Wings flight-frozen and round eyes glassy. I touch its feathers lightly with my fingertip and I’m surprised because they still feel real even though the owl has slipped away somewhere else and Dad is already digging a hole for it in the rain-soaked earth. I lift its body and it’s huge in my hands but the hollow bones do most of the work for me and I almost think the owl might shake the stiffness from its feathers and fly away. I really don’t think this one should go into a hole in the ground. I say that to Dad and he says that it’s the circle of life and that now the owl will become part of nature again. Feeding the soil with its flesh and growing the roots of plants from its feathers. Dad shifts the last of the dirt with his spade and sits down at the base of a tree with a huff of air that smokes around him. I put the bird in the hole and mark it with a smooth pebble (鹅卵石) so I’ll always know. After we’ve buried the owl, we walk all around the woods and clear the worst of the damage from the winds and the rain. The damage isn’t as bad as it’s been before and it feels like the storm has cleaned everything back to being new and fresh. I use my hawk eyes and search the ground in flicks and sweeps and I find treasures in the rain-raked earth just like always. Pieces of pottery and something that could be a Roman coin. I slip them into my pocket and they bump against each other to tell their stories to me, but I’ll listen later. I help Dad load the best of the fallen branches on to the trailer so we can cut them for fire wood or maybe a bonfire, and then we drive over the muddy paths and back to our house. 4. What do we know about the owl when the author finds it? A. It is already dead. B. It is hidden in a hole. C. It is to stiff to fly away. D. It is trying to flee the woods. 5. Why does the author mark the hole with a pebble? A. To make future visits convenient. B. To show sympathy for the owl. C. To keep the site clear of plants. D. To draw the attention of passers-by. 6. What message does the author want to convey by mentioning the owl? A. Storms make trees take deeper roots. B. In nature’s embrace, time stands still. C. The darkest hour has only sixty minutes. D. With every leaf’s fall, a new life rises. 7. What does “I’ll listen later” in paragraph 4 reveal about the author? A. Money-driven. B. Wonder-seeking. C. Artistically talented. D. Emotionally sound. 【答案】4. A 5. A 6. D 7. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者和父亲在暴风雨后埋葬了一只死去的猫头鹰，并在树林里清理暴风雨造成的破坏，同时发现了一些“宝藏”的故事。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Wings flight - frozen and round eyes glassy. I touch its feathers lightly with my fingertip and I'm surprised because they still feel real even though the owl has slipped away somewhere else and Dad is already digging a hole for it in the rain - soaked earth.(猫头鹰的翅膀展开，双眼圆睁，目光呆滞。我用指尖轻轻触碰它的羽毛，心中满是讶异，因为它们摸起来仍然是那么真实，尽管这只猫头鹰的生命已消逝，而父亲已在被雨水浸湿的土地上为它挖好了墓穴)”可知，猫头鹰的翅膀僵硬，眼睛无神，已经死去，所以作者的父亲才会为它挖洞埋葬，故选A。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“I put the bird in the hole and mark it with a smooth pebble (鹅卵石) so I’ll always know.(我把那只鸟放进洞里，然后用一块光滑的鹅卵石做标记，这样我就永远知道它埋在哪里了)”可知，作者用鹅卵石标记这个洞是为了自己总能知道猫头鹰埋葬的位置，方便日后再来。故选A。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Dad says that it’s the circle of life and that now the owl will become part of nature again. Feeding the soil with its flesh and growing the roots of plants from its feathers.(爸爸说这就是生命的循环，这只猫头鹰现在又将成为大自然的一部分。它的肉身滋养着土壤，它的羽毛中会长出植物的根须)”可知，父亲说这是生命的循环，猫头鹰的身体会滋养土壤，它的羽毛会让植物生根发芽，意味着旧的生命逝去，新的生命会随之升起。故选D。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段 “I use my hawk eyes and search the ground in flicks and sweeps and I find treasures in the rain-raked earth just like always. Pieces of pottery and something that could be a Roman coin. I slip them into my pocket and they bump against each other to tell their stories to me.(我像鹰眼一样扫视着地面，不断搜寻着，而且总能在被雨水冲刷过的泥土里发现宝贝。有一片片的陶器，还有一个可能是古罗马硬币的东西。我把它们放进口袋，它们相互碰撞着，向我诉说着它们的故事)”可知，作者把在地上发现的 “宝藏”放进兜里，说稍后再听它们的故事，体现了作者充满好奇心，喜欢探索奇妙事物。故选B。 