Hopeless and helpless, he turned to look at Lily and told her the bet between him and Huck. “I am eager to revise math, but I don't know where to start and how to do”, he sighed. “Don't worry. I will help you with the exam.” Lily comforted him. The following days, Marc worked very hard. Every time he wanted to give up, he would think of the bet. Having prepared for the exam for a few days, his confidence grew and he could solve the math problems easily. On the day of the exam, Marc went to school with great confidence. He met Huck in the classroom, who looked delighted, as if he was bound to win. The exam started and Marc answered all the questions carefully. Several days later, the result came out. A strong sense of excitement overwhelmed Marc as he knew he beat Huck with a high mark. Relieved and delighted, he called his sister immediately, expressing his joy and gratitude.

On receiving it, I jumped on my bike, headed to Wimbledon Common and took photos, just for me: photos of trees and wildlife. I was out all day. On my way home I spotted a tree lit up by street lighting and tried to capture its beauty. Rushing home, I put the spent film in a special little envelope and sent it off to a photography store, desperate to see how it would come out. I took many photos then and loved the fact that when you processed your film you got back color photos which froze the precious moments, gently encouraging the hobby and the payments for processing. As I grew into adulthood, that simple, deep happiness gradually faded away. One weekend when I was busy answering the work calls, my eyes caught a box in the corner of the room. I suddenly felt a sense of sadness. The stress growing over these years had pushed the camera from beside my pillow to the box in the corner. I thought I needed a change. I took out the camera and dusted it down. It was a great joy that it still worked. I bought new film and took the camera everywhere I went. Now it is always on hand to accompany me on journeys, to allow me time to myself. Even if the day is full and busy, I can seize some moments for myself to take photos, to observe the world around me. The wall of my room now holds all my camera equipment on display, along with photos I ’ve taken. To me, the room represents how I’ve found happiness: by reconnecting to the younger part of myself I laid aside, by allowing room in my life for pleasure to exist, and by creating an environment that allows opportunities for delight. 24. What did the author think of taking photos as a young boy? A. Inspiring and practical. B. Tiring yet delightful. C. Exciting and worthwhile. D. Difficult yet engaging. 25. Why did the author stop taking photos according to paragraph 2? A. He wanted to focus on his work. B. He was struck by sudden sorrow. C. He attempted to behave like an adult. D. He was faced with increasing pressure. 26. What did the author get from picking up his hobby? A. More fun in the daily routine. B. New journeys in the wild. C. Better skills of observation. D. Different styles of photography. 27. What is the best title for the text? A. Revisiting Lost Childhood Memories B. Appreciating Beauty in Daily Life C. Escaping Teenage Sadness with Camera D. Regaining Pleasure Through Photography 内江六中高一年级，英语学科试卷，第 5页（共 10 页） C If you ever wondered what your child’s drawings might reveal, keep on reading. Imagine how you would feel when looking at Earth from outer space. That feeling of awe (敬 畏) is what we call the Overview Effect, a feeling most astronauts report when they return to Earth, described as a transformative experience that changes their view of our planet and humanity— an experience that builds a sense of unity, interconnectedness, and responsibility for Earth’s well - being. Recently, 40,000 children experienced a virtual reality (VR) space journey, beco ming a unique group to experience this awesome feeling without leaving Earth. To find out whether they had experienced the Overview Effect, we asked 100 children from this special group to draw self- images before and after the VR journey. In previous studies on adults, we found after viewing a video to bring about the Overview Effect, participants tended to draw a smaller self. Obviously, going through the experience of awe and wonder makes one feel smaller, with a smaller drawing as the result. However, when we applied this method to children, we encountered unexpected results. The size of their drawings remained unchanged after the VR experience. This discrepancy led us to question: Were drawings by children simply not a good way to measure the Overview Effect? Did what worked for adults simply not work for children? Upon closer analysis, we discovered that the key to measuring transformative experiences in children lies not in the size of their drawings but in the richness of their content. Before the VR journey, the children’s drawings were simple, often showing familiar elements from their daily lives. After the journey, their drawings became far more insightful, filled with vivid descriptions showing what they had learned during the VR journey — for example, the Earth’s ecology. This discovery gave us a new way to understand children’s responses to transformative experiences. I’m not suggesting that we replace tests in schools with children’s drawings. But when it comes to transformative experiences, I’d recommend paying more attention to what children actually draw. 28. How can we describe the Overview Effect? A. It expresses man’s view of Earth and humanity. B. It helps people get deeper insights into the world. C. It brings about awesome feelings of the outer space. D. It is a transformative experience unique to astronauts. 29. What does the underlined word “discrepancy” mean in paragraph 3? A. Problem. B. Progress. C. Doubt. D. Difference. 30. How did the children’s drawings change after the VR journey? A. The self-image became larger. B. They described more details. C. There were more familiar elements. D. They expressed richer emotions. 31. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text? A. To suggest a way of measuring children’s learning. B. To compare adults’ and children’s Overview Effect. C. To describe the psychological experience of space travels. D. To analyze the role of VR technology in child education. 