In 1924, she left her children in Russia and went to Paris for an art job. Little did she know that she would not return until 1965, due to strict rules in place in Russia and the complicated backdrop (背景) of World War II. Her paintings often featured landscapes near her family home and moments from her children’s daily lives. A year after her return to Russia, her daughter organized three successful exhibitions to celebrate her work. Mary Cassatt (1844-1926) Mary Cassatt was one of four women invited to exhibit with the first Impressionist exhibition in Paris in 1874. Following Cassatt’s sister’s diagnosis with a serious kidney disease, Cassatt only painted her extended family in private settings, with women and children as her special focus. Cassatt was hugely successful and her influence continues to be felt today. Joan Mitchell (1925-1992) Joan Mitchell was a leading young painter of her time in New York, part of the influential Artists’ Club and a participant in the 1951 Ninth Street Show that introduced Abstract Expressionism. However, in 1959, she moved to France, where she lived in a house that overlooked a landscape painted by Monet. Inspired by nature and great modern artists like Cé zanne, Matisse, and Monet, she aimed to capture feelings rather than recognizable landscapes in her art. Emily Kame Kngwarreye (1909-1996) An Aboriginal elder, Emily Kame Kngwarreye was one of Australia’s most important artists. Drawing on her experience making works with sand and batik (蜡染) as well as ceremonial body painting, she made her first painting on canvas when she was 79. Over the following eight years, she produced another 3,000, one of which became the first work by a female Australian artist to sell for over a million dollars. 1. What is a shared characteristic of Zinaida Serebriakova and Joan Mitchell? A. They mixed different painting styles. B. They painted to provide for their families. C. They were forced to leave their home countries. D. They found inspiration in their surroundings. 2. Who was invited to showcase her work at the first Impressionist exhibition? A. Joan Mitchell. B. Mary Cassatt. C. Zinaida Serebriakova. D. Emily Kame Kngwarreye. 3. How was Emily Kame Kngwarreye different from the other painters? A. She did body painting. B. She was highly productive. C. She rose to fame at an early age. D. She primarily painted landscapes. 【答案】1. D 2. B 3. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文，主要介绍了四位不同时代和背景的女性艺术家的生平与成就。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据Zinaida Serebriakova (1884-1967)部分“Her paintings often featured landscapes near her family home and moments from her children’s daily lives.(她的画作经常以她家附近的风景和孩子们的日常生活为特色。)”和Joan Mitchell (1925-1992)部分“Inspired by nature and great modern artists like Cé zanne, Matisse, and Monet, she aimed to capture feelings rather than recognizable landscapes in her art.(她的灵感来自大自然和伟大的现代艺术家，如Cé zanne、Matisse和Monet，她的目标是捕捉情感，而不是在她的艺术中捕捉可识别的风景。)”可知，Zinaida Serebriakova和Joan Mitchell共同的特点是他们在周围环境中找到灵感。故选D。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Mary Cassatt (1844-1926)部分“Mary Cassatt was one of four women invited to exhibit with the first Impressionist exhibition in Paris in 1874.(Mary Cassatt是受邀参加1874年巴黎首届印象派画展的四名女性之一。)”可知，Mary Cassatt被邀请在第一届印象派画展上展示她的作品。故选B。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据Emily Kame Kngwarreye (1909-1996)部分“Drawing on her experience making works with sand and batik (蜡染) as well as ceremonial body painting, she made her first painting on canvas when she was 79.(在79岁时，她利用沙子和蜡染以及仪式人体彩绘的创作经验，在画布上创作了自己的第一幅画。)”可知，Emily Kame Kngwarreye与其他画家的不同之处在于她画人体彩绘。故选A。 B I’d finally got some alone time as a new mom. I put on my running shoes and I found my rhythm as my feet hit the ground. My adrenaline (肾上腺素) kicked in as I told myself, “This is my comeback.” Prior to giving birth to a baby, I had been a runner since my 20s. Running made me feel free and it brought me a sense of peace I couldn’t find anywhere else. The harder my feet worked, the more I relaxed. Now, as a new mom in my late 30s, I was picking running back up to prove to myself I was still the old me. However, it was not easy. My legs were weak as I shuffled (拖着脚走) down the track. I felt defeated. The old me had never felt so far away. Running felt like a burden, and the joy was far away from me. Even worse, I felt like a living dead at home. My son wasn’t sleeping through the night, which was exhausting all my extra energy. However, I kept going. I went out for a run again and again. A few times a week, I pulled on my shoes and slowly, my one mile route turned into a 5kilometer. Gone were the debates in my head over whether I