C 【解析】 原文】W: It’s quite incredible how a simple hobby can turn into a fulfilling and successful career. I want to share my journey with you, starting from my love for photography. I used to take pictures of landscapes and people during my free time. It was my way of capturing life’s beautiful moments and expressing my creativity. Little did I expect that this passion would lead to a career. Over time, I improved my skills by experimenting with various techniques and attending photography workshops. Friends and family began to notice my talent and asked me to photograph their events. This was the turning point. I started doing small jobs like capturing weddings, parties, and special moments. Word of mouth quickly spread, and soon, I was in demand as a photographer. As my client base expanded, so did my confidence and ambition. I realized I could turn my hobby into a full-time career. However, this journey had its challenges. The pressure of delivering perfect photos, the irregular income, and the competition in the photography world tested my patience. Now, I’ve established my own photography business, specializing in portrait (肖像) photography. I’ve traveled to beautiful places, met wonderful people, and captured countless unforgettable moments. My future plans include exploring new types of photography, teaching ambitious photographers, and continuing to find new ways to tell domestic stories through my camera. 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 Bread Runner Project Details What we need ·You have to sign up on breadline. hk to join our Bread Run. ·We need volunteers who are independent and reliable. ·Our app provides real-time bread information to support volunteers. ·Volunteers bring at least 2 big shopping bags to carry the bread. ·Beginners or regular volunteers are all welcome.

It was amazing and opened my eyes to UK climbing. I didn’t realize how challenging cycle touring would be with so much equipment. But it’s a great way to appreciate the landscape, and completing a long ride is as satisfying as getting to the top of a route. “Taylor explored a huge amount of the country in the process. She then completed another self-powered round, climbing the 100 routes detailed in the guide Mountain Rock. “It is really a physical challenge,” Taylor says. Having come to the attention of one of the UK’s top adventurers, Leo Houlding.

D 【解析】 【导语】本文是记叙文。介绍一位女性攀岩者Anna Taylor。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“From sleeping in a spider-covered tent a mile up an Amazonian cliff face to completing one of the classic outdoor “lifetime” challenges in the space of a few months, Anna Taylor is making a name for herself in the adventure community.(从睡在亚马逊悬崖上方一英里处布满蜘蛛的帐篷里，到在几个月的时间里完成一项经典的户外“终身”挑战，Anna Taylor在冒险界声名鹊起)”可知，Taylor因完成具有挑战性的户外任务，在冒险界声名鹊起。故选C项。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段““It can be underestimated compared to exotic places, but if you get creative, it’s as good as anywhere.” she says.(“与异国情调的地方相比，它可能被低估了，但如果你有创意，它和其他地方一样好。”她说)”可知，Taylor认为英国在攀岩方面被低估了。故选A项。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“I didn’t realize how challenging cycle touring would be with so much equipment.(我没有意识到带着这么多装备进行自行车旅行是多么具有挑战性)”可知，在进行《经典岩石》挑战期间的骑行时，Taylor需要携带大量装备。故选B项。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“From sleeping in a spider-covered tent a mile up an Amazonian cliff face to completing one of the classic outdoor “lifetime” challenges in the space of a few months, Anna Taylor is making a name for herself in the adventure community.(从睡在亚马逊悬崖上方一英里处布满蜘蛛的帐篷里，到在几个月的时间里完成一项经典的户外“终身”挑战，Anna Taylor在冒险界声名鹊起)”及纵观全文可知，Taylor完成多项具有挑战性的攀岩任务，如攀登《经典岩石》和《山岩》中记载的路线，还前往圭亚那亚马孙攀登罗赖马山，面对蜘蛛等危险也不退缩，这体现了她具有冒险精神；她能够坚持完成这些艰难的任务，说明她对攀岩充满热爱。故选D项。 C Your mouse pauses over the “purchase now” button or you’ve written the text but can’t quite bring yourself to press “send”. You hesitate. Our culture values execution. We are big on “going for it”. This might be an unpopular opinion, but I think there’s a lot of wisdom in listening to our hesitation. Our minds are powerful and important, but so are our bodies. We don’t always make it a practice to listen to our bodies. When we’re paying attention, we have access to a lot of nonrational information. Hesitation can be a signal that there’s something we haven’t considered yet, some hidden information we really need. When we walk up to the door but don’t quite want to open it, it might be a good idea to pause and consider what’s going on in our