Nevertheless, some uncertainty exists regarding which items are recyclable and which are not. As technology progresses, an increasing number of items have become recyclable. COFFEE CAPSULES On average, Australians are using more than three million coffee capsules per day, and about 1.5million households have automatic coffee machines. While the capsules are disastrous for the environment, they can still be recycled. Nespresso offers a free return program and has drop-off locations, allowing you to bring the capsules to Nespresso stores for disposal (处理). LIGHT BULBS Instead of discarding light bulbs in the trash, some local governments run recycling centers, where you can place such items. If you regularly recycle household glass, kindly remember to wash the glass and remove any lids beforehand. PIZZA BOXES Normally pizza boxes don’t make it into recycling because they’ re covered in grease (油脂) and leftover bits of cheese. When a pizza box is too oily, it won’t be taken to a recycling processing plant. If possible, remove as much of the leftovers as you can before recycling. If the pizza box can’t be recycled, tear off the lid which can still be recycled. HOUSEHOLD BATTERIES Household batteries can also be recycled. Batteries that do end up in landfills can cause a serious problem to the environment as they can release poisonous chemicals into the soil which are harmful to both humans and animals. Button-cell batteries, which are used in hearing aids and watches, can also be recycled. 1. How does Nespresso help with the coffee capsules? A. By offering good coffee for free. B. By collecting capsules for recycling. C. By exchanging coffee machines regularly. D. By warning people of the harm of coffee capsules. 2. What do people need to do first to recycle pizza boxes? A. Wash them many times. B. Drop off boxes at the pizza shop. C. Take them to the local government. D. Clear the leftovers as much as possible. 3. In which section of a magazine can we read the text? A. Health. B. Entertainment. C. Environment. D. Culture. B My curiosity about body language started with a particular professor from my university. On a brisk morning, as he playfully pointed out my tendency to rub my nose whenever I wove excuses for being late to his lectures, he fascinated me with the gripping notion of “Pinocchio”. Actually, when someone tells a lie, the person’s blood rushes to the nose and the extra blood makes it itchy (发痒的). This little example of non-verbal communication inspired me to become a body language expert. Now, I earn my living by training people in non-verbal communication. Knowing when someone is lying and knowing how to persuade people you’re telling the truth are two of the most important skills you’ll ever learn. I have spent a lot of time studying the ways the human body gives more reliable information than the words we speak. The words say one thing but the body may say something completely different. We know that crossed arms can be seen as either defensive or aggressive but what about facial expressions, postures and gestures? All of these say a lot and can only be understood if you know how to make sense of the signs. Business clients are always in need of my services and I try to improve their confidence by teaching them about body language. I give advice about handshakes, which should always be firm and steady, and I teach the importance of personal space. They may seem like minor matters, but these codes of behaviour can be the key to making or breaking a business deal. My working life gives me a great deal of satisfaction. I feel that I’m providing a public service, but it is a service that has had its downside. Whenever I meet someone new and I tell them what I do for a living, they immediately put their guard up and they’re no longer relaxed. They quite literally freeze in the attempt to hide all the signals that they think I’m reading. It makes life difficult at times, but I consider it a small price to pay for a job I enjoy so much. 4. What is the purpose of mentioning the author’s professor in the first paragraph? A. To show how humorous his professor was. B. To introduce what the concept of “Pinocchio” is. C. To describe how interesting his university life was. D. To explain what encouraged him to pick his career. 5. What can we infer from the second paragraph? A. Crossed arms always indicate defensiveness. B. Understanding body language requires specific skills. C. Spoken words are more trustworthy than body signals. D. Facial expressions, postures, and gestures convey insignificant information. 6. Why do people act in an unusual way after knowing the author’s occupation? A. They believe he is studying them. B. They consider him aggressive. C. They don’t like his service. D. They are rooted in shock. 