was a good mom and whether my house would ever be clean again. Running just let me be. I had signed up for the half marathon I ran annually before my son was born as a motivation. When I began running, the marathon route felt so long, but then suddenly, it was over. When I crossed the finish line, I felt like a champion wearing my participant’s medal. My finish time was just a number; what mattered more to me was the journey. Through my running experience, I have realized that nothing is impossible to a willing heart, not only running, but also anything else. 4. Why did the author run in her twenties? A. To enjoy some alone time. B. To maintain a good figure. C. To keep physical health. D. To pursue inner peace. 5. Which of the following words can best describe the author? A. Proud. B. Determined. C. Outgoing. D. Modest. 6. What can be inferred from the fourth paragraph? A. The author occasionally joined in the marathon before. B. Half marathon seemed longer than expected all the way. C. What is worth doing well is to achieve high scores. D. What the author can gain during the process matters most. 7. What message does the article convey to readers? A. Where there is a will, there is a way. B. A good beginning is half success. C. Actions speak louder than words. D. Time lost cannot be regained. 【答案】4. D 5. B 6. D 7. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了刚刚生产完的妈妈意志坚定地参加马拉松的故事。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Running made me feel free and it brought me a sense of peace I couldn’t find anywhere else. The harder my feet worked, the more I relaxed.(跑步让我感到自由，带给我一种在其他地方找不到的平静感。我的脚越用力，我就越放松)”可知，作者跑步的原因是追求内心的平静，故选D项。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“However, I kept going. I went out for a run again and again. A few times a week, I pulled on my shoes and slowly, my one mile route turned into a 5kilometer.(然而，我继续前进。我一次又一次地出去跑步。一周几次，我穿上鞋子，慢慢地，我的一英里路线变成了五公里)”可知，作者是意志坚定的。故选B项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“My finish time was just a number; what mattered more to me was the journey.( 我的完成时间只是一个数字；对我来说更重要的是旅程)”可知，对作者而言在跑步过程中所获得的是最重要的。故选D项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Through my running experience, I have realized that nothing is impossible to a willing heart, not only running, but also anything else.(通过我的跑步经历，我意识到，对于一颗愿意的心，没有什么是不可能的，不仅是跑步，还有其他任何事情)”可知，本文给我们的人生启发是“有志者，事竟成”。故选A项。 C What once seemed far away is now a reality: Ordinary people can walk in space. On Sept 12, the SpaceX Polaris Dawn crew made history by performing the world’s first commercial spacewalk. First announced in 2022, Polaris Dawn is the first of three missions designed to test and develop new space technologies. US Billionaire Jared Isaacman is the founder of the Polaris Program and has funded the missions through his collaboration with SpaceX. On Sept 10, the crew of four astronauts, including Isaacman, was launched into space. After two days of preparations, Isaacman first stepped out of the spacecraft. “Back at home we all have a lot of work to do, but from here - it looks like a perfect world,” he said as he stepped out into space. Another crew member, Sarah Gillis, also took part in the spacewalk, with the actual time spent outside being around 10 minutes per astronaut, reported CNN. Aside from this amazing achievement, the Polaris Dawn crew also tested their new SpaceX-designed spacewalk suits. The suit works like a mini-spacecraft that fits the human body. One of the engineers described it as “a suit of armor (盔甲) made of fabric”. Unlike the heavy white suits used by NASA astronauts, SpaceX’s suits don’t have a backpack life support system. Instead, they get air and power from tubes connected to the spacecraft. SpaceX plans to use these suits for many future missions, both around Earth and in deep space. Polaris Dawn also conducted nearly 40 scientific experiments. These experiments included testing wearable devices that collect body data, trying to reduce space motion sickness, and studying eye health in microgravity (微重力). Polaris Dawn also traveled through parts of Earth’s radiation belt, providing the chance to better understand how this radiation affects the human body. After the five-day mission, on Sept 15, the Polaris Dawn crew landed safely on Earth in Florida, US. NASA described the mission as “a giant leap forward” for the commercial space industry. It also brings SpaceX closer to its goal of commercializing space travel and reducing costs, which could enable people to live and work in space in the future. 