In this experiment, you’ll use food to see if you can create a model bird migration. Experimental Procedure Finding a Place to Feed the Birds You’ll need to find a place where there are large groups of birds that you can feed bread to. There should be at least 15 birds at the location you choose and make sure bird feeding is allowed. Preparing for the Experiment 1. Before going to the bird-feeding location, tear one loaf of bread into pieces the size of a quarter coin. 2. Put one-third of the pieces into one plastic bag, and the remaining two-thirds into the second plastic bag. Doing the Experiment 1. Setup: *Position two bird feeders 20 feet apart, each inside a marked circle. *Position the two bird feeders 10 feet or closer to the birds. *Assign two bird counters and one person to handle the stopwatch. 2. Feeding & Counting: At “Go”, both feeders start throwing bread steadily within their circles. Every 2 minutes, the stopwatch holder calls “Time”, and bird counters record the number of birds in each circle. 3. Continuation: Repeat the process until bird feeder #1 runs out of bread. Feeder #2 continues feeding while counts continue every 2 minutes. 4. Final Counts: Stop when feeder #2 runs out of bread. 5.

He was also found to be severely deaf and received cochlear implants (耳蜗植入) at 18 months old. At his childhood home in suburban Sydney, he lovingly tended to a collection of pets: birds, turtles, a rabbit, a lamb, and a dog. “My parents were so open to me having all these strange pets, ” Marcus recalls, his blue eyes shining with happiness. “If you name it, I’ve probably had it. ” But it was weekends spent as a child and teen working on the family farm in Mudgee that set the course of Marcus’s career. On Friday nights, he and his younger sister would sleepily climb into their parents’ car, watching Sydney fade in the mirror as they reached starry, wide-open spaces of rural Mudgee. Marcus’s parents bought the farm as an escape from the city and a place to run cattle and sheep. In the same year Marcus was born, they planted a small vineyard (葡萄园) there. As the grapevines grew and matured, so did Marcus. Despite his disabilities, or perhaps because of them, Marcus developed a tough spirit and a strong sense of optimism. These qualities served him well when he worked as a ringer (畜牧工) on a 4, 000 km2 station in the Northern Territory. He drove a hand-operated car across the land, gathering together the thousands of cattle. “The work is a bit of organised chaos. You bring in some huge herds of cattle, sometimes numbering a few thousand in a herd, stretching out over a couple of kilometres of road, ” he says. “Every thing there is on a huge scale, but I think it helped that I had some experience from my family farm back home. ” In his career, Marcus longs to be a leader in his field. He admits his goals even scare him a bit. “If it doesn’t scare you a little, you’re probably not thinking big enough, ” he explains. “But I also just make the most of every day, because you’re only going to live in this moment once. ” 4. How does Marcus feel when looking back on his suburban Sydney time? A. Regretful. B. Grateful. C. Surprised. D. Humbled. 5. What determines Marcus’s career path? A. His love of Sydney. B. His parents’ dream. C. His upbringing on the farm. D. His connection with his sister. 6. How can we describe Marcus’s work at the station? A. Socially engaging. B. Culturally enriching. C. Financially rewarding. D. Physically demanding. 7. What is the last paragraph mainly about? A. Marcus’s efforts and failure. B. Marcus’s ambition and realism. C. Marcus’s dilemma and response. D. Marcus’s generosity and honesty. C Listen carefully to a spoken conversation and you’ll notice that the speakers use a lot of such interjections-mm-hmm, um, huh? and the like-that don’t convey any information about the topic of the conversation itself. For many decades, linguists (语言学家) regarded such utterances as largely irrelevant noise. But recent research suggests they are essential tools for communication, helping regulate conversation flow and establish understanding between each other. “Here is this phenomenon that is obvious but barely noticed.” says Mark Dingemanse, a linguist at Radboud University in the Netherlands. “The research turns out to upend our previous idea about it.” He hightlights that interjections serve as “traffic signals” for interaction. For example, an um or uh from the speaker signals that they’re about to pause, but aren’t finished speaking. A quick huh ? or what? from the listener, on the other hand, can signal a failure of communication that the speaker needs to repair. Interjection also serve as “continuers,” such as mm-hmm, which signals active listening and encourages the speaker to proceed. Because mm-hmm in made with a closed mouth, it’s clear that the signaler does not intend to speak. “Continuers