The history of Zozobra Artist William Howard “Will” Shuster Jr. created the first Zozobra in 1924 as the signature highlight of a private party for Los Cinco Pintores, a group of artists and writers who made their way to New Mexico in the 1920s. Shuster drew inspiration from Mexico’s Yaqui Indians and their traditions, where an effigy (塑像) is led around the village on a donkey (驴) and then set alight. The painter named his 6-foot-tall effigy Zozobra, a Spanish word meaning “pain” or “anxiety”. Celebrating a century-old tradition “Zozobra is a tradition here,” says New Mexico History Museum Curator Hannah Abelbeck. “Zozobra wouldn’t exist unless Santa Fe cared about it and invested in it.” To celebrate the festival’s birthday, Abelbeck’s museum, located in downtown Santa Fe, has opened a new, two-year-long exhibition (展览) that explores Zozobra’s history and cultural influences. Putting fears into the fire As always in the weeks before Zozobra’s burning, people dutifully write down their fears and anxieties on pieces of paper and drop them into boxes. These are collected and their contents filled inside the effigy, adding additional fuel for the fire. A crowd of 75,000 people is expected to come to Fort Marcy, a local park that’s a five-minute drive from Santa Fe’s Central Plaza, to see the impressive view. As night falls, the dancing Fire Spirit appears and then lights the effigy in the hope of putting people’s fears into the fire. 1. What inspired Shuster to create the Zozobra Festival? A. Celebrations in his hometown. B. Eye-catching artworks by his friends. C. Well-designed language training courses. D. Traditions in the Yaqui Indian communities. 2. Why does New Mexico History Museum host the great exhibition? A. To explore the history of Mexico. B. To show the changes the state has seen. C. To mark the birthday of Zozobra. D. To honor writers from around the world. 3. What do people hope to do by burning the effigy? A. Welcome the New Year. B. Destroy worrisome feelings. C. Face hardships fearlessly. D. Be careful about possible fires. B In the past two years, tennis has made its way into homes in an unexpected way. Belgian eco-designer Mathilde Wittock is turning wasted tennis balls into custom-made furniture(家具).She creates modern chairs and benches, using tennis balls as cushions(垫子).A chair might contain 500 balls, while her benches use around 270, combining style with comfort. “It takes around 24 different manufacturing steps to make a tennis ball, which is around five days. Then it has such a short life,” said Wittock. “I was looking into tennis balls because I played tennis myself, so I know there is a lot of waste.” Around 300 million tennis balls are produced every year, and nearly all end up in landfills, where they take more than 400 years to decompose. Major events like the US Open use around 70,000 balls each year, with Wimbledon using about 55,000．The lifecycle of a ball stands at just nine games, depending on the level of tennis being played. Wittock started to see the design possibilities of the sporting equipment when she was studying at Central Saint Martins art school in London. “I was really interested in eco-design and where I sourced my material,” she said. “And I realized that it was always very difficult to follow the history of materials. You never know where they come from, or how they’ve been processed. I got really angry at that.” To create her furniture Wittock cuts each tennis ball by hand, choosing colors to match her customers’ homes. It takes her about three to four weeks to make one chair. For Wittock, the key to eco-design is circularity—ensuring that materials can be reused or recycled. When her furniture reaches the end of its life, the tennis balls are carefully taken apart, and the rubber(橡胶)recycled into playground mats. 4. What is special about the furniture created by Wittock? A. It is made of tennis balls. B. It has a traditional style. C. It fits all people’s homes. D. It is reasonably priced 5. How many tennis balls are used at Wimbledon each year? A. About 400. B. About 500. C. About 55,000. D. About 70,000. 6. Which is Wittock’s requirement for the materials used in furniture? A. She can know where they are produced. B. They are cheap at the market. C. She can process them in a local factory. D. They come from the same place. 7. What can we know about Wittock’s furniture? A. It is designed by athletes. B. It is environment-friendly. C. It benefits all sports fans. D. It features a very short life. C Florence, a historic city in Italy known for its Renaissance art and architecture, is taking action to cut overtourism. The city has introduced new measures, including banning (禁用) key boxes used by short-term rental landlords and restricting the use of loudspeakers by tour guides. These steps come after complaints (投诉) from the locals, who are struggling with the growing number of tourists. Florence, located in Tuscany, has long been a popular destination for travelers. However, in recent years, the number of visitors has sharply increased, putting pressure on the city’s housing market and its residents. Many people have been forced