B In 1991, Keith White was at the centre of a 14-vehicle pile-up when a truck crossed the central reservation and hit the van in which he was a passenger. White survived, but his left arm was crushed beyond repair, and he lost his memory for two years. His pilot license was removed and he could no longer follow his passion for diving. But he had been sailing since he was 16, and so, in 2004, he decided to buy a boat, fitting it out so he could sail it single-handedly. “I didn’t know at that point if I could sail with one hand,” he says. “But at the back of my mind I had always thought I could do anything if I put my mind to it.” Within a year, White had taken on the challenge of being the first one-armed sailor to circumnavigate (环航) the British Isles. Then he crossed the Atlantic alone in 2008. Last year he became the first sailor with a disability to circumnavigate the globe. Sailing single-handed for weeks requires mental, as well as physical, strength, especially when you are alone. So how does he do it? It’s a question that makes the yachtsman (帆船运动员) laugh. “When you have seven children it’s lovely to have a little time on your own! It’s awesome,” he jokes. “I do a log every hour, and my diary, and I read a few books. I have very little sleep.” “I’m a sociable person: I do like lots of people around. Answering emails and chatting over Facebook can help stop any loneliness,” he adds. When White made his first Atlantic crossing, he was disappointed to have his peace and quiet broken by his arrival on land. But, he says, he threw himself into meeting new people. In between adventures, he likes sailing with people who haven’t tried it before or get involved in yacht races with friends. Perhaps the main reason for his success in adjusting to life after a big adventure, he says, is that he always has an idea for a new one in his back pocket. “It keeps me ticking over — there’s always something new to do. I just like challenges and one leads to another.” 4. Why couldn’t White continue his passion for diving? A. He lost his left arm. B. His license was due. C. He had a new hobby. D. His memory was poor. 5. How did White spend his time at sea? A. By staying awake. B. By visiting old friends. C. By keeping himself busy. D. By attending his children. 6. What mainly leads to White’s successful adjustment to life after a big adventure? A. Socializing with new people. B. Scheduling new adventures. C. Coaching new yachtsmen. D. Organizing yacht races. 7. Which of the following best describes Keith White? A. Creative. B. Humorous. C. Easy-going. D. Adventurous. C You may have read that light coming into your eyes sets the body’s clock. Similarly, food changes the clocks in tissues in your liver, muscles, and fat. Human beings developed to eat only during daylight, which lasted 12 hours. That meant we didn’t eat for 12 hours a day. Sticking to that plan may help you stay healthier as well as thinner. However, it’s a surprisingly bad idea to ignore breakfast, eat lunch or dinner late, eat a big bedtime snack, or eat in the middle of the night. In a study with 776 participants, people who ignored breakfast were 80 percent more likely to have obesity (肥胖症). People who ate lunch after 12: 30 (or dinner after 21: 00) were 60 percent more likely to have those extra pounds. That was true for both men and women at different ages and regardless of other factors that affect weight including your diet and exercise habits. Odd hours seem to contribute to uncontrollable eating. When you eat late at night, you tend to eat more. Perhaps driven by hormone (荷尔蒙) increases, we long for sweeter, saltier food at night, research suggests. In one study, night eaters ate about 300 more calories each day. “Eating late in the day aggravates reflux, writes Jamie A.Koufman, who specializes in voice disorders and acid reflux (胃酸倒流). Many of my patients find that eating late makes them suffer more from their allergies and diabetes symptoms,” he says. “Give your stomach at least three hours to digest before sleeping,” advises Jonathan Aviv, another specialist in acid reflux. Eating breakfast late may also increase your breast cancer risk by about 17 percent for every hour you delay, according to a study of nearly 1,200 women with breast cancer in Spain, compared to more than 1,300 women who didn’t develop breast cancer. If you eat late at night, another research suggests, you may up the chance of breast cancer occurrence. While researchers work out the details of how our body clocks affect digestion and their downstream effects, one point is clear: Early is better. 8. What can be learned from the first paragraph? A. Not eating for a half day may do good to your health. B. What you eat makes no difference to your clocks. C. Eating late may be more harmful than ignoring breakfast. D. People gain weight because of their diet and exercise habits. 9. What does the underlined word “aggravates” probably mean? A Comforts. B. Worsens. C. Weakens D. Improves. 10. How is the result found in the text? A. By concluding from some researches concerning eating habits. B. By summarizing the data from only one survey. C. By comparing the studies about the eating disorder. D. By experimenting on people of different ages. 11. