B Cai Lei, former vice-president of JD Group, reveals how amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) diagnosis (诊断) set him on the path to find a cure. Born to a farmer’s family in 1978, Cai has been deeply influenced by his father’s idea that “one has to fight for himself”. Since primary school, he has been getting up before 5 am to run and study English. At 29, Cai became chief tax manager in Vanke Co. In 2011, he joined JD Group, where he led his team to develop the first electronic invoice (发票) in China. Wherever he worked, he always tried his best to create new value. Diagnosed with ALS in 2019, he would have only two to five years to live. ALS is usually caused by the gradual death of motor neurons (神经元), which makes normally easy movements like drinking water, eating, going to the bathroom, and speaking impossible. Finally, patients will completely rely on machines and others’ help to survive. So far, only two medicines are available to treat ALS, but they can at most extend patients’ life for several months without improving their living quality. To develop effective drugs is the only way to save ALS patients. However, the intense effort required, which is unprofitable for so rare an illness, makes it a mission almost impossible. It usually takes 10-15 years to complete the research cycle for a new drug and the cost is $1-3billion. Take Alzheimer’s disease for example. Between 2000 and 2017, investment in new drugs for this more common disease was over $600 billion, and 99.6% of the research on more than 300 drugs failed. Cai decided to take matters into his own hands. He started his own medical technology company, built his own research team, and volunteered to try more than 30 new medicines which all failed. However, he has decided that even if all efforts prove fruitless, he will continue. To shoot the last bullet, he has decided to donate his brain and spinal cord for scientific research. He will not die for nothing. 4. What kind of person is Cai Lei? A. Extremely ambitious and well-mannered. B. Quite reliable and clear-headed. C. Highly motivated and strong-willed. D. Well informed and warm-hearted. 5. What might happen to people diagnosed with ALS? A. Maintaining a normal life by taking medicines. B. Losing the ability to think and speak normally. C. Needing external assistance to survive in the end. D. Dying within months of a confirmed diagnosis. 6. Why is Alzheimer’s disease mentioned in paragraph 4? A. To prove Alzheimer to be a common disease. B. To talk about the severity of Alzheimer. C. To ask for more investment in the research on ALS. D. To explain the difficulty of finding a cure for ALS. 7. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. A man who never gives in. B. Joint efforts to fight ALS. C. ASL, a rare deadly disease. D. Suffering of a man with ALS. C Chinese hit video game Black Myth: Wukong has taken the gaming world by storm, selling more than 10 million copies across all platforms in just three days after its release. The game is inspired by the classic Chinese novel Journey to the West. In it, players take the role of the Destined One, setting off for adventures to collect six Relics that once belonged to Sun Wukong and challenge the Celestial Court. Drawing on a rich heritage of nearly 1,000 years of Chinese culture, the game’s storyline and characters have proven difficult to understand for many players from western countries. For instance, a player shared on social media that their lack of familiarity with Journey to the West led to them consistently missing hidden treasures, finally resulting in repeated failures during a boss fight in Chapter 2. Meanwhile, some players feel overwhelmed by names like Erlang Shen and Lingxuzi, which can be difficult to pronounce for those unfamiliar with Chinese phonetics. To bridge these cultural divides, one enthusiast wrote a 200-page outline detailing Sun Wukong’s abilities across all 100 chapters of Journey to the West. Many others immersed themselves in the epic by checking out forums, TV shows, anime, manga and online encyclopedias. Through this process, western players have not only refined their gaming skills but also developed a deeper appreciation for Sun Wukong and Journey to the West. “Although many people might compare Sun Wukong to Western superheroes, I believe they are different,” said Patrick from the US. “Sun Wukong has a carefree and independent nature, unlimited by the need to set a good example for others like Spider-Man, who by contrast follows principles like ‘with great power comes great responsibility’.” Journey to the West offers a comprehensive narrative that covers a very dangerous journey, numerous encounters and the exploration of various cultures, making it a rich source for diverse storytelling types and cultural backgrounds. Perhaps these are some of the key reasons why Journey to the West has been translated into over a dozen languages, with more than 60 versions available worldwide. 