高二年级2025年春期期中考前模拟英语答案 听力1-5.CCBCB6-10.BCAAC 11-15.BAACC 16-20.BCBCB 答案21-23DCA24-27CBDB28-31BCDA32-35ABCD 36-40DGFAC 41-45 DCDDA 46-50BCBCA 51-55 BABCD 【答案】 56.remarkable 57.the 58.innovation 59.to pursue 60.where 61.However 62.Under 63.focuses 64.Believing 65.truly 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了编织活动对人们心理健康的积极影响，包括其早期 的应用、能让人进入“心流”状态以及有助于人们更好地处理思绪和挑战。 【28题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“The cliche(陈词滥调)of a knitter is a white-haired lady.But in the 1940s, young male Royal Air Force pilots used needles as they waited for their next mission.Wartime pilots crashed a lot and'lap crafts'like knitting,helped rebuild flexibility in wounded limbs while also helping to settle wounded minds..They were the foundation of early occupational therapy(治疗).（对编织者的刻 板印象是一位白发苍苍的女士。但在20世纪40年代，年轻的皇家空军飞行员在等待下一次任务 时会使用针线。战时飞行员经常坠机，像编织这样的‘膝上手工’有助于恢复受伤肢体的灵活性， 同时也有助于安抚受伤的心灵。它们是早期职业治疗的基础)”可知，本段开头即打破人们对编织 者的刻板印象，通过二战时期空军飞行员编织的事例，引出编织的用途，故选B。 【29题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“In reality,it isa‘Flow',which is a concept first named by psychologist Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi as he wrote in his book,'The best moments in our lives are not the passive, receptive,relaxing times.The best moments usually occur if a person's body or mind is stretched to its limits in a voluntary effort to accomplish something difficult and worthwhile.'(实际上，它是一种‘心 流’，这是心理学家米哈里·契克森米哈赖在他的书中首次命名的概念，他在书中写道：‘我们 生命中最美好的时刻不是被动、接受和放松的时刻。最美好的时刻通常出现在一个人自愿努力去 完成一些困难且有价值的事情，从而使身心达到极限的时候。’)”可知，当一个人自愿努力去完 成一些困难且有价值的事情时会体验到“心流”。由此推知，所以当一个人全身心投入于解决一 个技术问题时，会体验到“心流”。故选C项。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“Even a simple knitting or erochet pattern requires attentiveness to ensure that each stitch is made correctly.(即使是一个简单的编织或钩织图案，也需要集中注意力，以 确保每一针都织得正确)”和最后一段“The Cardiff research team found that even though most of the people surveyed were employed,three-quarters of those who knitted three or more times a week felt significantly more able to organise their thoughts and forget their problems.(卡迪夫研究小组发现，尽管 接受调查的大多数人都有工作，但那些每周编织三次或更多次的人中有四分之三觉得自己在组织 思维和忘记问题方面的能力明显更强)”可知，经常编织的人在组织思维和忘记问题方面的能力明 显更强，所以他们更擅长处理思维和应对挑战。故选D项。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，重点结合文章第三段“Physiotherapist Betsan Corkhill and occupational therapist Jill Riley were part of a team from Cardiff University that,ten years ago,surveyed more than 3,500 knitters and found that the more frequently people knitted,the calmer and happier they felt.( 治疗师贝特森·科克希尔和职业治疗师吉尔·莱利是卡迪夫大学一个团队的成员。十年前，该团 队对3500多名编织者进行了调查，发现人们编织的频率越高，感觉就越平静和快乐。)”可知， 文章主要介绍了编织活动对人们心理健康的积极影响，包括让人心情平静、进入“心流”状态。 故A选项“Active Hands,Calm Minds(灵巧的双手，平静的心灵)”准确概括了文章主旨，是最佳 ■■ Q夸克扫描王 极速扫描，就是高效可 标题。故选A项。 