The Family Adventure Garden includes 15 fun learning spots about nature. Parents can also participate in family cooking classes using fresh produce from the Zachry Foundation Culinary Garden.( 圣安东尼奥植物园占地38英亩，为孩子们提供了充足的玩耍空间。家庭冒险花园包括15个有趣的自然学习点。家长还可以参加家庭烹饪班，使用扎克里基金会烹饪花园的新鲜农产品)”可知，River Walk和Botanical Garden二者的共同之处是都适合家庭游玩。故选A项。 【23题详解】 细节理解题。根据MORGAN’S WONDERLAND: FUN FOR ALL ABILITIES中“Morgan’s Wonderland is an ultra-accessible theme park designed for children of all abilities, inspired by Morgan Hartman, a child with special needs. This park features wheelchair-accessible rides and sensory-friendly attractions…(摩根仙境是一个为所有能力的孩子设计的超无障碍主题公园，灵感来自有特殊需要的孩子摩根·哈特曼。这个公园的特色是轮椅无障碍游乐设施和感官友好型景点……)”可知，Morgan’s Wonderland 的特别之处在于它对所有能力的儿童都友好，尤其是为残疾儿童设计。故选D项。 B I’m a single dad raising a son, so I usually helped my child select my Father’s day gifts, and then paid for them. When my son was a high school senior, he took control of the gifting by offering to drive us to Denny’s for breakfast. But the evening before the holiday, I couldn’t sleep. What kept me awake was the realization that this would be the last Father’s day before my kid left for college. It truly felt like I had just taken the training wheels off my son’s bike. In my household, the fridge door is the all-knowing parental focus holding the academic and sports schedules, the school lunch menu, and the family calendar. Also attached to it are photos, awards, artwork, and the “good” report cards. The refrigerator is a super-sized memory book of my son’s life. I began to go through the objects of significant emotional value, which required me to pull the fridge out because all the baby items were pushed to the sides. As I checked the golden oldies, I quickly realized three things. First, I had too many photos. Second, I needed to clear up the sides of the refrigerator. Third, soccer was a big part of our lives. I never played or watched soccer before parenthood. Yet, I became the coach for all his teams until he reached middle school. Back then I assumed it was my fatherly duty to support my son’s activities, but now I understood that I was wrong. After years of supporting, guiding, and loving my son, I finally recognized that taking part in my son’s life on any level was not a duty— it was an honor. I time-traveled through mementos (纪念品), and each memory helped me understand what being a dad really meant. Teenagers might not give us presents we want or need on Father’s day. But they have already given us the best possible gift — allowing us to feel what it’s like to be their dad. 24. What kept the author awake before Father’s day? A. Planning a surprise for his father. B. Reflecting on his poor father-son relationship. C. Feeling emotional about a special Father’s day. D. Getting excited about the breakfast at Denny’s. 25. Why is the fridge important to the family? A. It adds an artistic touch to the house. B. It holds memories of passing family days. C. It is a source of creativity for school lunch. D. It serves as a gathering place for family members. 26. Why did the author pull out the fridge? A. To redecorate its sides. B. To clear up the kitchen. C. To make room for a new one. D. To uncover personal mementos. 27. Why did the author claim that he was wrong in the last but one paragraph? A. He recognized he had too many photos. B. He regretted not playing soccer before parenthood. C. He realized fatherhood was about pride rather than a task. D. He felt ashamed to let his son take control of the gifting. 【答案】24. C 25. B 26. D 27. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了一位单身父亲在儿子高中毕业、即将上大学前的最后一个父亲节前夕难以入眠，他从冰箱承载的回忆里感悟，多年支持儿子，如今明白父亲不是一种任务，而是荣耀。 【24题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段最后两句“But the evening before the holiday, I couldn’t sleep. What kept me awake was the realization that this would be the last Father’s day before my kid left for college.(但在这个节日的前一天晚上，我无法入睡。让我睡不着的是我意识到这将是我儿子去上大学前的最后一个父亲节)”可知，作者因为意识到这是儿子去上大学前的最后一个父亲节，对这个特殊的父亲节感触颇深，所以睡不着。故选C项。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句“The refrigerator is a super-sized memory book of my son’s life.(冰箱是一本超大号的我儿子生活的记忆之书)”可知，冰箱对这个家庭很重要，是因为它承载着家庭过往日子的回忆。故选B项。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段第一句“I began to go through the objects of significant emotional value, which required me to pull the fridge out because all the baby items were pushed to the sides.(我开始翻找那些具有重大情感价值的物品，这就需要我把冰箱拉出来，因为所有孩子小时候的东西都被推到了冰箱侧面)”可知，作者拉出冰箱是为了翻找那些具有重大情感价值的物品，找出个人纪念品。故选D项。