8. What is the Destined One in Paragraph 2? A. The nickname of Sun Wukong in the game. B. The fictional main character of this hit game. C. One of the adventures to collect the six Relics. D One of the six Relics belonging to the Celestial Court. 9. What does the underlined word “bridge” in paragraph 4 most likely mean? A. Get rid of. B. Take control of. C. Keep track of D. Take advantage of. 10. What can be learned about the game from the passage? A. It has gradually gained popularity among players worldwide. B. Its original character Sun Wukong is similar to western superheroes. C. It has been translated into many languages with numerous versions available worldwide. D. It is rather challenging for western players due to their unfamiliarity with Chinese culture. 11. What does the text mainly talk about? A. A Chinese hit video game and its original novel Journey to the West. B. Reasons behind the success of Chinese video game Black Myth: Wukong. C. The cultural impact and western players’ reception of a Chinese hit video game. D. Challenges and benefits Black Myth: Wukong brings to the spread of Chinese culture. D In 1910, the Los Angeles Times ran a story about a boy who was charged with opening a valve on a water pump powered by a steam engine to release the built-up pressure. His whole job consisted of staring at these machines all day, which was incredibly boring. The “lazy” boy then invented a release for the pump to run just as it should and won his freedom. The first automatic steam engine was born. This story may be fictional, but the boy’s behavior reflects a deeper truth. When we are feeling lazy, we often search for an easier way, trying to update the process and save time and effort. In other words, laziness can drive innovation. In recent years, some psychologists and business leaders have wised up to this insight, changing our perspective of what laziness really means. Both Bill Gates and Walter Chrysler have been credited with a quote: “I always choose a lazy person to do a hard job because a lazy person will find an easy way to do it.” Our brains are born for laziness. Compared with our ancestors who had to conserve energy to compete for food, flee from predators, and fight, we now don’t take survival as a daily issue. It seems natural that we would choose to be “lazier”, but the opposite has occurred. According to the U. S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, Americans sleep less and work more than we used to; productivity per worker has gone up 400 percent since 1950. Our culture teaches us that our worth depends on how industrious we are, so we work even harder to produce even more. But there’s one big paradox, sad but true: The harder we work, the less productive we are. When demand increases, we tend to push harder. Yet the trouble is that, without any refresh and recharge, we are less efficient, make more mistakes, and get less engaged with what we’ re doing. Therefore, how can we make our labor more meaningful and our lives more fulfilling? Current research in psychology and neuroscience points to a new understanding of the value of the wandering mind. Taking breaks and allowing your thoughts to drift can help your brain retain information, refocus, and gain fresh perspective. Here’s the core problem: When the time finally comes to put our feet up, we often don’t know how. We have little training in how to be idle. But at least give it a shot. Maybe this week, notice some downtime in your day, some white space in your calendar. Instead of filling the space with more work, just sit in the sofa. and be, in the words of poet Mary Oliver, “idle and blessed.” 12. The author tells the story in paragraph I to prove ________. A. the kid needs punishing B. boredom enhances productivity C. creativity contributes to laziness D. laziness inspires new ideas 13 How did the author support his opinion in the third paragraph? A. By listing some numbers of being lazy. B. By quoting some great figures’ words. C. By making a comparison between two great figures. D. By giving examples of how to be creative. 14. What can we infer from paragraph 4? A. People nowadays don’t have to face poverty. B. Modern society honors creativity. C. Americans lives a poorer life than before. D. Ancestors consider industry as a value. 15. Which of the following idea will the author probably agree with? A. Working 24 — 7 with a tight schedule. B. Taking three part-time jobs to fill weekends. C. Watching a stand-up comedy after a busy weekday. D. Attending a formal dinner with business purpose. 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。 How to Write Any High School Essay Writing an essay is an important basic skill that you will need to succeed in high school, college, and beyond.