matter to a conversation,” says Dingemanse. In one classic experiment, 34 students listened as another volunteer told them a story. Some gave the usual “I’m listening” signals, while others-who had been instructed to count the number of words beginning with the letter t-ware too distracted to do so. The lack of normal signals from the listeners led to stories that were less well crafted. “That shows that these little words are quite consequential,” says Dingemanse. And interjections also provide a window into interpersonal relationships. “These little markers say so much about what you think.” says Dingemanse. For example, “Do you want to go out for dinner?” is an invitation, and “Oh, so now you want to go out for dinner?” implies disagreement, doubt or a teasing tone. These little words go right to the heart of language and what it is for. “Language exists because we need to interact with one another” says Börstell. 8. What did the linguists think of the words like mm-hmm, um, huh? ? A They were speakers’ habits. B. They were meaningless fillers. C. They were difficult to understand. D. They were irrelevant to each other. 9. What does the underlined word “upend” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Support. B. Explain. C. Simplify. D. Challenge. 10. What does the experiment prove? A. Listeners take interjections seriously. B. The storyteller prefers to use interjections. C. A smooth conversation rejects interjections. D. Absence of interjections weakens communication. 11. What can we infer from paragraph 5? A. Interjections convey attitudes. B. Interjections are difficult to use. C. Interjections cause problems. D. Interjections are grammatically necessary. D A few weeks ago I bought two sunflowers. After giving them the water they had clearly missed in the shop, I started reflecting on how closely plant care and philosophy are connected. The two, I realized, share more than meets the eye. You care for plants, and enjoy the life that develops thanks to your care, but the process is never finished. It continues until the plant completes its life cycle and then starts all over again. Philosophy works in the same way: new ideas, insights and perspectives are constantly emerging from the care taken with existing ideas. So just as plants grow and bloom, philosophical thinking is an ongoing process of becoming which never really reaches an end point. But it is precisely this constant thinking that keeps us focused and stimulates our creativity. Philosophical thinking, like caring for plants, also has its own pace and requires patience. While we think, little seems to be happening. The thinker seems to lose himself in reasoning. In this he is like the gardener who also plays a largely passive role between sowing and harvesting. The gardener can do little but wait, observe-and perhaps attend to his own thoughts. His strong urge for activity does not help him. As Martin Heidegger's philosophy suggests, true waiting is without expectation, an attitude of openness to Being itself. Furthermore, both gardening and philosophy are far from useful in the traditional understanding of the word. There’s little immediate economic benefit in watering house plants. The same goes for philosophy: there is no visible productivity associated with it-unless, like me, you suffer from a case of “obsessive (痴迷的) book buying disorder”, which might have some economic value. This simple moment in the garden reveals a fundamental insight: nurturing (养护) plants is an exploration of pure existence! Moreover, the form of plant reality is constantly changing, in a constant cycle of growth, flowering, and decay (腐烂) . Yet behind this constant process of becoming, there may also be a permanent being. We also find this tension between becoming and being in philosophy. So even watering plants raises more questions than you might think. But isn't questioning precisely the nature of both philosophy, and life itself? 12. Why does the author compare plant care with philosophy? A. They aim for precise results. B. They involve ongoing process. C. They require regular reflection. D. They meet constant challenges. 13. What does the metaphor of the gardener tell us? A. Hard work pays off. B. You harvest what you expect. C. Nature has its own course. D. Experience is the best teacher. 14 How does the author sound when talking about his book buying habit? A. Humorous. B. Critical. C. Guilty. D. Hopeful. 15. What does the author suggest readers should do? A. Ask more questions. B. Grow more houseplants. C. Find clear answers about life. D. Teach others about philosophy. 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。 