Under the art name of Bendu, Vermander — who is also known by his Chinese name Wei Mingde — is exhibiting more than 60 Chinese ink paintings, most of which he has created over the past decade. Born in France in 1960, Vermander has been fond of painting since childhood. However, damage to sight and hearing made it hard for him to advance his painting skills, and his brushwork was commented as not being “clean”. The turning point came in 1987 when Vermander made his first visit to China and was fascinated both by the history and the meanings of Chinese ink painting. “In this art form, I could find my own way of expression. I also realized that I could create much more freely than in classical Western painting, as even the ‘not clean’ part of my works can be a good part of a creation with ink. So, I decided to shift my focus on Chinese ink painting,” Vermander says. Since then, he has visited many places across China to study Chinese painting. “Every one of my Chinese ink paintings is also a philosophical article,” he adds. For him, a good work — of either art or philosophy — should allow diversity in meaning, as each one can have a different connection to his work. Vermander regards his paintings as integrated expressions of himself with daily life. Through the ink brush, he hopes to show his inner explorations, and the movement of his heart. “What I like most in Chinese ink painting is the freedom it allows you. I am not skilled in Western painting as I have bad eyes, and it is not my character to be cautious, careful and plan everything. With Chinese ink painting, I could liberate my inner wildness. My only future goal is to have more time for painting — that’s it,” he says, laughing. 4. What challenges did Vermander face in his early painting career? A. Physical problems. B. Nationality issues. C. Mental sufferings. D. Colleagues’ jealousy. 5. Vermander is interested in Chinese ink painting because of ________. A. its wildness B. its nature C. his visits to China D. his love for China 6. Which of the following is true about Vermander’s ink paintings? A. They are connected to his inner feelings. B. They are criticized for not being clean. C. They have a single and clear meaning. D. They integrate Chinese and Western styles. 7 What is the text mainly about? A. The style and techniques of Chinese ink painting. B. The comparison between Western and Chinese art. C. A foreigner finding himself in Chinese ink painting. D A phenomenon waiting for an art foreigner to explain. C Google’s recently introduced Willow quantum chip (量子芯片) is a significant breakthrough in the field of quantum computing. It has 105 physical quantum bits and can complete a complex benchmark (基准) calculation in less than five minutes, while the fastest common computer would take 1025 years for the same task. This chip represents a major technological breakthrough as it solves the long-standing problem of quantum error correction. The working mechanism of Willow is centered around its advanced error correction processes. It uses quantum correction codes, where multiple physical quantum bits are networked to create a single logical quantum bit, allowing for the identification of errors without disturbing the original quantum state. The chip also incorporates a system of active supervision that continuously monitors qubit (quamtum bit) behavior, detects abnormalities in real-time, and takes measures immediately to correct errors. This combination of real-time error correction and constant monitoring, along with an optimized architecture for handling qubits, enables Willow to reduce errors exponentially (呈指数增长) as the number of qubits increases. This is a major achievement, solving a problem that has plagued the field for nearly 30 years and paving the way for more powerful and practical quantum computing systems in the future. The potential applications of Willow are vast, including quickening drug discovery, improving electric vehicle battery design, and advancing fusion energy and new energy alternatives. In conclusion, Google’s Willow quantum chip holds great promise for the future of computing and various industries. However, it should be noted that Willow is still in the laboratory stage and requires further testing and improvement before practical application. It currently has 105 qubits, still too small to handle truly useful and complex real-world tasks. Experts suggest that millions of qubits may be needed to solve important industry problems. Moreover, the chip needs to operate in extremely low-temperature and highly controlled laboratory environments, which limits its immediate practical use. Therefore, while Willow shows great promise for the future of quantum computing, it is not yet ready for practical applications at present. 