Some of the games are filled with beautiful scenes of nature, like the blue flax flowers in the fantasy game Guild Wars 2 which were inspired by real-life plants. “We have found video games and nature are well connected,” said video gamers Hannah Young and Aleks Atanasovski, who loved nature. “Then we came up with a way to allow game enthusiasts to grow the plants they love in their favorite games.” The result was an official collaboration between Guild Wars and SeedSaga. “It’s the partnership using the gamers’ love of getting rewards from their favorite game and having the opportunity to grow something in the real world like they would do in the game,” Young said. SeedSaga is a botanical pilot, the first of its kind, which allows the players of Guild Wars to apply for seed packs featuring the artistic forms from the game. “The skills that you have in the gaming world — like watering virtual gardens — can be applied in the real world,” Young said. The first campaign was limited with only 30 seed packages that went out in April 2024. “Because games are inspired by real-life plants, there are a large number of plants in the game that are exactly the same as those in nature,” Atanasovski said. “The applications poured in and most applicants had to wait for next time. If only we had made one thousand bags of seed packages.” “On social media, what many people are talking about is not the games themselves, like the missions they’re doing, but spotting the landscapes and appreciating them just like they do if they are on a hike in the real world,” said Young. “The things people talk about are so similar to what they might see in a forest or something really amazing in nature. I think our initiative is not just a matter of games having seed packages. We want to remind them that in nature they can have the same feeling and the surprise they get in the game.” 4 What inspired Young and Atanasovski to put forward the initiative? A. Their awareness of a special link. B. Their encounter with a flower lover. C. Their work experience in gardening. D. Their passion for creating video games. 5. What can be known about the first campaign? A. It was limited to top-level games. B. There were insufficient applicants. C. It was well received among games. D. Real-life plants for it were hard to find. 6. What does Young most probably expect video gamers to do? A. Get close to nature in the real world. B. Discuss their missions in the games. C. Share seed packages with each other. D. Avoid spending time on social media. 7. What is the best title for the text? A. Observing Real-life Plants Online B. Exploring Nature in Various Games C. Turning Video Gamers into Gardeners D. Separating Gaming from the Real World C With the completion of the Human Genome Project more than 20 years ago, and the discovery of the double helix structure of DNA enjoying its 70th birthday last year, you might assume that we know how life works. Think again! Evolution has a 4 billion-year head start on us. However, several aspects of the standard picture of how life works-the idea of the genome as a blueprint, of genes as instructions for building an organism, of proteins as precisely tailored molecular machines and more- have wildly reduced the complexity of life. In the excellent book How Life Works, Philip Ball explores the new biology, revealing life to be a far richer, more delicate affair than we have understood. Ball explains that life is a system of many levels—genes, proteins, cells, tissues, and body modules-each with its own rules and principles, so there is no unique place to look for an answer to it. Also, How Life Works is a much more appealing title than the overused question of “What is life?”. We should be less concerned with what a thing is, and rather more focused on what a thing does. Defining a living thing implies an unchangeable ideal type, but this will run counter to the Darwinian principle that living things are four-dimensional, ever changing in time as well as space. But it’s an idea that is deeply rooted within our culture. Ball points out that we rely on metaphors (比喻) to explain and explore the complexities of life, but none suffice. We are taught that cells are machines, though no machine we have invented behaves like the simplest cell; that DNA is a code or a blueprint, though it is neither; that the brain is a computer, though no computer behaves like a brain at all. Ball is a terrific writer, pumping out books on incredibly diverse subjects. There’s a wealth of well-researched information in here, and some details that are a bit chewy for the lay reader. But the book serves as an essential introduction on our never-ending quest to understand life. 8. What does paragraph 2 intend to state? A. The research of biology is tricky. B. Human evolution is a lengthy process. C. Genes determine the structure of living things. D. Commonly held models of life are oversimplified. 9. What does the underlined phrase “run counter to” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Go against. B. Refer to. C. Account for. D. Contribute to. 10. What is Ball’s attitude to using metaphors to explain life? A. Tolerant. B. Disapproving. C. Objective. D. Indecisive. 