B Every morning at 6 a.m., Mr. Lin’s bamboo char workshop awoke to the rhythm of chisels (凿子). The first strikes echoed through the misty alley of the old town, combining with the distant cries of street dealers who were setting up their stalls. The scent of damp earth and fresh bamboo chips filled the air. Passersby paused to watch his leathery hands dance across the golden strips, their movements both delicate and assured. One day, I found him bent over a half-woven chair frame, humming an opera tune from his youth. Sunlight cut through dust motes, catching the sweat on his brow as he cut a stubborn strip with precision. “Bamboo remembers,” he said, tapping its smooth surface with a rough finger. “Cut too fast, it splits; too slow, it laughs at your hesitation.” His tools — worn smooth by forty winters — moved with the certainty of tides, their edges polished by years of patience and practice. By noon, tourists crowded his display window, taking photos of chairs labeled “Handcrafted: 58hours.” A college student laughed, “Why not use machines?” Mr. Lin smiled and plucked a factory-made chair from the corner. “Sit,” he invited. The student shifted uncomfortably on its uneven legs. “Machines don’t feel the bamboo’s song,” Mr. Lin explained, running fingers along his own creation’s seamless curves. At dusk, he applied the final coat of tung (梧桐) oil, transforming pale bamboo into golden liquid. His wife brought tea, whispering, “The landlord’s raising rent again.” He gazed at his workshop’s cracked walls, then at the chair made to be a newborn’s nursery. “We’ll manage,” he decided. As night fell, electric saws roared from distant furniture factories. But there, under a single bulb, Mr. Lin’s chisel continued its ancient conversation — bit by bit, bending time into something that lasted. 4. What kind of place does Paragraph One describe? A. A lonely workshop ignored by visitors. B. An old street marked by craft rhythms. C. A large town characterized by bamboo production. D. An energetic marketplace filled with dealers. 5. Which of the following words can best describe Mr. Lin? A. Patient and modest. B. Creative and humorous. C. Dedicated and skillful. D. Efficient and ambitious. 6. What can we infer from the last two paragraphs? A. The rising rent forced him to raise chair prices. B. Craft skills preservation mattered a lot to Mr. Lin. C. His wife disapproved of his dedication to bamboo craft. D. Mr. Lin would close his workshop due to financial pressure. 7. What is the best title for the text? A. The Song of the Chair Maker. B. The Daily Life of a Factory Worker. C. The Future of Bamboo Furniture. D. The Struggles of a Traditional Business. C J. D. Salinger’s The Catcher in the Rye remains a classic novel of adolescent rebellion and isolation, connecting with generations since its 1951 publication. Through the voice of Holden Caulfield, a teenager kicked out of prep school, Salinger captures the raw emotions of youth — anger, confusion, and a desperate search for realness in a world he dismisses as “phoney”. The novel’s lasting power lies not in grand adventures but in its intimate portrayal of Holden’s internal struggles, which reflect universal teenage experiences. Holden’s journey through New York City acts as a psychological exploration. He criticizes the hypocrisy (虚伪) of the adult world, mocks social expectations, and fantasizes about escaping to a simpler life “away from all the nonsense.” Yet beneath his cynical (愤世嫉俗的) appearance lies vulnerability. Symbolism deepens the novel’s exploration of innocence and loss. The repeated image of the “catcher in the rye” — Holden’s fantasy of saving children from falling off a cliff — symbolizes his wish to preserve childhood innocence. His repeated visits to the Museum of Natural History, where displays stay unchanged, reveal his ingoing for stability. The ducks in Central Park’s lake, which mysteriously disappear each winter, mirror Holden’s anxiety about life’s uncertainties. Even the novel’s controversial language, criticized when first published and briefly defended later in one publisher’s preface (序言) as “authentic adolescent voice”, serves as a rebellion against social norms, making Holden’s voice feel startlingly real. Though set in the 1950s, The Catcher in the Rye continues to speak to modern teenagers. In an era dominated by social media and artificial identities, Holden’s hatred of hypocrisy feels strikingly relatable. Unlike today’s digital interactions, Holden’s handwritten letters and face-to-face encounters in the novel emphasize the original and pure nature of human connection. Salinger’s refusal to romanticize adolescence — offering no easy answers to Holden’s pain — challenges readers to confront their own struggles with growing up. The novel endures not as a relic but as a timeless conversation about the confusion and struggles of youth. 