One hand lifts the ball high, and for a moment he seems to hang in the air. Then he hammers the ball through the rim. Slam dunk! His career may look like a slam dunk, being a national champion at the University of Connecticut, and setting beginner records with the Toronto Raptors. However, life wasn’t always easy for him. His success is due to more than his ability to play basketball and he owes much of who he is today to a skin disease called alopecia areata, which is not infectious but is caused by an error in the immune system that triggers germ-fighting cells to attack the body’s own hair-growing cells. Charlie was affected at age 10 and lost all his hair by age 12. This made him a target for bullying, leading him to withdraw and hide under caps and hoods. With the support of his mother, Charlie found refuge in basketball. He channeled his frustrations and stress into motivation, improving his skills to the point where his talent overshadowed his condition. The bullying stopped, and his basketball career took off. All along the way, Charlie has consistently dedicated himself to helping others. Ever since his first year as a new player, he has served as a spokesperson for the National Alopecia Areata Foundation, and went on to establish the Charlie Villanueva Foundation, an organization aimed at supporting families with children suffering from alopecia and stopping all forms of bullying. As the son of immigrants from the· Dominican Republic, he has even worked towards ending poverty in that country. Charlie inspires young people to embrace their individuality and have confidence in themselves. “We’re all unique in our own ways,” he says, encouraging them to remember that with dedication and self-belief, any dream is within reach. 4. Why is Charlie’s slam dunk mentioned in Paragraph 1? A. To compare him with other champions. B. To highlight his skills and achievements. C. To explain how a slam dunk is performed. D. To demonstrate a specific moment in a game. 5. What made Charlie avoid his peers? A. An infectious skin disease. B. His being made fun of. C. An error in the immune system. D. His average ability to play basketball. 6. Which of the following best describes Charlie? A. Humble and responsible. B. Strong-willed and helpful. C. Innovative and generous. D. Good-natured and tolerant. 7. What message does the text convey? A. Fortune favors the prepared. B. Actions speak louder than words. C. What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger. D. A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. 【答案】4. B 5. B 6. B 7. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。本文主要讲述了篮球运动员查理·乌尼维加的成长经历，他克服脱发症和欺凌，通过篮球获得成功，并致力于帮助他人和反对欺凌。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。由文章第一段中“One hand lifts the ball high, and for a moment he seems to hang in the air. Then he hammers the ball through the rim. Slam dunk! His career may look like a slam dunk, being a national champion at the University of Connecticut, and setting beginner records with the Toronto Raptors. (一只手把球举得很高，有那么一会儿，他似乎悬在空中。然后他把球击过篮筐。扣篮！他的职业生涯可能看起来像一个灌篮，成为康涅狄格大学的全国冠军，并在多伦多猛龙队创造了初学者的记录。)”可知，提到他的扣篮是为了突出他的技能和成就。故选B。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第二段中“His success is due to more than his ability to play basketball and he owes much of who he is today to a skin disease called alopecia areata, which is not infectious but is caused by an error in the immune system that triggers germ-fighting cells to attack the body’s own hair-growing cells. Charlie was affected at age 10 and lost all his hair by age 12. This made him a target for bullying, leading him to withdraw and hide under caps and hoods. (他的成功不仅仅是因为他打篮球的能力，他今天的成就在很大程度上要归功于一种叫做斑秃的皮肤病，这种疾病不是传染性的，而是由免疫系统的错误引起的，这种错误会触发对抗细菌的细胞攻击身体自身的生发细胞。查理在10岁时受到影响，12岁时脱发。这使他成为欺凌的目标，导致他退缩并躲在帽子和兜帽下。)”可知，被嘲笑使他避免与同龄人接触。故选B。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。