The Children’s Theatre of Cincinnati will present Cinderella Wore Cowboy Boots for one night only on Jan. 26. The traveling show is for children aged 4 and up and promises “knee-slapping” comedic moments and heartwarming life lessons. “I love children’s theatre,” says Rosvic Siason, who plays Cinderella. “Kids are our future and we introduce them to these stories. We all have situations at one point in our life that look like this conversation. It just kind of helps you develop your brain and learn how to think as a developing person. It’s really important to expose kids to theatre and well-rounded actors they can talk to for guidance.” These one-man, one-woman shows have so much beauty because they are very raw. People actually follow along much easier than you think. It’s easy to share a feeling. They will be promoted to interact, deliver lines and repeat after Cinderella throughout the production. Cinderella Wore Cowboy Boots will deliver a funny, meaningful twist on the classic fairy tale that encourages audiences to expand their imagination. “Using imagination helps kids to think of things in more ways than one,” Siason says. “It opens them up and makes them think, ‘Hey, this is one way this could work.’ Or ‘I could try this way, and then see what happens.’” Visit fairfield-city.org for tickets and more information. 21. What is Cinderella Wore Cowboy Boots? A. A book. B. A theatre. C. A lesson. D. A performance. 22. Siason thinks stories in children’s theatre can ________. A. offer temporary amusement B. help deal with life’s challenges C. allow individuals to avoid reality D. provide opportunities to make friends 23. What might Siason encourage children to do? A. Stick to the rules. B. Dare to dream big. C. Think outside the box. D. Stay with the crowd. B In August 2020, our family received terrible news. My daughter Camille was pregnant, and a routine ultrasound revealed that her baby, a little girl named Lila, was in danger. Camille and her husband, Jarrett, lived in Knoxville, Tenn., where they were finishing their undergraduate degree. But my wife, Nancy, and I knew they were coming home to live with us for a while outside Nashville. Vanderbilt Children’s Hospital was not far away, and Lila was placed in the care of a brilliant doctor named Irving Zamora. On Dec.15, Lila was born. It’d be too much to say she was “healthy”. But after a few operations, the girl we thought might die was very much alive. It was a miracle. Two weeks later, Lila came home, to our home. Three generations were under one roof. We have a tiny apartment over our garage, and that’s where Camille, Jarrett and Lila settled for most of the next two and a half years. And then, in March, they added one more — a healthy baby boy named Ezra. For more than two years our house was bursting at the seams. Two grandparents worked full-time from home. A young mom and dad also worked and studied for the LSAT. Our college-age son, Austin, was in and out, depending on his school schedule. And our teenage daughter, Naomi, finished middle school and started high school. Add in two grandbabies and two poorly trained dogs, and ours was not the kind of house you’d drop by and discover a state of perfect calm and order. One of the great joys of aging is watching the people you love grow into each of their new roles, like slowly blooming flowers that reveal petals of different colors. I see my older daughter as a mother, my younger daughter as an aunt and my son as an uncle. And Nancy, the girl I met and fell in love with during a conversation on a college sidewalk? She’s a mom and a grandmother now, and each new dimension of her character causes me to love her even more. 24. Why did Camille move to Nashville? A. To look for well-paid jobs. B. To learn from a doctor. C. To get better care for her baby. D. To attend to her parents. 25. Which can replace the underlined words in paragraph 3? A. Was full of people. B. Was quite short of money. C. Became very calm and orderly. D. Experienced feelings of grief and joy. 26. What can be inferred about the author from the last paragraph? A. He feels his age. B. He is satisfied with his life. C. His wife teaches in a college. D. His younger daughter is in middle school. 27. What does the author intend to convey in the text? A. The bad news can become a great joy. B. When we want to have more roses, we must plant trees. C. Miracles sometimes occur, but one has to work terribly for them. D. Great works are performed not by strength, but by perseverance. C Long lines with hundreds of baited hooks (铒钩) catch commercially valuable fish. But they also catch sharks and rays, turtles and birds. This harms ecosystems. And removing the unwanted creatures takes time, can be dangerous, and may damage the equipment. The size of the world’s bycatch, as such unwanted captures are called, is hard to measure. The fishing industry is huge, and much activity is unreported, unregulated and sometimes illegal. But a study published last year estimated that only half of the animals hooked by a long lining fleet in the Pacific Ocean were tuna (the intended target). The rest were bycatch. Sharks and rays, known collectively as elasmobranchs, seem particularly vulnerable. Some are sought deliberately, but a lot die as bycatch. Since 1970, the numbers have crashed by more than 70%. Part of the answer to that might be to discourage elasmobranchs from taking the bait without simultaneously discouraging target species such as tuna. Research carried out recently by a group at Exeter University, in England, suggests a small British company called FishTek Marine may have devised a way of doing just that. The work in question, just published in Current Biology by Phillip Doherty and his colleagues, tested small cylindrical devices the company calls SharkGuards, which fit just above the hooks on long lines. Every two seconds they generate a strong electrical signal. Elasmobranchs can detect these and then avoid them. The team tested the device in 2021 on two fishing boats in southern France. They put SharkGuards on half of the 900 hooks of each of 22 long lines deployed by these boats, while leaving the other half as per normal. The hooks were sufficiently far apart on the lines that a device emitting a burst from one would not, they hoped, interfere with its neighbour. Then, once the lines had done their stuff, they analysed the resulting catches. The results were impressive. Of the two local elasmobranchs, hooks fitted with SharkGuards caught 91% fewer blue sharks and 71% fewer stingrays than those without one did. 28. What are long lines with baited hooks aimed at hunting? A. Turtles. B. Rays. C. Tuna. D. Sharks. 