The travel company has attributed this rise in popularity to “noctourism” — short for nocturnal tourism — where people are seeking holidays that include experiences after the sky turns dark. Apart from Norway, here are three other locations which are offering equally breathtaking nighttime experiences. ·Bryce Canyon National Park, USA Passionate stargazers from across the globe flock to Bryce Canyon National Park in Utah, USA every year in the hope of getting a glimpse of one of its dazzling star displays. The sprawling (延伸的) reserve’ s high altitude, clean air and remote location allows the cosmic displays to really shine. This breathtaking park is open 24 hours a day and the best time of year to travel is between June and August. ·Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon, Iceland This special lagoon is a honeypot for photographers as the magnificent red, green, blue and purple auroras (极光) reflect against the water and the ice. The best chance of seeing this incredible light phenomenon dance through the sky is between 9 pm and 3 am from early September until mid-April. The drive from Reykjavík to Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon takes around five to six hours, but you can stop at other attractions along the way. ·Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park, South Africa By day, visitors are laser-focused on the ground of Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park to spot their favourite safari (游猎) animals, but by night all attention rises to its spectacular skies. Its off-grid (离网的) location provides an ideal still environment for astronomy to sparkle. If you travel during the dry season (from June to August) you will be rewarded with some cleanest night skies. 1. What is the main reason for the increase in popularity of Tromso, Norway as a tourist destination? A. Improved accommodation options. B. Its breathtaking natural scenery. C. The great nighttime experience. D. Increased room booking. 2. If planning a holiday for noctourism in July, you’d better choose ______. A. Tromso in Norway and Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon B. Bryce Canyon National Park and Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon C. Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon and Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park D. Bryce Canyon National Park and Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park 3. Where is the text most likely to have been published? A. In a science journal. B. On a wildlife website. C. In a travel guidebook. D. In a fashion magazine. 【答案】1. C 2. D 3. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文，介绍了“夜间旅游”的兴起以及除挪威外的另外三处适合夜间旅游的目的地。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“The travel company has attributed this rise in popularity to “noctourism” — short for nocturnal tourism — where people are seeking holidays that include experiences after the sky turns dark.(这家旅游公司将这种受欢迎程度的上升归因于‘夜间旅游’——夜间进行的旅游的缩写形式——人们正在寻求包含天黑后的体验的假期)”可知，挪威特罗姆瑟作为旅游目的地越来越受欢迎的主要原因是美妙的夜间体验。故选C。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Bryce Canyon National Park, USA部分中“This breathtaking park is open 24 hours a day and the best time of year to travel is between June and August.(这个令人叹为观止的公园24小时开放，一年中最好的旅游时间是6月到8月)”以及Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park, South Africa部分中“If you travel during the dry season (from June to August) you will be rewarded with some cleanest night skies.(如果你在旱季旅行（从6月到8月），你会得到一些最干净的夜空)”可知，如果计划在7月进行旅游假期，你最好选择布莱斯峡谷国家公园和卡拉加底跨境公园。故选D。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。根据标题“The rise of noctourism — and 3 of the best places to do it(夜间旅游的兴起——以及3个最佳旅游地点)”以及文章关于夜间旅游目的地的介绍可知，这篇文章最有可能出现在“旅游指南”。故选C。 B For hearing-impaired swimmer Peng Huidi, participating in the Chengdu FISU World University Games has been a life-changing experience. Indeed, even though Peng didn’t know it at the time, her journey to the games began in her early childhood in Shandong province. Her hearing was damaged due to a high fever when she was a 2-year-old, with the impairment severely dampening her confidence. She became withdrawn and dared not speak to others. Hoping to bring her out of her shell, Peng’s father took her to the nearest swimming pool. It was there that Peng discovered her passion and her talent was spotted by a coach. Supported by her parents, Peng flourished in the pool while also continuing to study diligently at school. However, balancing her academic and athletic endeavors (努力) proved more challenging when she reached high school. Homework