由文章第三段中“With the support of his mother, Charlie found refuge in basketball. He channeled his frustrations and stress into motivation, improving his skills to the point where his talent overshadowed his condition. The bullying stopped, and his basketball career took off. (在母亲的支持下，查理在篮球中找到了慰藉。他将挫折和压力转化为动力，不断提高自己的技能，直到他的天赋盖过了他的身体状况。欺凌停止了，他的篮球生涯开始了。)”可知，他有坚强的意志。由文章第四段中“All along the way, Charlie has consistently dedicated himself to helping others. Ever since his first year as a new player, he has served as a spokesperson for the National Alopecia Areata Foundation, and went on to establish the Charlie Villanueva Foundation, an organization aimed at supporting families with children suffering from alopecia and stopping all forms of bullying.(一路走来，查理一直致力于帮助他人。从他作为新球员的第一年开始，他就担任了国家斑秃基金会的发言人，并建立了查理维拉纽瓦基金会，该组织旨在支持有脱发儿童的家庭，并阻止各种形式的欺凌。)”可知，查理一直致力于帮助他人，这表明他是乐于助人的。因此，坚强意志和乐于助人最能描述查理。故选B。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，由文章第三段“With the support of his mother, Charlie found refuge in basketball. He channeled his frustrations and stress into motivation, improving his skills to the point where his talent overshadowed his condition. The bullying stopped, and his basketball career took off. (在母亲的支持下，查理在篮球中找到了慰藉。他将挫折和压力转化为动力，不断提高自己的技能，直到他的天赋盖过了他的身体状况。欺凌停止了，他的篮球生涯开始了。)”可知，查理虽然遭受了脱发症的困扰，但他凭借坚强的意志和乐于助人的品质，不仅在篮球上取得了成功，还积极帮助他人。这表明逆境使人更强大。故选C。 C Among bearing a reputation for various characteristics ranging from the good to the bad, millennials(千禧一代) have notably been labeled the “job-hopping” generation. A Deloitte survey revealed that 49% of millennials might quit their jobs within the next two years. While some from older generations may interpret this as a sign of laziness, a deeper look suggests more complex motivations. At first glance, there are a variety of reasons and circumstances that may lead a person to job hop occasionally. However, beyond the conventional reasons like obtaining better salaries or greater job stability, many millennials have been increasingly motivated by value-driven goals. Surveys show that some go to the extent of suffering pay cuts to pursue positions that provide better learning opportunities. Additionally, some even quit their positions for companies which are aligned with their value system better. In response to such a trend, employers are taking steps to improve workplace culture and to pay more attention to the professional growth and development of individuals. Visibly, Millennials’ boldness in pursuing new job opportunities is also shaped by emerging economic trends and novel business models, such as the gig economy, where self-employed and temporary work caters to those who value flexibility and work-life balance. Additionally, social media has created new career paths, from blogging to content creation, leading more millennials to leave traditional desk jobs for unconventional careers. Hence, one can’t say for certain that job-hopping indicates laziness. Instead, it shows millennials’ wandering off the beaten track to explore new opportunities and development. However, job-hopping remains controversial. Some employers appreciate the diversity in experience and skills job-hopping brings about, while others view it negatively, seeing it as a lack of commitment. There is concern that millennials, raised in relatively prosperous times, may possess less patience and resilience. Yet, at a materialistic society, millennial generation’s pursuit of meaning in their careers offers inspiration. They should never be discouraged to define new horizons of success when their career decisions are driven by healthy ambition and an appetite for upskilling. 