B Bruce Springsteen played at MetLife Stadium last weekend in New Jersey which is about an hour’s drive from my home. I’ve been a huge fan of his music for a long time, but I’ve never seen him at a concert. There were still tickets available, and yet I held back. I didn’t want to go there alone. I’m an independent woman who has lived alone since graduating from college. I love living alone and I need lots of solo (单独的) time to recharge my batteries from a demanding job. I enjoy spending time with small groups of friends and seeing my brother and his family, but I hesitate when leisure time involves large crowds, such as concerts or even movies. I don’t have social anxiety, so I often wonder why I hesitate when it comes to going somewhere alone. A previous study stated that people hesitate about doing things by themselves because they’re afraid of how they’ll be perceived. The good news is that no one is going to notice that. The reason is “the spotlight effect” which has been tested and proven through the use of bright yellow T-shirts. Students were forced to wear these bright shirts to class and were asked how many students they thought would notice them. The subjects thought, on average, about 50% of the class would notice them. In reality, fewer than 20%of the students noticed the shirts. I believe that some activities, such as listening to one’s favorite music at a concert, would be greater pleasure if it was a shared experience. However, according to some studies, people actually had about as much fun doing fun activities alone as they thought they would be accompanied by friends. If enjoying the free time we have depends on finding others to join us, we’ll go from having serious FOMO(Fear of missing out) to absolutely MO as people work more hours and have less free time these days. So if I had another chance to go to Bruce’s concert, even alone, I would surely go. 4. What was the reason for the author’s missing Bruce’s concert? A. A lack of time. B. Having no companion. C. The long travel distance. D. Being unable to get a ticket. 5. What can we know about the author? A. She enjoys socializing with familiar people. B. She suffers from severe social anxiety. C. She prizes family ties over friendships. D. She gets bored with her present job. 6. What does “the spotlight effect” refer to? A. The fear of being judged by others. B. The fact that bright clothes attract more attention. C. The tendency to focus on what’s happening around us. D. The belief that we’re being noticed more than we really are. 7. What does the author aim to do in the last paragraph? A. To express her fondness for Bruce. B. To explain the busyness of our daily life. C. To encourage people to do activities alone. D. To stress the close relationship between people. C I’ve never had a great sense of direction. And I often wander into shops and, upon coming back out, can’t remember which way I’ve come from - left or right? Many people are like me, and why do some constantly have no idea where they are? The hippocampus (海马体) is a region of the brain associated with memory and involved in sense of direction. And a nearby region has also been associated with sense of direction. There are four known types of navigation-related neurons (神经元) found in these regions: place cells, grid cells, border cells and head direction cells. In short, you can think of place cells as an internal cognitive (认知的) map; they identify where you are. Grid cells are like a GPS system in our brain; they tell us about the relationship of this place to other places we’ve been to. Border cells respond to the presence of environmental boundaries at a specific direction and distance from us. Lastly, head direction cells are activated when our head faces a specific direction. These cells will fire electrical impulses when we enter familiar locations, with each group of cells relating to a specific place. Our reliance on GPS and smartphones may have decreased the ability to use our internal maps. Older adults who regularly used GPS had less activity in their hippocampus, compared with those who did not use GPS. They also performed slightly worse in a cognition test. In contrast, a study involving London taxi drivers found they significantly larger hippocampus than ordinary people. You can improve your way-finding ability specifically by practicing the skill, according to Aziz, PhD of neurology at Temple University School of Medicine. “The more you get out and go to places, the better,” he says. Physical exercise improves the blood flow to the brain, while mental exercise, such as doing puzzles or learning a new language, stimulates the development of new nerve cells and connections in your brain. 8. How does the author introduce the topic of the text? A. By raising a question. B. By making a comparison. C. By stating personal opinions. D. By referring to scientific research. 9. What can we learn about the four types of navigation-related neurons? A. They depend closely on each other. B. They are responsible for different jobs. C. They will decrease in numbers as one ages. D. They will fail to function in unfamiliar situations. 10. What is the potential consequence if we rely too much on GPS? A. It may lead to a larger hippocampus. B. It may improve cognitive abilities. C. It may reduce activity in hippocampus. D. It may increase the number of navigation-related neurons. 11. What does the last paragraph suggest as a way to improve way-finding ability? A. By making most of GPS. B. By relying more on cellphones. C. By avoiding unfamiliar situations. D. By engaging in physical and mental exercise. D Do you ever find yourself randomly thinking back to the times we wandered, collecting wildflowers and smiling beneath the sky? That feeling is often referred to as nostalgia (怀旧). Psychologists have defined nostalgia as a self-conscious, social emotion, bittersweet but dominantly positive. It comes from our happy memories and our desire to go back to the past and reconnect with the people we cared about. Often, nostalgia involves sensory stimuli. On some occasions, the smell of autumn leaves might generate a fierce longing for your childhood home. Almost everyone can experience nostalgia, although its object tends to vary throughout life. One survey conducted by the psychologist Krystine Irene Batcho found that younger people felt more nostalgia for pets, toys, and holidays than did older people, who felt it more strongly for music. In contrast to its