8. What should be left undisturbed when solving the problem of quantum error correction? A. Quantum correction codes. B. The network of quantum errors. C. The original state of quantum. D. The system of active supervision. 9. What does the underlined word “plagued” in paragraph 3 most probably mean? A. Caused trouble to. B. Made use of. C. Had difficulty in. D. Set standards for. 10. Which of the following limits Willow’s practical use? A. Narrow application market. B. High testing cost. C. Small qubit number. D. Possible environment pollution. 11. Which of the following would be the best title for this article? A. Willow: A Quantum Chip Setting New Benchmark B. Google’s Willow: The End of Computing Problems C. Willow Quantum Chip: Ready for practical application D. Google’s Willow: Innovations and Limitations D As long as I can remember having a phone in my hand, I’ve been a terrible replier. When a new group chat is created, the members will come to laugh at my inability to respond to a simple question in a matter of hours. I’m not a horrible replier in all aspects of my life. In fact, I pride myself on my swift response time when it comes to work emails, my manager and my mum. “Call me instead,” I tell my friends. “I’m a much better caller.” They know if it’s urgent and they need me, I’ll pick up and always be there. But if I read a message and I categorize it as non-urgent, then it’s a different story. When it comes to the group chats the conversations move so rapidly that if I’m not present for five minutes, I’ve suddenly missed 67 messages concerning daily matters. By the time I’ve responded to their messages, many have already messaged back, and then I mentally file their non-urgent messages away in the non-urgent cabinet (柜) again, and thus the problematic cycle continues — the unavoidable iMessage quicksand (流沙). I want to stress I do love my friends and I am grateful to be included in all of the group chats. I simply find it a headache to keep up with the never-ending stream of messages that we’re flooded with throughout the day. In these moments, my friend’s messages go unanswered and I sometimes feel like throwing my phone into a lake, lying on the floor and staring at a wall. Alas, I recently asked my friend Tully how she felt about my texting habits. She’s the friend you can always rely on to give you the non-sugar-coated truth. “You take three to five business days to respond if we’re lucky,” she tells me. Ouch, but probably not wrong. “To be fair,” she adds, “when we do eventually get an answer out of you — you are always down for the plans, you always show up when we need you, you never cancel and you’re usually the one driving 40 minutes across town to see us southside so… we can handle the group chat silence in return for that kind of friendship.” 12. What will happen if a friend sends the author a message in a group chat? A. The author will respond very soon. B. The author will call her friend back. C. It might be deleted and put into the cabinet. D. It might be answered in several hours or even days. 13. What is the basis for the author’s decision on response time to a message? A The quality of friendship. B. The degree of urgency. C. Random choice. D. Time order. 14. What does the author focus on in the third and fourth paragraphs? A. The value of interpersonal relationship. B. The importance of being in a group chat. C. Problems with group chat messages. D. Methods of using group chats in our life. 15. Which of the following can best describe the author? A. Creative. B. Irresponsible. C. Lazy. D. Trustworthy. 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。选项中有两项为多于选项。 We’ve all been there before — you’re in conversation, things are getting along nicely. ___16___ At that moment, your mind goes completely blank, you don’t know what to say, and you can sense the other person’s eyes wandering as they look for someone else to talk to. That scenario (场面) is terrible, so here are three tips to make sure that you never run out of things to say in conversation again. Firstly, when you find yourself in that situation where your mind has gone blank, play “Reminds Me of”. That just means that you look to the environment around you and say, “You know, that reminds me of…” and then fill in the blank. ___17___ And it can also work as a follow-up when someone finishes telling