B Photographer Ashley Suszczynski traces back her passion for art to her childhood years. Particularly, to making puppets (木偶) out of brown paper bags and throwing shows with her grandma. This later evolved into a love of science fiction and escaping to adventure lands populated by mythical creatures. This feeling of wonder runs through her project Masked masquerade (蒙面舞会) series, which sees her travelling through Europe to record a visually striking branch of ancient folk customs. “Several years ago, I saw photographs of a masquerade in the north of Spain called ‘La Vijanera,’” Suszczynski says. “The characters looked like those I had imagined from the pages of my childhood stories. There was everything from fur-covered creatures to masked tree fairies and spirits of the woodlands. I flew to Spain for a week to attend, and just like that, a passion was born.” After this, Suszczynski began researching more European masked masquerades, hoping to learn about their history, characters, and symbolism. The festivals typically celebrated common themes involving seasonal change, life, and happiness. “In each masquerade I feels like being transported into a different fairy tale novel from my childhood. It is an honor that instead of simply escaping into these fantastic stories, I can now share them through my photographs,” she shares. The project has taken her to Spain, Bulgaria, and Portugal, where she has photographed groups with designed costumes and masks. For Suszczynski, the entire process is a wild ride. “When I plan a ‘trip’ it’s usually around an event, and I’ll go to the event — the carnival, the parade, whatever it is — but that’s only the tip of the iceberg. That is the foot in the door,” she says. Besides, she tries her best to overcome the language barrier. But the photographer describes the whole process as an adventure worth paying. “I’ll have friends for life made from these photos. I am so thankful for each and every person I have photographed. They love to teach about their culture. They love for people to learn about their culture, to bring it to light,” Suszczynski concludes. 24. What is the primary focus of Ashley Suszczynski’s Masked masquerade series? A. Documenting creature evolution in Europe. B. Recording modern European street fashion. C. Exploring masking traditions through photos. D. Investigating the history of puppet shows in Europe. 25. What did Suszczynski mainly intend to show in paragraph 2? A. The origin of the project. B. Her childhood stories. C. A masquerade in Spain. D. The background of her works. 26. How does Suszczynski feel about her work on the project? A. Tough and embarrassing. B. Relaxing but dangerous. C. Meaningful and effortless. D. Challenging but rewarding. 27. What can we know about the people photographed by Suszczynski from the last paragraph? A. They share a common interest in photography. B. They are actively involved in spreading their culture. C. They got financial returns offered by Suszczynski. D. They appreciate being integrated with other cultures. C Climate change is largely responsible for the mass die-off of our planet’s coral reefs (珊瑚礁), as stress caused by higher water temperatures causes corals to drive away the algae (藻类) living within them. The loss of that life-giving algae isn’t the only problem, however. Stressed corals are also more likely to be infected by naturally occurring bacteria. In the past, populations of those extremely small living things were kept to manageable levels by sea cucumbers (海参), which feed on seafloor sediment (沉积物). Unfortunately, due to over-harvesting for use in the Asian seafood market, sea cucumbers are now becoming increasingly rare in many regions. In order to see just how crucial the animals are to coral health, a Georgia Tech team led by Mark Hay and Cody Clements conducted a series of field experiments in the South Pacific Ocean. Near the island of Mo’orea in French Polynesia, the scientists left existing sea cucumbers in 10 plots of sandy seabed and removed them from 10 others, then planted five coral groups in each of the plots. Those plots were subsequently inspected on a daily basis for a period of 45 days. It was ultimately found that coral death rate caused by sediment-associated diseases was 15 times greater in the sea-cucumber-less plots. Hay and Clements now hope that their findings will motivate governments and other groups to implement stricter limits on the harvesting of sea cucumbers, and to begin raising the animals for release onto corals that are in need of protection. Farmed sea cucumbers could potentially also find use in keeping fish farms clean, and possibly even delaying certain diseases. “If you remove all the sediment eaters in the great fish tank of Earth, you’re going to get a dirty tank eventually,” said Clements. “People have paid lip service to the idea that sea cucumbers could be important for a long time, but we didn’t know the scale of their importance until now.” 28. Why are sea cucumbers important for coral health? A. They directly provide nutrients to corals. B. They help to reduce disease risk to corals. C. They produce algae essential for coral life. D. They drive the harmful algae away from corals. 29. What was the key difference between the two sets of plots in the experiment? A. The presence or absence of sea cucumbers. B. The types of coral groups planted in them. C. The quantity of seafloor sediment in each plot. D. The frequency of inspections over the 45-day period. 30. What did Hay and Clements appeal for? A. A ban on seafood harvesting in the tested region. B. The establishment of new coral reserves worldwide. C. The adoption of more sea cucumber conservation practices. D. Further study on the uses of farmed sea cucumbers in medicine. 