and self-acceptance B. we can improve ourselves by setting up higher goals C. we shouldn’t pay attention to things we need to change D. we will stop comparison as long as we achieve our goals 36. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A. Why it’s Beneficial to Compare B. Turn from Values to Comparison C. How Self-acceptance Works D. Say Goodbye to Comparison 阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。 Indian-origin Anvitha Vijay has given a new meaning to the phrase “age is just a number”. She has shown that achievements and knowledge come from passion, not just age and experience. Anvitha Vijay lives with her parents in Melbourne, Australia. At the age of seven, she realized that her piggy bank (存钱罐) did not have enough money to find a developer to help make her an app. So, she decided to teach herself how to code (编程). She watched many coding lessons on the web for an entire year and became a programmer herself through her hard work. Vijay’s idea for developing the apps came from her little sister, who was still learning to talk. So, she developed an educational app for children of her sister’s age. The app is called Smartkins. It uses about 100 sounds and flashcards of different animals to help children learn and identify (识别). Later, Vijay developed a similar iOS app for children to identify and learn colors. Each app has been downloaded thousands of times. Anvitha’s skills won her a scholarship (奖学金) to attend a big tech conference by Apple in San Francisco, California. There, she got tips from some professors. She went to workshops where she learned about the latest software for app building. From then on, she showed stronger love for learning new technology. All that training led to an idea for a third app. The third app, called GoalsHi, is designed to help kids to practice good habits. Users get prizes for achieving goals, such as eating their vegetables or practicing the piano. Anvitha says the prizes are like getting a sticker for a job well done. Anvitha’s goal is to continue creating technology that helps kids learn while having fun. But what is even more important to her is that the world sees the power of technology in kids’ hands. “The more training we get in tech at an early age,” she says, “the better chance we have of becoming creators who will one day change the world.” 37. How old was Vijay when she learned to code? _______________________________________________________________________________________________ 38. What is the purpose of GoalsHi? _______________________________________________________________________________________________ 39.

We all grew up hearing moms tell us to “go out and get some fresh air”. ____49____ According to recent studies, the answer is a big YES, if the air quality in your living area is good. ____50____ If the air you’re breathing is clean—which it would be if you’re away from the smog (雾霾) of cities—then the air is filled with fresh oxygen (氧气). If you exercise outdoors, your body will learn to breathe more deeply, allowing even more oxygen to get to your muscles and your brain. Recently, people have begun studying the relation between the natural world and healing (治疗). ____51____ In these places patients can go to be near nature. It shows that just looking at green, growing things can reduce stress, lower blood pressure, and put people into a better mood. Greenery is good for us. Hospital patients who see trees outside are likely to heal at a faster rate than patients who see buildings or sky instead. Being in nature refreshes us. It gives us a great feeling of peace. ____52____ While the sunshine can age and harm our skin, it also gives us Vitamin D. To make sure you get enough Vitamin D—but still protect your skin—put on sunscreen (防晒霜) right as you head outside. It takes sunscreen about fifteen minutes to start working, and that’s plenty of time for your skin to take in Vitamin D for the day. A. Fresh air cleans our lungs (肺部). B. Just as importantly, we tend to relate air with health care. C. Another benefit of getting fresh air is sunlight. D. But is fresh air really as good for you as your mother always said? E. All across the country, healing centers have begun building Healing Gardens. 十二、阅读理解。