11. What is the purpose of the text? A. To review a book. B. To introduce genetic map. C. To honour a writer. D. To correct a misperception. D At top universities, there’s a phenomenon known as “Stanford Duck Syndrome (综合征)”. Like ducks, students appear to move gracefully (优雅地). However, beneath the surface, they’re kicking desperately to keep up. Experts from Stanford’s Health Services uncovered this troubling trend: during the day, many Stanford students are seen socializing in cafés, seemingly without any stress or the need to study. However, at night, they start studying, sometimes for the entire night, trying to maintain the image of effortless success. This comes at a high price: tiredness and anxiety are widespread. Furthermore, it leads to a common misconception: true geniuses achieve success with ease, while those working hard are less capable. In an effort to challenge this misconception, researchers designed an experiment. Participants were asked to observe a series of colors carefully while scientists tracked their brain activity throughout the process. The experiment was divided into two parts: one with easily distinguishable colors and the other with colors that were quite similar, requiring more effort to differentiate. As the difficulty of the task increased, there was a noticeable increase in brain activity, particularly in areas linked to memory and abstract reasoning. The study reveals that as tasks require more effort, more areas of the brain become engaged. Growth doesn’t come from talent alone but from the consistent application of effort. Our brain functions like a muscle. Without effort, even our inborn talents will fade over time. This pushes us to reconsider the underlying culture that might lead to this phenomenon. Instead of focusing too much on outcomes or singing high praise for inborn talents, we should emphasize the learning process and continuous improvement. By encouraging a culture that values effort, we can help students realize that intelligence is not fixed but grows through hard work. Such a shift would not only reduce the pressures associated with the “Stanford Duck Syndrome”, but also have a profound impact on personal development and the future of education. 12. What phenomenon does the “Stanford Duck Syndrome” probably describe? A. Prioritizing effort over well-being. B. Relieving stress through social activities. C. Displaying graceful images to attract others. D. Hiding hard work to appear naturally gifted. 13. How does the experiment in paragraph 3 challenge the misconception? A. By showing effort fuels the brain activity. B. By proving focus enhances brain function. C. By linking color recognition to intelligence. D. By associating careful observation with talent. 14. What is the author’s main concern about “Stanford Duck Syndrome”? A. It values the learning process over outcomes. B. It causes stress and false ideas about success. C. It prevents students from recognizing their talents. D. It makes students prioritize socializing over studying. 15. Which of the following might the author agree with? A. Fortune favors those with a clear vision. B. Sweat is the ink that writes a masterpiece. C. Work in silence and let success make the noise. D. Keep moving forward even when no one sees it. 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下列短文，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。 Once a year in a small mountain village, the Mande people gather to hear the folk stories of their traditions. The man playing an instrument called Sosso-Bala while singing is the storyteller. He holds all the folk knowledge of the Mande people. Most of us don’t have a musical instrument that ties us together, but we have someone in our lives who’s the keeper of our folk knowledge. Often it’s a grandmother, who keeps all our stories of wisdom ready to tell upon request.____16____ .What’s the best way to get a baby to sleep? Where do I come from? What’s my moral compass? The stories provide an answer, and it’s useful to speak with someone who knows how things are done. ____17____ Researchers have documented folk knowledge in other species whales returning to parts of the sea that they’d abandoned a generation before; monkeys that communicate hunting skills to their offspring (后代). Folk knowledge is not only culture, it’s also survival.____18____ Traditionally, we share it in small units—families sharing around a dinner table.____19____Look at any social median, and you’ll see folk knowledge at work and at play. It’s exploded as we’re trained to look for information online, rather than from within. In this case, chances are that our questions can be answered with misinformation. But we don’t gather once a year to reality check our “folk stories” as the Mande people do; nor do we center our folk traditions around a musical instrument. The internet has no reality except its own and, left unchecked, its wisdom has no rhythm(节奏).____20____ A. It’s just chaos. B. This is why we do it. C. Human wisdom has been passed down through generations. D. The stories can be useful for dealing with all sorts of doubts. E. Nowadays, folk knowledge has expanded to digital networks. F. Now the internet has made valuable folk wisdom at your fingertips. G. Recently, we discovered that this very human practice isn’t limited to humans. 第三部分 语言运用(共三节，满分40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。 The last thing Matthews remembered before waking up in the hospital was riding along a quiet street.