8. What phenomenon does the first paragraph describe? A. Millennials switch jobs frequently. B. Millennials are reluctant to seek jobs. C. Millennials have fewer job opportunities. D. Millennials are particular about their jobs. 9. The underlined phrase “are aligned with” in Paragraph 2 can be replaced by . A. go beyond B. correspond to C. conflict with D. compete against 10. The emerging gig economy attracts Millennials in that it allows for . A. decent income B. high social status C. definite freedom D. self-paced schedule 11. What is the author’s view on the job-hopping generation? A. They are characterized by laziness. B. They lack diverse work experience. C. They prioritize individual fulfillment. D. They should bear more responsibility. 【答案】8. A 9. B 10. D 11. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章说明了千禧一代经常换工作，分析了这一现象背后的原因以及影响。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Among bearing a reputation for various characteristics ranging from the good to the bad, millennials(千禧一代) have notably been labeled the “job-hopping” generation. A Deloitte survey revealed that 49% of millennials might quit their jobs within the next two years.(千禧一代有着各种各样的特点，从好的到坏的，尤其是被贴上了“跳槽”一代的标签。德勤的一项调查显示，49%的千禧一代可能会在未来两年内辞职)”可知，第一段描述了千禧一代经常换工作。故选A。 【9题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“Surveys show that some go to the extent of suffering pay cuts to pursue positions that provide better learning opportunities.(调查显示，有些人为了追求能提供更好学习机会的职位，甚至不惜降薪)”以及“Additionally, some even quit their positions for companies which(此外，一些人甚至辞职去了……公司)”以及后文“value system(价值观体系)”可知，千禧一代会为了更好的学习机会不惜降薪，additionally表示递进，推测他们也会辞职去更符合他们价值观体系的公司。故划线词意思是“符合，相当”。故选B。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Visibly, Millennials’ boldness in pursuing new job opportunities is also shaped by emerging economic trends and novel business models, such as the gig economy, where self-employed and temporary work caters to those who value flexibility and work-life balance.(显然，千禧一代大胆追求新工作机会也受到了新兴经济趋势和新商业模式的影响，比如零工经济，在零工经济中，自雇和临时工作迎合了那些重视灵活性和工作与生活平衡的人)”可知，新兴的零工经济吸引了千禧一代，因为它允许自定进度。故选D。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Yet, at a materialistic society, millennial generation’s pursuit of meaning in their careers offers inspiration. They should never be discouraged to define new horizons of success when their career decisions are driven by healthy ambition and an appetite for upskilling.(然而，在一个物质至上的社会里，千禧一代对职业意义的追求给了他们灵感。当他们的职业决定是由健康的抱负和对提高技能的渴望驱动的时候，他们就不应该被阻止去定义成功的新视野。)”可知，作者对跳槽一代的看法是他们优先考虑个人实现。故选C。 D In the video game Space Invaders Extreme 2, a player has to fire weapons to destroy aliens (外星人) attacking Earth. These aliens move fast, raining down from the top of the screen and claiming a player’s “life” if they reach the bottom. A study in Nature suggests that while destroying digital aliens might seem unrelated to distinguishing between words, such action video games may help children at risk for developmental dyslexia—a genetic (遗传的, 基因的) language disorder that makes processing words difficult—by improving their ability to perceive spoken words and sounds. In the study, 79 prereading children with family histories of dyslexia took several language tests, including listening for differences in made-up words—a task that can be challenging for dyslexic people. The kids were then split into four groups. One played Space Invaders Extreme 2, a second played a non-action video game, a third attended speech therapy (疗法), and a fourth received no intervention. Gamers played four times a week for 45 minutes each over a month and a half, and those in speech therapy attended 45-minute sessions twice weekly over about four months. By the end of the trial more than 80 percent of the Space Invaders players were significantly better at the word-identification task than before, and they showed greater improvements than any of the other three groups. The researchers aren’t sure why scores on the other language tests did not improve notably—but they say that this finding could be valuable. “If we