8. Where is the text most probably taken from? A. A comment on modern education. B. A book review of Salinger’s novel. C. A publisher’s preface for a special edition. D. A psychological study on teenage rebellion. 9. What does the underlined word “phoney” in paragraph 1 most likely mean? A Fake. B. Dangerous. C. Traditional. D. Complicated. 10. According to paragraph 3, what does the image “catcher in the rye” represent? A. Holden’s admiration for rural life. B. Holden’s desire to escape society. C. Holden’s criticism of education systems. D. Holden’s wish to protect childhood purity. 11. What does Salinger agree with according to the final paragraph? A. Adolescence deserves romanticizing. B. Genuine human connections are vital. C. Social media fosters sincere connections. D. Teenagers require straightforward life solutions. D Dreams are pure emotional and cognitive gold. Those often super-realistic, broken images and plot lines that can instantly disappear when we open our eyes, allow us not only to explore the themes and challenges of our day, but to step into the what-ifs of tomorrow. Whether we remember our dreams or not, our brain and dreams are multi-tasking to the maximum extent while we sleep. Together, they are weakening negative ones, improving our stress recovery ability, cognitive function, problem-solving capabilities and our mental health, all of which explain the emotional rollercoaster that can come with sleep deprivation (剥夺). When we don’t get enough sleep, we’re robbed of those invaluable sleep-dependent advantages that give us a depth of insight and emotional processing. Not all dreams are made equal. It’s the vivid dreams that take place during our rapid eye movement (REM) sleep, in the second half of the night, that really deliver when it comes to building our emotional recovery ability. The less vivid, non-rapid eye movement (NREM) dreams that occur when we first go to sleep have their own vital learning and memory-consolidating role to play, too. But if we haven’t had enough sleep, we’re likely to be short of REM, with consequences that can carry into our day. According to dream theorists Robert Stickgold and Antonio Zadra, there are two standout benefits we get from our dream life. First, the narratives we create that allow us to travel in time — “to experience the thoughts, sensations and emotions generated by those narratives” — effectively rehearsing (排练) and actually experiencing the what-ifs of our life. And second, the space that dreams create where we can not only imagine possible events, but where we’re free “to plan, to plot, to explore”. In our virtual REM world, our brain searches through memories, making connections to help process daily worries and find solutions, so that once we’ve “slept on it”, we can definitely have a much deeper and greater perspective. 12. Why does the author mention “emotional rollercoaster” in paragraph 2? A. To describe the fun of dreaming vividly. B. To show why people enjoy rollercoasters. C. To highlight the risks of inadequate sleep. D. To explain how dreams process daily worries. 13. What happens if REM sleep is reduced? A. More vivid NREM dreams. B. Worse daytime emotions. C. Faster memory formation. D. Longer deep sleep time. 14. What do dreams help us do according to Stickgold? A. Forget bad experiences. B. Make memories stronger. C. Increase sleep time. D. Practice future situations. 15. What message does the author mainly convey? A. Nightmares harm mental health. B. Dreams strengthen mind and emotions. C. REM sleep is the key to emotional balance. D. Eight hours’ sleep is needed to improve health. 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能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Culture Shock Culture shock is an experience a person may have when one moves to a cultural environment which is different from one’s own. ___16___ Culture shock consists of four distinct phases: honeymoon, negotiation, adjustment, and mastery.

One starts to develop problem-solving skills and begins to accept new culture with a positive attitude. ___19___ Negative reactions and responses to the culture are reduced. Mastery.