31. What do Clements’ words imply in the last paragraph? A. The importance of sea cucumbers was greatly overstated. B. Sea cucumbers were considered insignificant for a long time. C. People have already taken measures to protect sea cucumbers. D. Sea cucumbers play a vital role in keeping marine ecosystem healthy. D “Zero distractions.” That’s what Cal Newport, author of Digital Minimalism: Choosing a Focused Life in a Noisy World, says is required to have a session of focused productivity he calls “deep work.” Are zero-distraction moments even available to most of us these days? After all, every technical innovation that makes our lives more convenient, like phones and apps and streaming entertainment, is built for a multi-tasking lifestyle. Listen to music. Add to your grocery list. Press “buy” on an online shopping cart. Reserve a table for this weekend. All of these are things many of us do at the same time — and all too often while we’re doing something else, like working. Newport described the snags of this lifestyle in an interview with The New York Times: “Every time you switch your attention from one target to another and then back again, there’s a cost. This switching creates an effect that psychologists call attention residue (残留), which can reduce your cognitive (认知的) capacity for a substantial amount of time before it clears. If you constantly make ‘quick checks’ of various devices and inboxes, you essentially keep yourself in a state of persistent attention residue, which is a terrible idea if you’re someone who uses your brain to make a living.” Instead of moving quickly from activity to activity, Newport urges us to actively make time for “deep work” every day, time when we are engaged in cognitively challenging tasks without interruption from anything else. This could be knitting or reading or learning a language or meeting a professional goal. The important part is that it needs to be an activity you can commit to investing your energy in wholeheartedly. Getting in the habit of working deeply will, says Newport, lead you to the unavoidable conclusion that “concentration is a super power.” What in your life would you like to approach with a “deep work” mentality? 32. What can be inferred about zero-distractions moments from paragraph 2? A. They are available to most people. B. They result from technical innovation. C. Most people don’t need them at all. D. It is hard to obtain them nowadays. 33. What does the underlined word “snags” mean in paragraph 3? A. Disadvantages. B. Features. C. Potentials. D. Principles. 34. What does Newport recommend doing according to the text? A. Reducing the use of technology. B. Doing one thing deeply at a time. C. Listening to music while working. D. Balancing multiple activities effectively. 35. Which of the following could be the best title for the text? A. Multitasking: A Modern Lifestyle B. The Challenges of Zero Distractions C. Deep Work: The Key to Focused Productivity D. The Power of Attention Residue in a Noisy World 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。 In a world full of stresses and uncertainties, adopting a positive mindset can be a game-changer. ____36____ It can enhance our mental and physical well-being, improve our relationships, and even boost our success in various efforts.

Equipped with backpacks filled with water, snacks, and a map, they were excited to explore the great outdoors. As they walked along the well-marked track, chatting and laughing, the weather took an unexpected turn. Dark clouds rolled in quickly, swallowing the sun. The wind started to roar, and soon, rain poured down heavily. The path became slippery, and visibility dropped significantly. Lily, trying to keep up everyone’s spirits, suggested they find a place to take shelter. They spotted a small cave on the side of the hill and made their way towards it. Inside the cave, the air was damp and cold. As they gathered closely together, waiting for the storm to pass, they realized they had left their emergency flashlight in Jack’s backpack, which he had accidentally dropped on the trail during their rush to the cave. After what seemed like hours, the rain finally stopped, but the sky remained cloudy. When they stepped out of the cave, they were shocked to find that the track was no longer recognizable. Mudslides had occurred, and large stones blocked their way back. To make matters worse, Jack checked his phone and found that there was no signal. With a sense of unease coming in, they knew they had to find a way out of the mountains before nightfall. They decided to follow a small stream they saw, hoping it would lead them to a more familiar path or a nearby village. As they walked along the stream, the path became increasingly difficult, with steep slopes (陡坡) and thick underbrush. Suddenly, Emma let out a scream. She had stepped on a loose rock and twisted her ankle badly. Lily and Jack rushed to her side, their faces filled with worry. Now, not only did they have to find their way out, but they also had to help their injured friend. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Lily and Jack exchanged anxious looks, their minds racing for solutions. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Just when they felt tired and hungry, Lily spotted a village in the distance. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2025届高三开年摸底联考 英语试题 注意事项： 1．答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、考生号等填写在答题卡上。 2．回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上。写在本试卷上无效。 3．考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 考试时间为120分钟，满分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。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. 【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 What are the speakers doing?