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Ignore Breakfast to Lose Weight. B. Night Eaters Are Much Healthier. C. Eating More Damages Body Clock. D. Eating Late Is Really Bad for You. D Recognizing when a friend or colleague feels sad, angry or surprised is key to getting along with others. But a new study suggests that being sensitive to feelings may sometimes come with an extra dose of stress. This and other research challenge the current view that emotional intelligence is always beneficial to its bearer. In a study, psychologists Myriam Bechtoldt of the Frankfurt School of Finance and Management in Germany asked 166 male university students a series of questions to measure their emotional intelligence. For example, they showed the students photographs of people’s faces and asked them to what extent feelings such as happiness or disgust were being expressed. The students then had to give job talks in front of judges displaying serious facial expressions. The scientists measured concentrations of the stress hormone cortisol in the students’ saliva (唾液) before and after the talk. In students who were rated more emotionally intelligent, the stress measures increased more during the experiment and took longer to go back to baseline. The findings suggest that some people may be too emotionally clever for their own good, says Bechtoldt. “Sometimes you can be so good at something that it causes trouble,” she notes. Indeed, the study adds to previous research hinting at a darker side of emotional intelligence. A study published in 2002 in Personality and Individual Differences suggested that emotionally perceptive people might be particularly influenced by feelings of depression and homelessness. Furthermore, several studies have implied that emotional intelligence can be used to control others for personal gains. More research is needed to see how exactly the relation between emotional intelligence and stress would play out in women and in people or different ages and education levels. Nevertheless, emotional intelligence is a useful skill to have, as long as you learn to also properly deal with emotions — both others’ and your own, says Bechtoldt. For example, some sensitive individuals may assume responsibility for other people’s sadness or anger, which ultimately stresses them out. Remember, as Bechtoldt says, “you are not responsible for how other people feel.” 12. Why did Myriam Bechtoldt conduct the research? A. To challenge the public assumption. B. To introduce measures to reduce stress. C. To assess the impacts of being emotionally clever. D. To demonstrate how to distinguish different feelings 13. What does the finding indicate? A. Greater emotional cleverness brings a head start in one’s life. B. People may suffer from having a high emotional intelligence. C. People’s psychological well-being is related to various factors. D. Emotional intelligence means an upper hand in job interviews. 14. What do we learn about emotional intelligence from a number of studies? A. Some people may take advantage of it and benefit themselves. B. Some people may lack it and are easily influenced by others. C. People suffering from depression are emotionally immature. D. People who look at the dark side of life are often depressed. 15. What does the author suggest sensitive individuals do? A. Help people to deal with their troubles in life. B. Learn to cope with people’s negative feelings. C. Rid themselves of worries over worldly affairs. D. Avoid burdening themselves with others’ feelings. 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。 Think back to your last presentation. ____16____ And were they engaged in what you were saying? While you may think yourself to be a great speaker, it is not particularly hard to annoy your audience. Here are the top three of annoying habits in a presentation: reading the presentation (37%), having no knowledge of the subject matter (22%), using many “umms” and “uhhs” (16%). So here are some tips to help you avoid these annoying mistakes. The most annoying presentation habit is also one of the easiest to fall victim to. With a visual aid, you tend to look back and read what you have already written. ____17____ By reading your slides, you show no additional information, and therefore give your audience no reason to keep listening once they have finished reading the slide themselves. One guideline I find especially effective is to ensure each slide has no more than six main points, and no more than six words per point. ____18____ When in practice, having slides with flexible layouts and proper pictures is equally important. ____19____ The more prepared you are, the better you can effectively avoid sounding like you’ve never even heard of your topic before. So in order to show your audience you know your stuff, getting ready will make all the difference. The third most annoying habit was using many “umms” and “uhhs”, a symptom of not communicating effectively. This could be a result of stage fright, but more often than not these interjections (感叹词) happen unconsciously. ____20____ One tip for avoiding this is to practice your presentation multiple times beforehand, out loud. The more you practice, the more likely you can catch yourself before letting the “umms” and “uhhs” slip out. A. Was it boring? B. Were people interested? C. It helps you to save your time. D. This stops you overloading your slides with information. E. Despite how innocent they seem, they can ruin your credibility. F. Avoiding another annoying habit comes down to one factor: preparation. G. However, all this shows that you can do what your audience can as well. 第三部分 语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 The joys of the night ride were the joys of feeling present in my body again.