out due to rising living costs. To address these issues, the city’s government has approved (批准) a 10-point plan to reduce the impact of tourism. One of the key actions is to ban key boxes — combination-protected lockboxes used by landlords for easy check-ins. These were used in the city’s UNESCO-listed historic center, home to famous works by artists such as Botticelli, Michelangelo and Giotto. The plan also targets the use of “atypical vehicles”, like golf carts, which tour guides use to show visitors around the city in areas where cars are not allowed. The use of loudspeakers by tour guides will also be banned in these areas. These changes are part of an effort to make Florence a living and unique city for both the locals and tourists. The city council noted that there has been a sharp rise in the number of tourists, with more than 7.8 million visitors in just the first nine months of 2024． Florence is the latest of several destinations to introduce measures to cut mass tourism. Last week, the archaeological site of Pompeii said it would be capping daily visitors at 20,000 and requiring personalized tickets. However Italy’s Tourism Minister Daniela Santanche suggested that overtourism in Italy is caused by poor management, and instead of cutting mass tourism, the country should focus on improving the experience for visitors. 8. What can we learn about Florence according to the text? A. It stops the use of loudspeakers. B. It plans to lift the ban in two weeks. C. It has long been a draw for visitors. D. It turns a blind eye to the complaints. 9. Why does Florence introduce the new measures? A. To build a livable city. B. To cut the cost of the trade. C. To attract more tourists. D. To better control air traffic. 10. What does the underlined word “capping” in paragraph 6mean? A. Increasing. B. Inspiring. C. Watching. D. Limiting. 11 What did Santanche want to say about overtourism in Italy? A. It lies in the rapid growth of a city. B. It is a product of mismanagement. C. It can be solved by the new efforts. D. It is caused by ill-mannered visitors. D Learning to play a musical instrument can be more than just an enjoyable hobby. Whether it’s playing the piano, taking some guitar lessons, joining your school band, or starting a rock group, playing a musical instrument may help improve your mind. If people wonder what you’re up to, tell them you’re doing something important. You may be making yourself a little bit smarter. A new study shows that young children who learn to sing or play a musical instrument might have a slight advantage over those who don’t take music lessons. The study focused on 132 first graders in Canada. The researchers from the University of Toronto at Mississauga, randomly (随机) put the students into three groups. One group took weekly lessons with instruments, such as violin and piano. The second group took singing lessons. The third group went to drama class. All the participants (参与者) took IQ tests at the beginning and at the end of the first grade. Overall, average scores went up for all groups. But kids who took piano or violin lessons scored higher marks. Their IQ scores went up 7.0 points on average, compared with 4.3 points for kids in the other two groups. The difference may seem small, and the music students probably won’t end up getting higher grades or having greater success later in life. Even so, the researchers believe the results are still meaningful. Playing a musical instrument requires kids to pay more attention and memorize things. The process of reading music and mastering finger placement is connected with fine motor skills and even better hand eye coordination (协调) .These types of experiences may have positive effects on the developing brains of young people So, why not pick up an instrument like a guitar or violin? It’s a great way to improve yourself and bring more music into the world. After all, who wouldn’t want to make the world sound better? 12. What happened to the first group of students at the end of the first grade? A. They disliked other after-school activities. B. They fell in love with musical instruments. C. They scored higher marks in the music test. D. They had a bigger increase in their IQ scores. 13. What can we infer from paragraph 5? A. The music students are sure to achieve success. B. It is a must for students to practice coordination. C Playing music is a powerful tool for brain development. D. The result of the experiment makes little sense in real life. 14. What is the author’s opinion about picking up a musical instrument? A. It is worthwhile. B. It shows one’s character. C. It takes much time. D. It is popular on campus 15. What is the text mainly about? A. Singing lessons. B. A scientific study. C. College students. D. A training program 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。 Walking has been recognized as a great form of exercise that’s easy and accessible for many people, and scores of studies show the popular activity has numerous health benefits, too. However, a daily walk won’t result in a healthy body, according to Melissa Boyd, a certified personal trainer and coach.____16____.