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了“过滤气泡”现象，不仅在互联网上存在，人的大脑也 有类似的机制来过滤信息，形成个人的过滤气泡。这些过滤气泡通过不同的认知过程形成，并影 响人们对世界的看法和经历。它们可能导致人们陷入自我限制的思维和行为模式，难以看到不同 的可能性，并可能导致对世界的片面和偏见看法。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Self-created filter bubbles happen through various cognitive processes,. and they have multiple consequences.They shape your experience of what's happening by forming a lens(镜片)through which you see and interpret the world.(自我创造的过滤气泡通过各种认知过程发 生，它们有多种后果。它们塑造了你对正在发生的事情的体验，形成了你观察和解读世界的透镜)” 可知，过滤气泡通过形成观察和解读世界的透镜，塑造了我们对正在发生的事情的体验，也塑造 了我们对世界的理解。故选A。 【33题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Filter bubbles can cause you to stay stuck in self-created and often self-limiting patterns of thought and behavior.If you've ever wondered why change is so hard,it's because your mental filter bubbles make it difficult to see different possibilities.If you hold the belief that you're not someone who can have a high-paying job,you won't iook for one and you'll only seek out and see jobs that match up with what you think you're worth.(过滤气泡会让你陷入自我创造的思 维和行为模式，往往是自我限制的模式。如果你曾经想知道为什么改变这么难，那是因为你的心 理过滤泡泡让你很难看到不同的可能性。如果你认为自己不能获得高薪工作，你就不会去找，你 只会寻找和看到与你认为自己价值相符的工作)”可知，过滤气泡会使个人抗拒寻找新的机会和拥 抱变化。故选B。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“While you can't prevent your brain from creating selective filter bubbles, you can become more aware so that you don't have to be limited or trapped by them.(虽然你不能阻止 你的大脑产生选择性的过滤气泡，但你可以变得更加有意识，这样你就不必被它们限制或困住)” 可知，作者提出虽然我们不能阻止过滤气泡的产生，但我们可以有意识也克服它，避免被过滤气 泡限制或困住。由此推知，作者很可能在下文中谈到避免被困在过滤气泡中的方法。故选C。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Over time,this creates a filter bubble where you only see content that agrees with your interests and beliefs,which serves to convince you that your beliefs are true.But what you might not know is that in similar fashion,your brain has several mechanisms to filter information, creating personal filter bubbles that deeply shape how you live your life.(随着时间的推移，这会产生 个过滤气泡，你只会看到与你的兴趣和信仰一致的内容，这让你相信你的信仰是正确的。但你可 能不知道的是，以类似的方式，你的大脑有几种过滤信息的机制，产生个人过滤气泡，深刻地塑 造你的生活方式)”以及文章介绍了“过滤气泡”现象，不仅在互联网上存在，人的大脑也有类似 的机制来过滤信息，形成个人的过滤气泡。这些过滤气泡通过不同的认知过程形成，并影响人们 对世界的看法和经历。它们可能导致人们陷入自我限制的思维和行为模式，难以看到不同的可能 性，并可能导致对世界的片面和偏见看法。由此可知，这篇文章主要讲了过滤气泡对塑造我们感 知的影响。故选D。 【解析】【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讨论了节日聚会上“儿童桌”设置的利弊。 【36题详解】由上文“While one might think that only kids will be assigned to the"kids table”,some hosts held the opposite view:(虽然有人可能认为只有孩子会被安排到“儿童桌”，但一些主人持有 相反的观点：)”可知，本空应解释这个相反观点是什么。D选项“It is a catch-all for any guest who isn't a partnered adult(它是给所有非伴侣的成年客人的一个集合地)”说明了“儿童桌”不仅仅是 绐孩子的，还包括单身成年人等，能承接上文，符合题意。故选D。 