精品解析：浙江省宁波中学2024-2025学年高一下学期3月月考英语试题

2025年宁波中学高一下英语3月月考试卷 第一节阅读理解(共8题，每题2.5分，计20分) A Imagine a potter(陶工), sitting quietly on a small chair, holding soft clay(黏土) in his hands, sculpting it as he spins the pottery wheel. The clay’s fate is completely in the potter’s hands. A skilled potter would turn it into a beautiful container but the same clay, when handed to a green hand, may be ruined. Just as the potter shapes clay into containers, our lives are shaped by the hands of our surroundings — the people we meet, the places we go, each conversation and every experience shape us into who we are. Jim Rohn once said, “You are the average of the top 5 people you spend your most time with.” Now think about the company you keep — the ones who share your joys, wipe tears away and share your dreams. Every part of you is nothing but their average. Back in middle school, most of my classmates didn’t quite match my level of intellect (智力). More often than not, I stood out from them; although it felt really satisfying, it somehow lacked the challenge I desired. It wasn’t until I started high school that I found what I was searching for. High school did feel frightening at first. I found myself surrounded by brighter, wiser and prettier faces than I ever imagined. I felt inadequate compared to them, but it was in that discomfort that I found growth. To grow, you got to be with people who stand out in areas where you fall short, those who inspire you to learn and improve. Just as tough competition pushes athletes to stand out, great people bring out the best in you. So, find your people, people who’ll inspire and uplift you, who have qualities you want. They wouldn’t simply hand you success but force you to lift yourself higher and higher. But if negativity surrounds you, don’t expect positive changes in your life. If you’re always with people who see nothing but reasons why things can’t be done, then that will also become your reality. 1. What does the author compare our surroundings to? A. The potter. B. The clay. C. The pottery wheel. D. The container. 2. Which of the following best describes the author’s high school? A. Dull. B. Painful. C. Rewarding. D. Thrilling. 3. Who does the author suggest readers be with in order to grow? A. People who motivate them to advance. B. People who match their level of intellect. C. People who work in the same area as they do. D. People who share happiness and sorrow with them. 4. What is the message conveyed in the text? A. Toughness leads to success. B. Positivity outweighs hard work. C. Birds of a feather gather together. D. Success loves a successful company. 【答案】1. A 2. C 3. A 4. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文，通过对陶工和黏土比喻，讲述了环境对我们成长的塑造作用，强调要与激励我们进步的人为伍，从而实现自我提升。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Just as the potter shapes clay into containers, our lives are shaped by the hands of our surroundings—the people we meet, the places we go, each conversation and every experience shape us into who we are. (正如陶工将黏土塑造成容器一样，我们的生活也被环境所塑造——我们遇到的人、去过的地方、每一次交谈和经验都在塑造我们是谁)”可知，作者将我们的环境比作陶工，环境对我们的成长起到塑造作用。故选A。 【2题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第五段“High school did feel frightening at first. I found myself surrounded by brighter, wiser and prettier faces than I ever imagined. I felt inadequate compared to them, but it was in that discomfort that I found growth. (一开始高中确实令人害怕。我发现周围的人比我想象的更聪明、更聪慧、更漂亮。相比之下，我感到自惭形秽，但正是在这种不适中，我找到了成长)”可知，作者面对更优秀的同伴，初时有压力但随后通过竞争实现了成长，因此可以用“rewarding”(回报丰厚的、有收获的)来描述作者的高中体验。故选C。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据第六段“To grow, you got to be with people who stand out in areas where you fall short, those who inspire you to learn and improve. (要成长，你必须与那些在你不足的领域中脱颖而出的人在一起，他们会激励你学习和提高)”可知，作者建议与能够激励我们进步的人在一起，这样才能促成自我成长。故选A。 【4题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第六段“So, find your people, people who’ll inspire and uplift you, who have qualities you want. They wouldn’t simply hand you success but force you to lift yourself higher and higher..(所以，找到你的人，那些会激励和提升你的人，他们拥有你想要的品质。他们不会直接把成功交到你手里，而是迫使你不断提升自己)”以及全文核心思想强调与优秀的人为伍，以提升自我。