Henry Perkin During his childhood, Henry Perkin suffered from polio (小儿麻痹症). When he became a young man, he was also involved in an accident that worsened his problems. Throughout his entire life, he was facing serious physical issues and was in bed because of severe pain. However, he didn’t let that defeat him, and he became one of the famous artists of the 20th century. John Nash John Nash had mental disease. He mixed the line between what is real and what isn’t. His life story was given light due to the movie A Beautiful Mind.John Nash was aware of his illness but fought against it, not letting it tear him, and developed a successful academic career. He won a Nobel Prize in Economics in 1994. Andrea Bocelli Andrea Bocelli was partially blind but that didn’t stop him from taking piano lessons until he was 6 years old.Unfortunately, when he was 12 years old, he suffered a blow during a football game that completely blinded him. His blindness didn’t stop him from pursuing and focusing on singing. Harry Coover Harry Coover, at the age of 13, was a rising star surfer. However, after an attack with a 14-foot tiger shark, he, unfortunately, lost his left arm. One month after the attack, he was back on the sea and surfing to his dreams once again. After 2 years, he won his first national surfing title. He is still an active surf competitor to this day. 21. Where is this text probably taken from? A. An exam paper. B. A travel guide. C.

A. They met with a serious accident. B. Their stories were adapted for films. C. They won some kind of national prizes. D. They had to stay in bed because of the illness. B A woman who took up running after she lost her left leg due to cancer has passed the world record for most consecutive (连续的) marathons. Jacky Hunt-Broersma, 46, completed her 104th consecutive marathon in 104 days. A spokesperson said certifying the record would take around three months. “Part of me was really happy to be done,” she says. “And the other part kept thinking I need to go running.” Jacky is grateful, because running has given her the confidence she was afraid she would never regain. In 2002, doctors diagnosed her with a rare type of bone cancer. Within two weeks, they amputate (截肢) her left leg to save her life. She was only 26 years old.“It was a roller coaster,” she recalls. “Everything happened so fast.” For the first couple of years, Jacky struggled with the change in her life. She was angry that she had got cancer and embarrassed to be different. She wore long trousers in public so people would not notice her artificial leg. Out of the blue, she took up running in 2016. She had cheered her husband on at long-distance running events but had never considered doing it herself, thinking it was only “for crazy people”. Buying a special artificial leg for long-distance runners, she signed up for her very first 10 kilometers. On the eve of the race, she switched her registration to the half-marathon category — and she has not looked back since, exploring longer distances and different terrains. In fact, Jacky wishes she had started running earlier. “Running has made such a difference on my mental state and it showed me how strong my body can be. It gave me a total new acceptance of who I am and that I can do hard things.” she says. 24. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refer to? A. Cancer. B. Amputation. C. Left leg. D. Running. 25. Why did Jacky decide to run marathons? A. It could build up her body. B It could help her build confidence. C. She was encouraged by her husband. D. She was struck by a sudden thought. 26. Which of the following best describes Jacky? A. Competitive. B. Creative. C. Thoughtful. D. Determined. 27. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text? A. To share a woman’s story. B To introduce a kind of disease. C. To recommend a woman’s lifestyle. D. To highlight the importance of running. C In birds, males are often the ones having showy, colorful feathers — the better to attract females. For example, male cardinals (红雀) get bright red feathers, while females are pale brown. And the male white-necked jacobin, a tiny tropical hummingbird (蜂鸟) , has a deep blue head and lively green back, whereas females are generally drab. But not always. Researchers studying white-necked jacobins in Panama noticed that nearly 30 percent of the more than 120 females they caught between 2015 and 2019 turned out to be females that looked like males, while 2 years later over 40 percent. A study published in Current Biology explains why. It turns out that copying male coloration helps female white-necked jacobins avoid being disturbed from other hummingbirds while feeding. “The bright coloration on the bird is associated with