It belonged to Ranjan’s uncle. Overnight, Ranjan had become a prince among us boys. We surrounded him the next day, wanting to learn more details. Ranjan’s uncle had come from Bombay, riding the new motorbike. Every afternoon when he slept, we would gather around the blue bike, admiring it. Sometimes Ranjan managed to take out his uncle's red helmet (头盔). We would wear it in turn and sit on the bike, imagining starting it and being off. In the evenings, we watched Ranjan go out for a ride with his uncle and our eyes were filled with envy (羡慕). One Monday morning I was struggling with the homework when Ranjan whispered in my ear, “I am learning to ride it, Tony.” “What?” I doubted. “I will show you this afternoon. ”Ranjan sounded confident. Ranjan, like the rest of us, knew everything about the motorbike, every part of it. But to ride it was another story. Like all grown-ups, his uncle had this belief that fourteen-year-olds could not ride things like motorbikes. It is unfair really. The big moment came at last. After lunch, I came to meet Ranjan, who appeared at the gate seconds later, wearing the red helmet. Noiselessly, he wheeled the bike out of the gate. He looked around carefully, pushed it down the road, and started it. “Get on, boy!”I felt excited as I climbed onto the back seat, but still could not believe that he could ride it. “Ready?”Ranjan shouted. “Yeah. What are you waiting for?” We were off. The road was nearly empty and we were moving smoothly. I had a look at the speedometer (速度计): 30 kmph. How cool it was! 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。 Suddenly, a dog rushed out and ran across the road. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ We picked up the motorbike and found one mirror was missing. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 听力 1—5 CCBAC 6—10 AAABA 11—15 CCABA 16—20 CBCAB 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2025届高三年级第四次调研测试外语科试卷 (试卷满分150分, 考试时间120分钟) 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。每段对话仅读一遍。 1.

Diagnosed with ALS in 2019, he would have only two to five years to live. ALS is usually caused by the gradual death of motor neurons (神经元), which makes normally easy movements like drinking water, eating, going to the bathroom, and speaking impossible. Finally, patients will completely rely on machines and others’ help to survive. So far, only two medicines are available to treat ALS, but they can at most extend patients’ life for several months without improving their living quality. To develop effective drugs is the only way to save ALS patients. However, the intense effort required, which is unprofitable for so rare an illness, makes it a mission almost impossible. It usually takes 10-15 years to complete the research cycle for a new drug and the cost is $1-3billion. Take Alzheimer’s disease for example. Between 2000 and 2017, investment in new drugs for this more common disease was over $600 billion, and 99.6% of the research on more than 300 drugs failed. Cai decided to take matters into his own hands. He started his own medical technology company, built his own research team, and volunteered to try more than 30 new medicines which all failed. However, he has decided that even if all efforts prove fruitless, he will continue. To shoot the last bullet, he has decided to donate his brain and spinal cord for scientific research. He will not die for nothing. 4. What kind of person is Cai Lei? A. Extremely ambitious and well-mannered. B. Quite reliable and clear-headed. C. Highly motivated and strong-willed. D. Well informed and warm-hearted. 5. What might happen to people diagnosed with ALS? A. Maintaining a normal life by taking medicines. B. Losing the ability to think and speak normally. C. Needing external assistance to survive in the end. D. Dying within months of a confirmed diagnosis. 6. Why is Alzheimer’s disease mentioned in paragraph 4? A. To prove Alzheimer to be a common disease. B. To talk about the severity of Alzheimer. C To ask for more investment in the research on ALS. D. To explain the difficulty of finding a cure for ALS. 7. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. A man who never gives in. B. Joint efforts to fight ALS. C. ASL, a rare deadly disease. D. Suffering of a man with ALS. 【答案】4. C 5. C 6. D 7. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了京东集团前副总裁蔡磊在得知自己患上渐冻症后，决心找到治愈方法的故事，展现了他高度的积极性和坚强的意志。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段“Since primary school, he has been getting up before 5 am to run and study English. At 29, Cai became chief tax manager in Vanke Co. In 2011, he joined JD Group, where he led his team to develop the first electronic invoice in China. Wherever he worked, he always tried his best to create new value.(从小学开始，他就每天早上5点前起床跑步、学习英语。29岁时，蔡磊成为万科公司税务总监。2011年，他加入京东集团，在那里他带领团队开发了中国第一张电子发票。无论在哪里工作，他总是尽力创造新价值。)”和最后一段“He started his own medical technology company, built his own research team, and volunteered to try more than 30 new medicines which all failed. However, he has decided that even if all efforts prove fruitless, he will continue. To shoot the last bullet, he has decided to donate his brain and spinal cord for scientific research.(他创办了自己的医疗科技公司，组建了自己的研究团队，并自愿尝试了30多种新药，但都以失败告终。然而，他决定，即使所有的努力都证明是徒劳的，他也将继续下去。为了射出最后一颗子弹，他决定将自己的大脑和脊髓捐献给科学研究。)”可知，蔡磊从小努力上进，工作中积极创造价值，被确诊渐冻症后，积极寻求治疗办法，即使尝试新药失败，也决定继续下去，还要捐献大脑和脊髓用于科学研究，这说明他积极性很高且意志坚强。故选C。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段“ALS is usually caused by the gradual death of motor neurons (神经元), which makes normally easy movements like drinking water, eating, going to the bathroom, and speaking impossible. Finally, patients will completely rely on machines and others’ help to survive..(渐冻症通常是由运动神经元的逐渐死亡引起的，这使得喝水、吃饭、上厕所和说话等通常容易的动作变得不可能。最后，患者将完全依赖机器和他人的帮助来生存。)”可知，被诊断为渐冻症的人最终需要外部帮助才能生存。故选C。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第四段“It usually takes 10-15 years to complete the research cycle for a new drug and the cost is 1−3 billion. Take Alzheimer’s disease for example. Between 2000 and 2017, investment in new drugs for this more common disease was over 600 billion, and 99.6% of the research on more than 300 drugs failed.(开发一种新药通常需要10-15年的时间，成本为10-30亿美元。以阿尔茨海默病为例。2000年至2017年间，对这种更常见疾病的新药投资超过6000亿美元，对300多种药物的研究中，99.6%以失败告终。)”可知，第四段提到阿尔茨海默病是为了解释找到治愈渐冻症的方法有多难。故选D。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，本文主要讲述了京东集团前副总裁蔡磊在得知自己患上渐冻症后，决心找到治愈方法的故事，展现了他高度的积极性和坚强的意志，选项A“一个永不屈服的人”最适合作为本文标题。故选A。 C Chinese hit video game Black Myth: Wukong has taken the gaming world by storm, selling more than 10 million copies across all platforms in just three days after its release. The game is inspired by the classic Chinese novel Journey to the West. In it, players take the role of the Destined One, setting off for adventures to collect six Relics that once belonged to Sun Wukong and challenge the Celestial Court. Drawing on a rich heritage of nearly 1,000 years of Chinese culture, the game’s storyline and characters have proven difficult to understand for many players from western countries. For instance, a player shared on social media that their lack of familiarity with Journey to the West led to them consistently missing hidden treasures, finally resulting in repeated failures during a boss fight in Chapter 2. Meanwhile, some players feel overwhelmed by names like Erlang Shen and Lingxuzi, which can be difficult to pronounce for those unfamiliar with Chinese phonetics. To bridge these cultural divides, one enthusiast wrote a 200-page outline detailing Sun Wukong’s abilities across all 100 chapters of Journey to the West. Many others immersed themselves in the epic by checking out forums, TV shows, anime, manga and online encyclopedias. Through this process, western players have not only refined their gaming skills but also developed a deeper appreciation for Sun Wukong and Journey to the West. “Although many people might compare Sun Wukong to Western superheroes, I believe they are different,” said Patrick from the US. “Sun Wukong has a carefree and independent nature, unlimited by the need to set a good example for others like Spider-Man, who by contrast follows principles like ‘with great power comes great responsibility’.” Journey to the West offers a comprehensive narrative that covers a very dangerous journey, numerous encounters and the exploration of various cultures, making it a rich source for diverse storytelling types and cultural backgrounds. Perhaps these are some of the key reasons why Journey to the West has been translated into over a dozen languages, with more than 60 versions available worldwide. 