Among the best of the year’s crop, we picked five interesting and educational books that you should not miss out. ●Game Theory by Brian Clegg This concise book introduces the fundamental concepts of game theory, using a branch of mathematics to analyze strategic interactions, such as Nash equilibria and prisoner’s dilemmas in an accessible approach. ●A is for Arsenic: The Poisons of Agatha Christie by Kathryn Harkup This book combines chemistry with crime fiction, exploring the poisons used to craft plots in Christie’s work. Aimed at fans of Christie’s work, the book provides an engaging look at the intersection of literature and science. ●The Milky Way: An Autobiography of Our Galaxy by Moiya McTier The book presents a unique perspective on the history of the Milky Way galaxy, narrated as if the galaxy itself were speaking. The main “character”, Milky Way, shares its cosmic journey from formation to the present day, integrating scientific facts with storytelling. ●The Planet in a Pebble: A Journey Into Earth’s Deep History by Jan Zalasiewicz This book delves into the geological history of Earth by examining a single pebble found on a beach in Wales, revealing the vast timescales and processes that have shaped our planet over billions of years. ●How Mathematics Shapes Everyday Life by Ian Stewart The book demonstrates the practical applications of mathematics in everyday scenarios, illustrating how mathematical concepts foster technologies and solutions we take for granted. A highlight is Stewart’s ability to make complex ideas approachable and entertaining. 1. What do Game Theory and How Mathematics Shapes Everyday Life have in common? A. Their authors adopt a plain writing style. B. They are accessible and engaging to readers. C. They involve practical relevance of advanced math. D. Their authors use creative approach to explaining complex game concepts. 2. According to its content, The Milky Way: An Autobiography of Our Galaxy is ______. A. a diary B. a scientific literature C. an autobiography D. a popular science reading 3. Who are the target readers of the forth book? A. Travel blogger. B. Astronomy professors. C. Anyone interested in geology. D. Students majoring in education. B You’re likely a fan of Flamin’ Hot Cheetos because I presume you are a human being on Earth. All of us owe Richard Montañez, the inventor of the crunchy hot snacks a big thank you. As a son of a Mexican immigrant, he grew up in Southern California picking grapes, then worked at Frito-Lay, a subsidiary of PepsiCo known for its production of snacks. Although he started as a cleaner, earning a slim salary, he demonstrated exceptional work ethic and a keen interest in innovation. He frequently sought advice from Luis Corrons, an engineer at Frito-Lay, on various questions about the machines used in the plant, even though these were completely unrelated to his job. In 1992, when the plant faced bankruptcy because of the economic crisis, Montañez proposed the idea of applying a spicy flavor to corn chips and personally crafted samples amidst skepticism, which eventually led to the creation of Flamin’ Hot Cheetos with the help of Corrons. However, due to low brand awareness, Flamin’ Hot Cheetos didn’t sell well. After recognizing the issue, Montañez came up with the idea of having community groups help promote and distribute the products, as well as offering them for free to friends and family to taste. This product soon became a channel and turned into one of Frito-Lay’s most successful offerings, helping the company to pioneer a new segment within the snack food industry — spicy snacks. Montañez’s innovation not only transformed the snack food landscape in the United States but also promoted his status within the company and he eventually rose to become an executive at both PepsiCo and Frito-Lay. 4. Why does the author mention Flamin’ Hot Cheetos in paragraph 1? A. To show his or her love for the snacks. B. To provide some background information. C. To make readers feel relatable to the content. D. To emphasize the important role of Richard Montañez. 5. What can we learn from paragraph 3? A. Flamin’ Hot Cheetos became a hit when launched. B. All the co-workers didn’t support Montañez’s proposal. C. Flamin’ Hot Cheetos was based on traditional Mexican food. D. Montañez used quantities of advertisements to attract customers. 6. Which of the following words can best describe Richard Montañez? A. Caring and modest. B. Ambitious and creative. C. Grateful and selfless. D. Devoted and industrious. 