The stress on both the body and bike made ____30____ what I’d suspected: although ____31____ from my friends and my former life, I still existed in these streets.

But during the night ride, I paid attention only to the ____34____. If I didn’t, I’d hit a pothole (坑洼) in the road. So by necessity, I became present, and everything started to feel ____35____ again. 21. A. warning B. reminder C. lesson D. secret 22. A. sports B. memories C. conflicts D. walks 23.

But I had a secret dream that I did not share with anyone: I wanted to learn to play the piano and so that I could sit on a piano bench and perform one day. Days later, I passed our announcement board, which listed items for sale, various jobs, and at the bottom, someone was offering piano lessons. My voice trembled (颤抖) when I called the number the next day. When the tutor named Melody learned that I was the student, she hesitated. She had never taught a busy adult learner, but she was willing to try if I was determined to learn. When my first lesson ended as arranged, Melody opened the door to her next student, a six-year-old boy full of enthusiasm. Melody introduced us and told me his name was Jeff. “I’m going to learn to play the piano,” he told me. No doubts or insecurities got in the boy’s way. His enthusiasm struck me, and on my way home, I whispered, “I’m going to learn to play the piano.” However, I wasn’t a star pupil. I didn’t have instant recall on how to read music. Getting both hands to cooperate was difficult and then I was introduced to the pedal (踏板). Maybe I had been just too psychologically stressed out. Consequently, Melody blamed me for not practicing enough. Therefore, I had to look at my tight schedule to see where I could make time to improve myself. The following week, Melody told me I would need to participate in the December performance and that I had to play by memory. I would have one month to memorize two pieces and I hadn’t even seen them yet! I was in despair and wanted to give up. “It’s the conventional (依照惯例的) way,” Melody said to me in a firm voice, “and even Jeff is memorizing the pieces he is playing. Think why you came here!” 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。 Her words suddenly had reminded me of my secret dream. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ On the day of the performance, I stepped slowly onto the stage. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 奋斗中学2024-2025学年第二学期高二第一次月考 英语试题 注意事项： 1.答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、考生号、座位号填写在答题卡上。 2.回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上，写在本试卷上无效。 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。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.

But he had been sailing since he was 16, and so, in 2004, he decided to buy a boat, fitting it out so he could sail it single-handedly. “I didn’t know at that point if I could sail with one hand,” he says. “But at the back of my mind I had always thought I could do anything if I put my mind to it.” Within a year, White had taken on the challenge of being the first one-armed sailor to circumnavigate (环航) the British Isles. Then he crossed the Atlantic alone in 2008. Last year he became the first sailor with a disability to circumnavigate the globe. Sailing single-handed for weeks requires mental, as well as physical, strength, especially when you are alone. So how does he do it? It’s a question that makes the yachtsman (帆船运动员) laugh. “When you have seven children it’s lovely to have a little time on your own! It’s awesome,” he jokes. “I do a log every hour, and my diary, and I read a few books. I have very little sleep.” “I’m a sociable person: I do like lots of people around. Answering emails and chatting over Facebook can help stop any loneliness,” he adds. When White made his first Atlantic crossing, he was disappointed to have his peace and quiet broken by his arrival on land. But, he says, he threw himself into meeting new people. In between adventures, he likes sailing with people who haven’t tried it before or get involved in yacht races with friends. Perhaps the main reason for his success in adjusting to life after a big adventure, he says, is that he always has an idea for a new one in his back pocket. “It keeps me ticking over — there’s always something new to do. I just like challenges and one leads to another.” 