a story, which is how many groups of friends interact all the time. Second, when you ask questions, keep them open-ended as often as possible. ___18___ So rather than saying, “Oh, you’re from Toronto. Do you like it there?” you might say, “How do you like Toronto? I’m curious to hear more about it.” You should get the other person talking about the things that they like, which is going to open up more conversational topics. ___19___ This is the third tip. If you’re in a new group and conversation dies after initial pleasantries, a great question is, “How do you guys all know one another?” There’s almost always some kind of story that conversation can build from. If you’re only speaking to one person, you can say instead, “So what’s your story?” The great thing about this question is that it is so open-ended that the other person will probably guide you towards new topics, usually responding with something like, “You mean what do I do for work or what do I like to do for fun?” ___20___ A. It’s great for opening new conversational topics. B. Then out of nowhere, the awkward silence occurs. C. So, ask them about their exciting plans for the future. D. You’d better avoid questions inviting a one-word response. E. That’s because people don’t like to talk to others different from themselves. F. For the worst scenario when conversation stops suddenly, use saving questions. G. His or her tone and enthusiasm will tell you the best angle of conversation to continue with. 第三部分 语言运用 (共两节，满分30分) 第一节 (共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Years ago, I faced a significant challenge with my water bills. As a single man living in my own house, I was astonished by the ___21___ amounts I had to pay. A wise old neighbor suggested that I dig a ___22___. Following his advice, I hired an engineer who marked several ___23___ on my property where he believed we could find water. However, after digging multiple holes without success, I became quite ___24___ and almost gave up on the idea. But then, a saying ___25___ to my mind: “When the going gets tough, the tough gets going.” This ___26___ me to push through, so I encouraged the engineer to keep digging. After ___27___ more than 1000 feet into the earth, we finally made it. This entire experience served as a meaningful ___28___ for me: in life, we’re all like individuals digging for wells, whether it’s in building relationships, chasing our dreams, or constructing our futures. ___29___, we might feel like we’re putting in all our time, effort, and energy without seeing any ____30____ results. However, if we ____31____ with it and keep digging, we might find that we’re just moments away from the blessings and rewards we’ve been working so hard for. So, keep digging in your own life. Don’t give up, even when things are ____32____. You are worthy of achieving your goals. And when you finally reach them, celebrate your success and let everyone ____33____ your worth. Keep pushing forward, and you’ll find the water you’re ____34____. Remember, every drop counts, and every ____35____ you make is a step towards your ultimate goal. 21. A. formal B. ordinary C. enormous D. extra 22. A. pond B. channel C. well D. hole 23. A. problems B. records C. directions D. spots 24. A. busy B. upset C. worried D. tired 25.

I can’t play basketball as well as other boys. And I failed Math exam again yesterday, which made me…”, Tom, a 16-year-old boy of Mr. Brown’s class, lowered his head, sobbing (啜泣) uncontrollably in the Teacher’s Office. “I’m sorry to hear that”, Mr. Brown patted Tom’s shoulder gently and asked the young boy to sit down in front of the desk so that they could sit opposite each other. This was the first time that Tom had turned to Mr. Brown for help because he was so shy and quiet in school. But Mr. Brown had noticed him many times in school’s volunteer work. Looking at the sad young boy, Mr. Brown was silent for a moment. Then, he took a piece of paper and a pen out of his drawer. “I’d like to invite you to take a surprise test, my boy”, said Mr. Brown, passing the pen to Tom. “A new Math exam?”, Tom raised his eyes which were still filled with tears, got the pen and replied in confusion, worrying about the coming challenge. “Just take it easy because it’s not about numbers or formulas (方程) ”, Mr. Brown comforted him with a big smile. Not knowing what would come in the exam paper, Tom nodded his head and wiped his tears with his sleeves. Mr. Brown handed Tom the question paper and encouraged him softly, “Now, you can begin and please finish the test within ten minutes.” To Tom’s surprise, there were no questions in the paper, but just a black dot in the center of the page. Mr. Brown thoroughly read through Tom’s puzzled expressions and said, “I want you to write what you see there.” Confused as he was, Tom began to do what he had been asked to do. Meanwhile, Mr. Brown picked up a novel and started reading it, waiting patiently. Paragraph one: Tom scratched (挠) his head anxiously, having no idea what to write. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph two: “What your writing focused on was just the black dot, but you have a whole white paper,” said Mr. Brown. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 常州市2024-2025学年第一学期高三期末质量调研 英语 注意：本试卷分四个部分，答案全部做在答题纸上。总分为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 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.

For him, a good work — of either art or philosophy — should allow diversity in meaning, as each one can have a different connection to his work. Vermander regards his paintings as integrated expressions of himself with daily life. Through the ink brush, he hopes to show his inner explorations, and the movement of his heart. “What I like most in Chinese ink painting is the freedom it allows you. I am not skilled in Western painting as I have bad eyes, and it is not my character to be cautious, careful and plan everything. With Chinese ink painting, I could liberate my inner wildness. My only future goal is to have more time for painting — that’s it,” he says, laughing. 4. What challenges did Vermander face in his early painting career? A. Physical problems. B. Nationality issues. C. Mental sufferings. D. Colleagues’ jealousy. 5. Vermander is interested in Chinese ink painting because of ________. A its wildness B. its nature C. his visits to China D. his love for China 6. Which of the following is true about Vermander’s ink paintings? A. They are connected to his inner feelings. B. They are criticized for not being clean. C. They have a single and clear meaning. D. They integrate Chinese and Western styles. 7. What is the text mainly about? A. The style and techniques of Chinese ink painting. B. The comparison between Western and Chinese art. C. A foreigner finding himself in Chinese ink painting. D. A phenomenon waiting for an art foreigner to explain. 【答案】4. A 5. B 6. A 7. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文讲述了法国教授Benoit Vermander（中文名魏明德）对中国水墨画的热爱、学习及其作品特点。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“However, damage to sight and hearing made it hard for him to advance his painting skills, and his brushwork was commented as not being “clean”.(然而，视力和听力的损伤使他很难提高他的绘画技巧，他的笔触被评价为不“干净”)”可知，Vermander在他早期的绘画生涯中面临的挑战是身体问题。故选A。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“The turning point came in 1987 when Vermander made his first visit to China and was fascinated both by the history and the meanings of Chinese ink painting.(转折点出现在1987年，当时Vermander第一次访问中国，并被中国水墨画的历史和意义所吸引)”以及最后一段“ What I like most in Chinese ink painting is the freedom it allows you. (我最喜欢中国水墨画的是它给你的自由)”可知，Vermander之所以对中国水墨画感兴趣，是因为其本质。故选B。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Through the ink brush, he hopes to show his inner explorations, and the movement of his heart.(他希望通过笔墨来表现自己内心的探索和内心的运动)”可知，关于Vermander的水墨画，A选项“它们与他的内心感受有关”正确。故选A。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Benoit Vermander, a French professor at Fudan University’s School of Philosophy, has found a free mode of self-expression in Chinese ink paintings. Under the art name of Bendu, Vermander — who is also known by his Chinese name Wei Mingde — is exhibiting more than 60 Chinese ink paintings, most of which he has created over the past decade. (复旦大学哲学学院的法籍教授Benoit Vermander在中国水墨画中发现了一种自由的自我表达方式。Vermander的艺名是Bendu，他的中文名是魏明德，他将展出60多幅中国水墨画，其中大部分是他在过去十年创作的)”结合本文讲述了法国教授Benoit Vermander对中国水墨画的热爱、学习及其作品特点。可知，这篇文章的主要内容是一个外国人在中国水墨画中发现了自己。故选C。 