7. What can be the best title of the text? A. The core values of Mexican immigrant. B. Each challenge harbors an opportunity. C. A story bigger behind the crunchy hot snacks. D. Latino Americans achieve their goals through great effort. C Have you ever encountered such people in your social circle? Their personalities are like durians (榴莲): Tough, cold and even intimidating on the outside, but with unique thoughts and profound emotions inside. These personalities are known as “Durian Personalities”. According to Erich Fromm, humans seek to integrate into groups while desiring personal independence. Durian Personalities fit this description perfectly — their emotional depth creates a special connection that goes beyond ordinary friendship while their uniqueness and independence are appealing. Psychologically, the phenomenon that people are obsessed with those of Durian Personalities is called the “Reactance Affinity Effect”. Simply put, people often feel a stronger attraction towards those who appear somewhat unapproachable because overcoming the challenge leads to deeper emotional satisfaction. It’s a psychological sense of “victory” — people feel they’ve not only established a relationship but also earned trust and recognition. The popularity of Durian Personalities is also driven by the longing for depth and genuine emotion in modern society. Psychological research shows that with increasing reliance on social networks and instant messaging tools, shallow relationships have made many lose patience and ability for deep communication. However, Durian Personalities offer a cure: Its “unapproachability” becomes a filtering mechanism, avoiding frivolous social interactions and encouraging deeper engagement in valuable interpersonal connections. The next time you meet some cold guys, pause and consider: Maybe they aren’t cold-hearted; they’re just protecting their rich inner world in their own way. Only those willing to spend time and effort to understand them can experience their unique emotions and profound thoughts. 8. Why does the author compare Durian Personalities to durians? A. They are hard to deal with. B. They have special unpleasant flavors. C. Their appearances are not in agreement with the inside. D. They arouse people’s curiosity to explore their inner world. 9. Why Durian Personalities are popular among people according to paragraph 2? A. Durian Personalities are sentimental but unique. B. Durian Personalities keep a proper distance with their friends. C. People desire to have deep and sincere communication with others. D. Making friends with Durian Personalities offers a sense of achievement. 10. What does the underlined word “frivolous” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Regular. B. Unnecessary. C. Nonprofitable. D. Time-consuming. 11. What’s the advice given by the author in the last paragraph? A. Show your sympathy when making friends. B Stay away from cold-hearted strangers in life. C. Explore genuine friendship with patience and care. D. Be friendly to those who protect your rich inner world. D Researchers from Sun Yat-sen University shared their findings in International Environment that microplastics (微塑料) can make hair loss worse by hurting the skin’s protective barriers through a process called oxidative stress (氧化应激). Microplastics are very small pieces of plastic, smaller than 5 millimeters. They come from bigger plastic items breaking down, like shopping bags, take-out containers, and drink bottles. These tiny bits can get into water, soil and air and they can move up the food chain and deposit in our body. The result of the first study shows when microplastics are tested in living animals, they can create oxidative stress and stop certain proteins from working properly. This can hurt the skin and the parts of the hair follicles where hair grows, finally leading to hair falling out. In the second study, researchers explored how new and aged microplastics affect the skin and hair in mice. They gave mice water with these microplastics for two months to see what would happen to their hair. After just one day, researchers could see that the microplastics had moved through the mice’s stomachs, got into their blood and ended up in their hair. After two months, the mice that drank water with aged microplastics had more damaged skin and falling hair than those with new microplastics. But further experiments are needed to decide whether aged microplastics are more harmful. “Notably, in daily life microplastics can be found in bottled water, clothes we wear, and even the air we breathe. It is estimated that a person consumes approximately 5 grams of micro-plastic particles per week on average,” said research leader Wang Xusheng. 12. How does the author develop paragraph 2? A. By quotation. B. By listing numbers. C. By comparison. D. By giving a definition. 13. What can be inferred from paragraph 3&4? A. Microplastics are absorbed through many organs. B. Microplastics finally deposit in the mice’s stomachs. C. Researchers will carry out further experiments on human beings. D. New and aged microplastics affect the mice to the same extent in the first study. 14. What is Wang Xusheng’s attitude towards microplastics in daily life? A. Indifferent. B. Objective. C. Concerned. D. Skeptical. 15 Why does the author write the passage? A. To stress on the importance of hair protection. B. To introduce some new findings of microplastics. C. To call for urgent action on plastic ban worldwide. D. To warn readers the danger of microplastics in daily life. 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。 We all occasionally experience mental confusion due to stress, aging, lack of sleep, or an unhealthy lifestyle.

