Lucas was not like the others because he suffered from a disease known as bumble foot, which includes a range of bad foot conditions that stop animals from standing upright, and a lack of treatment can lead to possible death. For Lucas, life had been a series of treatments and disappointments. The zoo’s team had tried everything, but nothing seemed to work on his disease. Dr. Beth Bicknese, a member of the zoo’s team, said, “I’ve looked after Lucas for years. I am very sad when Lucas develops pains.” Then, there was a hope. The zoo’s team got the help of Thera-Paw, a company that designs products to help animals move better. “The orthopedic shoes (矫形鞋) from Thera-Paw help Lucas to fully join the group and show behaviors that are more typical for a penguin — such as climbing the rocks, swimming, nesting and finding a suitable mate,” said Dr. Beth Bicknese. Debbie Denton, a senior wildlife care specialist in the team, was there when Lucas first put on his shoes. “We were pleasantly surprised to see the immediate change in him,” she said. “Seeing him move about now gives us hope that he may be OK going forward and able to live a full life.” With every step Lucas took, he walked better, stood up straighter, and was more balanced. The rocky place that was hard to move around before was now fun to explore for Lucas. 4. What is the main symptom of bumble foot? A. Poor eyesight. B. Inability to stand upright. C. Loss of appetite. D. Difficulty in breathing. 5. Why was Dr. Beth Bicknese sad when Lucas developed pains? A. Because Lucas was very naughty. B. Because she couldn’t be there for Lucas. C.

He showed more typical penguin behaviors. D. He lost interest in social activities. 【答案】4. B 5. D 6. A 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了四岁的非洲企鹅卢卡斯患有禽掌炎，他得到了动物管理团队的悉心照顾，并在一双矫形鞋的帮助下，生活回归了正轨。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Lucas was not like the others because he suffered from a disease known as bumble foot, which includes a range of bad foot conditions that stop animals from standing upright, and a lack of treatment can lead to possible death.(卢卡斯不像其他动物，因为他患有一种被称为“禽掌炎”的疾病，这种疾病包括一系列糟糕的足部状况，使动物无法站立，缺乏治疗可能会导致死亡)”可知，禽掌炎的主要症状是不能站直。故选B。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“The zoo’s team had tried everything, but nothing seemed to work on his disease. Dr. Beth Bicknese, a member of the zoo’s team, said, “I’ve looked after Lucas for years. I am very sad when Lucas develops pains.”(动物园的团队尝试了所有方法，但似乎都没有对他的病起作用。动物园团队成员贝丝·比克内斯博士说：“我照顾卢卡斯很多年了。当卢卡斯出现病痛时，我很难过。”)”可知，当卢卡斯出现疼痛时贝丝·比克内斯医生会难过，因为她尝试了很多治疗方法，但都不奏效。故选D。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段““The orthopedic shoes (矫形鞋) from Thera-Paw help Lucas to fully join the group and show behaviors that are more typical for a penguin — such as climbing the rocks, swimming, nesting and finding a suitable mate,” said Dr. Beth Bicknese.(贝丝·比克尼斯博士说：“Thera-Paw的矫形鞋帮助卢卡斯完全融入这个群体，并表现出企鹅更典型的行为，比如爬石、游泳、筑巢和寻找合适的伴侣。”)”以及第五段“Debbie Denton, a senior wildlife care specialist in the team, was there when Lucas first put on his shoes. “We were pleasantly surprised to see the immediate change in him,” she said.(当卢卡斯第一次穿上鞋子时，团队中的高级野生动物护理专家Debbie Denton也在场。她说：“我们惊喜地看到他立即发生了变化。”)”可知，是矫形鞋帮助卢卡斯重获新生。故选A。 【7题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段““The orthopedic shoes (矫形鞋) from Thera-Paw help Lucas to fully join the group and show behaviors that are more typical for a penguin — such as climbing the rocks, swimming, nesting and finding a suitable mate,” said Dr. Beth Bicknese.(贝丝·比克尼斯博士说：“Thera-Paw的矫形鞋帮助卢卡斯完全融入这个群体，并表现出企鹅更典型的行为，比如爬石、游泳、筑巢和寻找合适的伴侣。”)”和最后一段“With every step Lucas took, he walked better, stood up straighter, and was more balanced.