8. What was a major achievement of the Polaris Dawn crew? A. They completed the longest spacewalk. B. They conducted the first commercial spacewalk. C. They stayed outside the spacecraft for over one hour. D. They became the first astronauts in deep space. 9. How do SpaceX’s spacewalk suits differ from NASA’s suits? A. They are larger but lighter in design. B. They have a built-in life support system. C. They are made from advanced materials. D. They rely on the spacecraft for resources. 10. What research did the Polaris Dawn crew do? A. Testing radiation protection systems. B. Evaluating the effects of space on hearing. C. Studying body health and motion in space. D. Collecting data on Earth’s surface changes. 11. What broader goal does SpaceX aim to achieve through missions like Polaris Dawn? A. To discover new planets for exploration. B. To promote international cooperation in space. C. To make space travel more accessible to the public. D. To develop technology for sustainable space living. 【答案】8. B 9. D 10. C 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道，主要讲的是SpaceX的Polaris Dawn任务实现了世界上第一次商业太空行走，并测试了新技术和进行了科学实验，标志着商业太空行业的一大进步，也为未来太空旅行和居住铺平了道路。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“On Sept 12, the SpaceX Polaris Dawn crew made history by performing the world’s first commercial spacewalk. (9月12日，SpaceX公司的“Polaris Dawn号”宇航员进行了世界上首次商业太空行走，创造了历史。)”可知，Polaris Dawn机组人员的主要成就是他们进行了第一次商业太空行走。故选B。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第四段“Unlike the heavy white suits used by NASA astronauts, SpaceX’s suits don’t have a backpack life support system. Instead, they get air and power from tubes connected to the spacecraft. (与美国宇航局宇航员使用的厚重白色宇航服不同，SpaceX的宇航服没有背包式生命维持系统。相反，他们从连接到宇宙飞船的管道中获得空气和动力。)”可知，SpaceX的宇航服与NASA的宇航服的不同之处在于他们依靠宇宙飞船提供资源。故选D。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第三段“These experiments included testing wearable devices that collect body data, trying to reduce space motion sickness, and studying eye health in microgravity (微重力). Polaris Dawn also traveled through parts of Earth’s radiation belt, providing the chance to better understand how this radiation affects the human body. (这些实验包括测试收集身体数据的可穿戴设备，试图减少太空晕动病，以及研究微重力下的眼睛健康。Polaris Dawn还穿越了地球辐射带的部分地区，为更好地了解这种辐射如何影响人体提供了机会。)”可知，Polaris Dawn的工作人员做的研究是研究太空中的身体健康和运动。故选C。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“It also brings SpaceX closer to its goal of commercializing space travel and reducing costs, which could enable people to live and work in space in the future. (这也使SpaceX公司更接近其将太空旅行商业化和降低成本的目标，这可能使人们未来能够在太空生活和工作。)”可知，SpaceX通过Polaris Dawn这样的任务要实现的更大的目标是让公众更容易进入太空旅行。故选C。 D Researchers from North Carolina State University argue that the addition of a fourth (white-colored) traffic signal would bring different traffic effects. “Our work introduced the idea of a fourth traffic signal called a ‘white phase’, which taps into the computing power of autonomous vehicles (AVs) in order to expedite traffic at crossroads,” says Prof. Ali Hajbabaie, corresponding author of the paper. “Our research found that the more AVs there are on the road, the more efficiently the traffic moves. You’ll see less congestion (堵塞). To be clear, this improves travel time, fuel efficiency and safety for all of the cars.” The white phase concept takes advantage of AVs’ ability to communicate wirelessly with each other and the computers in control of traffic signals. When enough AVs approach a crossroad, this would activate the new traffic light — the white light. While red lights mean stop, and green lights mean go, white lights will tell human drivers to simply follow the car in front of them. In other words, the white light serves as a signal. During the time, AVs are coordinating (协调) their movement to facilitate efficient traffic flow through the crossroad. When too many vehicles approaching the crossroad are driven by human drivers instead of AVs, the signal will return to the traditional green yellow red mode. “If at some point in the future we see almost universal adoption of AVs, our models suggest that delays at crossroads would decrease by more than 25%,” Hajbabaie says. Study authors acknowledge governments probably won’t adopt the new concept anytime soon. “Still, we’re now taking steps to ensure that future pilot projects will be both safe and effective. We’re currently setting up a physical testbed that will allow us to experiment with this concept in the physical world — not just in a computer model,” Hajbabaie concludes. “However, the vehicles we’re using in the testbed are small enough to hold in our hands. This will help us identify challenges without the expense — and safety risk — involved with using real vehicles.” 