C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章主要讲述了英国铁路网络为维护和改进铁路设施而进行的定期工程工作，特别是东南铁路在特定日期和时间段内的服务变动情况，包括列车取消、改道及替代公交服务等信息 【1题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“To maintain and improve the UK’s rail facilities, Network Rail has to carry out regular planned engineering work.(为了维护和改善英国的铁路设施，Network Rail必须进行定期的计划工程工作。)”和接着文章详细介绍了工程工作的具体时间、受影响的路线以及替代交通安排等信息可知，这是一篇关于铁路工程工作及其对相关列车服务影响的通知。故选D。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据文中“Revised late night early morning Southeastern services from Monday 20 to Friday 24 January.(1月20日（周一）至24日（周五）东南铁路深夜至清晨服务调整。)”和“Engineering work is taking place at various locations on the Southeastern network, closing some lines overnight from Monday evening until Friday morning.(东南铁路网络的多个地点正在进行工程工作，从周一晚上到周五早上，一些线路将连夜关闭。)”可知，工程工作从周一晚上开始，一直持续到周五早上，总共5天。故选A。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据Tuesday and Wednesday:部分的“The 00:26 London Cannon Street to Dartford through Greenwich will be rerouted to run through Bexleyheath. An accessible bus will run between London and Dartford Greenwich.(00:26从伦敦坎农街出发经格林威治到达特福德的列车将改道经过贝克斯利希思。一辆无障碍公交车将在伦敦和达特福德格林威治之间运行。)”可知，原本的铁路路线是经过格林威治的，但现在改道了，所以跳过了格林威治站。故选C。 B Marilynn Moe, 80, is a resident of the Homestead, a senior-living and care community in Rochester, Minnesota, managed by Mark. Mark fell for Marilynn’s charm in 2012, the day he came to interview for the job. He was standing in the hallway, hoping he didn’t look as nervous as he felt, when a stylishly dressed woman walked right up to him. “Good morning,” she said. “I’m Marilynn. I hope everything works out for you.” She gave him such a warm smile that he couldn’t help but smile back, nerves forgotten. He got the job, and it didn’t take long for him to realize what a treasure Marilynn was. She’d arrived herself only two years before, moving from Fargo. It was a huge change. She loved teaching, seeing her students’ skills and confidence grow. Would she find something as fulfilling at the Homestead? “I could have just sat in my apartment,” she says, “but I wasn’t going to do that.” Marilynn noticed that most people kept to themselves and didn’t know much about their neighbors, so she started a monthly newcomers’ get-together. One by one they’d go around the circle and share a fun fact about themselves as an icebreaker. She went to the monthly women’s breakfast. To her disappointment, only three or four others showed up. She took over, each month lining up one of the residents to give a talk about a special interest, trips they’d taken, former careers, even more weighty topics. She personally invited women to attend. It wasn’t long before the room was packed. She gave out birthday cards, using the Homestead’s monthly newsletter to get the dates. She played the piano for church services and special occasions. Marilynn didn’t notice anything different about the Homestead, but others did. “These changes you’re making, they’re great,” the residents would tell Mark. “Keep it up.” Mark knew he wasn’t the one who deserved the credit. Marilynn wasn’t trying to become a noticeable figure. She cared deeply about the people around her, doing so naturally and without intending to seek recognition. 4. How did Mark feel after meeting Marilynn in the hallway? A. Amused. B. Worried. C. Astonished. D. Relieved. 5. What does the underlined word “fulfilling” mean in Paragraph 3? A. Spiritually satisfying. B. Truly comforting. C. Extremely interesting. D. Incredibly challenging. 6. Why did Marilynn take over organizing the women’s breakfast? A. To improve its quality. B. To promote healthy eating. C. To make it more engaging. D. To show her personal power. 7. What can be inferred about Marilynn’s contributions to the community? A. They go unrecognised by Mark. B. They come from her caring nature. C. They are used to gain her influence. D. They are far from Mark’s expectation. 【答案】4. D 5. A 6. C 7. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述养老社区住户玛丽莲以无私关怀改善社区生活，传递温暖的故事。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“She gave him such a warm smile that he couldn’t help but smile back, nerves forgotten. (她给了他一个温暖的微笑，他忍不住也笑了笑，忘记了紧张。)”可知，马克在走廊遇见玛丽莲后忘记了紧张，即松了一口气，放松并如释重负的感觉。故选D。 