attack;” says Jay Falk, an evolutionary ecologist. “Just looking like males seems to stop bullies (霸凌) ,” allowing females better access to honey. Falk and his colleagues also wondered if the male-lookalike female jacobins were trying to attract mates by standing out from the drab females, or if they were competing with each other for honey. Falk and his colleagues turned to their next guess: resource competition. They found that the male-copying females appeared in front of the feeders more often and spent longer time feeding than the drab females. With such benefits, why don’t all females develop bright feathers? It not only needs more energy and time to keep the feathers, but also it’s risky. Female hummingbirds are single parents, which is already energy-demanding. On top of that, “if you’re brightly colored and sitting on a brown nest in a green tree, you’re going to stand out,” Falk says. “It’s much easier to be eaten.” 28. How does the author introduce the topic? A. By proving data. B. By answering a question. C. By making comparison. D. By describing a situation. 29. What do the numbers in paragraph 2 suggest? A. Protecting jacobins is becoming urgent. B. Current Biology proves to be of great value. C. Bright-feathered female jacobins are on an increase. D. Male-lookalike female jacobins are more adaptable to the environment. 30. Why do female white-necked jacobins copy male coloration? A. To stand out to attract mates. B. To get more chances to survive. C. To compete with other hummingbirds. D. To offer more food to other hummingbirds. 31. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about? A. The disadvantages of having bright feathers. B. The significance of developing bright feathers. C. The correct methods of keeping the bright feathers. D. The environment of the bright-feathered hummingbirds. D “There’s research showing that we tend to postpone breaks when we finish what we’ve got to do” says psychology professor Claudia Hammond, whereas microbreak studies indicate that it is more beneficial to build regular downtime into a busy schedule. Neuroscientists have shown that continuous mentally taxing work can even lead to poorer decision-making, since it reduces “cognitive (认知的)control”, which is our ability to flexibly direct our thoughts and behavior in order to reach a long-term goal. In an experiment in 2022, behavioral researcher Antonius Wiehler and his colleagues asked participants to perform simple or demanding tasks on a computer for 6.5 hours. To measure the running-down of cognitive control, the computer periodically interrupted the participants to ask questions such as “Would you like $22 now or $50 in six months?” “In the morning, you’re fresh. And you know the best choice is to take the money later;” says Wiehler. But the people doing exhausting tasks increasingly chose the immediate rewards of lower value. Why would this be? Wiehler and his team showed that people who had done harder tasks had higher levels of glutamate (谷氨酸) in their prefrontal cortex than those doing easy ones. The implication was that perhaps it is the build-up of glutamate that causes a reduction in cognitive control. However, Wiehler’s study didn’t prove this. “There are many exciting questions waiting to be solved,” says Wiehler, not least concerning how brains recover and how much rest is needed to maintain or restore normal glutamate levels and cognitive control. Besides improving decision-making, regular periods of downtime may also aid effective learning. Neuroscientists have long known that memory consolidation occurs during sleep, but now studies suggest that waking rest can also help the brain’s records of what we have just learned.“If you rest for a few minutes after you learn something, your memory is better later, ” says Erin Wamsley, a psychologist. 32. What can we know from the experiment in 2022? A. Normal glutamate levels can be restored after the break. B. People doing simple tasks have better cognitive control. C. Higher levels of glutamate lead to a reduction in cognitive control. D The levels of glutamate can change according to the working intensity. 33. What is the tone of the author? A. Negative. B. Critical. C. Objective. D. Humorous. 34. What will probably be discussed next in the text? A. How to promote sleep. B. How to consolidate memory. C. How to enhance effective learning. D. How to improve decision-making. 35. Which is the most suitable title for the text? A. Glutamate Determines Memory B. Regular Downtime Brings Benefits C. Mental Work Reduces Cognitive Control D. Demanding Tasks Cause Poor Decision-Making 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。 Burnout is a form of exhaustion caused by constantly feeling overwhelmed (不知所措).