4. Why couldn’t White continue his passion for diving? A. He lost his left arm. B. His license was due. C. He had a new hobby. D. His memory was poor. 5. How did White spend his time at sea? A. By staying awake. B. By visiting old friends. C. By keeping himself busy. D. By attending his children. 6. What mainly leads to White’s successful adjustment to life after a big adventure? A. Socializing with new people. B. Scheduling new adventures. C. Coaching new yachtsmen. D. Organizing yacht races. 7. Which of the following best describes Keith White? A. Creative. B. Humorous. C. Easy-going. D. Adventurous. 【答案】4. A 5. C 6. B 7. D 【解析】 【分析】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了Keith White身残志坚的励志故事，由于一次意外，他失去了左臂并且失去了两年的记忆，但是最后他决定去航行，获得了成功。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。通过文章第一段“White survived, but his left arm was crushed beyond repair, and he lost his memory for two years.(White活了下来，但他的左臂被压得无法修复，他失去了两年的记忆)”可推知，White不能继续跳水是因为他失去了左臂。故选A项。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。通过文章第四段White 的话“I do a log every hour, and my diary, and I read a few books. I have very little sleep.(我每小时做一次日志，写日记，读几本书。)”可推知，White通过让自己忙碌的方式度过在海上的时光。故选C项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。通过文章最后一段“Perhaps the main reason for his success in adjusting to life after a big adventure, he says, is that he always has an idea for a new one in his back pocket. “It keeps me ticking over — there’s always something new to do. I just like challenges and one leads to another.”(他说，在经历了一场大冒险后，他之所以能成功适应生活，主要原因可能是他总能想出一个新点子。“它让我不停地工作——总是有新的事情要做。我只是喜欢挑战，一个接一个。”)”可知，计划新的冒险活动导致怀特在经历了一次大冒险后成功地适应了生活。故选B项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。通过文章最后一句“I just like challenges and one leads to another.(我只是喜欢挑战，一个接一个)”结合全文可知，Keith White是一个喜欢冒险的人。故选D项。 C You may have read that light coming into your eyes sets the body’s clock. Similarly, food changes the clocks in tissues in your liver, muscles, and fat. Human beings developed to eat only during daylight, which lasted 12 hours. That meant we didn’t eat for 12 hours a day. Sticking to that plan may help you stay healthier as well as thinner. However, it’s a surprisingly bad idea to ignore breakfast, eat lunch or dinner late, eat a big bedtime snack, or eat in the middle of the night. In a study with 776 participants people who ignored breakfast were 80 percent more likely to have obesity (肥胖症). People who ate lunch after 12: 30 (or dinner after 21: 00) were 60 percent more likely to have those extra pounds. That was true for both men and women at different ages and regardless of other factors that affect weight including your diet and exercise habits. Odd hours seem to contribute to uncontrollable eating. When you eat late at night, you tend to eat more. Perhaps driven by hormone (荷尔蒙) increases, we long for sweeter, saltier food at night, research suggests. In one study, night eaters ate about 300 more calories each day. “Eating late in the day aggravates reflux, writes Jamie A.Koufman, who specializes in voice disorders and acid reflux (胃酸倒流). Many of my patients find that eating late makes them suffer more from their allergies and diabetes symptoms,” he says. “Give your stomach at least three hours to digest before sleeping,” advises Jonathan Aviv, another specialist in acid reflux. Eating breakfast late may also increase your breast cancer risk by about 17 percent for every hour you delay, according to a study of nearly 1,200 women with breast cancer in Spain, compared to more than 1,300 women who didn’t develop breast cancer. If you eat late at night, another research suggests, you may up the chance of breast cancer occurrence. While researchers work out the details of how our body clocks affect digestion and their downstream effects, one point is clear: Early is better. 8. What can be learned from the first paragraph? A. Not eating for a half day may do good to your health. B. What you eat makes no difference to your clocks. C. Eating late may be more harmful than ignoring breakfast. D. People gain weight because of their diet and exercise habits. 