He was looking for the girl whose heart he knew, but whose face he didn’t, the girl with the rose. When reading a book in a Florida library a year before, John became interested not in the contents of the book, but in the notes penciled in the margin (空白处). The handwriting reflected a thoughtful soul and a beautiful mind. He discovered the former owner’s name in the front of the book: Miss Hollis Maynell. He located her address and wrote a letter introducing himself. The next day he was shipped overseas to serve in the army. During the next year, they grew to know each other through the mail and their friendship developed. The topics of their conversation ranged from sports to poetry. Far away from home, John was delighted to have a friend who he could relate to. He once requested a photograph, but she refused, saying if they could truly talk, it wouldn’t matter what she looked like. When the day finally came for him to return home, their first meeting was suggested — 7: 00 p. m. at the Grand Central Station in New York. She wrote, “You’ll recognize me by the red rose I wear on my coat.” So now John was in the station to meet the girl with a rose. As a pretty and slim girl in green came over, John noticed her blue eyes like flowers in spring. He walked directly towards her, entirely forgetting she was not wearing a rose. As John came closer to her, he saw another woman with a red rose standing nearby. Well past 40, this woman had graying hair done under a worn hat. Seeing the girl in green walk quickly away, John felt as if he were split (劈开) in two. He desired to follow that girl, but longed for the woman whose spirit had truly accompanied and supported him. 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。 Finally John approached the woman with the red rose, who was wearing a smile. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Entering the cafe across the road, he saw the charming girl sitting by the window. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 重庆市第八中学2025届高考适应性月考卷（七） 英语试题 注意事项： 1．答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号等填写在答题卡和试卷指定位置上。 2．每小题选出答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。在试题卷上作答无效。 3．考试结束后，请将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。满分150分，考试用时120分钟。 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 注意，听力部分答题时，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．What will the woman do for the man?

The first strikes echoed through the misty alley of the old town, combining with the distant cries of street dealers who were setting up their stalls. The scent of damp earth and fresh bamboo chips filled the air. Passersby paused to watch his leathery hands dance across the golden strips, their movements both delicate and assured. One day, I found him bent over a half-woven chair frame, humming an opera tune from his youth. Sunlight cut through dust motes, catching the sweat on his brow as he cut a stubborn strip with precision. “Bamboo remembers,” he said, tapping its smooth surface with a rough finger. “Cut too fast, it splits; too slow, it laughs at your hesitation.” His tools — worn smooth by forty winters — moved with the certainty of tides, their edges polished by years of patience and practice. By noon, tourists crowded his display window, taking photos of chairs labeled “Handcrafted: 58hours.” A college student laughed, “Why not use machines?” Mr. Lin smiled and plucked a factory-made chair from the corner. “Sit,” he invited. The student shifted uncomfortably on its uneven legs. “Machines don’t feel the bamboo’s song,” Mr. Lin explained, running fingers along his own creation’s seamless curves. At dusk, he applied the final coat of tung (梧桐) oil, transforming pale bamboo into golden liquid. His wife brought tea, whispering, “The landlord’s raising rent again.” He gazed at his workshop’s cracked walls, then at the chair made to be a newborn’s nursery. “We’ll manage,” he decided. As night fell, electric saws roared from distant furniture factories. But there, under a single bulb, Mr. Lin’s chisel continued its ancient conversation — bit by bit, bending time into something that lasted. 4. What kind of place does Paragraph One describe? A. A lonely workshop ignored by visitors. B. An old street marked by craft rhythms. C. A large town characterized by bamboo production. D. An energetic marketplace filled with dealers. 