And she spends a lot of time with them. But is it possible that Kaylee’s online friendships could be making her lonely? That’s what some experts believe. Connecting online is a great way to stay in touch, they say. However, some experts worry that many kids are so busy connecting online that they might be losing true friends. Could this be true? During your parents’ childhoods, connecting with friends usually meant spending time with them in the flesh. Kids played Scrabble around a table, not Words With Friends on their phones. When friends missed each other, they picked up the telephone, or even wrote letters to each other. Today, most communication takes place online. A typical teen spends more than 44 hours per week in front of a screen, much of which is spent on social media platforms. In fact, in many ways, online communication can make friendships stronger. “There’s definitely a positive influence. Kids can stay in constant contact, which means they can share more with each other,” says Katie Davis, co-author of The App Generation. Other experts, however, warn that too much online communication can hinder people from building deep friendships. “If we always stay online, we will have little time for our real-world friendships.” says Larry Rosen, a professor at California State University. Rosen also worries that today’s kids might mistake the “friends” on the social media for true friends in life. In tough times, you don’t need someone to like your picture or share your blogs. Instead, you need someone who will keep your secrets and hold your hand. 8. What do some experts mainly worry about Kaylee’s online friendships? A. She might be missing out on academic opportunities. B. She could be lonely despite having many online friends. C. She is spending too much time away from family activities. D. Her online friends could be negatively influencing her behavior. 9. According to Katie Davis, what positive aspect does online communication bring to friendships? A. Kids can have more face-to-face time. B. Kids can find true friends more easily. C. Kids can stay in constant touch and share more. D. Kids can make fewer mistakes in friendships. 10. What does the underlined word “hinder” in Paragraph 6 probably mean? A. Prevent. B. Affect. C. Collect. D. Promote. 11. What is Larry Rosen concerned about? A. Kids might spend too much time playing games. B. Kids might not be able to use social media properly. C. Kids might not have enough time for online friendships. D. Kids might confuse online friends with true friends. 【答案】8. B 9. C 10. A 11. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。现在的青少年把更多的时间用在网上交友，这样的现象让专家很担忧，专家认为青少年如果不断地关注虚拟世界，他们将几乎没有时间与现实世界建立友谊，从而错过了真正的友谊。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“But is it possible that Kaylee’s online friendships could be making her lonely? That’s what some experts believe. Connecting online is a great way to stay in touch, they say. However, some experts worry that many kids are so busy connecting online that they might be losing true friends.(但有没有可能是Kaylee的网上朋友让她感到孤独呢？这是一些专家的看法。他们说，网上联系是保持联系的好方法。然而，一些专家担心，许多孩子忙于上网，他们可能会失去真正的朋友)”可知，对于Kaylee的网上友谊，一些专家最担心的是尽管她有很多网友，但她可能很孤独。故选B。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段““There’s definitely a positive influence. Kids can stay in constant contact, which means they can share more with each other,” says Katie Davis, co-author of The App Generation.(“这绝对是一种积极的影响。孩子们可以保持不断的联系，这意味着他们可以彼此分享更多，”《应用程序的一代》的合著者凯蒂·戴维斯说)”可知，根据凯蒂·戴维斯的说法，在线交流让孩子们可以保持联系，分享更多。故选C。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“too much online communication can”以及后文“If we always stay online, we will have little time for our real-world friendships.(如果我们总是呆在网上，我们就没有时间和现实世界的朋友交往了)”可知，如果我们总是呆在网上，我们就没有时间和现实世界的朋友交往了，说明过多的在线交流可能会阻止人们在现实中建立深厚的友谊。故划线词意思是“阻止”。故选A。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Rosen also worries that today’s kids might mistake the “friends” on the social media for true friends in life.(罗森还担心，如今的孩子可能会把社交媒体上的“朋友”误认为是生活中的真正朋友)”可知，拉里·罗森在担心孩子们可能会把网上的朋友和真正的朋友搞混。故选D。 