【37题详解】由下文“Having a kids table at a family holiday event can be a fantastic opportunity for 2 Q夸克扫描王 极速扫描，就是高效 kids to connect and build their own relationships and even gain a sense of independence.(在家庭节日话 动中设置儿童桌对孩子来说是一个很好的机会，可以让他们建立联系、发展自己的关系，甚至获 得独立感。)”可知，本空应概括儿童桌的积极作用，G选项“Kids tables can be a fun way to give younger guests independence(儿童桌可以成为给年轻客人独立性的有趣方式)”强调了儿童桌的积 极作用，能引起下文，符合题意。故选G。 【38题详解】由上文“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. 于大型活动，按年龄划分儿童桌是个好主意。例如，如果主人的孩子参与其中，每个孩子都可以 和年龄相仿的朋友和家人坐在一桌。)”可知，本空应进一步说明按年龄划分儿童桌的好处，F选 项“Special menus will be even tailored to the different age groups(甚至会根据不同的年龄组定制特 别的菜单)”说明了按年龄划分儿童桌可以带来的另一个好处，即定制特别的菜单，能承接上文， 符合题意。故选F。 【39题详解】由上文“Separating children from adults is not what I would consider a best practice.(把 孩子和大人分开不是我所认为的最佳做法。)”可知，本空应解释为什么不把孩子和大人分开，A 选项“Adults act as models for a host of things(大人在很多事情上都是孩子的榜样)”解释了孩子和 大人在一起可以学到很多东西，因此不应该把他们分开，能承接上文，符合题意。故选A。 【40题详解】由上文“For some kids,.large gatherings can feel overwhelming.(对于一些孩子来说， 大型聚会可能会让他们感到不知所措。)”可知，本空应说明如何应对这种情况，C选项“Preparing them in advance can make a big difference(提前为他们做好准备可以产生很大的不同)”说明了提前 为孩子做好准备可以帮助他们更好地应对大型聚会，能承接上文，符合题意。故选C。 完形填空本篇通过个人经历揭示了兴趣爱好如何从快乐源泉变成压力来源的过程，并最终提出要 接受不完美、享受过程的观点。难度中规中矩。 第41题D选项"wrapped up"需要结合前文"hours later"这个时间状语来理解。作者用几个小时完 成了人生第一个短篇故事，"wrap up"这个短语本身就带有"圆满完成"的意味，特别适合用来描述 创作过程的完结。相比之下，"showed off'带有炫耀意味，与初次创作的私密性不符："pulled over" 多用于车辆停靠："cut off"表示突然中断，都与创作完成的语境不符。这个选择为后文奠定了基调： 一个自然而然的创作开端。 第42题C前文提到"hours later'"完成故事，说明写作速度很快，"quickly"最符合文意。其他选项 "slowly"(缓慢)、"openly'"(公开)、"carefully"(仔细)与作者想要表达的快速完成创作的语境不 符。 第43题D"excitement'"准确捕捉了初尝创作时的那种纯粹喜悦。孩子们对新事物天然的好奇和热 情，正是最珍贵的创作原动力。"hope"显得太过目标导向："surprise"只强调意外性："curiosity"则 偏重求知欲。唯有"excitement'"能完整呈现那种发现创作乐趣时的雀跃心情，与后文热情消退形成 鲜明对比。 第44题D与前文的"self-doubt'"(自我怀疑)相呼应，从创作出口变成了压力来源，"stress"(压 力)最准确。其他选项relief"(解脱)、"truth"(真相)、"inspiration”(灵感)与作者想传递的负面 情绪不符。 第45题A这里需要一个描述这种变化的词，"shif"(转变)最符合从乐趣到压力的转变过程。其 他选项"accident"(事故)、"blessing"(祝福)、"adjustment'"(调整)都不如"转变"准确。 第46题B前文说爱好最初是轻松的，因此"escape'"(逃避/放松方式)最符合作为休闲活动的本 质。其他选项"growth"(成长)、"focus'"(焦点)、"commitment'"(承诺)与放松，轻松的语境不符。 第47题C社会压力往往是要"excl"(擅长/出类拔萃)，与后文的高标准期望一致。其他选项"Iive" (生活)、"struggle"(挣扎)、"contribute'”(贡献)不如"擅长"贴切。 第48题B列举绘画、演奏乐器等都属于"oursuits'"(追求/活动)。其他选项"ideas'"(想法)、 "distraction"(分心)、"ambition”(野心)与文章中的具体爱好不符。 第49题C尽管有自我怀疑，仍然坚持写作，"in spite of"(尽管)最准确。其他选项"by means of' 3 ▣g Q夸克扫描王 极速扫描，就是高效 ▣a (通过)、"with respect to'”(关于)、"in search of"不符合让步关系。 第50题A追求完美需要很强的"drive"(驱动力)。其他选项"doubt'"(怀疑)、"supply'"(供应)、 "imagination”(想象)与本段内追求完美的语境不符。 第5】题B从"passion'”(热情)变成琐事，形成强烈对比。其他选项"story"(故事)、"challenge" (挑战)、"possibility'"(可能性)不如"热情"准确。 第52题A这种心态"robs"(剥夺)了曾经的快乐，与后文呼应。其他选项"reminds'"(提醒)、"warns" (警告)、"informs”(通知)与文章中的负面影响"不符。 第53题B认识到"okay"(没关系)不擅长某事，与后文的"接受不完美"一致。其他选项"sad"、 "intolerable'”(无法忍受)、"awesome”(很棒)不符合接受缺点的语境。 第54题C完美往往是"subjective"(主观的)，与个人标准相关。