was always followed by pool practice, but with the school and training base over 70 kilometers apart, she admitted the daily commute was exhausted. She has overcome some many difficulties to compete at this level. Coaches have adapted their methods to ensure Peng clearly understands their instructions. Training plans, for instance, are written down for her. During competitions, she cannot hear the starting buzzer (蜂鸣器), so instead she uses a light next to the pool as her signal to start. This means there is usually a delay of between 0.2 and 0.5 seconds in Peng’s dive off the blocks. To close the gap, she needs to train extra hard. Most of our swimmers are hardworking, but the effort that Peng puts in to get here goes way beyond the norm. Apart from pushing her limits in competition, Peng also approached the Chengdu games as a chance to meet new friends. Swimming makes her a more outgoing person. The 19-year-old plans to continue swimming after graduating, and hopes to charge forward as far as possible — in and out of the pool. 4. What can we learn about Peng from the first two paragraphs? A. She is a natural introvert. B. She is a full-time athlete. C. She suffered a lot from hearing loss. D. She had no trouble balancing study and sports. 5. What was the biggest problem facing Peng during competitions? A. Being weaker than others. B. Not hearing the starting buzzer. C. Understanding the coaches’ instructions. D. Balancing her academic and athletic schedules. 6. Which of the following best describes Peng? A. Patient and intelligent. B. Ambitious and talented. C. Creative and open-minded. D. Optimistic and determined. 7. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Overcoming the Odds: Peng’s Life Story B. From Silence to Triumph: Peng’s Swim Story C. Lights, Camera, Action: Peng in the Swimming Pool D. Balancing Studying and Swimming: Peng’s Secret to Success 【答案】4. C 5. B 6. D 7. B 【解析】 【导语】本文为记叙文，叙述了听障泳将彭惠迪的励志故事。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Her hearing was damaged due to a high fever when she was a 2-year-old, with the impairment severely dampening her confidence. She became withdrawn and dared not speak to others.(她两岁时的一次高烧导致听力受损，严重挫伤了她的自信心。她变得孤僻，不敢和别人说话)”可知，彭惠迪深受听力障碍的影响。故选C。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“During competitions, she cannot hear the starting buzzer (蜂鸣器), so instead she uses a light next to the pool as her signal to start. This means there is usually a delay of between 0.2 and 0.5 seconds in Peng’s dive off the blocks.(在比赛中，她听不到起跑铃声，所以她用泳池旁边的灯作为起跑信号。这意味着彭跳下跳台通常会有0.2到0.5秒的延迟)”可知，彭惠迪听不到出发哨声是她比赛期间面临的最大的问题。故选B。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Homework was always followed by pool practice, but with the school and training base over 70 kilometers apart, she admitted the daily commute was exhausted.(我们的大多数游泳运动员都很努力，但彭惠迪为达到这里所付出的努力远远超出了常规)”以及最后一段中的“Peng also approached the Chengdu games as a chance to meet new friends. Swimming makes her a more outgoing person. The 19-year-old plans to continue swimming after graduating, and hopes to charge forward as far as possible — in and out of the pool.(彭惠迪还将成都奥运会视为结识新朋友的机会。游泳使她成为一个更外向的人。这位19岁的年轻人计划毕业后继续游泳，并希望尽可能地向前冲——在泳池内外)”可知，彭惠迪认为游泳也是认识新朋友的渠道，期待未来无论在泳池内外，她都能一往无前，说明她坚定且乐观。故选D。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段“Apart from pushing her limits in competition, Peng also approached the Chengdu games as a chance to meet new friends. Swimming makes her a more outgoing person. The 19-year-old plans to continue swimming after graduating, and hopes to charge forward as far as possible — in and out of the pool.(除了在比赛中突破自己的极限，彭惠迪还将成都奥运会视为结识新朋友的机会。游泳使她成为一个更外向的人。19岁的她计划毕业后继续游泳，并希望尽可能地向前冲——在泳池内外)”结合本篇文章描述的听障泳将彭惠迪克服听力障碍、坚持练习游泳并兼顾学习的故事。故B选项“从沉默到胜利：彭惠迪的游泳故事”最符合文章标题。故选B。 C One day in 1995, a man, named Wheeler, robbed two banks in broad daylight. He didn’t wear a mask and smiled at the camera. Later, police arrested him, but when they showed him the videos, he stared in disbelief. “But I wore the juice,” he mumbled. Apparently, he thought that rubbing lemon juice on his skin would make him invisible to videotape cameras. After all, lemon juice is used as invisible ink. Police concluded that Wheeler was not crazy or on drugs— just incredibly mistaken. This caught the eye of the psychologists David Dunning and Justin Kruger. They reasoned that, while almost everyone holds favourable views of their abilities, some mistakenly assess their abilities as being much higher than they actually are. This “illusion of confidence” is now called the “Dunning-Kruger effect”. In one study, Dunning