29. What does the underlined word “vulnerable” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Well protected. B. Easily hurt. C. Physically challenged. D. Widely welcomed. 30. What has FishTek Marine developed to address the issue of bycatch? A. A device warning elasmobranchs against the bait. B. A special type of bait appealing to the target species. C. A type of hook that is less attractive to nontarget species. D. A system that uses sound waves to scare away sharks and rays. 31 What is the purpose of the author in writing the last paragraph? A. To find the places where SharkGuards are used. B. To explore the principle of SharkGuards. C. To test the limitation of SharkGuards. D. To show SharkGuards are helpful. D Becoming a successful athlete is an admirable aspiration, but it’s important to keep a sense of perspective. Only 180 of 1.5 million youth footballers in the UK are likely to reach their goal and make it as professional players in the Premier League. I’ve done the math for you and here’s some bad news: 99.99 percent of all young football hopeful s will end up disappointed. Similarly, male basketball players in the US only have a 0.03 percent chance of turning their sporty hobby into a professional career. Losing sight of the overall statistics and ignoring the objective chances of success is a common mistake when following big role models. This tendency has been termed “Survivorship Bias”. It refers to people overestimating their likelihood of succeeding by focusing on a few lucky overachievers or “survivors”, who managed to beat the odds. Sure, a handful of outstanding athletes fulfil their dreams of winning multiple Olympic medals. However, these athletes are the exception, not the rule. They represent rare outliers on the normal distribution curve of athletic achievement. While evidence for survivorship bias is plentiful, you may question its negative consequences. Surely, role models can be strong motivators, inspiring ordinary people to surpass themselves, grow inner strength and discipline, and persevere during adverse circumstances? Especially in the context of sports, this must be considered an advantage. With obesity levels at an all-time high, shouldn’t we welcome any factors that increase people’s interest in physical activity? It is true that survivorship bias can be a key source of motivation. Nevertheless, a number of dangerous consequences for people’s decision-making must not be underestimated. They could neglect reasons for failure, take big risks, and not know when to give up. As a passionate hobby yogi, who follows many famous yoga teachers and athletes on social media, I am all too aware of the risks associated with survivorship bias. Sure, I’d love to have an online yoga channel with millions of followers. I’d also like to master amazing, one-handed arm balances. But it’s important to stay realistic. Keeping a sense of perspective is essential for benefiting from the positive motivational aspects of having role models, while managing the dangers associated with more serious forms of survivorship bias. 32. What do the figures in paragraph 1 suggest? A. Football is a very popular sport in the UK. B. Being a professional player is a long shot. C. It takes sweat and determination to do well in sports. D. It’s harder to become a basketball player in the US than in the UK. 33. Which is the author’s understanding of survivorship bias? A. It usually happens in the area of professional sports. B. People are more likely to succeed by following role models. C. Losing sight of the overall statistics may result in blind admiration. D. Some fortunate winners make people overvalue their chances of success. 34. What’s paragraph 3 mainly about? A. The advantages and disadvantages of survivorship bias. B. Why survivorship bias comes into being. C. The ways survivorship bias develops. D. Who survivorship bias benefits. 35. How can we beat survivorship bias according to the author? A By practising yoga regularly. B. By motivating ourselves continuously. C. By avoiding people favouring survivorship bias. D. By being a realist and learning from role models wisely. 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。 I run a lot of writing workshops in secondary schools and what I often see is this: teenagers in class just look at the blank page and freeze. Even when I assure them they can’t get it wrong in creative writing, they still pause and feel painful, looking to me for clear and definite instructions. This behavior results from their training to mimic (模仿). ___36___ In time, they are terrified of getting things wrong and risking failure. Creativity is no longer advocated and is even viewed as a soft skill, or even a weakness. However, creativity is highly valued by employers. According to The Conversation, creativity has been the number-one skill demanded by 20 million job ads on LinkedIn for two years in a row. ___37___ Due to limited educational resources and assessment pressures, teenagers’ thinking becomes increasingly narrow, leaving them afraid to explore other possibilities. ___38___ It’s just an ability to make new connections and follow where they go. Actually, creativity requires qualities available to us all: courage, observation, curiosity, flexibility and perseverance. So how do we help teenagers be hopeful and brave? Firstly, we need to avoid the idea that their entire futures depend on this very assignment or that decision. ___39___ There is no right way to live a life. Secondly, let’s encourage inquiry. Children are naturally curious, but this curiosity often fades as they grow older, although it still exists within them. Just because they lack answers doesn’t mean they shouldn’t ask questions; rather, they should ask even more. ___40___ Young people need reminding that their stories haven’t been written. They need opportunities to try new things. They need permission to keep asking “what else is possible?” because anything is. A. But in schools, it is different. B. Being creative isn’t a magical skill. C. It allows us to understand their feelings better. D. They know it is a safe way to get good grades. E. The main problem is how to keep those creative juices flowing. F. Life is long enough to try many things and to change directions. G. The universe is held together with unanswered questions and endless possibilities. 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 For the past 18 years, my daughter has been around me all the time.