5. Which of the following words can best describe Mr. Lin? A. Patient and modest. B. Creative and humorous. C. Dedicated and skillful. D. Efficient and ambitious. 6. What can we infer from the last two paragraphs? A. The rising rent forced him to raise chair prices. B. Craft skills preservation mattered a lot to Mr. Lin. C. His wife disapproved of his dedication to bamboo craft. D. Mr. Lin would close his workshop due to financial pressure. 7. What is the best title for the text? A. The Song of the Chair Maker. B. The Daily Life of a Factory Worker. C. The Future of Bamboo Furniture. D. The Struggles of a Traditional Business. 【答案】4. B 5. C 6. B 7. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了林先生在老城区坚守传统竹编手艺的故事。通过描述他一天的工作场景、与他人的交流以及面对困境的态度，展现了他对竹编工艺的执着与热爱。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Every morning at 6 a.m., Mr. Lin’s bamboo char workshop awoke to the rhythm of chisels (凿子). The first strikes echoed through the misty alley of the old town, combining with the distant cries of street dealers who were setting up their stalls.(每天早上 6 点，林先生的竹编工坊在凿子的节奏声中苏醒。最初的敲击声在老城区雾气弥漫的小巷中回荡，与远处摆摊商贩的叫卖声交织在一起。)” 可知，第一段描述的是一条充满手工艺节奏的老街。故选B。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“His tools — worn smooth by forty winters — moved with the certainty of tides, their edges polished by years of patience and practice.(他的工具 —— 被四十个寒冬磨得光滑 —— 像潮水一样笃定地移动着，其刃口被多年的耐心和实践打磨得锋利无比。)” 可知林先生很有耐心且技艺娴熟；根据第三段 “Mr. Lin smiled and plucked a factory-made chair from the corner. “Sit,” he invited. The student shifted uncomfortably on its uneven legs. “Machines don’t feel the bamboo’s song,” Mr. Lin explained, running fingers along his own creation’s seamless curves.(林先生微笑着从角落里拿出一把工厂生产的椅子。“坐”他邀请道。学生坐在高低不平的椅子腿上，不舒服地挪动着。“机器感受不到竹子的歌声”林先生解释道，手指沿着自己作品光滑的曲线滑动。)” 体现出他对自己手艺的自信与专注，全身心投入到竹编工艺中，即专注且技艺精湛。故选C。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段 “His wife brought tea, whispering, “The landlord’s raising rent again.” He gazed at his workshop’s cracked walls, then at the chair made to be a newborn’s nursery. “We’ll manage,” he decided.(他的妻子端来茶，低声说：“房东又要涨房租了”他凝视着工坊开裂的墙壁，然后看向为新生儿准备的摇篮椅。“我们会有办法的”他下定决心。)” 以及最后一段 “As night fell, electric saws roared from distant furniture factories. But there, under a single bulb, Mr. Lin’s chisel continued its ancient conversation — bit by bit, bending time into something that lasted.(夜幕降临，远处家具厂的电锯轰鸣。但在那里，在一盏孤灯下，林先生的凿子继续着它古老的对话 —— 一点一点地，将时间塑造成永恒。)” 可知，尽管面临房租上涨等经济压力，林先生依然决定继续坚持，表明传承手艺对他来说非常重要。故选B。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Every morning at 6 a.m., Mr. Lin’s bamboo char workshop awoke to the rhythm of chisels (凿子). The first strikes echoed through the misty alley of the old town, combining with the distant cries of street dealers who were setting up their stalls.(每天早上 6 点，林先生的竹编工坊在凿子的节奏声中苏醒。最初的敲击声在老城区雾气弥漫的小巷中回荡，与远处摆摊商贩的叫卖声交织在一起。)”根据第三段““Machines don’t feel the bamboo’s song,(机器感受不到竹子的歌声”)”以及最后一段“As night fell, electric saws roared from distant furniture factories. But there, under a single bulb, Mr. Lin’s chisel continued its ancient conversation — bit by bit, bending time into something that lasted.(夜幕降临，远处家具厂的电锯轰鸣。但在那里，在一盏孤灯下，林先生的凿子继续着它古老的对话 —— 一点一点地，将时间塑造成永恒。)”可知，短文主要讲述了林先生在老城区坚守传统竹编手艺的故事。通过描述他一天的工作场景、与他人的交流以及面对困境的态度，展现了他对竹编工艺的执着与热爱。所以短文的最佳标题为“椅匠的歌谣”。“椅匠” 直接点明主人公的身份 —— 专注手工制作竹椅的匠人。“歌谣” 暗合文中反复出现的 “声音” 意象：凿子敲击竹条的 “节奏”（rhythm of chisels）是 “时光的节拍”，竹子被赋予的 “歌声”（bamboo’s song）是传统工艺的灵魂，而匠人四十年如一日的坚守，则化作一曲对抗工业化浪潮的 “古老歌谣”。故选A。 C J. D. Salinger’s The Catcher in the Rye remains a classic novel of adolescent rebellion and isolation, connecting with generations since its 1951 publication. Through the voice of Holden Caulfield, a teenager kicked out of prep school, Salinger captures the raw emotions of youth — anger, confusion, and a desperate search for realness in a world he dismisses as “phoney”. The novel’s lasting power lies not in grand adventures but in its intimate portrayal of Holden’s internal struggles, which reflect universal teenage experiences. Holden’s journey through New York City acts as a psychological exploration. He criticizes the hypocrisy (虚伪) of the adult world, mocks social expectations, and fantasizes about escaping to a simpler life “away from all the nonsense.” Yet beneath his cynical (愤世嫉俗的) appearance lies