A 18. C 19. B 20. A 【解析】 【原文】The US Postal system was established on July 26th, 1775, with founding father, Benjamin Franklin as the first Postmaster General. It set into motion much of what we think of today as mail delivery. And that system mostly relies on the tireless dedication of US mail carriers. If you think postal delivery people riding around on scooters is a new thing, we’re here to tell you: mailmen have been delivering mail by scooter for more than a century. Did you know that women have been working as mail carriers since the turn of the 20th century? Women were initially employed only to service rural routes. However, by 1917, female mail carriers had begun taking city routes. Today, more than one-third of all letter carriers are women. The first official airmail was delivered on May 15th, 1918. Officer James Clark Edgerton was the youngest of the six pilots who first began to fly the mail. He got the job because of his father who worked for the US Post Office Department, according to the Smithsonian Postal Museum. Then about another pilot of the six… 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、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A Green Valley Music Festival Are you ready to relax yourself in a world of music and nature?

Particularly, to making puppets (木偶) out of brown paper bags and throwing shows with her grandma. This later evolved into a love of science fiction and escaping to adventure lands populated by mythical creatures. This feeling of wonder runs through her project Masked masquerade (蒙面舞会) series, which sees her travelling through Europe to record a visually striking branch of ancient folk customs. “Several years ago, I saw photographs of a masquerade in the north of Spain called ‘La Vijanera,’” Suszczynski says. “The characters looked like those I had imagined from the pages of my childhood stories. There was everything from fur-covered creatures to masked tree fairies and spirits of the woodlands. I flew to Spain for a week to attend, and just like that, a passion was born.” After this, Suszczynski began researching more European masked masquerades, hoping to learn about their history, characters, and symbolism. The festivals typically celebrated common themes involving seasonal change, life, and happiness. “In each masquerade I feels like being transported into a different fairy tale novel from my childhood. It is an honor that instead of simply escaping into these fantastic stories, I can now share them through my photographs,” she shares. The project has taken her to Spain, Bulgaria, and Portugal, where she has photographed groups with designed costumes and masks. For Suszczynski, the entire process is a wild ride. “When I plan a ‘trip’ it’s usually around an event, and I’ll go to the event — the carnival, the parade, whatever it is — but that’s only the tip of the iceberg. That is the foot in the door,” she says. Besides, she tries her best to overcome the language barrier. But the photographer describes the whole process as an adventure worth paying. “I’ll have friends for life made from these photos. I am so thankful for each and every person I have photographed. They love to teach about their culture. They love for people to learn about their culture, to bring it to light,” Suszczynski concludes. 24. What is the primary focus of Ashley Suszczynski’s Masked masquerade series? A. Documenting creature evolution in Europe. B. Recording modern European street fashion. C. Exploring masking traditions through photos. D. Investigating the history of puppet shows in Europe. 25. What did Suszczynski mainly intend to show in paragraph 2? A. The origin of the project. B. Her childhood stories. C. A masquerade in Spain. D. The background of her works. 26. How does Suszczynski feel about her work on the project? A. Tough and embarrassing. B. Relaxing but dangerous. C. Meaningful and effortless. D. Challenging but rewarding. 27. What can we know about the people photographed by Suszczynski from the last paragraph? A. They share a common interest in photography. B. They are actively involved in spreading their culture. C. They got financial returns offered by Suszczynski. D. They appreciate being integrated with other cultures. 