But I loved the challenge of overcoming something bigger than myself. Soon I’d climbed nearly 60 mountains. Last year, on 15 February, my friend Mel Olsen and I went to Oregon to climb 11, 240-foot Mount Hood.That day, we started at 3 a.m. It was about -10℃. Along the way, we met two other climbers, and the four of us continued on together. Before the final push to the top, my face felt as if it were burning. The other climbers decided to turn back, but Mel and I went ahead. As we went higher, it became more difficult to climb on. At around 9 a.m., we reached an ice step. It was about three or four feet tall. I volunteered to go first. I placed my left foot on the ice step. I was sure that I was safe, so I put my full weight on it. Suddenly, I heard a sound, and a whole piece of ice broke off the step, right under my foot. In a second I fell backwards. I could hear Mel calling my name as I was rolling down the mountain. After a few seconds, I found I’d fallen 50 feet. Then I took a survey of my body to see where I was hurt, starting with my head, then my neck and arms. For the most part, I was fine, except that I was suffering from a huge pain in my left leg and couldn’t move. 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。 The pain spread all over my body. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I started climbing again half a year later. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 沅澧共同体2025届高三第一次模拟考试(试题卷) 英语 时量：120分钟 满分：150分 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。 例：How much is the shirt?

However, concerned about the environmental effects of plastic bottles, Longcroft decided the company should go plastic-free. After months of experimenting at his kitchen table, he invented a new type of water bottle made from paper with a waterproof lining. When the bottle is buried or thrown in the ocean, the paper breaks down from the outside. The outside is made from recycled paper, while the inside is designed to be waterproof to keep its structure, and keep the water fresh — just like plastic, said Longcroft. The 27-year-old inventor also mentioned that the bottle can be safely eaten by sea animals. Longcroft is trying to collect $25,000 to produce the bottle. “We really want to get our bottles into people’s hands as soon as possible. If we can prevent even one plastic bottle from ending up in the environment, it will be worth it,” said Longcroft. 第二部分 阅读(共两节，满分50分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题2.5分，满分37.5分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A Here is the list of people with disabilities, who are living life to the fullest! Henry Perkin During his childhood, Henry Perkin suffered from polio (小儿麻痹症). When he became a young man, he was also involved in an accident that worsened his problems. Throughout his entire life, he was facing serious physical issues and was in bed because of severe pain. However, he didn’t let that defeat him, and he became one of the famous artists of the 20th century. John Nash John Nash had mental disease. He mixed the line between what is real and what isn’t. His life story was given light due to the movie A Beautiful Mind.John Nash was aware of his illness but fought against it, not letting it tear him, and developed a successful academic career. He won a Nobel Prize in Economics in 1994. Andrea Bocelli Andrea Bocelli was partially blind but that didn’t stop him from taking piano lessons until he was 6 years old.Unfortunately, when he was 12 years old, he suffered a blow during a football game that completely blinded him. His blindness didn’t stop him from pursuing and focusing on singing. Harry Coover Harry Coover, at the age of 13, was a rising star surfer. However, after an attack with a 14-foot tiger shark, he, unfortunately, lost his left arm. One month after the attack, he was back on the sea and surfing to his dreams once again. After 2 years, he won his first national surfing title. He is still an active surf competitor to this day. 21. Where is this text probably taken from? A. An exam paper. B. A travel guide. C.