vulnerability. Symbolism deepens the novel’s exploration of innocence and loss. The repeated image of the “catcher in the rye” — Holden’s fantasy of saving children from falling off a cliff — symbolizes his wish to preserve childhood innocence. His repeated visits to the Museum of Natural History, where displays stay unchanged, reveal his ingoing for stability. The ducks in Central Park’s lake, which mysteriously disappear each winter, mirror Holden’s anxiety about life’s uncertainties. Even the novel’s controversial language, criticized when first published and briefly defended later in one publisher’s preface (序言) as “authentic adolescent voice”, serves as a rebellion against social norms, making Holden’s voice feel startlingly real. Though set in the 1950s, The Catcher in the Rye continues to speak to modern teenagers. In an era dominated by social media and artificial identities, Holden’s hatred of hypocrisy feels strikingly relatable. Unlike today’s digital interactions, Holden’s handwritten letters and face-to-face encounters in the novel emphasize the original and pure nature of human connection. Salinger’s refusal to romanticize adolescence — offering no easy answers to Holden’s pain — challenges readers to confront their own struggles with growing up. The novel endures not as a relic but as a timeless conversation about the confusion and struggles of youth. 8. Where is the text most probably taken from? A. A comment on modern education. B. A book review of Salinger’s novel. C. A publisher’s preface for a special edition. D. A psychological study on teenage rebellion. 9. What does the underlined word “phoney” in paragraph 1 most likely mean? A. Fake. B. Dangerous. C. Traditional. D. Complicated. 10. According to paragraph 3, what does the image “catcher in the rye” represent? A. Holden’s admiration for rural life. B. Holden’s desire to escape society. C. Holden’s criticism of education systems. D. Holden’s wish to protect childhood purity. 11. What does Salinger agree with according to the final paragraph? A. Adolescence deserves romanticizing. B. Genuine human connections are vital. C. Social media fosters sincere connections. D. Teenagers require straightforward life solutions. 【答案】8. B 9. A 10. D 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇书评，主要分析 J.D. 塞林格的小说《麦田里的守望者》，探讨其主题、象征意义及对现代青少年的共鸣。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“J. D. Salinger’s The Catcher in the Rye remains a classic novel of adolescent rebellion and isolation(J.D. 塞林格的《麦田里的守望者》仍是一部关于青少年叛逆与孤独的经典小说)”、第三段“Symbolism deepens the novel’s exploration of innocence and loss(象征主义深化了小说对纯真与失落的探索)”及第四段“Though set in the 1950s, The Catcher in the Rye continues to speak to modern teenagers(尽管背景设定在 20 世纪 50 年代，《麦田里的守望者》仍能引起现代青少年的共鸣)”可知，全文始终以文学评论的视角分析小说的内容、手法及社会意义，符合书评的体裁特征。故选B。 【9题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第一段“Through the voice of Holden Caulfield, a teenager kicked out of prep school, Salinger captures the raw emotions of youth — anger, confusion, and a desperate search for realness in a world he dismisses as ‘phoney’.(通过被预科学校开除的少年霍尔顿・考尔菲德的视角，塞林格捕捉到了年轻人的原始情感 —— 愤怒、困惑，以及在一个被他斥为 “phony” 的世界中对真实的绝望追寻)可知，霍尔顿追求 “realness(真实)”，所以与之相反的“phoney” 意思应该是 “虚假的”。故选A。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段 “The repeated image of the “catcher in the rye” — Holden’s fantasy of saving children from falling off a cliff — symbolizes his wish to preserve childhood innocence.(“麦田里的守望者”——霍尔顿从悬崖上拯救孩子的幻想——的形象反复出现，象征着他希望保持童年的纯真)”可知，“麦田里的守望者”这个形象代表霍尔顿保护童年纯真的愿望。故选D。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段 “Unlike today’s digital interactions, Holden’s handwritten letters and face - to - face encounters in the novel emphasize the original and pure nature of human connection.(与如今的数字互动不同，小说中霍尔顿的手写书信和面对面交流强调了人际交往的本真和纯粹)” 可推断，塞林格认同真正的人际交往至关重要。故选B。 