Trevor was a thoughtful and compassionate child, always looking for ways to make a positive impact on those around him. One day, Trevor’s social studies teacher, Mr. Simonet announced a unique project: To come up with an idea to change the world and put it into action. Trevor’s eyes lit up with excitement. He remembered a conversation with his mother about how small acts of kindness can ripple out and touch many lives. This sparked an idea in Trevor’s mind. That evening, Trevor sat at the kitchen table, a pad of paper and a pencil in front of him. He sketched out his idea, drawing arrows and circles to represent how one act of kindness could lead to many more. He titled his project “Pay It Forward”. The concept was simple yet profound: Instead of paying back a favor, recipients of kindness should pay it forward to three other people. At the suggestion of his Mom, Trevor started with small acts of kindness. He helped an elderly neighbor, Mrs. Johnson, carry her groceries up the stairs. Mrs. Johnson, touched by Trevor’s kindness, planted a flower garden in her yard, beautifying the neighborhood. Trevor also fixed a broken fence for his friend, Chris, whose family was struggling financially. Chris, inspired by Trevor’s act, volunteered at a local food bank, helping to distribute meals to the needy. Each time Trevor performed an act of kindness, he asked the recipient to pay it forward to three others. The idea began to spread, and soon, more and more people were participating in Trevor’s Pay It Forward movement. Trevor kept a journal, documenting each act of kindness and the people it touched. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 One of the most significant moments came when Trevor helped a homeless man named Jerry. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Mr. Simonet, seeing the impact of Trevor’s project, called a local TV journalist to interview Trevor. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 高三年级期中考试 英语 注意事项： 1. 答题前，考生务必将自己的姓名、考生号、考场号、座位号填写在答题卡上。 2. 回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上。写在本试卷上无效。 3. 考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 第一部分 听力(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共5小题;每小题1.5分，满分7.5分) 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 1.

He frequently sought advice from Luis Corrons, an engineer at Frito-Lay, on various questions about the machines used in the plant, even though these were completely unrelated to his job. In 1992, when the plant faced bankruptcy because of the economic crisis, Montañez proposed the idea of applying a spicy flavor to corn chips and personally crafted samples amidst skepticism, which eventually led to the creation of Flamin’ Hot Cheetos with the help of Corrons. However, due to low brand awareness, Flamin’ Hot Cheetos didn’t sell well. After recognizing the issue, Montañez came up with the idea of having community groups help promote and distribute the products, as well as offering them for free to friends and family to taste. This product soon became a channel and turned into one of Frito-Lay’s most successful offerings, helping the company to pioneer a new segment within the snack food industry — spicy snacks. Montañez’s innovation not only transformed the snack food landscape in the United States but also promoted his status within the company and he eventually rose to become an executive at both PepsiCo and Frito-Lay. 4. Why does the author mention Flamin’ Hot Cheetos in paragraph 1? A. To show his or her love for the snacks. B. To provide some background information. C. To make readers feel relatable to the content. D. To emphasize the important role of Richard Montañez. 5. What can we learn from paragraph 3? A. Flamin’ Hot Cheetos became a hit when launched. B. All the co-workers didn’t support Montañez’s proposal. C. Flamin’ Hot Cheetos was based on traditional Mexican food. D. Montañez used quantities of advertisements to attract customers. 6. Which of the following words can best describe Richard Montañez? A. Caring and modest. B. Ambitious and creative. C. Grateful and selfless. D. Devoted and industrious. 7. What can be the best title of the text? A. The core values of Mexican immigrant. B. Each challenge harbors an opportunity. C. A story bigger behind the crunchy hot snacks. D.