故“Success loves a successful company (成功者喜欢结交成功者)”最能概括文章主旨。故选D。 B When preparing for a test, most students assume it’s best to simply study the material and try to memorize as much of it as possible. Many tests seemingly reward rote (死记硬背) memorization. But what if students trained by testing themselves instead? Usually, studying is considered a safer bet; why risk producing wrong answers when you can just memorize the right one? Yet it turns out making errors early on can be more helpful for remembering information over time. Cognitive psychologists Henry Roddy Roediger and Jeff Karpicke conducted a study where they had hundreds of students memorize passages from a test-preparation book for the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL). One group memorized these passages by reading them repeatedly, while another group read the passages several times and then completed three tests. The results were surprising: the students who repeatedly studied the material initially performed better, but when they were tested again a week later, the students who tested themselves recalled over 60% of what they had learned, compared to only 40% for the group who repeatedly studied. The testing effect has since been confirmed in many studies under a range of conditions. Its value remains undoubted, but scientists are still debating why it has such a powerful effect on memory. The simplest explanation is that testing exposes our weaknesses. When we test our memories, we expose the weaknesses of existing neuronal (神经元的) connections in a way that ultimately strengthens what’s useful and removes what’s not, making the information we attempt to memorize more lasting and easier to recall. To maximize the benefits of the testing effect, it’s important to return to the same information in shorter sessions over several days instead of cramming (塞进) everything into a single night of intense studying. This allows your brain to consolidate the information and create stronger memories. In conclusion, testing is not just a tool for assessing your knowledge but also a powerful learning tool. By embracing errors and actively testing yourself, you can improve your learning and memory. So, instead of avoiding mistakes, embrace them as opportunities for growth and mastery. 5. What do we know about Henry and Jeff’s study? A. Self-testing works only in tasks of memorizing things. B. Those who repeatedly studied performed better later. C. Rote memorization doesn’t work well in the long run. D. The study focused mainly on how to prepare for TOFEL. 6. What happens to the brain when people test their memories? A. Additional neuronal connections in the brain are created. B. The brain processes new information at a higher speed. C. The weak connections between neurons are removed. D Weak but useful neuronal connections become stronger. 7. What is an effective way to study according to paragraph 4? A. Avoiding making the same mistakes in tests. B. Studying everything intensely on a single night. C. Reviewing in shorter sessions over several days. D. Focusing on what is most likely to be on the test. 8. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Cramming for Exams: A Safer Bet for Success B. The Testing Effect: Why Practice Makes Perfect C. The Power of Testing: An Effective Approach to Learning D. The Secret of Learning: How Brains Process Information 【答案】5. C 6. D 7. C 8. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文主要讲述了测试效应作为一种有效的学习方法，通过自我测试可以提高记忆和学习效果。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“The results were surprising: the students who repeatedly studied the material initially performed better, but when they were tested again a week later, the students who tested themselves recalled over 60% of what they had learned, compared to only 40% for the group who repeatedly studied.”（结果是令人惊讶的：那些反复学习材料的学生一开始表现更好，但当他们一周后再次接受测试时，那些自我测试的学生回忆起了60%以上所学的内容，而反复学习的学生只回忆起了40%。）可知，死记硬背从长远来看效果并不好。故选C。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段的“When we test our memories, we expose the weaknesses of existing neuronal (神经元的) connections in a way that ultimately strengthens what’s useful and removes what’s not, making the information we attempt to memorize more lasting and easier to recall. (当我们测试自己的记忆力时，我们会以一种方式暴露现有神经元连接的弱点，这种方式最终会强化有用的连接，去除无用的连接，从而使我们试图记住的信息更加持久，也更容易回想起来。)”