7. What does the author think of his job? A. Stable but difficult. B. Flexible but demanding. C. Fulfilling but challenging. D. Innovative but fast-paced. C During the 1960s, while researching the volcanic history of Yellowstone National Park, Bob Chris encountered a mystery that, surprisingly, had never bothered anyone before: he was unable to locate the park’s volcano. It had been well-established for a long time that Yellowstone was volcanic in nature — that’s what accounted for all its hot springs and other steamy features. But Chris couldn’t find the Yellowstone volcano anywhere. Most of us, when we talk about volcanoes, only think of the classic cone (圆锥体) shapes of a Fuji or Kilimanjaro, which are created when erupting lava (岩浆) piles up. These can form remarkably quickly. In 1943, a Mexican farmer was surprised to see smoke rising from a small part of his land. In one week he was the confused owner of a cone five hundred feet high. Within two years it had topped out at almost fourteen hundred feet and was more than half a mile across. Altogether there are some ten thousand of these volcanoes on Earth, with a few hundred of them extinct. There is, however, a second less known sort of volcano that doesn’t involve mountain building. These volcanoes are so powerful that they explode in one large crack, leaving a huge hole called a caldera. Yellowstone clearly belonged to this second sort, but Chris couldn’t find the caldera anywhere. Just at this time NASA decided to test some new high-altitude cameras by taking photographs of Yellowstone. A thoughtful official passed on some of the copies to the park authorities on the assumption that they might make a nice enlargement for one of the visitors’ centers. As soon as Christ saw the photos, he realized why he had failed to spot the caldera: almost the whole park —2.2 million acres — was a caldera. The explosion had left a hole more than forty miles across — much too huge to be seen from anywhere at ground level. At some time in the past Yellowstone must have blown up with a violence far beyond the scale of anything known to humans. 8. What confused Chris when he was studying Yellowstone? A. Its steamy features. B. Its geographic diversity. C. The mystery of its history. D. The location of its volcano. 9. What is paragraph 2 mainly about? A. The types of volcanoes. B. The process of lava eruption. C. The impact of volcano forming. D. The experience of a Mexican farmer. 10. What made it difficult for people to find the caldera? A. The caldera’s size. B. NASA’s equipment. C. Visitors’ carelessness. D. Yellowstone’s history. 11. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Yellowstone’s Hidden Treasure. B. The Magical Birth of Yellowstone’s Volcano. C. Yellowstone’s Hidden Caldera Revealed by NASA. D. The Discovery of Yellowstone’s Missing Mountain. D One of the defining characteristics of children is that they play. They run around in circles, crash with things, and jump in puddles — not with any purpose in mind, but simply for the fun of it. And that’s exactly how psychologists define play: as a self-directed, intrinsically (内在地) motivated activity with no purpose outside the activity itself. Play is what we do just for the joy of it. In children, play is seen as normal and natural, and as a powerful way to learn. But as we grow up, we come to see play as unnecessary. We may fault ourselves for playing when we could be getting things done. At best, we see play as reward for a long day’s work, a means to uplift ourselves or a way to relax before diving back into the troubles of our everyday lives. But play isn’t just a way to let off steam and reduce stress. Fitting playtime into your day is important for working productivity. Play is a basic emotional system, essential in both child development and adult creativity. Studies also show that it increases job satisfaction, resourcefulness and innovation. More importantly, play prepares us to tackle the unexpected by broadening the breadth of experiences you have to draw from when meeting new challenges. What separates play from real life is the lack of risks. Play provides a safe environment to learn cognitive (认知的), motor and social skills and to make mistakes without serious consequences. When a soldier on the battlefield tries to avoid enemy fire, it may cause them psychological damage because their life is on the line. But if you do the same movement in a game, you’re probably having a good time. Like other basic drives such as eating, play is pleasurable. But what evolutionary purpose does it serve? The most possible scientific explanation is that play teaches us how to address the unexpected. The world is unpredictable, and to survive, we need to adapt to new situations. Play is a way of experimenting with various combinations to see what works and developing flexible responses to unforeseen events. We’re not born with an understanding of how the world works. Play is how we figure it out. 12. What is the motivation for children to play? A. The pure joy of playing itself. B. Their keen interest in everything. C. Their desire to challenge themselves. D. The working productivity they receive form playing. 13. What do the underlined words “let off steam” in paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Get fresh experience. B. Brave the difficulties. C. Relieve negative emotions. D. Become powerful gradually. 14. What is the evolutionary purpose of play? A. To improve adults’ creativity. B. To prepare us for the unknown future. C. To help with the psychological damage. D. To boost children’s cognitive development. 15. What can we learn about play from this passage? A. Play comes to be the best source of entertainment. B. Play promotes creativity and exploration in us all. C. Play serves little practical purpose in evolution. D. Play benefits personal lives in numerous ways. 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。 Explore Your Own Town When was the last time you truly explored your city?