Her teammates had to ____23____ her on what had happened. “Initially, you just got up straight away and started moving around, ____24____ us that you were fine to go on,” one teammate recalled. “I don’t____25____ any of that,” Matthews smiled. “You’d actually hit the car so perfectly that it broke the thickest bone above your neck,” the teammate continued. Many people would think twice about their choice of ____26____ after a disastrous episode like that. But Matthews is clearly not the ____27____ person.

In Mexico, I was a cheerful girl who loved making people laugh with my jokes and inventing fun games to play with my friends. However, when I arrived in America, I found it hard to fit in, and I became quieter. We lived in a small house with a modest yard where we grew vegetables-my responsibility. While I took pride in watching them grow, there were times when I dreamed of having a beautiful garden like my schoolmate Luella’s, with its delicate tulips (郁金香). Although Luella lived in the same neighborhood as me, we barely knew each other. It was after a tornado that Luella and I finally became close friends. The tornado struck on a Sunday afternoon. The gentle breeze transformed into a strong wind, and thick gray clouds filled the sky. Gradually, the tornado took shape, starting as a thin rope and growing into a large black funnel (漏斗). My entire family gathered in the bathroom, seeking shelter from the storm. Terrified, I sat close to my mom, knees in my chest. After the storm had passed, our worries and fears were replaced by relief that we were unharmed and that our house had remained undamaged. As I stepped outside, I witnessed the extent of the damage the tornado had caused to our neighborhood. Across the street, a tall tree had fallen, crushing Luella’s garden in front of her yellow house. We hurried over to check on it. Fortunately, her family seemed to be away at the time, and no one was injured. However, her once-beautiful garden was in ruins, with the fallen tree destroying the tulips and debris (碎片) spread everywhere. I could only imagine how heartbroken they must feel seeing this. Then my mom’s usual words rang in my ear, “It is more blessed to give than to receive,” and my family started to think about how we could help. 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。 Just at that moment, Luella’s family returned in their car. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Even after the debris was cleared, I could still sense Luella’s sorrow for her lost garden. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 大庆实验中学2023级高二下学期期中考试 英语学科试题 说明：1.请将答案填涂在答题卡的指定区域内。 2.满分150分，考试时间120分钟。 第一部分 听力(共两节，满分20分) 第一节(共5小题;每小题1分，满分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.

It has about 13 million artworks that are well-known at home and abroad.(皇家安大略博物馆于1914年开放，是加拿大最大、最全面的博物馆。它拥有约1300万件国内外知名的艺术品)”可知，游客可以在The Royal Ontario Museum了解到世界著名的艺术品收藏。故选B。 B Playing video games is not usually an outdoor activity, but gaming and nature aren’t unrelated. Some of the games are filled with beautiful scenes of nature, like the blue flax flowers in the fantasy game Guild Wars 2 which were inspired by real-life plants. “We have found video games and nature are well connected,” said video gamers Hannah Young and Aleks Atanasovski, who loved nature. “Then we came up with a way to allow game enthusiasts to grow the plants they love in their favorite games.” The result was an official collaboration between Guild Wars and SeedSaga. “It’s the partnership using the gamers’ love of getting rewards from their favorite game and having the opportunity to grow something in the real world like they would do in the game,” Young said. SeedSaga is a botanical pilot, the first of its kind, which allows the players of Guild Wars to apply for seed packs featuring the artistic forms from the game. “The skills that you have in the gaming world — like watering virtual gardens — can be applied in the real world,” Young said. The