and Kruger asked undergraduate students a series of questions about grammar, logic and jokes, and then asked each student to estimate his or her score overall, as well as their relative rank compared to the other students. Interestingly, Dunning and Kruger found that high-achievers underestimated their relative competence, while poor-performing students estimated that they had performed better than two-thirds of the other students. The difference is that competent people can and do adjust their self-assessment given appropriate feedback, while incompetent individuals cannot. Sure, it’s typical for people to overestimate their abilities. The problem is that when people are incompetent, not only do they reach wrong conclusions and make unfortunate choices but they are robbed of the ability to realise their mistakes and assess the whole situation. As Charles Darwin wrote: “Ignorance more frequently produces confidence than does knowledge.” Referring to Dunning and Kruger’s research, we may find the key to not ending up like the witless bank robber. Sometimes we try things that lead to favourable outcomes, but other times — like the lemon juice idea — our approaches are imperfect, irrational or just stupid. The trick is to not be fooled by illusions of superiority and to learn to accurately reevaluate our competence. After all, as Confucius reportedly said, real knowledge is knowing the extent of one’s ignorance. 8. What might be the biggest reason for Wheeler’s failed robbery? A. Ineffective lemon juice. B. Police’s arrest. C. His own misjudgment. D. Being caught in the cameras. 9. What is paragraph 3 mainly about? A. An explanation of the Dunning-Kruger effect. B. The underlying logic of the Dunning-Kruger effect. C. The research methods of the Dunning-Kruger effect. D. The psychological reasons behind the Dunning-Kruger effect. 10. Why do some students perform poorly according to Dunning and Kruger’s study? A. Because they refuse to accept their failure. B. Because they are unable to learn from feedback. C. Because they have false assessment about the situation and themselves. D. Because they are always ignorant and regard themselves as know-it-alls. 11. What is the author’s attitude towards Dunning and Kruger’s findings? A. Approving. B. Dismissive. C. Doubtful. D. Unclear. 【答案】8. C 9. A 10. C 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了“邓宁-克鲁格效应”，即能力较差的人往往会高估自己的能力，而能力较强的人则会低估自己的能力。文章通过讲述一个银行抢劫犯的愚蠢行为引出这一概念，并通过研究结果进一步解释了该效应。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Apparently, he thought that rubbing lemon juice on his skin would make him invisible to videotape cameras. After all, lemon juice is used as invisible ink. Police concluded that Wheeler was not crazy or on drugs— just incredibly mistaken(显然，他认为在皮肤上涂抹柠檬汁会使他隐形于录像机前。毕竟，柠檬汁被用作隐形墨水。警方得出结论，Wheeler并没有疯或吸毒——只是大错特错)”可知，Wheeler抢劫失败的最大原因是他自己的错误判断，他认为柠檬汁被用作隐形墨水，也能让自己在录像摄像头前隐形。故选C项。 【9题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段“Interestingly, Dunning and Kruger found that high-achievers underestimated their relative competence, while poor-performing students estimated that they had performed better than two-thirds of the other students. The difference is that competent people can and do adjust their self-assessment given appropriate feedback, while incompetent individuals cannot(有趣的是，邓宁和克鲁格发现，表现优异的学生低估了自己的相对能力，而表现不佳的学生则估计自己的表现比三分之二的其他学生要好。区别在于，有能力的人能够并且会根据适当的反馈调整自我评估，而无能力的人则不能)”可知有能力的人能够并且会根据适当的反馈调整自我评估，而无能力的人则不能，揭示了Dunning-Kruger效应的存在。因此，第三段主要是对Dunning-Kruger效应的解释。故选A项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段“The difference is that competent people can and do adjust their self-assessment given appropriate feedback, while incompetent individuals cannot.(区别在于，有能力的人可以根据适当的反馈调整自我评估，而没有能力的人则不能)”可知，研究表明有能力的人可以根据适当的反馈调整自我评估，而没有能力的人则不能，可推理出表现不佳的学生是因为他们对自己和情况有错误的评估。故选C项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Referring to Dunning and Kruger’s research, we may find the key to not ending up like the witless bank robber(参考邓宁和克鲁格的研究，我们可以找到避免成为愚蠢银行劫匪般人物的关键)”可知邓宁和克鲁格的研究能让我们避免盲目自信，可推理出作者对Dunning和Kruger的研究结果持赞同态度。故选A项。 