A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。主要介绍了几位身有残疾但依然把生活过得充实的人，包括亨利・珀金、约翰・纳什、安德里亚・波切利和哈里・库弗，讲述了他们各自的经历和成就。 【21题详解】 推理判断题。根据首段“Here is the list of people with disabilities, who are living life to the fullest!(以下是一份身残志坚、活出精彩人生的人士名单！)”可知，文章主要讲述几位身有残疾却把生活过得充实的人的故事，这种内容常见于杂志中关于人物励志故事的板块。故选D项。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据Andrea Bocelli部分中的“Andrea Bocelli was partially blind but that didn’t stop him from taking piano lessons until he was 6 years old. Unfortunately, when he was 12 years old, he suffered a blow during a football game that completely blinded him. His blindness didn’t stop him from pursuing and focusing on singing.(安德里亚・波切利有部分视力障碍，但这并没有阻止他上钢琴课，直到他6岁。不幸的是，当他12岁时，他在一场足球比赛中遭受了一次打击，这使他完全失明。他的失明并没有阻止他追求并专注于唱歌。)”可知，安德里亚・波切利一生致力于音乐。故选C项。 【23题详解】 细节理解题。根据Henry Perkin部分中的“During his childhood, Henry Perkin suffered from polio (小儿麻痹症). When he became a young man, he was also involved in an accident that worsened his problems.(在他童年时期，亨利・珀金患了小儿麻痹症。当他成年后，他还遭遇了一场事故，使他的身体状况恶化。)”以及Harry Coover部分中的“Harry Coover, at the age of 13, was a rising star surfer. However, after an attack with a 14-foot tiger shark, he, unfortunately, lost his left arm.(哈里・库弗在 13 岁时是一位冉冉升起的冲浪明星。然而，在被一只14英尺长的虎鲨攻击后，他不幸失去了左臂。)”可知，亨利・珀金遭遇了事故使身体状况恶化，哈里・库弗被虎鲨攻击失去左臂，他们都遭遇了严重的事故。故选A项。 B A woman who took up running after she lost her left leg due to cancer has passed the world record for most consecutive (连续的) marathons. Jacky Hunt-Broersma, 46, completed her 104th consecutive marathon in 104 days. A spokesperson said certifying the record would take around three months. “Part of me was really happy to be done,” she says. “And the other part kept thinking I need to go running.” Jacky is grateful, because running has given her the confidence she was afraid she would never regain. In 2002, doctors diagnosed her with a rare type of bone cancer. Within two weeks, they amputate (截肢) her left leg to save her life. She was only 26 years old.“It was a roller coaster,” she recalls. “Everything happened so fast.” For the first couple of years, Jacky struggled with the change in her life. She was angry that she had got cancer and embarrassed to be different. She wore long trousers in public so people would not notice her artificial leg. Out of the blue, she took up running in 2016. She had cheered her husband on at long-distance running events but had never considered doing it herself, thinking it was only “for crazy people”. Buying a special artificial leg for long-distance runners, she signed up for her very first 10 kilometers. On the eve of the race, she switched her registration to the half-marathon category — and she has not looked back since, exploring longer distances and different terrains. In fact, Jacky wishes she had started running earlier. “Running has made such a difference on my mental state and it showed me how strong my body can be. It gave me a total new acceptance of who I am and that I can do hard things.” she says. 24. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refer to? A. Cancer. B. Amputation. C. Left leg. D. Running. 25. Why did Jacky decide to run marathons? A. It could build up her body. B. It could help her build confidence. C. She was encouraged by her husband. D. She was struck by a sudden thought. 26. Which of the following best describes Jacky? A. Competitive. B. Creative. C. Thoughtful. D. Determined. 27. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text? A. To share a woman’s story. B. To introduce a kind of disease. C. To recommend a woman’s lifestyle. D. To highlight the importance of running. 【答案】24. B 25. D 26. D 27. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述因癌截肢的Jacky坚持跑步，完成104次连续马拉松打破世界纪录，跑步助她重拾信心。 