12. What does the underlined word “expedite” in paragraph 2mean? A. Work out. B. Speed up. C. Put off. D. Hold back. 13. What does paragraph 3 focus on? A. How the white phrase works. B. When the traditional signals return. C. What the white phrase brings vehicles. D. Why traffic efficiency is improved. 14. What does Hajbabaie expect of the white phrase? A. It’ll become more mature. B. It’ll reach consumers very soon. C. It’ll reduce experimental costs. D. It’ll be tested in a computer model. 15. What’s the best title for the text? A. Using White Phrase Indicates Advanced Traffic B. Fourth Traffic Signal Is Invented to Guide AVs C. Traffic Congestion Makes White Phase Happen D. Adding 4th Traffic Signal Can Ease Congestion 【答案】12. B 13. A 14. A 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。北卡罗莱纳州立大学的研究人员认为，需增加交通信号灯第四色——白色信号灯。它的主要用途是在自动驾驶汽车成为路口主要交通流时，向人类驾驶员发出信号，使得人类驾驶员可以跟随自动驾驶车辆通过路口。这种新方法显著缩短了车辆通过路口的行驶时间。 【12题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词下文“Our research found that the more AVs there are on the road, the more efficiently the traffic moves. You’ll see less congestion (堵塞). To be clear, this improves travel time, fuel efficiency and safety for all of the cars.(我们的研究发现，道路上的自动驾驶汽车越多，交通运行效率就越高。你会看到更少的拥堵。需要明确的是，这改善了所有汽车的行驶时间、燃油效率和安全性)”可知，划线词所在句子意思为我们的工作引入了第四种交通信号的概念，称为“白色阶段”，它利用自动驾驶汽车(AVs)的计算能力来加速十字路口的交通，由此可知，该词意为“加快速度”。故选B。 【13题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第三段“The white phase concept takes advantage of AVs’ ability to communicate wirelessly with each other and the computers in control of traffic signals…. When too many vehicles approaching the crossroad are driven by human drivers instead of AVs, the signal will return to the traditional green yellow red mode.(白色阶段的概念利用了自动驾驶汽车相互之间进行无线通信以及控制交通信号灯的电脑的能力。当足够多的自动驾驶汽车接近十字路口时，就会激活新的交通灯——白光。红灯意味着停车，绿灯意味着行驶，而白光则是告诉人类驾驶员简单地跟随前面的车辆。换句话说，白光充当一个信号。在这段时间里，自动驾驶汽车正在协调它们的移动，以促进交通流通过十字路口。当接近十字路口的车辆中有太多是由人类驾驶员驾驶而不是自动驾驶汽车时，信号灯将恢复到传统的绿黄红模式)”可知，本段主要介绍了white phase是如何工作的。故选A。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Still, we’re now taking steps to ensure that future pilot projects will be both safe and effective. We’re currently setting up a physical testbed that will allow us to experiment with this concept in the physical world — not just in a computer model(不过，我们现在正在采取措施，确保未来的试点项目既安全又有效。我们目前正在建立一个物理测试平台，这将使我们能够在物理世界中试验这个概念，而不仅仅是在计算机模型中)”可推知，Hajbabaie希望white phase概念更加成熟。故选A。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，研究人员认为，增加交通信号灯第四色——白色信号灯可以显著缩短车辆通过路口的行驶时间，从而缓解交通堵塞。由此可推知，D项Adding 4th Traffic Signal Can Ease Congestion(增加第四个交通信号可以缓解拥堵)最适合作文章标题。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。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Your inner dialogue can either be a stepping stone or a barrier to reaching your goals. If you have a harsh (严厉的) inner critic, you’ re not alone: Self-doubt and discouraging predictions are common. ____16____ Here are some ways to deal with your inner critic. ● Pay attention to your thoughts. You’ re so used to hearing your inner voices that it’s easy to overlook the messages you’ re sending to yourself. Start paying close attention to your thoughts. It’s estimated that you have around 60,000 thoughts per day. That’s 60,000 chances to either build yourself up or tear yourself down. ____17____ ● Change the channel. When you keep replaying a mistake you made in your head over and over again, you’ll drag yourself down. The best way to change the channel is by getting active. ____18____ Go for a walk, call a friend, or tackle a project you’ve been putting off. ● ____19____ Your thoughts aren’t always true. If you think, “I’m going to embarrass myself when I give that presentation,” pause for a minute. Take out a piece of paper and write down all the evidence that indicates you’re going to fail. Then, list all the evidence that you aren’t going to fail. Looking at the evidence on both sides can help you look at the situation less emotionally. ● Ask yourself what advice you’d give to a friend ____20____ For example, while you might call yourself a fool for making a mistake, it’s unlikely that you’d say that to a loved one. When you’re struggling with tough times or doubting your ability to succeed, ask yourself, “What would I say to a friend who had this problem?” Then, offer yourself those kind and wise words. A. Examine the evidence. B. Train your brain to think differently. C. But you don’t have to be a victim of your self-talk. D. It’s often easier to be more merciful to other people than to yourself. E. Find an activity that will temporarily keep you away from the negative voices. F. Reminding yourself that your thoughts aren’t always true boosts your confidence. G. Recognizing your thought patterns helps to understand how your thinking affects you. 