bodies. Is there something we haven’t been paying attention to? When you notice yourself hesitating, you’re not in an enthusiastic “yes”. An enthusiastic “yes” means every part of you — heart, mind, body, soul — is ready and willing to do the thing. Hesitation means a part of you isn’t quite sure. That doesn’t necessarily mean it’s a “no”, either. Sometimes that part is fearful, perhaps because of past experiences. If our rational minds know that it’s perfectly safe, we may simply need to reassure that part and move forward. That hesitation could also come from a part that knows, on some level, that we’re rushing, that this isn’t the best option, and that we’re not quite sure. We may need to gather more information or ensure that we have actually looked at all the other options. One way that we can assist ourselves with a specific decision is to notice when there’s hesitation and, if you have the time, wait. Sleep on it. Give it a week, even. Check back in with the decision you thought you made and see if anything feels different. Another interesting way is to walk up to the door of it. Take action as if you had already made the decision and, before it’s irreversible, of course, notice how it feels to walk that path. That may give you more information than thinking ever could. 28. What does the underlined word “execution” mean in the second paragraph? A. Thinking. B. Doing. C. Creating. D. Delaying. 29. What brings about hesitation according to the passage? A. Inner fear. B. Indifference. C. The best option. D. Complete rejection. 30. What can help us with a wise decision when facing hesitation? A. Asking for others’ help. B. Stickıng to our decision. C. Sleeping until it disappears. D. Postponing taking actions. 31. What can be a suitable title for the passage? A. Tips on Action Plans. B. Wisdom of Hesitation. C. Ways to Avoid Hesitation. D. Guidance on Purchase. 【答案】28. B 29. A 30. D 31. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要论述了在我们的文化中人们普遍重视行动，但作者认为倾听我们内心的犹豫也蕴含着许多智慧，详细阐述了犹豫产生的原因，并介绍了面对犹豫时做出明智决定的方法。 【28题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第二段 “We are big on “going for it”.(我们热衷于 “放手去做”)”，可知，我们的文化重视执行。由此可推测 “execution” 意思与 “做” 相近。故选 B。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段 “Hesitation means a part of you isn’t quite sure. That doesn’t necessarily mean it’s a “no”, either. Sometimes that part is fearful, perhaps because of past experiences..(犹豫意味着你的一部分不是很确定。这并不一定意味着它是一个“不”。有时候，那部分是出于恐惧，也许是因为过去的经历)”可知，犹豫可能来自内心的恐惧。故选 A。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“One way that we can assist ourselves with a specific decision is to notice when there’s hesitation and, if you have the time, wait. Sleep on it. Give it a week, even. Check back in with the decision you thought you made and see if anything feels different.(有一种方法可以帮助我们做出特定的决定，那就是当我们注意到自己犹豫时，如果有时间的话，就等待。先放一放这个决定。甚至可以等上一周。回过头来看看你认为自己已经做出的决定，看看是否有什么感觉不同)”可知，当我们面对犹豫时，推迟采取行动，即等待一段时间再做决定，有助于我们做出明智的决定。故选 D。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，并结合第二段“Our culture values execution. We are big on “going for it”. This might be an unpopular opinion, but I think there’s a lot of wisdom in listening to our hesitation.(我们的文化重视执行力。我们热衷于“放手去做”。这可能是一个不受欢迎的观点，但我认为倾听我们的犹豫是很有智慧的)”文章主要论述了在我们的文化中人们普遍重视行动，但作者认为倾听我们内心的犹豫也蕴含着许多智慧，详细阐述了犹豫产生的原因，并介绍了面对犹豫时做出明智决定的方法。整体围绕 “犹豫的智慧” 展开论述。所以短文的标题为“犹豫的智慧”。故选B。 D Passing quietly away from sudden heartbreak is a theme that pops up in myth and fantasy. In the Star Wars universe, Padmé Amidala may have died of a broken heart after her husband turned to the dark side. Shakespeare’s King Lear gives in to heartbreak after hearing of the death of his precious Cordelia. Drama aside, it’s possible these characters fell to Takotsubo Syndrome (章鱼壶综合征) — a short, intense dysfunction in the heart’s left ventricle (心室). It can occur after extreme emotional or physical stress, making “heartbreak” both real and potentially deadly. While dying of heartbreak has been a popular theme in fiction for a long time, clinicians only began documenting real cases in the 1960s. As imaging technology improved, doctors could directly study the hearts of affected patients. In many, the left ventricle — the part that pumps oxygenated blood to the body — balloons out. The outline reminded Japanese clinicians of a takotsubo, a round jar for catching octopuses. In 1990, cardiologist Hikaru Sato and his colleagues, at Hiroshima City Hospital proposed the term Takotsubo to describe the condition. What sparks it is still