C Socrates declared that the unexamined life wasn’t worth living for a human being, implying that we should attempt to know ourselves, to think through our actions, choices, and attitudes. But when it comes to thinking about our own happiness and what makes our lives go well, it really does seem that this reflective (沉思的) attitude can harm our chances of finding what we seek. Perhaps it’s not surprising that we are better designed for taking part in other activities than reflecting on how best to achieve our own happiness and well-being. Doing things that enhance our growth in physical, social and intellectual areas tends to bring the reward of feeling good, and so encourages us to devote more efforts to those activities. Sitting around reflecting on what will make us happy is a lot less efficient than chasing the things that make us happy, and if we think too much, there is an opportunity cost — time that we could have spent in a worthwhile activity has gone while we were thinking deeply about the best way to develop. The philosopher David has written about the role of reflective thinking in sports. One of his observations is that while sportspeople need to think about the basic actions they are performing, it can be counterproductive (产生相反效果的) to start thinking about the elements making up those actions. A footballer needs to think about kicking the ball low and hard to the left of the goalkeeper, but not to overthink the mechanics (机制) of the precise small movements of legs and feet that produce that outcome. If he or she does start this sort of thought process, it very often leads to a poorer shot. What’s needed is a kind of automatic response to the situation. Perhaps something similar is going on in our life. Those people who start detailed programs of self-development in various aspects, focusing on diet, habits, exercise, mental activity, work output, and so on, are like the footballer thinking through the small muscle movements. Perhaps their well-meaning self-reflection on their own development and how they want to achieve it, is the very thing that will make a high level of development forever unobtainable for them. 8. What may cause an opportunity cost? A. Joining in social meetings actively. B. Spending time on worthy activities. C. Doing physical exercises efficiently. D. Getting stuck in much self-reflection. 9. Why does the author mention David’s observations? A. To praise the wise philosopher. B. To teach readers football skills. C. To prove the point through a case. D. To argue for reflective thinking. 10. What does the author suggest readers do to achieve their goals? A. Make a comprehensive plan. B. Adopt a direct approach. C. Think carefully before action. D. Attach importance to details. 11. What is a suitable title for this text? A. The Risk of Overthinking. B. The Key to Well-being. C. The Way to Think Reflectively. D. The Method to Develop Yourself. 【答案】8. D 9. C 10. B 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了过度思考带来的种种弊端，告诫我们不要过度思考。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Sitting around reflecting on what will make us happy is a lot less efficient than chasing the things that make us happy, and if we think too much, there is an opportunity cost — time that we could have spent in a worthwhile activity has gone while we were thinking deeply about the best way to develop.(坐下来思考什么能让我们快乐比追求让我们快乐的事情效率低得多，如果我们想得太多，就会有机会成本——我们本可以花在有价值的活动上的时间，而我们却在深入思考最好的发展方式)”可知，困于过度的自我反思会导致机会成本，故选D。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“The philosopher David has written about the role of reflective thinking in sports.One of his observations is that while sportspeople need to think about the basic actions they are performing, it can be counterproductive to start thinking about the elements making up those actions.(哲学家大卫写过关于反思性思维在体育中的作用。他的一个观察是，虽然运动员需要思考他们正在执行的基本动作，但开始思考构成这些动作的元素可能会适得其反)”可推知，作者提到David的观察是为了举例说明过度思考的劣势。故选C。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“What’s needed is a kind of automatic response to the situation.(我们需要的是一种对情况的自动响应)”可知，作者建议读者采取一个直接的方法来达成目标。故选B。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段中的“But when it comes to thinking about our own happiness and what makes our lives go well, it really does seem that this reflective(沉思的) attitude can ruin our chances of finding what we seek.(但是，当我们思考自己的幸福以及是什么让我们的生活变得美好时，这种反思的态度似乎真的会破坏我们找到我们所寻求的东西的机会)”以及全文内容可知，本文主要讲述了过度思考带来的种种弊端，告诫我们不要过度思考。由此可知，A项“过度思考的风险”适合作为文章的标题。故选A。 