【答案】24. C 25. A 26. D 27. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍摄影师深入探讨欧洲古代蒙面仪式的象征意义。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“This feeling of wonder runs through her project Masked masquerade (蒙面舞会) series, which sees her travelling through Europe to record a visually striking branch of ancient folk customs. (这种奇妙的感觉贯穿于她的《蒙面舞会》系列中，在该系列中，她漫游欧洲，记录古代民间传说中一个视觉上引人注目的分支)”和第三段““In each masquerade I feels like being transported into a different fairy tale novel from my childhood. It is an honor that instead of simply escaping into these fantastic stories, I can now share them through my photographs,” she shares.(“在每次化妆舞会中，我都感觉自己从童年时代进入了一本不同的童话小说。这是一种荣幸，而不是简单地逃避这些奇妙的故事，我现在可以通过我的照片分享它们，”她分享道)”可知，《蒙面舞会》的主要核心是用摄影探究蒙面传统。故选C。 【25题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“I flew to Spain for a week to attend, and just like that, a passion was born. (我飞往西班牙一周参加，就这样，一种痴迷诞生了)”可知，本段作者主要讲述的是 Suszczynski如何开始这一项目的。故选A。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段““When I plan a ‘trip’ it’s usually around an event, and I’ll go to the event— the carnival, the parade, whatever it is— but that’s only the tip of the iceberg. That is the foot in the door,” she says. Besides, she tries her best to overcome the language barrier. (“当我计划‘旅行’时，通常是围绕一个活动，我会去参加活动——狂欢节、游行，不管它是什么——但这只是冰山一角。这是敲门砖。”此外，她尽最大努力克服语言障碍)”和第五段“But the photographer describes the whole process as an adventure worth paying. “I’ll have friends for life made from these photos. I am so thankful for each and every person I have photographed. They love to teach about their culture. They love for people to learn about their culture, to bring it to light,” Suszczynski concludes. (但这位摄影师将整个过程描述为一次值得花钱的冒险。“这些照片将成为我一生的朋友。我非常感谢我拍摄过的每一个人。他们喜欢传授他们的文化。他们喜欢人们了解他们的文化，把它展现出来，”Suszczynski总结道)”可知，Suszczynski认为她在这个项目中的工作虽然有挑战，但也有回报。故选D。 【27题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“They love to teach about their culture. They love for people to learn about their culture, to bring it to light. (他们喜欢传授他们的文化。他们喜欢人们了解他们的文化，并将其展现出来)”可知，Suszczynski所拍摄的人们积极参与他们的文化传播。故选B。 C Climate change is largely responsible for the mass die-off of our planet’s coral reefs (珊瑚礁), as stress caused by higher water temperatures causes corals to drive away the algae (藻类) living within them. The loss of that life-giving algae isn’t the only problem, however. Stressed corals are also more likely to be infected by naturally occurring bacteria. In the past, populations of those extremely small living things were kept to manageable levels by sea cucumbers (海参), which feed on seafloor sediment (沉积物). Unfortunately, due to over-harvesting for use in the Asian seafood market, sea cucumbers are now becoming increasingly rare in many regions. In order to see just how crucial the animals are to coral health, a Georgia Tech team led by Mark Hay and Cody Clements conducted a series of field experiments in the South Pacific Ocean. Near the island of Mo’orea in French Polynesia, the scientists left existing sea cucumbers in 10 plots of sandy seabed and removed them from 10 others, then planted five coral groups in each of the plots. Those plots were subsequently inspected on a daily basis for a period of 45 days. It was ultimately found that coral death rate caused by sediment-associated diseases was 15 times greater in the sea-cucumber-less plots. Hay and Clements now hope that their findings will motivate governments and other groups to implement stricter limits on the harvesting of sea cucumbers, and to begin raising the animals for release onto corals that are in need of protection. Farmed sea cucumbers could potentially also find use in keeping fish farms clean, and possibly even delaying certain diseases. “If you remove all the sediment eaters in the great fish tank of Earth, you’re going to get a dirty tank eventually,” said Clements. “People have paid lip service to the idea that sea cucumbers could be important for a long time, but we didn’t know the scale of their importance until now.” 28. Why are sea cucumbers important for coral health? A. They directly provide nutrients to corals. B. They help to reduce disease risk to corals. C. They produce algae essential for coral life. D. They drive the harmful algae away from corals. 