【5题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第三段“It was a huge change. She loved teaching, seeing her students’ skills and confidence grow. (这是一个巨大的变化。她喜欢教书，看着学生的技能和信心增长。)”可知，玛丽莲在这里作教书工作，帮助学生成长，她在这的工作充实而有意义。由此推断划线单词的含义是“充实的，有意义的”。故选A。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“She went to the monthly women’s breakfast. To her disappointment, only three or four others showed up. She took over, each month lining up one of the residents to give a talk about a special interest, trips they’d taken, former careers, even more weighty topics. She personally invited women to attend. It wasn’t long before the room was packed. (她去参加每月一次的妇女早餐会。令她失望的是，只有三四个人来了。她接手了工作，每个月都安排一名住院医生来做演讲，谈论他们的特殊兴趣、旅行经历、以前的职业，甚至更重要的话题。她亲自邀请女性参加。没过多久房间里就挤满了人。)”可知，玛丽莲要接管妇女早餐的组织工作之前，很少有人参加，于是她安排演讲，谈论各种有趣，重要的话题，在这之后参加的人越来越多，由此可知，玛丽莲要接管妇女早餐的组织工作是为了吸引更多的人参与进来。故选C。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Marilynn wasn’t trying to become a noticeable figure. She cared deeply about the people around her, doing so naturally and without intending to seek recognition. (玛丽莲并不想成为一个引人注目的人物。她很自然地关心周围的人，并没有刻意寻求别人的认可。)”可知，玛丽莲做出贡献，是因为她天性善良。故选B。 C My husband, Haywood, reached retirement age after 37 years of teaching this summer. I am excited to have more time with the person I like best in the world. The only downside was his stuff. What does he do with all the books? Haywood brought home, all the books, to a house already piled up with the books passed down from our parents after they passed away. Every bookshelf in the house — and there are a lot of bookshelves in this house — was already stuffed beyond moving. People have been arguing that print is dead, or about to be dead. It is not dead in this house. We write in books. We fold pages and underline passages and draw little stars at the edges of the pages. Before the objections begin, let me say that I am 100 percent in favor of every kind of reading there is: e-books, audio books, Braille books, graphic books, you name it. Nevertheless. I will always prefer a book I can hold in my hand, the kind that smells of paper and glue. The material feel of it pleases me. For me, a book made of paper will always be a beautiful object that warms a room even as it expands (or entertains, or challenges, or informs, or comforts) a mind, and a bookcase will always represent time itself. I walk past one of our bookcases, and I can tell you exactly why a particular book is still there, never removed as space grew limited. When I reread a book from my own shelves, I meet my own younger self. I am what I have read far more surely than I am what I have eaten. By looking at our bookshelves, I can tell you who my husband was, too. Our books ensure that I am still surrounded by all the selves I have ever been, and all the selves my husband has been. I prefer the messy shelves, the folded pages, the notes written in a familiar hand. 8. What can be inferred about the Haywood family? A. They push reading broadly. B. They show off their books, C. They should limit their books. D. They have a reading tradition. 9. What is the author’s attitude towards e-books? A. Supportive. B. Grateful. C. Passionate. D. Curious. 10. Why can paper books warm a room according to the author? A. They calm people’s mind. B. They hold emotional memories. C. They decorate the room well. D. They improve the family relation. 11. What is the best title for the text? A. My Books, My Moods B. My Bookshelf, Myself C. My Tie to My Husband D. My Preference to Print Books 【答案】8. D 9. A 10. B 11. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。本文讲述了作者对纸质书的深厚情感与偏爱。作者丈夫退休后，家中书籍堆积如山，但这并未让作者感到困扰，反而让她倍感亲切。书架上的书籍见证了作者和丈夫的历程，是时间的见证者。因此，作者坚称纸质书在她心中有着不可替代的地位。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Haywood brought home, all the books, to a house already piled up with the books passed down from our parents after they passed away. Every bookshelf in the house — and there are a lot of bookshelves in this house — was already stuffed beyond moving.(海伍德把所有的书都带回家，我们的家里已经堆满了父母去世后留下的书。房子里的每个书架——这个房子里有很多书架——都已经塞得无法移动了)”可知，海伍德家族有阅读的传统。故选D。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“Before the objections begin, let me say that I am 100 percent in favor of every kind of reading there is: e-books, audio books, Braille books, graphic books, you name it.