something of a mystery. One hypothesis is that an acute painful event causes a surge of stress hormones. As the left ventricle is especially rich in receptors for these chemicals, a sudden flood could cause the tense muscle to become loose and swollen, making it incapable of delivering enough blood to the body. Another hypothesis is that a stress response “stuns” the heart temporarily, With the majority of cases observed in aging women, it’s also possible that declining estrogen (雌激素) plays a role. Though severe, Takotsubo is remarkably short-lived and typically not deadly. About 4 percent of sufferers die, while about 75 percent fully recover after 10 days. “It’s absolutely incredible,” said Trisha Singh, a cardiologist at University Hospitals Dorset in England. “I remember seeing a lady with her left ventricular function severely damaged, but when I came back and rescanned her six hours later, it had gone from severely damaged to almost mildly impaired to almost normal.” Standard care is to treat the patient for heart failure, “But now, more recently, especially with seeing some people recover so rapidly, it raises a question;” Singh says. “Should we even be bothering with trying to put people on these medications? Are they even going to do any good?” It’s possible that with basic medical support for the patient, the heart may unbreak itself. 32. What can we learn about Takotsubo Syndrome? A. It has effects mostly on young men. B. It is a permanent, incurable heart condition. C. It is an extreme reaction to sudden pressure. D. It is a fictional scene only in movies and plays. 33. What contributes to the naming of the Syndrome? A. That the jar is used to treat the Syndrome. B. That octopuses are known to cause the Syndrome. C. That the shape of the attacked heart resembles the jar. D. That the Syndrome was first discovered by Japanese fishermen. 34. What is unrelated to the possible cause of the Syndrome? A. The burst of blood. B. The reduced estrogen. C. The increasing hormone. D. The non-functional muscle. 35. What is Dr. Singh’s attitude towards the recovery through medications? A. Casual. B. Pessimistic. C. Favorable. D. Skeptical. 【答案】32. C 33. C 34. A 35. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了“章鱼壶综合征（Takotsubo Syndrome）”的医学背景、症状、可能的成因及其治疗情况，探讨了情感压力对心脏健康的影响。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“It can occur after extreme emotional or physical stress, making “heartbreak” both real and potentially deadly.(它可能发生在极端的情绪或身体压力之后，使“心碎”既真实又可能致命)”可知，章鱼壶综合征是一种对突然压力的极端反应。故选C。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“In many, the left ventricle — the part that pumps oxygenated blood to the body — balloons out. The outline reminded Japanese clinicians of a takotsubo, a round jar for catching octopuses.(在许多情况下，左心室——向身体泵送含氧血液的部位——会膨胀。这个外形让日本的临床医生想起了takotsubo，一种用来捕捉章鱼的圆形罐子)”可知，患病心脏的形状和捕捉章鱼的罐子很像导致了这种综合症的命名。故选C。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“What sparks it is still something of a mystery. One hypothesis is that an acute painful event causes a surge of stress hormones. As the left ventricle is especially rich in receptors for these chemicals, a sudden flood could cause the tense muscle to become loose and swollen, making it incapable of delivering enough blood to the body. Another hypothesis is that a stress response “stuns” the heart temporarily, With the majority of cases observed in aging women, it’s also possible that declining estrogen (雌激素) plays a role.(是什么引起了它，这仍然是个谜。一种假设是，急性疼痛事件会导致应激激素激增。由于左心室特别富含这些化学物质的受体，应激激素的突然增加可能会导致紧张的肌肉变得松弛和肿胀，使其无法向身体输送足够的血液。另一种假设是，压力反应暂时“麻痹”了心脏。在大多数老年女性中观察到的病例中，雌激素下降也可能起作用)”可知，文中从未提到“血液的爆发”与该综合征的病因有关，故选A。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Should we even be bothering with trying to put people on these medications? Are they even going to do any good?(我们是否应该费心尝试让人们服用这些药物？他们会有什么好处吗？)”可知，她对药物治疗的必要性持怀疑态度，故选D。 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。 