Losing her grandma felt like losing a part of herself. Swallowed by sadness, Mary was unable to find her motivation or direction in life. The vibrant girl she used to be seemed to have vanished. The only thing that lingered in her mind was what her grandma had told her before she passed: “Even in the darkest times, there’s always a guiding star, like the North Star (北极星), which can always navigate you.” One day, while enjoying a cup of coffee at a local cafe, Mary’s friend Jenny approached her with an exciting idea. “Mary, have you ever thought about stargazing (观星) in the wilderness?” Jenny asked, her eyes shining with excitement. Mary’s eyes widened, and a smile spread across her face. “Stargazing? That sounds incredible! Count me in.” she exclaimed, her voice filled with expectation. The plan was set for a cool evening when the sky would be at its clearest. They began their journey from Mary’s house. As they walked hand in hand, their breath turned into misty clouds in the cool night air. The moon was hidden behind thick clouds, casting a darkness on their path. But instead of feeling scared, they felt a rush of excitement washing over them. The stillness of the night, broken only by the soft whispers of the wind, brought a newfound peace to their mind. Little by little, the city lights faded, and the stars above became increasingly obvious. They couldn’t help but feel amazed by the countless stars that decorated the sky. They decided not to choose the well-known path and wandered deeper into the wilderness. Fireflies (萤火虫) danced gracefully, lighting up the night sky. Absorbed in chats and laughter, they failed to notice when the familiar sights started to disappear, slowly getting swallowed by the tall trees of the forest. 注意： 1．续写词数应为150个左右; 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Suddenly, Mary’s heart pounded violently as she sensed they were completely lost. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Gazing at the North Star again, Mary realized it wasn’t just about escaping the forest. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2024年重庆一中高2026届高二上期半期考试 英语试题卷 英语试题卷共9页。满分150分。考试时间120分钟。 注意事项： 1．答题前，考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号码填写在答题卡上。 2．作答时，务必将答案写在答题卡上，写在本试卷及草稿纸上无效。 3．考试结束后，请将答题卡交回。 第一部分：听力(共两节，满分 20 分) 第一节(共5小题：每小题1分，满分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．What should the man do to save his plant?

By collecting capsules for recycling. C. By exchanging coffee machines regularly. D. By warning people of the harm of coffee capsules. 2. What do people need to do first to recycle pizza boxes? A. Wash them many times. B. Drop off boxes at the pizza shop. C. Take them to the local government. D. Clear the leftovers as much as possible. 3. In which section of a magazine can we read the text? A. Health. B. Entertainment. C. Environment. D. Culture. 【答案】1. B 2. D 3. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是篇说明文。文章主要列举了一些可以回收利用的生活垃圾。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Nespresso offers a free return program and has drop-off locations, allowing you to bring the capsules to Nespresso stores for disposal (处理).(Nespresso咖啡机提供免费退还计划，并设有放置地点，允许您将胶囊带到Nespresso商店进行处理。)”可知，Nespresso通过收集胶囊回收利用来帮助处理咖啡胶囊。故选B。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“If possible, remove as much of the leftovers as you can before recycling.(如果可能的话，在回收之前尽可能多地清理残留的饭菜。)”可知，要回收比萨盒子，首先就要尽可能将盒子上残留的饭菜清理干净。故选D。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“People have been recycling household waste for roughly two decades.(大约二十年来，人们一直在回收生活垃圾。)”、第二段“While the capsules are disastrous for the environment, they can still be recycled.(虽然这些胶囊对环境是灾难性的，但它们仍然可以回收利用。)”、第三段“Instead of discarding light bulbs in the trash, some local governments run recycling centers, where you can place such items.(一些地方政府没有把灯泡扔进垃圾桶，而是开设了回收中心，你可以把这些东西放在那里。)”和最后一段“Batteries that do end up in landfills can cause a serious problem to the environment as they can release poisonous chemicals into the soil which are harmful to both humans and animals.(最终被填埋的电池会对环境造成严重问题，因为它们会向土壤中释放有毒化学物质，对人类和动物都有害。)”