The invitation came from Mr Thompson, the debate club advisor and a respected English teacher known for his persuasive speaking skills and his ability to inspire students. Up to that point, I had always been the quiet type, more comfortable expressing myself through writing rather than speaking. My essays received high praise for their clarity and style, and it was my written work that caught Mr Thompson’s attention. “You have a knack for structuring arguments in your essays,” he told me one afternoon as I was leaving class. “I believe you can bring those skills into a debate setting. Why not give it a try?” Despite his encouraging words, the idea of speaking publicly was challenging. I had always avoided any form of public presentation, troubled by a fear of stumbling over words and facing the judgmental stares of an audience. However, Mr Thompson did not give up easily. He assured me that the debate club was a supportive environment where I could grow at my own pace. Unwillingly, I agreed to attend a few sessions. The first few meetings were as challenging as I had feared. I struggled to find my voice, my arguments sounded weaker when spoken than they did on paper. Each session ended with me vowing never to return. As time passed from weeks to months, I noticed a shift in my approach. The weekly debate topics forced me to engage with a wide array of subjects, from environmental policy to technological ethics, pushing me to not only form opinions but also express them confidently in front of an audience. The club members, some of whom were experienced debaters, provided constructive feedback. 注意： （1）续写词数应为150个左右； （2）请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 A significant turning point came during one of our inter-school competitions. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ As the school year ended and the final debate approached, I was no longer the reluctant participant but one of the club’s most enthusiastic members. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$null 高考模拟•英语 （120分钟 150分） 考生须知： 1.本卷侧重：高考评价体系之综合性。 2.本卷怎么考：考查阅读中理解文中信息从而做出推断的综合能力（题27）。 3.本卷典型情境题：阅读D。 4.本卷测试范围：高考全部内容。 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. 【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 How did the man get to the museum?

W: I do apologize. I had no idea. I’m away so much. M: I know. It’s also why he’s barking so much. He’s lonely. You shouldn’t keep a dog like that. W: I know. But I am always lonely at home and I thought having a dog would help. M: Well. I can understand that. Look, it’s only the barking that’s a problem. I could take him for a short walk a couple of times a day if you like. W: Oh, that would be great. 听下面一段独白，回答以下小题。【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 17. Which may bring about the most serious punishment? A.

The Children’s Theatre of Cincinnati will present Cinderella Wore Cowboy Boots for one night only on Jan. 26. The traveling show is for children aged 4 and up and promises “knee-slapping” comedic moments and heartwarming life lessons. “I love children’s theatre,” says Rosvic Siason, who plays Cinderella. “Kids are our future and we introduce them to these stories. We all have situations at one point in our life that look like this conversation. It just kind of helps you develop your brain and learn how to think as a developing person. It’s really important to expose kids to theatre and well-rounded actors they can talk to for guidance.” These one-man, one-woman shows have so much beauty because they are very raw. People actually follow along much easier than you think. It’s easy to share a feeling. They will be promoted to interact, deliver lines and repeat after Cinderella throughout the production. Cinderella Wore Cowboy Boots will deliver a funny, meaningful twist on the classic fairy tale that encourages audiences to expand their imagination. “Using imagination helps kids to think of things in more ways than one,” Siason says. “It opens them up and makes them think, ‘Hey, this is one way this could work.’ Or ‘I could try this way, and then see what happens.’” Visit fairfield-city.org for tickets and more information. 21. What is Cinderella Wore Cowboy Boots? A. A book. B. A theatre. C. A lesson. D. A performance. 22. Siason thinks stories in children’s theatre can ________. A. offer temporary amusement B. help deal with life’s challenges C. allow individuals to avoid reality D. provide opportunities to make friends 23. What might Siason encourage children to do? A. Stick to the rules. B. Dare to dream big. C. Think outside the box. D. Stay with the crowd. 【答案】21. D 22. B 23. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，文章介绍了场名为Cinderella Wore Cowboy Boots的儿童剧。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“The Children’s Theatre of Cincinnati will present Cinderella Wore Cowboy Boots for one night only on Jan. 26. (辛辛那提儿童剧院将在1月26日仅此一晚上演《灰姑娘穿牛仔靴》。)”可知，Cinderella Wore Cowboy Bools 是一场表演。故选D项。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“It just kind of helps you develop your brain and learn how to think as a developing person. It’s really important to expose kids to theatre and well-rounded actors they can talk to for guidance. (这有助于你发展大脑，学习如何作为一个成长中的人思考。