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段最后一句“Back then I assumed it was my fatherly duty to support my son’s activities, but now I understood that I was wrong. After years of supporting, guiding, and loving my son, I finally recognized that taking part in my son’s life on any level was not a duty— it was an honor.(当时我以为支持儿子的活动是我作为父亲的责任，但现在我明白我错了。在多年的支持、指导和爱我的儿子之后，我终于意识到，在任何层面参与我儿子的生活不是一种义务，而是一种荣耀)”可知，作者明白自己错了，是因为作者意识到做父亲更多的是一种荣耀，而不是一种任务。故选C项。 C Slow motion, a way of displaying action in a manner that appears slower than real-time action, is used in many short videos on social media. A new study shows that slow motion increases the number of likes and views and promotes brand preference, choice and consumer willingness to pay. Although slow motion is used in many videos, there was little scientific evidence on how this technique affects a positive viewing experience. Previous research points to different findings. Radio broadcasts, for example, are enjoyed more when they are played faster. In the new research, subjects were shown GIFs in a slow-motion version and in a normal-speed version. It turned out that slow-motion GIFs were found to be much more enjoyable than the normal fast GIFs. This effect appeared because slow motion is easier for the brain to process. Interestingly, this theory can also explain people’s viewing behavior on an online GIF-sharing platform. In a study that examined several hundred GIFs from a website, the researchers saw that slow-motion GIFs were viewed more often, received more ratings and were generally rated more positively than regular fast GIFs. Marketing researcher Anika Stuppy from Tilburg University states, “We see that the slow-motion technique is especially effective in slowing down movements that are extremely complex and difficult to observe at normal speed.” Videographers themselves can also make a movement complex, and therefore interesting. “For example, a slow-motion video of a cook cutting a steak might be boring, but a close-up of the knife slicing through the meat in slow-motion is pleasing again,” adds Stuppy. However, slow motion is not recommended in some cases, such as a simple dance. Such movements are more boring to watch in slow motion. The research also shows that when slow motion is used for content that is unpleasant, it can make the viewing experience more unpleasant. Finally, the research shows that slow motion creates feelings of safety and familiarity. Therefore, it is not a proper technique when you want to excite the viewer or show a product as “adventurous” or “exciting”. In that case, the researchers recommend fast-motion techniques. 28. What is a notable benefit of slow motion according to the new research? A. Heightening viewing pleasure. B. Inspiring a sense of adventure. C. Developing the viewers’ creativity. D. Aiding in technical problem-solving. 29. Which factor greatly influences the effectiveness of slow motion? A. The platform for sharing the content. B. The quality of the recording equipment. C. The features of the presented movement. D. The viewers’ familiarity with the subject. 30. What does the author advise video creators to do? A. Experiment with advanced fast-motion effects. B. Add pleasant content as much as possible. C. Reduce the repetition of slow motion. D. Apply slow motion to suitable scenes. 31. Which of the following is the best title of the text? A. The power of slow motion in video appreciation B. Social media’s role in shaping video preference C. The development of online video platforms D. Public opinions on slow motion usage 【答案】28. A 29. C 30. D 31. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了慢动作技术如何影响视频的观看体验，尤其是在社交媒体的短视频中，以及这一技术的实际应用和建议。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“A new study shows that slow motion increases the number of likes and views and promotes brand preference, choice and consumer willingness to pay.(一项新的研究表明，慢动作增加了点赞和观看的数量，并促进了品牌偏好、选择和消费者支付意愿)”可知，慢动作显著提升了观看的乐趣。故选A。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“We see that the slow-motion technique is especially effective in slowing down movements that are extremely complex and difficult to observe at normal speed.(我们看到，慢动作技术在放慢极其复杂且难以正常速度观察的动作时尤其有效)”可知，呈现动作的特征在很大程度上影响了慢动作的效果。故选C。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。细节理解题。根据文章第五段“However, slow motion is not recommended in some cases, such as a simple dance. Such movements are more boring to watch in slow motion.(然而，在某些情况下，不建议使用慢动作，比如简单的舞蹈。在慢动作中观看这些动作更无聊)”以及最后一段“Finally, the research shows that slow motion creates feelings of safety and familiarity.