D Are you preparing for a big test? If so, you may want to play some basketball in between hitting the books. Doctors are starting to find more and more information that suggests a connection between exercise and brain development. Judy Cameron, a scientist at Oregon Health and Science University, studies brain development. According to her research, it seems that exercise can make blood vessels (血管) , including those in the brain, stronger and more fully developed. Dr Cameron claims this allows people who exercise to concentrate better. She says, “While we already know that exercise is good for the heart, exercise can really cause physical changes in the brain.” The effects of exercise on brain development can even be seen in babies. Babies who do activities that require a lot of movement and physical activity show greater brain development than babies who are less physically active. With babies, even a little movement can show big results. Older people can beef up their brain as well. Scientists from 11 universities studied a group of seniors aged from 70 to 79. Their study showed a short-term memory increase of up to 40 percent after exercising just three hours a week. The exercise does not have to be very difficult, but it does have to increase the heart rate. Also, just like the motion for babies, exercise for seniors should involve some complexity (复杂). Learning some new skills or motions, such as with yoga or Tai Ji, helps open up memory paths in the brain that may not have been used for a long time. For most people any type of physical activity that increases the heart rate is helpful. The main goal is to increase the brain’s flow of blood. And your brain can benefit from as little as three hours of exercise a week. 12. What do we know from paragraph 1? A. The brain needs special mental exercise. B. The more exercise, the bigger the brain. C. Exercise helps the brain develop better. D. Exercise makes us stronger and happier. 13. What does the underlined “beef up” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Organise. B. Improve. C. Relax. D. Rescue. 14. How can 3 hours of proper exercise a week help? A. Lengthen the age from 70 to 79. B. Increase the heart rate of babies. C. Benefit seniors’ short-term memory. D. Open up memory paths for students. 15. What is the purpose of the text? A. To offer advice on how to do exercise. B. To introduce ways to change the brain. C. To give tips on how to raise test scores. D. To encourage exercise for brain benefit. 【答案】12. C 13. B 14. C 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍的是通过适当的运动能够促进大脑功能的发育。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Doctors are starting to find more and more information that suggests a connection between exercise and brain development.(医生们开始发现越来越多的信息表明运动和大脑发育之间存在联系。)”可知，医生发现运动与大脑发育之间存在着联系，结合下文的“Judy Cameron, a scientist at Oregon Health and Science University, studies brain development. According to her research, it seems that exercise can make blood vessels (血管) , including those in the brain, stronger and more fully developed. Dr Cameron claims this allows people who exercise to concentrate better.(俄勒冈健康与科学大学的科学家Judy Cameron研究大脑发育。根据她的研究，运动似乎可以使血管，包括大脑中的血管，更强壮，更充分地发育。)”可知，运动可以使包括大脑中的血管在内的血管能更充分地发育，由此可知，从第一段中我们可以了解到的是运动有助于大脑更好地发育。故选C项。 【13题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第二段中的“The effects of exercise on brain development can even be seen in babies. Babies who do activities that require a lot of movement and physical activity show greater brain development than babies who are less physically active.(运动对大脑发育的影响甚至可以在婴儿身上看到。那些需要大量运动和体力活动的婴儿比那些体力活动较少的婴儿表现出更大的大脑发育。)”可知，运动对大脑发育的影响甚至可以在婴儿身上看到，根据划线短语前的“Older people can”与其后的“their brain as well.”可知，此处讲述的应是运动老人的大脑也有影响，结合下文中的“Scientists from 11 universities studied a group of seniors aged from 70 to 79. Their study showed a short-term memory increase of up to 40 percent after exercising just three hours a week.(来自11所大学的科学家对一组年龄在70岁至79岁之间的老年人进行了研究。他们的研究表明，每周只运动三小时，短期记忆力就会提高40%。)”可知，研究发现，每周只运动三小时，年龄在70岁至79岁之间的老年人的短期记忆力就会提高40%，由此可知，运动有助于增强老人的大脑，所以划线短语的意思与“增强”意义相近。故选B项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的“Scientists from 11 universities studied a group of seniors aged from 70 to 79. Their study showed a short-term memory increase of up to 40 percent after exercising just three hours a week.(来自11所大学的科学家对一组年龄在70岁至79岁之间的老年人进行了研究。他们的研究表明，每周只运动三小时，短期记忆力就会提高40%。)”可知，对年龄在70岁至79岁之间的老年人的研究表明，每周只运动三个小时，短期记忆就会提高40%，由此可知，运动有利于老年人的短期记忆。故选C项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据尾段中的“For most people, any type of physical activity that increases the heart rate is helpful. The main goal is to increase the brain’s flow of blood. And your brain can benefit from as little as three hours of exercise a week.(对大多数人来说，任何增加心率的体育活动都是有益的。主要目标是增加大脑的血液流动。你的大脑可以从每周3小时的运动中受益。)”可知，任何增加心率的体育活动都是有益的，大脑可以从每周3小时的运动中受益，由此可知，本文主要介绍的是通过适当的体育活动能够促进大脑功能的发育，所以本文的目的是鼓励人们为了大脑健康而进行运动。故选D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。 What makes great storytelling for film?