What’s the first image that comes to mind when you think of conflict? Shouting? Sarcasm (嘲讽) ? Someone storming off? People avoiding each other? ___16___ A family is discussing where to go for their summer vacation. If everyone’s opinion is heard and considered, a middle ground can be found, activities can be planned, and everyone can enjoy the vacation. ___17___ Some suggest going to a movie, while others want to grab dinner at a new restaurant. Each idea is discussed, and they make sure everyone feels included and has a fun night. Many people might think that “productive conflict” doesn’t make sense. But when everyone focuses on the best outcome for the family, or group, conflict can be engaging. ___18___ The key is that all parties enter the conversation with a common goal in mind, and everyone is concerned about reaching the best decision and outcome for everyone. Egos (自我) and personal agendas need to be set aside. Some may say, “Who, me? I don’t have an ego! ” ___19___ It is used to refer to a person’s sense of “self”. It’s about their thoughts and feelings, including their self-respect and sense of self-importance. ___20___ Some reflection on our own reactions when conflicts arise can help. Are my thoughts productive or are they harmful and causing conflict? If my thoughts are harmful and are causing me to argue or to dig in deeper, I need to pause and reflect on my reaction. I probably need to listen with an open mind and encourage their input. Learning to deal with conflict productively isn’t always easy, but the rewards can be great. A. It never hurts you. B. Everyone has an ego. C. You have to choose one. D. So how do we set our ego aside? E. Actually, it doesn’t have to be a bad thing. F. A group is deciding how to spend the evening. G. It can lead to thoughtful discussions and positive results. 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。 Three months into my Ph. D. program in the U. S. , having come from Nigeria, I confidently explained tissue images in a histology (组织学) class — but my group members just ignored my answers.

That experience crushed my confidence. I began ___24___ in group discussions, afraid of being rejected again. By the end of my first year, I felt ___25___ by my own voice. Yet beneath the unfading doubt, a quiet desire stirred — I ___26___ to engage fully and see my ideas valued. I decided to regain control - not by changing who I was, but by adjusting ___27___ I communicated. I began to slow down, pace my speech, and speak more clearly. Slowly, these ___28___ helped me engage better with others. In a writing class, I ___29___ spoke up with suggestions to improve a proposal. My colleagues’ positive response confirmed that my ideas ____30____, regardless of my accent. This ____31____ was not just about how I sounded-it was about rebuilding trust in my own knowledge. Over time, I stopped seeing my accent as a ____32____ and owned it as part of my identity. By the time I searched for a new position, I no longer ____33____ accepted what was offered.

My choices were either to immediately go out and face them or to do it the coward’s (懦夫) way and stay where I was. I chose the coward’s way. One girl said, “Did you see what she was wearing, Liz? Those clothes had to come from one of those awful discount stores.” Liz laughed. “She is a foster (寄养) kid. Come on, I don’t want to be late,” she said. I waited until they were gone before I came out. I looked down at my skirt from a discount store. I thought about the hours spent baby-sitting in order to earn the money to buy it. I was the new girl coming into the class, and it seemed everyone already knew I lived in a foster home. I ran out and rushed to the classroom. Mr. Stanford started to talk, and then I really panicked. Each student in the entire school was to write and present a five-minute speech for English class. One winner would be chosen from each class for the school final. Mr. Stanford asked us to give our own topic by next week. I had always done well in school, although I’d had to change schools. Teachers always told me I could easily make high honors if I would only participate more actively, but how could I speak up in class when I knew my voice would shake? Ever since I was a little girl I had lived with the uncertainty. With school over, I headed to my personal advisor’s office. When someone was placed in a foster home, emotional support had to follow. JoAnne, my advisor, really did seem to care. 注意： 1. 续写词数应150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 I told JoAnne about the girls’ unkind words and the speech assignment. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The next day I gave Mr. Stanford a paper with my topic written on it. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 唐山市2025年普通高等学校招生统一考试第二次模拟演练 英语 本试卷共12页，满分150分。考试时长120分钟。 注意事项： 1. 答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、考生号、考场号、座位号填写在答题卡上。 2. 回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上，写在本试卷上无效。 3. 考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 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.