让孩子们接触戏剧和他们可以交流以获得指导的全面发展的演员真的非常重要。)”可知，儿童剧院上映的故事可以帮助人们培养思考能力，应对生活中的挑战。故选B项。 【23题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“It opens them up and makes them think, ‘Hey, this is one way this could work.’ Or ‘I could try this way, and then see what happens.’ (它让孩子们开阔视野，让他们思考，“嘿，这是可能奏效的一种方式。”或者“我可以尝试这种方法，然后看看会发生什么。”)”可知，Siason认为，想象力可以帮助孩子以多种方式思考问题这与“跳出思维定式 (Think outside the box)”的观念直接相关。故选C项。 B In August 2020, our family received terrible news. My daughter Camille was pregnant, and a routine ultrasound revealed that her baby, a little girl named Lila, was in danger. Camille and her husband, Jarrett, lived in Knoxville, Tenn., where they were finishing their undergraduate degree. But my wife, Nancy, and I knew they were coming home to live with us for a while outside Nashville. Vanderbilt Children’s Hospital was not far away, and Lila was placed in the care of a brilliant doctor named Irving Zamora. On Dec.15, Lila was born. It’d be too much to say she was “healthy”. But after a few operations, the girl we thought might die was very much alive. It was a miracle. Two weeks later, Lila came home, to our home. Three generations were under one roof. We have a tiny apartment over our garage, and that’s where Camille, Jarrett and Lila settled for most of the next two and a half years. And then, in March, they added one more — a healthy baby boy named Ezra. For more than two years our house was bursting at the seams. Two grandparents worked full-time from home. A young mom and dad also worked and studied for the LSAT. Our college-age son, Austin, was in and out, depending on his school schedule. And our teenage daughter, Naomi, finished middle school and started high school. Add in two grandbabies and two poorly trained dogs, and ours was not the kind of house you’d drop by and discover a state of perfect calm and order. One of the great joys of aging is watching the people you love grow into each of their new roles, like slowly blooming flowers that reveal petals of different colors. I see my older daughter as a mother, my younger daughter as an aunt and my son as an uncle. And Nancy, the girl I met and fell in love with during a conversation on a college sidewalk? She’s a mom and a grandmother now, and each new dimension of her character causes me to love her even more. 24. Why did Camille move to Nashville? A. To look for well-paid jobs. B. To learn from a doctor. C. To get better care for her baby. D. To attend to her parents. 25. Which can replace the underlined words in paragraph 3? A. Was full of people. B. Was quite short of money. C. Became very calm and orderly. D. Experienced feelings of grief and joy. 26. What can be inferred about the author from the last paragraph? A. He feels his age. B. He is satisfied with his life. C. His wife teaches in a college. D. His younger daughter is in middle school. 27. What does the author intend to convey in the text? A. The bad news can become a great joy. B. When we want to have more roses, we must plant trees. C. Miracles sometimes occur, but one has to work terribly for them. D. Great works are performed not by strength, but by perseverance. 【答案】24. C 25. A 26. B 27. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了，作者的大女儿的胎儿发育异常，生命垂危，但在医生的帮助下化险为夷，在作者一家人的照顾下茁壮成长，作者的大女儿后来又有了二胎，全家八口人幸福地生活在一起，这让他感受到了天伦之乐。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。由第一段中“My daughter Camille was pregnant, and a routine ultrasound revealed that her baby, a little girl named Lila, was in danger.(我的女儿卡米尔怀孕了，常规超声波检查显示，她的孩子，一个名叫莱拉的小女孩，有危险)”和“But my wife, Nancy, and I knew they were coming home to live with us for a while outside Nashville. Vanderbilt Children’s Hospital was not far away, and Lila was placed in the care of a brilliant doctor named Irving Zamora.(但我和妻子南希知道他们要回家，在纳什维尔郊外和我们住一段时间。范德比尔特儿童医院就在不远处，莱拉由一位名叫欧文·萨莫拉的杰出医生照顾)”可知，Camille的胎儿发育异常，她为了得到更好的照顾而住到父母家。故选C项。 【25题详解】 词句猜测题。由第三段中“For more than two years our house was bursting at the seams. Two grandparents worked full-time from home. A young mom and dad also worked and studied for the LSAT. Our college-age son, Austin, was in and out, depending on his school schedule. And our teenage daughter, Naomi, finished middle school and started high school. Add in two grandbabies and two poorly trained dogs(两年多来，我们的房子was bursting at the seams。两位祖父母在家全职工作。一对年轻的父母也为LSAT工作和学习。我们大学时代的儿子奥斯汀（Austin）进进出出，这取决于他的学校时间表。我们十几岁的女儿娜奥米完成了中学学业，开始上高中。再加上两个孙子和两只训练不佳的狗)”可知，作者两夫妻、读大学的儿子、读高中的小女儿，还有大女儿一家四口，都住在作者家里，由此可知，作者家有很多人，划线短语意为“挤满了人”。故选A项。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。由最后一段中“One of the great joys of aging is watching the people you love grow into each of their new roles, like slowly blooming flowers that reveal petals of different colors.(变老的最大乐趣之一就是看着所爱的人有了新的身份，就像慢慢绽放的花朵，绽放出不同颜色的花瓣)”可得出，作者对他的生活感到满意。故选B项。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文可知，作者的大女儿的胎儿发育异常，生命垂危，但在医生的帮助下化险为夷，在作者一家人的照顾下茁壮成长，作者的大女儿后来又有了二胎，全家八口人幸福地生活在一起。由此可知，有时候坏消息也可能变成快乐来源。故选A项。 