D Dreams are pure emotional and cognitive gold. Those often super-realistic, broken images and plot lines that can instantly disappear when we open our eyes, allow us not only to explore the themes and challenges of our day, but to step into the what-ifs of tomorrow. Whether we remember our dreams or not, our brain and dreams are multi-tasking to the maximum extent while we sleep. Together, they are weakening negative ones, improving our stress recovery ability, cognitive function, problem-solving capabilities and our mental health, all of which explain the emotional rollercoaster that can come with sleep deprivation (剥夺). When we don’t get enough sleep, we’re robbed of those invaluable sleep-dependent advantages that give us a depth of insight and emotional processing. Not all dreams are made equal. It’s the vivid dreams that take place during our rapid eye movement (REM) sleep, in the second half of the night, that really deliver when it comes to building our emotional recovery ability. The less vivid, non-rapid eye movement (NREM) dreams that occur when we first go to sleep have their own vital learning and memory-consolidating role to play, too. But if we haven’t had enough sleep, we’re likely to be short of REM, with consequences that can carry into our day. According to dream theorists Robert Stickgold and Antonio Zadra, there are two standout benefits we get from our dream life. First, the narratives we create that allow us to travel in time — “to experience the thoughts, sensations and emotions generated by those narratives” — effectively rehearsing (排练) and actually experiencing the what-ifs of our life. And second, the space that dreams create where we can not only imagine possible events, but where we’re free “to plan, to plot, to explore”. In our virtual REM world, our brain searches through memories, making connections to help process daily worries and find solutions, so that once we’ve “slept on it”, we can definitely have a much deeper and greater perspective. 12. Why does the author mention “emotional rollercoaster” in paragraph 2? A. To describe the fun of dreaming vividly. B. To show why people enjoy rollercoasters. C. To highlight the risks of inadequate sleep. D. To explain how dreams process daily worries. 13. What happens if REM sleep is reduced? A. More vivid NREM dreams. B. Worse daytime emotions. C. Faster memory formation. D. Longer deep sleep time. 14. What do dreams help us do according to Stickgold? A. Forget bad experiences. B. Make memories stronger. C. Increase sleep time. D. Practice future situations. 15. What message does the author mainly convey? A. Nightmares harm mental health. B. Dreams strengthen mind and emotions. C. REM sleep is the key to emotional balance. D. Eight hours’ sleep is needed to improve health. 【答案】12. C 13. B 14. D 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了梦通过REM和NREM睡眠增强情绪调节、认知能力和心理韧性，并帮助人们预演未来情境，睡眠不足则会损害这些益处。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“Together, they are weakening negative ones, improving our stress recovery ability, cognitive function, problem-solving capabilities and our mental health, all of which explain the emotional rollercoaster that can come with sleep deprivation (剥夺). (它们共同作用，削弱负面情绪，提升我们的压力恢复能力、认知功能、解决问题的能力和心理健康——这一切都解释了为什么睡眠不足会让人情绪像坐过山车一样起伏不定)”可知，睡眠不足会剥夺睡眠给我们带来的各种益处，导致情绪波动。由此推知，作者提到“情绪过山车”来强调睡眠不足的危害。故选C项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“It’s the vivid dreams that take place during our rapid eye movement (REM) sleep, in the second half of the night, that really deliver when it comes to building our emotional recovery ability. (真正能提升我们情绪恢复能力的，是发生在后半夜快速眼动(REM)睡眠阶段的那些生动梦境)”和“But if we haven’t had enough sleep, we’re likely to be short of REM, with consequences that can carry into our day. (但如果我们睡眠不足，就可能缺乏REM睡眠，这种影响会持续到我们白天的状态)”可知，REM睡眠对情绪恢复至关重要，其减少会导致白天的情绪问题。故选B项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“First, the narratives we create that allow us to travel in time — “to experience the thoughts, sensations and emotions generated by those narratives” — effectively rehearsing (排练) and actually experiencing the what-ifs of our life. (首先，我们构建的这些叙事让我们得以穿越时空——“体验这些叙事所产生的思想、感知和情绪”——这实际上就是在预演和真实体验我们人生中的各种可能性)”可知，Stickgold认为梦帮助人们练习未来情境。故选D项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段“Dreams are pure emotional and cognitive gold. Those often super-realistic, broken images and plot lines that can instantly disappear when we open our eyes, allow us not only to explore the themes and challenges of our day, but to step into the what-ifs of tomorrow. (梦境是纯粹的情感和认知宝藏。那些常常超现实、支离破碎的画面和情节，在我们睁眼瞬间就会消失，却不仅能让我们探索白天的主题与挑战，更能让我们踏入未来的种种可能性)”可知，文章主要说明梦对情绪恢复、认知功能和心理健康至关重要，且能帮助预演未来，睡眠不足则会损害这些益处。因此，作者主要传达了“梦强化心智和情绪”。