links to negative emotions, nostalgia doesn’t make us sadder. Rather, nostalgia is a defensive response to unhappiness, one that brings relief from a negative mood. Research from 2006 shows that nostalgia can actually strengthen social ties, improve self-esteem, and uplift our mood. Other studies suggest that it can also enhance our view of life’s meaning, reduce fear of death, boost spirituality, and increase optimism. Scholars remain uncertain about the precise mechanism behind the effectiveness of nostalgia; however, some suggest that reflecting on joyful memories strengthens our sense of self-worth and belonging, particularly during times of loneliness or self-doubt. Its power lets the happiness of the past overcome the current unpleasantness, offering a bit of escape from tough times. To form stronger connections, we can establish traditions around shared past experiences in families, friend groups, and workplaces. Observing special occasions like childhood sports or post-college meetups can give us something to look forward to. Perhaps because it is so powerful and complex, nostalgia has received magical treatment from poets and writers. “The past is hidden somewhere outside the realm (领域), beyond the reach of intellect,” Marcel Proust wrote. 12. Why does the author mention “autumn leaves” in the second paragraph? A. To illustrate the complexity of nostalgia. B. To emphasize the joyful nature of nostalgia. C. To clarify nostalgia’s connection to our senses. D. To stress individual variety of experiencing nostalgia. 13. What is paragraph 3 mainly about? A. The mismatch between two findings. B. The potential benefits of nostalgia. C. The impact of nostalgia on personal mood. D. The mechanisms behind nostalgia’s effects. 14 What does the author suggest us do in paragraph 4? A. Create shared traditions for bonding and joy. B. Record the social gatherings regularly. C. Recognize the unnecessary social gatherings. D. Say no to the concept of escapism. 15. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Nostalgia: Why We Should Avoid Reflecting on the Past B. Nostalgia: A Shelter Against the Unhappiness of Our Life C A Nostalgia Warning: Our Mental Health Being Attacked D. Power of Nostalgia: Struggling for an Irreplaceable Present 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。 We’ve all been there before — you’re in conversation, things are getting along nicely. ___16___. At that moment, your mind goes completely blank, you don’t know what to say, and you can sense the other person’s eyes wandering as they look for someone else to talk to. That scenario (场面) is terrible, so here are three tips to make sure that you never run out of things to say in conversation again. Firstly, when you find yourself in that situation where your mind has gone blank, play “Reminds Me of”. That just means that you look to the environment around you and say, “You know, that reminds me of……” and then fill in the blank. ___17___ And it can also work as a follow-up when someone finishes telling a story, which is how many groups of friends interact all the time. Second, when you ask questions, keep them open-ended as often as possible. ___18___ So rather than saying, “Oh, you’re from Toronto. Do you like it there?” you might say, “How do you like Toronto? I’m curious to hear more about it.” You should get the other person talking about the things that they like, which is going to open up more conversational topics. ___19___ This is the third tip. If you’re in a new group and conversation dies after initial pleasantries, a great question is, “How do you guys all know one another?” There’s almost always some kind of story that conversation can build from. If you’re only speaking to one person, you can say instead, “So what’s your story?” The great thing about this question is that it is so open-ended that the other person will probably guide you towards new topics, usually responding with something like, “You mean what do I do for work or what do I like to do for fun?” ___20___ A. Ask them about their exciting plans for the future. B. It is great for opening new conversational topics. C. Then out of nowhere, the awkward silence occurs. D. You’d better avoid questions inviting a one-word response. E. That’s because people don’t like to talk to others different from themselves. F. For the worst scenario when conversation stops suddenly, use saving questions. G. His or her tone and enthusiasm will tell you the best angle of conversation to continue with. 第三部分 英语知识运用（共三节，满分30分） 第一节 完形填空（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下列短文，从每小题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题纸上将该项涂黑。 Careers in science are generally believed to be too complex for students who aren’t talented or clever enough, but Seott Kelly, commander of the International Space Station, would prove it’s ___21___. As a kid, he was abstracted and uninterested in science and all other ___22___ as well. He couldn’t ___23___ what the teachers were saying, spending most of his time in school daydreaming. Therefore, he earned terrible grades and barely graduated from high school, and he even thought he would never ___24___ his dreams. That all ___25___ when he picked up and read The Right Stuff, Tom Wolfe’s classic account of the pioneering Americans who first explored space. ___26___ at last, he was determined to be an astronaut, which meant doing well in science classes. So that day, he ___27___ his mind to do well in it. After so many years of daydreaming, it wouldn’t be ___28___. But he started thinking about it like a game. The more he ___29___ his study skills, the more he gained and the better he got. ____30____, it became a(n) ____31____ with himself to see how good he could get. No one was more surprised than him when a ____32____ daydreamer started getting straight A’s in science, which is essential to be an astronaut. So we need to stop ____33____ the statement that science is just too hard. If you’re students who have been told “you are not a science person” or “your brain doesn’t think that way”, just ____34____ the comments! Everyone who wants to can learn this stuff — they just have to be ____35____ to do the work. 21. A. unusual B. abnormal C. wrong D. illegal 22. A. subjects B. goals C. schedules D. students 23. A. work on B. set about C. think about D. focus on 24. A. expect B. acknowledge C. fulfill D. observe 25. A. finished B. realized C. happened D. changed 26. A. Inspired B. Disappointed C.