A computer that’s built into the shorts can sense when the user shifts between walking and running. Say the word “exosuit” and super heroes come to mind-somebody like Tony Stark from Marvel Comics, whose fancy suit enables him to become Iron Man. But scientists at Harvard University have been developing an actual exosuit, a wearable machine that can improve an average man’s strength and toughness. This model improves a wearer’s performance while he is walking or running. The lead researcher Conor Walsh says when you put on his team’s suit, you definitely notice that it’s pulling across your joints, so you feel the drive from the suit. But after a while, you don’t really notice it anymore. The suit helps to extend the hip joint, saving the user’s energy. Though you might not notice it, when you shut the suit off after a few minutes of having it turned on, Walsh says, “You really quickly notice that your legs feel a little bit heavier.” Walsh says, “This suit could be helpful for a soldier carrying heavy weights over long distances.” Research on the suit was supported by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, which is part of the United States Department of Defense and develops military technology. “Other future models might help people with medical problems like Parkinson’s disease to move more easily,” he says. “My lab cooperates with a company on a suit to help stroke survivors that is now commercially available.” Karl Zelik, an assistant professor at Vanderbilt University, calls the team’s effort “promising work”. Zelik says it will enhance human abilities during various aspects of daily life. However, he notes that the exosuit field is changing fast. In the future, he says, the best assist devices may not be exosuits at all, but rather technology put inside a person’s body. He predicts that future wearables will also be able to figure out the wearer’s movement intention, and influence it when necessary to improve human performance. 32. What may the exosuit do? A. Cover the user’s wrist and upper legs. B. Sharpen a wearer’s performance of walking C. Enable a person to become a superhero. D. Sense the user’s shift from walking to running. 33. How will people feel when they take the suit off after wearing it for a few minutes? A. Their legs may feel a little heavier. B. Their body may not feel anything strange. C Their joints will feel pulled by some strength. D. Their body may feel the driving force from it. 34. What do Walsh’s words in Paragraph 4 suggest? A. The suit can safeguard soldiers in the distance. B. He works directly for American military force. C. A certain model of a suit can be purchased now. D. Current models benefit Patients with Parkinson. 35. What’s Zelik’s attitude towards the future of exosuits? A. Promising. B. Indifferent. C. Hopeless. D. Objective. 【答案】32. B 33. A 34. C 35. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文介绍一个哈佛研究小组的第一个便携式机械护甲是由穿在腰部和大腿上的布料组成，可以提高普通人的力量和韧性。文章还介绍了这套装置的一些特色和优点，以及人们对它的看法。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“But scientists at Harvard University have been developing an actual exosuit, a wearable machine that can improve an average man’s strength and toughness. This model improves a wearer’s performance while he is walking or running.