C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了畅销零食辣味奇多的发明者Richard Montañez的故事，主要包括其背景、创新过程以及对公司和行业的影响。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。第一段“You’re likely a fan of Flamin’ Hot Cheetos because I presume you are a human being on Earth. All of us owe Richard Montañez, the inventor of the crunchy hot snacks a big thank you. (你可能是辣味奇多的粉丝，因为我假定你是地球上的一个人。我们所有人都欠Richard Montañez一个大大的感谢，他是松脆的火辣零食的发明者)”提到读者熟知的零食辣味奇多，拉近了读者与文本内容的距离，让读者更愿意接着读下去。由此可知，作者的目的在于让读者对内容产生联系。故选C项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“In 1992, when the plant faced bankruptcy because of the economic crisis, Montañez proposed the idea of applying a spicy flavor to corn chips and personally crafted samples amidst skepticism (1992年，工厂因经济危机面临破产时，Montañez在质疑声中提出了在玉米片中加入辣味的想法，并亲自制作了样品)”可知，并不是所有同事都支持Montañez的提议。故选B项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“As a son of a Mexican immigrant, he grew up in Southern California picking grapes (作为墨西哥移民的儿子，他在南加州采摘葡萄长大)”、“Although he started as a cleaner, earning a slim salary, he demonstrated exceptional work ethic and a keen interest in innovation. (虽然他一开始是一名清洁工，收入微薄，但他表现出了卓越的职业道德和对创新的浓厚兴趣)”、第三段中“In 1992, when the plant faced bankruptcy because of the economic crisis, Montañez proposed the idea of applying a spicy flavor to corn chips and personally crafted samples amidst skepticism, which eventually led to the creation of Flamin’ Hot Cheetos with the help of Corrons. (1992年，工厂因经济危机面临破产时，Montañez在质疑声中提出了在玉米片中加入辣味的想法，并亲自制作了样品，最终在Corrons的帮助下创造了辣味奇多)”和最后一段“Montañez’s innovation not only transformed the snack food landscape in the United States but also promoted his status within the company and he eventually rose to become an executive at both PepsiCo and Frito-Lay. (Montañez的创新不仅改变了美国休闲食品的格局，也提升了他在公司的地位，最终他成为了百事可乐和菲多利的高管)”可知，Montañez出身微寒，从一个清洁工开始做起，通过出色的工作道德和对创新的浓厚兴趣，在工厂危机时发明了辣味奇多，并在公司中晋升为高管。这些表明他是一个有抱负且富有创造力的人。故选B项。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段中“All of us owe Richard Montañez, the inventor of the crunchy hot snacks a big thank you. (我们所有人都欠Richard Montañez一个大大的感谢，他是脆脆的火辣零食的发明者)”可知，文章主要讲述了畅销零食辣味奇多的发明者Richard Montañez的故事，主要包括其背景、创新过程以及对公司和行业的影响。因此，C项“松脆的火辣食背后更大的故事”最契合文章主旨，适合作为文章标题。故选C项。 C Have you ever encountered such people in your social circle? Their personalities are like durians (榴莲): Tough, cold and even intimidating on the outside, but with unique thoughts and profound emotions inside. These personalities are known as “Durian Personalities”. According to Erich Fromm, humans seek to integrate into groups while desiring personal independence. Durian Personalities fit this description perfectly — their emotional depth creates a special connection that goes beyond ordinary friendship while their uniqueness and independence are appealing. Psychologically, the phenomenon that people are obsessed with those of Durian Personalities is called the “Reactance Affinity Effect”. Simply put, people often feel a stronger attraction towards those who appear somewhat unapproachable because overcoming the challenge leads to deeper emotional satisfaction. It’s a psychological sense of “victory” — people feel they’ve not only established a relationship but also earned trust and recognition. The popularity of Durian Personalities is also driven by the longing for depth and genuine emotion in modern society. Psychological research shows that with increasing reliance on social networks and instant messaging tools, shallow relationships have made many lose patience and ability for deep communication. However, Durian Personalities offer a cure: Its “unapproachability” becomes a filtering mechanism, avoiding frivolous social interactions and encouraging deeper engagement in valuable interpersonal connections. The next time you meet some cold guys, pause and consider: Maybe they aren’t cold-hearted; they’re just protecting their rich inner world in their own way. Only those willing to spend time and effort to understand them can experience their unique emotions and profound thoughts. 