I work as a jewelry appraiser (珠宝鉴定师) in a reputable company. One morning, my boss, Mr. Carter, asked me to appraise a collection of family jewelry for a local client, Mrs. Miller. The box was filled with jewelry, each piece more valuable than the last. As I carefully examined a shining diamond ring, I accidentally dropped it from the table, and it disappeared under the desks. Frightened, I searched madly under the desks and around the room. I knew how important this ring was; it had been passed down through generations. After hours of searching, I failed to find it. Over the next few days, I searched every inch of the office, but the ring remained missing. The situation grew more stressful with each passing day. With no other choice, I decided to talk to Mr. Carter about the whole situation. “Losing such a valuable item is serious, but we’ll solve this together. We need to tell Mrs. Miller about it and consider all possible ways to pay compensation (赔偿),” said Mr. Carter. That afternoon, Mr. Carter and I met with Mrs. Miller. I could barely meet her eyes as Mr. Carter explained the situation. To my surprise, Mrs. Miller was calmer than I expected, “It’s painful to lose something so valuable, but I appreciate your honesty. I trust you will do everything in your power to solve the problem.” Relieved (宽心的) by her understanding but still deeply troubled, I continued my search. I also started to consider other ways to compensate for the loss. I researched similar rings, hoping to find a comparable replacement or a suitable solution. After weeks of tireless searching, I finally received a call from a local jewelry store. A ring matching the description of the lost one had been found. It seemed almost too good to be true, but I arranged to view the ring immediately. 注意：1.续写词数应为150个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 When I saw the ring, which was an exact match, my heart raced. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Mrs. Miller’s words offered comfort to my troubled mind. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 普集高中2024—2025学年度第二学期高一年级期中考试英语试题 高一英语 考生注意： 1．本试卷分选择题和非选择题两部分。满分150分，考试时间120分钟。 2．答题前，考生务必用直径0.5毫米黑色墨水签字笔将密封线内项目填写清楚。 3．考生作答时，请将答案答在答题卡上。选择题每小题选出答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑；非选择题请用直径0.5毫米黑色墨水签字笔在答题卡上各题的答题区域内作答，超出答题区域书写的答案无效，在试题卷、草稿纸上作答无效。 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。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．Why does the woman come to the man?

To honor writers from around the world. 3. What do people hope to do by burning the effigy? A. Welcome the New Year. B. Destroy worrisome feelings. C. Face hardships fearlessly. D. Be careful about possible fires. 【答案】1. D 2. C 3. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了美国新墨西哥州圣达菲（Santa Fe）每年8月30日前后举办的佐佐布拉节，人们焚烧代表邪恶的纸偶，以驱赶焦虑和忧愁。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段第二句“Shuster drew inspiration from Mexico’s Yaqui Indians and their traditions, where an effigy (塑像) is led around the village on a donkey (驴) and then set alight.(舒斯特的灵感来自墨西哥的雅基印第安人及其传统，在那里，一个塑像被放在驴子上绕着村子走，然后被点燃)”可知，Shuster的灵感来源于雅基印第安社区的传统，所以是雅基印第安社区的传统激发了舒斯特创造佐佐布拉节。故选D。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段第二句“To celebrate the festival’s birthday, Abelbeck’s museum, located in downtown Santa Fe, has opened a new, two-year-long exhibition (展览) that explores Zozobra’s history and cultural influences.(为了庆祝这个节日的生日，位于圣达菲市中心的阿贝尔贝克博物馆开设了一个为期两年的新展览，探索佐佐布拉的历史和文化影响)”可知，新墨西哥历史博物馆举办这个展览是为了纪念佐佐布拉节的生日。故选C。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“As always in the weeks before Zozobra’s burning, people dutifully write down their fears and anxieties on pieces of paper and drop them into boxes. These are collected and their contents filled inside the effigy, adding additional fuel for the fire. A crowd of 75,000 people is expected to come to Fort Marcy, a local park that’s a five-minute drive from Santa Fe’s Central Plaza, to see the impressive view. As night falls, the dancing Fire Spirit appears and then lights the effigy in the hope of putting people’s fears into the fire.(和往常一样，在佐佐布拉被焚烧前的几周里，人们尽职尽责地把他们的恐惧和焦虑写在纸上，然后扔进盒子里。这些纸条被收集起来，里面的内容被塞进塑像里，为火焰增添了更多的燃料。预计将有75000人来到距离圣达菲中央广场五分钟车程的当地公园马西堡，欣赏令人印象深刻的景色。 