D If you had to use one word to define yourself, what would it be? Imagine trying to summarize your entire being in just one word or two — a challenging task indeed. Labels (标签), like “confident” or “creative”, may suggest certain aspects, but they can never fully capture the richness and depth of a person’s character. The biggest issue with labeling people is that it oversimplifies (过度简化) their complex nature. Using labels infers people’s current behavior is fixed, but people change. As they learn, they grow, and someone we think of in a certain way today might not remain the same in a few months or years. When we label people, we deny their complexity, their right to change, and their richness as human beings. Furthermore, labels can become self-fulfilling prophecies (预言). When people are constantly told they are a certain way, they may start to remember these labels and act accordingly. This restricts their potential for growth and development, as they may feel trapped by social expectations. For example, if parents label a child as “annoying” or “a complainer”, the child may feel their needs aren’t important. Over time, being ignored for complaining too much can lead the child to believe that expressing their needs is not acceptable. Consequently, their self-perception (自我认知) may suffer, and they may even start to devalue themselves as a result. Linguist Benjamin Wharf once argued that the words we use to describe what we see are rarely objective, as they carry personal prejudice (偏见). Labels can be harmful because they can reduce individuals to a single characteristic or stereotype. Therefore, we should be mindful of the language we use and the labels we attach to people. By adopting a more open view of life, people, and events, we can appreciate the richness and diversity of human experience, and cope with the complexities of our interconnected world. 12. What is the main problem with labeling people? A. It encourages creativity. B. It oversimplifies people’s complex nature. C. It enhances people’s self-perception. D. It promotes social harmony. 13. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the text? A. Labeling people can capture their complex nature and individuality. B. Labels never affect an individual’s self-perception or behavior. C. Labeling people can prevent people’s potential for growth and development. D. Labels applied to people will remain relevant indefinitely. 14. What does the author suggest in the last paragraph? A. Promoting open-mindedness. B. Using more labels to define people. C. Avoiding any form of communication. D. Sticking strictly to fixed descriptions. 15. Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text? A. The Tricks for Labeling People B. The Exploration of Labeling Humans C. Benjamin Wharf’s Perspective on Language D. Beyond Labels: Embracing the Richness of Human Experience 【答案】12. B 13. C 14. A 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。本文探讨了给人贴标签的问题，指出标签会过度简化人的复杂性，限制人的成长和发展，甚至影响人的自我认知。文章强调了应该避免给人贴标签，以更开放的心态去欣赏人类的丰富性和多样性。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段第一句“The biggest issue with labeling people is that it oversimplifies (过度简化)their complex nature.( 给人贴标签最大的问题是，它过度简化了他们复杂的本性)”可知，给人贴标签的最大问题是它过度简化了人的复杂性。故选B。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段第二句“This restricts their potential for growth and development, as they may feel trapped by social expectations.(这限制了他们成长和发展的潜力，因为他们可能感到被社会期望所束缚)”可知，给人贴标签会限制人的成长和发展的潜力，因为他们可能会觉得被社会期望所束缚。因此，C选项“Labeling people can prevent people’s potential for growth and development.(给人贴标签会阻碍人的成长和发展的潜力)”符合题意。故选C。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段最后一句“By adopting a more open view of life, people, and events, we can appreciate the richness and diversity of human experience, and cope with the complexities of our interconnected world.(通过对生活、人和事采取更开放的观点，我们可以欣赏人类经验的丰富性和多样性，并应对我们相互联系的世界的复杂性)”可知，作者建议我们应该采取更开放的心态来看待生活、人和事件，这样我们才能欣赏到人类经验的丰富性和多样性，并应对我们相互关联世界的复杂性。因此，A选项“Promoting open-mindedness.(提倡开放心态)”符合题意。故选A。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第一段最后一句“Labels (标签 ), like “confident” or “creative”, may suggest certain aspects, but they can never fully capture the richness and depth of a person’s character.(诸如“自信”或“有创造力”之类的标签可能会暗示某些方面，但它们永远无法完全捕捉到一个人性格的丰富性和深度)”和文章整体内容可知，文章主要讨论了给人贴标签的问题，强调了标签无法完全捕捉人的丰富性和深度，以及应该避免给人贴标签，以更开放的心态去欣赏人类的丰富性和多样性。因此，D选项“Beyond Labels: Embracing the Richness of Human Experience(超越标签：拥抱人类经验的丰富性)”是最合适的标题。故选D。 第二节（共5小题; 每小题2.5分, 满分12.5分） 根据短文内容, 从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 How to Keep Our Brains Healthy Our brains are not only the command center of our bodies but also the source of our creativity, problem-solving abilities, and emotional well-being.