8. Why does the author compare Durian Personalities to durians? A. They are hard to deal with. B. They have special unpleasant flavors. C. Their appearances are not in agreement with the inside. D. They arouse people’s curiosity to explore their inner world. 9. Why Durian Personalities are popular among people according to paragraph 2? A. Durian Personalities are sentimental but unique. B. Durian Personalities keep a proper distance with their friends. C. People desire to have deep and sincere communication with others. D. Making friends with Durian Personalities offers a sense of achievement. 10. What does the underlined word “frivolous” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Regular. B. Unnecessary. C. Nonprofitable. D. Time-consuming. 11. What’s the advice given by the author in the last paragraph? A. Show your sympathy when making friends. B. Stay away from cold-hearted strangers in life. C. Explore genuine friendship with patience and care. D. Be friendly to those who protect your rich inner world. 【答案】8. C 9. D 10. B 11. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了什么是“榴莲人格”以及其性格特点。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Their personalities are like durians (榴莲): Tough, cold and even intimidating on the outside, but with unique thoughts and profound emotions inside. These personalities are known as “Durian Personalities”.(他们的性格就像榴莲：外表强硬、冷酷甚至令人生畏，但内心却有着独特的思想和深刻的情感。这些人格被称为“榴莲人格”)”可知，作者将“榴莲个性”和榴莲对比是因为它们的外表和内心不一致。故选C。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Simply put, people often feel a stronger attraction towards those who appear somewhat unapproachable because overcoming the challenge leads to deeper emotional satisfaction. It’s a psychological sense of “victory” — people feel they’ve not only established a relationship but also earned trust and recognition.(简单地说，人们往往对那些看起来有些难以接近的人更有吸引力，因为克服挑战会带来更深层次的情感满足。这是一种心理上的“胜利”感——人们觉得他们不仅建立了一段关系，而且赢得了信任和认可)”可知，榴莲性格在人们中很受欢迎因为和榴莲型人格的人交朋友给人一种成就感。故选D。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“Durian Personalities offer a cure: Its “unapproachability” becomes a filtering mechanism, avoiding(榴莲人格提供了一种治疗方法：它的“不可接近性”变成了一种过滤机制，避免……)”以及后文“social interactions and encouraging deeper engagement in valuable interpersonal connections.(……社交互动，鼓励更深入地参与有价值的人际关系)”可知，榴莲人格的“不可接近性”变成了一种过滤机制，避免了不必要的社交互动，鼓励更深入地参与有价值的人际关系。故划线词意思是“不必要的”。故选B。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Only those willing to spend time and effort to understand them can experience their unique emotions and profound thoughts.(只有那些愿意花时间和精力去理解他们的人，才能体会到他们独特的情感和深刻的思想)”可知，作者建议用耐心和关心去探索真正的友谊。故选C。 D Researchers from Sun Yat-sen University shared their findings in International Environment that microplastics (微塑料) can make hair loss worse by hurting the skin’s protective barriers through a process called oxidative stress (氧化应激). Microplastics are very small pieces of plastic, smaller than 5 millimeters. They come from bigger plastic items breaking down, like shopping bags, take-out containers, and drink bottles. These tiny bits can get into water, soil and air and they can move up the food chain and deposit in our body. The result of the first study shows when microplastics are tested in living animals, they can create oxidative stress and stop certain proteins from working properly. This can hurt the skin and the parts of the hair follicles where hair grows, finally leading to hair falling out. In the second