first campaign was limited with only 30 seed packages that went out in April 2024. “Because games are inspired by real-life plants, there are a large number of plants in the game that are exactly the same as those in nature,” Atanasovski said. “The applications poured in and most applicants had to wait for next time. If only we had made one thousand bags of seed packages.” “On social media, what many people are talking about is not the games themselves, like the missions they’re doing, but spotting the landscapes and appreciating them just like they do if they are on a hike in the real world,” said Young. “The things people talk about are so similar to what they might see in a forest or something really amazing in nature. I think our initiative is not just a matter of games having seed packages. We want to remind them that in nature they can have the same feeling and the surprise they get in the game.” 4. What inspired Young and Atanasovski to put forward the initiative? A. Their awareness of a special link. B. Their encounter with a flower lover. C. Their work experience in gardening. D. Their passion for creating video games. 5. What can be known about the first campaign? A. It was limited to top-level games. B. There were insufficient applicants. C. It was well received among games. D. Real-life plants for it were hard to find. 6. What does Young most probably expect video gamers to do? A. Get close to nature in the real world. B. Discuss their missions in the games. C. Share seed packages with each other. D. Avoid spending time on social media. 7. What is the best title for the text? A. Observing Real-life Plants Online B. Exploring Nature in Various Games C. Turning Video Gamers into Gardeners D. Separating Gaming from the Real World 【答案】4. A 5. C 6. A 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章介绍了电子游戏玩家Hannah Young和Aleks Atanasovski发现了游戏和自然之间的特殊联系，因此他们想出了一个方法来鼓励游戏玩家在现实世界里种植游戏里的植物，这使得《激战》游戏和SeedSaga达成了合作，为玩家提供种子包。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的““We have found video games and nature are well connected,” said video gamers Hannah Young and Aleks Atanasovski, who loved nature. “Then we came up with a way to allow game enthusiasts to grow the plants they love in their favorite games.”(“我们发现电子游戏和大自然有着很好的联系。”Hannah Young和Aleks Atanasovski说。“然后我们想出了一种方法，让游戏爱好者种植他们在他们最喜欢的游戏中所喜欢的植物。”)”可知，Young和Atanasovski意识到电子游戏和自然之间存在特殊联系，这激发他们想到了一个让游戏玩家种植游戏中的植物的方法。故选A。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“The applications poured in and most applicants had to wait for next time. If only we had made one thousand bags of seed packages.(申请者蜂拥而至，大多数申请者不得不等待下一次。要是我们做了一千袋种子包装就好了。)”可推断，第一次活动广受玩家欢迎。故选C。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“We want to remind them that in nature they can have the same feeling and the surprise they get in the game.(我们想提醒他们，在自然界中，他们也可以有在游戏中获得的相同感觉和惊喜。)”可推断，Young最有可能希望游戏玩家在现实世界里多亲近自然。故选A。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段中的““Then we came up with a way to allow game enthusiasts to grow the plants they love in their favorite games.” The result was an official collaboration between Guild Wars and SeedSaga. “It’s the partnership using the gamers’ love of getting rewards from their favorite game and having the opportunity to grow something in the real world like they would do in the game,” Young said.(“然后我们想出了一种方法，让游戏爱好者种植他们在他们最喜欢的游戏中所喜欢的植物。”结果是《激战》和SeedSaga之间的正式合作。Young说：“这是一种伙伴关系，利用玩家的热爱——对从他们最喜欢的游戏中获得奖励，并有机会在现实世界中种东西，就像他们在游戏中做的一样。”)”可知，本文主要讲述了两位电子游戏玩家发起了一项鼓励游戏玩家在现实世界里种植游戏里的植物的活动，所以C项“让电子游戏玩家变成园艺爱好者”符合题意。故选C。 