8. What is the Destined One in Paragraph 2? A. The nickname of Sun Wukong in the game. B. The fictional main character of this hit game. C. One of the adventures to collect the six Relics. D. One of the six Relics belonging to the Celestial Court. 9. What does the underlined word “bridge” in paragraph 4 most likely mean? A. Get rid of. B. Take control of. C. Keep track of D. Take advantage of. 10. What can be learned about the game from the passage? A. It has gradually gained popularity among players worldwide. B. Its original character Sun Wukong is similar to western superheroes. C. It has been translated into many languages with numerous versions available worldwide. D. It is rather challenging for western players due to their unfamiliarity with Chinese culture. 11. What does the text mainly talk about? A. A Chinese hit video game and its original novel Journey to the West. B. Reasons behind the success of Chinese video game Black Myth: Wukong. C. The cultural impact and western players’ reception of a Chinese hit video game. D. Challenges and benefits Black Myth: Wukong brings to the spread of Chinese culture. 【答案】8. B 9. A 10. D 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了中国热门电子游戏《黑色神话：悟空》的文化影响以及西方玩家对这款游戏的接受程度。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段的句子“In it, players take the role of the Destined One, setting off for adventures to collect six Relics that once belonged to Sun Wukong and challenge the Celestial Court.(在这款游戏中，玩家将扮演“命中注定的人”，开始收集孙悟空的六件遗物，并向天庭发起挑战。)”可知，Destined One指的是游戏中玩家所扮演的角色。故选B项。 【9题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段的内容“Drawing on a rich heritage of nearly 1,000 years of Chinese culture, the game’s storyline and characters have proven difficult to understand for many players from western countries. For instance, a player shared on social media that their lack of familiarity with Journey to the West led to them consistently missing hidden treasures, finally resulting in repeated failures during a boss fight in Chapter 2. Meanwhile, some players feel overwhelmed by names like Erlang Shen and Lingxuzi, which can be difficult to pronounce for those unfamiliar with Chinese phonetics.(这款游戏拥有近千年的中国文化遗产，但它的故事情节和角色对许多西方国家的玩家来说很难理解。例如，一名玩家在社交媒体上分享说，他们对《西游记》的不熟悉导致他们不断丢失隐藏的宝藏，最终导致他们在第二章的boss战中反复失败。与此同时，一些玩家对“二郎神”和“灵须子”这样的名字感到不知所措，对于不熟悉汉语语音的人来说，这些名字很难发音。)”可知，划线单词后面的these cultural divides指的是由于对中国文化的不熟悉导致西方玩家对故事情节和角色难理解；再由划线单词后面的“these cultural divides, one enthusiast wrote a 200-page outline detailing Sun Wukong’s abilities across all 100 chapters of Journey to the West”可知，一位爱好者写了一份200页的大纲，详细介绍了孙悟空在《西游记》中所有100章的能力，肯定是为了弥合第三段提到的文化差异，所以划线单词bridge的意义为“弥合，消除”，与get rid of意义一致。故选A项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段的内容“Drawing on a rich heritage of nearly 1,000 years of Chinese culture, the game’s storyline and characters have proven difficult to understand for many players from western countries.

His whole job consisted of staring at these machines all day, which was incredibly boring. The “lazy” boy then invented a release for the pump to run just as it should and won his freedom. The first automatic steam engine was born. This story may be fictional but the boy’s behavior reflects a deeper truth. When we are feeling lazy, we often search for an easier way, trying to update the process and save time and effort. In other words, laziness can drive innovation. In recent years, some psychologists and business leaders have wised up to this insight, changing our perspective of what laziness really means. Both Bill Gates and Walter Chrysler have been credited with a quote: “I always choose a lazy person to do a hard job because a lazy person will find an easy way to do it.” Our brains are born for laziness. Compared with our ancestors who had to conserve energy to compete for food, flee from predators, and fight, we now don’t take survival as a daily issue. It seems natural that we would choose to be “lazier”, but the opposite has occurred. According to the U. S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, Americans sleep less and work more than we used to; productivity per worker has gone up 400 percent since 1950. Our culture teaches us that our worth depends on how industrious we are, so we work even harder to produce even more. But there’s one big paradox, sad but true: The