B Do you know that the human brain doesn’t reach full maturity (成熟) until people are in their mid-20s? Brains develop our emotions first and our capacity for reasoning second. Before the age of about 25, the brain relies heavily on the limbic system (大脑边缘系统), which is responsible for emotional responses, while the logical, decision-making part (known as the prefrontal cortex) is still in the process of developing. It’s not that the prefrontal cortex (前额皮质) doesn’t function at all for the first 25 years of life — rather, that it’s a work in progress. To understand how the mind works, it can be useful to know the roles that these two parts of the brain play. The limbic system processes sensory information — everything you see, smell, touch, taste, hear. When you sense danger, this translates to fear and will likely lead to action. It’s also the part of the brain involved in seeking out rewards and new experiences, which might be found through spending time with friends or doing exciting activities. Meanwhile, some of the important roles of the prefrontal cortex are to plan ahead, control impulsive (易冲动的) behaviours, and drive social interaction and self-awareness. It might be helpful to think of the limbic system as the accelerator and the prefrontal cortex as the brakes. Having a fully functioning accelerator when your brakes don’t quite work yet might seem like a recipe for disaster — and sometimes it can be. But your brain is evolving in this way for a good reason: to allow you to adapt to your environment. Scientists call this plasticity (可塑性). This special quality is what makes the teen years the best time to keep your options open, learn new skills, and to prepare for the future. In evolutionary terms, it’s extremely beneficial, but can also come with some challenges. Understanding more about the inner workings of the brain at different life stages can help you to better respond, communicate, and seek support when it’s needed. Plus, it can teach you to be nicer to yourself and let go of mistakes. It’s worth remembering that not everything you do is a fully conscious decision — some of it is heavily influenced by the way your developing brain works. 4. What is the function of the first paragraph? A. To set the background. B. To present a discovery. C. To introduce the topic. D. To express the purpose. 5. What is more likely to occur in teenagers and young adults? A. Higher levels of self-control. B. Afore frequent impulsive behaviors. C. More cautious risk assessment. D. Stronger long-term planning abilities. 6. Which of the following can you infer from the passage? A. The prefrontal cortex doesn’t function for the first 25 years. B. The limbic system develops later than the prefrontal cortex. C. Sensory information is closely related to the prefrontal cortex. D. Immature decisions are acceptable during developmental years. 7. What is mainly talked about in the last paragraph? A. Benefits of delayed brain maturation. B. Biological basis of adolescent risk-taking. C. Emotional Functions of the limbic system. D. Value of understanding brain development. C For decades, scientists hypothesized that cognitively demanding tasks, such as writing or solving math problems, require more energy than easier tasks like scrolling short videos on the phone or looking out of the window. However, recent research proves the view wrong. Our brains perform massively complex and metabolically costly computations all day long. “Whether you’ re engaged in a cognitively demanding task at work, or you’ re staring off into space, your brain is using roughly the same amount of energy,” says neuroscientist Todd Braver of Washington University in St. Louis. In fact, what feels more challenging is when a task requires the brain to go against its usual habits. Cognitively demanding work often requires the coordination (协作) of many different brain regions in novel patterns, while silencing circuits that frequently fire together. Studies have found that pushing against our brain’s habits triggers an emotional response, making us feel uncomfortable. “It’s aversive, and it just feels bad,” says Michael Inzlicht, a psychologist from the University of Toronto. But he points out that emotional responses are subjective: They are interpretations of sensations in our bodies and brains. And we can influence how much we pay attention to these sensations and even how we interpret them. We often overestimate the struggle and pain required to complete cognitive tasks. This initial overestimation can lead us to procrastinate, or even avoid the task altogether. Studies suggest that if we can get past that initial hurdle of starting a task, then thinking becomes easier. One way to do that is to pay attention to the benefits instead of the efforts required. In a study published in the journal Science in 2020, Andrew Westbrook, a neuroscientist at Rutgers University, and his colleagues gave participants the choice of solving an easy memory puzzle for a small amount of money or a much harder puzzle for more money. The options were displayed on a screen, and participants’ eye