As a single adult with a big extended family, I consider myself a true expert on the “kids table”. While one might think that only kids will be assigned to the “kids table”, some hosts held the opposite view: ____36____. So single grown-ups, college students and high-schoolers are all fair game for “kids table” placement. The very nebulous (模糊的) rules around kids tables at holiday events made me wonder whether these separate areas are really the best way to integrate pint-sized guests into a festive party, so 1 decided to ask a group of experts about whether they recommend these arrangements for kids of all ages. ____37____ “Having a kids table at a family holiday event can be a fantastic opportunity for kids to connect and build their own relationships and even gain a sense of independence.” said Claire Weinberg, child therapist in Bethesda, Maryland. The advice from Amy Abbott, the founder, owner and creative director of Amy Abbott Events also proves it: For larger events, dividing kids tables by age is a great idea. For example, if the host’s children are involved, each can have their own table with friends and family of a similar age. ____38____. On the other hand, seating kids among the adults together can help kids learn social skills. “Separating children from adults is not what I would consider a best practice.____39____.including eating behaviors, social emotional skills, language, and even fine motor skills,” explained Joy Kennedy, developmental psychologist and researcher at the Education Development Center.

The speed, the biting cold, and the feel of the wind on my face all fascinated me deeply. So my dad signed me up in a skating center. From then on, I woke up at 5:30 every morning, rain or shine, and practiced skating with coach Caleb. Today was the day I was going to compete in a freestyle skating program for the first time in three years. Today was the day I was not skating to my coach or dad, but to the judges. I skated to the center ice: “You’ve got this, Jessie;” Daddy yelled from the audience. My friends held up crossed fingers and blew me kisses. I can do this! I thought as the music was on. What I felt was the power of certainty with my sparkly competition dress. I started my program with a step forward and a smile, followed by a beautiful combination spin (旋转). The butterflies in my stomach were back, working against me, making me feel so nervous. Then came the jump, a jump I had been doing since I was ten years old! It didn’t work out the way I had hoped. I fell, and I kept falling. By the time I was done, my dress was wet and I was seven seconds behind my music, so I finished skating to silence. It was the most embarrassing moment of my life. The silence continued as I skated toward the exit. Everyone in the arena (场地) was looking at me but trying not to look at me. What am I doing here? I thought. Your Olympic dream has come to an end. As I walked upstairs to join my dad. I heard the oohs and aahs of the audience. I wanted to go home, but Dad said it’s poor sportsmanship to leave before the results were posted. So, we waited. Sure enough, not only did I not win a medal, I ranked last. 注意： （1）续写词数应为150个左右： （2）请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 The next morning, I didn’t get up at 5:30 for my skating practice. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Daddy’s words convinced me this was what I truly loved. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文 The next morning, I didn’t get up at 5:30 for my skating practice. Any thought of the competition made me want to quit it. As I lay in bed, I heard a knock on the door, and it was Daddy. “I am not going anywhere,” I groaned in a low voice. “Why not?” Daddy inquired. “I will never get to the Olympics. Plus, how will I face everyone?” I cried out loud. “Maybe the Olympics isn’t the goal,” he responded gently. “Maybe you skate just because you love it.” It always pains me to admit my parents are actually smart, but he had a point. Daddy’s words convinced me this was what I truly loved. I did love it. Everything paled in comparison to skating. I got dressed, set off and arrived at the training center. Late though I was, Coach Caleb and every one of my friends shouted my name and gave me a hug the moment they saw me. Nobody mentioned my disastrous competition. “I’m glad you’re back,” said Caleb. As I stepped on the ice again, feeling my blades cutting into the ice, I breathed in the familiar smell. It was good to be back, and I knew I was in the right place. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者十岁的时候喜爱滑冰，但是参加比赛的时候作者摔倒了，因此留下了阴影，想要放弃。最后在父亲的鼓励和开导下，作者坚定了信心，回到了冰面上。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“第二天早上，我没有在五点半起床练滑冰.”可知，第一段可描写作者因为比赛失败而沮丧，父亲开导作者。 ②由第二段首句内容“爸爸的话让我确信这才是我真正喜欢的.”可知，第二段可描写作者坚定了信心，回到了冰面上。 2.续写线索：没有起床练习——想要放弃——父亲开导——作者坚定决心——再次回到冰面 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①询问：inquire/ask ②回答：respond/reply ③走上：step on/walk on 情绪类 ①糟糕：disastrous/horrible ②苦恼：pain/annoy 【点睛】[高分句型1] As I lay in bed, I heard a knock on the door, and it was Daddy.（由as引导时间状语从句） [高分句型2] Maybe you skate just because you love it.（由because引导原因状语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $这是英语课听力部分，该部分分为第一第二两节。注意回答听力部分时，请先将答案标在试卷上。听力部分结束前，你将有两分钟的时间将答案转涂到客观题答题卡上。现在是听力试音时间。Hello, international friends club. can I help you?