【24题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段“In 2002, doctors diagnosed her with a rare type of bone cancer. Within two weeks, they amputate (截肢) her left leg to save her life. She was only 26 years old. ‘It was a roller coaster,’ she recalls. ‘Everything happened so fast.’(2002年，医生诊断她患有一种罕见的骨癌。两周内，为了挽救她的生命，医生截肢了她的左腿。她当时只有26岁。‘这就像坐过山车，’ 她回忆道。‘一切都发生得太快了。’)”可知，这里的it指的是“截肢”这件事。故选B。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段第一句“Out of the blue, she took up running in 2016.(2016年，她突然开始跑步。)”可知，Jacky是突然有了跑步的想法才开始跑马拉松的，out of the blue， 表示“突然地”，与D选项She was struck by a sudden thought.(她被一个突然的想法所触动)意思相符。故选D。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“A woman who took up running after she lost her left leg due to cancer has passed the world record for most consecutive (连续的) marathons.(一位因癌症失去左腿后开始跑步的女性打破了连续马拉松次数最多的世界纪录。)”以及第二段“Jacky Hunt-Broersma, 46, completed her 104th consecutive marathon in 104 days.(46岁的Jacky Hunt-Broersma在104天内完成了她的第 104次连续马拉松)”可知，Jacky在失去左腿的情况下，坚持完成连续104次马拉松，展现出了坚定的决心。故选D。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“A woman who took up running after she lost her left leg due to cancer has passed the world record for most consecutive (连续的) marathons.(一位因癌症失去左腿后开始跑步的女性打破了连续马拉松次数最多的世界纪录。)”以及下文可知，文章主要讲述了Jacky因癌症失去左腿后，通过跑步重获信心，并打破连续马拉松世界纪录的故事。所以作者写这篇文章的目的是分享一位女性的故事。故选A。 C In birds, males are often the ones having showy, colorful feathers — the better to attract females. For example, male cardinals (红雀) get bright red feathers, while females are pale brown. And the male white-necked jacobin, a tiny tropical hummingbird (蜂鸟) , has a deep blue head and lively green back, whereas females are generally drab. But not always. Researchers studying white-necked jacobins in Panama noticed that nearly 30 percent of the more than 120 females they caught between 2015 and 2019 turned out to be females that looked like males, while 2 years later over 40 percent. A study published in Current Biology explains why. It turns out that copying male coloration helps female white-necked jacobins avoid being disturbed from other hummingbirds while feeding. “The bright coloration on the bird is associated with attack;” says Jay Falk, an evolutionary ecologist. “Just looking like males seems to stop bullies (霸凌) ,” allowing females better access to honey. Falk and his colleagues also wondered if the male-lookalike female jacobins were trying to attract mates by standing out from the drab females, or if they were competing with each other for honey. Falk and his colleagues turned to their next guess: resource competition. They found that the male-copying females appeared in front of the feeders more often and spent longer time feeding than the drab females. With such benefits, why don’t all females develop bright feathers? It not only needs more energy and time to keep the feathers, but also it’s risky. Female hummingbirds are single parents, which is already energy-demanding. On top of that, “if you’re brightly colored and sitting on a brown nest in a green tree, you’re going to stand out,” Falk says. “It’s much easier to be eaten.” 28. How does the author introduce the topic? A. By proving data. B. By answering a question. C By making comparison. D. By describing a situation. 29. What do the numbers in paragraph 2 suggest? A. Protecting jacobins is becoming urgent. B. Current Biology proves to be of great value. C. Bright-feathered female jacobins are on an increase. D. Male-lookalike female jacobins are more adaptable to the environment. 30. Why do female white-necked jacobins copy male coloration? A. To stand out to attract mates. B. To get more chances to survive. C. To compete with other hummingbirds. D. To offer more food to other hummingbirds. 31. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about? A. The disadvantages of having bright feathers. B. The significance of developing bright feathers. C. The correct methods of keeping the bright feathers. D. The environment of the bright-feathered hummingbirds. 【答案】28. C 29. C 30. B 31. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。研究发现巴拿马雌性白颈蜂鸟模仿雄性羽毛颜色可助其进食，同时阐述了不都进化出鲜艳羽毛原因。 【28题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“For example, male cardinals (红雀) get bright red feathers, while females are pale brown. And the male white-necked jacobin, a tiny tropical hummingbird (蜂鸟), has a deep blue head and lively green back, whereas females are generally drab.(例如，雄性主红雀有鲜红色的羽毛，而雌性是浅棕色的。雄性白颈蜂鸟，一种小型热带蜂鸟，有深蓝色的头部和鲜艳的绿色背部，而雌性通常颜色单调。)”可知，作者通过比较雄性和雌性鸟类羽毛颜色的不同来引入话题。故选C。 【29题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Researchers studying white-necked jacobins in Panama noticed that nearly 30 percent of the more than 120 females they caught between 2015 and 2019 turned out to be females that looked like males, while 2 years later over 40 percent.(在巴拿马研究白颈蜂鸟的研究人员注意到，在2015年至2019年间捕获的120多只雌性蜂鸟中，近30%的雌性看起来像雄性，而两年后这一比例超过了40%。)”可知，像雄性的雌性白颈蜂鸟的数量在增加。故选C。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“A study published in Current Biology explains why. It turns out that copying male coloration helps female white-necked jacobins avoid being disturbed from other hummingbirds while feeding.(发表在《当代生物学》上的一项研究解释了原因。事实证明，模仿雄性的颜色有助于雌性白颈蜂鸟在进食时避免受到其他蜂鸟的干扰。)”以及第三段“‘Just looking like males seems to stop bullies (霸凌),’ allowing females better access to honey.(‘仅仅看起来像雄性似乎就能阻止霸凌者，’这让雌性有更好的机会获得蜂蜜。)”可知，雌性白颈蜂鸟模仿雄性的颜色是为了有更多生存的机会。故选B。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段“With such benefits, why don’t all females develop bright feathers? It not only needs more energy and time to keep the feathers, but also it’s risky. Female hummingbirds are single parents, which is already energy-demanding. On top of that, ‘if you’re brightly colored and sitting on a brown nest in a green tree, you’re going to stand out,’ Falk says. ‘It’s much easier to be eaten.’(有这样的好处，为什么不是所有的雌性都长出鲜艳的羽毛呢？保持羽毛不仅需要更多的能量和时间，而且还有风险。雌性蜂鸟是单亲妈妈，这已经很耗费精力了。除此之外，‘如果你颜色鲜艳，坐在绿色树上的棕色巢穴上，你会很显眼，’福克说。‘这样更容易被吃掉。’)”可知，最后一段主要讲了拥有鲜艳羽毛的缺点。故选A。 D “There’s research showing that we tend to postpone breaks when we finish what we’ve got to do” says psychology professor Claudia Hammond, whereas microbreak studies indicate that it is more beneficial to build regular downtime into a busy schedule. Neuroscientists have shown that continuous mentally taxing work can even lead to poorer decision-making, since it reduces “cognitive (认知的)control”, which is our ability to flexibly direct our thoughts and behavior in order to reach a long-term goal. In an experiment in 2022, behavioral researcher Antonius Wiehler and his colleagues asked participants to perform simple or demanding tasks on a computer for 6.5 hours. To measure the running-down of cognitive control, the computer periodically interrupted the participants to ask questions such as “Would you like $22 now or $50 in six months?” “In the morning, you’re fresh. And you know the best choice is to take the money later;” says Wiehler. But the people doing exhausting tasks increasingly chose the immediate rewards of lower value. Why would this be? Wiehler and his team showed that people who had done harder tasks had higher levels of glutamate (谷氨酸) in their prefrontal cortex than those doing easy ones. The implication was that perhaps it is the build-up of glutamate that causes a reduction in cognitive control. However, Wiehler’s study didn’t prove this. “There are many exciting questions waiting to be solved,” says Wiehler, not least concerning how brains recover and how much rest is needed to maintain or restore normal glutamate levels and cognitive control. Besides improving decision-making, regular periods of downtime may also aid effective learning. Neuroscientists have long known that memory consolidation occurs during sleep, but now studies suggest that waking rest can also help the brain’s records of what we have just learned.