Close to 60,000 audience gather to see the ball drop in person, but if being one of them is on your dream list, be forewarned: There are no bathrooms, and to get a good view, you’ll likely need to grab your spot and start holding it around 3 p.m. New Year’s Eve in Scotland is known as Hogmanay. The Scots stretch it into a three-day celebration starting with a parade through Edinburgh on Dec. 30, followed by a housecleaning known as the redding. Then, during “first footing”, friends and family visit each other after mid-night to become the first to set foot in each others’ homes in the new year. For good luck, the first visitor should be a tall, dark-haired man, carrying shortbread, whisky and a lump of coal. So if you find coal in your Christmas stocking, ship it to your friends in Scotland to use a few days later. Greeks smash pomegranates (石榴), which symbolize renewal in their culture, for New Year’s celebration. But perhaps an even more unusual practice is waking up children on Jan. 1 by tapping them on the head with an onion. It’s considered good luck in many Spanish-speaking nations to eat 12 grapes at midnight — one with each clock strike — on Jan.1. Estonians sometimes swallow 12 meals on the last day of the year. Germans go for marzipan shaped like pigs, thanks to the phrase “schwein gehabt”, which means having good luck. And the French eat crepes, representing the sun, in hopes of brighter days and prosperity in the new year, although they do it slightly later, on Feb. 2, during a festival called La Chandeleur. 1. What should be considered by the geodesic ball drop enthusiasts? A. Personal safety. B. Viewing location. C. Weather conditions. D. Transportation options. 2. What might people do on the last night of the year in Scotland? A. Dress up as a coal man. B. Participate in the redding. C. Welcome the first guest. D. Watch the Edinburgh show. 3. Which country has a tradition of overeating on New Year’s Eve? A. Greece. B. Estonia. C. Germany. D. France. 【答案】1. B 2. C 3. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了世界各地独特的新年庆祝方式。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Close to 60,000 audience gather to see the ball drop in person, but if being one of them is on your dream list, be forewarned: There are no bathrooms, and to get a good view, you’ll likely need to grab your spot and start holding it around 3 p.m.(近6万名观众聚集在一起，亲眼目睹水晶球的落下，但如果你梦想成为其中一员，事先警告：这里没有卫生间，为了看得更清楚，你可能需要在下午3点左右抢到你的位置，并开始等待)”可知，喜欢看水晶球降落的人需要考虑观看位置，故选B。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Then, during “first footing”, friends and family visit each other after mid-night to become the first to set foot in each others’ homes in the new year.(然后，在“第一次踏足”期间，朋友和家人在午夜后互相拜访，成为新的一年里第一个踏上彼此家的人)”可知，新年前夜苏格兰人可能会欢迎第一位踏进家门的客人，故选C。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Estonians sometimes swallow 12 meals on the last day of the year.(爱沙尼亚人有时会在一年的最后一天吞下12顿饭)”可知，爱沙尼亚人有在新年前夜暴饮暴食的传统，故选B。 B When I was young, my dreams were simple. I wanted a dog, a house with stairs, and a four-door station wagon. I used to say I wanted to be a pediatrician (儿科医生) — not because I truly understood what it meant, but because it sounded impressive to adults. I was ambitious, though I didn’t know exactly where I was headed. Looking back now, I find it odd that adults ask children, “What do you want to be when you grow up?” It seems as if growing up is finite and at some point you become something and that’s the end. My life has taken many forms. I’ve been a lawyer, a hospital executive, and a charity initiator helping young people. I’ve been a wife, a painful daughter, and a mother learning as I go. And, for eight years, I was the leader of an international nonprofit organization — a role that brought unique challenges and opportunities, humbling and empowering me in equal measure. The experience of working for the UN allowed me to see the world in its extremes. I visited state-of-the-art offices and met small-business owners who had lost everything in economic downturns, grateful for a steady income. I encountered dishonesty and shallowness but also met incredible innovators, dedicated employees, and young entrepreneurs (企业家) whose passion and optimism reminded me of what truly matters. I learned to manage public opinion, whether it was criticism of my business decisions or rumors (传闻) about my management style. Through it all, I focused on staying true to myself, grounded by the values my mentors (导师) taught me: work hard, think strategically, and honor your journey. Now, I’m beginning a new chapter. My family recently moved into a modern apartment not far from our office, decorated with items that remind us of our achievements. As I sat on the balcony, watching my children play, I realized that my children are growing into independent individuals. My family is finding their rhythm in a new adventure. And I’m here, enjoying these small, quiet moments and thinking about the stories I still want to tell. 4. Why did the author want to be a pediatrician as a child? A. She was always there to assist. B. She had a passion for medicine. C. It meant more responsibilities. D. It would make adults admire her. 5. What does the author imply in paragraph 2? A. Childhood dreams are rarely fulfilled. B. People should have lifelong ambitions. C. Life involves constant change and growth. D. Adults are unsure about their own future. 