其他选项"random"(随机)、 "temporary"(暂时)、"magical"(神奇)与文章中完美主义的特点不符。 第55题D"expectation"与"enjoyment'"的平衡是全文的解题钥匙。不是要放弃追求("overwork"), 也不是盲目乐观("enthusiasm"),更不是否定快乐("joy"),而是在自我期待与现实享受间找到平 衡点。这个选择完美总结了全文的主旨思想。 A Chinese Calligraphy Competition Last weekend,our school successfully held a Chinese calligraphy competition,the main purpose of which was to boost students'enthusiasm for traditional Chinese culture and enhance their calligraphy proficiency. The event began with an inspiring speech by the headmaster.Then,students from different grades took their seats and immersed themselves in the creation.The atmosphere was filled with a strong sense of concentration.After several hours of intense competition,the judges evaluated the works meticulously ()Eventually,the excellent works were exhibited in the school gallery. Participating in this competition,I was deeply impressed by the charm of calligraphy.It made me understand that calligraphy is not only a form of writing but also a carrier of traditional Chinese culture. I'm looking forward to more such activities. 读后续写： Several weeks later.I found an envelope on my desk with only the word "Angel"written on it. Curious and slightly puzzled,I opened it and found a heartfelt letter from the man I had met on the train that day.In his letter,he thanked me for taking the time to talk to him when he was at his lowest.He shared that he had been facing overwhelming personal struggles and had even considered ending his life that very day.My simple act of reaching out,he wrote,had reminded him that there were still people who cared,and it gave him the strength to keep going.The letter closed with words that touched me deeply: "You were the angel I needed.God heard my prayer and sent you at just the right time." Deeply touched yet still shaken,I sat there holding the letter,feeling lucky that I followed my inner voice.I had almost ignored that "inner voice"urging me to speak to him,but now I understood why I hadn't.It was a small act,but it was indeed a calling of my inner kindness,which had made a significant difference in his life.From that day on,I promised myself to always listen to that quiet voice within, especially when it persuaded me to show kindness or reach out to someone in need even there was no apparent reason.Sometimes,a few minutes of our time can mean the world to someone else,and perhaps, in our own small way,we can all be someone's"angel." 4 ▣ 。夸克扫描王 极速扫描，就是高效南阳一中高二年级2025年春期期中考前模拟 英语试题 说明： 1,本试卷分第I卷（选择题，满分95分）和第Ⅱ卷（非选择题，满分55分）两部分. 2将所有答秉均按题号填涂或填写在答题卡或答题纸相应的答题处，否则不得 分。满分150分，考试时间120分钟. 第I卷（选择题，共95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， 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.What does the man expect the woman to do?