“If you rest for a few minutes after you learn something, your memory is better later, ” says Erin Wamsley, a psychologist. 32. What can we know from the experiment in 2022? A. Normal glutamate levels can be restored after the break. B. People doing simple tasks have better cognitive control. C. Higher levels of glutamate lead to a reduction in cognitive control. D. The levels of glutamate can change according to the working intensity. 33. What is the tone of the author? A. Negative. B. Critical. C. Objective. D. Humorous. 34. What will probably be discussed next in the text? A. How to promote sleep. B. How to consolidate memory. C. How to enhance effective learning. D. How to improve decision-making. 35. Which is the most suitable title for the text? A. Glutamate Determines Memory B. Regular Downtime Brings Benefits C. Mental Work Reduces Cognitive Control D. Demanding Tasks Cause Poor Decision-Making 【答案】32. D 33. C 34. B 35. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍的是科学研究表明定期休息有助于恢复认知控制、提升决策能力和学习效果。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据文中“Wiehler and his team showed that people who had done harder tasks had higher levels of glutamate (谷氨酸) in their prefrontal cortex than those doing easy ones. (维勒和他的团队发现，完成较难任务的人，其前额叶皮层中的谷氨酸水平比完成简单任务的人高。)” 可知，谷氨酸的水平会根据工作强度而变化。故选D项。 【33题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Neuroscientists have shown that continuous mentally taxing work can even lead to poorer decision-making, since it reduces “cognitive (认知的)control”, which is our ability to flexibly direct our thoughts and behavior in order to reach a long-term goal. (神经科学家已经证明，持续的高强度脑力劳动甚至会导致决策能力下降，因为它会削弱“认知控制”——即我们灵活引导自己的思维和行为以实现长期目标的能力。)”、第三段中的“In an experiment in 2022, behavioral researcher Antonius Wiehler and his colleagues asked participants to perform simple or demanding tasks on a computer for 6.5 hours. (在2022年的一项实验中，行为研究人员安东尼乌斯・维勒和他的同事让参与者在电脑上执行简单或复杂的任务6.5小时。)” 以及第四段中的“Wiehler and his team showed that people who had done harder tasks had higher levels of glutamate (谷氨酸) in their prefrontal cortex than those doing easy ones.(维勒和他的团队发现，完成较难任务的人，其前额叶皮层中的谷氨酸水平比完成简单任务的人高。)”可知，作者只是客观地介绍了各项研究的结果和相关观点，没有加入自己的主观评价或情感倾向，由此可推断，作者的语气是客观的。故选C项。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Neuroscientists have long known that memory consolidation occurs during sleep, but now studies suggest that waking rest can also help the brain’s records of what we have just learned. “If you rest for a few minutes after you learn something, your memory is better later, ” says Erin Wamsley, a psychologist. (神经科学家早就知道记忆巩固发生在睡眠中，但现在的研究表明，清醒时的休息也有助于大脑记录我们刚刚学到的东西。心理学家艾琳・万斯利说：“如果你在学习后休息几分钟，之后你的记忆力会更好。”)”可知，记忆巩固发生在睡眠中，而研究发现，清醒时的休息也有助于大脑记录我们刚刚学到的东西，由此可推断，接下来可能会讨论如何巩固记忆。故选 B 项。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是首段““There’s research showing that we tend to postpone breaks when we finish what we’ve got to do” says psychology professor Claudia Hammond, whereas microbreak studies indicate that it is more beneficial to build regular downtime into a busy schedule. (“有研究表明，我们往往会等到完成手头的工作后再休息，”心理学教授克劳迪娅·哈蒙德说道，而微休息研究则表明，在繁忙的日程中安排规律的休息时间更有益处。)”可知，文章开篇提到在繁忙的日程中安排规律的休息时间更有益处，接着通过实验和研究说明定期休息不仅能改善决策能力，还有助于有效学习等好处，所以题目“定期休息有好处)”可以概括文章的主题，适合作为文章标题。故选B项。 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。 Burnout is a form of exhaustion caused by constantly feeling overwhelmed (不知所措).