study, researchers explored how new and aged microplastics affect the skin and hair in mice. They gave mice water with these microplastics for two months to see what would happen to their hair. After just one day, researchers could see that the microplastics had moved through the mice’s stomachs, got into their blood and ended up in their hair. After two months, the mice that drank water with aged microplastics had more damaged skin and falling hair than those with new microplastics. But further experiments are needed to decide whether aged microplastics are more harmful. “Notably, in daily life microplastics can be found in bottled water, clothes we wear, and even the air we breathe. It is estimated that a person consumes approximately 5 grams of micro-plastic particles per week on average,” said research leader Wang Xusheng. 12. How does the author develop paragraph 2? A. By quotation. B. By listing numbers. C. By comparison. D. By giving a definition. 13. What can be inferred from paragraph 3&4? A. Microplastics are absorbed through many organs. B. Microplastics finally deposit in the mice’s stomachs. C. Researchers will carry out further experiments on human beings. D. New and aged microplastics affect the mice to the same extent in the first study. 14. What is Wang Xusheng’s attitude towards microplastics in daily life? A. Indifferent. B. Objective. C. Concerned. D. Skeptical. 15. Why does the author write the passage? A. To stress on the importance of hair protection. B. To introduce some new findings of microplastics. C To call for urgent action on plastic ban worldwide. D To warn readers the danger of microplastics in daily life. 【答案】12. D 13. A 14. C 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了微塑料通过氧化应激损害皮肤屏障，加重脱发的研究发现。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。由文章第二段“Microplastics are very small pieces of plastic, smaller than 5 millimeters. They come from bigger plastic items breaking down, like shopping bags, take-out containers, and drink bottles. These tiny bits can get into water, soil and air and they can move up the food chain and deposit in our body. (微塑料是非常小的塑料片，小于5毫米。它们来自于大型塑料物品的分解，比如购物袋、外卖容器和饮料瓶。这些微小的颗粒可以进入水、土壤和空气，它们可以沿着食物链向上移动，并沉积在我们的体内)”可知，作者通过下定义的方式解释了微塑料是什么。故选D。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。由文章第四段中“After just one day, researchers could see that the microplastics had moved through the mice’s stomachs, got into their blood and ended up in their hair. After two months, the mice that drank water with aged microplastics had more damaged skin and falling hair than those with new microplastics. (仅仅一天之后，研究人员就可以看到微塑料已经穿过老鼠的胃，进入它们的血液，最后进入它们的头发)”可以推断，微塑料通过多个器官被吸收。故选A。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。由文章最后一段““Notably, in daily life microplastics can be found in bottled water, clothes we wear, and even the air we breathe. It is estimated that a person consumes approximately 5 grams of micro-plastic particles per week on average,” said research leader Wang Xusheng. (“值得注意的是，在日常生活中，瓶装水、我们穿的衣服、甚至我们呼吸的空气中都含有微塑料。据估计，一个人平均每周摄入约5克塑料微粒，”研究负责人王旭生说)”可知，王旭生提到日常生活中的微塑料问题时，表达了对微塑料广泛存在及其潜在危害的关注和担心。故选C。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是由文章第一段“Researchers from Sun Yat-sen University shared their findings in International Environment that microplastics (微塑料) can make hair loss worse by hurting the skin’s protective barriers through a process called oxidative stress (氧化应激). (中山大学的研究人员在《国际环境》杂志上分享了他们的研究发现，即微塑料可以通过一个称为氧化应激的过程损伤皮肤的保护屏障，从而加剧脱发)”可知，文章主要介绍了中山大学研究人员的研究发现，即微塑料可以通过氧化应激过程伤害皮肤的保护屏障，从而加剧脱发。因此推知，文章的主要目的是介绍微塑料的一些新发现。故选B。 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。 We all occasionally experience mental confusion due to stress, aging, lack of sleep, or an unhealthy lifestyle.