当夜幕降临，舞动的火之精灵出现，然后点燃塑像，希望把人们的恐惧投入火中)”可知，人们把恐惧和焦虑写在纸上塞进塑像，然后焚烧塑像，是希望借此消除令人担忧的感觉。故选B。 B In the past two years, tennis has made its way into homes in an unexpected way. Belgian eco-designer Mathilde Wittock is turning wasted tennis balls into custom-made furniture(家具).She creates modern chairs and benches, using tennis balls as cushions(垫子).A chair might contain 500 balls, while her benches use around 270, combining style with comfort. “It takes around 24 different manufacturing steps to make a tennis ball, which is around five days. Then it has such a short life,” said Wittock. “I was looking into tennis balls because I played tennis myself, so I know there is a lot of waste.” Around 300 million tennis balls are produced every year, and nearly all end up in landfills, where they take more than 400 years to decompose. Major events like the US Open use around 70,000 balls each year, with Wimbledon using about 55,000．The lifecycle of a ball stands at just nine games, depending on the level of tennis being played. Wittock started to see the design possibilities of the sporting equipment when she was studying at Central Saint Martins art school in London. “I was really interested in eco-design and where I sourced my material,” she said. “And I realized that it was always very difficult to follow the history of materials. You never know where they come from, or how they’ve been processed. I got really angry at that.” To create her furniture, Wittock cuts each tennis ball by hand, choosing colors to match her customers’ homes. It takes her about three to four weeks to make one chair. For Wittock, the key to eco-design is circularity—ensuring that materials can be reused or recycled. When her furniture reaches the end of its life, the tennis balls are carefully taken apart, and the rubber(橡胶)recycled into playground mats. 4. What is special about the furniture created by Wittock? A. It is made of tennis balls. B. It has a traditional style. C. It fits all people’s homes. D. It is reasonably priced 5. How many tennis balls are used at Wimbledon each year? A. About 400. B. About 500. C. About 55,000. D. About 70,000. 6. Which is Wittock’s requirement for the materials used in furniture? A. She can know where they are produced. B. They are cheap at the market. C. She can process them in a local factory. D. They come from the same place. 7. What can we know about Wittock’s furniture? A. It is designed by athletes. B. It is environment-friendly. C. It benefits all sports fans. D. It features a very short life. 【答案】4. A 5. C 6. A 7. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要说明了比利时生态设计师玛蒂尔德・维托克将废弃的网球制作成定制家具，包括现代椅子和长凳，用网球作为垫子。介绍了每年网球的生产及废弃情况，维托克开始这种设计的缘由，以及她制作家具的过程和对生态设计中材料的要求，强调了其家具的环保特性。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Belgian eco-designer Mathilde Wittock is turning wasted tennis balls into custom-made furniture (家具).She creates modern chairs and benches, using tennis balls as cushions (垫子).(比利时生态设计师玛蒂尔德・维托克正在把废弃的网球变成定制家具。她用网球作为垫子，制作出现代的椅子和长凳)”可知，维托克制作的家具的特别之处在于它是由网球制成的。故选A。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Major events like the US Open use around 70,000 balls each year, with Wimbledon using about 55,000.(像美国网球公开赛这样的重大赛事每年使用大约 7 万个网球，温布尔登网球锦标赛使用大约 5.5 万个)”可知，温布尔登网球锦标赛每年使用大约 5.5 万个网球。故选 C。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“And I realized that it was always very difficult to follow the history of materials. You never know where they come from, or how they’ve been processed. I got really angry at that.(我意识到追溯材料的来源总是非常困难。你永远不知道它们来自哪里，或者是如何加工的。我对此非常生气)”可知，维托克对家具所用材料的要求是她能够知道这些材料在哪里生产的，即能追溯其来源。故选 A。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“To create her furniture, Wittock cuts each tennis ball by hand, choosing colors to match her customers’ homes.(为了制作她的家具，维托克手工切割每个网球，选择与客户家相配的颜色)”以及“For Wittock, the key to eco-design is circularity—ensuring that materials can be reused or recycled. When her furniture reaches the end of its life, the tennis balls are carefully taken apart, and the rubber (橡胶) recycled into playground mats.(对维托克来说，生态设计的关键是循环性 —— 确保材料可以重复使用或回收利用。当她的家具使用寿命结束时，网球会被小心地拆开，橡胶会被回收制成操场垫子)”可推知，维托克的家具是环保的。故选B。 