(在反对开始之前，我想说，我百分之百地支持所有的阅读方式：电子书、有声书、盲文书、图文书，应有尽有)”可知，作者对电子书的态度是支持。故选A。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第三段“For me, a book made of paper will always be a beautiful object that warms a room even as it expands (or entertains, or challenges, or informs, or comforts) a mind, and a bookcase will always represent time itself. I walk past one of our bookcases, and I can tell you exactly why a particular book is still there, never removed as space grew limited.(对我来说，一本纸做的书永远是一件美丽的东西，它温暖了一个房间，即使它扩展了（或娱乐，或挑战，或告知，或安慰）一个心灵，书柜永远代表着时间本身。当我走过我们的一个书柜时，我可以确切地告诉你为什么某本书还在那里，因为空间变得有限而从未移走)”可知，纸书可以温暖房间是因为它们拥有情感记忆。故选B。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段“Our books ensure that I am still surrounded by all the selves I have ever been, and all the selves my husband has been. I prefer the messy shelves, the folded pages, the notes written in a familiar hand.(我们的书确保我仍然被我曾经的自己和我丈夫曾经的自己所包围。我更喜欢凌乱的书架，折叠的书页，用熟悉的笔迹写的笔记)”以及本文讲述了作者对纸质书的深厚情感与偏爱。作者丈夫退休后，家中书籍堆积如山，但这并未让作者感到困扰，反而让她倍感亲切，书架上的书籍见证了作者和丈夫的历程，是时间的见证者，因此，作者坚称纸质书在她心中有着不可替代的地位，可知，B选项“我的书架和我自己”最符合文章标题。故选B。 D When Sherlock Holmes asked Dr. Watson to consider the previous night’s “curious incident” involving a dog, Watson replied that nothing had happened. “That was the curious incident,” observed Holmes. This clue enabled Holmes to conclude that the murderer must have been someone familiar to the victim’s dog because the dog did not bark when the murderer appeared. Most people would miss this important clue because, like Watson, they pay little attention to non-occurrences. In everyday life, consumers often make decisions based on brief descriptions of products in advertisements and other one-sided promotional materials. Why are people willing to make decisions based on limited information? People are accustomed to using whatever evidence is readily available to them — however insufficient — at the expense of other information that persuaders fail to mention. Omission neglect (insensitivity to unmentioned options, features, issues, or possibilities) is particularly problematic given the nature of the world. Information describing alternatives — such as job applicants, consumer products, medical procedures, and decision outcomes — varies dramatically across situations. Some alternatives are discussed at considerable length, while others are described only briefly. To some extent, nearly everything is described in terms of limited or incomplete evidence. Research on omission neglect has shown that people often fail to detect the absence of important missing information, and this leads people to form strong beliefs on the basis of weak evidence. Strong beliefs are beliefs that are overly extreme and held with a high degree of confidence. In general, people should form more extreme beliefs when more rather than less information is available. However, when people are insensitive to omissions, people form extreme beliefs regardless of how little is known about a topic, according to Sanbonmatsu’s conclusion. The results of research published by Sanbonmatsu suggest that omission neglect occurs because missing information is not very noticeable. To the extent that this is true, omission neglect should be reduced when the importance of missing information is enhanced. More moderate judgments are made when people are sensitive to omissions due to a clear warning that the given information is incomplete, due to very high levels of prior knowledge about the target object or issue, or due to comparison processes that make it painfully obvious that some objects are described by a large amount of information whereas others are described by a small amount. 12. What led Sherlock Holmes to his conclusion? A Watson’s peculiar reply. B. His observation of the victim. C. The absence of the dog’s barking. D. The time of the murderer’s appearance. 13. What do people tend to do when making decisions? A. Analyse the persuaders. B. Gather more information. C. Assess the influence of the decisions. D. Fail to notice what is unmentioned. 14. What is Sanbonmatsu’s conclusion? A. More information builds confidence. B. Weak evidence can lead to strong beliefs. C. Most people like to challenge themselves. D. It is hard to know everything about a topic. 