9. What does the underlined word “aggravates” probably mean? A. Comforts. B. Worsens. C. Weakens D. Improves. 10. How is the result found in the text? A. By concluding from some researches concerning eating habits. B. By summarizing the data from only one survey. C. By comparing the studies about the eating disorder. D. By experimenting on people of different ages. 11. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Ignore Breakfast to Lose Weight. B. Night Eaters Are Much Healthier. C. Eating More Damages Body Clock. D. Eating Late Is Really Bad for You. 【答案】8. A 9. B 10. A 11. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了太晚吃东西对身体的危害，并通过相关研究结果加以佐证。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Human beings developed to eat only during daylight, which lasted 12 hours. That meant we didn’t eat for 12 hours a day. Sticking to that plan may help you stay healthier as well as thinner. (人类进化到只在白昼进食，白昼持续12小时。这意味着我们一天中有12个小时不吃东西。坚持这个计划可以帮助你保持健康和苗条。)”可知，半天不吃东西可能对你的健康有好处。故选A。 【9题详解】 词句猜测题。根据画线词后文“Many of my patients find that eating late makes them suffer more from their allergies and diabetes symptoms (我的许多病人发现，吃得晚会让他们更容易出现过敏和糖尿病症状)”可知，吃得晚会让病人更容易出现病症，此处是介绍吃得晚的坏处。由此推知，这会让胃酸反流恶化，画线词意思是“使恶化”。A. Comforts抚慰；B. Worsens恶化；C. Weakens减弱；D. Improves改善。故选B。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“In a study with 776 participants, people who ignored breakfast were 80 percent more likely to have obesity (肥胖症). People who ate lunch after 12: 30 (or dinner after 21: 00) were 60 percent more likely to have those extra pounds. (在一项有776名参与者的研究中，不吃早餐的人患肥胖症的可能性要高出80%。在12:30之后吃午餐（或21:00之后吃晚餐）的人体重增加的可能性要高出60%。)”、第三段中“In one study, night eaters ate about 300 more calories each day. (在一项研究中，晚上吃东西的人每天多摄入300卡路里。)”以及最后一段中“Eating breakfast late may also increase your breast cancer risk by about 17 percent for every hour you delay, according to a study of nearly 1,200 women with breast cancer in Spain, compared to more than 1,300 women who didn’t develop breast cancer. (根据一项对西班牙近1200名乳腺癌女性的研究，晚吃早餐也可能会使你患乳腺癌的风险增加17%，而没有患乳腺癌的女性则有1300多名。)”可知，这些有关饮食习惯的研究都表明吃得晚对健康有害，文章的结论是在总结这些研究的基础上得出的。故选A。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是根据第一段“However, it’s a surprisingly bad idea to ignore breakfast, eat lunch or dinner late, eat a big bedtime snack, or eat in the middle of the night. (然而，不吃早餐、午餐或晚餐吃得很晚、睡前吃很多零食或在半夜吃东西，这是一个非常糟糕的主意。)”可知，文章主要说明了太晚吃东西对身体的危害，并通过各种研究结果加以佐证可知，D选项“Eating Late Is Really Bad for You. (吃得晚真的对你不好。)”最适合作为文章标题。故选D。 D Recognizing when a friend or colleague feels sad, angry or surprised is key to getting along with others. But a new study suggests that being sensitive to feelings may sometimes come with an extra dose of stress. This and other research challenge the current view that emotional intelligence is always beneficial to its bearer. In a study, psychologists Myriam Bechtoldt of the Frankfurt School of Finance and Management in Germany asked 166 male university students a series of questions to measure their emotional intelligence. For example, they showed the students photographs of people’s faces and asked them to what extent feelings such as happiness or disgust were being expressed. The students then had to give job talks in front of judges displaying serious facial expressions. The scientists measured concentrations of the stress hormone cortisol in the students’ saliva (唾液) before and after the talk. In students who were rated more emotionally intelligent, the stress measures increased more during the experiment and took longer to go back to baseline. The findings suggest that some people may be too emotionally clever for their own good, says Bechtoldt. “Sometimes you can be so good at something that it causes trouble,” she notes. Indeed, the study adds to previous research hinting at a darker side of emotional intelligence. A study published in 2002 in Personality and Individual Differences suggested that emotionally perceptive people might be particularly influenced by feelings of depression and homelessness. Furthermore, several studies have