C Florence, a historic city in Italy known for its Renaissance art and architecture, is taking action to cut overtourism. The city has introduced new measures, including banning (禁用) key boxes used by short-term rental landlords and restricting the use of loudspeakers by tour guides. These steps come after complaints (投诉) from the locals, who are struggling with the growing number of tourists. Florence, located in Tuscany, has long been a popular destination for travelers. However, in recent years, the number of visitors has sharply increased, putting pressure on the city’s housing market and its residents. Many people have been forced out due to rising living costs. To address these issues, the city’s government has approved (批准) a 10-point plan to reduce the impact of tourism. One of the key actions is to ban key boxes — combination-protected lockboxes used by landlords for easy check-ins. These were used in the city’s UNESCO-listed historic center, home to famous works by artists such as Botticelli, Michelangelo and Giotto. The plan also targets the use of “atypical vehicles”, like golf carts, which tour guides use to show visitors around the city in areas where cars are not allowed. The use of loudspeakers by tour guides will also be banned in these areas. These changes are part of an effort to make Florence a living and unique city for both the locals and tourists. The city council noted that there has been a sharp rise in the number of tourists, with more than 7.8 million visitors in just the first nine months of 2024． Florence is the latest of several destinations to introduce measures to cut mass tourism. Last week, the archaeological site of Pompeii said it would be capping daily visitors at 20,000 and requiring personalized tickets. However, Italy’s Tourism Minister Daniela Santanche suggested that overtourism in Italy is caused by poor management, and instead of cutting mass tourism, the country should focus on improving the experience for visitors. 8 What can we learn about Florence according to the text? A. It stops the use of loudspeakers. B. It plans to lift the ban in two weeks. C. It has long been a draw for visitors. D. It turns a blind eye to the complaints. 9. Why does Florence introduce the new measures? A. To build a livable city. B. To cut the cost of the trade. C. To attract more tourists. D. To better control air traffic. 10. What does the underlined word “capping” in paragraph 6mean? A. Increasing. B. Inspiring. C. Watching. D. Limiting. 11. What did Santanche want to say about overtourism in Italy? A. It lies in the rapid growth of a city. B. It is a product of mismanagement. C. It can be solved by the new efforts. D. It is caused by ill-mannered visitors. 【答案】8. C 9. A 10. D 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。鉴于当地居民投诉游客数量激增，意大利历史文化名城佛罗伦萨正采取一系列措施解决过度旅游问题。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Florence, located in Tuscany, has long been a popular destination for travelers.(位于托斯卡纳的佛罗伦萨长期以来一直是游客们喜爱的目的地)” 可知，佛罗伦萨一直是吸引游客的地方。故选C。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“These changes are part of an effort to make Florence a living and unique city for both the locals and tourists.(这些改变是让佛罗伦萨成为一个对当地人和游客来说都适宜居住且独特的城市的努力的一部分)” 可知，佛罗伦萨出台新措施是为了建设一个宜居城市。故选A。 【10题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第六段“Last week, the archaeological site of Pompeii said it would be capping daily visitors at 20,000 and requiring personalized tickets.(上周，庞贝古城考古遗址表示将把每日游客人数…… 在 20,000 人，并要求购买个性化门票)”以及结合前文提到的佛罗伦萨采取措施减少旅游影响，可推测出这里是限制游客数量，由此可知，capping意为“限制”。故选D。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“However, Italy’s Tourism Minister Daniela Santanche suggested that overtourism in Italy is caused by poor management.(然而，意大利旅游部长丹妮拉・桑坦切表示，意大利的过度旅游是管理不善造成的)” 可知，桑坦切认为意大利的过度旅游是管理不善的结果。故选B。 