可知，测试记忆时，大脑会暴露并强化有用的神经元连接，同时去除无用的连接，由此可知，弱但有用的神经元连接被暴露并得到加强。故选D。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段的“To maximize the benefits of the testing effect, it’s important to return to the same information in shorter sessions over several days instead of cramming (塞进) everything into a single night of intense studying. (为了最大限度地发挥测试效果的益处，重要的是在几天内分多个较短的时段来复习同样的知识内容，而不是把所有东西都集中在一个晚上进行高强度的学习。)”可知，有效的学习方法是分几天进行短时间复习，而不是一晚上突击学习，由此可推知，在几天内分多次短时段复习材料是有效的学习方法。故选C。 【8题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段的“Yet it turns out making errors early on can be more helpful for remembering information over time. (然而，事实证明，早期犯错从长远来看可能更有助于记忆信息。)”以及第三段中的“The testing effect has since been confirmed in many studies under a range of conditions. (测试效应已经在多种条件下通过许多研究得到了证实。)”可知，本文的核心在于探讨测试作为一种有效的学习工具的力量，而且测试对学习和记忆的强大效果，所以“测试的力量：一种有效的学习方法。”概括了全文的主题，是最佳标题。故选C。 第二节任务型阅读(共5题，每题2.5分，计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。 With travel on the rise, more families are planning to take their home life on the road, whether it’s for a weekend or a longer trip. Traveling with kids can be stressful — with all those suitcases and cries of “Are we there yet?” ____9____ Involving young children in planning a trip might sound silly but it’s far more valuable than it seems: “You shouldn’t expect a 4-year-old to spend eight hours in museums,” says Waldon, a family travel expert. “It’s really smart for parents to think like their kid and realize,‘ ____10____’” That attitude helps parents avoid terrible situations that may ruin the day. ____11____ If a little one is into dinosaurs, perhaps you’ll want to check out a city’s Natural History Museum. If they love animals, maybe there’s a way to include a visit to a farm or an aquarium (水族馆). One of Waldon’s favourite ways to get younger kids excited about a trip is reading. “Books are perfect for little armchair travellers” she says. “____12____” Before a recent trip to Puerto Rico, Waldon read her kids a book about a frog native to the island. Afterwards, her daughters got really excited to hear this little frog singing at night. People often think the trip is going to be one Instagram worthy moment after another, but that never happens. ____13____ When kids are involved, they can become invested in getting through those problems. They also learn to work things out together as a family. A. Most children really enjoy challenges. B. Actually, no family trip goes without problems. C. However, it can also be a highly rewarding activity. D. That way, we’re getting more of that local experience. E. This is a 30-minute max type opportunity for my child. F. They get the kids curious about the trip before leaving home. G. Parents can also play into their kids’ interests when planning a trip. 【答案】9. C 10. E 11. G 12. F 13. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了关于家庭旅行的一些建议，特别是如何让孩子更好地参与和享受旅行。 【9题详解】 上文“Traveling with kids can be stressful—with all those suitcases and cries of “Are we there yet?”(带着孩子旅行可能会很有压力——带着所有的行李箱和“我们到了吗？”)”说明带着孩子旅行可能会有压力，下文“Involving young children in planning a trip might sound silly, but it’s far more valuable than it seems.(让年幼的孩子参与计划旅行可能听起来很傻，但它比看起来要有价值得多。)”说明带孩子旅行是有价值的，因此空格处应该出现带转折的词，C选项“However, it can also be a highly rewarding activity.(然而，它也可以是一个非常有益的活动。)”中的However表转折，说明带孩子去旅行是值得的，承上启下，符合语境。故选C。 【10题详解】 下文“That attitude helps parents avoid terrible situations that may ruin the day.(这种态度可以帮助父母避免可能会毁了一天的糟糕情况。)”说明了空前所说的一种态度可以帮助父母避免毁掉一天，空格处应该是父母的一种态度，E选项“This is a 30-minute max type opportunity for my child.(这是一个最多30分钟时长的适合我孩子的机会)”是父母的一种态度，因此承接上文，符合语境。故选E。 【11题详解】 空格处是本段的主旨句，由下文“If a little one is into dinosaurs, perhaps you’ll want to check out a city’s Natural History Museum. If they love animals, maybe there’s a way to include a visit to a farm or an aquarium (水族馆).(如果孩子喜欢恐龙，也许你会想去城市的自然历史博物馆看看。如果他们喜欢动物，也许有一个方法包括参观农场或水族馆)”可知，本段主要讲的是在计划带孩子去旅行时，应该要考虑孩子的喜好，G选项“Parents can also play into their kids’ interests when planning a trip.