6. What belief did working for the UN give the author? A. Avoid public opinion at all costs. B. Seek external recognition for success. C. Consider gaining wealth and social status. D. Stay true to herself against challenges. 7. What mood does the author mainly convey in the last paragraph? A. Ambitious. B. Reflective. C. Anxious. D. Stressed. 【答案】4. D 5. C 6. D 7. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文，作者讲述了自己的多种职业体验以及获得的成长。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“I used to say I wanted to be a pediatrician (儿科医生) — not because I truly understood what it meant, but because it sounded impressive to adults.(我曾经说过我想成为一名儿科医生——不是因为我真正理解它的含义，而是因为它对成年人来说听起来令人印象深刻)”可知，作者儿时想成为儿科医生是因为那会让大人赞赏他，故选D。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“My life has taken many forms. I’ve been a lawyer, a hospital executive, and a charity initiator helping young people. I’ve been a wife, a painful daughter, and a mother learning as I go. And, for eight years, I was the leader of an international nonprofit organization — a role that brought unique challenges and opportunities, humbling and empowering me in equal measure.(我的生活有多种形式。我做过律师、医院主管，还做过帮助年轻人的慈善发起人。我做过妻子，做过痛苦的女儿，做过不断学习的母亲。8年来，我一直是一家国际非营利组织的领导人，这个角色给我带来了独特的挑战和机遇，让我感到谦卑，同时也赋予了我力量)”可知，作者做过很多职业和角色，也从中获得了成长，故作者暗示了生活包含不断的变化和成长，故选C。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句“Through it all, I focused on staying true to myself, grounded by the values my mentors (导师) taught me: work hard, think strategically, and honor your journey.(在整个过程中，我专注于做真实的自己，以我的导师教给我的价值观为基础：努力工作，战略性思考，尊重你的旅程)”可知，在联合国工作教给作者的信念是面对挑战要忠于自己，故选D。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“As I sat on the balcony, watching my children play, I realized that my children are growing into independent individuals. My family is finding their rhythm in a new adventure. And I’m here, enjoying these small, quiet moments and thinking about the stories I still want to tell.(当我坐在阳台上，看着我的孩子们玩耍时，我意识到我的孩子们正在成长为独立的个体。我的家人在新的冒险中找到了自己的节奏。我在这里，享受着这些安静的小时光，想着我还想讲的故事)”可知，作者在最后一段主要表达了反思的情绪，故选B。 C Focusing on eating disorders, an exhibition at the Shanghai Mental Health Center has been displaying the drawings and clay works of eating disorder sufferers as art therapy. These works reveal their complex emotions towards food, with a mixture of dependence, resistance, longing, and fear. The exhibition aims to help the public better understand the diseases and show more tolerance and care. Chen Jue, director of the Eating Disorders Treatment Center of SMHC, says that there is still much misunderstanding towards eating disorders. “People simply perceive such patients as those who don’t eat well, make a fuss about diets and go to extremes in losing weight.” However, eating disorders are physiological (生理性的) disorders that are closely related to psychological factors. The number of female patients suffering from eating disorders is universally far higher than male. A 19-year-old woman who finally ended her two-year fight with anorexia (厌食症) says that a main factor is that social culture puts more pressure on women in terms of appearance. In 2022, as high as 77 percent of anorexia patients hospitalized at the EDTC were younger than 18. People between 13 and 20 years old are the most affected by anorexia. “Children nowadays are brought into proximity with the internet world at an early age. People tend to beautify their photos to make their faces and bodies slimmer,” says Chen. “Also, they will hear adults talking about going on diets and losing weight quite often. Gradually, they’ll form a concept that a slim figure means beauty, attention and self-discipline.” she adds. The exhibition is harvesting goodwill from the public. “The gallery allowed me to learn for the first time that patients with eating disorders are enduring hardships. I feel that they are very brave and hope they can recover soon.” reads a message in the message book. Zhang Qinwen, who participated in designing the exhibition and was once a patient for years herself, hopes the public can understand the essence of eating disorders through the form of art, but not ignore the pain due to the artistic expressions. 