C Google’s recently introduced Willow quantum chip (量子芯片) is a significant breakthrough in the field of quantum computing. It has 105 physical quantum bits and can complete a complex benchmark (基准) calculation in less than five minutes, while the fastest common computer would take 1025 years for the same task. This chip represents a major technological breakthrough as it solves the long-standing problem of quantum error correction. The working mechanism of Willow is centered around its advanced error correction processes. It uses quantum correction codes, where multiple physical quantum bits are networked to create a single logical quantum bit, allowing for the identification of errors without disturbing the original quantum state. The chip also incorporates a system of active supervision that continuously monitors qubit (quamtum bit) behavior, detects abnormalities in real-time, and takes measures immediately to correct errors. This combination of real-time error correction and constant monitoring, along with an optimized architecture for handling qubits, enables Willow to reduce errors exponentially (呈指数增长) as the number of qubits increases. This is a major achievement, solving a problem that has plagued the field for nearly 30 years and paving the way for more powerful and practical quantum computing systems in the future. The potential applications of Willow are vast, including quickening drug discovery, improving electric vehicle battery design, and advancing fusion energy and new energy alternatives. In conclusion, Google’s Willow quantum chip holds great promise for the future of computing and various industries. However, it should be noted that Willow is still in the laboratory stage and requires further testing and improvement before practical application. It currently has 105 qubits, still too small to handle truly useful and complex real-world tasks. Experts suggest that millions of qubits may be needed to solve important industry problems. Moreover, the chip needs to operate in extremely low-temperature and highly controlled laboratory environments, which limits its immediate practical use. Therefore, while Willow shows great promise for the future of quantum computing, it is not yet ready for practical applications at present. 8. What should be left undisturbed when solving the problem of quantum error correction? A. Quantum correction codes. B. The network of quantum errors. C. The original state of quantum. D. The system of active supervision. 9. What does the underlined word “plagued” in paragraph 3 most probably mean? A. Caused trouble to. B. Made use of. C. Had difficulty in. D. Set standards for. 10. Which of the following limits Willow’s practical use? A. Narrow application market. B. High testing cost. C. Small qubit number. D. Possible environment pollution. 11. Which of the following would be the best title for this article? A. Willow: A Quantum Chip Setting New Benchmark B. Google’s Willow: The End of Computing Problems C. Willow Quantum Chip: Ready for practical application D. Google’s Willow: Innovations and Limitations 【答案】8. C 9. A 10. C 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了谷歌最近新推出的一款量子芯片，该芯片具有创新之处，其推出带来巨大影响，但它目前也面临投入实际使用的很多困难。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“It uses quantum correction codes, where multiple physical quantum bits are networked to create a single logical quantum bit, allowing for the identification of errors without disturbing the original quantum state. (它使用量子校正码，其中多个物理量子比特联网以创建单个逻辑量子比特，允许在不干扰原始量子状态的情况下识别错误)”可知，当解决量子纠错问题时，原始量子态应保持不受干扰。故选C项。 9题详解】 词句猜测题。画线词的上文“This combination of real-time error correction and constant monitoring, along with an optimized architecture for handling qubits, enables Willow to reduce errors exponentially (呈指数增长) as the number of qubits increases. This is a major achievement, solving a problem (这种实时纠错和持续监控的结合，以及用于处理量子比特的优化架构，使Willow能够随着量子比特数量的增加而呈指数级减少错误。这是一个重大的成就，解决了一个问题)”提到Willow量子芯片的工作机制使其实现了呈指数级减少错误的目标，非常成功。由此推知，其成功的地方在于解决了困扰该领域近30年的一个问题，画线词在此处应表示“给……造成麻烦，困扰”的意思，A项Caused trouble to“给……带来麻烦”与之匹配。B项Made use of表示“利用”；C项Had difficulty in表示“在……方面有困难”；D项Set standards for表示“为……设定标准”。故选A项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“It currently has 105 qubits, still too small to handle truly useful and complex real-world tasks. (它目前有105个量子比特，仍然太小，无法处理真正有用和复杂的现实世界任务)”可知，量子比特数量少限制了Willow的实际应用。故选C项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段中“This chip represents a major technological breakthrough as it solves the long-standing problem of quantum error correction. (该芯片解决了长期存在的量子纠错问题，是一项重大的技术突破)”和最后一段中“However, it should be noted that Willow is still in the laboratory stage and requires further testing and improvement before practical application. (但需要注意的是，Willow目前还处于实验室阶段，在实际应用前还需要进一步的测试和完善)”可知，文章主要介绍了谷歌的Willow量子芯片，既阐述了它在量子计算领域的创新之处，如实时纠错和监控，又指出了它目前存在的局限性，如量子比特数量少、需要在极端低温和高度受控的实验室环境中运行等。因此，D项“谷歌的Willow：创新和局限性”最契合文章主旨，适合作为文章标题。故选D项。 