(在计划旅行时，父母也可以考虑孩子的兴趣)”说明了父母在计划旅行时应该考虑孩子的兴趣，概括了本段主要内容，可作为主旨句。故选G。 【12题详解】 上文“One of Waldon’s favourite ways to get younger kids excited about a trip is reading. “Books are perfect for little armchair travellers,” she says.(Waldon最喜欢的让孩子们对旅行感到兴奋的方法之一就是阅读。她说：“书籍是小旅行者的完美选择。”)”说明了书籍会让孩子感到兴奋，下文“Before a recent trip to Puerto Rico, Waldon read her kids a book about a frog native to the island. Afterwards, her daughters got really excited to hear this little frog singing at night.(在最近一次去波多黎各旅行之前，Waldon给她的孩子们读了一本关于岛上本地青蛙的书。后来，她的女儿们听到这只小青蛙在晚上唱歌真的很兴奋)”说明Waldon通过书让孩子对旅行感到兴奋，空格处也应该和让孩子兴奋有关，F选项“They get the kids curious about the trip before leaving home.(它们在离开家之前让孩子们对这次旅行感到好奇)”说明了阅读书籍在离开家去旅行前让孩子们对旅行感到好奇，因此F选项承上启下，符合语境。故选F。 【13题详解】 上文“People often think the trip is going to be one Instagram worthy moment after another, but that never happens.(人们通常认为这次旅行会成为一个又一个值得分享的时刻，但这从来没有发生过)”说明旅行成为一个又一个值得分享的时刻这种事情从来没有发生过，下文“When kids are involved, they can become invested in getting through those problems.(当孩子们参与进来时，他们可以投入到解决这些问题中去)”说明旅行中会遇到一些问题，由此可知旅行可能会不顺利，B选项“Actually, no family trip goes without problems.(事实上，没有家庭旅行是一帆风顺的)”说明事实上旅行可能会不顺利，承上启下，符合语境。故选B。 第三节完形填空(共15题，每小题1.5分，计22.5分) It all started with a simple question: “Can I paint your portrait?” Outside the Brian Peterson’s fourth-floor ____14____ in Santa Ana, California, a homeless man was often yelling on the street corner, sometimes keeping him ____15____ at night.

The clay’s fate is completely in the potter’s hands. A skilled potter would turn it into a beautiful container but the same clay, when handed to a green hand, may be ruined. Just as the potter shapes clay into containers, our lives are shaped by the hands of our surroundings — the people we meet, the places we go, each conversation and every experience shape us into who we are. Jim Rohn once said, “You are the average of the top 5 people you spend your most time with.” Now think about the company you keep — the ones who share your joys, wipe tears away and share your dreams. Every part of you is nothing but their average. Back in middle school, most of my classmates didn’t quite match my level of intellect (智力). More often than not, I stood out from them; although it felt really satisfying, it somehow lacked the challenge I desired. It wasn’t until I started high school that I found what I was searching for. High school did feel frightening at first. I found myself surrounded by brighter, wiser and prettier faces than I ever imagined. I felt inadequate compared to them, but it was in that discomfort that I found growth. To grow, you got to be with people who stand out in areas where you fall short, those who inspire you to learn and improve. Just as tough competition pushes athletes to stand out, great people bring out the best in you. So, find your people, people who’ll inspire and uplift you, who have qualities you want. They wouldn’t simply hand you success but force you to lift yourself higher and higher. But if negativity surrounds you don’t expect positive changes in your life. If you’re always with people who see nothing but reasons why things can’t be done, then that will also become your reality. 1. What does the author compare our surroundings to? A. The potter. B. The clay. C. The pottery wheel. D. The container. 2. Which of the following best describes the author’s high school? A. Dull. B. Painful. C. Rewarding. D. Thrilling. 3. Who does the author suggest readers be with in order to grow? A. People who motivate them to advance. B. People who match their level of intellect. C. People who work in the same area as they do. D. People who share happiness and sorrow with them. 4. What is the message conveyed in the text? A. Toughness leads to success. B. Positivity outweighs hard work. C. Birds of a feather gather together. D. Success loves a successful company. B When preparing for a test, most students assume it’s best to simply study the material and try to memorize as much of it as possible. Many tests seemingly reward rote (死记硬背) memorization. But what if students trained by testing themselves instead? Usually, studying is considered a safer bet; why risk