Meanwhile ____43____ number of scientists and researchers devote themselves to getting this technology ____44____ (improve). Discussions on the movie not only show support for Chinese movies _____45_____ give us the chance to get to know related knowledge behind the movie. 【答案】36. striking 37. particularly 38. to 39. that##which 40. before 41. are inspired 42. eagerness 43. a 44. improved 45. but 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了电影《流浪地球》因其中的科技元素吸引了人们的关注，尤其提到了其中的太空电梯。 【36题详解】 考查形容词。句意：即使到现在，许多电影观众仍认为它是2013年最震撼人心的电影之一，这得益于电影中的科学技术，尤其是能将人送往太空的太空电梯。空处用形容词作定语，修饰名词movies，strike的形容词是striking，意为“引人注目的”。故填striking。 【37题详解】 考查副词。句意：即使到现在，许多电影观众仍认为它是2013年最震撼人心的电影之一，这得益于电影中的科学技术，尤其是能将人送往太空的太空电梯。particular的副词是particularly，意为“尤其”，可用来强调某个特别的对象或情况。故填particularly。 【38题详解】 考查介词。句意：建造太空电梯的关键方法是找到一种超强材料来作为电梯缆绳。the approach to doing sth.是固定短语，意为“做某事的方法”，因此空处是介词to。故填to。 【39题详解】 考查定语从句。句意：建造太空电梯的关键方法是找到一种超强材料来作为电梯缆绳。空处引导的是限制性定语从句，从句中缺少主语，先行词material是物，关系词替代先行词，因此空格处用关系代词that/which引导。故填that/which。 【40题详解】 考查连词。句意：可能要过很多年，建造太空电梯的梦想才能实现。“It be+一段时间 + before...”是固定句型，意为“可能要过一段时间才……”。故填before。 【41题详解】 考查动词时态语态和主谓一致。句意：但许多人都受到了电影中先进技术的启发。谓语动词inspire与主语many people之间是被动关系，即“人们被激励”，且句子描述的是一般情况，所以用一般现在时的被动语态，主语为复数名词，be动词为are。故填are inspired。 【42题详解】 考查名词。句意：对这项技术的讨论显示了人类在材料科学发展方面的渴望。空处用名词作宾语，eager的名词是eagerness，是不可数名词，意为“渴望”。故填eagerness。 【43题详解】 考查冠词。句意：与此同时，许多科学家和研究人员致力于改进这项技术。a number of是固定短语，意为“许多的”，因此空格处是a。故填a。 【44题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：与此同时，许多科学家和研究人员致力于改进这项技术。get sth. done是固定结构，意为“使某事被做”，technology与improve之间是逻辑被动关系，所以用过去分词improved作宾语补足语。故填improved。 【45题详解】 考查连词。句意：对这部电影的讨论不仅表达了对中国电影的支持，还让我们有机会了解电影背后的相关知识。not only...but (also)...是固定短语，意为“不仅……而且……”，空处需填连词but。故填but。 第三节 单词填空 （共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分） 请认真阅读下列各小题，并根据上下文语境和所给首字母或中文的提示，写出下列各句空格中的单词，注意保持语义和形式的一致。 46.