（共12分，68-71题，每小题2分，72题4分） The 2024 Paris Olympic Games ended on August 11, showcasing the amazing talents of China’s young athletes across various sports. While they embodied the Olympic motto of “Faster, Higher, Stronger—Together”, there has been a shift (转换) in perspectives (观点) on winning as a recognition of the true essence of the Olympic spirit. Since the beginning of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, many exciting and unforgettable moments have been shared by athletes and audiences worldwide. We have cheered for victories and comforted those who fell short. But beyond the winning and losing, there is something more to admire. On August 4, 21-year-old Zheng Qinwen made history for Chinese tennis by winning the first gold medal in women’s singles for both China and Asia. Just the following day, the young Chinese swimming team ended the US’s decades long unbeaten period in the men’s 4×100m relay, finishing in 3 minutes and 27.46 seconds. By winning gold medals in events once dominated by Western athletes, these young competitors have shown a remarkable improvement in China’s competitive sports landscape. Equally inspiring is the positive attitude of these young athletes. They are confident and open-minded, striving for excellence and breakthrough performances. Moreover, they have moved away from the “gold medal only” mentality, embracing a more composed and rational (理性的) approach to sports. From 18-year-old BMX freestyle cyclist Deng Yawen to 26-year-old swimmer Zhang Yufei, many young athletes have attracted global audiences with their self-assured approach to competition. They genuinely enjoy competing. When Zhang, China’s “butterfly queen”, missed out on a gold medal, she said, “I hope this time I can have a relaxed attitude and really enjoy the Olympics.” This shift (转换) in mindset (思维模式) and demeanor has moved the public focus away from just winning gold medals to appreciating the respect and glory that athletes and the Olympics truly deserve. Success is the goal, but they remain equally graceful in the face of failure, embodying the deep integration of Chinese values with the Olympic spirit. It’s not just about being faster, higher, stronger, but also about embracing sports with a positive attitude. 53. What does the underlined phrase “fell short” mean in Paragraph 2? A. Fell apart. B. Made outstanding advances. C. Achieved success. D. Failed to meet expectations. 54. The 2024 Paris Olympic Games is inspiring, except that ________. A. young athletes made determination to just win gold medals B. young competitors displayed positive and confident mindset C. young competitors improved a lot in China’s competitive sports D. young athletes attracted global audience with confident approach 55. Why does the author mention Zhang Yufei in Paragraph 4? A. To emphasize the importance of the Paris Olympic Games. B. To praise athletes’relaxed mindset in Paris Olympic Games. C. To prove athletes’good performance in Paris Olympic Games. D. To show Zhang’s regret for losing a gold medal in Paris Olympic Games. 56. How has the perspective on winning among China’s young athletes changed according to the passage? A. They have adopted a more relaxed approach to competition. B. They believe that winning is the only measure of success. C. They focus solely on breaking records in their sports. D. They now prioritize winning over personal growth. 57. According to the passage, share your understanding of “the spirit of sports is not just about winning competitions.” How do you think this mindset can affect you as a student? _______________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 北师大实验中学2024-2025学年度第一学期期中测试初二英语试卷 班级：__________ 姓名：__________ 学号：__________ 考 生 须 知 1. 本试卷共15页，共12道大题，72道小题；答题纸共2页；A卷满分100分，B卷（选做）满分20分；考试时间90分钟。 2. 在试卷和答题卡上准确填写班级、姓名、学号。 3. 试卷答案一律填写在答题卡上，在试卷上作答无效。 4. 在答题卡上，选择题用2B铅笔将选中项涂黑涂满，其他试题用黑色签字笔作答。 5. 切勿使用涂改带、涂改液。 命题人：初二英语备课组 审题人：张晶 毛瑛 A卷 听力理解（共20分） 一、听后选择。（共9分，每小题1.5分） 听下面三段对话或独白，根据所听内容从每题所给的A、B、C三个选项中选择最佳选项。每段对话或独白你将听两遍。 听下面一段对话，回答第1至第2小题。 1.

Edward didn’t ask if he could join, because the last time he played, Leon’s friends couldn’t stand his poor skills and didn’t want him to play again. “Sorry, man,” Leon tried to be kind. “Everyone has a talent for something,” he told Edward. “Basketball just isn’t your thing, like math isn’t mine.” Edward was always good at math and could solve many difficult problems. A few days later, Leon’s math teacher told him he was going to fail the class if he could not get a good grade in the next test. Leon wished that he had his brother’s math skills, so he asked Edward for help. Looking down at his book, Edward said, “I really hope to get better at basketball. I’ll help you with math, and maybe we can practice basketball together, too.” Leon knew how hopeless Edward was at basketball. But then again, he felt the same way about math. “Let’s give it a shot,” Leon said. The boys agreed that over the next two weeks, they would do math for an hour each day after school and then play basketball for another hour. A few days later, Leon got his test back. “We did it!” he shouted as he ran into the house after school. “I got an A. I’m going to pass this class. And it’s all because of you,” he said, giving his brother a hug. The next day, they went to the basketball court. Leon asked his friends to let Edward play on his team.