C Long lines with hundreds of baited hooks (铒钩) catch commercially valuable fish. But they also catch sharks and rays, turtles and birds. This harms ecosystems. And removing the unwanted creatures takes time, can be dangerous, and may damage the equipment. The size of the world’s bycatch, as such unwanted captures are called, is hard to measure. The fishing industry is huge, and much activity is unreported, unregulated and sometimes illegal. But a study published last year estimated that only half of the animals hooked by a long lining fleet in the Pacific Ocean were tuna (the intended target). The rest were bycatch. Sharks and rays, known collectively as elasmobranchs, seem particularly vulnerable. Some are sought deliberately, but a lot die as bycatch. Since 1970, the numbers have crashed by more than 70%. Part of the answer to that might be to discourage elasmobranchs from taking the bait without simultaneously discouraging target species such as tuna. Research carried out recently by a group at Exeter University, in England, suggests a small British company called FishTek Marine may have devised a way of doing just that. The work in question, just published in Current Biology by Phillip Doherty and his colleagues, tested small cylindrical devices the company calls SharkGuards, which fit just above the hooks on long lines. Every two seconds they generate a strong electrical signal. Elasmobranchs can detect these and then avoid them. The team tested the device in 2021 on two fishing boats in southern France. They put SharkGuards on half of the 900 hooks of each of 22 long lines deployed by these boats, while leaving the other half as per normal. The hooks were sufficiently far apart on the lines that a device emitting a burst from one would not, they hoped, interfere with its neighbour. Then, once the lines had done their stuff, they analysed the resulting catches. The results were impressive. Of the two local elasmobranchs, hooks fitted with SharkGuards caught 91% fewer blue sharks and 71% fewer stingrays than those without one did. 28. What are long lines with baited hooks aimed at hunting? A. Turtles. B. Rays. C. Tuna. D. Sharks. 29. What does the underlined word “vulnerable” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Well protected. B. Easily hurt. C. Physically challenged. D. Widely welcomed. 30. What has FishTek Marine developed to address the issue of bycatch? A. A device warning elasmobranchs against the bait. B. A special type of bait appealing to the target species. C. A type of hook that is less attractive to nontarget species. D. A system that uses sound waves to scare away sharks and rays. 31. What is the purpose of the author in writing the last paragraph? A. To find the places where SharkGuards are used. B. To explore the principle of SharkGuards. C. To test the limitation of SharkGuards. D. To show SharkGuards are helpful. 【答案】28. C 29. B 30. A 31. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了渔业中副渔获物（即非目标捕捞物）的问题，特别是鲨鱼和鳐鱼等易受害物种的副渔获问题，并介绍了一种名为SharkGuards的设备，该设备旨在减少这类副渔获，同时不影响目标物种如金枪鱼的捕捞。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“But a study published last year estimated that only half of the animals hooked by a long lining fleet in the Pacific Ocean were tuna (the intended target).( 但去年发表的一项研究估计，在太平洋中使用延绳钓船队捕获的动物中，只有一半是金枪鱼（即目标捕捞物）。)”可知，带有饵钩的延绳钓主要目标是捕捞金枪鱼。故选C。 【29题详解】 词句猜测题。根据下文“Some are sought deliberately, but a lot die as bycatch. Since 1970, the numbers have crashed by more than 70%. (有些是被故意捕捞的，但很多是作为副渔获而死亡的。自1970年以来，数量已经骤减了70%以上。)”可知，鲨鱼和鳐鱼作为副渔获而大量死亡，说明它们容易受到捕捞活动的伤害。因此，“vulnerable”在这里的意思是“容易受伤的”。故选B。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Research carried out recently by a group at Exeter University, in England, suggests a small British company called FishTek Marine may have devised a way of doing just that.(英格兰埃克塞特大学的一个研究小组最近进行的研究表明，一家名为FishTek Marine的英国小公司可能已经找到了一种解决这个问题的方法。)”和文章第四段“The work in question, just published in Current Biology by Phillip Doherty and his colleagues, tested small cylindrical devices the company calls SharkGuards, which fit just above the hooks on long lines.(这项研究由Phillip Doherty及其同事发表在《当代生物学》上，测试了该公司称为SharkGuards的小型圆柱形设备，这些设备安装在延绳钓的钩子上方。)”可知，FishTek Marine公司开发了一种名为SharkGuards的设备，用于解决副渔获问题。这种设备能够警告板鳃类动物避开饵钩。故选A。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“The results were impressive. Of the two local elasmobranchs, hooks fitted with SharkGuards caught 91% fewer blue sharks and 71% fewer stingrays than those without one did.(结果令人印象深刻。在两种当地板鳃类动物中，装有SharkGuards的钩子捕获的蓝鲨减少了91%，刺鳐减少了71%，而没有安装该设备的钩子则捕获了更多。)”可知，最后一段主要介绍了SharkGuards在实际应用中的效果，通过对比实验数据展示了其显著减少副渔获的能力。因此，作者写最后一段的目的是为了展示SharkGuards的有效性。故选D。 