I studied in the local school and dreamed to be an artist but Mom was against my dream. She thought the profession of artist couldn’t aid a person to meet the daily expenses (日常开销). I didn’t want her to worry as I knew about the hard work Mom did in order to survive after my father died in an accident. As each day passed, my dream became more passionate and I practiced more. One day I wandered in the hill to gather inspiration from the nature. Then I stopped at a beautiful place and watched those green grass at the bottom, but after a few seconds I fell asleep. In my dream I was creating a work of art that was famous in the whole world. After some time I woke up and went back. The following day I read about a painting competition that was being held in the town. I got the perfect opportunity to realize my desire but I didn’t have the courage to ask Mom for money to buy acrylic paints (丙烯颜料) and some brushes for the competition. In the evening when Mom returned from work, I saw she had a few notes and that money would be enough for me to buy those materials. The next morning before my mom woke up, I quietly took the money and went to the place where the competition was being held. As the competition began, I was quite nervous but I calmed down after a few seconds. I drew the place that I saw in my dream. I was so focused at my own work that I forgot time but I submitted (递交) my work just a couple of seconds before the end. 注意: 1. 所续写短文的词数应为150左右； 2, 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Going back home, I was afraid to see Mom. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ There was a call for me from the competition after a week. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】参考范文 Going back home, I was afraid to see Mom. I dared not look at her as she was boiling with anger. My voice didn’t come out but somehow I managed to gather up the courage and told her the truth. She blamed me for wasting money to buy those useless things. However, seeing my persistence, she didn`t say anything else. There was a call for me from the competition after a week. As soon as Mom picked up the phone and listened, her eyes widened in surprise and that phone call left her speechless. After the phone, Mom told me that it was wonderful news from the competition saying that I won the first prize worth $300. Mom realized that I was really good at art. She said she was wrong and apologized. From then on she no longer stopped me from desiring to be an artist and supported me in my every step. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者梦想成为一名艺术家，但妈妈反对。她认为艺术家的职业不能帮助一个人满足日常开支。作者为了参加比赛，拿了妈妈的钱去买颜料，母亲生气责备了作者，好在最后作者比赛得了奖，得到了母亲的支持。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“回家后，我害怕见到妈妈”可知，第一段可描写作者鼓起勇气告诉母亲真相，母亲看到作者的坚持什么也没说。 ②由第二段首句内容“一周后，我接到了比赛的电话”可知，第二段可描写作者比赛得了奖，也得到了母亲的支持。 2.续写线索：回家——告知真相——被母亲责备——接到比赛电话——得知获奖——得到支持 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①看着：look at /stare at ②购买：buy/purchase ③意识到：realize/be aware of 情绪类 ①惊讶：surprise /astonishment ②愤怒：anger/rage 【点睛】[高分句型1] As soon as Mom picked up the phone and listened, her eyes widened in surprise and that phone call left her speechless.