8. What is the purpose of the exhibition? A. To raise the awareness of the public. B. To show the artistic talent of sufferers. C. To promote art therapy among patients. D. To display various artworks on anorexia. 9. What is the main cause of eating disorder among females? A. Working burden. B. Strong urge to diet. C. Weaker self-control. D. Social appearance pressure. 10. What do the underlined words “brought into proximity with” mean in paragraph 4? A. Seriously warned of. B. Constantly exposed to. C. Hardly influenced by. D. Completely separated from. 11. How can we describe the exhibition from the last paragraph? A. Well-received. B. Highly-profitable. C. Terribly-exhausting. D. Time-consuming. 【答案】8. A 9. D 10. B 11. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文，文章主要介绍了上海市精神卫生中心举办的以“进食障碍”为主题的展览。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“The exhibition aims to help the public better understand the diseases and show more tolerance and care.(该展览旨在帮助公众更好地了解疾病，并表现出更多的宽容和关怀)”可知，该展览的目的是提高公众的意识，故选A。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“A 19-year-old woman who finally ended her two-year fight with anorexia (厌食症) says that a main factor is that social culture puts more pressure on women in terms of appearance.(一名19岁的女性终于结束了与厌食症长达两年的抗争，她说，主要原因是社会文化对女性的外表施加了更大的压力)”可知，女性进食障碍的主要原因是来自社会外表方面的压力，故选D。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线部分上文“People between 13 and 20 years old are the most affected by anorexia.(13到20岁的人最容易被厌食症影响)”和下文“People tend to beautify their photos to make their faces and bodies slimmer(人们倾向于美化他们的照片，使他们的脸和身体更苗条)”可知，13岁到20岁的人最容易被厌食症影响，说明他们不断地接触到网络，被网络上人们美化过的照片所影响，故此处意为“现在的孩子在很小的时候就接触到了网络世界”，brought into proximity with意为“不断地接触到”，故选B。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“The exhibition is harvesting goodwill from the public. “The gallery allowed me to learn for the first time that patients with eating disorders are enduring hardships. I feel that they are very brave and hope they can recover soon.” reads a message in the message book.(这次展览获得了公众的好感。“画廊让我第一次了解到进食障碍患者正在忍受痛苦。我觉得他们很勇敢，希望他们能早日康复。”留言簿上的一条留言写道)”可知，该展览很好地为人们所接受，故选A。 D Stanford University has recently conducted a remarkable study that may hold the key to renewing the aging brain. The research, published in the renowned journal Nature, focused on the GLUT4 gene. In the normal aging process, neural stem cells (干细胞) in the brain, which are responsible for generating new neurons (神经元), gradually lose their activity. This decline leads to a reduction in the production of new neurons, subsequently resulting in a worsening memory and an increased risk of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s. The Stanford team, led by Professor Anne Brunet, set out to explore ways to change this trend. Using the powerful CRISPR gene-editing technology, the researchers screened 300 genes related to the activity of neural stem cells in mice. This was a painstaking and time-consuming task that required thorough attention to detail. After a complex process of removal and confirmation, they eventually identified the GLUT4 gene. This gene plays a crucial role in transporting glucose (葡萄糖) into cells. Interestingly, in the aged brain, neural stem cells are surrounded by high levels of glucose, which might be the cause of their inactivity. To test their theory, the dedicated research team attentively knocked out the GLUT4 gene in the brains of old mice. Astonishingly, after a few weeks of close observation and detailed analysis, they observed a remarkable doubling in the number of new neurons in the olfactory bulbs (嗅球) of these mice. This unexpected yet significant finding strongly suggests that by precisely regulating glucose levels, it is potentially possible to effectively reactivate the neural stem cells in the aging brain and powerfully stimulate the generation of new neurons. This research not only opens up new avenues for the development of drugs and gene treatments aimed at promoting neuronal regeneration in the aged or damaged brain but also implies that simple lifestyle advice, such as a low-carbohydrate (碳水化合物) diet, might potentially activate neural stem cells. It is a significant step forward in our understanding of brain health and offers hope for maintaining cognitive function in the elderly. 12. What was the motivation of the Stanford researchers? A. To prove neural stem cell decline is unavoidable. B. To find ways to speed up the normal aging process. C. To turn around the trend of neural stem cells decline. D. To study the working behavior of neurons in the brain. 13. What is the function of the GLUT4 gene? A. It affects the delivery of glucose in cells. B. It decreases the number of anti-aging cells. C. It changes the structure of neural stem cells. D. It keeps neural stem cells from some diseases. 