D Experts have gained deeper insight into why people spontaneously (不由自主地) dance to music. New research suggests the urge to dance to the beat — what some scientists call the “groove experience” — depends on the music’s degree of syncopation, a feature that affects how predictable the rhythm is. Syncopations are rhythmic patterns in which accented or unaccented beats in a melody (旋律) appear in surprising places relative to the standard beat. The more syncopation apiece of music contains, the less accurately you can guess the rhythm of the next few bars as you listen. In a series of experiments with more than 60 participants, cognitive neuroscientist (认知神经学家) Benjamin Morillon of France’ s Aix-Marseille University and his team examined how syncopation relates to the groove experience. In one test, they played 12 different melodies. The main beat was always two hertz(Hz), or roughly two events per second. But the melody’s rhythmic shifts varied so that each tune was played with three different degrees of syncopation. Participants then rated how much they wanted to dance to each track. As Morillon and his colleagues report in Science Advances, a medium degree of syncopation triggered (引发) a strong desire to move to the music. In contrast, neither very high nor low degrees of syncopation had that same result. In other words, people didn’t particularly want to dance to an entirely predictable rhythm or a highly surprising one. “The work reveals why we cannot resist moving in line with the beat when we listen to music with an optimal level of syncopation,” says Benoît Bardy, a movement-science researcher at the University of Montpellier in France. Bardy, who was not involved in the new study, describes it as “a very innovative piece of science”. In addition, the groove experience seems to be all about finding the music’s underlying pulse, the study shows. When a group of participants had to tap their fingers to imagined dance steps, they did so almost exclusively to the basic 2-Hz beat, not to the melody’s rhythm. 12. What determines people’s urge to dance spontaneously to music? A. Surprising rhythmic patterns. B. Imagined dance steps. C. Accurate rhythms. D. Standard beats. 13. What can we learn from the experiments? A. The melody’s rhythmic shifts were the same. B. The participants were all professional dancers. C. Participants rated their desire to dance to different melodies. D. High degrees of syncopation made people want to dance more. 14. What does the underlined word “optimal” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Rarest. B. Moderate. C. Highest. D. Lowest. 15. What might the next paragraph of the text discuss? A. Different types of syncopation. B. How to improve the groove experience in the future. C. Further experiments to explore people’s desire to dance. D. Practical applications of the research in cognitive neuroscience. 【答案】12. A 13. C 14. B 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文为说明文。新的研究表明，人们的律动感知取决于音乐的切分程度。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“New research suggests the urge to dance to the beat — what some scientists call the “groove experience” — depends on the music’s degree of syncopation, a feature that affects how predictable the rhythm is.(新的研究表明，随着节拍跳舞的冲动——一些科学家称之为“节奏体验”——取决于音乐的切分程度，这一特征影响着节奏的可预测性)”以及第二段“Syncopations are rhythmic patterns in which accented or unaccented beats in a melody (旋律) appear in surprising places relative to the standard beat.(切分音是一种节奏模式，在这种节奏模式中，旋律中的重音或非重音节拍相对于标准节拍出现在令人惊讶的地方)”可知，影响人们随着音乐摆动的冲动的是音乐的切分程度，而切分是指旋律中的重音或非重音节拍出现在相对于标准节拍而言出人意料的位置上的节奏模式，令人惊讶的节奏模式影响了人们的不由自主地随着音乐起舞的冲动。故选A。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Participants then rated how much they wanted to dance to each track.(然后，参与者对他们想要随着每首歌曲跳舞的程度进行打分)”可知，参与者对他们随不同旋律跳舞的欲望进行了评分。故选C。 【14题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段“As Morillon and his colleagues report in Science Advances, a medium degree of syncopation triggered (引发) a strong desire to move to the music. In contrast, neither very high nor low degrees of syncopation had that same result.(正如Morillon和他的同事在《科学进展》杂志上所报道的那样，中等程度的切分音引发了人们随着音乐移动的强烈愿望。相比之下，切分音的高低都不会产生同样的结果)”可知，中等程度的切分最能激发人们随着音乐起舞的冲动，所以optimal在这里意为“适中的”，故选B。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“In addition, the groove experience seems to be all about finding the music’s underlying pulse, the study shows. When a group of participants had to tap their fingers to imagined dance steps, they did so almost exclusively to the basic 2-Hz beat, not to the melody’s rhythm.(此外，研究表明，最佳体验似乎都是关于寻找音乐的潜在脉搏。当一组参与者必须用手指敲击想象中的舞步时，他们几乎完全按照2赫兹的基本节拍来做，而不是旋律的节奏)”可知，律动感知似乎完全关乎找到音乐的潜在节拍。接下来文章应该还会继续探讨这个话题。故选C。 