15. What does the last paragraph intend to do? A. Debate about the truth of information. B. Warn people against incomplete information. C. Increase the awareness of missing information. D. Improve people’s ability to compare information. 【答案】12. C 13. D 14. B 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文，主要讲述了人们在决策时往往忽略未提及的信息，即“遗漏忽视”(omission neglect)现象，并通过福尔摩斯的例子说明了这一现象的影响。文章还引用了Sanbonmatsu的研究，指出人们如何因遗漏忽视而形成极端信念，并提出了减少遗漏忽视的方法。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“This clue enabled Holmes to conclude that the murderer must have been someone familiar to the victim’s dog because the dog did not bark when the murderer appeared.(这一线索使福尔摩斯得出结论，凶手一定是受害者狗熟悉的人，因为狗在凶手出现时没有吠叫。)”可知，福尔摩斯是通过狗没有吠叫这一现象得出凶手是熟人这一结论的。故选C。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“People are accustomed to using whatever evidence is readily available to them — however insufficient — at the expense of other information that persuaders fail to mention.(人们习惯于使用他们容易获得的任何证据——无论多么不充分——而忽略了说服者未提及的其他信息)”可知，人们在决策时往往会忽略未提及的信息。故选D。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Research on omission neglect has shown that people often fail to detect the absence of important missing information, and this leads people to form strong beliefs on the basis of weak evidence.(关于遗漏忽视的研究表明，人们往往无法察觉到重要信息的缺失，这导致人们基于薄弱的证据形成强烈的信念)”和“However, when people are insensitive to omissions, people form extreme beliefs regardless of how little is known about a topic, according to Sanbonmatsu’s conclusion.(然而，根据Sanbonmatsu的结论，当人们对遗漏不敏感时，人们就会形成极端的信念，而不管对一个话题了解有多少。)”可知，Sanbonmatsu的结论是薄弱的证据可能导致强烈的信念。故选B。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第四段“The results of research published by Sanbonmatsu suggest that omission neglect occurs because missing information is not very noticeable. To the extent that this is true, omission neglect should be reduced when the importance of missing information is enhanced. More moderate judgments are made when people are sensitive to omissions due to a clear warning that the given information is incomplete, due to very high levels of prior knowledge about the target object or issue, or due to comparison processes that make it painfully obvious that some objects are described by a large amount of information whereas others are described by a small amount.(Sanbonmatsu发表的研究结果表明，遗漏忽视的发生是因为缺失的信息不是很明显。在这种情况下，当缺失信息的重要性增强时，应减少遗漏忽视。当人们对遗漏敏感时，会做出更温和的判断，因为有明确的警告称给定的信息是不完整的，由于对目标对象或问题的先验知识水平很高，或者由于比较过程，很明显一些对象是由大量信息描述的，而另一些对象则是由少量信息描述的)”可推知结论，最后一段的目的是提高人们对缺失信息的意识。故选C。 第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Picture this: you’re tramping through the rugged wilderness, surrounded by towering trees and breathtaking views. The sense of adventure is exhilarating, but what happens if you take a wrong turn or find yourself in an emergency? ____16____ It is a small device that is on a satellite network with good coverage across New Iceland. When you go adventures, PLBs can make a difference in ensuring your safety. Peace of mind The idea of carrying a PLB provides a significant boost in peace of mind. ____17____ Whether trekking through familiar trails or venturing into uncharted territory, a PLB ensures you’re never truly alone in an emergency. Equip yourself with this essential device and hike with the confidence that help is always within reach. Reliable connection Unlike mobile phones, which can lose signal or run out of battery, PLBs are designed to work in the most challenging environments. They operate on dedicated frequencies and have excellent batteries that can last for years without needing a charge. ____18____ A PLB’s signal can penetrate dense forests, deep canyons, and even stormy weather, ensuring your call for help gets through. ____19____ Investing in a PLB doesn’t have to break the bank. Prices for these devices have become more accessible and considering the potential cost of an unplanned search and rescue mission, a PLB is a small price to pay for your safety. ____20____ A PLB is necessary for any serious tramper. Its ability to provide a reliable, lifesaving connection to rescue services, regardless of your location, cannot be overstated. A. Spot tracker B. Affordable Safety C. This reliability is crucial when every second counts. D. If you can’t afford one, they are readily available for hire as well. E. This is where a Personal Locator Beacon (PLB) becomes an invaluable tool. F. They use a different network to PLBs and have less coverage and a weaker signal. G. Knowing you have a direct line to rescue services allows you to explore more confidently. 