29. What was the key difference between the two sets of plots in the experiment? A. The presence or absence of sea cucumbers. B. The types of coral groups planted in them. C. The quantity of seafloor sediment in each plot. D. The frequency of inspections over the 45-day period. 30. What did Hay and Clements appeal for? A. A ban on seafood harvesting in the tested region. B. The establishment of new coral reserves worldwide. C. The adoption of more sea cucumber conservation practices. D. Further study on the uses of farmed sea cucumbers in medicine. 31. What do Clements’ words imply in the last paragraph? A. The importance of sea cucumbers was greatly overstated. B. Sea cucumbers were considered insignificant for a long time. C. People have already taken measures to protect sea cucumbers. D. Sea cucumbers play a vital role in keeping marine ecosystem healthy. 【答案】28. B 29. A 30. C 31. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了海参通过吃海底沉积物来控制那些可能感染珊瑚的微生物种群数量，减少疾病危害，起到维持珊瑚健康的作用，研究人员呼吁加强海参保护以维护珊瑚礁生态。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Stressed corals are also more likely to be infected by naturally occurring bacteria. In the past, populations of those extremely small living things were kept to manageable levels by sea cucumbers (海参), which feed on seafloor sediment (沉积物). (压力大的珊瑚也更容易受到天然存在的细菌感染。过去，这些极其微小的生物数量被海参控制在可管理的水平，因为海参以海底沉积物为食)”可知，海参对珊瑚的健康很重要，因为它们有助于减少珊瑚患病的风险。故选B项。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“Near the island of Mo’orea in French Polynesia, the scientists left existing sea cucumbers in 10 plots of sandy seabed and removed them from 10 others, then planted five coral groups in each of the plots. (在法属波利尼西亚的茉莉雅岛附近，科学家们将现有的海参留在10块沙质海床上，并从另外10块中移除，然后在每块海床上种植了五组珊瑚)”可知，进行实验的两组海床地块的关键区别在于有无海参。故选A项。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段中“Hay and Clements now hope that their findings will motivate governments and other groups to implement stricter limits on the harvesting of sea cucumbers, and to begin raising the animals for release onto corals that are in need of protection. (Hay和Clements现在希望他们的发现能激励政府和其他组织对海参的捕捞实施更严格的限制，并开始养殖海参，将其放生到需要保护的珊瑚上)”可知，Hay和Clements呼吁采取更多措施保护海参。故选C项。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中Clements所说话“If you remove all the sediment eaters in the great fish tank of Earth, you’re going to get a dirty tank eventually (如果你在地球这个大鱼缸里清除所有的沉积物食用者，最终你会得到一个肮脏的鱼缸)”可知，Clements用鱼缸清洁这一比喻形象地说明如果把处理沉积物的海参移除了，海洋环境就会变差。由此可知，海参在维持健康海洋环境方面起着至关重要的作用。故选D项。 D “Zero distractions.” That’s what Cal Newport, author of Digital Minimalism: Choosing a Focused Life in a Noisy World, says is required to have a session of focused productivity he calls “deep work.” Are zero-distraction moments even available to most of us these days? After all, every technical innovation that makes our lives more convenient, like phones and apps and streaming entertainment, is built for a multi-tasking lifestyle. Listen to music. Add to your grocery list. Press “buy” on an online shopping cart. Reserve a table for this weekend. All of these are things many of us do at the same time — and all too often while we’re doing something else, like working. Newport described the snags of this lifestyle in an interview with The New York Times: “Every time you switch your attention from one target to another and then back again, there’s a cost. This switching creates an effect that psychologists call attention residue (残留), which can reduce your cognitive (认知的) capacity for a substantial amount of time before it clears. If you constantly make ‘quick checks’ of various devices and inboxes, you essentially keep yourself in a state of persistent attention residue, which is a terrible idea if you’re someone who uses your brain to make a living.” Instead of moving quickly from activity to activity, Newport urges us to actively make time for “deep work” every day, time when we are engaged in cognitively challenging tasks without interruption from anything else. This could be knitting or reading or learning a language or meeting a professional goal. The important part is that it needs to be an activity you can commit to investing your energy in wholeheartedly. Getting in the habit of working deeply will, says Newport, lead you to the unavoidable conclusion that “concentration is a super power.” What in your life would you like to approach with a “deep work” mentality? 