can target these small cognitive (认知的) functions before children are older and lose some brain plasticity, then perhaps we can treat aspects of dyslexia before they’ve fully formed, ” says Simone Gori, co-author of the study. Dyslexia often goes untreated in Italy’s overburdened public health and school systems, says Marilu Tempini, a behavioral neurologist at the University of California. She hopes to see larger future studies conducted in other languages as well. “Eyes are an extension of the brain, ” she says, “so when we play video games, it's directly connected to our cognitive function—and there is so much research potential there. ” 12. The author describes Space Invaders Extreme 2 in paragraph 1 to show the game is ________. A. violent B. skill-based C. action-packed D. entertaining 13. According to Simone Gori, what is the significance of the finding? A. It proves that children with dyslexia can be cured. B. It offers hope that the public health system in Italy will be improved. C. It suggests that video games can replace the traditional speech therapy. D. It indicates that action video games can be used for early intervention of dyslexia. 14. What is Marilu Tempini’s attitude towards the study? A. Doubtful. B. Favorable. C. Dismissive. D. Conserved. 15. Which of the following might be a suitable title for the text? A. Secrets Behind Dyslexia Revealed B. Action Video Games Advance Word Awareness C. The Most Effective Coping Strategy for Dyslexia D. Video Games Designed to Improve Cognitive Function 【答案】12. C 13. D 14. B 15. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。研究表明，动作视频游戏如《Space Invaders Extreme 2》可能有助于改善有发展性阅读障碍风险的儿童的语言处理能力。实验中，玩此游戏的儿童在区分词语的任务上表现出了显著的进步，比其他组别包括接受言语治疗的儿童进步更大。这为早期干预阅读障碍提供了新的可能性。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段中“In the video game Space Invaders Extreme 2, a player has to fire weapons to destroy aliens (外星人) attacking Earth. These aliens move fast, raining down from the top of the screen and claiming a player’s “life” if they reach the bottom. (在视频游戏《太空入侵者极限2》中，玩家必须发射武器来摧毁攻击地球的外星人。这些外星人行动迅速，从屏幕顶部倾泻而下，如果他们到达底部，就会夺走玩家的“生命”。)”可知，在《太空侵略者极限2》这款视频游戏中，需要玩家快速反应并采取行动来击落快速移动的敌人，这表明游戏充满了动作和紧张感。故选C项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第四段中““If we can target these small cognitive (认知的) functions before children are older and lose some brain plasticity, then perhaps we can treat aspects of dyslexia before they’ve fully formed, ” says Simone Gori, co-author of the study. (该研究的合著者Simone Gori说：“如果我们能在儿童长大并失去一些大脑可塑性之前针对这些小的认知功能，那么也许我们可以在阅读障碍完全形成之前治疗这些方面。”。)”可知，这项研究的发现表明动作类视频游戏可以用于阅读障碍的早期干预。故选D项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。 根据文章第五段中“She hopes to see larger future studies conducted in other languages as well. “Eyes are an extension of the brain, ” she says, “so when we play video games, it's directly connected to our cognitive function—and there is so much research potential there. ” (她希望未来也能看到用其他语言进行更大规模的研究。“眼睛是大脑的延伸，”她说，“所以当我们玩电子游戏时，它与我们的认知功能直接相关，而且那里有很大的研究潜力。”)”可知，她对这项研究持积极赞成的态度，并期待未来有更多相关研究。故选B项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。 根据文章第二段中“A study in Nature suggests that while destroying digital aliens might seem unrelated to distinguishing between words, such action video games may help children at risk for developmental dyslexia —a genetic (遗传的,  基因的) language disorder that makes processing words difficult—by improving their ability to perceive spoken words and sounds. (《自然》杂志的一项研究表明，虽然摧毁数字外星人似乎与区分单词无关，但这种动作视频游戏可以通过提高儿童感知口语和声音的能力来帮助有发展性阅读障碍风险的儿童，这是一种遗传性语言障碍，使处理单词变得困难。)”可知，文章主要讨论了动作类视频游戏如何帮助可能患有阅读障碍的儿童提高识别单词的能力，以及这一发现对未来干预措施的潜在价值，因此Action Video Games Advance Word Awareness (动作视频游戏提高词汇意识)是一个合适的标题。故选B项。 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能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 The average American generates five pounds of trash per day, according to the U.