D Learning to play a musical instrument can be more than just an enjoyable hobby. Whether it’s playing the piano, taking some guitar lessons, joining your school band, or starting a rock group, playing a musical instrument may help improve your mind. If people wonder what you’re up to, tell them you’re doing something important. You may be making yourself a little bit smarter. A new study shows that young children who learn to sing or play a musical instrument might have a slight advantage over those who don’t take music lessons. The study focused on 132 first graders in Canada. The researchers, from the University of Toronto at Mississauga, randomly (随机) put the students into three groups. One group took weekly lessons with instruments, such as violin and piano. The second group took singing lessons. The third group went to drama class. All the participants (参与者) took IQ tests at the beginning and at the end of the first grade. Overall, average scores went up for all groups. But kids who took piano or violin lessons scored higher marks. Their IQ scores went up 7.0 points on average, compared with 4.3 points for kids in the other two groups. The difference may seem small, and the music students probably won’t end up getting higher grades or having greater success later in life. Even so, the researchers believe the results are still meaningful. Playing a musical instrument requires kids to pay more attention and memorize things. The process of reading music and mastering finger placement is connected with fine motor skills and even better hand eye coordination (协调) .These types of experiences may have positive effects on the developing brains of young people So, why not pick up an instrument like a guitar or violin? It’s a great way to improve yourself and bring more music into the world. After all, who wouldn’t want to make the world sound better? 12. What happened to the first group of students at the end of the first grade? A. They disliked other after-school activities. B. They fell in love with musical instruments. C. They scored higher marks in the music test. D. They had a bigger increase in their IQ scores. 13. What can we infer from paragraph 5? A. The music students are sure to achieve success. B. It is a must for students to practice coordination. C. Playing music is a powerful tool for brain development. D. The result of the experiment makes little sense in real life. 14. What is the author’s opinion about picking up a musical instrument? A. It is worthwhile. B. It shows one’s character. C. It takes much time. D. It is popular on campus 15. What is the text mainly about? A. Singing lessons. B. A scientific study. C. College students. D. A training program 【答案】12. D 13. C 14. A 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。多伦多大学的一项研究表明演奏乐器有益于学生的心智发展。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“All the participants (参与者) took IQ tests at the beginning and at the end of the first grade. Overall, average scores went up for all groups. But kids who took piano or violin lessons scored higher marks. Their IQ scores went up 7.0 points on average, compared with 4.3 points for kids in the other two groups.(所有参与者在一年级开始和结束时都参加了智商测试。总体而言，所有组的平均分数都有所提高。但是上钢琴或小提琴课的孩子得分更高。他们的智商分数平均提高了7.0分，而其他两组孩子的智商分数平均提高了4.3 分。)”可知，第一组（上乐器课的组）的学生在一年级结束时，他们的智商分数有更大的提升。故选D。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“Even so, the researchers believe the results are still meaningful. Playing a musical instrument requires kids to pay more attention and memorize things. The process of reading music and mastering finger placement is connected with fine motor skills and even better hand eye coordination (协调) .These types of experiences may have positive effects on the developing brains of young people(即便如此，研究人员认为这些结果仍然是有意义的。演奏乐器需要孩子们更加专注并记住一些东西。识谱和掌握手指位置的过程与精细运动技能甚至更好的手眼协调能力相关。这些类型的经历可能对年轻人正在发育的大脑产生积极影响。)”可知，演奏音乐对于大脑的发育是一个强有力的工具。故选C。 14题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“So, why not pick up an instrument like a guitar or violin? It’s a great way to improve yourself and bring more music into the world. After all, who wouldn’t want to make the world sound better?(那么，为什么不拿起一把像吉他或小提琴这样的乐器呢？这是提升自己并为世界带来更多音乐的好方法。毕竟，谁不想让世界听起来更美好呢？)”可知，作者认为学习一种乐器是值得的，是提升自己的好方式。故选A。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文可知，文章主要围绕一项关于学习乐器对孩子影响的研究展开，介绍了研究的对象（132 名加拿大一年级学生）、分组情况（乐器组、唱歌组、戏剧组）、研究结果（学习乐器的孩子智商提升更明显）以及研究结论（演奏乐器对大脑发育有积极影响）等内容。所以文章主要是关于一项科学研究。故选B。 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。 Walking has been recognized as a great form of exercise that’s easy and accessible for many people, and scores of studies show the popular activity has numerous health benefits, too.