But I loved the challenge of overcoming something bigger than myself. Soon I’d climbed nearly 60 mountains. Last year, on 15 February, my friend Mel Olsen and I went to Oregon to climb 11, 240-foot Mount Hood.That day, we started at 3 a.m. It was about -10℃. Along the way, we met two other climbers, and the four of us continued on together. Before the final push to the top, my face felt as if it were burning. The other climbers decided to turn back, but Mel and I went ahead. As we went higher, it became more difficult to climb on. At around 9 a.m., we reached an ice step. It was about three or four feet tall. I volunteered to go first. I placed my left foot on the ice step. I was sure that I was safe, so I put my full weight on it. Suddenly, I heard a sound, and a whole piece of ice broke off the step, right under my foot. In a second, I fell backwards. I could hear Mel calling my name as I was rolling down the mountain. After a few seconds, I found I’d fallen 50 feet. Then I took a survey of my body to see where I was hurt, starting with my head, then my neck and arms. For the most part, I was fine, except that I was suffering from a huge pain in my left leg and couldn’t move. 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。 The pain spread all over my body. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I started climbing again half a year later. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 The pain spread all over my body. I shouted for help. Immediately Mel and other climbers came to help me and called Mountain Rescue. Then I was taken to a hospital where I stayed for ten days. I was treated well both in hospital and at home. The doctors told me it would be a year before my leg was well again. When lying in the bed, I was always thinking what I should do to prevent such an accident. I was constantly learning how to do it better next time. I started climbing again half a year later. Of course, my parents and friends have been worried about me and have been advising me not to take risks any more. I know the fall has made me more careful. But the experience also made me grow as a person. Since the accident, I’ve climbed another 10 mountains. I love it. I’m not going to let one fall stop me from doing my favorite thing. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述作者15岁时在不列颠哥伦比亚省萨里首次攀登高山，虽当时超重且登顶气喘，但爱上挑战，此后攀登近60座山。去年2月 15日，作者与朋友梅尔・奥尔森在俄勒冈攀登胡德山，途中遭遇冰面破裂，作者不幸坠落50英尺，左腿剧痛无法移动。 详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“疼痛蔓延到我全身。我大声呼救。”可以预测续写这段主要内容： 作者登山坠落受伤，接受救治，卧床期间思考防范事故、提升登山技巧。 ②由第二段首句内容“半年后我又开始登山了。”可以预测续写这段主要内容：半年后作者重拾登山，虽遭亲友劝阻，仍坚持热爱，不因一次坠落放弃。 2.续写线索： 坠落受伤——接受救治——提升登山技巧—— 重拾登山——坚持热爱 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①帮助：help/aid/assist ②建议：advise/suggest ③阻止：stop/prevent 情绪类 ①担心的：worried/concerned ②小心的：careful/watchful/cautious 【点睛】[高分句型1] Then I was taken to a hospital where I stayed for ten days. （运用了where引导的定语从句） [高分句型2] When lying in the bed, I was always thinking what I should do to prevent such an accident.（运用了状语从句的省略和what引导的宾语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $这是常德市原理共同体2025年高3 5月模拟考试英语科听力部分。该部分。分为第一第二两节。注意回答听力部分时，请先将答案标在试卷上。听力部分结束前，你将有两分钟的时间将答案转涂到客观题答题卡上。现在是听力试音时间。Hello, international friends club.

It's made from paper and plants. IT could help produce plastic pollution in the ocean. James landcraft started a bottled water company two years ago, but not for profit. He aimed to put all the money he made into providing clean drinking water to african countries. However, concerned about the environmental effects of plastic bottles, long craft decided the company should go plastic free. After months of experimenting at his kitchen table, he invented a new type of water bottle made from paper with a waterproof lining. When the bottle is buried or thrown in the ocean, the paper breaks down from the outside. The outside is made from recycled paper, while the inside is designed to be waterproof to keep its structure and keep the water fresh, just like plastic, said long craft. The twenty seven year old inventor also mentioned that the bottle can be safely eaten by sea animals. Long craft is trying to collect twenty five thousand dollars to produce the bottle. We really want to get our bottles into people's hands as soon as possible. If we can prevent even one plastic bottle from ending up in the environment, IT will be worth IT, said lang craft.