She didn’t even say “thank you” — she never a________ what others do for her. (根据首字母单词拼写) 【答案】acknowledges##cknowledges 【解析】 【详解】考查动词时态。句意：她甚至连“谢谢”都没说——她从不感谢别人为她做的事。根据句意“感谢”和首字母提示可知，此处为动词acknowledge，结合“never”可知，表示经常性的动作，使用一般现在时。故填acknowledges。 50.

(根据首字母单词拼写) 【答案】survival##urvival 【解析】 【详解】考查名词。句意：在考试季，高中生活感觉就像适者生存的状态。根据句意“生存”和首字母提示可知，此处为名词survival，作宾语，survival of the fittest是固定短语，意为 “适者生存”。故填survival。 51.

The machine had been in their family for years—first her mother’s, then hers. Veronica had always taken care of it, just like her mother had. Though it wasn’t in perfect condition, it still worked if used carefully. Veronica remembered the long hours her mother had spent sewing on it when she was growing up, especially during hard times. She also remembered how her mother had taught her to use the machine, her scolding (训斥) sharp and unforgiving, not allowing any mistakes. Now Jane was trying to use it, but she was impatiently pulling at the thread (线), causing the needle to get stuck (卡住) with every attempt. The sound of the machine’s protests — sharp, squeaky, and out of tune—made Veronica uneasy. “Stop pulling so bard,” Veronica said, her voice calm at first, “You’ll break it.” Jane glanced up, a little annoyed. “It’s already broken, Mom.” Veronica felt a knot tighten in her chest. She knew Jane didn’t understand. To her, it was just an old machine. But to Veronica, it was more than that. It was a link to her past. “Stop pulling at it like that,” Veronica said, her voice tense. “It’s not a toy, Jane. You can’t just force it.” Jane looked up, eyes defiant (反抗的). “It’s a piece of junk, Mom. I’m trying to fix it, but it’s useless.” Veronica stood up and grabbed Jane’s hand, forcing her to stop tugging at the machine. Her grip was tight, almost painful, and she shoved (推开) Jane’s hand away. “It’s not junk! You need to be careful with it!” Jane pulled her hand back, her eyes welling up with tears. She didn’t say anything, but the hurt was clear on her face. Veronica watched her for a few seconds, her heart still pounding in her chest. But at that very moment something changed inside her. She opened her mouth to speak, but no words came out at firs — only a breathless, frustrated sigh. A sudden, familiar feeling washed over her, an uncomfortable weight in her chest. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为100左右; 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Her memories of sitting with her mother at the sewing machine flooded back. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Possible Version Her memories of sitting with her mother at the sewing machine flooded back. She remembered the warm glow of the lamp, the soft click of the pedals, and the gentle hum of the machine as they worked together, creating beautiful things. Veronica took a deep breath, her frustration melting away. She gently took Jane’s hand and placed it on her own lap. “Let’s do this together,” she said softly. Jane looked up at her, her eyes wide with surprise and a hint of relief. Together, they fixed the sewing machine, and in that moment, Veronica knew that the bond between them was unbreakable, just like the old sewing machine they cherished. Her memories of sitting with her mother at the sewing machine flooded back. She remembered how her mother’s hands moved skillfully on the machine, creating beautiful clothes. Her mother had always been patient, teaching her every little detail. Veronica’s eyes filled with tears as she realized she had been too hard on Jane. She took a deep breath and said softly, “Jane, this sewing machine is not just a thing. It has my mother’s love and our family’s stories in it.” Jane looked at her mother, seeing the deep emotion in her eyes. She nodded slowly, beginning to understand. “I’m sorry, Mom,” she said. Veronica smiled and hugged her daughter. The old sewing machine, once a source of conflict, now became a bridge for their understanding. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述Veronica家中的旧缝纫机承载着她和母亲的回忆，她一直悉心维护。女儿Jane试图使用时，因急躁拉扯线致使针卡住，还称缝纫机已坏是垃圾。Veronica因Jane对缝纫机的不当对待而紧张，强硬制止，这让Jane伤心落泪，Veronica内心也有所触动。 【详解】1.段落续写：①由第一段首句内容“她与母亲一起坐在缝纫机前的回忆如潮水般涌来。”可以预测续写这段主要内容：Veronica回忆往昔，平复情绪后与Jane一起修好缝纫机，感受着彼此间牢不可破的纽带。 ②由第二段首句内容“她与母亲一同坐在缝纫机旁的回忆如潮水般涌上心头。”可以预测续写这段主要内容：Veronica忆起母亲，向Jane倾诉缝纫机的意义，化解矛盾，缝纫机成为母女理解的桥梁。 2.续写线索： Veronica回忆往昔——与Jan修好缝纫机——向Jane倾诉缝纫机的意义—— 化解矛盾 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①.回想起： remember/recall ②.说：say/utter ③.修理：fix/repair/mend 情绪类 ①.沮丧：frustration/depression ②.惊讶：surprise/astonishment/amazement 【点睛】[高分句型1].