【答案】16. C 17. G 18. E 19. A 20. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍如何应对自我苛责。 【16题详解】 由上文“Self-doubt and discouraging predictions are common. (自我怀疑和令人沮丧的预测是很常见的。)”可知，本段在讲述自我怀疑的普遍性，空后句子“Here are some ways to deal with your inner critic. (这里有一些处理你内心批评的方法。)”则提出了针对自我怀疑的一些对策，由此可推知，本空应谈论读者可以做到避免这种情况，C选项“But you don’t have to be a victim of your self-talk. (但你不必成为你内心对话的受害者)”能承上启下，符合语境，其中“your self-talk”对应前文的“Self-doubt and discouraging predictions”，且该选项中的But与前文的“Self-doubt and discouraging predictions are common”形成转折关系。故选C。 【17题详解】 由上文“Start paying close attention to your thoughts. (开始密切关注你的想法。)”可知，本段建议要关注自己的想法，G选项“Recognizing your thought patterns helps to understand how your thinking affects you. (认识到你的思维模式有助于理解你的想法是如何影响你的)”能承接上文，进一步指出关注想法的重要性，符合语境。故选G。 【18题详解】 由上文“The best way to change the channel is by getting active. (改变思维频道最好的方式就是变得积极起来。)”可知，本段建议通过变得积极来转换思维频道，本空应具体讨论怎样实施，E选项“Find an activity that will temporarily keep you away from the negative voices. (找一项能让你暂时远离消极声音的活动)”是对该建议的具体化说明，符合语境。且E选项中的“negative voices”与上文“change the channel”相呼应，表明要远离消极思维。故选E。 【19题详解】 由下文“Your thoughts aren’t always true. (你的想法并不总是正确的。)”可知，本段建议要审视自己的想法是否正确，A选项“Examine the evidence. (审视证据)”是对该建议的概括，符合语境。且A选项中的“examine”与下文“Looking at the evidence on both sides”相呼应，表明要检查证据来判断想法是否正确。故选A。 20题详解】 由下文“For example, while you might call yourself a fool for making a mistake, it’s unlikely that you’d say that to a loved one. (例如，你可能会因为犯错而称自己为傻瓜，但你不太可能对心爱的人这样说。)”可知，本段通过对比自己对待自己的错误和对待朋友的错误的不同态度，来说明要善待自己，本空应讨论善待别人比善待自己容易，D选项“It’s often easier to be more merciful to other people than to yourself. (通常对别人比对自己更仁慈更容易)”符合语境，且能够概括本段主旨。故选D。 第三部分 语言知识运用（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A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 In 1996, at the age of 27, Wil Smith began his academic journey as a freshman at Maine’s Bowdoin College, shortly after he had ____21____ his service in the Navy.

After completing Grade Ten, my father came to me with some bad news. . . “Son, I’m sorry. I won’t be able to pay any more of your educational expenses.” I was the fourth and youngest son in the family. The family expenses had become too much for my father’s small army wage to handle. Not having money for my education worried me. I laid my head down that night, wondering what my future held in store. The words of my teacher came to me, “Nawaz, you must try and find another way for your future. Look at me! I grew up as a poor boy from the village. I struggled, I worked hard and I went to the city. You must find a way and never give up. ” I heard Karachi was a city of opportunity for poor people due to lots of small jobs. I decided to move to the city to get a job, so I could save up and pay for my education. On a busy street not far from where I stayed, I found a job in a small restaurant. I waited on tables, cleaned floors, and washed dishes. I slowly saved enough money for my college admission fee. After that, I studied by day. By night and on weekends I worked at the restaurant. I was tired but determined to complete my education. One day Mr. Jatin started asking me questions. “Where are you from?” “What are you doing here?” “Why are you working here?” He came to the restaurant for a cup of tea regularly in the afternoon, so the waiters were all familiar with him. I politely answered his questions about my situation. “Mmm, I see,” Mr. Jatin nodded. “I’ve watched you work hard. And I’d like to pay for all your college fees. You can quit your job and focus on your studies. ” 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。 I couldn’t believe what I had just heard. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Having got a well- paid job after graduation, I realized it was time to pay back. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】I couldn’t believe what I had just heard. My heart was filled with an overwhelming sense of joy and profound gratitude. I stood there, stunned for a moment, my eyes wide with astonishment. I thanked Mr. Jatin repeatedly, unable to contain my excitement. With his support, I could finally focus entirely on my studies without the burden of financial worries. I worked even harder, determined not to disappoint him and to make the most of this precious opportunity. Having got a well-paid job after graduation, I realized it was time to pay back. I expressed my appreciation in the most heartfelt way possible, emphasizing how his kindness had transformed my life. I decided to help other students in need, just as he had helped me. I set up a scholarship fund to support those who struggled like I once did. I was acutely aware of the immense value of a helping hand in times of difficulty and was eager to pass on the kindness and make a positive difference in the lives of others. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者，一个来自印度贫困家庭的孩子如何通过努力工作和遇到好心人的帮助，最终完成学业并回馈社会的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我简直不敢相信自己所听到的。”以及第二段首句内容“毕业后，我找到了一份高薪工作，意识到是时候回报社会了。”可知，第一段可描写作者得到了Jatin先生的资助，完成了大学学业。 ②由第二段首句内容“毕业后，我找到了一份高薪工作，意识到是时候回报社会了。”可知，第二段可描写作者毕业后，决定帮助其他需要帮助的人。 2.续写线索：充满感激——道谢——全身心投入学习——找到工作——回报社会 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①充满了：be filled with/be full of ②控制、抑制：contain/control/hold back ③专注于：focus on/concentrate on 情绪类 ①高兴：joy/delight/happiness ②感激：gratitude/thankfulness 【点睛】【高分句型1】I expressed my appreciation in the most heartfelt way possible, emphasizing how his kindness had transformed my life.（运用了how引导的宾语从句） 【高分句型2】I set up a scholarship fund to support those who struggled like I once did.（运用了who引导的定语从句） 听力1-5 ACBAC 6-10 AACBB 11-15 BCABC 16-20 BCBAC 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2024—2025学年高三上学期期中考试 英语 第Ⅰ卷 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 注意，听力部分答题时，请先将答案标在试卷上。听力部分结束前，你将有两分钟的时间将答案转涂到答题卡上。 第一节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 例: How much is the shirt?

In 1924, she left her children in Russia and went to Paris for an art job. Little did she know that she would not return until 1965, due to strict rules in place in Russia and the complicated backdrop (背景) of World War II. Her paintings often featured landscapes near her family home and moments from her children’s daily lives. A year after her return to Russia, her daughter organized three successful exhibitions to celebrate her work. Mary Cassatt (1844-1926) Mary Cassatt was one of four women invited to exhibit with the first Impressionist exhibition in Paris in 1874. Following Cassatt’s sister’s diagnosis with a serious kidney disease, Cassatt only painted her extended family in private settings, with women and children as her special focus. Cassatt was hugely successful and her influence continues to be felt today. Joan Mitchell (1925-1992) Joan Mitchell was a leading young painter of her time in New York, part of the influential Artists’ Club and a participant in the 1951 Ninth Street Show that introduced Abstract Expressionism. However, in 1959, she moved to France, where she lived in a house that overlooked a landscape painted by Monet. Inspired by nature and great modern artists like Cé zanne, Matisse, and Monet, she aimed to capture feelings rather than recognizable landscapes in her art. Emily Kame Kngwarreye (1909-1996) An Aboriginal elder, Emily Kame Kngwarreye was one of Australia’s most important artists. Drawing on her experience making works with sand and batik (蜡染) as well as ceremonial body painting, she made her first painting on canvas when she was 79. Over the following eight years, she produced another 3,000, one of which became the first work by a female Australian artist to sell for over a million dollars. 1. What is a shared characteristic of Zinaida Serebriakova and Joan Mitchell? A. They mixed different painting styles. B. They painted to provide for their families. C. They were forced to leave their home countries. D. They found inspiration in their surroundings. 2. Who was invited to showcase her work at the first Impressionist exhibition? A. Joan Mitchell. B. Mary Cassatt. C. Zinaida Serebriakova. D. Emily Kame Kngwarreye. 3. How was Emily Kame Kngwarreye different from the other painters? A. She did body painting. B. She was highly productive. C. She rose to fame at an early age. D. She primarily painted landscapes. B I’d finally got some alone time as a new mom. I put on my running shoes and I found my rhythm as my feet hit the ground. My adrenaline (肾上腺素) kicked in as I told myself, “This is my comeback.” Prior to giving birth to a baby, I had been a runner since my 20s. Running made me feel free and it brought me a sense of peace I couldn’t find anywhere else. The harder my feet worked, the more I relaxed. Now, as a new mom in my late 30s, I was picking running back up to prove to myself I was still the old me. However, it was not easy. My legs were weak as I shuffled (拖着脚走) down the track. I felt defeated. The old me had never felt so far away. Running felt like a burden, and the joy was far away from me. Even worse, I felt like a living dead at home. My son wasn’t sleeping through the night, which was exhausting all my extra energy. However, I kept going. I went out for a run again and again. A few times a week, I pulled on my shoes and slowly, my one mile route turned into a 5kilometer. Gone were the debates in my head over whether I was a good mom and whether my house would ever be clean again. Running just let me be. I had signed up for the half marathon I ran annually before my son was born as a motivation. When I began running, the marathon route felt so long, but then suddenly, it was over. When I crossed the finish line, I felt like a champion wearing my participant’s medal. My finish time was just a number; what mattered more to me was the journey. Through my running experience, I have realized that nothing is impossible to a willing heart, not only running, but also anything else. 4. Why did the author run in her twenties? A. To enjoy some alone time. B. To maintain a good figure. C. To keep physical health. D. To pursue inner peace. 