movements were tracked as they decided which puzzle to attempt. When people spent more time looking at the reward for the challenging puzzle, they were more likely to choose it. If our mind’s eye, or our attentional focus, is on the benefits of an option, over time we’ re more likely to choose to do hard things. Performing complex mental tasks will also be less painful if the exertion of mental effort is habitized. When we don’t have to make a decision to focus every day, we will save ourselves considering the costs or consequences. To make cognitively demanding tasks a habit, try to do them every day at the same time and in the same place. Add a ritual before the work starts, such as turning off the phone and launching an app to block distracting websites. After a few weeks, concentrating deeply won’t just feel easier; it will actually be easier. 8 People may feel certain cognitive task demanding because of ________. A. more brain energy consumption B. the complexity of computations C. the higher level of difficulty D. new coordination of brain parts 9. The author quotes the 2020 study mainly to ________ . A. support a solution B. present a case C. analyze the causes D. challenge an assumption 10. What can be inferred from the passage? A Overestimation promotes efficiency. B. Personal perception determines motivation. C. Focusing on rewards enhances performance. D. Brain counteraction triggers positive emotions. 11. Which of the following can make mental work feel easier? A. Receiving continuous support when feeling down. B. Seeking professional help when meeting a deadline. C. Reading thick literary classics for twenty minutes daily. D. Breaking down a challenging project into smaller tasks. D Imagining a human being without historical sense is scary. The thought of living exclusively in a present moment is scary. Scarier still is the thought of an entire generation, not to mention society, operating with a lack of a sense of history. And yet that is exactly the situation in which we find ourselves today. The people and events of history may be rooted in the past, but how we talk about those things, what we write about them, and how we teach them—in other words, how we practise history as the record of human experience—tell us a lot about who we are and what we value right now. Thinking of ourselves as a chapter in an as-yet unwritten history book, on the other hand, is likely to force deeper self-reflection: Whose stories will we stand up for? What values will we defend? What models will we offer following generations? In an era of environmental change, rising inequality and great shifts in the international political context, we need to understand how our institutions have developed. History gives us power. No other subject helps us to understand so comprehensively what it is to be human. The implications of ignorance of what have happened are incredible, but the ignorance itself isn’t entirely surprising given the lowered status of history in most schools. The discipline of history has become sidelined (边缘化). “History fights for its place in the curriculum with geography,” Dr. Bain observed, “but its attention to time, place and context is what makes it really distinct.” In other words, history doesn’t simply tell us how to be good citizens: It equips us with the knowledge we need to comprehend our world clearly, and the ability to analyze it accurately. Clearly, in an age of “fake news”, engaged citizens need to be culturally literate, critical thinkers. There is no better subject than history to develop an appreciation of context and an ability to look for evidence. We should expect a logical history curriculum for our children. If it were common to hear graduates claim that they’d never learned to add, subtract, multiply and divide, there would be a severe protest. So should there be now. 12. What is the situation the author mentioned in paragraph 1? A. The fear of the past. B. The ignorance of history. C. The exclusion of the present. D. The dissatisfaction of society. 13. What does the author mainly stress in paragraph 2? A. Consequences of overlooking history. B. Significance of mastering all subjects. C. Insights from history for today and tomorrow. D. Resolutions of the current international issues. 14. Which one of the following ideas might Dr. Bain agree with? A. Critical thinking is key to studying history well. B. Schools should enhance the status of history curriculum. C. Ignorance of history is not as terrible as expected in schools. D. Geography proves more meaningful and practical than history. 15. What does the underlined sentence “So should there be now.” mean? A. The historical sense can help us differentiate the news. B. People are dissatisfied with graduates’ ability to calculate. C. We should make history curriculum more logical and critical. D. We should pay the same attention to history as to other subjects. 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 Reconnect with Nature Through Writing Whether you’re in the wilderness or a city park, being present with other beings can be deeply rewarding.