B We find the owl at the very edge of our woods the morning after the storm. Wings flight-frozen and round eyes glassy. I touch its feathers lightly with my fingertip and I’m surprised because they still feel real even though the owl has slipped away somewhere else and Dad is already digging a hole for it in the rain-soaked earth. I lift its body and it’s huge in my hands but the hollow bones do most of the work for me and I almost think the owl might shake the stiffness from its feathers and fly away. I really don’t think this one should go into a hole in the ground. I say that to Dad and he says that it’s the circle of life and that now the owl will become part of nature again. Feeding the soil with its flesh and growing the roots of plants from its feathers. Dad shifts the last of the dirt with his spade and sits down at the base of a tree with a huff of air that smokes around him. I put the bird in the hole and mark it with a smooth pebble (鹅卵石) so I’ll always know. After we’ve buried the owl, we walk all around the woods and clear the worst of the damage from the winds and the rain. The damage isn’t as bad as it’s been before and it feels like the storm has cleaned everything back to being new and fresh. I use my hawk eyes and search the ground in flicks and sweeps and I find treasures in the rain-raked earth just like always. Pieces of pottery and something that could be a Roman coin. I slip them into my pocket and they bump against each other to tell their stories to me, but I’ll listen later. I help Dad load the best of the fallen branches on to the trailer so we can cut them for fire wood or maybe a bonfire, and then we drive over the muddy paths and back to our house. 4.

C Socrates declared that the unexamined life wasn’t worth living for a human being, implying that we should attempt to know ourselves, to think through our actions, choices, and attitudes. But when it comes to thinking about our own happiness and what makes our lives go well, it really does seem that this reflective (沉思的) attitude can harm our chances of finding what we seek. Perhaps it’s not surprising that we are better designed for taking part in other activities than reflecting on how best to achieve our own happiness and well-being. Doing things that enhance our growth in physical, social and intellectual areas tends to bring the reward of feeling good, and so encourages us to devote more efforts to those activities. Sitting around reflecting on what will make us happy is a lot less efficient than chasing the things that make us happy, and if we think too much, there is an opportunity cost — time that we could have spent in a worthwhile activity has gone while we were thinking deeply about the best way to develop. The philosopher David has written about the role of reflective thinking in sports. One of his observations is that while sportspeople need to think about the basic actions they are performing, it can be counterproductive (产生相反效果的) to start thinking about the elements making up those actions. A footballer needs to think about kicking the ball low and hard to the left of the goalkeeper, but not to overthink the mechanics (机制) of the precise small movements of legs and feet that produce that outcome. If he or she does start this sort of thought process, it very often leads to a poorer shot. What’s needed is a kind of automatic response to the situation. Perhaps something similar is going on in our life. Those people who start detailed programs of self-development in various aspects, focusing on diet, habits, exercise, mental activity, work output, and so on, are like the footballer thinking through the small muscle movements. Perhaps their well-meaning self-reflection on their own development and how they want to achieve it, is the very thing that will make a high level of development forever unobtainable for them. 8. What may cause an opportunity cost? A. Joining in social meetings actively. B. Spending time on worthy activities. C. Doing physical exercises efficiently. D. Getting stuck in much self-reflection. 9. Why does the author mention David’s observations? A. To praise the wise philosopher. B. To teach readers football skills. C. To prove the point through a case. D. To argue for reflective thinking. 10. What does the author suggest readers do to achieve their goals? A. Make a comprehensive plan. B. Adopt a direct approach. C. Think carefully before action. D. Attach importance to details. 