D As long as I can remember having a phone in my hand, I’ve been a terrible replier. When a new group chat is created, the members will come to laugh at my inability to respond to a simple question in a matter of hours. I’m not a horrible replier in all aspects of my life. In fact, I pride myself on my swift response time when it comes to work emails, my manager and my mum. “Call me instead,” I tell my friends. “I’m a much better caller.” They know if it’s urgent and they need me, I’ll pick up and always be there. But if I read a message and I categorize it as non-urgent, then it’s a different story. When it comes to the group chats, the conversations move so rapidly that if I’m not present for five minutes, I’ve suddenly missed 67 messages concerning daily matters. By the time I’ve responded to their messages, many have already messaged back, and then I mentally file their non-urgent messages away in the non-urgent cabinet (柜) again, and thus the problematic cycle continues — the unavoidable iMessage quicksand (流沙). I want to stress I do love my friends and I am grateful to be included in all of the group chats. I simply find it a headache to keep up with the never-ending stream of messages that we’re flooded with throughout the day. In these moments, my friend’s messages go unanswered and I sometimes feel like throwing my phone into a lake, lying on the floor and staring at a wall. Alas, I recently asked my friend Tully how she felt about my texting habits. She’s the friend you can always rely on to give you the non-sugar-coated truth. “You take three to five business days to respond if we’re lucky,” she tells me. Ouch, but probably not wrong. “To be fair,” she adds, “when we do eventually get an answer out of you — you are always down for the plans, you always show up when we need you, you never cancel and you’re usually the one driving 40 minutes across town to see us southside so… we can handle the group chat silence in return for that kind of friendship.” 12. What will happen if a friend sends the author a message in a group chat? A. The author will respond very soon. B. The author will call her friend back. C. It might be deleted and put into the cabinet. D. It might be answered in several hours or even days. 13. What is the basis for the author’s decision on response time to a message? A. The quality of friendship. B. The degree of urgency. C. Random choice. D. Time order. 14. What does the author focus on in the third and fourth paragraphs? A. The value of interpersonal relationship. B. The importance of being in a group chat. C. Problems with group chat messages. D. Methods of using group chats in our life. 15. Which of the following can best describe the author? A. Creative. B. Irresponsible. C. Lazy. D. Trustworthy. 【答案】12. D 13. B 14. C 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者面对海量的信息，特别是群聊里的信息，通常会将它们归类成不重要的信息抛掷脑后。而当朋友们有紧急的事情找他时，可以给他打电话，他从不吝啬自己的帮助。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“When a new group chat is created, the members will come to laugh at my inability to respond to a simple question in a matter of hours. (当创建一个新的群聊时，成员们会嘲笑我不能在几个小时内回复一个简单的问题)”和最后一段中““You take three to five business days to respond if we’re lucky,” she tells me. (‘如果幸运的话，你需要三到五个工作日才能回复，’她告诉我)”可知，当朋友在群聊里给作者发消息时，可能会在几个小时甚至几天后才回复。故选D项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“They know if it’s urgent and they need me, I’ll pick up and always be there. But if I read a message and I categorize it as non-urgent, then it’s a different story. (他们知道如果有紧急情况需要我，我会接电话，永远在那里。但如果我读到一条信息，并将其归类为非紧急信息，那么情况就不同了)”可知，作者决定对消息的回应时间是根据消息的紧急程度。故选B项。 【14题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段中“When it comes to the group chats, the conversations move so rapidly that if I’m not present for five minutes, I’ve suddenly missed 67 messages concerning daily matters. (在群聊的时候，对话进行得如此之快，以至于如果我缺席五分钟，我就会突然错过67条与日常事务有关的信息)”和第四段中“I simply find it a headache to keep up with the never-ending stream of messages that we’re flooded with throughout the day. In these moments, my friend’s messages go unanswered and I sometimes feel like throwing my phone into a lake, lying on the floor and staring at a wall. (我只是觉得要跟上我们整天被淹没的没完没了的信息流是件令人头疼的事。在这些时刻，我朋友的信息无人回复，有时我想把手机扔进湖里，躺在地板上盯着墙看)”可知，第三段主要描述了群聊消息更新太快，第四段主要表明作者对源源不断的消息感到头疼，都是在说明群聊消息带来的问题。故选C项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“I’m not a horrible replier in all aspects of my life. In fact, I pride myself on my swift response time when it comes to work emails, my manager and my mum. (在生活的各个方面，我都不是一个糟糕的回复者。事实上，当涉及到工作邮件、我的经理和我的妈妈时，我对自己的快速回复感到自豪)”和最后一段中““To be fair,” she adds, “when we do eventually get an answer out of you — you are always down for the plans, you always show up when we need you, you never cancel and you’re usually the one driving 40 minutes across town to see us southside so… we can handle the group chat silence in return for that kind of friendship.” (‘公平地说，’她补充道，‘当我们最终从你那里得到答复时——你总是按计划进行，总是在我们需要你的时候出现，你从不取消，而且通常是你开40分钟的车穿过城市到南边看我们，所以……我们可以处理群聊的沉默，作为对这种友谊的回报。’)”