It’s soft and touching. But I have had it stuck (停留) in my head for two weeks and it’s making me crazy. Why is this happening?” asked a 7th grade student. You’re not alone! This is a common thing called an “earworm” and it can happen to people all the time. Scientists are trying to find out why earworms happen. One thing they know is that songs that get stuck in our heads are usually ones we’ve listened to not long ago. But it can also happen if you hear a word or a sound that reminds you of a song. Some songs are more likely to get stuck in our heads. For example, songs with a fast beat seem to stick more easily. The more we hear a song, the more likely it is to become an earworm. “Yet songs usually only tend to cause earworms when you’re doing certain kinds of activities,” Dr. Hyman said. In one of his studies, researchers had participants (参与者) listen to a well-known song. The next day, the researchers asked them under what situation the song went back into their heads. The results showed that songs were most likely to appear as earworms when the tasks caused a wandering mind. “Such activities can include walking, showering or doing dishes.” Dr. Hyman said. But more difficult tasks, like hard schoolwork, can also cause a wandering mind. The reason could be that we have more space in our brain for earworms when we aren’t totally focused on the task at hand. Now, you might be wondering how to get rid of an earworm. One thing you can try is chewing gum (口香糖). Maybe it’s because chewing gum uses up the same parts of the brain that play the earworm. Another idea is to change your state of mind. Talking to someone you don’t know very well might help you forget the earworm. The next time you have a song stuck in your head, remember that it’s a common thing. And keep exploring and find which way works best for you! Remember, earworms are a part of life, and they show that our brains are remembering things. It’s all part of the fascinating way our minds work. 29. Why does the writer use the example of the 7th grade student in Paragraph 1? A. To share a beautiful song. B. To introduce the idea of earworms. C. To prove earworms happen to everyone. D. To describe a problem of junior students. 30. Dr. Hyman’s research in Paragraph 5 is to ________. A. look into how popular songs lead to earworms B. explain why certain songs cause earworms easily C. come up with useful ways to get rid of earworms D. find out when earworms are more likely to happen 31. What does the word “wandering” in Paragraph 6 most probably mean? A. less focused B. more forgetful C. clearer D. more creative 32. What can we learn from the passage about earworms? A. Earworms only happen when we have nothing to do. B. Talking to friends can help us forget the earworm. C. Even just a sound of a song can lead to earworms. D. Slow and soft songs are more likely to cause earworms. 【答案】29. B 30. D 31. A 32. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要研究了“耳虫”这一概念，并且分析了为什么某一首歌会一直留存在脑海中不断重复出现。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据“I Remember Everything is my favorite song. It’s soft and touching. But I have had it stuck (停留) in my head for two weeks and it’s making me crazy. Why is this happening?”以及“You’re not alone! This is a common thing called an ‘earworm’ and it can happen to people all the time.”可知文章在第一段开头就引用了一个7年级学生的话，是为了引入本文要讨论的主题。故选B。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Yet songs usually only tend to cause earworms when you’re doing certain kinds of activities,”可知这项研究是为了查清楚什么时候“耳虫”会出现，故选D。 【31题详解】 词句猜测题。根据“Such activities can include walking, showering or doing dishes.”可知wandering mind指的是一些类似走路、洗澡或者洗碗这种活动，是一种没那么需要专注力的活动，故选A。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据“But it can also happen if you hear a word or a sound that reminds you of a song.”可知一个词一点声音都可能导致“耳虫”现象，故选C。 D It is natural to compare ourselves with others and to end up in a mental (内心的) comparison circle. However, this is never beneficial (有益的). You may have heard the words, “Comparison is the thief of joy.” To me, this is true. I find it is quite difficult to compare myself with others and feel joy at the same time. Comparison not only takes away our joy, but also leads to self-criticism (自我批评) and a lack (缺乏) of self-acceptance (自我接纳). Usually, comparison makes us think that others are better than us in some way. As a result, we may feel inferior (自卑的). “I am not as successful or attractive as they are. Why don’t I have what they have?” We use comparison as a way to self-criticism, “What’s wrong with me? I must be a loser.” This slows down self-acceptance. Comparison is deceptive (误导人的). It seems to tell us that if we meet the expectations (期待) such as losing weight or getting a great score, we will feel better, confident and stop comparing ourselves. However, this may be true only for a short time. In fact, a comparison is based on our inner thoughts and sense of self (自我感知), not surroundings (周围环境). Soon we will find something else to compare, another expectation we are not meeting, leaving us feeling worse once again. A student might celebrate being chosen for the school play, but then compare the importance of their role to that of the lead actor, resulting in new feelings of inferiority (自卑) and getting stuck into another circle of comparison. To stop comparing ourselves with others, we should know that comparison is a losing game and then step away from it. Comparison should not be the reason we decide to change. Instead, we try to change because of our own values (价值). Think about your values and match your behaviors and decisions with your values. This does not mean we ignore (忽视) things that we may want to change. It means these changes and goals are based on values not comparison with others. Behaviors and decisions are a matter of personal choice, not a way to keep up with others. Self-acceptance isn’t about fixing anything about yourself, it is about accepting who you are today. 