14. What is paragraph 4 mainly about? A. The relationship between diet and new neurons. B. The process of observing new neurons in old mice. C. The application of the GLUT4 gene in medical fields. D. The experiment to test the assumption about GLUT4 gene. 15. Why is a low-carbohydrate diet mentioned in paragraph 5? A. To unlock the secret of the aging brain. B. To show an application of the new research. C. To confirm the significance of a healthy diet. D. To demonstrate the drawback of the research. 【答案】12. C 13. A 14. D 15. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文，文章主要介绍了斯坦福大学的一项研究，研究发现衰老神经干细胞内部和周围葡萄糖水平的升高可能是导致它们不活跃的原因，通过精确调节葡萄糖水平，有可能有效地重新激活老化大脑中的神经干细胞，以促进新神经元生长。它表明未来有可能开发相关药物和方法来刺激衰老或受伤大脑中的神经干细胞重新生长神经元。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“In the normal aging process, neural stem cells (干细胞)in the brain, which are responsible for generating new neurons (神经元), gradually lose their activity. This decline leads to a reduction in the production of new neurons, subsequently resulting in a worsening memory and an increased risk of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s. The Stanford team, led by Professor Anne Brunet, set out to explore ways to change this trend.(在正常的衰老过程中，大脑中负责产生新神经元的神经干细胞逐渐失去活性。这种衰退导致新神经元的产生减少，随后导致记忆力恶化，患阿尔茨海默氏症和帕金森病等神经退行性疾病的风险增加。由Anne Brunet教授领导的斯坦福大学研究小组开始探索改变这一趋势的方法。)”可知，在衰老过程中，神经干细胞衰退导致记忆力恶化，患神经性疾病的风险增加，斯坦福的这项研究动机是扭转神经干细胞衰退的趋势，故选C。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“This gene plays a crucial role in transporting glucose (葡萄糖) into cells.(这个基因在将葡萄糖运输到细胞中起着至关重要的作用)”可知，GLUT4基因的功能是影响细胞中葡萄糖的运输，故选A。 【14题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第四段内容“To test their theory, the dedicated research team attentively knocked out the GLUT4 gene in the brains of old mice. Astonishingly, after a few weeks of close observation and detailed analysis, they observed a remarkable doubling in the number of new neurons in the olfactory bulbs (嗅球) of these mice. This unexpected yet significant finding strongly suggests that by precisely regulating glucose levels, it is potentially possible to effectively reactivate the neural stem cells in the aging brain and powerfully stimulate the generation of new neurons.(为了验证他们的理论，这个专门的研究小组仔细地敲除了老年小鼠大脑中的GLUT4基因。令人惊讶的是，经过几周的密切观察和详细分析，他们观察到这些老鼠嗅球中新神经元的数量显著增加了一倍。这一意想不到但意义重大的发现强烈表明，通过精确调节葡萄糖水平，有可能有效地重新激活老化大脑中的神经干细胞，并有力地刺激新神经元的产生)”可知，本段主要是关于验证GLUT4基因假设的实验，故选D。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段中“This research not only opens up new avenues for the development of drugs and gene treatments aimed at promoting neuronal regeneration in the aged or damaged brain but also implies that simple lifestyle advice, such as a low-carbohydrate (碳水化合物) diet, might potentially activate neural stem cells.(这项研究不仅为开发药物和旨在促进衰老或受损大脑中的神经元再生的基因治疗开辟了新的途径，而且还意味着简单的生活方式建议，如低碳水化合物饮食，可能会激活神经干细胞)”可知，该研究表明简单的生活方式，如低碳水化合物饮食，可能会激活神经干细胞，故本段提到低碳水化合物饮食是为了展示该项新研究的一个应用，故选B。 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。 Parenting can feel like a series of moments of emotional struggle, from a small child’s emotional explosion to teenage outbursts and everything in between. ____16____ Instead of seeing yourself as a frustrated parent, consider yourself as your children’s emotional regulation coach, which will reduce stress and your child’s reactivity. Viewing yourself as an emotion coach redefines your role. See the emotional outbursts not as failures of your parenting but as opportunities for guidance. ____17____ By teaching your children to handle difficult emotions, you are showing them that you’re a safe person they can rely on. Thus, you create a supportive space for emotional learning. Just imagine your 6-year-old, Sam. He melts down in the middle of the grocery store because he can’t have a toy he spotted. Your instinct might be frustration, embarrassment, or a desire to get him to stop by offering something he wants. ____18____ Instead of reacting, you might take a deep breath, bend down to Sam’s level and say, “I can see you’re disappointed. I feel disappointed sometimes, too.” ____19____ You’re showing him that while his feelings are valid, there are ways to express them respectfully. This shows emotions are manageable and not something to fear. As an emotion coach, you aren’t punishing your child for their reaction or shutting down their feelings. Instead, you’re guiding him to recognize and handle his emotions, laying the groundwork for better emotional resilience (适应力). The more you practice this, the more your child learns to manage these emotions independently. ____20____ A. This will make your life less stressful. B. It is crucial to show the value of belief. C. You’re more likely to ignore their outbursts. D So why not make a change to ease these tensions? E. But, as his emotion coach, you can shift your response. F. It will help you step back from your children’s behavior. G. By doing this, you’re modeling how to process emotions calmly. 