harder we work, the less productive we are. When demand increases, we tend to push harder. Yet the trouble is that, without any refresh and recharge, we are less efficient, make more mistakes, and get less engaged with what we’ re doing. Therefore, how can we make our labor more meaningful and our lives more fulfilling? Current research in psychology and neuroscience points to a new understanding of the value of the wandering mind. Taking breaks and allowing your thoughts to drift can help your brain retain information, refocus, and gain fresh perspective. Here’s the core problem: When the time finally comes to put our feet up, we often don’t know how. We have little training in how to be idle. But at least give it a shot. Maybe this week, notice some downtime in your day, some white space in your calendar. Instead of filling the space with more work, just sit in the sofa. and be, in the words of poet Mary Oliver, “idle and blessed.” 12. The author tells the story in paragraph I to prove ________. A. the kid needs punishing B. boredom enhances productivity C. creativity contributes to laziness D. laziness inspires new ideas 13. How did the author support his opinion in the third paragraph? A By listing some numbers of being lazy. B. By quoting some great figures’ words. C. By making a comparison between two great figures. D. By giving examples of how to be creative. 14. What can we infer from paragraph 4? A. People nowadays don’t have to face poverty. B. Modern society honors creativity. C. Americans lives a poorer life than before. D. Ancestors consider industry as a value. 15. Which of the following idea will the author probably agree with? A. Working 24 — 7 with a tight schedule. B. Taking three part-time jobs to fill weekends. C. Watching a stand-up comedy after a busy weekday. D. Attending a formal dinner with business purpose. 【答案】12. D 13. B 14. D 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。主要介绍的是懒惰如何意外地成为创新的催化剂，通过历史故事和现代研究探讨适当的休息对提高生产力和个人幸福感的重要性。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“The “lazy” boy then invented a release for the pump to run just as it should and won his freedom. The first automatic steam engine was born.(这个“懒惰”的男孩后来发明了一个释放装置，让水泵正常运转，赢得了自由。第一台自动蒸汽机诞生了)”和第二段“This story may be fictional, but the boy’s behavior reflects a deeper truth. When we are feeling lazy, we often search for an easier way, trying to update the process and save time and effort. In other words, laziness can drive innovation.(这个故事可能是虚构的，但这个男孩的行为反映了一个更深层次的事实。当我们感到懒惰时，我们通常会寻找更简单的方法，试图更新流程，节省时间和精力。换句话说，懒惰可以推动创新)”可推知，第一段提到这个男孩的故事是为了证明懒惰激发新想法，即懒惰可以推动创新。故选D。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“In recent years, some psychologists and business leaders have wised up to this insight, changing our perspective of what laziness really means. Both Bill Gates and Walter Chrysler have been credited with a quote: “I always choose a lazy person to do a hard job because a lazy person will find an easy way to do it.”(近年来，一些心理学家和商业领袖已经意识到这一点，改变了我们对懒惰真正含义的看法。比尔·盖茨和沃尔特·克莱斯勒都曾说过这样一句话：“我总是选择一个懒惰的人来做一项艰巨的工作，因为懒惰的人会找到一种简单的方法来完成这项工作。”)”推知，作者通过引用一些伟大人物的话来支持他的观点。故选B。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“Our culture teaches us that our worth depends on how industrious we are, so we work even harder to produce even more.(我们的文化告诉我们，我们的价值取决于我们有多勤奋，所以我们更加努力地工作，以生产更多的产品)”可知，我们的文化告诉我们，我们的价值取决于我们有多努力、生产了多少东西。由此推知，祖先们认为勤劳是一种价值。故选D。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段的“Taking breaks and allowing your thoughts to drift can help your brain retain information, refocus, and gain fresh perspective. (休息一下，让你的思想游离一下，可以帮助你的大脑记住信息，重新集中注意力，获得新的视角)”和最后一段“We have little training in how to be idle. But at least give it a shot. Maybe this week, notice some downtime in your day, some white space in your calendar. Instead of filling the space with more work, just sit in the sofa. and be, in the words of poet Mary Oliver, “idle and blessed.”(我们几乎没有受过如何闲着的训练。但至少试一试。也许这周，注意到你一天中的一些休息时间，日历上的一些空白。不要用更多的工作填满空间，只要坐在沙发上，用诗人Mary Oliver的话来说，“悠闲而幸福”)”可知，作者认为我们应该适当休息，不要让工作把日程填满，偶尔让思想游离，这样有助于记忆和重新集中精力。由此推知，作者可能会同意C项“在繁忙的工作日后看单口喜剧”。故选C。 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。 How to Write Any High School Essay Writing an essay is an important basic skill that you will need to succeed in high school, college, and beyond.