第二节 （共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Life disappoints everyone from time to time. When friends experience hardship, they may come to you for help. Supporting someone when they express negative emotions can be healthy to your relationship, because it’s a mood-lifter and trust-builder. However, others get stuck in negativity, constantly complaining about it. ___16___ You may slip into their orbit of pessimism and find yourself complaining too. Here are some tips for relating to habitual complainers while caring for your needs. Use empathy, but be aware of wrestling with it. You don’t have to share the complainer’ s emotional reactions in order to empathize with them. ___17___ “Yes, you sound frustrated; you sound let down. I get how you’re feeling; I’d be frustrated too if I were in that situation.” In other words, you’re not joining the emotion. ___18___ Make a shift. If maintaining a relational moment just isn’t working or is too much of a strain for you you can shift the topic or the scene. It’s strongly recommended that you talk about something else, or walk into another room or an outdoor space. ___19___ Take a break. If all else fails, you can go beyond a boundary and take a break. It doesn’t need to be a forever break; it can just be a break from the conversation. ___20___ Or do it verbally. “I work really hard to keep my own happiness. I love you, but sometimes it’s really hard to listen to you when you are in a complaining mood, and I think that I have to give myself some space right now.” A. You can simply mirror back what you notice. B. But you’re not mentally dismissing it either. C. Being friends with them can be emotionally draining. D. Remember that you are in charge of your emotional reactions. E. The constant complaining indicates that he is habitually unhappy. F. You can do this mentally by remembering you don’t need to engage. G. This may help break up a thought pattern that the complainer is stuck in. 【答案】16. C 17. A 18. B 19. G 20. F 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍的是如何在支持习惯性抱怨的朋友的同时，保护自己的情感健康，避免被负面情绪影响。 【16题详解】 此空前的“However, others get stuck in negativity, constantly complaining about it.(然而，其他人却陷入了消极，不断地抱怨。)”提到有人总是在抱怨，而和这些人做朋友心很累。通过C选项的代词“them”，以及整体句意的推断可知。所以选择项C“Being friends with them can be emotionally draining.(和他们做朋友会让人情绪低落。) ”符合上下文语境。故选C。 【17题详解】 此空后的直接引语“Yes, you sound frustrated; you sound let down. I get how you’re feeling; I’d be frustrated too if I were in that situation.(是的，你听起来很沮丧；你听起来很沮丧。我理解你的感受；如果我处于那种情况，我也会感到沮丧。)”是例子，此空是总结句，而这些直接引语都是建议不要在情感上过多与习惯性抱怨的朋友纠缠，只需要简单地将你看到的反应出来。所以选择项A“You can simply mirror back what you notice.(你可以简单地反应你注意到的东西。)”符合上下文语境。故选A。 【18题详解】 B选项既与此空前的“In other words, you’re not joining the emotion.(换句话说，你没有加入这种情绪。)”逻辑衔接，又呼应该段落的主题句“Use empathy, but be aware of wrestling with it.(运用同理心，但要注意与之搏斗。)”。虽然作者建议我们不要被伥鬼朋友的抱怨所影响，但是我们内心还是要关注他们的。所以选择项B“But you’re not mentally dismissing it either.(但你也没有在精神上忽视它。)”符合上下文语境。故选B。 【19题详解】 空前的“It’s strongly recommended that you talk about something else, or walk into another room or an outdoor space.(强烈建议你谈论别的事情，或者走进另一个房间或户外空间。)”可知，转换话题或场景可能有助于打破抱怨者陷入的思维模式。G选项的“This”指代前句，所以选择项G“This may help break up a thought pattern that the complainer is stuck in.(这可能有助于打破抱怨者陷入的思维模式。)”符合上下文语境。故选G。 【20题详解】 F选项“do this mentally(在心里这样做)”与空后的“Or do it verbally. (或者口头上说。)”呼应，说明或者口头表达，或者在心理上这样做。选择项F“You can do this mentally by remembering you don’t need to engage. (你可以在心里记住你不需要参与。)”符合上下文语境。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。 On the subway home, I said to Hugh, “Why can’t we go on safari?” A month later, we were in an open-sided vehicle, ___21___ by seven lions. None of them seemed to ___22___ us; they groomed (梳毛) themselves and had fun at their leisure. On the ninety-minute ___23___ to our camp, we saw every animal that was in “The Lion King” and then some. They were just there, like ___24___ at a picnic on the grass, except that they were elephants and giraffes. We saw zebras, leopards, wildebeests, and warthogs, all eating or resting or ___25___ on this grass-covered, seemingly limitless plain. “Have you seen a(n) ___26___?” people in other vehicles would ask. “On our first day, we saw a lion eating a wildebeest.” I’d tell them. That was like saying you’d seen one ___27___ a sandwich. It was ___28___ to watch him dive for his prey (猎物), and tear its throat out. But such scenes were ___29___; most of the time, the animals were just following their daily ____30____. The world can be a violent and cruel place, but that’s not the ____31____ you want to carry home with you. Yes, wild animals are often ____32____, but there’s still nature’s beauty to appreciate. Of course, not everyone can ____33____ with elephants, but look at that bird sitting on your feeder and at the spider that ____34____ got trapped in your elevator. We’re all on a(n) ____35____ of one kind or another. 21. A. caught B. attacked C. surrounded D. expected 22 A. wait for B. care about C. take on D. play with 23.