32. What can be inferred about zero-distractions moments from paragraph 2? A. They are available to most people. B. They result from technical innovation. C. Most people don’t need them at all. D. It is hard to obtain them nowadays. 33. What does the underlined word “snags” mean in paragraph 3? A. Disadvantages. B. Features. C. Potentials. D. Principles. 34. What does Newport recommend doing according to the text? A. Reducing the use of technology. B. Doing one thing deeply at a time. C. Listening to music while working. D. Balancing multiple activities effectively. 35. Which of the following could be the best title for the text? A. Multitasking: A Modern Lifestyle B. The Challenges of Zero Distractions C. Deep Work: The Key to Focused Productivity D. The Power of Attention Residue in a Noisy World 【答案】32. D 33. A 34. B 35. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。介绍一次只做一件事很重要，深度工作是专注生产力的关键。 【32题详解】 推理判断题。第二段“Are zero-distraction moments even available to most of us these days? After all, every technical innovation that makes our lives more convenient, like phones and apps and streaming entertainment, is built for a multi-tasking lifestyle. Listen to music. Add to your grocery list. Press “buy” on an online shopping cart. Reserve a table for this weekend. All of these are things many of us do at the same time— and all too often while we’re doing something else, like working.(现在我们大多数人都能享受零分心时刻吗？毕竟，每一项让我们的生活更方便的技术创新，比如手机、应用程序和流媒体娱乐，都是为多任务生活方式而设计的。听音乐。添加到你的购物清单中。在网上购物车中按“购买”键。预订一张这周末的桌子。所有这些都是我们很多人同时做的事情——而且经常是在我们做其他事情的时候，比如工作)”可知，这些都是我们许多人同时做的事情，而且常常是在我们做其他事情比如工作时做的。由此推断，零分心时刻很难获得。故选D项。 【33题详解】 词句猜测题。根据后文““Every time you switch your attention from one target to another and then back again, there’s a cost. This switching creates an effect that psychologists call attention residue (残留), which can reduce your cognitive (认知的) capacity for a substantial amount of time before it clears. If you constantly make ‘quick checks’ of various devices and inboxes, you essentially keep yourself in a state of persistent attention residue, which is a terrible idea if you’re someone who uses your brain to make a living.”(“每次你把注意力从一个目标转移到另一个目标，然后再转移回来，都是有代价的。这种转换产生了一种心理学家称之为“注意力残留”的效应，它会在相当长的一段时间内降低你的认知能力。如果你不断地‘快速检查’各种设备和收件箱，你基本上会让自己处于持续的注意力残留状态，如果你是一个靠大脑谋生的人，这是一个糟糕的主意。”)”可知，此处是Newport在描述这种生活方式的缺点，推知snags应是“缺点”之意，和A项意思相近。故选A项。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Instead of moving quickly from activity to activity, Newport urges us to actively make time for “deep work” every day, time when we are engaged in cognitively challenging tasks without interruption from anything else. This could be knitting or reading or learning a language or meeting a professional goal. The important part is that it needs to be an activity you can commit to investing your energy in wholeheartedly.(Newport敦促我们每天积极地腾出时间进行“深度工作”，而不是快速地从一个活动转移到另一个活动，这是我们从事具有认知挑战性的任务而不受其他任何事情干扰的时间。这可以是编织、阅读、学习一门语言或实现一个职业目标。重要的是，它需要是一项你能全身心投入精力的活动)”可知，Newport建议每次深入地做一件事。故选B项。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。文章首段提出话题“零分心”就是 Cal Newport 所说的“深度工作”所需的状态。下文叙述零分心不易，敦促我们每天积极腾出时间进行“深度工作”，养成深入工作的习惯将使你不可避免地得出“专注是一种超级力量”的结论。由此可知，C项“深度工作：专注生产力的关键”符合文章内容，适合作文章标题。故选C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可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 In a world full of stresses and uncertainties, adopting a positive mindset can be a game-changer. ____36____ It can enhance our mental and physical well-being, improve our relationships, and even boost our success in various efforts.