Lucas was not like the others because he suffered from a disease known as bumble foot, which includes a range of bad foot conditions that stop animals from standing upright, and a lack of treatment can lead to possible death. For Lucas, life had been a series of treatments and disappointments. The zoo’s team had tried everything, but nothing seemed to work on his disease. Dr. Beth Bicknese, a member of the zoo’s team, said, “I’ve looked after Lucas for years. I am very sad when Lucas develops pains.” Then, there was a hope. The zoo’s team got the help of Thera-Paw, a company that designs products to help animals move better. “The orthopedic shoes (矫形鞋) from Thera-Paw help Lucas to fully join the group and show behaviors that are more typical for a penguin — such as climbing the rocks, swimming, nesting and finding a suitable mate,” said Dr. Beth Bicknese. Debbie Denton, a senior wildlife care specialist in the team, was there when Lucas first put on his shoes. “We were pleasantly surprised to see the immediate change in him,” she said. “Seeing him move about now gives us hope that he may be OK going forward and able to live a full life.” With every step Lucas took, he walked better, stood up straighter, and was more balanced. The rocky place that was hard to move around before was now fun to explore for Lucas. 4. What is the main symptom of bumble foot? A. Poor eyesight. B. Inability to stand upright. C. Loss of appetite. D. Difficulty in breathing. 5. Why was Dr. Beth Bicknese sad when Lucas developed pains? A. Because Lucas was very naughty. B. Because she couldn’t be there for Lucas. C. Because she had never seen such a disease before. D. Because she had tried many treatments but none worked. 6. What helped Lucas get a new life? A. A pair of orthopedic shoes. B. A surgery. C. A suitable mate. D. Some specific medicine. 7. How did Lucas’ behavior change after using the product from Thera-Paw? A. He needed less sleep. B. He became more aggressive. C. He showed more typical penguin behaviors. D. He lost interest in social activities. C Thirteen-year-old Kaylee has a lot of friends — 532, actually, if you count up her online friends. And she spends a lot of time with them. But is it possible that Kaylee’s online friendships could be making her lonely? That’s what some experts believe. Connecting online is a great way to stay in touch, they say. However, some experts worry that many kids are so busy connecting online that they might be losing true friends. Could this be true? During your parents’ childhoods, connecting with friends usually meant spending time with them in the flesh. Kids played Scrabble around a table, not Words With Friends on their phones. When friends missed each other, they picked up the telephone, or even wrote letters to each other. Today, most communication takes place online. A typical teen spends more than 44 hours per week in front of a screen, much of which is spent on social media platforms. In fact, in many ways, online communication can make friendships stronger. “There’s definitely a positive influence. Kids can stay in constant contact, which means they can share more with each other,” says Katie Davis, co-author of The App Generation. Other experts, however, warn that too much online communication can hinder people from building deep friendships. “If we always stay online, we will have little time for our real-world friendships.” says Larry Rosen, a professor at California State University. Rosen also worries that today’s kids might mistake the “friends” on the social media for true friends in life. In tough times, you don’t need someone to like your picture or share your blogs. Instead, you need someone who will keep your secrets and hold your hand. 8. What do some experts mainly worry about Kaylee’s online friendships? A. She might be missing out on academic opportunities. B. She could be lonely despite having many online friends. C. She is spending too much time away from family activities. D. Her online friends could be negatively influencing her behavior. 9. According to Katie Davis what positive aspect does online communication bring to friendships? A. Kids can have more face-to-face time. B. Kids can find true friends more easily. C. Kids can stay in constant touch and share more. D. Kids can make fewer mistakes in friendships. 10. What does the underlined word “hinder” in Paragraph 6 probably mean? A. Prevent. B. Affect. C. Collect. D. Promote. 