In this experiment, you’ll use food to see if you can create a model bird migration.(鸟类迁徙的原因各不相同，它们经常长途跋涉寻找食物和更好的生活条件。在这个实验中，你将使用食物来观察是否能创建一个鸟类迁徙的模型)”可知，文章主要介绍的是一个关于鸟类迁徙的科学实验，包括实验的目的、过程、数据记录和分析方法。故选D。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Doing the Experiment部分“Position two bird feeders 20 feet apart, each inside a marked circle.(将两个喂鸟器相距20英尺放置，每个喂鸟器都放在一个标记的圆圈内)”可知，做实验时，喂鸟器之间的距离是20英尺。故选C。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。根据Doing the Experiment部分“Repeat the process until bird feeder #1 runs out of bread. Feeder #2 continues feeding while counts continue every 2 minutes.(重复这个过程，直到1号喂鸟器的面包用完。喂鸟器2继续喂食，同时每2分钟继续计数)”可知，表1记录的是两个喂鸟器都有面包时的情况，而表2记录的是1号喂鸟器的面包用完，只有2号喂鸟器有面包时的情况。由此可推测，当只有2号喂鸟器有面包时，更多的鸟可能会聚集在2号喂鸟器周围，因此表2中2号喂鸟器的平均值可能会高于表1中2号喂鸟器的平均值。故选A。 B Marcus was born with a rare neurological condition, which impacts his mobility. He was also found to be severely deaf and received cochlear implants (耳蜗植入) at 18 months old. At his childhood home in suburban Sydney, he lovingly tended to a collection of pets: birds, turtles, a rabbit, a lamb, and a dog. “My parents were so open to me having all these strange pets, ” Marcus recalls, his blue eyes shining with happiness. “If you name it, I’ve probably had it. ” But it was weekends spent as a child and teen working on the family farm in Mudgee that set the course of Marcus’s career. On Friday nights, he and his younger sister would sleepily climb into their parents’ car, watching Sydney fade in the mirror as they reached starry, wide-open spaces of rural Mudgee. Marcus’s parents bought the farm as an escape from the city and a place to run cattle and sheep. In the same year Marcus was born, they planted a small vineyard (葡萄园) there. As the grapevines grew and matured, so did Marcus. Despite his disabilities, or perhaps because of them, Marcus developed a tough spirit and a strong sense of optimism. These qualities served him well when he worked as a ringer (畜牧工) on a 4, 000 km2 station in the Northern Territory. He drove a hand-operated car across the land, gathering together the thousands of cattle. “The work is a bit of organised chaos. You bring in some huge herds of cattle, sometimes numbering a few thousand in a herd, stretching out over a couple of kilometres of road, ” he says. “Every thing there is on a huge scale, but I think it helped that I had some experience from my family farm back home. ” In his career, Marcus longs to be a leader in his field. He admits his goals even scare him a bit. “If it doesn’t scare you a little, you’re probably not thinking big enough, ” he explains. “But I also just make the most of every day, because you’re only going to live in this moment once. ” 4. How does Marcus feel when looking back on his suburban Sydney time? A. Regretful. B. Grateful. C. Surprised. D. Humbled. 5. What determines Marcus’s career path? A. His love of Sydney. B. His parents’ dream. C. His upbringing on the farm. D. His connection with his sister. 6. How can we describe Marcus’s work at the station? A. Socially engaging. B. Culturally enriching. C. Financially rewarding. D. Physically demanding. 7. What is the last paragraph mainly about? A. Marcus’s efforts and failure. B. Marcus’s ambition and realism. C. Marcus’s dilemma and response. D. Marcus’s generosity and honesty. 【答案】4. B 5. C 6. D 7. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了天生有神经系统疾病且严重失聪的Marcus的成长经历和职业理想。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段““My parents were so open to me having all these strange pets, ” Marcus recalls, his blue eyes shining with happiness.(“我的父母对我养这些稀奇古怪的宠物非常开明，”马库斯回忆道，他蓝色的眼睛闪烁着幸福的光芒。)”可推知，Marcus对父母的支持和开明态度感到感激。故选B。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“But it was weekends spent as a child and teen working on the family farm in Mudgee that set the course of Marcus’s career.(但正是小时候和青少年时期在Mudgee家族农场度过的周末，决定了Marcus的职业道路。)”可知，Marcus在农场的成长经历决定了他未来的职业道路。故选C。 6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第六段“These qualities served him well when he worked as a ringer on a 4, 000 km2 station in the Northern Territory. He drove a hand-operated car across the land, gathering together the thousands of cattle.