producing wrong answers when you can just memorize the right one? Yet it turns out making errors early on can be more helpful for remembering information over time. Cognitive psychologists Henry Roddy Roediger and Jeff Karpicke conducted a study where they had hundreds of students memorize passages from a test-preparation book for the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL). One group memorized these passages by reading them repeatedly, while another group read the passages several times and then completed three tests. The results were surprising: the students who repeatedly studied the material initially performed better, but when they were tested again a week later, the students who tested themselves recalled over 60% of what they had learned, compared to only 40% for the group who repeatedly studied. The testing effect has since been confirmed in many studies under a range of conditions. Its value remains undoubted, but scientists are still debating why it has such a powerful effect on memory. The simplest explanation is that testing exposes our weaknesses. When we test our memories, we expose the weaknesses of existing neuronal (神经元的) connections in a way that ultimately strengthens what’s useful and removes what’s not, making the information we attempt to memorize more lasting and easier to recall. To maximize the benefits of the testing effect, it’s important to return to the same information in shorter sessions over several days instead of cramming (塞进) everything into a single night of intense studying. This allows your brain to consolidate the information and create stronger memories. In conclusion, testing is not just a tool for assessing your knowledge but also a powerful learning tool. By embracing errors and actively testing yourself, you can improve your learning and memory. So, instead of avoiding mistakes, embrace them as opportunities for growth and mastery. 5. What do we know about Henry and Jeff’s study? A. Self-testing works only in tasks of memorizing things. B. Those who repeatedly studied performed better later. C. Rote memorization doesn’t work well in the long run. D. The study focused mainly on how to prepare for TOFEL. 6 What happens to the brain when people test their memories? A. Additional neuronal connections in the brain are created. B. The brain processes new information at a higher speed. C. The weak connections between neurons are removed. D. Weak but useful neuronal connections become stronger. 7. What is an effective way to study according to paragraph 4? A. Avoiding making the same mistakes in tests. B. Studying everything intensely on a single night. C. Reviewing in shorter sessions over several days. D. Focusing on what is most likely to be on the test. 8. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Cramming for Exams: A Safer Bet for Success B. The Testing Effect: Why Practice Makes Perfect C. The Power of Testing: An Effective Approach to Learning D. The Secret of Learning: How Brains Process Information 第二节任务型阅读(共5题，每题2.5分，计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。 With travel on the rise, more families are planning to take their home life on the road, whether it’s for a weekend or a longer trip. Traveling with kids can be stressful — with all those suitcases and cries of “Are we there yet?” ____9____ Involving young children in planning a trip might sound silly, but it’s far more valuable than it seems: “You shouldn’t expect a 4-year-old to spend eight hours in museums,” says Waldon, a family travel expert. “It’s really smart for parents to think like their kid and realize,‘ ____10____’” That attitude helps parents avoid terrible situations that may ruin the day. ____11____ If a little one is into dinosaurs, perhaps you’ll want to check out a city’s Natural History Museum.

They also learn to work things out together as a family. A. Most children really enjoy challenges. B. Actually, no family trip goes without problems. C. However, it can also be a highly rewarding activity. D. That way, we’re getting more of that local experience. E. This is a 30-minute max type opportunity for my child. F.