For Bao,a Stanford chemical engineer focusing on polymers(聚合物)，the skin is not only a sensory organ but also a flexible,stretchable,and self-healing material.Bao works in an emerging field that aims to develop electronic skin,or e-skin,to recreate some functions of the human skin for use in artificial limbs (as well as robotics.For people who wear artificial limbs,a sense of touch would improve their quality of life immeasurably. "Our current electronics are easily broken and difficult to bend or move.But if we can make them all like skin,it can potentially change how humans interact and connect with electronics,"Bao says.Bao sees possible applications for e-skin in wearable devices."There is a lot of interest in wearable devices that go beyond just measuring how many steps we walk each day,or the heart rate," she adds. The key to such delicate applications is that the electronics must be stretchable.That's where polymers come in.A polymer is a large molecule (made up of smaller molecules that are linked together like a chain.By changing the structure of the molecules,Bao and her team came up with a new flexible material that was perfect for the job. At Stanford,Bao and her colleagues worked on polymers for displays that can stretch and fold. After more than three years of work,they published a proof-of-principle study in the journal Nature for a super-stretchy polymer.The material can be eventually used for body-worn electronics that measure and display vital signs.Bao is driven by the idea of developing electronics that could benefit medical diagnosis and health care.But she thinks the road to commercialization is long. 24.Which is one of the goals of developing e-skin? A.To touch robots. B.To replace artificial limbs. C.To aid some disabled individuals. D.To improve humans'sensory organs. 25.What does Bao expect of e-skin compared to current electronics? A.It will be less convenient to wear. B.It will be more durable and flexible. C.It will be less interactive with humans.D.It will be more bendable and breakable. ,中考前模拟英语试题 第3页，共8页 ▣ Q夸克扫描王 极速扫描，就是高效 26.What can we learn about the super-stretchy polymer from the text? A.It lacks proof of principle. B.It can forecast the body's vital signs. C.It has been commercialized and sells well.D.It is in the research and development stage. 27.What is the best title for the text? A.Electronics:Becoming the Focus of Engineers B.E-skin:Transforming Human-Tech Interaction C.A Polymer:Acting as a Perfect Chemical Material D.Applications:Changing the Structure of the Molecules The cliche(陈词滥调)of a knitter is a white-haired lady.But in the 194Os,young male Royal Air Force pilots used needles as they waited for their next mission.Wartime pilots crashed a lot and "lap crafts"like knitting,helped rebuild flexibility in wounded limbs while also helping to settle wounded minds.They were the foundation of early occupational therapy () Today,millions of people around the world employ these same techniques."They are closely associated with our mental health,"says Janine Smith,the owner of a store that sells supplies for knitting and crocheting(用钩针编制)."I know that if I haven't knitted for a few days,I really miss it. It's like meditation." Physiotherapist Betsan Corkhill and occupational therapist Jill Riley were part of a team from Cardiff University that,ten years ago,surveyed more than 3,500 knitters and found that the more frequently people knitted,the calmer and happier they felt. In reality,it is a"Flow",which is a concept first named by psychologist Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi as he wrote in his book,"The best moments in our lives are not the passive,receptive,relaxing times. The best moments usually occur if a person's body or mind is stretched to its limits in a voluntary effort to accomplish something difficult and worthwhile." Shauna Richardson knows just how true this is.The artist spent 18 months in a state of flow when she crocheted three seven-metre-long lions for the 2012 Cultural Olympiad.To complete the task,which required nearly 38 miles of wool,she says she had to "zone everything out and sustain a state of mind driven by rhythm and process." But smaller projects will also get you there.Even a simple knitting or crochet pattern requires attentiveness to ensure that each stitch is made correctly.And if there's not enough challenge,you can make additions,from colour changes to textured stitches to highly complicated patterns. The Cardiff research team found that even though most of the people surveyed were employed, three-quarters of those who knitted three or more times a week felt significantly more able to organise their thoughts and forget their problems. 28.What's the purpose of the first paragraph? A.To explore early occupational therapy B.To introduce the uses of knitting. C.To distinguish between two types of pilots. D.To stress knitting is not only for old women. 29.On which occasion will a person experience "Flow"? A.Playing computer games to one's heart's content. B.Figuring out a good solution all of a sudden. C.Working on a technical problem devotedly D.Hanging out with a long-lost good friend. 30.What can you infer from the last two paragraphs? A.One stitch missed may lead to the loss of one's attentiveness. 期中考前模拟爽语试题 第4页，共8页 ▣▣ 。夸克扫描王 极速扫描，就是高效 ▣ B.Colors and patterns make a difference to the beauty of the project C.Smaller projects will not contribute much to experiencing "Flow". D.Frequent knitters are better at handling their thoughts and challenges. 