A workmate threw me a dish brush and said, “Let’s get started.” He introduced me to the basics of washing dishes and demonstrated the process. This was the beginning of my part-time job, a new stage where I was both eager to learn and anxious about the challenges ahead. On a Friday night, Aaron swiftly entered the kitchen. “Who has just bused (收拾) the back right table?” he shouted, his voice sharp with urgency. My hands, slippery with bubbles from the bowl I was washing, nearly let it slip through my fingers. I wanted to say I was guilty, but Aaron’s cold stare didn’t promise a happy reward for the guy who admitted. Finally, a mix of fear and my own conscience pushed the response out of my mouth. “I did, Aaron.” “What were you thinking? Get back out here and look at what you missed!” His words forced me forward. I grabbed a rag (抹布) and followed him out to table twenty-two. As we made our way through the restaurant, he said something about rags, but I didn’t hear clearly with other conversations going on around us. I quickly realized the true issue was the mess beneath the table. A nearly full cup of beer had tipped over, creating a small lake on the floor. It was a significant mistake on my part. “Take care of it!” Aaron tuned and stormed off to the front of the restaurant. I dropped down to clean up the beer. That was when another problem occurred. I had brought only one rag. One already wet rag. It did nothing but increase the size of the lake. “More rags,” I thought. Immediately, I rushed into the kitchen and hurriedly grabbed five dry rags, hoping Aaron wouldn’t notice my brief absence. 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。 I had just rushed out when I found Aaron standing in my way. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ After cleaning up the mess, I reflected on Aaron’s words. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 I had just rushed out when I found Aaron standing in my way. “What’s up” he asked sharply, his eyes fixed on me. Feeling the weight of my mistake, I stammered nervously, “I need dry rags...to...clean...” Upon hearing this, Aaron let out a heavy sigh. “You should have checked every detail,” he remarked, a hint of disappointment in his voice. “This job isn’t just about reacting, it’s also about being careful. Now, go clean that up!” Avoiding his gaze, I dashed towards table twenty-two. With an ample supply of rags, I threw myself into the task, tirelessly mopping, scrubbing, and wiping. After cleaning up the mess, I reflected on Aaron’s words. They were sharp but absolutely right. My inexperience and initial anxiety in this new job had led me to overlook crucial details, and I should have been more mindful of my work. Taking a deep breath, I returned to my duties, bearing Aaron’s words in mind. With very dish washed and every table cleared, I made sure to double-check my work. Everything went well and soon I realized this carefulness would not just apply to cleaning; it would influence every aspect of my job, preparing me to embrace any challenge with responsibility and confidence. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者刚入职一家餐馆，经理Aaron要求作者检查每一个细节，但是一天作者因为粗心没有收拾好桌子，当他准备再次准备收拾时，发现自己拿的抹布不够，又再次回去拿抹布，被Aaron再次提醒要注意细节，此次事件让作者明白工作中细心的重要性。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我刚冲出去，就发现亚伦挡了我的路。”可知，第一段可描写作者不细心的情况再次被Aaron看到，以及Aaron对作者的再次告诫。 ②由第二段首句内容“收拾完残局后，我回想起亚伦的话。”可知，第二段可描写作者通过这次事件，获得的感悟。 2. 续写线索：犯错——Aaron指出错误——发现抹布不够——回去拿——被Aaron再次看见——告诫——感悟。 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①全身心地投入到任务中：threw myself into the task/devoted myself to the task/immersed myself in the task ②认识到：realize/comprehend/became aware 情绪类 ①焦虑：anxiety/tension/nervousness ②失望：disappointment/frustration 【点睛】[高分句型1]With very dish washed and every table cleared, I made sure to double-check my work.(with的复合结构) [高分句型2]Everything went well and soon I realized this carefulness would not just apply to cleaning; it would influence every aspect of my job, preparing me to embrace any challenge with responsibility and confidence.(省略that的宾语从句) 听力答案1-5AAABB 6-10CCBCC 11-15AAACB 16-20ABCA 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 长沙市一中2025届高三月考试卷（六） 英语 时量：120分钟 满分：150分 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。 例：How much is the shirt?