The moon looked lonely and empty. The ground was covered with a thin layer of gray-white dust. Big craters (陨石坑) were all over the place. Some were as large as small towns on Earth. Their edges were sharp, like cuts on the moon. The sun was shining brightly, making strong, dark shadows. When they were doing their science work, collecting samples and setting up tools, something bad happened. Their communication device made a loud sharp noise, and they lost touch with Earth. Zhang Wei stopped suddenly, his eyes wide open in shock. Liu Mei’s hands shook a little as she tried to fix the device. Her face turned pale with worry. “What can we do?” Liu Mei asked in a low, nervous voice. But they knew they had to be brave and keep going. While they were moving forward, they found some strange, evenly-spaced (均匀间隔的) marks on the ground. These marks were different from the random dents (凹陷) made by meteors (陨石). Curious, they decided to follow the trail. The air was full of tension. and they walked carefully. After a while, they saw a faint, strange light coming from a deep valley far away. Their hearts were beating fast, a mix of fear and excitement. They looked at each other, full of doubt, and then decided to go closer. 注意：1.所续写短文的词数应为150左右； 2.续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好； Paragraph 1: When they walked into the shining building, many strange symbols on the walls caught their eyes right away. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: The voice seemed to be trying to talk to them. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 雅礼教育集团2025年上学期3月考试试卷 高二英语 时量：120分钟 分值：150分 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项，并标在试卷的相应位置。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.

I’ve been a huge fan of his music for a long time, but I’ve never seen him at a concert. There were still tickets available, and yet I held back. I didn’t want to go there alone. I’m an independent woman who has lived alone since graduating from college. I love living alone and I need lots of solo (单独的) time to recharge my batteries from a demanding job. I enjoy spending time with small groups of friends and seeing my brother and his family, but I hesitate when leisure time involves large crowds, such as concerts or even movies. I don’t have social anxiety, so I often wonder why I hesitate when it comes to going somewhere alone. A previous study stated that people hesitate about doing things by themselves because they’re afraid of how they’ll be perceived. The good news is that no one is going to notice that. The reason is “the spotlight effect” which has been tested and proven through the use of bright yellow T-shirts. Students were forced to wear these bright shirts to class and were asked how many students they thought would notice them. The subjects thought on average, about 50% of the class would notice them. In reality, fewer than 20%of the students noticed the shirts. I believe that some activities, such as listening to one’s favorite music at a concert, would be greater pleasure if it was a shared experience. However, according to some studies, people actually had about as much fun doing fun activities alone as they thought they would be accompanied by friends. If enjoying the free time we have depends on finding others to join us, we’ll go from having serious FOMO(Fear of missing out) to absolutely MO as people work more hours and have less free time these days. So if I had another chance to go to Bruce’s concert, even alone, I would surely go. 4. What was the reason for the author’s missing Bruce’s concert? A. A lack of time. B. Having no companion. C. The long travel distance. D. Being unable to get a ticket. 5. What can we know about the author? A. She enjoys socializing with familiar people. B. She suffers from severe social anxiety. C. She prizes family ties over friendships. D. She gets bored with her present job. 6. What does “the spotlight effect” refer to? A. The fear of being judged by others. B. The fact that bright clothes attract more attention. C. The tendency to focus on what’s happening around us. D. The belief that we’re being noticed more than we really are. 7. What does the author aim to do in the last paragraph? A. To express her fondness for Bruce. B. To explain the busyness of our daily life. C. To encourage people to do activities alone. D. To stress the close relationship between people. 