5. Which of the following words can best describe the author? A. Proud. B. Determined. C. Outgoing. D. Modest. 6. What can be inferred from the fourth paragraph? A. The author occasionally joined in the marathon before. B. Half marathon seemed longer than expected all the way. C. What is worth doing well is to achieve high scores. D. What the author can gain during the process matters most. 7. What message does the article convey to readers? A. Where there is a will, there is a way. B. A good beginning is half success. C. Actions speak louder than words. D. Time lost cannot be regained. C What once seemed far away is now a reality: Ordinary people can walk in space. On Sept 12, the SpaceX Polaris Dawn crew made history by performing the world’s first commercial spacewalk. First announced in 2022, Polaris Dawn is the first of three missions designed to test and develop new space technologies. US Billionaire Jared Isaacman is the founder of the Polaris Program and has funded the missions through his collaboration with SpaceX. On Sept 10, the crew of four astronauts, including Isaacman, was launched into space. After two days of preparations, Isaacman first stepped out of the spacecraft. “Back at home we all have a lot of work to do, but from here - it looks like a perfect world,” he said as he stepped out into space. Another crew member, Sarah Gillis, also took part in the spacewalk, with the actual time spent outside being around 10 minutes per astronaut, reported CNN. Aside from this amazing achievement, the Polaris Dawn crew also tested their new SpaceX-designed spacewalk suits. The suit works like a mini-spacecraft that fits the human body. One of the engineers described it as “a suit of armor (盔甲) made of fabric”. Unlike the heavy white suits used by NASA astronauts, SpaceX’s suits don’t have a backpack life support system. Instead, they get air and power from tubes connected to the spacecraft. SpaceX plans to use these suits for many future missions, both around Earth and in deep space. Polaris Dawn also conducted nearly 40 scientific experiments. These experiments included testing wearable devices that collect body data, trying to reduce space motion sickness, and studying eye health in microgravity (微重力). Polaris Dawn also traveled through parts of Earth’s radiation belt, providing the chance to better understand how this radiation affects the human body. After the five-day mission, on Sept 15, the Polaris Dawn crew landed safely on Earth in Florida, US. NASA described the mission as “a giant leap forward” for the commercial space industry. It also brings SpaceX closer to its goal of commercializing space travel and reducing costs, which could enable people to live and work in space in the future. 8. What was a major achievement of the Polaris Dawn crew? A. They completed the longest spacewalk. B. They conducted the first commercial spacewalk. C. They stayed outside the spacecraft for over one hour. D. They became the first astronauts in deep space. 9. How do SpaceX’s spacewalk suits differ from NASA’s suits? A. They are larger but lighter in design. B. They have a built-in life support system. C. They are made from advanced materials. D. They rely on the spacecraft for resources. 10. What research did the Polaris Dawn crew do? A. Testing radiation protection systems. B. Evaluating the effects of space on hearing. C. Studying body health and motion in space. D Collecting data on Earth’s surface changes. 