11. What is Larry Rosen concerned about? A. Kids might spend too much time playing games. B. Kids might not be able to use social media properly. C. Kids might not have enough time for online friendships. D. Kids might confuse online friends with true friends. D If you had to use one word to define yourself, what would it be? Imagine trying to summarize your entire being in just one word or two — a challenging task indeed. Labels (标签), like “confident” or “creative”, may suggest certain aspects, but they can never fully capture the richness and depth of a person’s character. The biggest issue with labeling people is that it oversimplifies (过度简化) their complex nature. Using labels infers people’s current behavior is fixed but people change. As they learn, they grow, and someone we think of in a certain way today might not remain the same in a few months or years. When we label people, we deny their complexity, their right to change, and their richness as human beings. Furthermore, labels can become self-fulfilling prophecies (预言). When people are constantly told they are a certain way, they may start to remember these labels and act accordingly. This restricts their potential for growth and development, as they may feel trapped by social expectations. For example, if parents label a child as “annoying” or “a complainer”, the child may feel their needs aren’t important. Over time, being ignored for complaining too much can lead the child to believe that expressing their needs is not acceptable. Consequently, their self-perception (自我认知) may suffer, and they may even start to devalue themselves as a result. Linguist Benjamin Wharf once argued that the words we use to describe what we see are rarely objective, as they carry personal prejudice (偏见). Labels can be harmful because they can reduce individuals to a single characteristic or stereotype. Therefore, we should be mindful of the language we use and the labels we attach to people. By adopting a more open view of life, people, and events, we can appreciate the richness and diversity of human experience, and cope with the complexities of our interconnected world. 12. What is the main problem with labeling people? A. It encourages creativity. B. It oversimplifies people’s complex nature. C. It enhances people’s self-perception. D. It promotes social harmony. 13. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the text? A. Labeling people can capture their complex nature and individuality. B. Labels never affect an individual’s self-perception or behavior. C. Labeling people can prevent people’s potential for growth and development. D. Labels applied to people will remain relevant indefinitely. 14. What does the author suggest in the last paragraph? A. Promoting open-mindedness. B. Using more labels to define people. C. Avoiding any form of communication. D. Sticking strictly to fixed descriptions. 15. Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text? A. The Tricks for Labeling People B. The Exploration of Labeling Humans C. Benjamin Wharf’s Perspective on Language D. Beyond Labels: Embracing the Richness of Human Experience 第二节（共5小题; 每小题2.5分, 满分12.5分） 根据短文内容, 从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 How to Keep Our Brains Healthy Our brains are not only the command center of our bodies but also the source of our creativity, problem-solving abilities, and emotional well-being.

I studied in the local school and dreamed to be an artist but Mom was against my dream. She thought the profession of artist couldn’t aid a person to meet the daily expenses (日常开销). I didn’t want her to worry as I knew about the hard work Mom did in order to survive after my father died in an accident. As each day passed, my dream became more passionate and I practiced more. One day I wandered in the hill to gather inspiration from the nature. Then I stopped at a beautiful place and watched those green grass at the bottom, but after a few seconds I fell asleep. In my dream I was creating a work of art that was famous in the whole world. After some time I woke up and went back. The following day I read about a painting competition that was being held in the town. I got the perfect opportunity to realize my desire but I didn’t have the courage to ask Mom for money to buy acrylic paints (丙烯颜料) and some brushes for the competition. In the evening when Mom returned from work, I saw she had a few notes and that money would be enough for me to buy those materials. The next morning before my mom woke up, I quietly took the money and went to the place where the competition was being held. As the competition began, I was quite nervous but I calmed down after a few seconds. I drew the place that I saw in my dream. I was so focused at my own work that I forgot time but I submitted (递交) my work just a couple of seconds before the end. 注意: 1. 所续写短文的词数应为150左右； 2, 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Going back home, I was afraid to see Mom. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ There was a call for me from the competition after a week. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 听力1~5 ABCAC 6~10 BACBA 11~15 BCCAB 16~20 ACBAC 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