However to add insult to injury, Simon’s eyes are extremely sensitive to light, which is more frustrating. While others cheer and run outside on sunny days, Simon can only stay at home or wear his tightly wrapped sun hat. At school, Simon was haunted by a deep sense of inferiority. In class, he never raised his hand, afraid of classmates’ eyes on him. He sat in silence as others participated in discussions and activities effortlessly, while he felt trapped in his own shell of self-doubt. He constantly compared himself to others and always found himself lacking. The weight of his insecurities made every day at school a struggle. However, one’s life isn’t defined by these when faced with a particular set of circumstances. The best thing to do is accept them and act within the context. For Simon, the particular was music, which brought him endless strength. When Simon played the piano, he could feel that every change in tone and rhythm created colorful sounds. The music came alive with soft and loud keys. For a boy with a sharp sense of hearing, these details transformed the performance into an emotionally charged experience. One day in a music class, the whole class were listening to a piano piece while checking the notes in the music textbooks. Simon’s eyes were shining bright as he listened to the different instruments blend together. Suddenly, he frowned his brows. He quickly bent over the music textbook, searched through the lines in his music textbook and then pointed to a certain note. He caught a mistake. He looked in the teacher’s direction, wanting to say something, but then hesitated. He bit his lip and seemed to have made up his mind. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Finally, Simon raised his hand, and the teacher stopped the music. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ After class, Simon was surrounded by his admiring classmates. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 听力答案：1-5 BBACB 6-10 ABCBA 11-15 CAAAB 16-20 ABACB 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2024—2025学年度上学期月考 高三英语 时间：120分钟 满分：150分 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。 例：How much is the shirt?

Brains develop our emotions first and our capacity for reasoning second. Before the age of about 25, the brain relies heavily on the limbic system (大脑边缘系统), which is responsible for emotional responses, while the logical, decision-making part (known as the prefrontal cortex) is still in the process of developing. It’s not that the prefrontal cortex (前额皮质) doesn’t function at all for the first 25 years of life — rather, that it’s a work in progress. To understand how the mind works, it can be useful to know the roles that these two parts of the brain play. The limbic system processes sensory information — everything you see, smell, touch, taste, hear. When you sense danger, this translates to fear and will likely lead to action. It’s also the part of the brain involved in seeking out rewards and new experiences, which might be found through spending time with friends or doing exciting activities. Meanwhile, some of the important roles of the prefrontal cortex are to plan ahead, control impulsive (易冲动的) behaviours, and drive social interaction and self-awareness. It might be helpful to think of the limbic system as the accelerator and the prefrontal cortex as the brakes. Having a fully functioning accelerator when your brakes don’t quite work yet might seem like a recipe for disaster — and sometimes it can be. But your brain is evolving in this way for a good reason: to allow you to adapt to your environment. Scientists call this plasticity (可塑性). This special quality is what makes the teen years the best time to keep your options open, learn new skills, and to prepare for the future. In evolutionary terms, it’s extremely beneficial, but can also come with some challenges. Understanding more about the inner workings of the brain at different life stages can help you to better respond, communicate, and seek support when it’s needed. Plus, it can teach you to be nicer to yourself and let go of mistakes. It’s worth remembering that not everything you do is a fully conscious decision — some of it is heavily influenced by the way your developing brain works. 4.