内江六中高一年级，英语学科试卷，第 6页（共 10 页） D Each year, the world loses about 10 million hectares of forest — an area about the size of Iceland because of cutting down trees. At that rate, some scientists predict the world’s forests could disappear in 100 to 200 years. To handle it, now researchers at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have pioneered a technique to generate wood- like plant materials in a lab. This makes it possible to “grow” a wooden product without cutting down trees. In the lab, the researchers first take cells from the leaves of a young plant. These cells are cultured in liquid medium for two days, then moved to another medium which contains nutrients and two different hormones (激素). By adjusting the hormone levels, the researchers can adjust the physical and mechanical qualities of the cells. Next, the researchers use a 3D printer to shape the cell-based material, and let the shaped material grow in the dark for three months. Finally, the researchers dehydrate (使脱水) the material, and then evaluate its qualities. They found that lower hormone levels lead to plant materials with more rounded, open cells of lower density (密度), while higher hormone levels contribute to the growth of plant materials with smaller but denser cell structures. Lower or higher density of cell structures makes the plant materials softer or harder, helping the materials grow with different wood- like characteristics. What’s more, it’s to be noted that the research process is about 100 times faster than the time it takes for a tree to grow up! Research of this kind is ground-breaking. “This work demonstrates the great power of a technology,” says lead researcher, Jeffrey Berenstain. “The real opportunity here is to be at its best with what you use and how you use it. This technology can be used to meet the requirements you give about shapes, sizes, rigidity, and forms. It enables us to ‘grow’ any wooden product in a way that traditional agricultural methods can’t achieve.” 32. Why do researchers at MIT conduct the research? A. To grow more trees. B. To protect plant diversity. C. To reduce tree losses. D. To predict forest disappearance. 33. What does paragraph 2 mainly tell us about the lab research? A. Its theoretical basis. B. Its key process. C. Its scientific evidence. D. Its usual difficulties. 34. What does the finding suggest about the plant materials? A. The hormone levels affect their hardness. B. They are better than naturally grown plants. C. Their cells shapes mainly rely on their density. D. Their growth speed determines their characteristics. 35. Why is the research ground-breaking according to Berenstain? A. It innovates the way to make wooden products. B. It uses new biological materials in lab experiments. C. It challenges traditional scientific theories in forestry. D. It has a significant impact on worldwide plant growth. 内江六中高一年级，英语学科试卷，第 7页（共 10 页） 第二节 （共5小题，每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余 选项。 How to Find Your Purpose in Life Many people are living life without knowing what they want out of life. They live life not for themselves, but because of work and survival needs. When you are not living a purposeful life and you have no idea what you are meant to do in this world, you will feel lost. 36 One of the easiest ways is to listen to what life is telling you. To discover your life, you must learn to listen to it. 37 The better you understand yourself, the more you can align (使一致) your purpose and live a meaningful life. Another method is through exploration and discovery. 38 And this is why most people are not living their life’s purpose. It doesn’t matter if you try out something and fail in it. What matters most is that you try out new things to see if they are what you are looking for. Sometimes, to find your purpose in life, you need to start with your strengths. 39 Your strengths give you a clear sign of the kind of life you might want to live. Your strengths are what drive your inner motivation. 40 If you are unclear about what makes you happy, just take a piece of paper and list down every possible activity and thing that makes you happy. Relate the things that make you happy to the purpose of your life. A. What comes easy to you? B. So how do you find your purpose in life? C. Finding and living a purposeful life is difficult. D. Find out what makes you most happy and joyful in life. E. Most people don’t dare to do things that will change their lives. F. Spend time understanding your feelings emotions, and mastering yourself. G. If you’ re good at one thing and you love doing it, then, by all means, pursue it in life. 第三部分 语言知识运用（共三节，满分 45 分） 第一节 （共 15 小题；每小题 1 分，满分 15 分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的 A、B、C 和 D 四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的 最佳选项。 I used to be proud of my daring attitude.

Everyone followed the teachers’ instructions and made preparations for it, except Marc. He just turned a deaf ear to it. He thought he would rather play football than study. His mum and dad repeated the importance of revision for exams over and over again. They told him that he should be working hard preparing for the test. But the weather was sunny and he thought he had better things to do. 内江六中高一年级，英语学科试卷，第 10页（共 10 页） “Shall we go to the park?” he said to his friend Huck one afternoon. “It’s a nice day. We could play football and kick around.” Huck shook his head. “I'm supposed to review my lessons,” he said. “I’m going home to do some math.” Marc was amazed. “You’d rather do math than play football?” “Math is important. Besides, my mum says she will buy me a mountain bike if I do well in the math exam.” “That’s crazy”, said Marc. Huck shrugged(耸肩) and replied, “Wait until I beat you in the test and you will watch me riding past on my mountain bike!” “You won’t beat me,” said Marc. “Oh yes, I will.” “Oh no, you won’t! That will never happen. Just wait and see!” For the first time ever, Marc wanted to perform well. He couldn’t bear it if his friend came top and he did badly. So when he got home, he opened his math book. But there was so much to do. All of a sudden, he felt like he’d forgotten everything he had learned that year! He didn’t know where to start. When his sister Lily came in, he was sitting expressionlessly by the desk, just staring out of the window. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为 150 左右; 2. 请按如下格式作答。 “You don’t look happy, Marc.