33. What is Paragraph 2 mainly about? A. The results of comparison. B. The joy of self-acceptance. C. The necessity of self-criticism. D. The reasons for comparison. 34. The writer suggests that comparison is deceptive because ________. A. it is always based on our surroundings B. it only offers us short-term happiness C. it always comes from false information D. it prevents us from making personal choices 35. The writer probably agrees that ________. A. we should focus our own values and self-acceptance B. we can improve ourselves by setting up higher goals C. we shouldn’t pay attention to things we need to change D. we will stop comparison as long as we achieve our goals 36. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A. Why it’s Beneficial to Compare B. Turn from Values to Comparison C. How Self-acceptance Works D. Say Goodbye to Comparison 【答案】33. A 34. B 35. A 36. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了比较心理对人的负面影响，并提供了解决方法。 【33题详解】 主旨大意题。根据段落首句“Comparison not only takes away our joy, but also leads to self-criticism (自我批评) and a lack (缺乏) of self-acceptance (自我接纳).”可知本段主要讲的是比较心理给人带来的负面影响。故选A。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据“It seems to tell us that if we meet the expectations (期待) such as losing weight or getting a great score, we will feel better, confident and stop comparing ourselves. However, this may be true only for a short time.”可知比较心理可以给人带来一些好处，但是这些好处都是暂时的，是短期的快乐。故选B。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据“Think about your values and match your behaviors and decisions with your values...It means these changes and goals are based on values not comparison with others...Self-acceptance isn’t about fixing anything about yourself, it is about accepting who you are today.”可知作者认为要解决比较心理，就要认可自我价值，并接受自己，A选项符合，故选A。 【36题详解】 最佳标题题。通读全文可知本文重点在讲比较心理给人带来的负面影响以及如何解决负面心理，D选项符合文章大意，故选D。 阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。 Indian-origin Anvitha Vijay has given a new meaning to the phrase “age is just a number”. She has shown that achievements and knowledge come from passion, not just age and experience. Anvitha Vijay lives with her parents in Melbourne, Australia. At the age of seven, she realized that her piggy bank (存钱罐) did not have enough money to find a developer to help make her an app. So, she decided to teach herself how to code (编程). She watched many coding lessons on the web for an entire year and became a programmer herself through her hard work. Vijay’s idea for developing the apps came from her little sister, who was still learning to talk. So, she developed an educational app for children of her sister’s age. The app is called Smartkins. It uses about 100 sounds and flashcards of different animals to help children learn and identify (识别). Later, Vijay developed a similar iOS app for children to identify and learn colors. Each app has been downloaded thousands of times. Anvitha’s skills won her a scholarship (奖学金) to attend a big tech conference by Apple in San Francisco, California. There, she got tips from some professors. She went to workshops where she learned about the latest software for app building. From then on, she showed stronger love for learning new technology. All that training led to an idea for a third app. The third app, called GoalsHi, is designed to help kids to practice good habits. Users get prizes for achieving goals, such as eating their vegetables or practicing the piano. Anvitha says the prizes are like getting a sticker for a job well done. Anvitha’s goal is to continue creating technology that helps kids learn while having fun. But what is even more important to her is that the world sees the power of technology in kids’ hands. “The more training we get in tech at an early age,” she says, “the better chance we have of becoming creators who will one day change the world.” 37. How old was Vijay when she learned to code? _______________________________________________________________________________________________ 38. What is the purpose of GoalsHi? _______________________________________________________________________________________________ 39. How many apps did Vijay develop? _______________________________________________________________________________________________ 40. Can you name two of Vijay’s qualities (品质) and explain how they made her succeed in developing apps? _______________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】37. Seven./7. 38. To help kids to practice good habits. 39. Three./3. 40. She is creative. She developed many new apps. She is smart/talented and passionate for new tech, she taught herself to code by watching lessons on the web. She is caring and helpful. She is always thinking of ways to help others, especially little kids. She has strong love for new knowledge. She is hard working. She spent one year learning to code by herself. 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了一位印度裔美国女孩在很小的时候就开始编程开发应用的故事。 【37题详解】 根据第一段“At the age of seven, she realized that her piggy bank (存钱罐) did not have enough money to find a developer to help make her an app. So, she decided to teach herself how to code (编程).”可知她是在7岁的时候开始学习编程，故填Seven./7. 【38题详解】 根据“The third app, called GoalsHi, is designed to help kids to practice good habits.”可知这一款APP是为了帮助孩子们培养好习惯。故填To help kids to practice good habits. 【39题详解】 根据“All that training led to an idea for a third app.”可知她一共开发了三个应用，故填Three./3. 【40题详解】 开放性作答，结合实际，言之有理即可。参考答案为She is creative.