D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文讲述了人类大脑在20多岁中期才达到完全成熟，大脑首先发展我们的情绪，其次是推理能力。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“Do you know that the human brain doesn’t reach full maturity until people are in their mid-20s?(你知道吗，人类的大脑要到20多岁中期才会完全成熟？)”和下文讲述了大脑的发育过程可知，第一段的作用是引入大脑发育这一话题。故选C。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段“Before the age of about 25, the brain relies heavily on the limbic system, which is responsible for emotional responses, while the logical, decision-making part (known as the prefrontal cortex) is still in the process of developing.(在25岁之前，大脑主要依赖大脑边缘系统，它负责情绪反应，而逻辑、决策部分（称为前额皮质）仍在发育中。)”根据第三段“Meanwhile, some of the important roles of the prefrontal cortex are to plan ahead, control impulsive (易冲动的) behaviours, and drive social interaction and self-awareness.(与此同时，前额叶皮层的一些重要作用是提前计划，控制冲动行为，推动社会互动和自我意识)”可知，在青少年和年轻人中，前额皮质仍在发育中，所以更可能出现冲动的行为。故选B。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第四段“Scientists call this plasticity (可塑性).This special quality is what makes the teen years the best time to keep your options open, learn new skills, and to prepare for the future.(科学家称之为可塑性。这种特殊品质使青少年时期成为保持选择开放、学习新技能和为未来做准备的最佳时机。)”以及最后一段“It’s worth remembering that not everything you do is a fully conscious decision — some of it is heavily influenced by the way your developing brain works.(值得记住的是，并不是你做的每件事都是完全有意识的决定——有些决定很大程度上受到大脑发育方式的影响)” 可知，在发育期间，不成熟的决定是可以接受的。故选D。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章最后一段“Understanding more about the inner workings of the brain at different life stages can help you to better respond, communicate, and seek support when it’s needed. Plus, it can teach you to be nicer to yourself and let go of mistakes. It’s worth remembering that not everything you do is a fully conscious decision — some of it is heavily influenced by the way your developing brain works.(了解大脑在不同生命阶段的内部运作方式可以帮助你更好地回应、沟通和在需要时寻求支持。此外，它还可以教你对自己更好，放下错误。值得记住的是，你所做的并不都是完全有意识的决定——其中一些受到你发育中的大脑工作方式的强烈影响。)”可知，最后一段主要讲述了了解大脑发育的价值。故选D。 C For decades, scientists hypothesized that cognitively demanding tasks, such as writing or solving math problems, require more energy than easier tasks like scrolling short videos on the phone or looking out of the window. However, recent research proves the view wrong. Our brains perform massively complex and metabolically costly computations all day long. “Whether you’ re engaged in a cognitively demanding task at work, or you’ re staring off into space, your brain is using roughly the same amount of energy,” says neuroscientist Todd Braver of Washington University in St. Louis. In fact, what feels more challenging is when a task requires the brain to go against its usual habits. Cognitively demanding work often requires the coordination (协作) of many different brain regions in novel patterns, while silencing circuits that frequently fire together. Studies have found that pushing against our brain’s habits triggers an emotional response, making us feel uncomfortable. “It’s aversive, and it just feels bad,” says Michael Inzlicht, a psychologist from the University of Toronto. But he points out that emotional responses are subjective: They are interpretations of sensations in our bodies and brains. And we can influence how much we pay attention to these sensations and even how we interpret them. We often overestimate the struggle and pain required to complete cognitive tasks. This initial overestimation can lead us to procrastinate, or even avoid the task altogether. Studies suggest that if we can get past that initial hurdle of starting a task, then thinking becomes easier. One way to do that is to pay attention to the benefits instead of the efforts required. In a study published in the journal Science in 2020, Andrew Westbrook, a neuroscientist at Rutgers University, and his colleagues gave participants the choice of solving an easy memory puzzle for a small amount of money or a much harder puzzle for more money. The options were displayed on a screen, and participants’ eye movements were tracked as they decided which puzzle to attempt. When people spent more time looking at the reward for the challenging puzzle, they were more likely to choose it. If our mind’s eye, or our attentional focus, is on the benefits of an option, over time we’ re more likely to choose to do hard things. Performing complex mental tasks will also be less painful if the exertion of mental effort is habitized. When we don’t have to make a decision to focus every day, we will save ourselves considering the costs or consequences. To make cognitively demanding tasks a habit, try to do them every day at the same time and in the same place. Add a ritual before the work starts, such as turning off the phone and launching an app to block distracting websites. After a few weeks, concentrating deeply won’t just feel easier; it will actually be easier. 