I reached a repairman only to find that he was overwhelmed by”和下文“from people in similar circumstances”可知，因为天气寒冷且电炉故障，很多人都需要修理工，所以修理工收到很多类似的“请求”，他被处于类似情况的人们的请求淹没了。故选C。 【42题详解】 考查连词词义辨析。句意：我联系了一位修理工，却发现他被处于类似情况的人们的请求淹没了，要过8天才能有人到这里来。A. before在……之前；B. since自从；C. after在……之后；D. unless除非。根据下文“someone could arrive here”可知，要过8天才能有人到这里来，“It would be+时间段+before...”是固定句型，表示“要过……时间才……”。故选A。 【43题详解】 考查副词词义辨析。句意：我急忙去了当地的五金店，买了两个取暖器。A. apparently显然地；B. frequently频繁地；C. hesitantly犹豫地；D. hurriedly急忙地。根据下文“went to the local hardware store and bought two space heaters”可知，由于电炉无法及时修理，天气又冷，所以作者“急忙”去买取暖器。故选D。 【44题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：通过把它们从白天的客厅移动到晚上的卧室，到目前为止我们虽然有点凉但还算舒适。A. moving移动；B. hanging悬挂；C. abandoning抛弃；D. connecting连接。根据下文“them from living room during the day to the bedrooms at night”可知，此处指把取暖器“移动”位置，白天取暖器在客厅，晚上把它们移动到卧室。故选A。 【45题详解】 考查形容词词义辨析。句意：通过白天把它们从客厅移动到晚上的卧室，到目前为止我们虽然有点凉但还算舒适。A. comfortable舒适的；B. stable稳定的；C. hopeful有希望的；D. convenient方便的。根据上文“went to the local hardware store and bought two space heaters”可知，有了取暖器，虽然不至于很暖和，但还是能让人感觉“舒适”。故选A。 【46题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：然而，这件事让我想起了我童年冬天的回忆。A. adventures冒险；B. memories回忆；C. accidents事故；D. performances表演。根据上文“One thing this did, however, was to remind me of my own childhood winter”和下文“I remembered as a boy”可知，下文讲述的是童年冬天的事，所以是这件事唤起了作者童年“回忆”。故选B。 【47题详解】 考查动词短语辨析。句意：我记得小时候在寒冷的冬日醒来，迅速穿上厚袜子、牛仔裤和外套，走进客厅，那里有一个烧木柴的炉子为整个房子供暖。A. driving away赶走；B. waking up醒来；C. stepping in走进；D. leaving off停止。根据上文 “quickly pulling on thick socks, jean, and a coat”可知，这些是早上“醒来”后的动作。故选B。 【48题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：我记得小时候在寒冷的冬日醒来，迅速穿上厚袜子、牛仔裤和外套，走进客厅，那里有一个烧木柴的炉子为整个房子供暖。A. decorated装饰；B. bonded使结合；C. heated加热，供暖；D. lighted照亮。根据上文“going into the living room where a single wood stove”和下文“the whole house”可知，木炉的作用是为房子“供暖”，所以此处指那里有一个烧木柴的炉子为整个房子供暖。故选C。 【49题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：我爸爸往火里添柴，我们都围在炉子旁取暖。A. reception接待；B. reunion团聚；C. warmth温暖；D. rescue救援。根据上文“My dad added wood to the fire while we all gathered around it for”可知，围在烧木柴的炉子旁是为了“取暖”，此处指一家人都围在炉子旁取暖。故选C。 【50题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：我记得走到外面去取木柴，手指冻僵，呼出白气，一路上都在发抖。A. confusing使困惑；B. panicking惊慌；C. shaking颤抖；D. cheering欢呼。根据上文“I remembered walking outside to fetch wood, with freezing fingers and frosty breath”可知，因为天气寒冷，所以取木柴时会“颤抖”，所以此处指走到外面去取木柴，手指冻僵，呼出白气，一路上都在发抖。故选C。 【51题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：那时为了获得温暖要付出更多的努力，但不知为何，这让我们更加珍惜温暖。A. resign辞职；B. inspect检查；C. reflect反映；D. gain获得。根据下文“warmth back then”可知，取木柴等为获取温暖付出努力，可知此处指“获得”温暖付出更多的努力。故选D。 【52题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：那时为了获得温暖要付出更多的努力，但不知为何，这让我们更加珍惜温暖。A. miss错过；B. create创造；C. admire钦佩；D. appreciate欣赏，珍惜。根据下文“the warmth even more”可知，因为获得温暖不易，所以更加“珍惜”。故选D。 【53题详解】 考查形容词词义辨析。句意：我认为温暖不仅在我们家中，在我们心中也同样珍贵。A. precious珍贵的；B. natural自然的；C. amusing有趣的；D. challenging有挑战性的。根据下文“warmth is not only in our homes but also in our hearts”可知，作者认为温暖是“珍贵的”，不仅指家中的温暖，也指的是心中的温暖。故选A。 【54题详解】 考查形容词词义辨析。句意：这个世界有时会非常寒冷，这取决于我们是否为它增添温暖。A. fair公平的；B. cold寒冷的；C. strange奇怪的；D. fresh新鲜的。根据下文“world at times and it is up to us to add our warmth to it”可知，这里表示世界有时是“寒冷的”，这取决于我们是否为它增添温暖。故选B。 【55题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：我们奉献的心和对生活的爱将成为一个火炉，也能温暖我们周围其他人的心。A. symbol象征；B. site地点；C. lamp灯；D. stove火炉。根据下文“that can warm the hearts of others around us as well”可知，这里把爱心和对生活的爱比作能温暖人心的“火炉”，此处指我们奉献的心和对生活的爱将成为一个火炉，也能温暖我们周围其他人的心。故选D。 第二节(共10小题;每小题1.5分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 Chinese scientist Lu Qi ____56____ (award) the title of 2024 Champions of the Earth of Science and Innovation by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) for his contributions to ____57____ (address) desertification (沙漠化), land degradation and drought on last Tuesday.