(但哈佛大学的科学家们一直在开发一种真正的外装，一种可穿戴的机器，可以提高普通人的力量和韧性。这个模型可以提高佩戴者在走路或跑步时的表现)”可知，机械护甲可以提高穿戴者的行走能力。故选B。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Though you might not notice it, when you shut the suit off after a few minutes of having it turned on, Walsh says, “You really quickly notice that your legs feel a little bit heavier.”(沃尔什说，虽然你可能没有注意到，但当你在穿上机械护甲几分钟后把它脱掉时，“你很快就会注意到你的腿感觉有点重了。”)”可知，人们穿了几分钟就把护甲脱下来会感到腿有点重。故选A。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“My lab cooperates with a company on a suit to help stroke survivors that is now commercially available.(我的实验室与一家公司合作开发了一套帮助中风患者的机械护甲，现在已经上市)”可推知，Walsh的话表明现在可以买到某一款机械护甲了。故选C。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Zelik says it will enhance human abilities during various aspects of daily life. However, he notes that the exosuit field is changing fast. In the future, he says, the best assist devices may not be exosuits at all, but rather technology put inside a person’s body. He predicts that future wearables will also be able to figure out the wearer’s movement intention, and influence it when necessary to improve human performance.(泽利克说，它将提高人类在日常生活的各个方面的能力。然而，他指出，外装领域正在迅速变化。他说，在未来，最好的辅助设备可能根本不是外骨骼，而是植入人体内的技术。他预测，未来的可穿戴设备还将能够了解穿戴者的运动意图，并在必要时对其进行影响，以提高人类的表现)”可知，Zelik既对机械护甲表示肯定，又表示未来最好的辅助设备可能根本不是机械护甲，而是植入人体的技术；即他的态度是客观的。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 Stop Making Excuses and Start Living Instead Whether it’s delaying a difficult conversation or putting off pursuing your biggest dreams, excuses provide us with a temporary shelter from the discomfort we face in our daily lives. ____36____ By remaining in our comfort zone, we fail to grow and miss out on the good things life has to offer. ____37____ They make excuses, get stuck in their lives, and repeat the process over and over again. As a former excuse-maker myself, I have learned first hand just what it takes to learn how to stop making excuses for good. In this passage, I will share several practical tips on how to stop making excuses. As we all know, one of the most common reasons that people make excuses is to avoid responsibility. To stop making excuses, you should shift the focus to your own duty. ____38____ Accepting full responsibility will definitely be uncomfortable at first. But it’s the most important thing you can do to break free from excuse-making. Besides, you should challenge your limiting beliefs. We all have limiting beliefs that form the foundation of different types of excuses that we make. ____39____ They show up as you tell yourself that you’ll never succeed or that certain goals are out of reach. Consider replacing the negative thoughts with more positive beliefs. Setting goals is one of the best ways to overcome excuses. When setting goals, it’s important to be realistic about what you want to achieve. Try breaking big dreams into specific and achievable goals.____40____ A. In this way, you can easily set a realistic goal. B. These excuses will leave others a bad impression. C. There are many examples of limiting beliefs in our lives. D. In my life, I see a lot of people get stuck in the same cycle. E. Then you’ ll notice the excuses you make begin to lose their power. F.