(当他在北领地一个4000平方公里的车站担任畜牧工时，这些品质对他很有帮助。他开着一辆手动汽车穿越这片土地，聚集了成千上万的牛。)”可知，Marcus的工作需要驾驶手动汽车穿越广阔的土地，聚集数千头牛，这表明他的工作对体力要求很高。故选D。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段“In his career, Marcus longs to be a leader in his field. He admits his goals even scare him a bit.(在他的职业生涯中，Marcus渴望成为自己领域的领导者。他承认自己的目标甚至让他有点害怕。)”可知，Marcus有雄心壮志；并根据“But I also just make the most of every day, because you’re only going to live in this moment once.(但我也只是充分利用每一天，因为你只会活在这一刻。)”可知，Marcus也有现实主义的态度，即珍惜当下。由此可知，最后一段主要讲述了Marcus的雄心壮志和现实主义。故选B。 C Listen carefully to a spoken conversation and you’ll notice that the speakers use a lot of such interjections-mm-hmm, um, huh? and the like-that don’t convey any information about the topic of the conversation itself. For many decades, linguists (语言学家) regarded such utterances as largely irrelevant noise. But recent research suggests they are essential tools for communication, helping regulate conversation flow and establish understanding between each other. “Here is this phenomenon that is obvious but barely noticed.” says Mark Dingemanse, a linguist at Radboud University in the Netherlands. “The research turns out to upend our previous idea about it.” He hightlights that interjections serve as “traffic signals” for interaction. For example, an um or uh from the speaker signals that they’re about to pause, but aren’t finished speaking. A quick huh ? or what? from the listener, on the other hand, can signal a failure of communication that the speaker needs to repair. Interjection also serve as “continuers,” such as mm-hmm, which signals active listening and encourages the speaker to proceed. Because mm-hmm in made with a closed mouth, it’s clear that the signaler does not intend to speak. “Continuers matter to a conversation,” says Dingemanse. In one classic experiment, 34 students listened as another volunteer told them a story. Some gave the usual “I’m listening” signals, while others-who had been instructed to count the number of words beginning with the letter t-ware too distracted to do so. The lack of normal signals from the listeners led to stories that were less well crafted. “That shows that these little words are quite consequential,” says Dingemanse. And interjections also provide a window into interpersonal relationships. “These little markers say so much about what you think.” says Dingemanse. For example, “Do you want to go out for dinner?” is an invitation, and “Oh, so now you want to go out for dinner?” implies disagreement, doubt or a teasing tone. These little words go right to the heart of language and what it is for. “Language exists because we need to interact with one another,” says Börstell. 8. What did the linguists think of the words like mm-hmm, um, huh? ? A. They were speakers’ habits. B. They were meaningless fillers. C. They were difficult to understand. D. They were irrelevant to each other. 9. What does the underlined word “upend” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Support. B. Explain. C. Simplify. D. Challenge. 10. What does the experiment prove? A. Listeners take interjections seriously. B. The storyteller prefers to use interjections. C. A smooth conversation rejects interjections. D. Absence of interjections weakens communication. 11. What can we infer from paragraph 5? A. Interjections convey attitudes. B. Interjections are difficult to use. C. Interjections cause problems. D. Interjections are grammatically necessary. 【答案】8. B 9. D 10. D 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了语言学家对像 “mm - hmm, um, huh?” 等插入语的研究，过去认为它们是无意义的噪音，现在发现它们是交流的重要工具，能调节对话流程、建立相互理解，还能反映人际关系。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Listen carefully to a spoken conversation and you’ll notice that the speakers use a lot of such interjections- mm-hmm,um, huh? and the like-that don't convey any information about the topic of the conversation itself. For many decades, linguists (语言学家) regarded such utterances as largely irrelevant noise.(仔细听一段口语对话，你会注意到说话者使用了很多这样的感叹词——mm-hmm, um, huh?诸如此类的话并不能传达任何关于谈话主题本身的信息。