11. What broader goal does SpaceX aim to achieve through missions like Polaris Dawn? A. To discover new planets for exploration. B. To promote international cooperation in space. C. To make space travel more accessible to the public. D. To develop technology for sustainable space living. D Researchers from North Carolina State University argue that the addition of a fourth (white-colored) traffic signal would bring different traffic effects. “Our work introduced the idea of a fourth traffic signal called a ‘white phase’, which taps into the computing power of autonomous vehicles (AVs) in order to expedite traffic at crossroads,” says Prof. Ali Hajbabaie, corresponding author of the paper. “Our research found that the more AVs there are on the road, the more efficiently the traffic moves. You’ll see less congestion (堵塞). To be clear, this improves travel time, fuel efficiency and safety for all of the cars.” The white phase concept takes advantage of AVs’ ability to communicate wirelessly with each other and the computers in control of traffic signals. When enough AVs approach a crossroad, this would activate the new traffic light — the white light. While red lights mean stop, and green lights mean go, white lights will tell human drivers to simply follow the car in front of them. In other words, the white light serves as a signal. During the time, AVs are coordinating (协调) their movement to facilitate efficient traffic flow through the crossroad. When too many vehicles approaching the crossroad are driven by human drivers instead of AVs, the signal will return to the traditional green yellow red mode. “If at some point in the future we see almost universal adoption of AVs, our models suggest that delays at crossroads would decrease by more than 25%,” Hajbabaie says. Study authors acknowledge governments probably won’t adopt the new concept anytime soon. “Still, we’re now taking steps to ensure that future pilot projects will be both safe and effective. We’re currently setting up a physical testbed that will allow us to experiment with this concept in the physical world — not just in a computer model,” Hajbabaie concludes. “However, the vehicles we’re using in the testbed are small enough to hold in our hands. This will help us identify challenges without the expense — and safety risk — involved with using real vehicles.” 12. What does the underlined word “expedite” in paragraph 2mean? A. Work out. B. Speed up. C. Put off. D. Hold back. 13. What does paragraph 3 focus on? A. How the white phrase works. B. When the traditional signals return. C. What the white phrase brings vehicles. D. Why traffic efficiency is improved. 14. What does Hajbabaie expect of the white phrase? A. It’ll become more mature. B. It’ll reach consumers very soon. C. It’ll reduce experimental costs. D. It’ll be tested in a computer model. 15. What’s the best title for the text? A. Using White Phrase Indicates Advanced Traffic B. Fourth Traffic Signal Is Invented to Guide AVs C. Traffic Congestion Makes White Phase Happen D Adding 4th Traffic Signal Can Ease Congestion 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Your inner dialogue can either be a stepping stone or a barrier to reaching your goals.

After completing Grade Ten, my father came to me with some bad news. . . “Son, I’m sorry. I won’t be able to pay any more of your educational expenses.” I was the fourth and youngest son in the family. The family expenses had become too much for my father’s small army wage to handle. Not having money for my education worried me. I laid my head down that night, wondering what my future held in store. The words of my teacher came to me, “Nawaz, you must try and find another way for your future. Look at me! I grew up as a poor boy from the village. I struggled, I worked hard and I went to the city. You must find a way and never give up. ” I heard Karachi was a city of opportunity for poor people due to lots of small jobs. I decided to move to the city to get a job, so I could save up and pay for my education. On a busy street not far from where I stayed, I found a job in a small restaurant. I waited on tables, cleaned floors, and washed dishes. I slowly saved enough money for my college admission fee. After that, I studied by day. By night and on weekends I worked at the restaurant. I was tired but determined to complete my education. One day Mr. Jatin started asking me questions. “Where are you from?” “What are you doing here?” “Why are you working here?” He came to the restaurant for a cup of tea regularly in the afternoon, so the waiters were all familiar with him. I politely answered his questions about my situation. “Mmm, I see,” Mr. Jatin nodded. “I’ve watched you work hard. And I’d like to pay for all your college fees. You can quit your job and focus on your studies. ” 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。 I couldn’t believe what I had just heard. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Having got a well- paid job after graduation, I realized it was time to pay back. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 听力1-5 ACBAC 6-10 AACBB 11-15 BCABC 16-20 BCBAC 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