Trevor was a thoughtful and compassionate child, always looking for ways to make a positive impact on those around him. One day, Trevor’s social studies teacher, Mr. Simonet announced a unique project: To come up with an idea to change the world and put it into action. Trevor’s eyes lit up with excitement. He remembered a conversation with his mother about how small acts of kindness can ripple out and touch many lives. This sparked an idea in Trevor’s mind. That evening, Trevor sat at the kitchen table, a pad of paper and a pencil in front of him. He sketched out his idea, drawing arrows and circles to represent how one act of kindness could lead to many more. He titled his project “Pay It Forward”. The concept was simple yet profound: Instead of paying back a favor, recipients of kindness should pay it forward to three other people. At the suggestion of his Mom, Trevor started with small acts of kindness. He helped an elderly neighbor, Mrs. Johnson, carry her groceries up the stairs. Mrs. Johnson, touched by Trevor’s kindness, planted a flower garden in her yard, beautifying the neighborhood. Trevor also fixed a broken fence for his friend, Chris, whose family was struggling financially. Chris, inspired by Trevor’s act, volunteered at a local food bank, helping to distribute meals to the needy. Each time Trevor performed an act of kindness, he asked the recipient to pay it forward to three others. The idea began to spread, and soon, more and more people were participating in Trevor’s Pay It Forward movement. Trevor kept a journal, documenting each act of kindness and the people it touched. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 One of the most significant moments came when Trevor helped a homeless man named Jerry. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Mr. Simonet, seeing the impact of Trevor’s project, called a local TV journalist to interview Trevor. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 One of the most significant moments came when Trevor helped a homeless man named Jerry. Jerry was sitting outside a grocery store, shivering in the cold. Trevor approached him with a warm blanket and a hot meal. Jerry’s eyes welled up with tears as he expressed his gratitude. Inspired by Trevor’s kindness, Jerry decided to clean up his appearance and look for a job. Shortly afterward, he secured a position at a local diner, where he worked diligently and eventually became a valued team member. Jerry’s transformation story spread, further expanding the ripple effect of Trevor’s Pay It Forward movement. Mr. Simonet, seeing the impact of Trevor’s project, called a local TV journalist to interview Trevor. The story of a young boy’s idea to change the world through kindness caught the public’s attention. During the interview, Trevor humbly shared his motivation and the unexpected success of his project. As the broadcast aired, people from all walks of life were inspired to adopt the Pay It Forward philosophy, leading to a nationwide movement. Trevor’s simple idea, born at a kitchen table, had touched countless lives and reinforced the notion that small acts of kindness can indeed change the world for the better. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，主要讲述了主人公特雷弗·麦金尼受到社会学老师西蒙内特先生布置的一项作业的启发，特雷弗想到了“将爱传递”这个概念。他帮助了一位无家可归者杰瑞，后者因此受到了鼓舞，改善了自己的生活，并且找到了工作。 随着特雷弗项目的影响力日益增长，西蒙内特老师联系了当地的一名电视记者来采访特雷弗。这次采访不仅让特雷弗的故事得到了广泛的关注，也激发了全国各地不同背景的人们参与到“将爱传递”的行动之中。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“最重要的时刻之一是特雷弗帮助了一个名叫杰瑞的无家可归者。”可知，第一段可描写特雷弗帮助无家可归者杰瑞的情景，以及杰瑞受到帮助后的反应，进一步展示“Pay It Forward”的影响力。 ②由第二段首句内容“西蒙内特先生看到了特雷弗项目的影响，打电话给当地电视台记者采访特雷弗。”可知，第二段可描写特雷弗在接受电视采访过程中分享他的想法，他的故事激励更多人加入到“Pay It Forward”运动之中。 2.续写线索：特雷弗帮助杰瑞——杰瑞的转变与影响扩大——特雷弗接受采访——引发更广泛参与——“Pay It Forward”运动成长为全国性活动。 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①颤抖：shiver→tremble ②寻找：look for→hunt for ③鼓励：inspire→encourage 情绪类 ①感激：gratitude→appreciation ②感动：touch→impress 【点睛】【高级句型1】Jerry was sitting outside a grocery store, shivering in the cold.