However, I struggled to understand the musical notes and the theory. Despite my parents’ encouragement and offer of piano lessons, I pretended not to be interested, too afraid to try. Many years passed until one day, at 25 years old, I heard that a new piano studio had opened in my neighborhood. The teacher was recruiting (招收) new students. My childhood dream came flooding back. I remembered I had initially feared becoming a teacher after graduation. However, I overcame those doubts. I refused to let fear hold me back any longer, so I walked into the studio. The teacher, Deb, welcomed me warmly. I was relieved to find we were contemporaries (同时代的人) and expressed my desire to play the works of Bach and Beethoven if I could overcome my fear. Deb understood and seemed sincere, so I signed up for 3 months of classes. Still doubtful about my commitment, I bought a small, tabletop electric organ to practice with at home. It wasn’t the same as a real piano, but enabled me to learn some basics. Week by week, I attended lessons in Deb’s studio. I often passed young students on their way out from their lessons before mine. One day, noticing the textbooks in my bag, a child stopped me and asked, “Where’s your boy?” After some hesitation, I finally answered I was the student. The children then welcomed me and I sat in the studio and listened to a piece a child was working on. Soon, I gained confidence and upgraded to a full-size piano at home for daily practice. After three rewarding years of lessons with Deb, she announced it was time for me and other students to prepare for a recital (钢琴演奏会) on stage. I was thrilled at the chance to finally fulfill my childhood dream, yet also anxious at the thought of performing before the audience. But Deb believed in me. “Look how far you’ve come,” she encouraged. “It’s time to share your gift with others.” Paragraph 1: I shook my head and told her, “No, thanks.” ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: When I finally finished my performance, I faced the audience and bowed. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Paragraph 1: I shook my head and told her “No, thanks.” Deb insisted, saying it would be a valuable experience for me to perform on stage. After much persuasion, I finally agreed. After days of hard practice, I bravely sat on stage between kids, as the only adult. After the fourth child played, I was introduced. My heart raced as I positioned my fingers over the keys before the large audience. I took a deep breath and began to play. Soon I became fully absorbed in the music, my fingers gliding smoothly over the keys. Paragraph 2: When I finally finished my performance, I faced the audience and bowed. Applause rocked the hall, which was the appreciation of my playing and performing on stage. The audience, including my proud parents and friends, rose to their feet clapping. Many took photos to capture the moment. I smiled broadly and took two more bows. If I had given in to my fear, I’d have missed this wonderful experience. I was so glad I finally achieved my childhood dream, thanks to my courage, determination, and my teacher Deb’s encouragement. 【解析】 【导语】文章以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者小时候一直梦想着弹钢琴，在音乐厅为很多观众表演。然而，自己却不敢尝试。在25岁时候，家附近开了一家钢琴工作室。在那里，作者遇到了Deb老师，在跟着老师一起上了三年卓有成效的课后，她宣布是时候让作者和其他学生准备在舞台上的独奏会了。作者为终于有机会实现儿时的梦想而激动不已，但一想到要在观众面前表演，也感到很焦虑。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段首句内容“我摇了摇头，对她说:“不用了，谢谢。””可知，第一段可描写作者在Deb老师的劝说下，上台表演的经过。 ②由第二段首句内容“当我终于结束了我的表演，我面对观众鞠躬。”可知，第二段可描写作者的表演得到了赞赏以及作者的感悟。 2.续写线索：Deb劝说作者表演——开始表演——表演得到赞赏——感到开心——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 同意：agree/approve 全神贯注于：become absorbed in/concentrate on 鼓掌：clap/applaud 实现：achieve/realize 情绪类 高兴的：glad/delighted 勇敢地：bravely/courageously 【点睛】[高分句型1] Applause rocked the hall, which was the appreciation of my playing and performing on stage.（运用了which引导非限制性定语从句） [高分句型2] If I had given in to my fear, I’d have missed this wonderful experience.（运用了虚拟语气表示与过去事实相反的假设） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 鹤华中学2025届高三江门一模热身试（英语卷） 第二部分 阅读（共两节，满分50分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳答案。 A Are you looking for your next great read?