C With the completion of the Human Genome Project more than 20 years ago, and the discovery of the double helix structure of DNA enjoying its 70th birthday last year, you might assume that we know how life works. Think again! Evolution has a 4 billion-year head start on us. However, several aspects of the standard picture of how life works-the idea of the genome as a blueprint, of genes as instructions for building an organism, of proteins as precisely tailored molecular machines and more- have wildly reduced the complexity of life. In the excellent book How Life Works, Philip Ball explores the new biology, revealing life to be a far richer, more delicate affair than we have understood. Ball explains that life is a system of many levels—genes, proteins, cells, tissues, and body modules-each with its own rules and principles, so there is no unique place to look for an answer to it. Also, How Life Works is a much more appealing title than the overused question of “What is life?”. We should be less concerned with what a thing is, and rather more focused on what a thing does. Defining a living thing implies an unchangeable ideal type, but this will run counter to the Darwinian principle that living things are four-dimensional, ever changing in time as well as space. But it’s an idea that is deeply rooted within our culture. Ball points out that we rely on metaphors (比喻) to explain and explore the complexities of life, but none suffice. We are taught that cells are machines, though no machine we have invented behaves like the simplest cell; that DNA is a code or a blueprint, though it is neither; that the brain is a computer, though no computer behaves like a brain at all. Ball is a terrific writer, pumping out books on incredibly diverse subjects. There’s a wealth of well-researched information in here, and some details that are a bit chewy for the lay reader. But the book serves as an essential introduction on our never-ending quest to understand life. 8. What does paragraph 2 intend to state? A. The research of biology is tricky. B. Human evolution is a lengthy process. C. Genes determine the structure of living things. D. Commonly held models of life are oversimplified. 9. What does the underlined phrase “run counter to” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Go against. B. Refer to. C. Account for. D. Contribute to. 10. What is Ball’s attitude to using metaphors to explain life? A. Tolerant. B. Disapproving. C. Objective. D. Indecisive. 11. What is the purpose of the text? A. To review a book. B. To introduce genetic map. C. To honour a writer. D. To correct a misperception. 【答案】8. D 9. A 10. B 11. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了《生命是如何运作的》一书关于生命的理解。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“you might assume that we know how life works. Think again!(你可能会认为我们知道生命是如何运作的。再想想!)”和第二段“Evolution has a 4 billion-year head start on us. However, several aspects of the standard picture of how life works-the idea of the genome as a blueprint, of genes as instructions for building an organism, of proteins as precisely tailored molecular machines and more- have wildly reduced the complexity of life. (进化比我们早了40亿年。然而，关于生命如何运作的标准图景的几个方面——基因组是蓝图，基因是构建生物体的指令，蛋白质是精确定制的分子机器等等——大大降低了生命的复杂性)”推知，第二段第2段想说明普遍持有的生命模型过于简化了，即我们并不真正知道生命是如何运作的。故选D。 【9题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“Defining a living thing implies an unchangeable ideal type(定义一个生物意味着一个不可改变的理想类型)”以及后文“the Darwinian principle that living things are four-dimensional, ever changing in time as well as space.(达尔文认为生物是四维的，在时间和空间上都是不断变化的)”可知，定义生物意味着一种不可改变的理想类型，这违背了达尔文生物是思维的原则，即生物在时间和空间上不断变化。故划线词意思是“违背”。故选A。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Ball points out that we rely on metaphors (比喻) to explain and explore the complexities of life, but none suffice.(鲍尔指出，我们依靠隐喻来解释和探索生活的复杂性，但这还不够)”可知，鲍尔对用隐喻来解释生活的态度是不赞成的。故选B。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“In the excellent book How Life Works, Philip Ball explores the new biology, revealing life to be a far richer, more delicate affair than we have understood.(在《生命是如何运作的》一书中，菲利普·鲍尔探索了新的生物学，揭示了生命比我们所理解的要丰富得多、微妙得多)”以及最后一段“Ball is a terrific writer, pumping out books on incredibly diverse subjects. There’ s a wealth of well-researched information in here, and some details that are a bit chewy for the lay reader. But the book serves as an essential introduction on our never-ending quest to understand life.