【答案】16. D 17. F 18. E 19. G 20. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。为人父母的感觉就像是一系列情感挣扎的瞬间，从幼儿的情感爆发到青少年的爆发，以及中间的一切。但是我们可以做出一些改变来缓解这些情感挣扎。文章主要介绍了一些方法。 【16题详解】 上文“Parenting can feel like a series of moments of emotional struggle, from a small child’s emotional explosion to teenage outbursts and everything in between.(为人父母的感觉就像是一系列情感挣扎的瞬间，从幼儿的情感爆发到青少年的爆发，以及中间的一切。)”指出为人父母的感觉就像是一系列情感挣扎的瞬间，下文“Instead of seeing yourself as a frustrated parent, consider yourself as your children’s emotional regulation coach, which will reduce stress and your child’s reactivity.(不要把自己看作是一个沮丧的父母，而是要把自己看作是你孩子的情绪调节教练，这将减少压力和你孩子的反应性)”指出父母应该如何缓解这些一些列的情感挣扎，由此可知，空处应该承上启下，指出我们可以缓解这些情感挣扎，D项“那么，为什么不进行更改以缓解这些紧张局势呢？”符合，故选D。 【17题详解】 上文“Viewing yourself as an emotion coach redefines your role. See the emotional outbursts not as failures of your parenting but as opportunities for guidance.(将自己视为情感教练可以重新定义你的角色。将情感爆发不要视为育儿的失败，而是作为指导的机会。)”指出我们应该在育儿方面的正确做法，空处承接上文，指出这些做法的好处，F项“这将帮助你退一步看待孩子的行为。”符合，故选F。 【18题详解】 上文“Just imagine your 6-year-old, Sam.

Old Lady Hayes deserved it. She often screamed at us for “borrowing” some roses from her garden. Well, she had it coming. At least, that’s the way we saw it as George finished tying the string to the red, heart-shaped box. We giggled(咯咯笑)as Ron added the final touch: two plastic red roses, glued to the lid. George practiced pulling the box by the string. I couldn’t wait to see it fly away when she tried to pick it up. I was the first to notice my dad in the doorway. I froze. Within seconds, my anxiety was shared by all. Dad walked slowly to the empty candy box. He picked it up, and watched it swing back and forth. Then he looked into the eyes of the frightened boys. “It doesn’t seem so long ago that I was playing Valentine’s Day jokes.” he said. “One year my cousins and I decided to pull one on our grandma even though we loved her. We just wanted to have some fun. We tiptoed to her doorstep and drew a gift there with red paint. Then we kicked the door and hid behind the bushes. When Grandma finally appeared, she looked down and reached for the fresh paint. Slowly, she figured out our joke. She smiled, absently wiping red paint on her clean and white apron(围裙).”Dad paused and for the first time I noticed that his eyes were wet. “Grandma died later that year. I never had another chance to give her a real Valentine.” Later that night a red heart-shaped box was placed on Mrs. Hayes’ front doorstep. As we hid behind the bushes, the cool night air wrapped around us, adding a chill to our excitement. “Do you think she’ll scream?” I whispered. “Maybe she’ll think it’s a real gift this time,” George replied, trying to hold back his giggles. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Just then, we heard the door click open. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Hearing the giggles, Mrs Hayes walked up to the bushes. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Just then, we heard the door click open. Out came Mrs. Hayes with a lamp in her hand. When her eye fell on the red, heart-shaped box, she leaned closer with a mixture of confusion and excitement. Driven by curiosity, she reached out her hand, picked it up and opened it with trembling hands. On seeing the candy, she could hardly contain her joy. A broad smile spread over her face. Seeing the surprise and happiness in her eyes, we couldn’t help giggling, covering our mouths with hands. Hearing the giggles Mrs Hayes looked up at the bushes. We had nowhere to hide, so we jumped out of the bushes, yelling “Happy Valentine’s Day!”. She stood rooted to the spot, speechless with surprise. Recovering from the shock, she walked to us and hugged us tightly, saying “Thank you all!” with tears of happiness welling up in her eyes. At the same time, a great wave of warmth swept over us. The box of candy would be treasured as it was a reminder of an amazing Valentine’s Day. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了“我们”原本打算对经常因“我们”摘她花园里的玫瑰而冲“我们”尖叫的海斯老太太搞一个情人节恶作剧，但是爸爸讲述了他小时候对奶奶搞恶作剧，结果奶奶当年去世，自己没机会再给奶奶一个真正的情人节礼物的故事，让“我们”改变了主意，给海斯老太太送了一个真正的装有糖果的情人节礼物。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“就在这时，我们听到门咔哒一声开了。”可知，第一段可描写海斯老太太开门看到礼物后的反应，以及“我们”看到她反应后的表现。 ②由第二段首句内容“听到咯咯的笑声，海斯太太朝灌木丛走来。”可知，第二段可描写海斯太太发现“我们”后的情景，以及“我们”和海斯太太之间温馨的互动，最后升华主题。 2.续写线索：开门看到礼物 —— 惊喜开心 ——“我们” 忍不住笑 —— 海斯太太发现 “我们”—— 拥抱感谢 —— 礼物成为美好回忆 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①看到：see /catch sight of /set eyes on ②忍不住：can't help doing /can hardly resist doing ③拥抱：hug /embrace 情绪类 ①惊讶：surprise /astonishment/amazement ②开心：joy /happiness/delight 【点睛】[高分句型1] When her eye fell on the red, heart-shaped box, she leaned closer with a mixture of confusion and excitement.（使用了when引导的时间状语从句） [高分句型2] Recovering from the shock, she walked to us and hugged us tightly, saying “Thank you all!” with tears of happiness welling up in her eyes.（使用了现在分词作状语） 听力答案：1-5 ACACC 6-10 AAABB 11-15 ACCBB 16-20 ACACB 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 高三英语试题 注意事项： 1. 答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、考生号等填写在答题卡和试卷指定位置上。 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. 全部答案在答题卡上完成，答在试卷上无效。 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.