We all grew up hearing moms tell us to “go out and get some fresh air”. ____49____ According to recent studies, the answer is a big YES, if the air quality in your living area is good. ____50____ If the air you’re breathing is clean—which it would be if you’re away from the smog (雾霾) of cities—then the air is filled with fresh oxygen (氧气). If you exercise outdoors, your body will learn to breathe more deeply, allowing even more oxygen to get to your muscles and your brain. Recently, people have begun studying the relation between the natural world and healing (治疗). ____51____ In these places patients can go to be near nature. It shows that just looking at green, growing things can reduce stress, lower blood pressure, and put people into a better mood. Greenery is good for us. Hospital patients who see trees outside are likely to heal at a faster rate than patients who see buildings or sky instead. Being in nature refreshes us. It gives us a great feeling of peace. ____52____ While the sunshine can age and harm our skin, it also gives us Vitamin D. To make sure you get enough Vitamin D—but still protect your skin—put on sunscreen (防晒霜) right as you head outside. It takes sunscreen about fifteen minutes to start working, and that’s plenty of time for your skin to take in Vitamin D for the day. A. Fresh air cleans our lungs (肺部). B. Just as importantly, we tend to relate air with health care. C. Another benefit of getting fresh air is sunlight. D. But is fresh air really as good for you as your mother always said? E. All across the country, healing centers have begun building Healing Gardens. 【答案】49. D 50. A 51. E 52. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了新鲜空气的重要性。 【49题详解】 根据“According to recent studies, the answer is a big YES, if the air quality in your living area is good.”中的“the answer”可知，本句应是一个提问句型，选项D“但是新鲜空气真的跟你妈妈常说的那样对你有好处吗？”符合语境，故选D。 【50题详解】 根据“the air is filled with fresh oxygen (氧气). If you exercise outdoors, your body will learn to breathe more deeply, allowing even more oxygen to get to your muscles and your brain.”可知当空气是新鲜的时候，就会有更多氧气进入人的身体，这也解释了新鲜空气可以清洁肺部的原因，选项A“新鲜空气可以清洁肺部。”符合语境，故选A。 【51题详解】 根据“Recently, people have begun studying the relation between the natural world and healing (治疗)...In these places patients can go to be near nature.”可知本段是在讨论新鲜空气与治疗之间的关系，且空格后表示在“这些地方”病人可以离大自然更近，由此推断空格处句子应有相对应的表示治疗地点的表达，选项E“治疗中心开始在全国范围内建设治疗花园。”符合语境，故选E。 【52题详解】 根据“While the sunshine can age and harm our skin, it also gives us Vitamin D.”可知本段落涉及新鲜空气与阳光之间的关系，选项C“呼吸新鲜空气的另一个好处是阳光。”符合语境，故选C。 十二、阅读理解。（共12分，68-71题，每小题2分，72题4分） The 2024 Paris Olympic Games ended on August 11, showcasing the amazing talents of China’s young athletes across various sports. While they embodied the Olympic motto of “Faster, Higher, Stronger—Together”, there has been a shift (转换) in perspectives (观点) on winning as a recognition of the true essence of the Olympic spirit. Since the beginning of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, many exciting and unforgettable moments have been shared by athletes and audiences worldwide. We have cheered for victories and comforted those who fell short. But beyond the winning and losing, there is something more to admire. On August 4, 21-year-old Zheng Qinwen made history for Chinese tennis by winning the first gold medal in women’s singles for both China and Asia. Just the following day, the young Chinese swimming team ended the US’s decades long unbeaten period in the men’s 4×100m relay, finishing in 3 minutes and 27.46 seconds. By winning gold medals in events once dominated by Western athletes, these young competitors have shown a remarkable improvement in China’s competitive sports landscape. Equally inspiring is the positive attitude of these young athletes. They are confident and open-minded, striving for excellence and breakthrough performances. Moreover, they have moved away from the “gold medal only” mentality, embracing a more composed and rational (理性的) approach to sports. From 18-year-old BMX freestyle cyclist Deng Yawen to 26-year-old swimmer Zhang Yufei, many young athletes have attracted global audiences with their