It belonged to Ranjan’s uncle. Overnight, Ranjan had become a prince among us boys. We surrounded him the next day, wanting to learn more details. Ranjan’s uncle had come from Bombay, riding the new motorbike. Every afternoon when he slept, we would gather around the blue bike, admiring it. Sometimes Ranjan managed to take out his uncle's red helmet (头盔). We would wear it in turn and sit on the bike, imagining starting it and being off. In the evenings, we watched Ranjan go out for a ride with his uncle and our eyes were filled with envy (羡慕). One Monday morning I was struggling with the homework when Ranjan whispered in my ear, “I am learning to ride it, Tony.” “What?” I doubted. “I will show you this afternoon. ”Ranjan sounded confident. Ranjan, like the rest of us, knew everything about the motorbike, every part of it. But to ride it was another story. Like all grown-ups, his uncle had this belief that fourteen-year-olds could not ride things like motorbikes. It is unfair really. The big moment came at last. After lunch, I came to meet Ranjan, who appeared at the gate seconds later, wearing the red helmet. Noiselessly, he wheeled the bike out of the gate. He looked around carefully, pushed it down the road, and started it. “Get on, boy!”I felt excited as I climbed onto the back seat, but still could not believe that he could ride it. “Ready?”Ranjan shouted. “Yeah. What are you waiting for?” We were off. The road was nearly empty and we were moving smoothly. I had a look at the speedometer (速度计): 30 kmph. How cool it was! 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。 Suddenly, a dog rushed out and ran across the road. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ We picked up the motorbike and found one mirror was missing. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Suddenly, a dog rushed out and ran across the road. “Hey, Ranjan stop!” I yelled, gripping his shoulders. Our minds raced, trying to think of a way to do something. But it was too late. In the twinkling of an eyelid, he stepped on the brakes and the motorbike screeched to a halt. No sooner had we knocked into the poor dog than we stopped our motorbike. In a daze, I saw the dog sprawling on the road, without moving a muscle. At the same time, we were thrown to the ground heavily, so was the most beautiful motorbike. We picked up the motorbike and founded our mirror was missing. “What shall we do?” He muttered. I shook my head, helplessly. We walked slowly on the way home, with our legs trembling and our hearts bumping nearly out of check. It seemed like hundreds of years before we approached home. How we wished we could wheeled into the yard quitely. However, uncle had waited for us out the door. He gazed at the motorbike, unbelievable. “We are really sorry, but... .” Silence surrounded us. “It’s nothing serious. But alway remember safety is alway the first important.” So ashamed was I that we could feel the blood rush to my face. YES, overconfidence comes at cost. 【解析】 【导语】本文以一辆蓝色摩托车为线索展开，讲述了Ranjan的叔叔有一辆有两个智能后视镜的蓝色摩托车，这是附近最漂亮的摩托车，也是附近第一辆这样的摩托车。Ranjan和我一直梦想着有一天我们能够骑着这辆摩托车出去兜风。这样的日子终于来了，利用中午Ranjan叔叔休息的空档我们两个偷偷地骑着这辆摩托车出去兜风。一切进展顺利直到一条狗出现在空无一人的马路上，结果可想而知。这次的鲁莽行为直接导致摩托车的一个智能后视镜不见了。紧张、不安和后悔使得我们不知道该如何去面对叔叔，而叔叔却用他的宽容让我们意识到过分自信最终会让我们付出代价。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“突然一只狗冲了出来，跑过了马路。”可知，第一段可写作者和Ranjan在撞上这条狗之前的一系列操作以及撞上之后的情况。 ②由第二段首句内容“我们推起摩托车，发现有一面镜子不见了。”可知，第二段可写发现镜子不见了之后作者和Ranjan的反应以及将摩托车骑回家之后叔叔的宽容和作者的感悟。 续写线索：骑行——撞狗——摔车——镜子遗失——回家——认错——原谅——感悟 词汇激活 行为类 ①大喊，喊叫：yell/shout/scream ②尖叫：screech/squeal ③凝视：gaze/stare 情绪类 ①无助地：helplessly/hopelessly ②惭愧的：ashamed/guilty 【点睛】【高分句型1】I yelled, gripping his shoulders.(使用了现在分词短语作状语) 【高分句型2】So ashamed was I that we could feel the blood rush to my face.(使用了部分倒装) 听力 1—5 CCBAC 6—10 AAABA 11—15 CCABA 16—20 CBCAB 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