B From sleeping in a spider-covered tent a mile up an Amazonian cliff face to completing one of the classic outdoor “lifetime” challenges in the space of a few months, Anna Taylor is making a name for herself in the adventure community. Still just 24, the climber is also a great advocate of British expeditions. “The UK is actually really good for these things.” says Taylor, who in 2021 became the first woman to complete a self-powered round of the 83 routes that feature in the celebrated climbing book Classic Rock. “It can be underestimated compared to exotic (异国风情的) places, but if you get creative, it’s as good as anywhere.” she says. “The Classic Rock challenge is the kind of thing people try to finish during their lives, a bit like walking the Wainwrights, but I doubted the capability to make it in summer. It was amazing and opened my eyes to UK climbing. I didn’t realize how challenging cycle touring would be with so much equipment. But it’s a great way to appreciate the landscape, and completing a long ride is as satisfying as getting to the top of a route. “Taylor explored a huge amount of the country in the process. She then completed another self-powered round, climbing the 100 routes detailed in the guide Mountain Rock. “It is really a physical challenge,” Taylor says. Having come to the attention of one of the UK’s top adventurers, Leo Houlding. Taylor also went on a trip to the Guyanese Amazon to scale the giant Mount Roraima. “We were in the jungle for a month,” she recalls. “That was incredible and pretty scary sleeping there at first, especially with huge spiders walking across your tent!” Taylor thrives on the physical and mental challenges of climbing. “It’s all about keeping your head under control,” she explains. “You practice with a safety rope, and then it’s about making the commitment of doing it without one.” 24. What has made Taylor famous in the adventure community? A. Her young age as a climber. B. Her unique experience in the Amazon, C. Her completion of challenging outdoor tasks. D. Her advocacy of adventurous trips. 25. What does Taylor think of the UK for climbing? A. It is judged wrongly compared to exotic places. B. It is as good as anywhere if one is imaginary. C. It lacks the variety of routes like other places. D. It is only suitable for self-powered rounds. 26. What do we know about Taylor in the Classic Rock challenge? A. She considered getting to the top more satisfying. B. She carried loads of facilities in the challenge. C. She recommended completing the challenge in summer. D. She explored more countries during the challenge. 27. Which of the following best describes Taylor according to the passage? A. Proud and competitive. B. Reserved and cautious. C. Humorous and responsible. D. Adventurous and passionate. C Your mouse pauses over the “purchase now” button, or you’ve written the text but can’t quite bring yourself to press “send”. You hesitate. Our culture values execution. We are big on “going for it”. This might be an unpopular opinion, but I think there’s a lot of wisdom in listening to our hesitation. Our minds are powerful and important, but so are our bodies. We don’t always make it a practice to listen to our bodies. When we’re paying attention, we have access to a lot of nonrational information. Hesitation can be a signal that there’s something we haven’t considered yet, some hidden information we really need. When we walk up to the door but don’t quite want to open it, it might be a good idea to pause and consider what’s going on in our bodies. Is there something we haven’t been paying attention to? When you notice yourself hesitating, you’re not in an enthusiastic “yes”. An enthusiastic “yes” means every part of you — heart, mind, body, soul — is ready and willing to do the thing. Hesitation means a part of you isn’t quite sure. That doesn’t necessarily mean it’s a “no”, either. Sometimes that part is fearful, perhaps because of past experiences. If our rational minds know that it’s perfectly safe, we may simply need to reassure that part and move forward. That hesitation could also come from a part that knows, on some level, that we’re rushing, that this isn’t the best option, and that we’re not quite sure. We may need to gather more information or ensure that we have actually looked at all the other options. One way that we can assist ourselves with a specific decision is to notice when there’s hesitation and, if you have the time, wait. Sleep on it. Give it a week, even. Check back in with the decision you thought you made and see if anything feels different. Another interesting way is to walk up to the door of it. Take action as if you had already made the decision and, before it’s irreversible, of course, notice how it feels to walk that path. That may give you more information than thinking ever could. 