F 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了人们喜欢找借口的原因、习惯找借口的坏处以及如何帮助人们改掉这个坏习惯。 【36题详解】 上文“Whether it’s delaying a difficult conversation or putting off pursuing your biggest dreams, excuses provide us with a temporary shelter from the discomfort we face in our daily lives.(无论是推迟一场艰难的对话，还是推迟追求你最大的梦想，借口都为我们提供了一个暂时的避风港，让我们得以逃避日常生活中所面临的不适)”及下文“By remaining in our comfort zone, we fail to grow and miss out on the good things life has to offer.(通过停留在我们的舒适区，我们无法成长，也会错过生活中许多美好的事物)”说明借口看似给人们带来的好处，下文又指出如果一直待在舒适区的坏处，由此推断所填内容应该和“借口给人们带来的坏处”有关，G选项“However, they do this at the cost of our long-term sense of satisfaction.(然而，它们是以牺牲我们长期的满足感为代价做到的)”中的however表示转折，指出虽然借口可以暂时逃避不适，但是会牺牲长期的满足感，和上文构成对比关系，而和下文构成顺承关系，符合语境。故选G。 【37题详解】 下文“They make excuses, get stuck in their lives, and repeat the process over and over again.(他们找借口，陷入生活中，一遍又一遍地重复这个过程)”说明有些人总是找借口，陷入循环，这是对上文内容的解释，D选项中“I see a lot of people get stuck in the same cycle.(我看到很多人陷入了同样的循环)”与之相呼应，下文句中的“repeat the process over and over again”和D选项中的“the same cycle”属于相似表达，故D选项“In my life, I see a lot of people get stuck in the same cycle.(在我的生活中，我看到很多人陷入同样的循环)”符合语境。故选D。 【38题详解】 上文“To stop making excuses, you should shift the focus to your own duty.(为了停止找借口，你应该把注意力转移到自己的责任上)”说明具体停止找借口的方法，即“需要把注意力转移到你的职责上”，空处可能介绍这种方法带来的好处，E选项“Then you’ ll notice the excuses you make begin to lose their power.(然后你会发现你找的借口开始失去效力)”可以承接上文，说明当你转移注意力到自己的责任上时，你会发现借口开始失去力量，符合语境。故选E。 【39题详解】 上文“Besides, you should challenge your limiting beliefs. We all have limiting beliefs that form the foundation of different types of excuses that we make.(此外，你应该挑战你的限制性信念。我们都有限制性信念，这些信念构成了我们所做的不同类型借口的基础)”说明要挑战限制性信念，C选项中“limiting beliefs in our lives(生活中的限制性信念)”与之相呼应，且C项“There are many examples of limiting beliefs in our lives.(在我们的生活中，限制性信念的例子很多)”是对上文的进一步说明，且下文内容“They show up as you tell yourself that you’ll never succeed or that certain goals are out of reach. Consider replacing the negative thoughts with more positive beliefs.(它们表现为当你告诉自己你永远不会成功，或者某些目标是遥不可及的时候。考虑用更积极的信念来替代这些消极的想法)”是对C选项“examples”的例证。故选C。 【40题详解】 上文“Setting goals is one of the best ways to overcome excuses. When setting goals, it’s important to be realistic about what you want to achieve. Try breaking big dreams into specific and achievable goals.(设定目标是克服借口的最好方法之一。在设定目标时，对自己想要实现的目标保持现实的态度很重要。试着把大梦想分解成具体且可实现的目标)”说明设定目标是克服借口的好方法，要把大梦想分解成具体且可实现的目标，F选项中“your goals(你的目标)”与之相呼应，且F项“The more concrete your goals are, the less room there is for excuses.(你的目标越具体，借口的余地就越小)”进一步说明目标越具体，借口就越少，可以承接上文，其中concrete和上文specific是同义词，故F选项符合语境。故选F。 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。 Ace-Liam Ankrah is a Ghana kid who has set the record as the world’s youngest male artist.