self-assured approach to competition. They genuinely enjoy competing. When Zhang, China’s “butterfly queen”, missed out on a gold medal, she said, “I hope this time I can have a relaxed attitude and really enjoy the Olympics.” This shift (转换) in mindset (思维模式) and demeanor has moved the public focus away from just winning gold medals to appreciating the respect and glory that athletes and the Olympics truly deserve. Success is the goal, but they remain equally graceful in the face of failure, embodying the deep integration of Chinese values with the Olympic spirit. It’s not just about being faster, higher, stronger, but also about embracing sports with a positive attitude. 53. What does the underlined phrase “fell short” mean in Paragraph 2? A. Fell apart. B. Made outstanding advances. C. Achieved success. D. Failed to meet expectations. 54. The 2024 Paris Olympic Games is inspiring, except that ________. A. young athletes made determination to just win gold medals B. young competitors displayed positive and confident mindset C. young competitors improved a lot in China’s competitive sports D. young athletes attracted global audience with confident approach 55. Why does the author mention Zhang Yufei in Paragraph 4? A. To emphasize the importance of the Paris Olympic Games. B. To praise athletes’relaxed mindset in Paris Olympic Games. C. To prove athletes’good performance in Paris Olympic Games. D. To show Zhang’s regret for losing a gold medal in Paris Olympic Games. 56. How has the perspective on winning among China’s young athletes changed according to the passage? A. They have adopted a more relaxed approach to competition. B. They believe that winning is the only measure of success. C. They focus solely on breaking records in their sports. D. They now prioritize winning over personal growth. 57. According to the passage, share your understanding of “the spirit of sports is not just about winning competitions.” How do you think this mindset can affect you as a student? _______________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】53. D 54. A 55. B 56. A 57. The view highlights the importance of personal growth and enjoyment in athletics. For example, during the sports meeting, I didn’t place first, but I ran my personal best time. That feeling of improvement and pushing my limits was more fulfilling than a medal. I see athletes like Zhang Yufei who embrace competition with a positive mindset, even in defeat. It inspires me to focus on my own growth in both sports and academics, knowing that enjoying the process and learning from my experiences are just as important as winning.(言之有理即可) 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了2024年巴黎奥运会中国运动员的表现以及奥运精神的转变。 【53题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第二段“We have cheered for victories and comforted those who fell short.”可知，需要安慰的人应该是指那些在比赛中未能达到预期的人。由此推知，fell short意为failed to meet expectations“未能达到预期”。故选D。 【54题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Moreover, they have moved away from the ‘gold medal only’ mentality”可知，年轻运动员已经摆脱了“只为金牌”的心态，因此，选项A“年轻运动员决心只赢得金牌”表述错误。故选A。 【55题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“When Zhang, China’s ‘butterfly queen’, missed out on a gold medal, she said, ‘I hope this time I can have a relaxed attitude and really enjoy the Olympics.’”可知，当中国的“蝶泳皇后”张雨霏与金牌失之交臂时，她说：“我希望这次我能以一种放松的心态，真正享受奥运。”由此推知，第四段提到张雨霏是为了表扬运动员在巴黎奥运会上的轻松心态。故选B。 【56题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“Moreover, they have moved away from the ‘gold medal only’ mentality, embracing a more composed and rational (理性的) approach to sports...many young athletes have attracted global audiences with their self-assured approach to competition. They genuinely enjoy competing.”可知，中国年轻运动员已经摆脱了“只为金牌”的心态，对体育采取了更加冷静和理性的态度，许多年轻运动员以自信的比赛方式吸引了全球观众，他们真的很享受竞争。由此推知，中国年轻运动员对竞争采取了更放松的态度。故选A。 【57题详解】 开放性作答，结合实际，言之成理即可。参考答案为The view highlights the importance of personal growth and enjoyment in athletics. For example, during the sports meeting, I didn’t place first, but I ran my personal best time. That feeling of improvement and pushing my limits was more fulfilling than a medal.