The travel company has attributed this rise in popularity to “noctourism” — short for nocturnal tourism — where people are seeking holidays that include experiences after the sky turns dark. Apart from Norway, here are three other locations which are offering equally breathtaking nighttime experiences. ·Bryce Canyon National Park, USA Passionate stargazers from across the globe flock to Bryce Canyon National Park in Utah, USA every year in the hope of getting a glimpse of one of its dazzling star displays. The sprawling (延伸的) reserve’ s high altitude, clean air and remote location allows the cosmic displays to really shine. This breathtaking park is open 24 hours a day and the best time of year to travel is between June and August. ·Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon, Iceland This special lagoon is a honeypot for photographers as the magnificent red, green, blue and purple auroras (极光) reflect against the water and the ice. The best chance of seeing this incredible light phenomenon dance through the sky is between 9 pm and 3 am from early September until mid-April. The drive from Reykjavík to Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon takes around five to six hours, but you can stop at other attractions along the way. ·Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park, South Africa By day, visitors are laser-focused on the ground of Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park to spot their favourite safari (游猎) animals, but by night all attention rises to its spectacular skies. Its off-grid (离网的) location provides an ideal still environment for astronomy to sparkle. If you travel during the dry season (from June to August) you will be rewarded with some cleanest night skies. 1. What is the main reason for the increase in popularity of Tromso, Norway as a tourist destination? A. Improved accommodation options. B. Its breathtaking natural scenery. C. The great nighttime experience. D. Increased room booking. 2. If planning a holiday for noctourism in July, you’d better choose ______. A Tromso in Norway and Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon B. Bryce Canyon National Park and Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon C. Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon and Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park D Bryce Canyon National Park and Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park 3. Where is the text most likely to have been published? A. In a science journal. B. On a wildlife website. C. In a travel guidebook. D. In a fashion magazine. B For hearing-impaired swimmer Peng Huidi, participating in the Chengdu FISU World University Games has been a life-changing experience. Indeed, even though Peng didn’t know it at the time, her journey to the games began in her early childhood in Shandong province. Her hearing was damaged due to a high fever when she was a 2-year-old, with the impairment severely dampening her confidence. She became withdrawn and dared not speak to others. Hoping to bring her out of her shell, Peng’s father took her to the nearest swimming pool. It was there that Peng discovered her passion and her talent was spotted by a coach. Supported by her parents, Peng flourished in the pool while also continuing to study diligently at school. However, balancing her academic and athletic endeavors (努力) proved more challenging when she reached high school. Homework was always followed by pool practice, but with the school and training base over 70 kilometers apart, she admitted the daily commute was exhausted. She has overcome some many difficulties to compete at this level. Coaches have adapted their methods to ensure Peng clearly understands their instructions. Training plans, for instance, are written down for her. During competitions, she cannot hear the starting buzzer (蜂鸣器), so instead she uses a light next to the pool as her signal to start. This means there is usually a delay of between 0.2 and 0.5 seconds in Peng’s dive off the blocks. To close the gap, she needs to train extra hard. Most of our swimmers are hardworking, but the effort that Peng puts in to get here goes way beyond the norm. Apart from pushing her limits in competition, Peng also approached the Chengdu games as a chance to meet new friends. Swimming makes her a more outgoing person. The 19-year-old plans to continue swimming after graduating, and hopes to charge forward as far as possible — in and out of the pool. 4. What can we learn about Peng from the first two paragraphs? A. She is a natural introvert. B. She is a full-time athlete. C. She suffered a lot from hearing loss. D. She had no trouble balancing study and sports. 5. What was the biggest problem facing Peng during competitions? A. Being weaker than others. B. Not hearing the starting buzzer. C. Understanding the coaches’ instructions. D. Balancing her academic and athletic schedules. 6. Which of the following best describes Peng? A. Patient and intelligent. B. Ambitious and talented. C. Creative and open-minded. D. Optimistic and determined. 7. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Overcoming the Odds: Peng’s Life Story B. From Silence to Triumph: Peng’s Swim Story C. Lights, Camera, Action: Peng in the Swimming Pool D. Balancing Studying and Swimming: Peng’s Secret to Success C One day in 1995, a man, named Wheeler, robbed two banks in broad daylight. He didn’t wear a mask and smiled at the camera. Later, police arrested him, but when they showed him the videos, he stared in disbelief. “But I wore the juice,” he mumbled. Apparently, he thought that rubbing lemon juice on his skin would make him invisible to videotape cameras. After all, lemon juice is used as invisible ink. Police concluded that Wheeler was not crazy or on drugs— just incredibly mistaken. This caught the eye of the psychologists David Dunning and Justin Kruger. They reasoned that while almost everyone holds favourable views of their abilities, some mistakenly assess their abilities as being much higher than they actually are. This “illusion of confidence” is now called the “Dunning-Kruger effect”. In one study, Dunning and Kruger asked undergraduate students a series of questions about grammar, logic and jokes, and then asked each student to estimate his or her score overall, as well as their relative rank compared to the other students. Interestingly, Dunning and Kruger found that high-achievers underestimated their relative competence, while poor-performing students estimated that they had performed better than two-thirds of the other students. The difference is that competent people can and do adjust their self-assessment given appropriate feedback, while incompetent individuals cannot. Sure, it’s typical for people to overestimate their abilities. The problem is that when people are incompetent, not only do they reach wrong conclusions and make unfortunate choices but they are robbed of the ability to realise their mistakes and assess the whole situation. As Charles Darwin wrote: “Ignorance more frequently produces confidence than does knowledge.” Referring to Dunning and Kruger’s research, we may find the key to not ending up like the witless bank robber. Sometimes we try things that lead to favourable outcomes, but other times — like the lemon juice idea — our approaches are imperfect, irrational or just stupid. The trick is to not be fooled by illusions of superiority and to learn to accurately reevaluate our competence. After all, as Confucius reportedly said, real knowledge is knowing the extent of one’s ignorance. 8. What might be the biggest reason for Wheeler’s failed robbery? A. Ineffective lemon juice. B. Police’s arrest. C. His own misjudgment. D. Being caught in the cameras. 9 What is paragraph 3 mainly about? A. An explanation of the Dunning-Kruger effect. B.