几十年来，语言学家认为这样的话语在很大程度上是不相关的噪音)”可知，语言学家过去认为像“mm - hmm, um, huh?”这样的词是无意义的填充词。故选B。 【9题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第二段“Here is this phenomenon that is obvious but barely noticed. The research turns out to upend our previous idea about it. But recent research suggests they are essential tools for communication.(这里有一个明显但几乎未被注意到的现象。这项研究结果upend了我们之前对此的看法。但最近的研究表明它们是交流的重要工具)”可知，最近的研究表明它们是交流的重要工具，所以这项研究结果挑战改了我们之前对此的看法。“upend”意思是“颠覆，挑战”。选项D（挑战）符合语境，故选D。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“In one classic experiment, 34 students listened as another volunteer told them a story. Some gave the usual “I'm listening” signals, while others-who had been instructed to count the number of words beginning with the letter t-ware too distracted to do so. The lack of normal signals from the listeners led to stories that were less well crafted. (在一个经典实验中，34 名学生听另一名志愿者给他们讲故事。一些学生给出了通常的“我在听”的信号，而另一些被要求数以字母t开头的单词数量，学生则因分心而无法给出信号。听众发出的正常信号的缺乏，导致故事的构思不够精良)”可推知，实验证明了感叹词的缺失会削弱交流。故选D。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“For example, “Do you want to go out for dinner? ” is an invitation, and “ Oh , so now you want to go out for dinner? ” implies disagreement, doubt or a teasing tone.(例如，“你想出去吃晚餐吗？”是一个邀请，而“哦，所以现在你想出去吃晚餐了？”意味着不同意、怀疑或一种调侃的语气)”可知，感叹词能够传达态度。故选A。 D A few weeks ago I bought two sunflowers. After giving them the water they had clearly missed in the shop, I started reflecting on how closely plant care and philosophy are connected. The two, I realized, share more than meets the eye. You care for plants, and enjoy the life that develops thanks to your care, but the process is never finished. It continues until the plant completes its life cycle and then starts all over again. Philosophy works in the same way: new ideas, insights and perspectives are constantly emerging from the care taken with existing ideas. So just as plants grow and bloom, philosophical thinking is an ongoing process of becoming which never really reaches an end point. But it is precisely this constant thinking that keeps us focused and stimulates our creativity. Philosophical thinking, like caring for plants, also has its own pace and requires patience. While we think, little seems to be happening. The thinker seems to lose himself in reasoning. In this he is like the gardener who also plays a largely passive role between sowing and harvesting. The gardener can do little but wait, observe-and perhaps attend to his own thoughts. His strong urge for activity does not help him. As Martin Heidegger's philosophy suggests, true waiting is without expectation, an attitude of openness to Being itself. Furthermore, both gardening and philosophy are far from useful in the traditional understanding of the word. There’s little immediate economic benefit in watering house plants. The same goes for philosophy: there is no visible productivity associated with it-unless, like me, you suffer from a case of “obsessive (痴迷的) book buying disorder”, which might have some economic value. This simple moment in the garden reveals a fundamental insight: nurturing (养护) plants is an exploration of pure existence! Moreover, the form of plant reality is constantly changing, in a constant cycle of growth, flowering, and decay (腐烂) . Yet behind this constant process of becoming, there may also be a permanent being. We also find this tension between becoming and being in philosophy. So even watering plants raises more questions than you might think. But isn't questioning precisely the nature of both philosophy, and life itself? 12. Why does the author compare plant care with philosophy? A. They aim for precise results. B. They involve ongoing process. C. They require regular reflection. D. They meet constant challenges. 13. What does the metaphor of the gardener tell us? A. Hard work pays off. B. You harvest what you expect. C. Nature has its own course. D. Experience is the best teacher. 14. How does the author sound when talking about his book buying habit? A. Humorous. B. Critical. C. Guilty. D. Hopeful. 15. What does the author suggest readers should do? A. Ask more questions. B. Grow more houseplants. C. Find clear answers about life. D. Teach others about philosophy. 