【答案】4. B 5. A 6. D 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章讨论了独立自主和独自享受休闲活动的观点，作者认为独自进行有趣的活动同样有趣，而且有时候更应该享受自己的自由时间，而不是因为他人的陪伴而放弃自己的独立自主。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Bruce Springsteen played at MetLife Stadium last weekend in New Jersey, which is about an hour’s drive from my home. I’ve been a huge fan of his music for a long time, but I’ve never seen him at a concert. There were still tickets available, and yet I held back. I didn’t want to go there alone.( Bruce Springsteen上周末在新泽西州的大都会MetLife Stadium演出，那里距离我家大约一个小时的车程。我一直是他的超级歌迷，但我从来没有在音乐会上见过他。虽然还有票，但我还是忍住了不去。我不想一个人去。)”可知，作者不去听Bruce Springsteen的演唱会是因为作者不想一个人去，也就是因为没有同伴。故选B。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“I enjoy spending time with small groups of friends and seeing my brother and his family, but I hesitate when leisure time involves large crowds, such as concerts or even movies.(我喜欢和一小群朋友在一起，也喜欢去看哥哥和他的家人，但当我的休闲时间涉及到人群时，比如音乐会或电影，我就会犹豫。)”可知，作者喜欢和自己熟悉的人交往。故选A。 【6题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线短语下文“Students were forced to wear these bright shirts to class and were asked how many students they thought would notice them. The subjects thought, on average, about 50%of the class would notice them. In reality, fewer than 20%of the students noticed the shirts.(学生们被迫穿着这些鲜艳的衬衫去上课，并被问及他们认为有多少学生会注意到这些衬衫。研究对象认为，平均而言，班上约有50%的人会注意到他们。实际上，只有不到20%的学生注意到了这些T恤。)”可知，划线短语“the spotlight effect”指的是，有时候我们会以为别人会关注我们，但是并非如此。也就是说，认为自己受到了比实际更多的关注。故选D。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“If enjoying the free time we have depends on finding others to join us, we’ll go from having serious FOMO(Fear of missing out)to absolutely MO as people work more hours and have less free time these days. So if I had another chance to go to Bruce’s concert, even alone, I would surely go.(如果享受我们拥有的空闲时间取决于寻找其他人加入我们，那么随着人们工作时间越来越长，空闲时间越来越少，我们将从严重的FOMO(害怕错过)变成绝对的MO（错过）。所以如果我有机会再去看布鲁斯的演唱会，即使只有我一个人，我也一定会去的。)”可知，作者认为如果享受我们拥有的空闲时间取决于寻找其他人加入我们，那么随着人们工作时间越来越长，空闲时间越来越少，我们将从严重的FOMO（害怕错过）变成绝对的MO（错过）。可知，作者在最后一段鼓励人们独自活动。故选C。 C I’ve never had a great sense of direction. And I often wander into shops and, upon coming back out, can’t remember which way I’ve come from - left or right? Many people are like me, and why do some constantly have no idea where they are? The hippocampus (海马体) is a region of the brain associated with memory and involved in sense of direction. And a nearby region has also been associated with sense of direction. There are four known types of navigation-related neurons (神经元) found in these regions: place cells, grid cells, border cells and head direction cells. In short, you can think of place cells as an internal cognitive (认知的) map; they identify where you are. Grid cells are like a GPS system in our brain; they tell us about the relationship of this place to other places we’ve been to. Border cells respond to the presence of environmental boundaries at a specific direction and distance from us. Lastly, head direction cells are activated when our head faces a specific direction. These cells will fire electrical impulses when we enter familiar locations, with each group of cells relating to a specific place. Our reliance on GPS and smartphones may have decreased the ability to use our internal maps. Older adults who regularly used GPS had less activity in their hippocampus, compared with those who did not use GPS. They also performed slightly worse in a cognition test. In contrast, a study involving London taxi drivers found they significantly larger hippocampus than ordinary people. You can improve your way-finding ability specifically by practicing the skill, according to Aziz, PhD of neurology at Temple University School of Medicine. “The more you get out and go to places, the better,” he says. Physical exercise improves the blood flow to the brain, while mental exercise, such as doing puzzles or learning a new language, stimulates the development of new nerve cells and connections in your brain. 8. How does the author introduce the topic of the text? A. By raising a question. B. By making a comparison. C. By stating personal opinions. D. By referring to scientific research. 