可知，文章主要讲述了对一些对环境有害的生活垃圾的回收利用。故选C。 B My curiosity about body language started with a particular professor from my university. On a brisk morning, as he playfully pointed out my tendency to rub my nose whenever I wove excuses for being late to his lectures, he fascinated me with the gripping notion of “Pinocchio”. Actually, when someone tells a lie, the person’s blood rushes to the nose and the extra blood makes it itchy (发痒的). This little example of non-verbal communication inspired me to become a body language expert. Now, I earn my living by training people in non-verbal communication. Knowing when someone is lying and knowing how to persuade people you’re telling the truth are two of the most important skills you’ll ever learn. I have spent a lot of time studying the ways the human body gives more reliable information than the words we speak. The words say one thing but the body may say something completely different. We know that crossed arms can be seen as either defensive or aggressive, but what about facial expressions, postures and gestures? All of these say a lot and can only be understood if you know how to make sense of the signs. Business clients are always in need of my services and I try to improve their confidence by teaching them about body language. I give advice about handshakes, which should always be firm and steady, and I teach the importance of personal space. They may seem like minor matters, but these codes of behaviour can be the key to making or breaking a business deal. My working life gives me a great deal of satisfaction. I feel that I’m providing a public service, but it is a service that has had its downside. Whenever I meet someone new and I tell them what I do for a living, they immediately put their guard up and they’re no longer relaxed. They quite literally freeze in the attempt to hide all the signals that they think I’m reading. It makes life difficult at times, but I consider it a small price to pay for a job I enjoy so much. 4. What is the purpose of mentioning the author’s professor in the first paragraph? A. To show how humorous his professor was. B. To introduce what the concept of “Pinocchio” is. C. To describe how interesting his university life was. D. To explain what encouraged him to pick his career. 5. What can we infer from the second paragraph? A. Crossed arms always indicate defensiveness. B. Understanding body language requires specific skills. C. Spoken words are more trustworthy than body signals. D. Facial expressions, postures, and gestures convey insignificant information. 6. Why do people act in an unusual way after knowing the author’s occupation? A They believe he is studying them. B. They consider him aggressive. C. They don’t like his service. D. They are rooted in shock. 7. What does the author think of his job? A. Stable but difficult. B. Flexible but demanding. C. Fulfilling but challenging. D. Innovative but fast-paced. 【答案】4. D 5. B 6. A 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。作为研究肢体语言的专家，作者论述了肢体语言的重要性，并提到这份特别的工作对自己的影响。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“My curiosity about body language started with a particular professor from my university. On a brisk morning, as he playfully pointed out my tendency to rub my nose whenever I wove excuses for being late to his lectures, he fascinated me with the gripping notion of “Pinocchio”. Actually, when someone tells a lie, the person’s blood rushes to the nose and the extra blood makes it itchy (发痒的). This little example of non-verbal communication inspired me to become a body language expert. Now, I earn my living by training people in non-verbal communication.(我对肢体语言的好奇始于我大学里的一位教授。在一个清爽的早晨，他开玩笑地指出，每当我为他上课迟到编借口时，我就会蹭鼻子。他用“匹诺曹”这个扣人心弦的概念吸引了我。事实上，当一个人说谎时，血液会涌到鼻子上，多余的血液会让鼻子发痒。这个非语言交流的小例子激励我成为一名肢体语言专家。现在，我通过培训人们的非语言沟通来谋生)”可知，作者大学时的一位教授从作者的肢体语言中发现了他在撒谎，这激起了作者研究肢体语言的兴趣。由此推知，作者提到教授是为了解释什么鼓励他选择自己的职业。故选D。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“All of these say a lot and can only be understood if you know how to make sense of the signs.(所有这些都说明了很多，只有你知道如何理解这些符号，你才能理解它们)”及本段介绍了一些体态语表示的内容可知，理解肢体语言需要特定的技能。