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能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Culture Shock Culture shock is an experience a person may have when one moves to a cultural environment which is different from one’s own. ___16___ Culture shock consists of four distinct phases: honeymoon, negotiation, adjustment, and mastery. Honeymoon. During this period, the differences between the old culture and the new one are seen in a romantic light. For example, in moving to a new country, an individual might love the new food, the pace of life, and the locals’ habits. During the first few weeks, most people are fascinated by the new culture. ___17___ However, like most honeymoon periods, this stage eventually ends. Negotiation. After usually around three months, differences between the old and new cultures become apparent and may create anxiety. ___18___ The most important change in the period is communication: People often feel lonely and homesick because they are not yet used to the new environment. Adjustment. Again, after usually 6 to 12 months, one grows accustomed to the new culture and develops routines. One knows what to expect in most situations and the host country no longer feels all that new. One starts to develop problem-solving skills and begins to accept new culture with a positive attitude. ___19___ Negative reactions and responses to the culture are reduced. Mastery. In this period, individuals are able to participate fully and comfortably in the host culture. Mastery does not mean total conversion; people often keep many traits from their earlier culture, such as accents and languages while they immerse themselves in new culture. ___20___ A. The culture begins to make sense. B. This stage is also called the bicultural stage. C. It is the result of being in an unfamiliar environment. D. The first step is to ask yourself “what is culture shock?” E. They associate with locals who are polite to the foreigners. F. Excitement eventually gives way to unpleasant feelings of frustration. G. Knowing about the culture of the host country in advance, you’ll be less shocked. 【答案】16. C 17. E 18. F 19. A 20. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了文化冲击，包括其含义、成因及四个阶段的具体表现。 【16题详解】 前文“Culture shock is an experience a person may have when one moves to a cultural environment which is different from one’s own. (文化冲击是指一个人搬到一个与自己的文化环境不同的地方时所经历的一种体验)”介绍文化冲击的含义，此处应解释文化冲击的成因，因此C项“It is the result of being in an unfamiliar environment. (这是身处陌生环境的结果)”符合语境，承接前文，其中的It指代前文的Culture shock。故选C。 【17题详解】 前文“For example, in moving to a new country, an individual might love the new food, the pace of life, and the locals’ habits. During the first few weeks, most people are fascinated by the new culture. (例如，搬到一个新的国家，一个人可能会喜欢新的食物，生活节奏和当地人的习惯。在最初的几个星期里，大多数人都被这种新文化迷住了)”举例说明蜜月期人们会喜欢新环境中的事物，迷恋新文化，此处应继续说明这一时期人们的具体表现，因此E项“They associate with locals who are polite to the foreigners. (他们开始与对外国人友好的当地人交往)”符合语境，承接前文，其中的They指代前文的most people。故选E。 【18题详解】 前文“After usually around three months, differences between the old and new cultures become apparent and may create anxiety. (通常在三个月后，新旧文化之间的差异变得明显，并可能产生焦虑)”提到这一时期人们会因为文化差异而焦虑，后文“The most important change in the period is communication: People often feel lonely and homesick because they are not yet used to the new environment. (这个时期最重要的变化是沟通：人们经常感到孤独和想家，因为他们还不习惯新的环境)”指出人们会感到孤独和想家，此处是过渡句，应描述人们感受的转变，因此F项“Excitement eventually gives way to unpleasant feelings of frustration. (兴奋最终会让位于沮丧的不快感)”符合语境，承前启后。故选F。 【19题详解】 前文“One starts to develop problem-solving skills and begins to accept new culture with a positive attitude. (一个人开始发展解决问题的能力，并开始以积极的态度接受新的文化)”提到这一时期人们开始接受新文化，后文“Negative reactions and responses to the culture are reduced. (对该文化的负面反应和抵触情绪会逐渐减少)”指出人们不再抵触新文化，此处是过渡句，应说明人们开始理解新文化，因此A项“The culture begins to make sense. (文化开始变得可理解)”符合语境，承前启后。故选A。 【20题详解】 前文“Mastery does not mean total conversion; people often keep many traits from their earlier culture, such as accents and languages while they immerse themselves in new culture. (精通新文化并不意味着完全同化；人们在融入新文化的同时，往往仍会保留许多原有文化的特质，比如口音和语言习惯)”指出这一时期人们既融入新文化，也保留原有文化的特质，此处是段末句，应总结这一时期的特征，因此B项“This stage is also called the bicultural stage. (这个阶段也被称为双文化阶段)”符合语境，承接前文。故选B。 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和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 If I hadn’t been a struggling violinist, I might never have become a writer.