During my first term as an educator, the kids taught me about high school and life, and what was important to them. It had been 25 years since I graduated from high school, so I had a lot to learn. I listened, took notes, and asked many questions. My students had more hardship (艰难) than what I had been familiar with at their age. Understanding their situations was not easy, but loving them came easily. When my second term began, my classroom welcomed a group of new students, including one young man who lit up the space every time he passed through the door. David stood tall at six feet and four inches. His strong body gave him the appearance of a grown man. His wide smile and bright eyes charmed every person in the classroom. He was smart, too. David seemed to know the answers to everything. For weeks, he controlled the atmosphere of my class. He was very active. He led group discussions, encouraged others to participate, and earned the highest grades. I was so impressed by him and his abilities that I didn’t ask many questions. I didn’t really take time to get to know him as I had to be with my first-term students. A few weeks passed, and we entered the month of February. David walked quietly into the classroom. His usual smile disappeared, and he looked cold. I asked if he was okay, but he didn’t respond. I encouraged him to participate, but he refused. He was just silent and emotionless. I was puzzled, embarrassed, upset and also angry about his behavior in class. Finally, I called another student to my office. I had noticed him often walking in the hallways with David. “Do you know what’s wrong with David?” I asked. He replied, “Oh, Mrs Green, his mom’s birthday is coming, but she was just found to have cancer.” 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。 I was shocked and sad. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Hoping to comfort him, I asked,“Can I give you a hug?” _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: I was shocked and sad. I decided to do something for David during his hard time. The next day, after school, I stopped him at my desk. “I’m sorry,” I said, placing my hand on his left shoulder. “I’ve learned what’s going on with you. Why not just take a week’s leave?” David replied, “My mom won’t allow it for fear that it will affect my studies. But I’m too upset, and unable to focus on studying.” He almost cried. Hoping to comfort him, I asked, “Can I give you a hug?” David bent down and hugged me. When he stood straight, I said, “David, continue being active in class. Your good performance in school can cheer your mom up and help her recover.” He looked at me and nodded. From then on, David worked harder than before. On a Sunday morning, I visited his mom, which made David and me more connected. The next year, he was admitted to a great university. What’s more, his mom pulled through months later. 【解析】 【导语】本文以作者成为高中英语教师的经历为线索展开，讲述了在任教过程中与学生之间的互动和学习。文章特别描述了一位名叫David的学生，他最初以其积极的态度和卓越的学术表现给老师留下了深刻的印象。然而，随着二月的到来，David的行为突然转变，经过询问才得知他的母亲被诊断出癌症的事实。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我感到震惊和难过。”可知，第一段可描写作者知道了情况后对David说了什么以及David如何做出回应的。 ②由第二段首句内容“为了安慰他，我问道：“我可以给你一个拥抱吗？””可知，第二段可描写作者给了David拥抱并鼓励他尽快回到原来的状态，以及David转变后被大学录取并且母亲的病也好了。 2.续写线索：感到震惊——和David交流——David哭了——给David拥抱并鼓励——恢复到原来的状态——被大学录取且母亲痊愈 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①放置：place/lay/put ②弯腰：bend down/stoop/lean over ③拥抱某人：hug sb./give sb. a hug 情绪类 ①不安，沮丧的：upset/disturbed/frustrated ②使某人振作起来：cheer sb. up/ lift one’s spirits/ brighten one’s day 【点睛】[高分句型1] “I’m sorry,” I said, placing my hand on his left shoulder.（运用了现在分词短语作状语） [高分句型2] On a Sunday morning, I visited his mom, which made David and me more connected.（运用了which引导的非限制性定语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 参照秘密级管理★启用前 2024—2025学年度高三上学期期末模拟检测 英语 注意事项： 1. 答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名，准考证号等填写在答题卡上。 2. 回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上。写在本试卷上无效。 3. 考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 第一部分 听力(共两节，满分30分) 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 第一节(共5小题;每小题1.5分，满分7.5分) 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题,从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后,你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 1. 【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 Why is the woman growing sunflowers?