9. What can we learn about the four types of navigation-related neurons? A. They depend closely on each other. B. They are responsible for different jobs. C. They will decrease in numbers as one ages. D. They will fail to function in unfamiliar situations. 10. What is the potential consequence if we rely too much on GPS? A. It may lead to a larger hippocampus. B. It may improve cognitive abilities. C. It may reduce activity in hippocampus. D. It may increase the number of navigation-related neurons. 11. What does the last paragraph suggest as a way to improve way-finding ability? A. By making most of GPS. B. By relying more on cellphones. C. By avoiding unfamiliar situations. D. By engaging in physical and mental exercise. 【答案】8. A 9. B 10. C 11. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文，文章阐释了有些人是“路痴”的原因，以及如何获得方向感。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“Many people are like me, and why do some constantly have no idea where they are? (很多人都像我一样，为什么有些人总是不知道自己在哪里？)”并结合下文介绍人们是怎样认路，以及为什么有人是路痴可知，作者是通过提出问题的方式来引出本文主题的。故选A。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“In short, you can think of place cells as an internal cognitive (认知的) map; they identify where you are. Grid cells are like a GPS system in our brain; they tell us about the relationship of this place to other places we’ve been to. Border cells respond to the presence of environmental boundaries at a specific direction and distance from us. Lastly, head direction cells are activated when our head faces a specific direction. These cells will fire electrical impulses when we enter familiar locations, with each group of cells relating to a specific place. (简而言之，你可以把位置细胞想象成一个内部认知地图；它们能识别你的位置。网格细胞就像我们大脑中的GPS系统；它们告诉我们这个地方与我们去过的其他地方的关系。边界细胞对特定方向和距离的环境边界做出反应。最后，当我们的头朝向一个特定的方向时，头部方向细胞被激活。当我们进入熟悉的地方时，这些细胞会发出电脉冲，每一组细胞都与一个特定的地方有关。)”可知，这四种细胞各司其职，在帮助我们辨别方向和位置时起着不同的作用，故选B。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Older adults who regularly used GPS had less activity in their hippocampus, compared with those who did not use GPS. They also performed slightly worse in a cognition test. (与不使用GPS老年人相比，经常使用GPS的老年人的海马体活动较少。他们在认知测试中的表现也略差。)”可知，如果我们过于依赖GPS，可降低海马体活动。故选C。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“You can improve your way-finding ability specifically by practicing the skill, according to Aziz, PhD of neurology at Temple University School of Medicine. “The more you get out and go to places, the better,” he says. Physical exercise improves the blood flow to the brain, while mental exercise, such as doing puzzles or learning a new language, stimulates the development of new nerve cells and connections in your brain. (天普大学医学院神经学博士阿齐兹说，你可以通过练习来提高找路能力。他说：“你走出去、去的地方越多越好。”体育锻炼可以促进大脑的血液流动，而智力锻炼，比如做拼图或学习一门新语言，可以刺激大脑中新神经细胞和连接的发育。)”可知，建议通过进行身体和精神锻炼可以提高寻路能力。故选D。 D Do you ever find yourself randomly thinking back to the times we wandered, collecting wildflowers and smiling beneath the sky? That feeling is often referred to as nostalgia (怀旧). Psychologists have defined nostalgia as a self-conscious, social emotion, bittersweet but dominantly positive. It comes from our happy memories and our desire to go back to the past and reconnect with the people we cared about. Often, nostalgia involves sensory stimuli. On some occasions, the smell of autumn leaves might generate a fierce longing for your childhood home. Almost everyone can experience nostalgia, although its object tends to vary throughout life. One survey conducted by the psychologist Krystine Irene Batcho found that younger people felt more nostalgia for pets, toys, and holidays than did older people, who felt it more strongly for music. In contrast to its links to negative emotions, nostalgia doesn’t make us sadder. Rather, nostalgia is a defensive response to unhappiness, one that brings relief from a negative mood. Research from 2006 shows that nostalgia can actually strengthen social ties, improve self-esteem, and uplift our mood. Other studies suggest that it can also enhance our view of life’s meaning, reduce fear of death, boost spirituality, and increase optimism. Scholars remain uncertain about the precise mechanism behind the effectiveness of nostalgia; however, some suggest that reflecting on joyful memories strengthens our sense of self-worth and belonging, particularly during times of loneliness or self-doubt. Its power lets the happiness of the past overcome the current unpleasantness, offering a bit of escape from tough times. To form stronger connections, we can establish traditions around shared past experiences in families, friend groups, and workplaces. Observing special occasions like childhood sports or post-college meetups can give us something to look forward to. Perhaps because it is so powerful and complex, nostalgia has received magical treatment from poets and writers. “The past is hidden somewhere outside the realm (领域), beyond the reach of intellect,” Marcel Proust wrote. 