implied that emotional intelligence can be used to control others for personal gains. More research is needed to see how exactly the relation between emotional intelligence and stress would play out in women and in people or different ages and education levels. Nevertheless, emotional intelligence is a useful skill to have, as long as you learn to also properly deal with emotions — both others’ and your own, says Bechtoldt. For example, some sensitive individuals may assume responsibility for other people’s sadness or anger, which ultimately stresses them out. Remember, as Bechtoldt says, “you are not responsible for how other people feel.” 12. Why did Myriam Bechtoldt conduct the research? A. To challenge the public assumption. B. To introduce measures to reduce stress. C. To assess the impacts of being emotionally clever. D. To demonstrate how to distinguish different feelings 13. What does the finding indicate? A. Greater emotional cleverness brings a head start in one’s life. B. People may suffer from having a high emotional intelligence. C. People’s psychological well-being is related to various factors. D. Emotional intelligence means an upper hand in job interviews. 14. What do we learn about emotional intelligence from a number of studies? A. Some people may take advantage of it and benefit themselves. B. Some people may lack it and are easily influenced by others. C. People suffering from depression are emotionally immature. D. People who look at the dark side of life are often depressed. 15. What does the author suggest sensitive individuals do? A. Help people to deal with their troubles in life. B. Learn to cope with people’s negative feelings. C. Rid themselves of worries over worldly affairs. D. Avoid burdening themselves with others’ feelings. 【答案】12. C 13. B 14. A 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了一项新的研究表明，对别人的感受敏感有时可能会带来额外的压力。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“But a new study suggests that being sensitive to feelings may sometimes come with an extra dose of stress. This and other research challenge the current view that emotional intelligence is always beneficial to its bearer.(但一项新的研究表明，对感受敏感有时可能会带来额外的压力。这项研究和其他研究挑战了目前的观点，即情商总是对其持有者有益。)”、第二段中的“In a study, psychologists Myriam Bechtoldt of the Frankfurt School of Finance and Management in Germany asked 166 male university students a series of questions to measure their emotional intelligence.(在一项研究中，德国法兰克福金融与管理学院的心理学家Myriam Bechtoldt向166名男大学生提出了一系列问题，以衡量他们的情商。)”和第三段中的“In students who were rated more emotionally intelligent, the stress measures increased more during the experiment and took longer to go back to baseline. The findings suggest that some people may be too emotionally clever for their own good, says Bechtoldt.(在被评为情商更高的学生中，压力测量值在实验过程中增加得更多，并且需要更长的时间才能回到基线。Bechtoldt说，研究结果表明，为了自己好，有些人可能在情感上过于聪明。)”可知，一项新研究表明对感受敏感有时可能会带来额外的压力，Myriam Bechtoldt进行了一项实验，实验发现情商越高，压力值增加越多，并且需要更长时间才能回归基线，由此可推测出，进行这项实验是为了评估情感上聪明会产生的影响。故选C。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“In students who were rated more emotionally intelligent, the stress measures increased more during the experiment and took longer to go back to baseline. The findings suggest that some people may be too emotionally clever for their own good, says Bechtoldt. “Sometimes you can be so good at something that it causes trouble,” she notes.(在被评为情商更高的学生中，压力测量值在实验过程中增加得更多，并且需要更长的时间才能回到基线。Bechtoldt说，研究结果表明，为了自己好，有些人可能在情感上过于聪明。她指出：“有时候你做得太好了，会惹麻烦。”)”可推测出，高情商有时候可能会让人痛苦。故选B。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Furthermore, several studies have implied that emotional intelligence can be used to control others for personal gains.(此外，一些研究表明，情商可以用来操控他人以谋取个人利益。)”可知，一些人可能会利用情商来使自己受益。故选A。 【15题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“Remember, as Bechtoldt says, “you are not responsible for how other people feel.”(记住，正如Bechtoldt所说，“你对别人的感受不负责任。”)”可知，作者建议情绪敏感的人避免自己承担他人的感受。故选D。 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。 