Close to 60,000 audience gather to see the ball drop in person, but if being one of them is on your dream list, be forewarned: There are no bathrooms, and to get a good view, you’ll likely need to grab your spot and start holding it around 3 p.m. New Year’s Eve in Scotland is known as Hogmanay. The Scots stretch it into a three-day celebration starting with a parade through Edinburgh on Dec. 30, followed by a housecleaning known as the redding. Then, during “first footing”, friends and family visit each other after mid-night to become the first to set foot in each others’ homes in the new year. For good luck, the first visitor should be a tall, dark-haired man, carrying shortbread, whisky and a lump of coal. So if you find coal in your Christmas stocking, ship it to your friends in Scotland to use a few days later. Greeks smash pomegranates (石榴), which symbolize renewal in their culture, for New Year’s celebration. But perhaps an even more unusual practice is waking up children on Jan. 1 by tapping them on the head with an onion. It’s considered good luck in many Spanish-speaking nations to eat 12 grapes at midnight — one with each clock strike — on Jan.1. Estonians sometimes swallow 12 meals on the last day of the year. Germans go for marzipan shaped like pigs, thanks to the phrase “schwein gehabt”, which means having good luck. And the French eat crepes, representing the sun, in hopes of brighter days and prosperity in the new year, although they do it slightly later, on Feb. 2, during a festival called La Chandeleur. 1. What should be considered by the geodesic ball drop enthusiasts? A. Personal safety. B. Viewing location. C. Weather conditions. D. Transportation options. 2. What might people do on the last night of the year in Scotland? A. Dress up as a coal man. B. Participate in the redding. C. Welcome the first guest. D. Watch the Edinburgh show. 3. Which country has a tradition of overeating on New Year’s Eve? A. Greece. B. Estonia. C. Germany. D. France. B When I was young, my dreams were simple. I wanted a dog, a house with stairs, and a four-door station wagon. I used to say I wanted to be a pediatrician (儿科医生) — not because I truly understood what it meant, but because it sounded impressive to adults. I was ambitious, though I didn’t know exactly where I was headed. Looking back now, I find it odd that adults ask children, “What do you want to be when you grow up?” It seems as if growing up is finite and at some point you become something and that’s the end. My life has taken many forms. I’ve been a lawyer, a hospital executive, and a charity initiator helping young people. I’ve been a wife, a painful daughter, and a mother learning as I go. And, for eight years, I was the leader of an international nonprofit organization — a role that brought unique challenges and opportunities, humbling and empowering me in equal measure. The experience of working for the UN allowed me to see the world in its extremes. I visited state-of-the-art offices and met small-business owners who had lost everything in economic downturns, grateful for a steady income. I encountered dishonesty and shallowness but also met incredible innovators, dedicated employees, and young entrepreneurs (企业家) whose passion and optimism reminded me of what truly matters. I learned to manage public opinion, whether it was criticism of my business decisions or rumors (传闻) about my management style. Through it all, I focused on staying true to myself, grounded by the values my mentors (导师) taught me: work hard, think strategically, and honor your journey. Now, I’m beginning a new chapter. My family recently moved into a modern apartment not far from our office, decorated with items that remind us of our achievements. As I sat on the balcony, watching my children play, I realized that my children are growing into independent individuals. My family is finding their rhythm in a new adventure. And I’m here, enjoying these small, quiet moments and thinking about the stories I still want to tell. 4. Why did the author want to be a pediatrician as a child? A. She was always there to assist. B. She had a passion for medicine. C. It meant more responsibilities. D. It would make adults admire her. 5. What does the author imply in paragraph 2? A. Childhood dreams are rarely fulfilled. B. People should have lifelong ambitions. C. Life involves constant change and growth. D. Adults are unsure about their own future. 