12. Why does the author mention “autumn leaves” in the second paragraph? A. To illustrate the complexity of nostalgia. B. To emphasize the joyful nature of nostalgia. C. To clarify nostalgia’s connection to our senses. D. To stress individual variety of experiencing nostalgia. 13. What is paragraph 3 mainly about? A. The mismatch between two findings. B. The potential benefits of nostalgia. C. The impact of nostalgia on personal mood. D. The mechanisms behind nostalgia’s effects. 14. What does the author suggest us do in paragraph 4? A. Create shared traditions for bonding and joy. B. Record the social gatherings regularly. C. Recognize the unnecessary social gatherings. D. Say no to the concept of escapism. 15. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Nostalgia: Why We Should Avoid Reflecting on the Past B. Nostalgia: A Shelter Against the Unhappiness of Our Life C. A Nostalgia Warning: Our Mental Health Being Attacked D. Power of Nostalgia: Struggling for an Irreplaceable Present 【答案】12. C 13. B 14. A 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了怀旧的定义、产生原因、影响以及我们应如何利用怀旧来增强社交关系和自我价值感。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段“Often, nostalgia involves sensory stimuli. On some occasions, the smell of autumn leaves might generate a fierce longing for your childhood home.”（怀旧通常涉及感官刺激。有时候，秋天的树叶的气味可能会引发对你儿时家的强烈思念。）可知，作者提到“秋天的树叶”是为了说明怀旧与我们的感官的联系。故选C。 【13题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第三段的内容“In contrast to its links to negative emotions, nostalgia doesn’t make us sadder. Rather, nostalgia is a defensive response to unhappiness, one that brings relief from a negative mood. Research from 2006 shows that nostalgia can actually strengthen social ties, improve self-esteem, and uplift our mood. Other studies suggest that it can also enhance our view of life’s meaning, reduce fear of death, boost spirituality, and increase optimism.”（与它与负面情绪的联系相反，怀旧并不会让我们更悲伤。更确切地说，怀旧是对不快乐的一种防御反应，它能让你从消极情绪中解脱出来。2006年的研究表明，怀旧实际上可以加强社会联系，提高自尊，提升我们的情绪。其他研究表明，它还可以增强我们对生命意义的看法，减少对死亡的恐惧，提升精神，增加乐观情绪。），可以看出这一段主要讲述了怀旧的潜在好处，如增强社交关系、提高自尊、提升我们的心情等。故选B。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第四段“To form stronger connections, we can establish traditions around shared past experiences in families, friend groups, and workplaces. Observing special occasions like childhood sports or post-college meetups can give us something to look forward to.”（为了形成更强的联系，我们可以在家庭、朋友圈和工作场所建立围绕共享过去经历的传统。）可推知，作者建议我们创建共享的传统以增强联系和快乐。故选A。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据全文内容以及第四段“Scholars remain uncertain about the precise mechanism behind the effectiveness of nostalgia; however, some suggest that reflecting on joyful memories strengthens our sense of self-worth and belonging, particularly during times of loneliness or self-doubt. Its power lets the happiness of the past overcome the current unpleasantness, offering a bit of escape from tough times.”（学者们仍然不确定怀旧效应背后的确切机制；然而，一些人认为，回忆快乐的记忆可以增强我们的自我价值感和归属感，尤其是在孤独或自我怀疑的时候。它的力量可以让过去的快乐克服当前的不愉快，为艰难时期提供一点逃避。），文章主要讲述了怀旧的定义、产生原因、影响以及我们应如何利用怀旧来增强社交关系和自我价值感，因此B选项“怀旧：我们生活中的避难所”最能概括全文内容。故选B。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。 