故选B。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Whenever I meet someone new and I tell them what I do for a living, they immediately put their guard up and they’re no longer relaxed. They quite literally freeze in the attempt to hide all the signals that they think I’m reading.(每当我遇到一个新朋友，我告诉他们我是做什么的，他们就会立刻提高警惕，不再放松。他们真的会愣住，试图隐藏他们认为我在读的所有信号)”可知，接触作者的人听说他的职业后会表现得不自然，是因为他们觉得作者会研究他们。故选A。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“My working life gives me a great deal of satisfaction.(我的工作生活给了我很大的满足)”及“It makes life difficult at times, but I consider it a small price to pay for a job I enjoy so much.(这有时会让生活变得困难，但我认为这是为我喜欢的工作付出的小小代价)”可知，作者的工作让作者很有满足感，但有时候会有挑战。故选C。 C During the 1960s, while researching the volcanic history of Yellowstone National Park, Bob Chris encountered a mystery that, surprisingly, had never bothered anyone before: he was unable to locate the park’s volcano. It had been well-established for a long time that Yellowstone was volcanic in nature — that’s what accounted for all its hot springs and other steamy features. But Chris couldn’t find the Yellowstone volcano anywhere. Most of us, when we talk about volcanoes, only think of the classic cone (圆锥体) shapes of a Fuji or Kilimanjaro, which are created when erupting lava (岩浆) piles up. These can form remarkably quickly. In 1943, a Mexican farmer was surprised to see smoke rising from a small part of his land. In one week he was the confused owner of a cone five hundred feet high. Within two years it had topped out at almost fourteen hundred feet and was more than half a mile across. Altogether there are some ten thousand of these volcanoes on Earth, with a few hundred of them extinct. There is, however, a second less known sort of volcano that doesn’t involve mountain building. These volcanoes are so powerful that they explode in one large crack, leaving a huge hole called a caldera. Yellowstone clearly belonged to this second sort, but Chris couldn’t find the caldera anywhere. Just at this time NASA decided to test some new high-altitude cameras by taking photographs of Yellowstone. A thoughtful official passed on some of the copies to the park authorities on the assumption that they might make a nice enlargement for one of the visitors’ centers. As soon as Christ saw the photos, he realized why he had failed to spot the caldera: almost the whole park —2.2 million acres — was a caldera. The explosion had left a hole more than forty miles across — much too huge to be seen from anywhere at ground level. At some time in the past Yellowstone must have blown up with a violence far beyond the scale of anything known to humans. 8. What confused Chris when he was studying Yellowstone? A. Its steamy features. B. Its geographic diversity. C. The mystery of its history. D. The location of its volcano. 9. What is paragraph 2 mainly about? A. The types of volcanoes. B. The process of lava eruption. C. The impact of volcano forming. D. The experience of a Mexican farmer. 10. What made it difficult for people to find the caldera? A. The caldera’s size. B. NASA’s equipment. C. Visitors’ carelessness. D. Yellowstone’s history. 11. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Yellowstone’s Hidden Treasure. B. The Magical Birth of Yellowstone’s Volcano. C. Yellowstone’s Hidden Caldera Revealed by NASA. D. The Discovery of Yellowstone’s Missing Mountain. 【答案】8. D 9. A 10. A 11. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了二十世纪六十年代Bob Christiansen在研究黄石公园的火山历史时，奇怪地发现到处看不到火山的影子，原来，这儿的火山并不是像我们大部分人想象的那种圆锥体形状的高耸的样子，而是一个巨大的洞，这个洞太大了以至于从地面上的任何地方都看不见。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“During the 1960s, while researching the volcanic history of Yellowstone National Park, Bob Chris encountered a mystery that, surprisingly, had never bothered anyone before: he was unable to locate the park’s volcano. (在20世纪60年代，Bob Christiansen在研究黄石国家公园的火山历史时，遇到了一个以前从未困扰过任何人的谜团：他无法找到公园里的火山。)”可知，Christiansen在研究黄石公园时，火山的位置让他困惑。故选D项。 