Equipped with backpacks filled with water, snacks, and a map, they were excited to explore the great outdoors. As they walked along the well-marked track, chatting and laughing, the weather took an unexpected turn. Dark clouds rolled in quickly, swallowing the sun. The wind started to roar, and soon, rain poured down heavily. The path became slippery, and visibility dropped significantly. Lily, trying to keep up everyone’s spirits, suggested they find a place to take shelter. They spotted a small cave on the side of the hill and made their way towards it. Inside the cave, the air was damp and cold. As they gathered closely together, waiting for the storm to pass, they realized they had left their emergency flashlight in Jack’s backpack, which he had accidentally dropped on the trail during their rush to the cave. After what seemed like hours, the rain finally stopped, but the sky remained cloudy. When they stepped out of the cave, they were shocked to find that the track was no longer recognizable. Mudslides had occurred, and large stones blocked their way back. To make matters worse, Jack checked his phone and found that there was no signal. With a sense of unease coming in, they knew they had to find a way out of the mountains before nightfall. They decided to follow a small stream they saw, hoping it would lead them to a more familiar path or a nearby village. As they walked along the stream, the path became increasingly difficult, with steep slopes (陡坡) and thick underbrush. Suddenly, Emma let out a scream. She had stepped on a loose rock and twisted her ankle badly. Lily and Jack rushed to her side, their faces filled with worry. Now, not only did they have to find their way out, but they also had to help their injured friend. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Lily and Jack exchanged anxious looks, their minds racing for solutions. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Just when they felt tired and hungry, Lily spotted a village in the distance. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: Lily and Jack exchanged anxious looks, their minds racing for solutions. Jack quickly took off his backpack and looked through it, finding a bandage to wrap Emma’s ankle as best as he could. “We can’t leave her here,” Lily said firmly, her voice echoing with determination. They made a makeshift stretcher using branches and their jackets, carefully placing Emma on it. The going was slow and difficult as they navigated the rough path. Every step was a struggle, but their bond as friends kept them going. As the afternoon wore on, tiredness began to set in. Just when they felt tired and hungry, Lily spotted a village in the distance. Heart pounding with hope, they made their way towards it. To their joy, they found a well-used path that led down the village. With renewed energy, they quickened their pace. Finally, they reached the small village at the foot of the mountain. The villagers, kind-hearted and helpful, provided them with food, shelter, and called for medical help for Emma. Safe and sound, Lily, Jack, and Emma learned the true meaning of friendship and courage in the face of adversity. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物的冒险经历为线索展开，讲述了在一个阳光明媚的周末，Lily和她的朋友Jack、Emma去附近山上远足。天气突变，大雨倾盆，他们躲进洞穴避雨，却发现应急手电筒遗落在路上。雨停后，山路被泥石流阻断，手机也没有信号。他们沿小溪前行，Emma不慎扭伤脚踝。Lily和Jack用临时担架抬着Emma艰难前进，最终发现村庄并获救。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“Lily和Jack交换了一下焦虑的眼神，脑子里都在争分夺秒地想办法。”可知，第一段可描写Lily和Jack没有抛下Emma不管，而是想出办法处理了Emma的伤处，并带着Emma一同艰难前行。 ②由第二段首句内容“就在他们感到又累又饿的时候，Lily看到了远处的一个村庄。”可知，第二段可描写他们找到了通往村庄的小路，赶紧走过去，村民们帮助了他们，三人对友谊和勇气有了更深的领悟。 2. 续写线索：Lily和Jack想办法——Lily和Jack救助Emma——三人艰难前行——Lily发现村庄——三人前往村庄，得到帮助——领悟 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①查看：look through/go over ②找到：find/discover ③到达：reach/get to ④提供：provide/give/offer 情绪类 ①决心：determination/resolve/resolution ②高兴：joy/delight/happiness 【点睛】[高分句型1] Heart pounding with hope, they made their way towards it.