Think back to your last presentation. ____16____ And were they engaged in what you were saying? While you may think yourself to be a great speaker, it is not particularly hard to annoy your audience. Here are the top three of annoying habits in a presentation: reading the presentation (37%), having no knowledge of the subject matter (22%), using many “umms” and “uhhs” (16%). So here are some tips to help you avoid these annoying mistakes. The most annoying presentation habit is also one of the easiest to fall victim to. With a visual aid, you tend to look back and read what you have already written. ____17____ By reading your slides, you show no additional information, and therefore give your audience no reason to keep listening once they have finished reading the slide themselves. One guideline I find especially effective is to ensure each slide has no more than six main points, and no more than six words per point. ____18____ When in practice, having slides with flexible layouts and proper pictures is equally important. ____19____ The more prepared you are, the better you can effectively avoid sounding like you’ve never even heard of your topic before. So in order to show your audience you know your stuff, getting ready will make all the difference. The third most annoying habit was using many “umms” and “uhhs”, a symptom of not communicating effectively. This could be a result of stage fright, but more often than not these interjections (感叹词) happen unconsciously. ____20____ One tip for avoiding this is to practice your presentation multiple times beforehand, out loud. The more you practice, the more likely you can catch yourself before letting the “umms” and “uhhs” slip out. A. Was it boring? B Were people interested? C. It helps you to save your time. D. This stops you overloading your slides with information. E. Despite how innocent they seem, they can ruin your credibility. F. Avoiding another annoying habit comes down to one factor: preparation. G. However, all this shows that you can do what your audience can as well. 【答案】16. B 17. G 18. D 19. F 20. E 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章针对演讲不受欢迎的三大原因——读幻灯片、对主题一无所知和使用过多的“嗯”“啊”感叹词——分别给出了建议。 【16题详解】 上文“Think back to your last presentation.(回想一下你上次的演讲。)”提到了回想上一次的演讲；下文“And were they engaged in what you were saying?(他们参与了你所说的吗？)”提出了一个问题：他们有没有参与到你所说的？由此可推知，设空处也应是一个问句。B项“Were people interested?(人们感兴趣吗？)”与下文的they对应。故选B项。 【17题详解】 上文“With a visual aid, you tend to look back and read what you have already written.(最讨厌的演讲习惯也是最容易成为受害者的习惯之一。有了视觉辅助，你倾向于回顾和阅读你已经写过的东西。)”提到了有了视觉辅助，会倾向于回顾和阅读已经写过的东西；下文“By reading your slides, you show no additional information, and therefore give your audience no reason to keep listening once they have finished reading the slide themselves.(通过阅读你的幻灯片，你没有展示额外的信息，因此给你的听众没有理由继续听，一旦他们自己看完幻灯片。)”提到了如果仅仅阅读幻灯片，没有展示额外的信息，那么观众看完幻灯片后就没有理由继续听了。由此可推知，设空处也应与读幻灯片内容有关。G项“However, all this shows is that you can do what your audience can as well.(然而，所有这些都表明，你做了你的观众能做的事情。)”与上下文对应。故选G项。 【18题详解】 上文“One guideline I find especially effective is to ensure each slide has no more than six main points, and no more than six words per point.(我发现一个特别有效的指导方针是确保每张幻灯片不超过6个要点，每个要点不超过6个单词。)”提到了一个方法——确保每张幻灯片不超过6个要点，每个要点不超过6个单词。由此可推知，设空处说明上文这么做的作用。D项“This stops you overloading your slides with information.(这样可以防止幻灯片上的信息过多。)”中的this与上文ensure each slide has no more than six main points, and no more than six words per point对应。故选D项。 【19题详解】 设空处位于段首，下文“The more prepared you are, the better you can effectively avoid sounding like you’ve never even heard of your topic before.(你准备得越充分，你就越能有效地避免听起来好像你以前从未听说过你的话题。)”提到了另一个方法：充分准备。由此可知，设空处应为本段主旨句。F项“Avoiding another annoying habit comes down to one factor: preparation.(避免另一个恼人的习惯可以归结为一个因素：准备。)”与下文对应。故选F项。 【20题详解】 设空处位于段末，上文“The third most annoying habit was using many “umms” and “uhhs”, a symptom of not communicating effectively. This could be a result of stage fright, but more often than not these interjections (感叹词) happen unconsciously.(第三个最讨厌的习惯是不停地“嗯”和“啊”，这是沟通效率低下的表现。这可能是怯场的结果，但更多的时候，这些感叹词是在无意识中发生的。)”提到了一些无意识发生的感叹词，可知，空处要说明这些词产生的不好影响。E项“Despite how innocent they seem, they can ruin your credibility.(不管他们看起来多么无辜，他们都会毁掉你的信誉。)”中的they与上文的interjections对应。故选E项。 第三部分 语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 The joys of the night ride were the joys of feeling present in my body again.