8. People may feel certain cognitive task demanding because of ________. A. more brain energy consumption B. the complexity of computations C. the higher level of difficulty D. new coordination of brain parts 9. The author quotes the 2020 study mainly to ________ . A. support a solution B. present a case C. analyze the causes D. challenge an assumption 10 What can be inferred from the passage? A. Overestimation promotes efficiency. B. Personal perception determines motivation. C Focusing on rewards enhances performance. D. Brain counteraction triggers positive emotions. 11. Which of the following can make mental work feel easier? A. Receiving continuous support when feeling down. B. Seeking professional help when meeting a deadline. C. Reading thick literary classics for twenty minutes daily. D. Breaking down a challenging project into smaller tasks. 【答案】8. D 9. A 10. B 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了关于认知任务与大脑能量消耗、习惯及注意力之间的关系，以及如何通过改变习惯和提高注意力来更轻松地完成认知任务。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“In fact, what feels more challenging is when a task requires the brain to go against its usual habits. Cognitively demanding work often requires the coordination (协作) of many different brain regions in novel patterns, while silencing circuits that frequently fire together. (事实上，当一项任务要求大脑违背其通常的习惯时，就会感觉更具挑战性。认知要求高的工作往往需要许多不同的大脑区域以新的模式进行协调，同时使经常一起兴奋的神经回路沉默。)”可知，人们可能会觉得某些认知任务要求很高，是因为这些任务需要大脑各部分之间新的协调。故选D项。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。第四段首“Studies suggest that if we can get past that initial hurdle of starting a task, then thinking becomes easier. One way to do that is to pay attention to the benefits instead of the efforts required. (研究表明，如果我们能克服开始一项任务的最初障碍，那么思考就会变得更容易。做到这一点的一种方法是关注收益，而不是需要付出的努力。)”提出解决问题的方案，根据下文“In a study published in the journal Science in 2020, Andrew Westbrook, a neuroscientist at Rutgers University, and his colleagues gave participants the choice of solving an easy memory puzzle for a small amount of money or a much harder puzzle for more money. The options were displayed on a screen, and participants’ eye movements were tracked as they decided which puzzle to attempt. When people spent more time looking at the reward for the challenging puzzle, they were more likely to choose it. If our mind’s eye, or our attentional focus, is on the benefits of an option, over time we’ re more likely to choose to do hard things. (在2020年发表在《科学》杂志上的一项研究中，罗格斯大学的神经科学家安德鲁·韦斯特布鲁克和他的同事让参与者选择解决一个简单的记忆谜题来获得少量的钱，或者解决一个更难的谜题来获得更多的钱。这些选项显示在屏幕上，当参与者决定尝试哪个谜题时，他们的眼球运动被跟踪。当人们花更多时间观察挑战性谜题的奖励时，他们更有可能选择它。如果我们的大脑或注意力集中在一个选择的好处上，随着时间的推移，我们更有可能选择做困难的事情。)”可知，作者引用2020年的这一研究来说明段首提出的解决方案是可行，即关注好处可以促使我们选择去做困难的事情。故选A项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“We often overestimate the struggle and pain required to complete cognitive tasks. This initial overestimation can lead us to procrastinate, or even avoid the task altogether. (我们经常高估完成认知任务所需要经历的困难和痛苦。这种最初的高估会导致我们拖延，甚至完全避免这项任务。)”可推知，个人对认知任务的感知会影响其动力，即个人感知决定动力。故选B项。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Performing complex mental tasks will also be less painful if the exertion of mental effort is habitized. When we don’t have to make a decision to focus every day, we will save ourselves considering the costs or consequences. To make cognitively demanding tasks a habit, try to do them every day at the same time and in the same place. (如果精神努力的付出成为一种习惯，那么执行复杂的脑力任务也不会那么痛苦。当我们不必每天都做出专注的决定时，我们就会省去考虑成本或后果的麻烦。为了让认知要求高的任务成为一种习惯，试着每天在同一时间、同一地点做这些事情。)”可知，让精神工作感觉更容易的方法就是让其成为习惯。故选C项。 D Imagining a human being without historical sense is scary. The thought of living exclusively in a present moment is scary. Scarier still is the thought of an entire generation not to mention society, operating with a lack of a sense of history. And yet that is exactly the situation in which we find ourselves today. The people and events of history may be rooted in the past, but how we talk about those things, what we write about them, and how we teach them—in other words, how we practise history as the record of human experience—tell us a lot about who we are and what we value right now. Thinking of ourselves as a chapter in an as-yet unwritten history book, on the other hand, is likely to force deeper self-reflection: Whose stories will we stand up for? What values will we defend? What models will we offer following generations? In an era of environmental change, rising inequality and great shifts in the international political context, we need to understand how our institutions have developed. History gives us power. No other subject helps us to understand so comprehensively what it is to be human. The implications of ignorance of what have happened are incredible, but the ignorance itself isn’t entirely surprising given the lowered status of history in most schools. The discipline of history has become sidelined (边缘化). “History fights for its place in the curriculum with geography,” Dr. Bain observed, “but its