可知，作者总能快速回复重要的消息，及时地、可靠地帮助有需要的朋友。由此可知，作者是值得信赖的。故选D项。 第二节 (共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多于选项。 We’ve all been there before — you’re in conversation, things are getting along nicely. ___16___ At that moment, your mind goes completely blank, you don’t know what to say, and you can sense the other person’s eyes wandering as they look for someone else to talk to. That scenario (场面) is terrible, so here are three tips to make sure that you never run out of things to say in conversation again. Firstly, when you find yourself in that situation where your mind has gone blank, play “Reminds Me of”. That just means that you look to the environment around you and say, “You know, that reminds me of…” and then fill in the blank. ___17___ And it can also work as a follow-up when someone finishes telling a story, which is how many groups of friends interact all the time. Second, when you ask questions, keep them open-ended as often as possible. ___18___ So rather than saying, “Oh, you’re from Toronto. Do you like it there?” you might say, “How do you like Toronto? I’m curious to hear more about it.” You should get the other person talking about the things that they like, which is going to open up more conversational topics. ___19___ This is the third tip. If you’re in a new group and conversation dies after initial pleasantries, a great question is, “How do you guys all know one another?” There’s almost always some kind of story that conversation can build from. If you’re only speaking to one person, you can say instead, “So what’s your story?” The great thing about this question is that it is so open-ended that the other person will probably guide you towards new topics, usually responding with something like, “You mean what do I do for work or what do I like to do for fun?” ___20___ A. It’s great for opening new conversational topics. B. Then out of nowhere, the awkward silence occurs. C. So, ask them about their exciting plans for the future. D. You’d better avoid questions inviting a one-word response. E. That’s because people don’t like to talk to others different from themselves. F. For the worst scenario when conversation stops suddenly, use saving questions. G. His or her tone and enthusiasm will tell you the best angle of conversation to continue with. 【答案】16. B 17. A 18. D 19. F 20. G 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了三个确保在谈话中避免无话可说的技巧。 【16题详解】 前文“We’ve all been there before — you’re in conversation, things are getting along nicely. (我们以前都有过这样经历——你在交谈，事情进展得很顺利)”引出交谈中事情进展顺利的情境，后文“At that moment, your mind goes completely blank, you don’t know what to say, and you can sense the other person’s eyes wandering as they look for someone else to talk to. (在那一刻，你的大脑一片空白，你不知道该说什么，你可以感觉到对方的眼睛在四处游荡，因为他们在寻找可以说话的人)”具体描述大脑陷入空白，对方想和其他人交谈的尴尬情况，空处应该是表达突然陷入一种糟糕的情况，因此B项“Then out of nowhere, the awkward silence occurs. (然后不知怎么的，尴尬的沉默出现了)”符合语境，承前启后。故选B。 【17题详解】 前文“That just means that you look to the environment around you and say, “You know, that reminds me of…” and then fill in the blank. (这意味着你看看你周围的环境，然后说，“你知道，这让我想起了……”，然后填补空白)”介绍了“这让我想起了”方法，后文“And it can also work as a follow-up when someone finishes telling a story, which is how many groups of friends interact all the time. (当某人讲完一个故事时，它也可以作为后续跟进，这是很多朋友群体一直在互动的方式)”提到这种方法进一步的用处，空处应该是指出这种方法的第一个作用，因此A项“It’s great for opening new conversational topics. (这是开启新的谈话话题的好方法)”符合语境，承接前文，后文是对其递进，其中的It指代前文描述的方法。故选A。 【18题详解】 前文“Second, when you ask questions, keep them open-ended as often as possible. (第二，当你问问题的时候，尽可能让它们是开放式的)”建议多问开放式的问题，后文“So rather than saying, “Oh, you’re from Toronto. Do you like it there?” you might say, “How do you like Toronto? I’m curious to hear more about it.” (所以不要说，“哦，你来自多伦多。你喜欢那里吗？”你可能会说：“你觉得多伦多怎么样？”我很想了解更多。”)”举出具体的例子说明应用开放式问题代替非开放式问题，空处应该点明避免非开放式问题，因此D项“You’d better avoid questions inviting a one-word response. (你最好避免一个词就能回答的问题)”符合语境，承接前文，后文是对其例证。故选D。 【19题详解】 后文“If you’re in a new group and conversation dies after initial pleasantries, a great question is, “How do you guys all know one another?” There’s almost always some kind of story that conversation can build from. If you’re only speaking to one person, you can say instead, “So what’s your story?” (如果你在一个新群体里，在最初的寒暄之后，谈话就结束了，一个很好的问题是，“你们是怎么认识彼此的？”几乎总有一些故事可以作为对话的基础。如果你只和一个人说话，你可以说，“那么你的故事是什么？”)”具体介绍了谈话陷入僵局时可以使用的通用式的提问，空处位于段首，是段落主旨句，应该是总地建议用一个通用式的提问，因此F项“For the worst scenario when conversation stops suddenly, use saving questions. (对于最糟糕的情况，当谈话突然停止时，使用保留问题)”符合语境，契合后文内容，是后一句中This指代的对象。