D Becoming a successful athlete is an admirable aspiration, but it’s important to keep a sense of perspective. Only 180 of 1.5 million youth footballers in the UK are likely to reach their goal and make it as professional players in the Premier League. I’ve done the math for you and here’s some bad news: 99.99 percent of all young football hopeful s will end up disappointed. Similarly, male basketball players in the US only have a 0.03 percent chance of turning their sporty hobby into a professional career. Losing sight of the overall statistics and ignoring the objective chances of success is a common mistake when following big role models. This tendency has been termed “Survivorship Bias”. It refers to people overestimating their likelihood of succeeding by focusing on a few lucky overachievers or “survivors”, who managed to beat the odds. Sure, a handful of outstanding athletes fulfil their dreams of winning multiple Olympic medals. However, these athletes are the exception, not the rule. They represent rare outliers on the normal distribution curve of athletic achievement. While evidence for survivorship bias is plentiful, you may question its negative consequences. Surely, role models can be strong motivators, inspiring ordinary people to surpass themselves, grow inner strength and discipline, and persevere during adverse circumstances? Especially in the context of sports, this must be considered an advantage. With obesity levels at an all-time high, shouldn’t we welcome any factors that increase people’s interest in physical activity? It is true that survivorship bias can be a key source of motivation. Nevertheless, a number of dangerous consequences for people’s decision-making must not be underestimated. They could neglect reasons for failure, take big risks, and not know when to give up. As a passionate hobby yogi, who follows many famous yoga teachers and athletes on social media, I am all too aware of the risks associated with survivorship bias. Sure, I’d love to have an online yoga channel with millions of followers. I’d also like to master amazing, one-handed arm balances. But it’s important to stay realistic. Keeping a sense of perspective is essential for benefiting from the positive motivational aspects of having role models, while managing the dangers associated with more serious forms of survivorship bias. 32. What do the figures in paragraph 1 suggest? A. Football is a very popular sport in the UK. B. Being a professional player is a long shot. C. It takes sweat and determination to do well in sports. D. It’s harder to become a basketball player in the US than in the UK. 33. Which is the author’s understanding of survivorship bias? A. It usually happens in the area of professional sports. B. People are more likely to succeed by following role models. C. Losing sight of the overall statistics may result in blind admiration. D. Some fortunate winners make people overvalue their chances of success. 34. What’s paragraph 3 mainly about? A. The advantages and disadvantages of survivorship bias. B. Why survivorship bias comes into being. C. The ways survivorship bias develops. D. Who survivorship bias benefits. 35. How can we beat survivorship bias according to the author? A. By practising yoga regularly. B. By motivating ourselves continuously. C. By avoiding people favouring survivorship bias. D. By being a realist and learning from role models wisely. 【答案】32. B 33. D 34. A 35. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，文章介绍了一种认知偏差——幸存者偏差。 【32题详解】 推理判断题。根据第1段“Only 180 of 1.5 million youth footballers in the UK are likely to reach their goal and make it as professional players in the Premier League. (在英国，150万青少年足球运动员中，只有大约180人能够实现他们的目标，成为英超联赛的职业球员。)”及“ 99.99 percent of all young football hopeful s will end up disappointed. Similarly, male basketball players in the US only have a 0.03 percent chance of turning their sporty hobby into a professional career. (99.99%对足球充满希望的年轻人最终都会失望。同样，美国男篮球运动员将自己的运动爱好转变为职业生涯的几率只有0.03%。)”可知，这些数据表明成为一名成功的专业运动员的概率很小。故选B项。 【33题详解】 推断判断题。根据第2段“It refers to people overestimating their likelihood of succeeding by focusing on a few lucky overachievers or “survivors”, who managed to beat the odds. (它指的是人们通过关注少数幸运的超常表现者或“幸存者”——那些设法战胜困难的人——而高估了自己成功的可能性。)”可知，人们只看到经过某种选择而产生的结果，而没有意识到选择的过程，因此忽略了被筛选掉的关键信息。说明一些成功者的事例让人们高估成功的概率。故选D项。 【34题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第3段“ While evidence for survivorship bias is plentiful, you may question its negative consequences. Surely, role models can be strong motivators, inspiring ordinary people to surpass themselves, grow inner strength and discipline, and persevere during adverse circumstances? Especially in the context of sports, this must be considered an advantage. With obesity levels at an all-time high, shouldn’t we welcome any factors that increase people’s interest in physical activity? It is true that survivorship bias can be a key source of motivation. Nevertheless, a number of dangerous consequences for people’s decision-making must not be underestimated. They could neglect reasons for failure, take big risks, and not know when to give up. (虽然生存偏差的证据很多，但你可能会质疑它的负面影响。当然，榜样可以成为强大的激励因素，激励普通人超越自我，培养内在的力量和纪律，并在逆境中坚持不懈。特别是在体育运动中，这必须被视为一种优势。随着肥胖水平达到历史最高水平，我们难道不应该欢迎任何能提高人们对体育活动兴趣的因素吗？确实，生存偏差可能是动机的一个关键来源。然而，不能低估对人们决策的一些危险后果。他们可能会忽视失败的原因，冒很大的风险，不知道什么时候该放弃。)”可知，该段主要探讨了幸存者偏差的利弊。故选A项。 【35题详解】 推断判断题。根据最后一段“Keeping a sense of perspective is essential for benefiting from the positive motivational aspects of having role models, while managing the dangers associated with more serious forms of survivorship bias (保持正确的视角对于从拥有榜样的积极激励作用中获益至关重要，同时也要管理与更严重形式的幸存者偏差相关的危险。)”