28. What does the underlined word “execution” mean in the second paragraph? A. Thinking. B. Doing. C. Creating. D. Delaying. 29. What brings about hesitation according to the passage? A. Inner fear. B. Indifference. C. The best option. D. Complete rejection. 30. What can help us with a wise decision when facing hesitation? A. Asking for others’ help. B. Stickıng to our decision. C. Sleeping until it disappears. D. Postponing taking actions. 31. What can be a suitable title for the passage? A. Tips on Action Plans. B. Wisdom of Hesitation. C. Ways to Avoid Hesitation. D. Guidance on Purchase. D Passing quietly away from sudden heartbreak is a theme that pops up in myth and fantasy. In the Star Wars universe, Padmé Amidala may have died of a broken heart after her husband turned to the dark side. Shakespeare’s King Lear gives in to heartbreak after hearing of the death of his precious Cordelia. Drama aside, it’s possible these characters fell to Takotsubo Syndrome (章鱼壶综合征) — a short, intense dysfunction in the heart’s left ventricle (心室). It can occur after extreme emotional or physical stress, making “heartbreak” both real and potentially deadly. While dying of heartbreak has been a popular theme in fiction for a long time, clinicians only began documenting real cases in the 1960s. As imaging technology improved, doctors could directly study the hearts of affected patients. In many, the left ventricle — the part that pumps oxygenated blood to the body — balloons out. The outline reminded Japanese clinicians of a takotsubo, a round jar for catching octopuses. In 1990, cardiologist Hikaru Sato and his colleagues, at Hiroshima City Hospital proposed the term Takotsubo to describe the condition. What sparks it is still something of a mystery. One hypothesis is that an acute painful event causes a surge of stress hormones. As the left ventricle is especially rich in receptors for these chemicals, a sudden flood could cause the tense muscle to become loose and swollen, making it incapable of delivering enough blood to the body. Another hypothesis is that a stress response “stuns” the heart temporarily, With the majority of cases observed in aging women, it’s also possible that declining estrogen (雌激素) plays a role. Though severe, Takotsubo is remarkably short-lived and typically not deadly. About 4 percent of sufferers die, while about 75 percent fully recover after 10 days. “It’s absolutely incredible,” said Trisha Singh, a cardiologist at University Hospitals Dorset in England. “I remember seeing a lady with her left ventricular function severely damaged, but when I came back and rescanned her six hours later, it had gone from severely damaged to almost mildly impaired to almost normal.” Standard care is to treat the patient for heart failure, “But now, more recently, especially with seeing some people recover so rapidly, it raises a question;” Singh says. “Should we even be bothering with trying to put people on these medications? Are they even going to do any good?” It’s possible that with basic medical support for the patient, the heart may unbreak itself. 32. What can we learn about Takotsubo Syndrome? A. It has effects mostly on young men. B. It is a permanent, incurable heart condition. C. It is an extreme reaction to sudden pressure. D. It is a fictional scene only in movies and plays. 33. What contributes to the naming of the Syndrome? A. That the jar is used to treat the Syndrome. B. That octopuses are known to cause the Syndrome. C. That the shape of the attacked heart resembles the jar. D That the Syndrome was first discovered by Japanese fishermen. 34. What is unrelated to the possible cause of the Syndrome? A The burst of blood. B. The reduced estrogen. C The increasing hormone. D. The non-functional muscle. 35. What is Dr. Singh’s attitude towards the recovery through medications? A. Casual. B. Pessimistic. C. Favorable. D. Skeptical. 