But I had a secret dream that I did not share with anyone: I wanted to learn to play the piano and so that I could sit on a piano bench and perform one day. Days later, I passed our announcement board, which listed items for sale, various jobs, and at the bottom, someone was offering piano lessons. My voice trembled (颤抖) when I called the number the next day. When the tutor named Melody learned that I was the student, she hesitated. She had never taught a busy adult learner, but she was willing to try if I was determined to learn. When my first lesson ended as arranged, Melody opened the door to her next student, a six-year-old boy full of enthusiasm. Melody introduced us and told me his name was Jeff. “I’m going to learn to play the piano,” he told me. No doubts or insecurities got in the boy’s way. His enthusiasm struck me, and on my way home, I whispered, “I’m going to learn to play the piano.” However, I wasn’t a star pupil. I didn’t have instant recall on how to read music. Getting both hands to cooperate was difficult and then I was introduced to the pedal (踏板). Maybe I had been just too psychologically stressed out. Consequently, Melody blamed me for not practicing enough. Therefore, I had to look at my tight schedule to see where I could make time to improve myself. The following week, Melody told me I would need to participate in the December performance and that I had to play by memory. I would have one month to memorize two pieces and I hadn’t even seen them yet! I was in despair and wanted to give up. “It’s the conventional (依照惯例的) way,” Melody said to me in a firm voice, “and even Jeff is memorizing the pieces he is playing. Think why you came here!” 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。 Her words suddenly had reminded me of my secret dream. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ On the day of the performance, I stepped slowly onto the stage. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Her words suddenly had reminded me of my secret dream. I had wanted to play the piano not just to accompany my children but to express myself and to share with them something special that only I could offer. I began to practice diligently. I set aside time every day to practice, even if it was just a few minutes. Gradually, the pieces began to sound more and more like music. I could feel the notes under my fingers and the rhythm in my heartbeat. The final test came. On the day of the performance, I stepped slowly onto the stage. I took a deep breath, and then I began to play. The music flowed from my fingers and filled the room. I played with all my heart, all my passion, all my love for the piano. When the last note sounded, the room erupted into applause. I had done it! I smiled and bowed, feeling proud under the approval and encouragement of the audience. It was a moment of pure joy and triumph that I would remember for a lifetime. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，主要讲述了作者为了实现自己儿时的钢琴梦，在繁忙生活中坚持学习、克服困难，并最终在演出中成功演奏的励志故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“她的话突然让我想起了自己的秘密梦想。”可知，第一段可描写作者如何重拾信心，坚定信念，努力练习钢琴并逐渐进步的过程。 ②由第二段首句内容“演出当天，我缓缓走上舞台。”可知，第二段可描写作者在舞台上的表演情景、情感流露以及最终获得掌声与认可的激动时刻。 2.续写线索：梦想唤醒——刻苦练习——技术提升——登上舞台——音乐表达——成功演出 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①表达：express/convey/voice ②提供：offer/provide/supply ③爆发出掌声：erupt into applause/burst into applause 情绪类 ①热情：passion/enthusiasm ②快乐：joy/happiness/delight 【点睛】【高分句型1】I had wanted to play the piano not just to accompany my children but to express myself and to share with them something special that only I could offer.