可知，为了避免幸存者偏差带来的负面影响，作者建议人们认清现实，在向榜样学习时保持理智。故选D项。 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。 I run a lot of writing workshops in secondary schools and what I often see is this: teenagers in class just look at the blank page and freeze. Even when I assure them they can’t get it wrong in creative writing, they still pause and feel painful, looking to me for clear and definite instructions. This behavior results from their training to mimic (模仿). ___36___ In time, they are terrified of getting things wrong and risking failure. Creativity is no longer advocated and is even viewed as a soft skill, or even a weakness. However, creativity is highly valued by employers. According to The Conversation, creativity has been the number-one skill demanded by 20 million job ads on LinkedIn for two years in a row. ___37___ Due to limited educational resources and assessment pressures, teenagers’ thinking becomes increasingly narrow, leaving them afraid to explore other possibilities. ___38___ It’s just an ability to make new connections and follow where they go. Actually, creativity requires qualities available to us all: courage, observation, curiosity, flexibility and perseverance. So how do we help teenagers be hopeful and brave? Firstly, we need to avoid the idea that their entire futures depend on this very assignment or that decision. ___39___ There is no right way to live a life. Secondly, let’s encourage inquiry. Children are naturally curious, but this curiosity often fades as they grow older, although it still exists within them. Just because they lack answers doesn’t mean they shouldn’t ask questions; rather, they should ask even more. ___40___ Young people need reminding that their stories haven’t been written. They need opportunities to try new things. They need permission to keep asking “what else is possible?” because anything is. A. But in schools, it is different. B. Being creative isn’t a magical skill. C. It allows us to understand their feelings better. D. They know it is a safe way to get good grades. E. The main problem is how to keep those creative juices flowing. F. Life is long enough to try many things, and to change directions. G. The universe is held together with unanswered questions and endless possibilities. 【答案】36. D 37. A 38. B 39. F 40. G 【解析】 【导语】本文是说明文。文章主要讨论了青少年创造力缺失的问题，分析了其背后的原因，并提出了如何帮助青少年培养创造力的建议。 【36题详解】 根据前文“I run a lot of writing workshops in secondary schools and what I often see is this: teenagers in class just look at the blank page and freeze. Even when I assure them they can’t get it wrong in creative writing, they still pause and feel painful, looking to me for clear and definite instructions. This behavior results from their training to mimic (模仿). (我在中学举办了很多写作研讨会，我经常看到这样的情况：青少年在课堂上只是看着空白页，然后僵住了。即使我向他们保证，他们在创意写作中不会出错，他们仍然会停下来，感到痛苦，向我寻求清晰明确的指导。这种行为源于它们的模仿训练。)”可知，D项“They know it is a safe way to get good grades. (他们知道这是获得好成绩的安全方法)”是对前文行为的进一步解释。故选D项。 【37题详解】 根据前文“However, creativity is highly valued by employers. According to The Conversation, creativity has been the number-one skill demanded by 20 million job ads on LinkedIn for two years in a row. (然而，创造力受到雇主的高度重视。据The Conversation网站报道，连续两年，在领英(LinkedIn)上的2000万个招聘广告中，创造力一直是最需要的技能。)”以及后文“Due to limited educational resources and assessment pressures, teenagers’ thinking becomes increasingly narrow, leaving them afraid to explore other possibilities. (由于有限的教育资源和考核压力，青少年的思维变得越来越狭隘，使他们不敢探索其他的可能性。)”可知前文讲述，工作中需要有创造力，后文讲述由于有限的教育资源和考核压力，青少年的思维变得越来越狭隘，所以前后文是转折关系，A项“But in schools, it is different. (但在学校，情况就不同了。)”符合文意，和前文构成转折关系，引出后文。故选A项。 【38题详解】 分析设空，位于段首，应是本段的中心句，根据后文“It’s just an ability to make new connections and follow where they go. Actually, creativity requires qualities available to us all: courage, observation, curiosity, flexibility and perseverance. (这只是一种建立新关系并跟随他们前进的能力。实际上，创造力需要我们所有人都具备的品质：勇气、观察力、好奇心、灵活性和毅力。)”可知，本段在介绍什么是创造力，所以B项“Being creative isn’t a magical skill. (创造力并不是一种神奇的技能。)”符合本段主题，为本段中心句。故选B项。 【39题详解】 根据前文“So how do we help teenagers be hopeful and brave? Firstly, we need to avoid the idea that their entire futures depend on this very assignment or that decision. (那么我们如何帮助青少年充满希望和勇敢呢?首先，我们需要避免这样的想法，即他们的整个未来取决于这个任务或那个决定。)”以及后文“There is no right way to live a life. (没有正确的生活方式。)”可知，此处在讲述，没有特定的方法帮助青少年充满希望和勇敢，所以F项“Life is long enough to try many things, and to change directions. (生命足够长，可以尝试很多事情，也可以改变方向。)”承接上文，下文则是对本句的进一步解释。故选F项。 【40题详解】 空处位于段尾，是对前文的总结，根据前文“Secondly, let’s encourage inquiry. Children are naturally curious, but this curiosity often fades as they grow older, although it still exists within them. Just because they lack answers doesn’t mean they shouldn’t ask questions; rather, they should ask even more. (其次，让我们鼓励询问。孩子们天生好奇，但这种好奇心往往随着年龄的增长而消失，尽管它仍然存在于他们心中。仅仅因为他们没有答案并不意味着他们不应该问问题；相反，他们应该要求更多。)”可知，此处讲述鼓励孩子的好奇心，所以G项“The universe is held together with unanswered questions and endless possibilities. (宇宙是由未解之谜和无限可能性组成的。)”符合此处主题，是对前文的总结。故选G项。 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 For the past 18 years, my daughter has been around me all the time.