11. What is a suitable title for this text? A. The Risk of Overthinking. B. The Key to Well-being. C. The Way to Think Reflectively. D. The Method to Develop Yourself. D Are you preparing for a big test? If so, you may want to play some basketball in between hitting the books. Doctors are starting to find more and more information that suggests a connection between exercise and brain development. Judy Cameron, a scientist at Oregon Health and Science University, studies brain development. According to her research, it seems that exercise can make blood vessels (血管) , including those in the brain, stronger and more fully developed. Dr Cameron claims this allows people who exercise to concentrate better. She says, “While we already know that exercise is good for the heart, exercise can really cause physical changes in the brain.” The effects of exercise on brain development can even be seen in babies. Babies who do activities that require a lot of movement and physical activity show greater brain development than babies who are less physically active. With babies, even a little movement can show big results. Older people can beef up their brain as well. Scientists from 11 universities studied a group of seniors aged from 70 to 79. Their study showed a short-term memory increase of up to 40 percent after exercising just three hours a week. The exercise does not have to be very difficult, but it does have to increase the heart rate. Also, just like the motion for babies, exercise for seniors should involve some complexity (复杂). Learning some new skills or motions, such as with yoga or Tai Ji, helps open up memory paths in the brain that may not have been used for a long time. For most people, any type of physical activity that increases the heart rate is helpful. The main goal is to increase the brain’s flow of blood. And your brain can benefit from as little as three hours of exercise a week. 12. What do we know from paragraph 1? A. The brain needs special mental exercise. B. The more exercise, the bigger the brain. C. Exercise helps the brain develop better. D. Exercise makes us stronger and happier. 13. What does the underlined “beef up” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Organise. B. Improve. C. Relax. D. Rescue. 14. How can 3 hours of proper exercise a week help? A. Lengthen the age from 70 to 79. B. Increase the heart rate of babies. C. Benefit seniors’ short-term memory. D. Open up memory paths for students. 15. What is the purpose of the text? A. To offer advice on how to do exercise. B. To introduce ways to change the brain. C. To give tips on how to raise test scores. D. To encourage exercise for brain benefit. 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 makes great storytelling for film?

The machine had been in their family for years—first her mother’s, then hers. Veronica had always taken care of it, just like her mother had. Though it wasn’t in perfect condition, it still worked if used carefully. Veronica remembered the long hours her mother had spent sewing on it when she was growing up, especially during hard times. She also remembered how her mother had taught her to use the machine, her scolding (训斥) sharp and unforgiving, not allowing any mistakes. Now Jane was trying to use it, but she was impatiently pulling at the thread (线), causing the needle to get stuck (卡住) with every attempt. The sound of the machine’s protests — sharp, squeaky, and out of tune—made Veronica uneasy. “Stop pulling so bard,” Veronica said, her voice calm at first, “You’ll break it.” Jane glanced up, a little annoyed. “It’s already broken, Mom.” Veronica felt a knot tighten in her chest. She knew Jane didn’t understand. To her, it was just an old machine. But to Veronica, it was more than that. It was a link to her past. “Stop pulling at it like that,” Veronica said, her voice tense. “It’s not a toy, Jane. You can’t just force it.” Jane looked up, eyes defiant (反抗的). “It’s a piece of junk, Mom. I’m trying to fix it, but it’s useless.” Veronica stood up and grabbed Jane’s hand, forcing her to stop tugging at the machine. Her grip was tight, almost painful, and she shoved (推开) Jane’s hand away. “It’s not junk! You need to be careful with it!” Jane pulled her hand back, her eyes welling up with tears. She didn’t say anything, but the hurt was clear on her face. Veronica watched her for a few seconds, her heart still pounding in her chest. But at that very moment something changed inside her. She opened her mouth to speak, but no words came out at firs — only a breathless, frustrated sigh. A sudden, familiar feeling washed over her, an uncomfortable weight in her chest. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为100左右; 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Her memories of sitting with her mother at the sewing machine flooded back. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