故选F。 【20题详解】 前文“If you’re only speaking to one person, you can say instead, “So what’s your story?” The great thing about this question is that it is so open-ended that the other person will probably guide you towards new topics, usually responding with something like, “You mean what do I do for work or what do I like to do for fun?” (如果你只和一个人说话，你可以说，“那么你的故事是什么？”这个问题的好处是，它是开放式的，对方可能会引导你谈论新的话题，通常会这样回答：“你的意思是我做什么工作，或者我喜欢做什么娱乐？”)”提到和一个人说话时可以使用的通用式的提问，并指出这种提问的好处，空处是段末句，应该是继续说明这种提问的好处，因此G项“His or her tone and enthusiasm will tell you the best angle of conversation to continue with. (他或她的语气和热情会告诉你继续谈话的最佳角度)”符合语境，承接前文。故选G。 第三部分 语言运用 (共两节，满分30分) 第一节 (共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Years ago, I faced a significant challenge with my water bills.

I’m not a popular student in our class. I can’t play basketball as well as other boys. And I failed Math exam again yesterday, which made me…”, Tom, a 16-year-old boy of Mr. Brown’s class, lowered his head, sobbing (啜泣) uncontrollably in the Teacher’s Office. “I’m sorry to hear that”, Mr. Brown patted Tom’s shoulder gently and asked the young boy to sit down in front of the desk so that they could sit opposite each other. This was the first time that Tom had turned to Mr. Brown for help because he was so shy and quiet in school. But Mr. Brown had noticed him many times in school’s volunteer work. Looking at the sad young boy, Mr. Brown was silent for a moment. Then, he took a piece of paper and a pen out of his drawer. “I’d like to invite you to take a surprise test, my boy”, said Mr. Brown, passing the pen to Tom. “A new Math exam?”, Tom raised his eyes which were still filled with tears, got the pen and replied in confusion, worrying about the coming challenge. “Just take it easy because it’s not about numbers or formulas (方程) ”, Mr. Brown comforted him with a big smile. Not knowing what would come in the exam paper, Tom nodded his head and wiped his tears with his sleeves. Mr. Brown handed Tom the question paper and encouraged him softly, “Now, you can begin and please finish the test within ten minutes.” To Tom’s surprise, there were no questions in the paper, but just a black dot in the center of the page. Mr. Brown thoroughly read through Tom’s puzzled expressions and said, “I want you to write what you see there.” Confused as he was, Tom began to do what he had been asked to do. Meanwhile, Mr. Brown picked up a novel and started reading it, waiting patiently. Paragraph one: Tom scratched (挠) his head anxiously, having no idea what to write. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph two: “What your writing focused on was just the black dot, but you have a whole white paper,” said Mr. Brown. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文 Tom scratched his head anxiously, having no idea what to write. He stared at the black dot in the center of the page, trying to decipher Mr. Brown’s intentions. He thought about writing “a black dot,” but that seemed too obvious and uninspired. His mind raced, searching for deeper meaning or hidden messages. Should he write about how the dot represented his feelings of inadequacy and failure? Or perhaps how it stood out despite the surrounding emptiness? Tom’s fingers hovered over the paper, hesitant to make the first mark. “What your writing focused on was just the black dot, but you have a whole white paper,” said Mr. Brown. Tom looked up, puzzled. “Life is like this piece of paper, my boy. The black dot represents your problems and worries — they may seem big and overwhelming at times. But look at all the space around it — that’s your potential, your opportunities, and the good things in life that you often overlook. There’s a world of possibilities waiting for you beyond that tiny dot.” Tom’s eyes widened as he absorbed Mr. Brown’s words. Perhaps his school life wasn’t as hopeless as he had thought. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了16岁的男孩汤姆对老师说自己对学校生活感到绝望，于是布朗先生让他参加一个测试，纸上只有一个黑点，让汤姆把看到的写下来。布朗先生通过这种方式告诉汤姆，生活中的困难只是一个小黑点，要看到此外的美好。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“汤姆焦急地搔着头，不知道该写些什么”可知，第一段可描写汤姆内心的想法和犹豫。 ②由第二段首句内容“‘你写作的重点只是一个黑点，但你有一整张白纸，’布朗先生说”可知，第二段可描写布朗先生解释背后的道理。 2.续写线索：汤姆参加测试——汤姆寻找考试意义——汤姆犹豫——布朗先生解释道理——汤姆感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①看着：stare at/look at ②寻找：search for/look for ③理解：decipher/understand 情绪类 ①难以承受：overwhelming/unbearable ②绝望：hopeless/desperate 【点睛】[高分句型1] His mind raced, searching for deeper meaning or hidden messages.