6. What belief did working for the UN give the author? A. Avoid public opinion at all costs. B. Seek external recognition for success. C. Consider gaining wealth and social status. D. Stay true to herself against challenges. 7. What mood does the author mainly convey in the last paragraph? A. Ambitious. B. Reflective. C. Anxious. D. Stressed. C Focusing on eating disorders, an exhibition at the Shanghai Mental Health Center has been displaying the drawings and clay works of eating disorder sufferers as art therapy. These works reveal their complex emotions towards food, with a mixture of dependence, resistance, longing, and fear. The exhibition aims to help the public better understand the diseases and show more tolerance and care. Chen Jue, director of the Eating Disorders Treatment Center of SMHC, says that there is still much misunderstanding towards eating disorders. “People simply perceive such patients as those who don’t eat well, make a fuss about diets and go to extremes in losing weight.” However, eating disorders are physiological (生理性的) disorders that are closely related to psychological factors. The number of female patients suffering from eating disorders is universally far higher than male. A 19-year-old woman who finally ended her two-year fight with anorexia (厌食症) says that a main factor is that social culture puts more pressure on women in terms of appearance. In 2022, as high as 77 percent of anorexia patients hospitalized at the EDTC were younger than 18. People between 13 and 20 years old are the most affected by anorexia. “Children nowadays are brought into proximity with the internet world at an early age. People tend to beautify their photos to make their faces and bodies slimmer,” says Chen. “Also, they will hear adults talking about going on diets and losing weight quite often. Gradually, they’ll form a concept that a slim figure means beauty, attention and self-discipline.” she adds. The exhibition is harvesting goodwill from the public. “The gallery allowed me to learn for the first time that patients with eating disorders are enduring hardships. I feel that they are very brave and hope they can recover soon.” reads a message in the message book. Zhang Qinwen, who participated in designing the exhibition and was once a patient for years herself, hopes the public can understand the essence of eating disorders through the form of art, but not ignore the pain due to the artistic expressions. 8. What is the purpose of the exhibition? A. To raise the awareness of the public. B. To show the artistic talent of sufferers. C To promote art therapy among patients. D. To display various artworks on anorexia. 9. What is the main cause of eating disorder among females? A. Working burden. B. Strong urge to diet. C. Weaker self-control. D. Social appearance pressure. 10. What do the underlined words “brought into proximity with” mean in paragraph 4? A. Seriously warned of. B. Constantly exposed to. C. Hardly influenced by. D. Completely separated from. 11. How can we describe the exhibition from the last paragraph? A. Well-received. B. Highly-profitable. C. Terribly-exhausting. D. Time-consuming. D Stanford University has recently conducted a remarkable study that may hold the key to renewing the aging brain. The research, published in the renowned journal Nature, focused on the GLUT4 gene. In the normal aging process, neural stem cells (干细胞) in the brain, which are responsible for generating new neurons (神经元), gradually lose their activity. This decline leads to a reduction in the production of new neurons, subsequently resulting in a worsening memory and an increased risk of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s. The Stanford team, led by Professor Anne Brunet, set out to explore ways to change this trend. Using the powerful CRISPR gene-editing technology, the researchers screened 300 genes related to the activity of neural stem cells in mice. This was a painstaking and time-consuming task that required thorough attention to detail. After a complex process of removal and confirmation, they eventually identified the GLUT4 gene. This gene plays a crucial role in transporting glucose (葡萄糖) into cells. Interestingly, in the aged brain, neural stem cells are surrounded by high levels of glucose, which might be the cause of their inactivity. To test their theory, the dedicated research team attentively knocked out the GLUT4 gene in the brains of old mice. Astonishingly, after a few weeks of close observation and detailed analysis, they observed a remarkable doubling in