attention to time, place and context is what makes it really distinct.” In other words, history doesn’t simply tell us how to be good citizens: It equips us with the knowledge we need to comprehend our world clearly, and the ability to analyze it accurately. Clearly, in an age of “fake news”, engaged citizens need to be culturally literate, critical thinkers. There is no better subject than history to develop an appreciation of context and an ability to look for evidence. We should expect a logical history curriculum for our children. If it were common to hear graduates claim that they’d never learned to add, subtract, multiply and divide, there would be a severe protest. So should there be now. 12. What is the situation the author mentioned in paragraph 1? A. The fear of the past. B. The ignorance of history. C. The exclusion of the present. D. The dissatisfaction of society. 13. What does the author mainly stress in paragraph 2? A. Consequences of overlooking history. B. Significance of mastering all subjects. C. Insights from history for today and tomorrow. D. Resolutions of the current international issues. 14. Which one of the following ideas might Dr. Bain agree with? A. Critical thinking is key to studying history well. B. Schools should enhance the status of history curriculum. C. Ignorance of history is not as terrible as expected in schools. D. Geography proves more meaningful and practical than history. 15. What does the underlined sentence “So should there be now.” mean? A The historical sense can help us differentiate the news. B. People are dissatisfied with graduates’ ability to calculate. C. We should make history curriculum more logical and critical. D. We should pay the same attention to history as to other subjects. 【答案】12. B 13. C 14. B 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。讨论了在现代社会发展中，培养历史感的重要性，以及历史教育的重要意义。文章呼吁将历史教育纳入更加合理的课程体系中，历史感的建立有助于培养学生的批判性思维以及理解世界的能力。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Imagining a human being without historical sense is scary. The thought of living exclusively in a present moment is scary. Scarier still is the thought of an entire generation, not to mention society, operating with a lack of a sense of history. (想象一个没有历史感的人是可怕的。只活在当下的想法是可怕的。更可怕的是，整整一代人，更不用说整个社会，在缺乏历史感的情况下运作。)”可知，作者在第一段提到了人们对历史的无知。故选B。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段“The people and events of history may be rooted in the past, but how we talk about those things, what we write about them, and how we teach them—in other words, how we practise history as the record of human experience—tell us a lot about who we are and what we value right now. Thinking of ourselves as a chapter in an as-yet unwritten history book, on the other hand, is likely to force deeper self-reflection (历史上的人物和事件可能植根于过去，但我们如何谈论这些事情，我们如何写它们，以及我们如何教授它们——换句话说，我们如何将历史作为人类经历的记录来实践——告诉我们很多关于我们是谁以及我们现在看重什么。另一方面，把自己想象成一本尚未书写的历史书中的一个章节，可能会迫使我们进行更深层次的自我反思)”以及“In an era of environmental change, rising inequality and great shifts in the international political context, we need to understand how our institutions have developed. History gives us power. No other subject helps us to understand so comprehensively what it is to be human. (在一个环境变化、不平等加剧、国际政治环境发生巨大变化的时代，我们需要了解我们的制度是如何发展起来的。历史赋予我们力量。没有其他学科能如此全面地帮助我们理解什么是人类。)”可知，作者在第二段主要强调了历史对今天和明天的洞见。故选C。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段“The discipline of history has become sidelined (边缘化). “History fights for its place in the curriculum with geography,” Dr. Bain observed, “but its attention to time, place and context is what makes it really distinct.” In other words, history doesn’t simply tell us how to be good citizens: It equips us with the knowledge we need to comprehend our world clearly, and the ability to analyze it accurately.(历史学科已经靠边站了。“历史与地理在课程中争夺自己的位置，”贝恩博士说，“但它对时间、地点和背景的关注使它真正与众不同。”换句话说，历史不仅仅告诉我们如何成为好公民：它还让我们具备了清晰理解世界所需的知识，以及准确分析世界的能力)”可知，历史是如此的重要，学校应该提高历史课程的地位。故选B。 【15题详解】 词义猜测题。根据文章最后一段“There is no better subject than history to develop an appreciation of context and an ability to look for evidence. We should expect a logical history curriculum for our children. If it were common to hear graduates claim that they’d never learned to add, subtract, multiply and divide, there would be a severe protest. (没有比历史更适合培养对背景的鉴赏能力和寻找证据的能力了。我们应该为我们的孩子准备一个合乎逻辑的历史课程。如果经常听到毕业生声称他们从未学过加减乘除，那一定会引起强烈的抗议)”可知，没有比历史更适合培养对背景的鉴赏能力和寻找证据的能力了，我们应该重视历史学科，应该和数学等其它学科一样对待。划线处和D项：We should pay the same attention to history as to other subjects.(我们对待历史应该像对待其他学科一样重视)合乎题意。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 Reconnect with Nature Through Writing Whether you’re in the wilderness or a city park, being present with other beings can be deeply rewarding.