I work as a jewelry appraiser (珠宝鉴定师) in a reputable company. One morning, my boss, Mr. Carter, asked me to appraise a collection of family jewelry for a local client, Mrs. Miller. The box was filled with jewelry, each piece more valuable than the last. As I carefully examined a shining diamond ring, I accidentally dropped it from the table, and it disappeared under the desks. Frightened, I searched madly under the desks and around the room. I knew how important this ring was; it had been passed down through generations. After hours of searching, I failed to find it. Over the next few days, I searched every inch of the office, but the ring remained missing. The situation grew more stressful with each passing day. With no other choice, I decided to talk to Mr. Carter about the whole situation. “Losing such a valuable item is serious, but we’ll solve this together. We need to tell Mrs. Miller about it and consider all possible ways to pay compensation (赔偿),” said Mr. Carter. That afternoon, Mr. Carter and I met with Mrs. Miller. I could barely meet her eyes as Mr. Carter explained the situation. To my surprise, Mrs. Miller was calmer than I expected, “It’s painful to lose something so valuable, but I appreciate your honesty. I trust you will do everything in your power to solve the problem.” Relieved (宽心的) by her understanding but still deeply troubled, I continued my search. I also started to consider other ways to compensate for the loss. I researched similar rings, hoping to find a comparable replacement or a suitable solution. After weeks of tireless searching, I finally received a call from a local jewelry store. A ring matching the description of the lost one had been found. It seemed almost too good to be true, but I arranged to view the ring immediately. 注意：1.续写词数应为150个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 When I saw the ring, which was an exact match, my heart raced. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Mrs. Miller’s words offered comfort to my troubled mind. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 When I saw the ring, which was an exact match, my heart raced. I bought it without hesitation, relieved that this might solve the issue. I took it to a jeweler to ensure it was genuine and comparable, and then arranged a meeting with Mrs. Miller. When I presented the replacement ring to her, she examined it carefully. Her eyes softened as she looked up at me. “It’s a beautiful ring,” she said. “But what really matters to me is your honesty and the effort you put into making things right. Thank you for going above and beyond.” Mrs. Miller’s words offered comfort to my troubled mind. I had feared that no replacement could ever truly make up for the original ring, but her acknowledgment of my honesty and effort made me feel that I had done my best in the difficult situation. In the end, Mrs. Miller remained a valued client. The experience had an ever-lasting influence on me. It taught me that honesty is not just about avoiding mistakes but about owning up to them, and doing everything possible to restore trust. Being honest is the true measure of character. 【解析】 【导语】本文以丢失的钻戒为线索展开。 作者是珠宝鉴定师，鉴定时不慎弄丢客户米勒夫人的传家钻戒，疯狂寻找无果后告知老板卡特先生。卡特先生和作者向米勒夫人说明情况，她表示理解。作者继续寻找并想赔偿办法，最终接到找到戒指的电话。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段句首内容“当我看到那枚戒指时，我的心跳得飞快。”可知，此部分先描写作者看到与丢失钻戒一模一样的戒指时的激动心情，接着讲述果断买下戒指，拿去鉴定以确保品质，随后安排与米勒夫人见面并呈上戒指，以及米勒夫人对戒指的审视和她对 作者诚实与努力的肯定。 ②由第二段句首内容“米勒太太的话安慰了我烦恼的心。”可知，此部分先阐述米勒夫人的话对作者的慰藉，再表明作者原本对替代品的担忧，接着说明米勒夫人的认可让作者释怀，最后点明米勒夫人依旧是重要客户，以及此次经历对作者 产生的深远影响，升华出诚实的重要意义 。 2.续写线索：看到匹配戒指 —— 买下并鉴定戒指 —— 向米勒夫人展示戒指 —— 米勒夫人肯定作者——作者的释怀 —— 诚实意义的升华 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①购买：buy/purchase ②带某物去某地：take sth. to sp./carry sth. to sp. ③安排一个会议：arrange a meeting/schedule a meeting 情绪类 ①犹豫：hesitation/uncertainty ②害怕：fear/be afraid 【点睛】【高分句型1】When I presented the replacement ring to her, she examined it carefully.