We’ve all been there before — you’re in conversation, things are getting along nicely. ___16___. At that moment, your mind goes completely blank, you don’t know what to say, and you can sense the other person’s eyes wandering as they look for someone else to talk to. That scenario (场面) is terrible, so here are three tips to make sure that you never run out of things to say in conversation again. Firstly, when you find yourself in that situation where your mind has gone blank, play “Reminds Me of”. That just means that you look to the environment around you and say, “You know, that reminds me of……” and then fill in the blank. ___17___ And it can also work as a follow-up when someone finishes telling a story, which is how many groups of friends interact all the time. Second, when you ask questions, keep them open-ended as often as possible. ___18___ So rather than saying, “Oh, you’re from Toronto. Do you like it there?” you might say, “How do you like Toronto? I’m curious to hear more about it.” You should get the other person talking about the things that they like, which is going to open up more conversational topics. ___19___ This is the third tip. If you’re in a new group and conversation dies after initial pleasantries, a great question is, “How do you guys all know one another?” There’s almost always some kind of story that conversation can build from. If you’re only speaking to one person, you can say instead, “So what’s your story?” The great thing about this question is that it is so open-ended that the other person will probably guide you towards new topics, usually responding with something like, “You mean what do I do for work or what do I like to do for fun?” ___20___ A. Ask them about their exciting plans for the future. B. It is great for opening new conversational topics. C. Then out of nowhere, the awkward silence occurs. D. You’d better avoid questions inviting a one-word response. E. That’s because people don’t like to talk to others different from themselves. F. For the worst scenario when conversation stops suddenly, use saving questions. G. His or her tone and enthusiasm will tell you the best angle of conversation to continue with. 【答案】16. C 17. B 18. D 19. F 20. G 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了三个谈话技巧，可以确保在谈话中永远不会无话可说。 【16题详解】 前文“We’ve all been there before — you’re in conversation, things are getting along nicely.(我们都有过这样的经历——你在交谈，事情进展得很顺利。)”描述对话中原本顺利，后文“At that moment, your mind goes completely blank, you don’t know what to say, and you can sense the other person’s eyes wandering as they look for someone else to talk to.(在那一刻，你的大脑一片空白，你不知道该说什么，你可以感觉到对方的眼睛在四处游荡，因为他们在寻找可以说话的人。)”说明对话突然出现尴尬的沉默，导致对方失去兴趣。选项C“然后不知怎么的，尴尬的沉默出现了。” 承前启后，对应前文things are getting along nicely的转折，自然引出后文mind goes blank的场景。故选C。 【17题详解】 前文“Firstly, when you find yourself in that situation where your mind has gone blank, play “Reminds Me of”.(首先，当你发现自己处于大脑一片空白的状态时，播放“ Reminds Me of”。)”介绍Reminds Me of的方法技巧，后文“And it can also work as a follow-up when someone finishes telling a story, which is how many groups of friends interact all the time.(当有人讲完一个故事时，它也可以作为后续工作，这就是有多少群朋友一直在互动。)”提到它可作为对话的后续提问。选项B“这是开启新的谈话话题的好方法。”强调该方法技巧开启新话题的作用，与后文逻辑一致。故选B。 【18题详解】 前文“Second, when you ask questions, keep them open-ended as often as possible.(第二，当你问问题的时候，尽可能保持开放性。)”建议使用开放式问题，后文“So rather than saying, “Oh, you’re from Toronto. Do you like it there?” you might say, “How do you like Toronto? I’m curious to hear more about it.”(所以不要说，“哦，你来自多伦多。你喜欢那里吗？你可能会说，“你觉得多伦怎么样？我很想多听一些。”)”举例对比封闭式问题和开放式问题。选项D“你最好避免用一个词来回答问题。”直接对应keep them open-ended，说明封闭式问题的弊端。故选D。 【19题详解】 后文“This is the third tip. If you’re in a new group and conversation dies after initial pleasantries, a great question is, “How do you guys all know one another?” There’s almost always some kind of story that conversation can build from. (这是第三个技巧。如果你在一个新群体里，在最初的寒暄之后，谈话就结束了，一个很好的问题是，“你们是怎么认识彼此的？”几乎总有一些故事可以作为对话的基础。)”提出第三个技巧，针对对话突然中断的情况提出建议。选项F“在最糟糕的情况下，当谈话突然停止时，使用挽救性问题。”直接点明使用“挽救性问题”，与后文How do you guys all know one another?的例子匹配。故选F。 【20题详解】 前文“The great thing about this question is that it is so open-ended that the other person will probably guide you towards new topics, usually responding with something like, “You mean what do I do for work or what do I like to do for fun?”(这个问题的好处是，它是开放式的，对方可能会引导你谈论新的话题，通常会这样回答：“你的意思是我做什么工作，或者我喜欢做什么娱乐？”)”提到对方可能反问“工作还是兴趣”，选项G“他或她的语气和热情会告诉你继续谈话的最佳角度。” 说明通过对方的反应找到对话方向，与前文逻辑衔接。故选G。 第三部分 英语知识运用（共三节，满分30分） 第一节 完形填空（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下列短文，从每小题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题纸上将该项涂黑。 Careers in science are generally believed to be too complex for students who aren’t talented or clever enough, but Seott Kelly, commander of the International Space Station, would prove it’s ___21___.