He was looking for the girl whose heart he knew, but whose face he didn’t, the girl with the rose. When reading a book in a Florida library a year before, John became interested not in the contents of the book, but in the notes penciled in the margin (空白处). The handwriting reflected a thoughtful soul and a beautiful mind. He discovered the former owner’s name in the front of the book: Miss Hollis Maynell. He located her address and wrote a letter introducing himself. The next day he was shipped overseas to serve in the army. During the next year, they grew to know each other through the mail and their friendship developed. The topics of their conversation ranged from sports to poetry. Far away from home, John was delighted to have a friend who he could relate to. He once requested a photograph, but she refused, saying if they could truly talk, it wouldn’t matter what she looked like. When the day finally came for him to return home, their first meeting was suggested — 7: 00 p. m. at the Grand Central Station in New York. She wrote, “You’ll recognize me by the red rose I wear on my coat.” So now John was in the station to meet the girl with a rose. As a pretty and slim girl in green came over, John noticed her blue eyes like flowers in spring. He walked directly towards her, entirely forgetting she was not wearing a rose. As John came closer to her, he saw another woman with a red rose standing nearby. Well past 40, this woman had graying hair done under a worn hat. Seeing the girl in green walk quickly away, John felt as if he were split (劈开) in two. He desired to follow that girl, but longed for the woman whose spirit had truly accompanied and supported him. 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。 Finally John approached the woman with the red rose, who was wearing a smile. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Entering the cafe across the road, he saw the charming girl sitting by the window. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Finally John approached the woman with the red rose, who was wearing a smile. Standing before the woman, he felt his pulse quickening. “Miss Maynell? ” he asked, offering the book with her name inscribed inside. “I don’t know what this is about. But the lady in green who just went by begged me to wear this rose on my coat,” she explained, gesturing to the flower pinned to her coat. John’s breath caught, eyes widened in disbelief. Noticing his bewilderment, the woman continued gently, “She said if you walked straight to me, then you would find her waiting for you in the cafe across the street.” Her words dissolved his hesitation. Clutching the book tighter, he thanked her and turned toward the cafe. Entering the cafe across the road, he saw the charming girl sitting by the window. She glanced up as John entered, her smile blooming like the rose she had promised to wear. It took them almost no time to get over the initial unfamiliarity. Soon they began to speak of margin notes and wartime letters, laughter weaving through their conversation like sunlight through leaves. When asked why she hadn’t shown up with the rose, she simply said, “I need to know you are someone who looks not just with his eyes.” “Sometimes the beautiful heart writes in invisible ink,” he replied, with fingers tracing the book’s weathered edges. Golden light spilled through the window, cast over the two souls recognizing each other across time and disguise. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，约翰・布兰查德在图书馆因书中批注结识霍利斯・梅内尔，通过书信往来建立友谊，约定见面后，面对不同外貌的两位女士，做出了基于精神共鸣的选择，最终与真正的霍利斯相见的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“最后，约翰走近那个面带微笑、戴红玫瑰的女人。”可知，第一段可描约翰与戴红玫瑰女士对话，了解女孩安排真相，知晓女孩所在位置。 ②由第二段首句内容“他走进马路对面的咖啡馆，看见那位迷人的姑娘坐在窗边。”可知，第二段可描写约翰进入咖啡馆与女孩见面，两人交流，分享彼此想法，增进了解。 2.续写线索：约翰走向戴红玫瑰的女士——女士告知约翰这是女孩的考验，女孩在对面咖啡馆等他——约翰前往咖啡馆——见到女孩并坐下交谈——双方分享想法，情感进一步升华 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①提供：offer / provide ②注意：notice / spot ③开花：bloom / flourish 情绪类 难以置信地：in disbelief/incredulously/dumbfounded 温柔地：gently /softly 【点睛】【高分句型 1】Noticing his bewilderment, the woman continued gently, “She said if you walked straight to me, then you would find her waiting for you in the cafe across the street.”（运用了现在分词短语作状语，省略了连接词that的宾语从句以及if引导的条件状语从句） 【高分句型 2】When asked why she hadn’t shown up with the rose, she simply said, “I need to know you are someone who looks not just with his eyes.”（运用了时间状语从句的省略，以及why引导的宾语从句和who引导的定语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