【答案】16. E 17. G 18. C 19. B 20. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文，文章介绍了个人定位信标（PLB）在冒险时如何确保安全。 【16题详解】 上文“what happens if you take a wrong turn or find yourself in an emergency?(如果你走错了路或发现自己处于紧急状态会发生什么呢？)”提到一个困境，下文“It is a small device that is on a satellite network with good coverage across New Iceland.(这是一个小型设备，在卫星网络上，覆盖整个新冰岛)”介绍了一种救援设备，空处应是引入这个设备，E项“这就是个人定位信标（PLB）成为宝贵工具的地方”符合语境，下文的“It”指代E项中的“Personal Locator Beacon (PLB)”，故选E。 【17题详解】 根据本段小标题“Peace of mind(安心)”和上文“The idea of carrying a PLB provides a significant boost in peace of mind.(携带 PLB的想法可以大大促进内心的平静)”可知，本段主要讲携带这个设备让人安心，G项“知道你有直接的救援服务可以让你更自信地探索”符合本段主旨，故选G。 【18题详解】 根据本段小标题“Reliable connection(可靠的连接)”和下文“A PLB’s signal can penetrate dense forests, deep canyons, and even stormy weather, ensuring your call for help gets through.(PLB的信号可以穿透茂密的森林、深谷，甚至是暴风雨天气，确保你的求救信号能够传递出去)”可知，PLB信号连接可靠，下文提到这种可靠的信号连接在紧急情况下的重要性，C项“当每一秒都很重要时，这种可靠性至关重要”符合语境，C项中“when every second counts”呼应下文的“dense forests, deep canyons, and even stormy weather”，故选C。 【19题详解】 空处是段落小标题，根据本段中“Investing in a PLB doesn’t have to break the bank. Prices for these devices have become more accessible(投资PLB不一定会让你倾家荡产。这些设备的价格已经变得更容易获得)”可知，本段主要讲PLB价格不贵，B项“负担得起的安全”符合语境，概括本段。故选B。 【20题详解】 根据上文“Prices for these devices have become more accessible and considering the potential cost of an unplanned search and rescue mission, a PLB is a small price to pay for your safety.(这些设备的价格已经变得更容易获得，考虑到意外搜索和救援任务的潜在成本，为了你的安全，PLB是一个很小的代价)”提到PLB价格不贵，D项“如果你负担不起，它们也很容易被租用”承接上文，也是关于其价格，故选D。 第三部分 语言知识运用(共三节，满分40分) 第一节 完形填空(共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 When I was 15, I thought I had it all figured out.

To most, it might seem harmless, but to me, it was a trigger. In my town, a Ping-Pong table on a lawn isn’t just for games — it’s a beer-pong table, a symbol of late-night noise and chaos. Years ago, my husband and I lived near the university, surrounded by students who turned beer pong into a lifestyle. The thumping bass and laughter kept us awake night after night. We eventually moved to a quieter neighborhood, at great expense, to escape it. So, when I saw that table, memories of those sleepless nights flooded back. Anger bubbled up inside me, hot and uncontrollable. I marched over, past the table, and knocked on the student’s door. I demanded he remove it, expecting him to apologize. Instead, he met my rage with defiance. “Who are you to tell me what to do?” he shot back. His words only fueled my fury. I yelled things I didn’t mean, my voice sharp with profanity (脏话). My husband, sensing trouble, pulled me away before things escalated further. The rest of the day, I seethed (强忍怒火). But by morning, shame replaced anger. I shuddered as I replayed the confrontation in my mind. Why couldn’t I keep my cool? Why did I let something so trivial ignite me? I’ve always struggled with anger — it runs in my family — but I’ve worked hard to change. Therapy, meditation, journaling—I’ve tried them all. Yet, there I was, yelling at a stranger over a Ping-Pong table. I knew I had to make it right. I turned to what I do best: baking. I pulled out a batch of frozen peanut butter chocolate chunk cookie dough I’d made weeks earlier. The dough balls were my secret weapon, ready to transform into warm, comforting cookies at a moment’s notice. As the cookies baked, the house filled with their sweet, buttery aroma. I let them cool, then arranged them on a plate, my hands trembling. 注意：(1)续写词数应为150词左右； (2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 I walked across the street, past the offending table, and knocked on the student’s door. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ As I walked home, I felt lighter, as if a weight had been lifted. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 I walked across the street, past the offending table, and knocked on the student’s door. When he opened the door, surprise flickered across his face. I forced a smile and held out the plate of cookies. “I’m really sorry about yesterday,” I said, my voice trembling slightly. “I overreacted, and I shouldn’t have yelled at you like that. These cookies are a peace offering.” He stared at me for a moment, then his expression softened. “I guess I could have been nicer too,” he replied. He took a cookie and took a bite. “These are great,” he said, a small smile tugging at his lips. As I walked home, I felt lighter, as if a weight had been lifted. I was proud of myself for facing my anger and making amends. I realized that holding onto anger only hurts myself in the end. This experience was a reminder that I still have work to do on managing my emotions, but I’m making progress. I looked back at the house across the street and smiled. The Ping-Pong table no longer seemed like a threat. Instead, it was a symbol of a fresh start and the power of forgiveness. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者曾因附近大学生玩啤酒乒乓噪音不断而饱受失眠之苦。如今看到对面大学生在草坪放乒乓球桌，往昔痛苦回忆被触发，作者愤怒要求其搬走，大学生反抗致双方激烈争吵。事后作者羞愧，以自制饼干向大学生道歉，大学生接受，双方友好交流并承诺降低噪音。作者回家时如释重负，认识到控制情绪的重要性，也期待与新邻居开启有趣的新篇章，乒乓球桌成新起点与宽恕的象征 。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我穿过马路，经过那张惹我生气的桌子，敲了敲那个学生的门。”可知，第一段可描写作者送饼干给学生表示歉意的经过。 ②由第二段首句内容“回家的路上，我觉得自己轻松了许多，好像卸下了一个包袱。”可知，第二段可描写作者为自己面对愤怒并做出弥补而感到骄傲以及内心感受。 2.续写线索：敲了敲那个学生的门——递饼干给学生——表达歉意——觉得自己轻松了许多——管理情绪方面还有很多工作要做——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①盯着：stared at / gazed at ②意识到：realized /was aware of ③大喊大叫：yelled / shouted 情绪类 ①惊讶：surprise /astonishment ②愤怒，恼怒：anger/ annoyance 【点睛】[高分句型1] When he opened the door, surprise flickered across his face.（运用了When引导的时间状语从句。） [高分句型2] This experience was a reminder that I still have work to do on managing my emotions, but I’m making progress.（运用了that引导的同位语从句。） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 高二下学期第一次月考英语试卷 (试卷满分150分，考试时间120分钟) 第一部分 听力(共两节，满分30分) 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 第一节(共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分) 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项，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.

Mark fell for Marilynn’s charm in 2012, the day he came to interview for the job. He was standing in the hallway, hoping he didn’t look as nervous as he felt, when a stylishly dressed woman walked right up to him. “Good morning,” she said. “I’m Marilynn. I hope everything works out for you.” She gave him such a warm smile that he couldn’t help but smile back, nerves forgotten. He got the job, and it didn’t take long for him to realize what a treasure Marilynn was. She’d arrived herself only two years before, moving from Fargo. It was a huge change. She loved teaching, seeing her students’ skills and confidence grow. Would she find something as fulfilling at the Homestead? “I could have just sat in my apartment,” she says, “but I wasn’t going to do that.” Marilynn noticed that most people kept to themselves and didn’t know much about their neighbors, so she started a monthly newcomers’ get-together. One by one they’d go around the circle and share a fun fact about themselves as an icebreaker. She went to the monthly women’s breakfast. To her disappointment, only three or four others showed up. She took over, each month lining up one of the residents to give a talk about a special interest, trips they’d taken, former careers, even more weighty topics. She personally invited women to attend. It wasn’t long before the room was packed. She gave out birthday cards, using the Homestead’s monthly newsletter to get the dates. She played the piano for church services and special occasions. Marilynn didn’t notice anything different about the Homestead, but others did. “These changes you’re making, they’re great,” the residents would tell Mark. “Keep it up.” Mark knew he wasn’t the one who deserved the credit. Marilynn wasn’t trying to become a noticeable figure. She cared deeply about the people around her, doing so naturally and without intending to seek recognition. 4. How did Mark feel after meeting Marilynn in the hallway? A. Amused. B. Worried. C. Astonished. D. Relieved. 5. What does the underlined word “fulfilling” mean in Paragraph 3? A Spiritually satisfying. B. Truly comforting. C. Extremely interesting. D. Incredibly challenging. 