(鲍尔是一位了不起的作家，他写了大量题材极其丰富的书。这里有大量经过充分研究的信息，还有一些细节对于外行读者来说有点难以理解。但这本书是我们对生命永无止境的探索的基本介绍)”推知，文章的目的是评论一本书。故选A。 D At top universities, there’s a phenomenon known as “Stanford Duck Syndrome (综合征)”. Like ducks, students appear to move gracefully (优雅地). However, beneath the surface, they’re kicking desperately to keep up. Experts from Stanford’s Health Services uncovered this troubling trend: during the day, many Stanford students are seen socializing in cafés, seemingly without any stress or the need to study. However, at night, they start studying, sometimes for the entire night, trying to maintain the image of effortless success. This comes at a high price: tiredness and anxiety are widespread. Furthermore, it leads to a common misconception: true geniuses achieve success with ease, while those working hard are less capable. In an effort to challenge this misconception, researchers designed an experiment. Participants were asked to observe a series of colors carefully while scientists tracked their brain activity throughout the process. The experiment was divided into two parts: one with easily distinguishable colors and the other with colors that were quite similar, requiring more effort to differentiate. As the difficulty of the task increased, there was a noticeable increase in brain activity, particularly in areas linked to memory and abstract reasoning. The study reveals that as tasks require more effort, more areas of the brain become engaged. Growth doesn’t come from talent alone but from the consistent application of effort. Our brain functions like a muscle. Without effort, even our inborn talents will fade over time. This pushes us to reconsider the underlying culture that might lead to this phenomenon. Instead of focusing too much on outcomes or singing high praise for inborn talents, we should emphasize the learning process and continuous improvement. By encouraging a culture that values effort, we can help students realize that intelligence is not fixed but grows through hard work. Such a shift would not only reduce the pressures associated with the “Stanford Duck Syndrome”, but also have a profound impact on personal development and the future of education. 12. What phenomenon does the “Stanford Duck Syndrome” probably describe? A. Prioritizing effort over well-being. B. Relieving stress through social activities. C. Displaying graceful images to attract others. D. Hiding hard work to appear naturally gifted. 13. How does the experiment in paragraph 3 challenge the misconception? A. By showing effort fuels the brain activity. B. By proving focus enhances brain function. C. By linking color recognition to intelligence. D. By associating careful observation with talent. 14 What is the author’s main concern about “Stanford Duck Syndrome”? A. It values the learning process over outcomes. B. It causes stress and false ideas about success. C. It prevents students from recognizing their talents. D. It makes students prioritize socializing over studying. 15. Which of the following might the author agree with? A. Fortune favors those with a clear vision. B. Sweat is the ink that writes a masterpiece. C. Work in silence and let success make the noise. D. Keep moving forward even when no one sees it. 【答案】12. D 13. A 14. B 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了“斯坦福鸭子综合征”现象及其影响，并强调努力的重要性。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。由文章第一段“At top universities, there’s a phenomenon known as “Stanford Duck Syndrome (综合征)”. Like ducks, students appear to move gracefully (优雅地). However, beneath the surface, they’re kicking desperately to keep up. (在顶尖大学中，有一种被称为“斯坦福鸭子综合征”的现象。就像鸭子一样，学生们表面上看起来行动优雅。然而，在水面之下，他们正拼命划水以跟上节奏。)”和第二段中“Experts from Stanford’s Health Services uncovered this troubling trend: during the day, many Stanford students are seen socializing in cafés, seemingly without any stress or the need to study. However, at night, they start studying, sometimes for the entire night, trying to maintain the image of effortless success. (斯坦福大学健康服务的专家揭示了这一令人担忧的趋势：白天，许多斯坦福学生被看到在咖啡馆里社交，似乎没有任何压力或学习的需求。