【答案】12. B 13. C 14. A 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文，作者通过自己购买并照料向日葵的经历，阐述了植物养护与哲学之间存在的紧密联系。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“You care for plants, and enjoy the life that develops thanks to your care, but the process is never finished. It continues until the plant completes its life cycle and then starts all over again. Philosophy works in the same way: new ideas, insights and perspectives are constantly emerging from the care taken with existing ideas. So just as plants grow and bloom, philosophical thinking is an ongoing process of becoming which never really reaches an end point.(你照料植物，并享受因你的照料而生长的生命，但这个过程永远不会结束。它会一直持续，直到植物完成它的生命周期，然后又重新开始。哲学也是如此：新的想法、见解和观点不断地从对现有想法的关注中涌现出来。所以，就像植物生长和开花一样，哲学思考是一个不断发展的过程，永远不会真正到达终点)”可推知，作者将植物养护与哲学作比较是因为它们都涉及持续的过程。故选B。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“The thinker seems to lose himself in reasoning. In this he is like the gardener who also plays a largely passive role between sowing and harvesting. The gardener can do little but wait, observe—and perhaps attend to his own thoughts. His strong urge for activity does not help him. As Martin Heidegger's philosophy suggests, true waiting is without expectation, an attitude of openness to Being itself.(思考者似乎在推理中迷失了自我。在这方面，他就像园丁一样，在播种和收获之间扮演着很大程度上的被动角色。园丁除了等待、观察——也许还要关注自己的思想，几乎无能为力。他强烈的行动冲动对他没有帮助。正如马丁・海德格尔的哲学所暗示的，真正的等待是没有期待的，是一种对存在本身开放的态度)” 可推知，园丁的隐喻告诉我们自然有其自身的发展过程，人类不应过度干预，而应保持耐心和开放的态度。故选C。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“The same goes for philosophy: there is no visible productivity associated with it—unless, like me, you suffer from a case of “obsessive (痴迷的) book buying disorder”, which might have some economic value.(哲学也是如此：它没有明显的生产力——除非，像我一样，你患有 “痴迷买书症”，这可能有一些经济价值)”作者把自己痴迷买书的行为戏称为 “痴迷买书症”，用一种诙谐的方式来表达，并且以一种调侃的语气说这可能有经济价值，由此可推断作者谈论自己买书习惯时听起来是幽默的。故选A。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段 “So even watering plants raises more questions than you might think. But isn't questioning precisely the nature of both philosophy, and life itself? (所以，即使是给植物浇水也会引发比你想象中更多的问题。但提问不正是哲学和生活本身的本质吗？)”可推知，作者认为提问是哲学和生活的本质，因此作者建议读者应该提出更多问题。故选A。 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。 What’s the first image that comes to mind when you think of conflict? Shouting? Sarcasm (嘲讽) ? Someone storming off? People avoiding each other? ___16___ A family is discussing where to go for their summer vacation. If everyone’s opinion is heard and considered, a middle ground can be found, activities can be planned, and everyone can enjoy the vacation. ___17___ Some suggest going to a movie, while others want to grab dinner at a new restaurant. Each idea is discussed, and they make sure everyone feels included and has a fun night. Many people might think that “productive conflict” doesn’t make sense. But when everyone focuses on the best outcome for the family, or group, conflict can be engaging. ___18___ The key is that all parties enter the conversation with a common goal in mind, and everyone is concerned about reaching the best decision and outcome for everyone. Egos (自我) and personal agendas need to be set aside. Some may say, “Who, me? I don’t have an ego! ” ___19___ It is used to refer to a person’s sense of “self”. It’s about their thoughts and feelings, including their self-respect and sense of self-importance. ___20___ Some reflection on our own reactions when conflicts arise can help. Are my thoughts productive or are they harmful and causing conflict? If my thoughts are harmful and are causing me to argue or to dig in deeper, I need to pause and reflect on my reaction. I probably need to listen with an open mind and encourage their input. Learning to deal with conflict productively isn’t always easy, but the rewards can be great. A. It never hurts you. B. Everyone has an ego. C. You have to choose one. D. So how do we set our ego aside? E. Actually, it doesn’t have to be a bad thing. F. A group is deciding how to spend the evening. G. It can lead to thoughtful discussions and positive results. 【答案】16. E 17. F 18. G 19. B 20.