Therefore, he earned terrible grades and barely graduated from high school, and he even thought he would never ___24___ his dreams. That all ___25___ when he picked up and read The Right Stuff, Tom Wolfe’s classic account of the pioneering Americans who first explored space. ___26___ at last, he was determined to be an astronaut, which meant doing well in science classes. So that day, he ___27___ his mind to do well in it. After so many years of daydreaming, it wouldn’t be ___28___. But he started thinking about it like a game. The more he ___29___ his study skills, the more he gained and the better he got. ____30____, it became a(n) ____31____ with himself to see how good he could get. No one was more surprised than him when a ____32____ daydreamer started getting straight A’s in science, which is essential to be an astronaut. So we need to stop ____33____ the statement that science is just too hard. If you’re students who have been told “you are not a science person” or “your brain doesn’t think that way”, just ____34____ the comments!

The moon looked lonely and empty. The ground was covered with a thin layer of gray-white dust. Big craters (陨石坑) were all over the place. Some were as large as small towns on Earth. Their edges were sharp, like cuts on the moon. The sun was shining brightly, making strong, dark shadows. When they were doing their science work, collecting samples and setting up tools, something bad happened. Their communication device made a loud sharp noise, and they lost touch with Earth. Zhang Wei stopped suddenly, his eyes wide open in shock. Liu Mei’s hands shook a little as she tried to fix the device. Her face turned pale with worry. “What can we do?” Liu Mei asked in a low, nervous voice. But they knew they had to be brave and keep going. While they were moving forward, they found some strange, evenly-spaced (均匀间隔的) marks on the ground. These marks were different from the random dents (凹陷) made by meteors (陨石). Curious, they decided to follow the trail. The air was full of tension. and they walked carefully. After a while, they saw a faint, strange light coming from a deep valley far away. Their hearts were beating fast, a mix of fear and excitement. They looked at each other, full of doubt, and then decided to go closer. 注意：1.所续写短文的词数应为150左右； 2.续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好； Paragraph 1: When they walked into the shining building, many strange symbols on the walls caught their eyes right away. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: The voice seemed to be trying to talk to them. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Paragraph 1: When they walked into the shining building, many strange symbols on the walls caught their eyes right away. The symbols were unlike anything they had ever seen, glowing faintly in the dim light. Zhang Wei and Liu Mei exchanged puzzled glances, their curiosity piqued. They moved closer to examine the symbols, noticing intricate patterns that seemed to convey some sort of message. The room was filled with a soft hum, adding to the mystery of the place. They decided to take pictures and make notes, hoping to decipher the meaning later. Paragraph 2: The voice seemed to be trying to talk to them. It was a soft, melodic sound, echoing through the room. At first, they couldn’t make out any words, but as they listened more closely, they began to pick up on a rhythm and tone. It was as if the voice was using music to communicate. Zhang Wei and Liu Mei looked at each other in amazement, their fear gradually being replaced by fascination. They tried to respond with their own voices, mimicking the rhythm, and to their surprise, the voice seemed to react, becoming more distinct. They realized they might have just made contact with something unknown on the moon. 【解析】 【导语】故事以人物为线索展开，讲述了中国宇航员张伟和刘梅在月球上的一次神秘遭遇。他们代表中国进行太空探索，走出登月舱，踏上月球表面。在执行科学任务、收集样本和设置工具时，他们的通信设备突然出现故障，与地球失去联系。面对这一突发情况，他们保持勇敢，继续前行。在行进过程中，他们发现了一些奇怪且均匀间隔的标记，这些标记与陨石撞击形成的随机凹陷不同。出于好奇，他们决定跟随这些标记探寻。随后，他们在远处的一个深谷中看到了一束微弱而奇怪的光。心中既害怕又兴奋，他们相互对视，满怀疑惑，但最终还是决定靠近一探究竟。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段首句内容“当他们走进那座闪闪发光的建筑时，墙上的许多奇怪符号立刻吸引了他们的目光。”可知，第一段可描写这些符号的特征以及他们走近拍照方便以后研究。 ②由第二段首句内容“那个声音似乎在试图与他们交流。”可知，第二顿可描写他们与那个声音交流的过程以及感悟 2.续写线索：靠近符号——听到声音——拍照做笔记——尝试与声音交流——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①充满：be filled with/be full of ②决定做某事：decide to do/determine to do ③代替：replace/take the place of ④意识到：realize/be aware of 情绪类 ①困惑的：puzzled/confused ②害怕：fear/fright 【点睛】[高分句型1] They moved closer to examine the symbols, noticing intricate patterns that seemed to convey some sort of message.（运用了现在分词作状语） [高分句型2] They realized they might have just made contact with something unknown on the moon.（运用了省略了that的宾语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