然而，到了晚上，他们开始学习，有时甚至通宵达旦，试图维持那种毫不费力的成功形象。)”可知，“斯坦福鸭子综合征”描述的是学生们表面上看起来轻松优雅，实际上却在背后拼命努力，以维持自己轻松成功的形象。即隐藏努力工作以显得天生聪明。故选D。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第三段中“As the difficulty of the task increased, there was a noticeable increase in brain activity, particularly in areas linked to memory and abstract reasoning. (随着任务难度的增加，大脑活动明显增加，特别是在与记忆和抽象推理相关的区域。)”和第四段中“The study reveals that as tasks require more effort, more areas of the brain become engaged. (这项研究表明，随着任务需要更多的努力，大脑更多的区域会变得活跃。)”可知，实验通过展示任务难度增加时，大脑活动特别是与记忆和抽象推理相关的区域活动明显增加，来挑战“天才轻松成功，努力者能力不足”的误解，证明了努力会激发大脑活动。故选A。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第二段中“This comes at a high price: tiredness and anxiety are widespread. Furthermore, it leads to a common misconception: true geniuses achieve success with ease, while those working hard are less capable. (这付出了高昂的代价：疲惫和焦虑普遍存在。此外，这还导致了一个常见的误解：真正的天才能够轻松取得成功，而那些努力的人则能力较差。)”可知，作者对“斯坦福鸭子综合征”的主要担忧是它导致学生产生对成功的错误观念，即认为真正的天才能够轻松取得成功，而努力工作的人则能力较差。故选B。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。由文章倒数第二段中“Growth doesn’t come from talent alone but from the consistent application of effort. Our brain functions like a muscle. Without effort, even our inborn talents will fade over time. (成长不仅仅来自天赋，还来自持续的努力。我们的大脑就像肌肉一样。如果不努力，即使我们天生的才能也会随着时间的推移而消退。)”和“By encouraging a culture that values effort, we can help students realize that intelligence is not fixed but grows through hard work. (通过鼓励一种重视努力的文化，我们可以帮助学生认识到智力不是固定的，而是可以通过努力工作得到发展的。)”可知，作者认为成长不仅来自天赋，还来自持续的努力，大脑就像肌肉一样，如果不努力，即使天生的才能也会随时间消退，鼓励重视努力的文化可以帮助学生意识到智力不是固定的，而是通过努力工作成长的。因此，作者可能会同意“汗水是书写杰作的墨水”这一观点，即努力是取得成功的关键。故选B。 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下列短文，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。 Once a year in a small mountain village, the Mande people gather to hear the folk stories of their traditions. The man playing an instrument called Sosso-Bala while singing is the storyteller. He holds all the folk knowledge of the Mande people. Most of us don’t have a musical instrument that ties us together, but we have someone in our lives who’s the keeper of our folk knowledge. Often it’s a grandmother, who keeps all our stories of wisdom ready to tell upon request.____16____ .What’s the best way to get a baby to sleep? Where do I come from? What’s my moral compass? The stories provide an answer, and it’s useful to speak with someone who knows how things are done. ____17____ Researchers have documented folk knowledge in other species whales returning to parts of the sea that they’d abandoned a generation before; monkeys that communicate hunting skills to their offspring (后代). Folk knowledge is not only culture, it’s also survival.____18____ Traditionally, we share it in small units—families sharing around a dinner table.____19____Look at any social median, and you’ll see folk knowledge at work and at play. It’s exploded as we’re trained to look for information online, rather than from within. In this case, chances are that our questions can be answered with misinformation. But we don’t gather once a year to reality check our “folk stories” as the Mande people do; nor do we center our folk traditions around a musical instrument. The internet has no reality except its own and, left unchecked, its wisdom has no rhythm(节奏).____20____ A. It’s just chaos. B. This is why we do it. C. Human wisdom has been passed down through generations. D. The stories can be useful for dealing with all sorts of doubts. E. Nowadays, folk knowledge has expanded to digital networks. F. Now the internet has made valuable folk wisdom at your fingertips. G. Recently, we discovered that this very human practice isn’t limited to humans. 【答案】16. D 17. G 18. B 19. E 20. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章通过曼德人的事例，谈论了文化知识的传承。 【16题详解】 上文“Often it’s a grandmother, who keeps all our stories of wisdom ready to tell upon request.