【9题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段“Most of us, when we talk about volcanoes, only think of the classic cone shapes of a Fuji or Kilimanjaro, which are created when erupting lava piles up. These can form remarkably quickly. In 1943, a Mexican farmer was surprised to see smoke rising from a small part of his land. In one week he was the confused owner of a cone five hundred feet high. Within two years it had topped out at almost fourteen hundred feet and was more than half a mile across. Altogether there are some ten thousand of these volcanoes on Earth, with a few hundred of them extinct. There is, however, a second less known sort of volcano that doesn’t involve mountain building. These volcanoes are so powerful that they explode in one large crack, leaving a huge hole called a caldera. Yellowstone clearly belonged to this second sort, but Chris couldn’t find the caldera anywhere. (当我们谈到火山时，大多数人只会想到富士山或乞力马扎罗山的经典锥形，这是熔岩喷发时堆积起来的。它们的形成速度非常快。1943年，一位墨西哥农民惊讶地发现，他的一小块土地上冒出了烟。不到一个星期，他就成了一个500英尺高的圆锥体。不到两年，它的顶峰已经达到了近1400英尺，直径超过了半英里。地球上总共有大约一万个这样的火山，其中有几百个已经不再喷发了。然而，还有另一种不太为人所知的火山，它与造山活动无关。这些火山非常强大，它们在一个大裂缝中爆炸，留下一个巨大的洞，叫做火山口。黄石公园显然属于第二种类型，但Christiansen在任何地方都找不到火山口)”可知，本段主要讲述了火山的两种类型。故选A项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“As soon as Christ saw the photos, he realized why he had failed to spot the caldera: almost the whole park — 2.2 million acres — was a caldera. The explosion had left a hole more than forty miles across — much too huge to be seen from anywhere at ground level. (Christ一看到照片，就意识到他为什么没能发现火山口：几乎整个公园——220万英亩——都是一个火山口。爆炸留下了一个40多英里宽的洞——太大了，从地面上的任何地方都看不见)”可知，火山口的巨大尺寸使其难以被发现。故选A项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段“Just at this time NASA decided to test some new high-altitude cameras by taking photographs of Yellowstone. A thoughtful official passed on some of the copies to the park authorities on the assumption that they might make a nice enlargement for one of the visitors’ centers. As soon as Christ saw the photos, he realized why he had failed to spot the caldera: almost the whole park—2.2 million acres— was a caldera. The explosion had left a hole more than forty miles across— much too huge to be seen from anywhere at ground level. At some time in the past Yellowstone must have blown up with a violence far beyond the scale of anything known to humans. (就在这个时候，美国宇航局决定通过拍摄黄石公园的照片来测试一些新的高空相机。一位深思熟虑的官员把其中的一些复印件交给了公园管理部门，他认为这些复印件可以用于扩建某个游客中心。Christ一看到照片，就意识到他为什么没能发现火山口：几乎整个公园——220万英亩——都是一个火山口。爆炸留下了一个40多英里宽的洞——太大了，从地面上的任何地方都看不见。在过去的某个时候，黄石公园一定以一种远远超过人类所知的规模的暴力爆炸了)”以及纵观全文可知，本文主要讲述了NASA的高空相机揭示了黄石公园隐藏的火山口，所以C项“Yellowstone’s Hidden Caldera Revealed by NASA (美国国家航空航天局揭示了黄石公园隐藏的火山口)”是本文最好的标题。故选C项。 D One of the defining characteristics of children is that they play. They run around in circles, crash with things, and jump in puddles — not with any purpose in mind, but simply for the fun of it. And that’s exactly how psychologists define play: as a self-directed, intrinsically (内在地) motivated activity with no purpose outside the activity itself. Play is what we do just for the joy of it. In children, play is seen as normal and natural, and as a powerful way to learn. But as we grow up, we come to see play as unnecessary. We may fault ourselves for playing when we could be getting things done. At best, we see play as reward for a long day’s work, a means to uplift ourselves or a way to relax before diving back into the troubles of our everyday lives. But play isn’t just a way to let off steam and reduce stress. Fitting playtime into your day is important for working productivity. Play is a basic emotional system, essential in both child development and adult creativity. Studies also show that it increases job satisfaction, resourcefulness and innovation. More importantly, play prepares us to tackle the unexpected by broadening the breadth of experiences you have to draw from when meeting new challenges. What separates play from real life is the lack of risks. Play provides a safe environment to learn cognitive (认知的), motor and social skills and to make mistakes without serious consequences. When a soldier on the battlefield tries to avoid enemy fire, it may cause them psychological