B I’m a single dad raising a son, so I usually helped my child select my Father’s day gifts, and then paid for them. When my son was a high school senior, he took control of the gifting by offering to drive us to Denny’s for breakfast. But the evening before the holiday, I couldn’t sleep. What kept me awake was the realization that this would be the last Father’s day before my kid left for college. It truly felt like I had just taken the training wheels off my son’s bike. In my household, the fridge door is the all-knowing parental focus holding the academic and sports schedules, the school lunch menu, and the family calendar. Also attached to it are photos, awards, artwork, and the “good” report cards. The refrigerator is a super-sized memory book of my son’s life. I began to go through the objects of significant emotional value, which required me to pull the fridge out because all the baby items were pushed to the sides. As I checked the golden oldies, I quickly realized three things. First, I had too many photos. Second, I needed to clear up the sides of the refrigerator. Third, soccer was a big part of our lives. I never played or watched soccer before parenthood. Yet, I became the coach for all his teams until he reached middle school. Back then I assumed it was my fatherly duty to support my son’s activities, but now I understood that I was wrong. After years of supporting, guiding, and loving my son, I finally recognized that taking part in my son’s life on any level was not a duty— it was an honor. I time-traveled through mementos (纪念品), and each memory helped me understand what being a dad really meant. Teenagers might not give us presents we want or need on Father’s day. But they have already given us the best possible gift — allowing us to feel what it’s like to be their dad. 24. What kept the author awake before Father’s day? A. Planning a surprise for his father. B. Reflecting on his poor father-son relationship. C. Feeling emotional about a special Father’s day. D. Getting excited about the breakfast at Denny’s. 25. Why is the fridge important to the family? A. It adds an artistic touch to the house. B. It holds memories of passing family days. C. It is a source of creativity for school lunch. D. It serves as a gathering place for family members. 26. Why did the author pull out the fridge? A. To redecorate its sides. B. To clear up the kitchen. C. To make room for a new one. D. To uncover personal mementos. 27. Why did the author claim that he was wrong in the last but one paragraph? A. He recognized he had too many photos. B. He regretted not playing soccer before parenthood. C. He realized fatherhood was about pride rather than a task. D. He felt ashamed to let his son take control of the gifting. C Slow motion, a way of displaying action in a manner that appears slower than real-time action, is used in many short videos on social media. A new study shows that slow motion increases the number of likes and views and promotes brand preference, choice and consumer willingness to pay. Although slow motion is used in many videos, there was little scientific evidence on how this technique affects a positive viewing experience. Previous research points to different findings. Radio broadcasts, for example, are enjoyed more when they are played faster. In the new research, subjects were shown GIFs in a slow-motion version and in a normal-speed version. It turned out that slow-motion GIFs were found to be much more enjoyable than the normal fast GIFs. This effect appeared because slow motion is easier for the brain to process. Interestingly, this theory can also explain people’s viewing behavior on an online GIF-sharing platform. In a study that examined several hundred GIFs from a website, the researchers saw that slow-motion GIFs were viewed more often, received more ratings and were generally rated more positively than regular fast GIFs. Marketing researcher Anika Stuppy from Tilburg University states, “We see that the slow-motion technique is especially effective in slowing down movements that are extremely complex and difficult to observe at normal speed.” Videographers themselves can also make a movement complex, and therefore interesting. “For example, a slow-motion video of a cook cutting a steak might be boring, but a close-up of the knife slicing through the meat in slow-motion is pleasing again,” adds Stuppy. However, slow motion is not recommended in some cases, such as a simple dance. Such movements are more boring to watch in slow motion. The research also shows that when slow motion is used for content that is unpleasant, it can make the viewing experience more unpleasant. Finally, the research shows that slow motion creates feelings of safety and familiarity. Therefore, it is not a proper technique when you want to excite the viewer or show a product as “adventurous” or “exciting”. In that case, the researchers recommend fast-motion techniques. 28. What is a notable benefit of slow motion according to the new research? A. Heightening viewing pleasure. B. Inspiring a sense of adventure. C. Developing the viewers’ creativity. D. Aiding in technical problem-solving. 29. Which factor greatly influences the effectiveness of slow motion? A. The platform for sharing the content. B. The quality of the recording equipment. C. The features of the presented movement. D. The viewers’ familiarity with the subject. 30. What does the author advise video creators to do? A. Experiment with advanced fast-motion effects. B. Add pleasant content as much as possible. C. Reduce the repetition of slow motion. D. Apply slow motion to suitable scenes. 