My choices were either to immediately go out and face them or to do it the coward’s (懦夫) way and stay where I was. I chose the coward’s way. One girl said, “Did you see what she was wearing, Liz? Those clothes had to come from one of those awful discount stores.” Liz laughed. “She is a foster (寄养) kid. Come on, I don’t want to be late,” she said. I waited until they were gone before I came out. I looked down at my skirt from a discount store. I thought about the hours spent baby-sitting in order to earn the money to buy it. I was the new girl coming into the class, and it seemed everyone already knew I lived in a foster home. I ran out and rushed to the classroom. Mr. Stanford started to talk, and then I really panicked. Each student in the entire school was to write and present a five-minute speech for English class. One winner would be chosen from each class for the school final. Mr. Stanford asked us to give our own topic by next week. I had always done well in school, although I’d had to change schools. Teachers always told me I could easily make high honors if I would only participate more actively, but how could I speak up in class when I knew my voice would shake? Ever since I was a little girl I had lived with the uncertainty. With school over, I headed to my personal advisor’s office. When someone was placed in a foster home, emotional support had to follow. JoAnne, my advisor, really did seem to care. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 I told JoAnne about the girls’ unkind words and the speech assignment. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The next day I gave Mr. Stanford a paper with my topic written on it. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 I told JoAnne about the girls’ unkind words and the speech assignment. JoAnne listened attentively, her eyes filled with understanding. She gently said, “Those girls don’t know you. Your worth isn’t defined by your clothes or where you live. And this speech? It’s a chance to show them who you truly are.” She encouraged me to think about a topic I was passionate about and shared some tips on overcoming stage fright. Her words gave me a glimmer of hope, and I decided to face this challenge bravely. The next day I gave Mr. Stanford a paper with my topic written on it. “The Power of Resilience,” it read. I spent the whole week researching and practicing. Standing in front of the mirror, I forced my voice not to shake. When it was my turn to present, my heart pounded, but I remembered JoAnne’s words. I spoke clearly about my experiences in foster homes, the difficulties I’d overcome, and how I’d grown stronger. The class fell silent, and when I finished, there was thunderous applause. I saw the girls who’d laughed at me looking at me with newfound respect. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，主要讲述了作为寄养孩子的 “我” 进入新班级后，因穿着廉价衣服遭到同学嘲笑。面对英语课五分钟演讲的作业，内心充满怯懦与不安。之后，“我” 向个人顾问 JoAnne 倾诉烦恼，在她的鼓励下，决定勇敢面对挑战。最终，“我” 以 “韧性的力量” 为主题完成演讲，赢得了同学们的掌声与尊重，也让曾经嘲笑自己的同学刮目相看。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我告诉JoAnne那些女孩的不友好的话和演讲任务”可知，第一段可描“我” 向顾问 JoAnne 倾诉后，JoAnne 对 “我” 的安慰、鼓励以及给予的建议，“我” 在她的影响下心态发生转变，决定勇敢面对演讲挑战. ②由第二段首句内容“第二天，我给Stanford先生写了一篇论文，上面写着我的主题。”可知，第二段可描写“我” 确定演讲主题后，为演讲所做的准备工作，以及在课堂上进行演讲时的表现，还有演讲结束后同学们的反应，特别是曾经嘲笑 “我” 的同学的态度变化。。 2.续写线索：倾诉困境——获得鼓励与建议——决定勇敢面对——确定演讲主题——积极准备演讲——课堂演讲——收获掌声与尊重 3.词汇激活 行为类： ① 决定：decide/determine ② 鼓励：encourage /inspire ③ 克服：overcome /get over 情绪类： ①充满热情的： passionate/enthusiastic ② 勇敢面对挑战：face this challenge bravely /face this challenge courageously 【点睛】【高分句型 1】JoAnne listened attentively, her eyes filled with understanding.（运用了独立主格结构 ） 【高分句型 2】I spoke clearly about my experiences in foster homes, the difficulties I’d overcome, and how I’d grown stronger.（运用了省略 that 的定语从句 ） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