31.What is the best title of the text? A.Active Hands,Calm Minds. B.Unique Therapy,Effective Healing. C.Special Techniques,Organized Thoughts. D.Simple Knitting,Strong Body. D If you use the internet,.you've probably heard of a filter bubble(过滤气泡).Internet sites and social media platforms use algorithms (that show you content based on your previous interactions,likes,and shares.Over time,this creates a filter bubble where you only see content that agrees with your interests and beliefs,which serves to convince you that your beliefs are true.But what you might not know is that in similar fashion,your brain has several mechanisms to filter information,creating personal filter bubbles that deeply shape how you live your life. Self-created filter bubbles happen through various cognitive processes,and they have multiple consequences.They shape your experience of what's happening by forming a lens (H)through which you see and interpret the world.On the internet,because things are being presented based on past user history,no two people get the same results when they search for something on the internet or open their news feed.In real life,no two people are experiencing an event or seeing a situation in the exact same way,because we all bring our own past experiences and biases (to situations, causing us to process them differently. Filter bubbles can cause you to stay stuck in self-created and often self-limiting patterns of thought and behavior.If you've ever wondered why change is so hard,it's because your mental filter bubbles make it difficult to see different possibilities.If you hold the belief that you're not someone who can have a high-paying job,you won't look for one and you'll only seek out and see jobs that match up with what you think you're worth. Filter bubbles can also prevent critical thinking and can lead to a limited and biased view of the world,where people don't consider alternative viewpoints and don't engage with others outside of their own circles.When we only consume information that confirms our preexisting beliefs and values, we don't question the truth of that information or properly evaluate the evidence. While you can't prevent your brain from creating selective filter bubbles,you can become more aware so that you don't have to be limited or trapped by them. 32.What can we learn about filter bubbles? A.They shape our interpretations of the world. B.They have changed the way we view ourselves. C.They are frequent occurrences and have little effect on us. D.They assist us in making friends with like-minded individuals. 33.How do filter bubbles impact individuals'ability to embrace change? A.They facilitate open-mindedness and flexibility. B.They make individuals resistant to new opportunities. C.They help individuals adapt quickly to new situations. D.They prevent individuals from successfully securing a job. 34.What might the author continue talking about? A.Examples of creating filter bubbles. B.Barriers to overcoming filter bubbles. C.Ways of escaping from filter bubbles. D.Benefits of recognizing filter bubbles. 35 What does the text mainly talk about? 高期中考前模拟英语试题 第5页，共8页 。夸克扫描王 ▣▣ 极速扫描，就是高效 ▣ A.The dangers of bias in information consumption. B.The influence of past experiences on our worldview. C.The benefits of social media algorithms on our mind.

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 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。 I remember opening my iPad one day in fifth grade,inspired by a lighthearted conversation with my cousin about scary stories.Hours later,I had 41 my first short story.Writing 42 became a beloved hobby,but as I grew older,the 43 began to fade.I started reading more books, encountering critiques online,and comparing my work to others.Self-doubt crept in,and what once felt like a creative outlet became a source of 44.I felt I had to be"good"at writing to share it.

While on the train,I would always choose a seat away from the crowd so I could read the newspaper in peace and quiet. At work,I am always burdened with questions from co-workers,suppliers,telephone calls,and then those dreaded meetings,so the last thing I need is some stranger to sit beside me and start small talk. I don't know why,but for some reason,when I got on the train today,it was unusually full.With hesitation,I sat down in the only seat available beside a middle-aged man who had his head down and seemed to be lost in his thoughts.I was glad that he didn't notice when I sat next to him as he just continued to look down towards the floor. Shortly after the train left for my 30-minute ride downtown,I found myself wondering what this man was thinking about.What could be so important that he didn't even see me sitting next to him?I tried to forget about it and started to read my paper.However,for some strange reason,this "inner voice"kept prompting me to talk to this man.I tried to ignore the "voice"as there was no way I was starting a conversation with a complete stranger. As you probably guessed,I eventually broke down and came up with an excuse to ask him a question.When he raised his head and turned his eyes toward me,I could see that he must have been really upset as he had red eyes and still had some tears rolling down the side of his face,despite his weak attempt to wipe them away.I can't describe the sadness I felt seeing someone in so much pain. We talked for about 20 minutes,and in the end,he seemed to be doing better.As we were leaving the train,he thanked me heartily for being an"angel"by taking the time to talk.I never did find out what was making his heart so heavy with pain,but I was glad I listened to the"voice"that day. 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。 Paragraph 1:Several weeks later,I found an envelope on my desk with the word "Angel"written on it.