One hand lifts the ball high, and for a moment he seems to hang in the air. Then he hammers the ball through the rim. Slam dunk! His career may look like a slam dunk, being a national champion at the University of Connecticut, and setting beginner records with the Toronto Raptors. However, life wasn’t always easy for him. His success is due to more than his ability to play basketball and he owes much of who he is today to a skin disease called alopecia areata, which is not infectious but is caused by an error in the immune system that triggers germ-fighting cells to attack the body’s own hair-growing cells. Charlie was affected at age 10 and lost all his hair by age 12. This made him a target for bullying, leading him to withdraw and hide under caps and hoods. With the support of his mother, Charlie found refuge in basketball. He channeled his frustrations and stress into motivation, improving his skills to the point where his talent overshadowed his condition. The bullying stopped, and his basketball career took off. All along the way, Charlie has consistently dedicated himself to helping others. Ever since his first year as a new player, he has served as a spokesperson for the National Alopecia Areata Foundation, and went on to establish the Charlie Villanueva Foundation, an organization aimed at supporting families with children suffering from alopecia and stopping all forms of bullying. As the son of immigrants from the· Dominican Republic, he has even worked towards ending poverty in that country. Charlie inspires young people to embrace their individuality and have confidence in themselves. “We’re all unique in our own ways,” he says, encouraging them to remember that with dedication and self-belief, any dream is within reach. 4. Why is Charlie’s slam dunk mentioned in Paragraph 1? A. To compare him with other champions. B To highlight his skills and achievements. C. To explain how a slam dunk is performed. D. To demonstrate a specific moment in a game. 5. What made Charlie avoid his peers? A. An infectious skin disease. B. His being made fun of. C. An error in the immune system. D.

C Among bearing a reputation for various characteristics ranging from the good to the bad, millennials(千禧一代) have notably been labeled the “job-hopping” generation. A Deloitte survey revealed that 49% of millennials might quit their jobs within the next two years. While some from older generations may interpret this as a sign of laziness, a deeper look suggests more complex motivations. At first glance, there are a variety of reasons and circumstances that may lead a person to job hop occasionally. However, beyond the conventional reasons like obtaining better salaries or greater job stability, many millennials have been increasingly motivated by value-driven goals. Surveys show that some go to the extent of suffering pay cuts to pursue positions that provide better learning opportunities. Additionally, some even quit their positions for companies which are aligned with their value system better. In response to such a trend, employers are taking steps to improve workplace culture and to pay more attention to the professional growth and development of individuals. Visibly, Millennials’ boldness in pursuing new job opportunities is also shaped by emerging economic trends and novel business models, such as the gig economy, where self-employed and temporary work caters to those who value flexibility and work-life balance. Additionally, social media has created new career paths, from blogging to content creation, leading more millennials to leave traditional desk jobs for unconventional careers. Hence, one can’t say for certain that job-hopping indicates laziness. Instead, it shows millennials’ wandering off the beaten track to explore new opportunities and development. However, job-hopping remains controversial. Some employers appreciate the diversity in experience and skills job-hopping brings about, while others view it negatively, seeing it as a lack of commitment. There is concern that millennials, raised in relatively prosperous times, may possess less patience and resilience. Yet, at a materialistic society, millennial generation’s pursuit of meaning in their careers offers inspiration. They should never be discouraged to define new horizons of success when their career decisions are driven by healthy ambition and an appetite for upskilling. 8. What phenomenon does the first paragraph describe? A. Millennials switch jobs frequently. B. Millennials are reluctant to seek jobs. C. Millennials have fewer job opportunities. D. Millennials are particular about their jobs. 9. The underlined phrase “are aligned with” in Paragraph 2 can be replaced by . A. go beyond B. correspond to C. conflict with D. compete against 10. The emerging gig economy attracts Millennials in that it allows for . A. decent income B. high social status C. definite freedom D. self-paced schedule 11. What is the author’s view on the job-hopping generation? A. They are characterized by laziness. B. They lack diverse work experience. C. They prioritize individual fulfillment. D. They should bear more responsibility. D In the video game Space Invaders Extreme 2, a player has to fire weapons to destroy