In Mexico, I was a cheerful girl who loved making people laugh with my jokes and inventing fun games to play with my friends. However, when I arrived in America, I found it hard to fit in, and I became quieter. We lived in a small house with a modest yard where we grew vegetables-my responsibility. While I took pride in watching them grow, there were times when I dreamed of having a beautiful garden like my schoolmate Luella’s, with its delicate tulips (郁金香). Although Luella lived in the same neighborhood as me, we barely knew each other. It was after a tornado that Luella and I finally became close friends. The tornado struck on a Sunday afternoon. The gentle breeze transformed into a strong wind, and thick gray clouds filled the sky. Gradually, the tornado took shape, starting as a thin rope and growing into a large black funnel (漏斗). My entire family gathered in the bathroom, seeking shelter from the storm. Terrified, I sat close to my mom, knees in my chest. After the storm had passed, our worries and fears were replaced by relief that we were unharmed and that our house had remained undamaged. As I stepped outside, I witnessed the extent of the damage the tornado had caused to our neighborhood. Across the street, a tall tree had fallen, crushing Luella’s garden in front of her yellow house. We hurried over to check on it. Fortunately, her family seemed to be away at the time, and no one was injured. However, her once-beautiful garden was in ruins, with the fallen tree destroying the tulips and debris (碎片) spread everywhere. I could only imagine how heartbroken they must feel seeing this. Then my mom’s usual words rang in my ear, “It is more blessed to give than to receive,” and my family started to think about how we could help. 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。 Just at that moment, Luella’s family returned in their car. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Even after the debris was cleared, I could still sense Luella’s sorrow for her lost garden. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Just at that moment, Luella’ family returned in their car. Empathy surged within me as I saw their shock and disbelief. Approaching Luella, I tightly held her hands and said, “I’m so sorry for your loss, but thankfully you’re all right.” She weakly nodded, still puzzled by the shocking scene. My family volunteered to help clean up the mess, cutting down the branches and removing the fallen trees. To lift Luella’s spirits and give her comfort, I tried my best to cheer her up while tidying the garden with her, during which my own joyful personality seemed to revive a bit. Even after the debris was cleared, I could still sense Luella’ sorrow for her lost garden. My heart went out to her, knowing how much she had cherished those tulips that she had devoted so much energy to. Determined to restore the beauty of the garden, I suggested we rebuild the garden, which Luella delightedly agreed. Carefully planted and watered, the new tulip seedlings once again filled the garden, which symbolized the beginning of our friendship, as well as the turning that I finally got embraced by this new environment. My mom was right: it’s more blessed to give than to receive because when you give, you may receive something unexpected in return. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，主要讲述了作者七岁时从墨西哥搬到美国后变得沉默寡言，难以融入新环境。作者家有个种着蔬菜的院子，作者梦想拥有像同学露卢埃拉那样美丽的花园。一场龙卷风袭击了作者所在的街区，卢埃拉家的花园被毁，作者一家决定帮助卢埃拉一家清理废墟，作者也借此机会和卢埃拉成为了亲密朋友，还一起重建花园，最终作者也重新找回了曾经开朗的自己并逐渐融入新环境的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“就在这时，卢埃拉的家人开着车回来了。”可知，第一段可描写卢埃拉一家看到花园被毁后的反应，作者及家人对他们的安慰，以及大家一起清理废墟的过程，同时要体现作者在这个过程中情绪的变化 ②由第二段首句内容“即使在废墟被清理干净之后，我仍然能感觉到卢埃拉对她失去的花园的悲伤。”可知，第二段可描写作者感受到露埃拉的悲伤后决定采取行动，即提议重建花园，重建花园的过程以及花园重建后带来的意义。 2.续写线索：卢埃拉一家看到花园废墟的反应→作者安慰露埃拉→作者一家帮忙清理废墟→作者在清理过程中恢复开朗→废墟清理后卢埃拉仍悲伤→作者提议重建花园→一起重建花园→花园重建的意义→感悟给予的道理 3.词汇激活 行为类： ① 走近：approach/get close to ② 清理：clean up/clear away ③ 种植：plant/sow ④建议：suggest/recommend 情绪类 ① 震惊：shock/astonishment ② 高兴的：delighted/joyful 【点睛】【高分句型 1】Empathy surged within me as I saw their shock and disbelief.（运用了 as 引导的时间状语从句） 【高分句型 2】To lift Luella’s spirits and give her comfort, I tried my best to cheer her up while tidying the garden with her, during which my own joyful personality seemed to revive a bit.（运用了动词不定式作目的状语，while 引导的时间状语从句以及 “介词 + 关系代词 which” 引导的非限制性定语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