damage because their life is on the line. But if you do the same movement in a game, you’re probably having a good time. Like other basic drives such as eating, play is pleasurable. But what evolutionary purpose does it serve? The most possible scientific explanation is that play teaches us how to address the unexpected. The world is unpredictable, and to survive, we need to adapt to new situations. Play is a way of experimenting with various combinations to see what works and developing flexible responses to unforeseen events. We’re not born with an understanding of how the world works. Play is how we figure it out. 12. What is the motivation for children to play? A. The pure joy of playing itself. B. Their keen interest in everything. C. Their desire to challenge themselves. D. The working productivity they receive form playing. 13. What do the underlined words “let off steam” in paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Get fresh experience. B. Brave the difficulties. C. Relieve negative emotions. D. Become powerful gradually. 14. What is the evolutionary purpose of play? A. To improve adults’ creativity. B. To prepare us for the unknown future. C. To help with the psychological damage. D. To boost children’s cognitive development. 15. What can we learn about play from this passage? A. Play comes to be the best source of entertainment. B. Play promotes creativity and exploration in us all. C. Play serves little practical purpose in evolution. D. Play benefits personal lives in numerous ways. 【答案】12. A 13. C 14. B 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是说明文。研究表明玩耍时间可以让我们更好地准备面对意想不到的事情和解决问题。 12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“One of the defining characteristics of children is that they play. They run around in circles, crash with things, and jump in puddles — not with any purpose in mind, but simply for the fun of it.(孩子们玩耍的动机是什么孩子的一个显著特征是他们喜欢玩耍。他们绕着圈跑，撞到东西，在水坑里跳——没有任何目的，只是为了好玩。)”可知，孩子们玩耍的动机是游戏本身的纯粹乐趣。故选A。 【13题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第四段“But play isn’t just a way to let off steam and reduce stress. (但玩耍不仅仅是一种let off steam和减压的方式。)”可知，and前后并列的意思相近，reduce stress“减少压力”，意思就是relieve negative emotions.表示“缓解负面情绪”。故选C。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“But what evolutionary purpose does it serve?The most possible scientific explanation is that play teaches us how to address the unexpected. The world is unpredictable, and to survive, we need to adapt to new situations. (但是它的进化目的是什么呢？最可能的科学解释是，玩耍教会我们如何应对意外情况。世界是不可预测的，为了生存，我们需要适应新的情况。)”可知，游戏的进化目的让我们为未知的未来做好准备。故选B。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“Fitting playtime into your day is important for working productivity. Play is a basic emotional system, essential in both child development and adult creativity. Studies also show that it increases job satisfaction, resourcefulness and innovation. More importantly, play prepares us to tackle the unexpected by broadening the breadth of experiences you have to draw from when meeting new challenges.(在一天中安排娱乐时间对提高工作效率很重要。游戏是一种基本的情感系统，在儿童发展和成人创造力中都是必不可少的。研究还表明，它能提高工作满意度、智谋和创新能力。更重要的是，当你面对新的挑战时，游戏可以拓宽你的经验，让我们准备好应对意想不到的事情。)”可知，游戏可以通过多种方式有益于个人生活。故选D。 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后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。 Explore Your Own Town When was the last time you truly explored your city?

Start by asking yourself this question: If I had friends coming to town who had never been here before, where would I suggest they go? ____17____. Maybe it’s a historic building you can tour, a nice park that you can hike in, or a new ice cream store you’ve been wanting to try. ____18____ Do some research online and talk to an adult about what sights are within a close drive. Again, try to think about where you’d go if you were traveling to your city. A local museum or zoo might have a new exhibit you haven’t seen since the last time you visited. You can also find out whether any TV shows or movies have been filmed near you and visit the location. Check out sites like movie-locations. com and moviemaps.org .