6. Why did Marilynn take over organizing the women’s breakfast? A. To improve its quality. B. To promote healthy eating. C. To make it more engaging. D. To show her personal power. 7. What can be inferred about Marilynn’s contributions to the community? A. They go unrecognised by Mark. B. They come from her caring nature. C. They are used to gain her influence. D. They are far from Mark’s expectation. C My husband, Haywood, reached retirement age after 37 years of teaching this summer. I am excited to have more time with the person I like best in the world. The only downside was his stuff. What does he do with all the books? Haywood brought home, all the books, to a house already piled up with the books passed down from our parents after they passed away. Every bookshelf in the house — and there are a lot of bookshelves in this house — was already stuffed beyond moving. People have been arguing that print is dead, or about to be dead. It is not dead in this house. We write in books. We fold pages and underline passages and draw little stars at the edges of the pages. Before the objections begin, let me say that I am 100 percent in favor of every kind of reading there is: e-books, audio books, Braille books, graphic books, you name it. Nevertheless. I will always prefer a book I can hold in my hand, the kind that smells of paper and glue. The material feel of it pleases me. For me, a book made of paper will always be a beautiful object that warms a room even as it expands (or entertains, or challenges, or informs, or comforts) a mind, and a bookcase will always represent time itself. I walk past one of our bookcases, and I can tell you exactly why a particular book is still there, never removed as space grew limited. When I reread a book from my own shelves, I meet my own younger self. I am what I have read far more surely than I am what I have eaten. By looking at our bookshelves, I can tell you who my husband was, too. Our books ensure that I am still surrounded by all the selves I have ever been, and all the selves my husband has been. I prefer the messy shelves, the folded pages, the notes written in a familiar hand. 8. What can be inferred about the Haywood family? A. They push reading broadly. B. They show off their books, C. They should limit their books. D. They have a reading tradition. 9. What is the author’s attitude towards e-books? A. Supportive. B. Grateful. C. Passionate. D. Curious. 10. Why can paper books warm a room according to the author? A. They calm people’s mind. B. They hold emotional memories. C. They decorate the room well. D. They improve the family relation. 11. What is the best title for the text? A. My Books, My Moods B. My Bookshelf, Myself C. My Tie to My Husband D. My Preference to Print Books D When Sherlock Holmes asked Dr. Watson to consider the previous night’s “curious incident” involving a dog, Watson replied that nothing had happened. “That was the curious incident,” observed Holmes. This clue enabled Holmes to conclude that the murderer must have been someone familiar to the victim’s dog because the dog did not bark when the murderer appeared. Most people would miss this important clue because, like Watson, they pay little attention to non-occurrences. In everyday life, consumers often make decisions based on brief descriptions of products in advertisements and other one-sided promotional materials. Why are people willing to make decisions based on limited information? People are accustomed to using whatever evidence is readily available to them — however insufficient — at the expense of other information that persuaders fail to mention. Omission neglect (insensitivity to unmentioned options, features, issues, or possibilities) is particularly problematic given the nature of the world. Information describing alternatives — such as job applicants, consumer products, medical procedures, and decision outcomes — varies dramatically across situations. Some alternatives are discussed at considerable length, while others are described only briefly. To some extent, nearly everything is described in terms of limited or incomplete evidence. Research on omission neglect has shown that people often fail to detect the absence