The invitation came from Mr Thompson, the debate club advisor and a respected English teacher known for his persuasive speaking skills and his ability to inspire students. Up to that point, I had always been the quiet type, more comfortable expressing myself through writing rather than speaking. My essays received high praise for their clarity and style, and it was my written work that caught Mr Thompson’s attention. “You have a knack for structuring arguments in your essays,” he told me one afternoon as I was leaving class. “I believe you can bring those skills into a debate setting. Why not give it a try?” Despite his encouraging words, the idea of speaking publicly was challenging. I had always avoided any form of public presentation, troubled by a fear of stumbling over words and facing the judgmental stares of an audience. However, Mr Thompson did not give up easily. He assured me that the debate club was a supportive environment where I could grow at my own pace. Unwillingly, I agreed to attend a few sessions. The first few meetings were as challenging as I had feared. I struggled to find my voice, my arguments sounded weaker when spoken than they did on paper. Each session ended with me vowing never to return. As time passed from weeks to months, I noticed a shift in my approach. The weekly debate topics forced me to engage with a wide array of subjects, from environmental policy to technological ethics, pushing me to not only form opinions but also express them confidently in front of an audience. The club members, some of whom were experienced debaters, provided constructive feedback. 注意： （1）续写词数应为150个左右； （2）请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 A significant turning point came during one of our inter-school competitions. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ As the school year ended and the final debate approached, I was no longer the reluctant participant but one of the club’s most enthusiastic members. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: A significant turning point came during one of our inter-school competitions. It was held at a large auditorium filled with students and faculty from various schools. As my turn approached, the familiar nerves threatened to overwhelm me. However, as I stepped onto the stage, all the practice and encouragement from Mr Thompson and my peers seemed to turn into a moment of clarity. I delivered my arguments with a newfound belief, responding to counterpoints with a calmness I had never felt before. The applause that followed was not just for my performance but for the barriers I had overcome. As the school year ended and the final debate approached, I was no longer the reluctant participant but one of the club’s most enthusiastic members. The topic was complex, involving the ethical implications of artificial intelligence in modern warfare — a subject requiring deep understanding and sharp wit. I engaged vigorously, with my points well-received by the judges and audience alike. When the results were announced and our team was declared the winner, a sense of achievement washed over me. I not only contributed significantly to our victory but also came to value the art of debate. 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述了作者在Hillcrest高中二年级时意外被邀请加入辩论俱乐部的经历。起初，作者由于害怕公众演讲而犹豫不决，但在辩论俱乐部的支持性环境中逐渐成长，并最终在一次校际比赛中取得突破，变得自信，并在学年结束时成为了俱乐部中最热情的成员之一。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①第一段首句“在我们校际比赛中的一个关键时刻到来了。”表明，作者在一次校际比赛中经历了一个重要的转折点，这个转折点标志着作者在辩论中的成长和自信的建立。 ②第二段首句“随着学年结束和最后的辩论临近，我不再是那个不情愿的参与者，而是成为了俱乐部中最热情的成员之一。”表明，随着学年结束和最后一场辩论的临近，作者不再是一个不情愿的参与者，而是变成了俱乐部中最热情的成员之一，并在辩论中取得了显著成就。 2. 续写线索：校际比赛中转折点——建立自信——学年结束时的辩论——成为热情成员——取得胜利 3. 词汇激活： 行为类： ①表达：deliver/present/articulate ②克服：overcome/surpass/defeat ③充满：filled with/full of 情绪类： ①自信：belief/confidence/conviction ②紧张：nerves/ anxiety 【点睛】【高级句型1】I delivered my arguments with a newfound belief, responding to counterpoints with a calmness I had never felt before.（运用现在分词作伴随状语，省略关系代词的定语从句） 【高级句型2】The applause that followed was not just for my performance but for the barriers I had overcome.（运用that引导限制性定语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