Why do some students perform poorly according to Dunning and Kruger’s study? A. Because they refuse to accept their failure. B. Because they are unable to learn from feedback. C. Because they have false assessment about the situation and themselves. D. Because they are always ignorant and regard themselves as know-it-alls. 11. What is the author’s attitude towards Dunning and Kruger’s findings? A. Approving. B. Dismissive. C. Doubtful. D. Unclear. D Experts have gained deeper insight into why people spontaneously (不由自主地) dance to music. New research suggests the urge to dance to the beat — what some scientists call the “groove experience” — depends on the music’s degree of syncopation, a feature that affects how predictable the rhythm is. Syncopations are rhythmic patterns in which accented or unaccented beats in a melody (旋律) appear in surprising places relative to the standard beat. The more syncopation apiece of music contains, the less accurately you can guess the rhythm of the next few bars as you listen. In a series of experiments with more than 60 participants, cognitive neuroscientist (认知神经学家) Benjamin Morillon of France’ s Aix-Marseille University and his team examined how syncopation relates to the groove experience. In one test, they played 12 different melodies. The main beat was always two hertz(Hz), or roughly two events per second. But the melody’s rhythmic shifts varied so that each tune was played with three different degrees of syncopation. Participants then rated how much they wanted to dance to each track. As Morillon and his colleagues report in Science Advances, a medium degree of syncopation triggered (引发) a strong desire to move to the music. In contrast, neither very high nor low degrees of syncopation had that same result. In other words, people didn’t particularly want to dance to an entirely predictable rhythm or a highly surprising one. “The work reveals why we cannot resist moving in line with the beat when we listen to music with an optimal level of syncopation,” says Benoît Bardy, a movement-science researcher at the University of Montpellier in France. Bardy, who was not involved in the new study, describes it as “a very innovative piece of science”. In addition, the groove experience seems to be all about finding the music’s underlying pulse, the study shows. When a group of participants had to tap their fingers to imagined dance steps, they did so almost exclusively to the basic 2-Hz beat, not to the melody’s rhythm. 12. What determines people’s urge to dance spontaneously to music? A. Surprising rhythmic patterns. B. Imagined dance steps. C. Accurate rhythms. D. Standard beats. 13. What can we learn from the experiments? A. The melody’s rhythmic shifts were the same. B. The participants were all professional dancers. C. Participants rated their desire to dance to different melodies. D. High degrees of syncopation made people want to dance more. 14. What does the underlined word “optimal” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Rarest. B. Moderate. C. Highest. D. Lowest. 15. What might the next paragraph of the text discuss? A. Different types of syncopation. B. How to improve the groove experience in the future. C. Further experiments to explore people’s desire to dance. D. Practical applications of the research in cognitive neuroscience. 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。 Life disappoints everyone from time to time.

A workmate threw me a dish brush and said, “Let’s get started.” He introduced me to the basics of washing dishes and demonstrated the process. This was the beginning of my part-time job, a new stage where I was both eager to learn and anxious about the challenges ahead. On a Friday night, Aaron swiftly entered the kitchen. “Who has just bused (收拾) the back right table?” he shouted, his voice sharp with urgency. My hands, slippery with bubbles from the bowl I was washing, nearly let it slip through my fingers. I wanted to say I was guilty, but Aaron’s cold stare didn’t promise a happy reward for the guy who admitted. Finally, a mix of fear and my own conscience pushed the response out of my mouth. “I did, Aaron.” “What were you thinking? Get back out here and look at what you missed!” His words forced me forward. I grabbed a rag (抹布) and followed him out to table twenty-two. As we made our way through the restaurant, he said something about rags, but I didn’t hear clearly with other conversations going on around us. I quickly realized the true issue was the mess beneath the table. A nearly full cup of beer had tipped over, creating a small lake on the floor. It was a significant mistake on my part. “Take care of it!” Aaron tuned and stormed off to the front of the restaurant. I dropped down to clean up the beer. That was when another problem occurred. I had brought only one rag. One already wet rag. It did nothing but increase the size of the lake. “More rags,” I thought. Immediately, I rushed into the kitchen and hurriedly grabbed five dry rags, hoping Aaron wouldn’t notice my brief absence. 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。 I had just rushed out when I found Aaron standing in my way. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ After cleaning up the mess, I reflected on Aaron’s words. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 听力答案1-5AAABB 6-10CCBCC 11-15AAACB 16-20ABCA 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