However, to add insult to injury, Simon’s eyes are extremely sensitive to light, which is more frustrating. While others cheer and run outside on sunny days, Simon can only stay at home or wear his tightly wrapped sun hat. At school, Simon was haunted by a deep sense of inferiority. In class, he never raised his hand, afraid of classmates’ eyes on him. He sat in silence as others participated in discussions and activities effortlessly, while he felt trapped in his own shell of self-doubt. He constantly compared himself to others and always found himself lacking. The weight of his insecurities made every day at school a struggle. However, one’s life isn’t defined by these when faced with a particular set of circumstances. The best thing to do is accept them and act within the context. For Simon, the particular was music, which brought him endless strength. When Simon played the piano, he could feel that every change in tone and rhythm created colorful sounds. The music came alive with soft and loud keys. For a boy with a sharp sense of hearing, these details transformed the performance into an emotionally charged experience. One day in a music class, the whole class were listening to a piano piece while checking the notes in the music textbooks. Simon’s eyes were shining bright as he listened to the different instruments blend together. Suddenly, he frowned his brows. He quickly bent over the music textbook, searched through the lines in his music textbook and then pointed to a certain note. He caught a mistake. He looked in the teacher’s direction, wanting to say something, but then hesitated. He bit his lip and seemed to have made up his mind. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Finally, Simon raised his hand, and the teacher stopped the music. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ After class, Simon was surrounded by his admiring classmates. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Finally, Simon raised his hand, and the teacher stopped the music. “Yes, Simon?” the teacher asked, surprised by his sudden action. Simon took a deep breath and said, “I think there’s a mistake in the music. The note played doesn’t match the one in the textbook.” The teacher, intrigued, replayed the section and checked the textbook. To everyone’s surprise, Simon was right. The teacher praised Simon for his keen sense of hearing and encouraged him to share more in class. Simon felt a wave of pride wash over him, realizing that his unique ability was valuable. After class, Simon was surrounded by his admiring classmates. They were amazed by his musical talent and began asking him questions about music. For the first time, Simon felt included and appreciated. His classmates’ admiration boosted his confidence, and he started to participate more in class. Simon realized that his differences made him special, and he no longer felt inferior. Music had not only given him strength but also a voice, and he was ready to use it. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了Simon因视力差和对光敏感而在学校倍感自卑。然而，音乐成为了他的慰藉，让他在琴键上找到了力量。一次音乐课上，Simon勇敢指出了乐谱中的错误，尽管犹豫，但他最终选择挺身而出。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“最后，西蒙举起了手，老师停止了音乐。”可知，第一段可描写Simon勇敢的指出错误获得老师的表扬。 ②由第二段首句内容“下课后，西蒙被仰慕他的同学围了起来。”可知，第二段可描写同学的仰慕给了西蒙自信以及西蒙之后的改变。 2. 续写线索：提出错误——老师检查——表扬——同学仰慕——变得自信——感悟。 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①深呼吸：take a deep breath/breath deeply ②鼓励：encourage/motivate ③参与：participate/engage in 情绪类 ①惊讶的：surprised/astonished ②感兴趣的：intrigued/interested 【点睛】[高分句型1]Simon felt a wave of pride wash over him, realizing that his unique ability was valuable.(that引导的宾语从句) [高分句型2]Simon realized that his differences made him special, and he no longer felt inferior.(that引导的宾语从句) 听力答案：1-5 BBACB 6-10 ABCBA 11-15 CAAAB 16-20 ABACB 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