aliens (外星人) attacking Earth. These aliens move fast, raining down from the top of the screen and claiming a player’s “life” if they reach the bottom. A study in Nature suggests that while destroying digital aliens might seem unrelated to distinguishing between words, such action video games may help children at risk for developmental dyslexia—a genetic (遗传的, 基因的) language disorder that makes processing words difficult—by improving their ability to perceive spoken words and sounds. In the study, 79 prereading children with family histories of dyslexia took several language tests, including listening for differences in made-up words—a task that can be challenging for dyslexic people. The kids were then split into four groups. One played Space Invaders Extreme 2, a second played a non-action video game, a third attended speech therapy (疗法), and a fourth received no intervention. Gamers played four times a week for 45 minutes each over a month and a half, and those in speech therapy attended 45-minute sessions twice weekly over about four months. By the end of the trial more than 80 percent of the Space Invaders players were significantly better at the word-identification task than before, and they showed greater improvements than any of the other three groups. The researchers aren’t sure why scores on the other language tests did not improve notably—but they say that this finding could be valuable. “If we can target these small cognitive (认知的) functions before children are older and lose some brain plasticity, then perhaps we can treat aspects of dyslexia before they’ve fully formed, ” says Simone Gori, co-author of the study. Dyslexia often goes untreated in Italy’s overburdened public health and school systems, says Marilu Tempini, a behavioral neurologist at the University of California. She hopes to see larger future studies conducted in other languages as well. “Eyes are an extension of the brain, ” she says, “so when we play video games, it's directly connected to our cognitive function—and there is so much research potential there. ” 12. The author describes Space Invaders Extreme 2 in paragraph 1 to show the game is ________. A. violent B. skill-based C. action-packed D. entertaining 13. According to Simone Gori, what is the significance of the finding? A. It proves that children with dyslexia can be cured. B. It offers hope that the public health system in Italy will be improved. C. It suggests that video games can replace the traditional speech therapy. D. It indicates that action video games can be used for early intervention of dyslexia. 14. What is Marilu Tempini’s attitude towards the study? A. Doubtful. B. Favorable. C. Dismissive. D. Conserved. 15. Which of the following might be a suitable title for the text? A. Secrets Behind Dyslexia Revealed B. Action Video Games Advance Word Awareness C. The Most Effective Coping Strategy for Dyslexia D. Video Games Designed to Improve Cognitive Function 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能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 The average American generates five pounds of trash per day, according to the U.

However, I struggled to understand the musical notes and the theory. Despite my parents’ encouragement and offer of piano lessons, I pretended not to be interested, too afraid to try. Many years passed until one day, at 25 years old, I heard that a new piano studio had opened in my neighborhood. The teacher was recruiting (招收) new students. My childhood dream came flooding back. I remembered I had initially feared becoming a teacher after graduation. However, I overcame those doubts. I refused to let fear hold me back any longer, so I walked into the studio. The teacher, Deb, welcomed me warmly. I was relieved to find we were contemporaries (同时代的人) and expressed my desire to play the works of Bach and Beethoven if I could overcome my fear. Deb understood and seemed sincere, so I signed up for 3 months of classes. Still doubtful about my commitment, I bought a small, tabletop electric organ to practice with at home. It wasn’t the same as a real piano, but enabled me to learn some basics. Week by week, I attended lessons in Deb’s studio. I often passed young students on their way out from their lessons before mine. One day, noticing the textbooks in my bag, a child stopped me and asked, “Where’s your boy?” After some hesitation, I finally answered I was the student. The children then welcomed me and I sat in the studio and listened to a piece a child was working on. Soon, I gained confidence and upgraded to a full-size piano at home for daily practice. After three rewarding years of lessons with Deb, she announced it was time for me and other students to prepare for a recital (钢琴演奏会) on stage. I was thrilled at the chance to finally fulfill my childhood dream, yet also anxious at the thought of performing before the audience. But Deb believed in me. “Look how far you’ve come,” she encouraged. “It’s time to share your gift with others.” Paragraph 1: I shook my head and told her, “No, thanks.” ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: When I finally finished my performance, I faced the audience and bowed. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