of important missing information, and this leads people to form strong beliefs on the basis of weak evidence. Strong beliefs are beliefs that are overly extreme and held with a high degree of confidence. In general, people should form more extreme beliefs when more rather than less information is available. However, when people are insensitive to omissions, people form extreme beliefs regardless of how little is known about a topic, according to Sanbonmatsu’s conclusion. The results of research published by Sanbonmatsu suggest that omission neglect occurs because missing information is not very noticeable. To the extent that this is true, omission neglect should be reduced when the importance of missing information is enhanced. More moderate judgments are made when people are sensitive to omissions due to a clear warning that the given information is incomplete, due to very high levels of prior knowledge about the target object or issue, or due to comparison processes that make it painfully obvious that some objects are described by a large amount of information whereas others are described by a small amount. 12. What led Sherlock Holmes to his conclusion? A. Watson’s peculiar reply. B. His observation of the victim. C. The absence of the dog’s barking. D. The time of the murderer’s appearance. 13. What do people tend to do when making decisions? A. Analyse the persuaders. B. Gather more information. C. Assess the influence of the decisions. D. Fail to notice what is unmentioned. 14. What is Sanbonmatsu’s conclusion? A. More information builds confidence. B. Weak evidence can lead to strong beliefs. C. Most people like to challenge themselves. D. It is hard to know everything about a topic. 15 What does the last paragraph intend to do? A. Debate about the truth of information. B. Warn people against incomplete information. C. Increase the awareness of missing information. D. Improve people’s ability to compare information. 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。 Picture this: you’re tramping through the rugged wilderness, surrounded by towering trees and breathtaking views.

To most, it might seem harmless, but to me, it was a trigger. In my town, a Ping-Pong table on a lawn isn’t just for games — it’s a beer-pong table, a symbol of late-night noise and chaos. Years ago, my husband and I lived near the university, surrounded by students who turned beer pong into a lifestyle. The thumping bass and laughter kept us awake night after night. We eventually moved to a quieter neighborhood, at great expense, to escape it. So, when I saw that table, memories of those sleepless nights flooded back. Anger bubbled up inside me, hot and uncontrollable. I marched over, past the table, and knocked on the student’s door. I demanded he remove it, expecting him to apologize. Instead, he met my rage with defiance. “Who are you to tell me what to do?” he shot back. His words only fueled my fury. I yelled things I didn’t mean, my voice sharp with profanity (脏话). My husband, sensing trouble, pulled me away before things escalated further. The rest of the day, I seethed (强忍怒火). But by morning, shame replaced anger. I shuddered as I replayed the confrontation in my mind. Why couldn’t I keep my cool? Why did I let something so trivial ignite me? I’ve always struggled with anger — it runs in my family — but I’ve worked hard to change. Therapy, meditation, journaling—I’ve tried them all. Yet, there I was, yelling at a stranger over a Ping-Pong table. I knew I had to make it right. I turned to what I do best: baking. I pulled out a batch of frozen peanut butter chocolate chunk cookie dough I’d made weeks earlier. The dough balls were my secret weapon, ready to transform into warm, comforting cookies at a moment’s notice. As the cookies baked, the house filled with their sweet, buttery aroma. I let them cool, then arranged them on a plate, my hands trembling. 注意：(1)续写词数应为150词左右； (2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 I walked across the street, past the offending table, and knocked on the student’s door. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ As I walked home, I felt lighter, as if a weight had been lifted. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