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。 As a single adult with a big extended family, I consider myself a true expert on the “kids table”. While one might think that only kids will be assigned to the “kids table”, some hosts held the opposite view: ____36____. So single grown-ups, college students and high-schoolers are all fair game for “kids table” placement. The very nebulous (模糊的) rules around kids tables at holiday events made me wonder whether these separate areas are really the best way to integrate pint-sized guests into a festive party, so 1 decided to ask a group of experts about whether they recommend these arrangements for kids of all ages. ____37____ “Having a kids table at a family holiday event can be a fantastic opportunity for kids to connect and build their own relationships and even gain a sense of independence.” said Claire Weinberg, child therapist in Bethesda, Maryland. The advice from Amy Abbott, the founder, owner and creative director of Amy Abbott Events also proves it: For larger events, dividing kids tables by age is a great idea. For example, if the host’s children are involved, each can have their own table with friends and family of a similar age. ____38____. On the other hand, seating kids among the adults together can help kids learn social skills. “Separating children from adults is not what I would consider a best practice.____39____.including eating behaviors, social emotional skills, language, and even fine motor skills,” explained Joy Kennedy, developmental psychologist and researcher at the Education Development Center. That’s why many of our surveyed experts recommended mixing age groups together. “For some kids, large gatherings can feel overwhelming. ____40____, if that’s the case. It can be helpful to talk to your child before the event about what they might experience and to discuss anything they may need to feel comfortable and safe.” A. Adults act as models for a host of things B. It can also give parents a break from the chaos C. Preparing them in advance can make a big difference D. It is a catch-all for any guest who isn’t a partnered adult E. For younger children, sitting with adults can be stressful F. Special menus will be even tailored to the different age groups G. Kids tables can be a fun way to give younger guests independence 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（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四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Being close to nature was like food for my soul.

The speed, the biting cold, and the feel of the wind on my face all fascinated me deeply. So my dad signed me up in a skating center. From then on, I woke up at 5:30 every morning, rain or shine, and practiced skating with coach Caleb. Today was the day I was going to compete in a freestyle skating program for the first time in three years. Today was the day I was not skating to my coach or dad, but to the judges. I skated to the center ice: “You’ve got this, Jessie;” Daddy yelled from the audience. My friends held up crossed fingers and blew me kisses. I can do this! I thought as the music was on. What I felt was the power of certainty with my sparkly competition dress. I started my program with a step forward and a smile, followed by a beautiful combination spin (旋转). The butterflies in my stomach were back, working against me, making me feel so nervous. Then came the jump, a jump I had been doing since I was ten years old! It didn’t work out the way I had hoped. I fell, and I kept falling. By the time I was done, my dress was wet and I was seven seconds behind my music, so I finished skating to silence. It was the most embarrassing moment of my life. The silence continued as I skated toward the exit. Everyone in the arena (场地) was looking at me but trying not to look at me. What am I doing here? I thought. Your Olympic dream has come to an end. As I walked upstairs to join my dad. I heard the oohs and aahs of the audience. I wanted to go home, but Dad said it’s poor sportsmanship to leave before the results were posted. So, we waited. Sure enough, not only did I not win a medal, I ranked last. 注意： （1）续写词数应为150个左右： （2）请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 The next morning, I didn’t get up at 5:30 for my skating practice. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Daddy’s words convinced me this was what I truly loved. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