Swallowed by sadness, Mary was unable to find her motivation or direction in life. The vibrant girl she used to be seemed to have vanished. The only thing that lingered in her mind was what her grandma had told her before she passed: “Even in the darkest times, there’s always a guiding star, like the North Star (北极星), which can always navigate you.” One day, while enjoying a cup of coffee at a local cafe, Mary’s friend Jenny approached her with an exciting idea. “Mary, have you ever thought about stargazing (观星) in the wilderness?” Jenny asked, her eyes shining with excitement. Mary’s eyes widened, and a smile spread across her face. “Stargazing? That sounds incredible! Count me in.” she exclaimed, her voice filled with expectation. The plan was set for a cool evening when the sky would be at its clearest. They began their journey from Mary’s house. As they walked hand in hand, their breath turned into misty clouds in the cool night air. The moon was hidden behind thick clouds, casting a darkness on their path. But instead of feeling scared, they felt a rush of excitement washing over them. The stillness of the night, broken only by the soft whispers of the wind, brought a newfound peace to their mind. Little by little, the city lights faded, and the stars above became increasingly obvious. They couldn’t help but feel amazed by the countless stars that decorated the sky. They decided not to choose the well-known path and wandered deeper into the wilderness. Fireflies (萤火虫) danced gracefully, lighting up the night sky. Absorbed in chats and laughter, they failed to notice when the familiar sights started to disappear, slowly getting swallowed by the tall trees of the forest. 注意： 1．续写词数应为150个左右; 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Suddenly, Mary’s heart pounded violently as she sensed they were completely lost. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Gazing at the North Star again, Mary realized it wasn’t just about escaping the forest. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Suddenly, Mary’s heart pounded violently as she sensed they were completely lost. Anxiety crept in as the towering trees cast long shadows around them. “Jenny,” Mary whispered, her voice shaking slightly, “do you think we took a wrong turn?” Jenny looked around, trying to recall the path they had come through, but everything seemed unfamiliar. Despite the mounting fear, Jenny squeezed Mary’s hand reassuringly, “Don’t worry, Mary. Remember what your grandma said about the guiding star.” Encouraged by her friend’s words, Mary took a deep breath and scanned the sky. The North Star twinkled brightly, standing out among the countless stars. Mary pointed towards it, “Let’s use the North Star to guide us back.” Gazing at the North Star again, Mary realized it wasn’t just about escaping the forest. It symbolized finding her way through the darkness in her life too. As they navigated through the trees, her heart gradually filled with warmth and courage. She whispered a silent thank you to her grandma, believing that she was watching over her. Finally, emerging from the forest, they were greeted by the familiar city lights that reminded Mary of hope and guidance. The adventure not only brought them home safely but also rekindled the light within Mary’s heart, transforming her grief into strength. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开。讲述的是玛丽因为心爱的奶奶去世，而变的消沉，一天她的朋友珍妮约她去野外看星星。玛丽充满期待的答应了，她们在街上走着，渐渐地，城市的灯光暗淡了，头顶上的星星越来越明显。她们沉浸在聊天和欢笑中，没有注意到熟悉的景象开始消失，慢慢地被森林的高大树木所吞没。二人迷路了。 【详解】1. 段落续写 ①由第一段句首内容“突然，玛丽的心剧烈地跳动着，因为她感觉到他们完全迷路了。”可知，第一段可以描写二人发现她们迷路后的心理活动和采取的行动。 ②由第二段句首内容“玛丽再次凝视着北极星，意识到这不仅仅是为了逃离森林。”可知，第二段可以描写她们二人在北极星的指引下走出森林的过程和出来后的感受。 2. 续写线索：意识到迷路—害怕—看到北极星—北极星的指引—走出森林—归来。 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①紧握：squeeze/grip ②深吸了一口气：take a deep breath/gasp a lungful of air ③出现：emerge/appear 情绪类 ①恐惧：fear/ fright ②悲伤：grief/sadness 【点睛】[高分句型1]“Don’t worry, Mary.