31. Which of the following is the best title of the text? A. The power of slow motion in video appreciation B. Social media’s role in shaping video preference C. The development of online video platforms D. Public opinions on slow motion usage D A Harvard research team’s first model of a portable exosuit (机械护甲) is made of cloth components worn on the waist and upper legs. A computer that’s built into the shorts can sense when the user shifts between walking and running. Say the word “exosuit” and super heroes come to mind-somebody like Tony Stark from Marvel Comics whose fancy suit enables him to become Iron Man. But scientists at Harvard University have been developing an actual exosuit, a wearable machine that can improve an average man’s strength and toughness. This model improves a wearer’s performance while he is walking or running. The lead researcher Conor Walsh says when you put on his team’s suit, you definitely notice that it’s pulling across your joints, so you feel the drive from the suit. But after a while, you don’t really notice it anymore. The suit helps to extend the hip joint, saving the user’s energy. Though you might not notice it, when you shut the suit off after a few minutes of having it turned on, Walsh says, “You really quickly notice that your legs feel a little bit heavier.” Walsh says, “This suit could be helpful for a soldier carrying heavy weights over long distances.” Research on the suit was supported by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, which is part of the United States Department of Defense and develops military technology. “Other future models might help people with medical problems like Parkinson’s disease to move more easily,” he says. “My lab cooperates with a company on a suit to help stroke survivors that is now commercially available.” Karl Zelik, an assistant professor at Vanderbilt University, calls the team’s effort “promising work”. Zelik says it will enhance human abilities during various aspects of daily life. However, he notes that the exosuit field is changing fast. In the future, he says, the best assist devices may not be exosuits at all, but rather technology put inside a person’s body. He predicts that future wearables will also be able to figure out the wearer’s movement intention, and influence it when necessary to improve human performance. 32. What may the exosuit do? A. Cover the user’s wrist and upper legs. B. Sharpen a wearer’s performance of walking C. Enable a person to become a superhero. D. Sense the user’s shift from walking to running. 33. How will people feel when they take the suit off after wearing it for a few minutes? A. Their legs may feel a little heavier. B. Their body may not feel anything strange. C. Their joints will feel pulled by some strength. D. Their body may feel the driving force from it. 34. What do Walsh’s words in Paragraph 4 suggest? A. The suit can safeguard soldiers in the distance. B. He works directly for American military force. C. A certain model of a suit can be purchased now. D. Current models benefit Patients with Parkinson. 35. What’s Zelik’s attitude towards the future of exosuits? A. Promising. B. Indifferent. C. Hopeless. D. Objective. 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 Stop Making Excuses and Start Living Instead Whether it’s delaying a difficult conversation or putting off pursuing your biggest dreams, excuses provide us with a temporary shelter from the discomfort we face in our daily lives. ____36____ By remaining in our comfort zone, we fail to grow and miss out on the good things life has to offer. ____37____ They make excuses, get stuck in their lives, and repeat the process over and over again.

During my first term as an educator, the kids taught me about high school and life, and what was important to them. It had been 25 years since I graduated from high school, so I had a lot to learn. I listened, took notes, and asked many questions. My students had more hardship (艰难) than what I had been familiar with at their age. Understanding their situations was not easy, but loving them came easily. When my second term began, my classroom welcomed a group of new students, including one young man who lit up the space every time he passed through the door. David stood tall at six feet and four inches. His strong body gave him the appearance of a grown man. His wide smile and bright eyes charmed every person in the classroom. He was smart, too. David seemed to know the answers to everything. For weeks, he controlled the atmosphere of my class. He was very active. He led group discussions, encouraged others to participate, and earned the highest grades. I was so impressed by him and his abilities that I didn’t ask many questions. I didn’t really take time to get to know him as I had to be with my first-term students. A few weeks passed, and we entered the month of February. David walked quietly into the classroom. His usual smile disappeared, and he looked cold. I asked if he was okay, but he didn’t respond. I encouraged him to participate, but he refused. He was just silent and emotionless. I was puzzled, embarrassed, upset and also angry about his behavior in class. Finally, I called another student to my office. I had noticed him often walking in the hallways with David. “Do you know what’s wrong with David?” I asked. He replied, “Oh, Mrs Green, his mom’s birthday is coming, but she was just found to have cancer.” 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。 I was shocked and sad. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Hoping to comfort him, I asked,“Can I give you a hug?” _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