the number of new neurons in the olfactory bulbs (嗅球) of these mice. This unexpected yet significant finding strongly suggests that by precisely regulating glucose levels, it is potentially possible to effectively reactivate the neural stem cells in the aging brain and powerfully stimulate the generation of new neurons. This research not only opens up new avenues for the development of drugs and gene treatments aimed at promoting neuronal regeneration in the aged or damaged brain but also implies that simple lifestyle advice, such as a low-carbohydrate (碳水化合物) diet, might potentially activate neural stem cells. It is a significant step forward in our understanding of brain health and offers hope for maintaining cognitive function in the elderly. 12. What was the motivation of the Stanford researchers? A. To prove neural stem cell decline is unavoidable. B. To find ways to speed up the normal aging process. C. To turn around the trend of neural stem cells decline. D.

Viewing yourself as an emotion coach redefines your role. See the emotional outbursts not as failures of your parenting but as opportunities for guidance. ____17____ By teaching your children to handle difficult emotions, you are showing them that you’re a safe person they can rely on. Thus, you create a supportive space for emotional learning. Just imagine your 6-year-old, Sam. He melts down in the middle of the grocery store because he can’t have a toy he spotted. Your instinct might be frustration, embarrassment, or a desire to get him to stop by offering something he wants. ____18____ Instead of reacting, you might take a deep breath, bend down to Sam’s level and say, “I can see you’re disappointed. I feel disappointed sometimes, too.” ____19____ You’re showing him that while his feelings are valid, there are ways to express them respectfully. This shows emotions are manageable and not something to fear. As an emotion coach, you aren’t punishing your child for their reaction or shutting down their feelings. Instead, you’re guiding him to recognize and handle his emotions, laying the groundwork for better emotional resilience (适应力). The more you practice this, the more your child learns to manage these emotions independently. ____20____ A. This will make your life less stressful. B. It is crucial to show the value of belief. C. You’re more likely to ignore their outbursts. D. So why not make a change to ease these tensions? E. But, as his emotion coach, you can shift your response. F. It will help you step back from your children’s behavior. G. By doing this, you’re modeling how to process emotions calmly. 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四个选项中选出最佳选项。 I belong to a poor family from a small remote village where we have no college, or university.

Old Lady Hayes deserved it. She often screamed at us for “borrowing” some roses from her garden. Well, she had it coming. At least, that’s the way we saw it as George finished tying the string to the red, heart-shaped box. We giggled(咯咯笑)as Ron added the final touch: two plastic red roses, glued to the lid. George practiced pulling the box by the string. I couldn’t wait to see it fly away when she tried to pick it up. I was the first to notice my dad in the doorway. I froze. Within seconds, my anxiety was shared by all. Dad walked slowly to the empty candy box. He picked it up, and watched it swing back and forth. Then he looked into the eyes of the frightened boys. “It doesn’t seem so long ago that I was playing Valentine’s Day jokes.” he said. “One year my cousins and I decided to pull one on our grandma even though we loved her. We just wanted to have some fun. We tiptoed to her doorstep and drew a gift there with red paint. Then we kicked the door and hid behind the bushes. When Grandma finally appeared, she looked down and reached for the fresh paint. Slowly, she figured out our joke. She smiled, absently wiping red paint on her clean and white apron(围裙).”Dad paused and for the first time I noticed that his eyes were wet. “Grandma died later that year. I never had another chance to give her a real Valentine.” Later that night a red heart-shaped box was placed on Mrs. Hayes’ front doorstep. As we hid behind the bushes, the cool night air wrapped around us, adding a chill to our excitement. “Do you think she’ll scream?” I whispered. “Maybe she’ll think it’s a real gift this time,” George replied, trying to hold back his giggles. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Just then, we heard the door click open. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Hearing the giggles, Mrs Hayes walked up to the bushes. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 听力答案：1-5 ACACC 6-10 AAABB 11-15 ACCBB 16-20 ACACB 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
