Avebury, Wiltshire This village is the proud home of the largest stone circle in Europe. Built during the New Stone Age (around 3000 BC), archaeologists think it was used to comfort the powers of nature. The nearby Avebury Manor let people know how the village developed over the centuries. Unlike others, visitors are welcome to sit on the chairs, and lie on the beds. Skara Brae, Orkney Islands Older than Stonehenge and the Great Pyramid of Giza, Skara Brae is unusually well-kept. So much so that it’s been described as the most remarkable prehistoric monument in all of Europe. The Neolithic village— which was first occupied around 3180 BC—is made up of eight round houses, connected by a series of small passages. The village was home to farmers, hunters and fishermen and the network of homes includes a workshop and prison. Be sure to wrap up warm against the fierce Orkney winds. Butser Ancient Farm, Hampshire Experimental archaeologist Dr Peter J Reynolds founded Butser Ancient Farm in 1970 with a special vision: to create a working ancient farm where fellow archaeologists could explore their theories on how people lived and worked during the Iron Age. Near South Downs National Park, the farm builds ancient houses based on real archaeological sites from around the country. Maiden Castle Maiden Castle is one of the largest and most complex Iron Age hill forts (要塞) in Britain. It has an area of about 450,000 square meters, and the site was home to several hundred people in the Iron Age (800 BC—AD 43). 1. What may Avebury be built for? A. Building home for most villagers. B. Becoming the largest stone circle. C. Trying to comfort nature’s power. D. Showing the development of the village. 2. Which of the following should we choose if we want to see round buildings? A. Avebury. B. Skara Brae. C. Butser Ancient Farm. D. Maiden Castle. 3. What can we know about Maiden Castle? A. It’s the world largest Iron Age hill fort B. It used to be hundreds of people’s home. C. It still keeps some old iron tools. D. It looks very large and shining. 【答案】1. C 2. B 3. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章介绍了了英国四个著名的历史古迹。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章Avebury, Wiltshire部分的“archaeologists think it was used to comfort the powers of nature(考古学家认为它是用来安慰大自然的力量的)”可知，考古学家认为建Avebury是被用来安慰大自然的力量。故选C。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章Skara Brae, Orkney Islands部分的“The Neolithic village— which was first occupied around 3180 BC—is made up of eight round houses, connected by a series of small passages.(这个新石器时代的村庄——大约在公元前3180年首次有人居住——由8个圆形房屋组成，由一系列的小通道连接。)”可知，Skara Brae是由八个圆形的房子组成的。所以 如果我们想看到原形的建筑，我们应该选择Skara Brae。故选B。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章Maiden Castle部分的“the site was home to several hundred people 6 the Iron Age(该遗址在铁器时代曾是几百人的家园)”可知，该遗址在铁器时代是数百人的家园。故选B。 B An internationally praised cultural thing has introduced the attractive tale of Sun Wukong to audiences worldwide. But for Ghaffar Pourazar, a British-American dual citizen living in California; this legendary figure has been a part of his identity for decades. Pourazar’s lifelong passion for Peking Opera began by chance. In 1993, Pourazar attended a performance at London’s Queen Elizabeth Hall and was instantly captured. He went backstage right after the show and made friends with the Chinese performers. With their help, Pourazar registered for an opera school. Just three months later, he left his life in Britain behind and moved to Beijing to train in the martial roles of the art. Starting as an adult was not easy as Peking Opera is a complex mixture of vocal performance, mime, martial arts, dance and acrobatics. In addition to the physical demands, mastering the Chinese language posed another problem. “I was constantly reciting the subtitles and songs, whether I was eating, bathing, walking, or even dreaming,” Pourazar said. Pourazar believes that great art transcends (超越) languages. Over the years, he has dedicated himself to introducing Peking Opera and Sun Wukong to international audiences. He has also been teaching courses and organizing workshops in the United States, bringing Peking Opera to curious Western learners. To better connect with Western audiences and learners, he adapted some classic plays such as The Monkey King: Uproar in Heaven into English versions and he also adapted Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream into Peking Opera. In recognition of his contributions, Pourazar received the Great Wall Friendship Award from the Beijing government in 2014. “Cultural exchange should be reciprocal (互惠的). I aim to blend my expertise in opera with my multicultural background to create enriching artistic experiences for the audiences,” said Pourazar. 4. What is the author’s intention of writing paragraph 1? A. To prove Ghaffar Pourazar’s achievement. B. To introduce a cultural influence on an individual. C. To explain the cultural significance of Sun Wukong. D. To highlight the fascination of ancient Chinese tales. 5. What do we know about Pourazar’s experience of learning Peking Opera? A. Language was a significant barrier for him. B. The performers he met backstage taught him the art. C. Queen Elizabeth made him interested in Peking Opera. D. His enthusiasm for Peking Opera started at an early age. 6. What is paragraph 4 mainly about? A. His great love for Peking Opera. B. His amazing performance on stage. C. His belief in performing Peking Opera. D. His contribution to spreading Peking Opera. 7. Which of the following words best describe Pourazar? A. Persistent and gentle. B. Humorous and charming. C. Conventional and cautious. D. Determined and innovative. 【答案】4. B 5. A 6. D 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了Ghaffar Pourazar与京剧的深厚渊源及传播京剧所做的贡献。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“An internationally praised cultural thing has introduced the attractive tale of Sun Wukong to audiences worldwide. But for Ghaffar Pourazar, a British-American dual citizen living in California; this legendary figure has been a part of his identity for decades.(一个备受国际赞誉的文化作品向全球观众介绍了孙悟空这一引人入胜的故事。但是，对于居住在加利福尼亚的英美双重国籍公民加法尔·普拉扎尔而言，这位传奇人物几十年来一直是他身份认同的一部分)”可知，文章先是说孙悟空这一文化形象在世界范围内的影响，接着指出对Pourazar来说，这个传奇人物已经成为他身份的一部分数十年了。由此可知，作者写第一段的意图是介绍一种文化对一个人的影响。故选B。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段的“In addition to the physical demands, mastering the Chinese language posed another problem.“I was constantly reciting the subtitles and. songs, whether I was eating, bathing, walking, or even dreaming,”Pourazar said.(除了身体上的要求外，掌握中文还带来了另一个问题。普拉扎尔说：“无论我是在吃饭、洗澡、走路，甚至是在做梦，我都在不断地背诵台词和歌曲。”)”可知，语言对Pourazar来说是一个很大的障碍。故选A。 【6题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第四段的“Pourazar believes that great art transcends (超越) languages. Over the years, he has devoted himself to introducing Peking Opera and Sun Wukong to international audiences.(普拉扎尔认为，伟大的艺术超越语言界限。多年来，他致力于向国际观众介绍京剧和孙悟空这一角色)”以及全段可知，本段讲述了多年来他致力于向国际观众介绍京剧和孙悟空，在美国授课、组织研习班，还改编经典剧目；由此可知，第四段主要讲述了Pourazar对传播京剧所做的贡献。故选D。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段的“Just three months later, he left his life in Britain behind and moved to Beijing to train in the martial roles of the art.(仅仅三个月后，他就告别了英国的生活，搬到北京，去学习这门艺术中的武打角色)”以及第三段他克服语言等困难学习京剧，能看出他很有决心；根据第四段的“To better connect with Western audiences and learners, he adapted some classic plays such as The Monkey King: Uproar in Heaven into English versions and he also adapted Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream into Peking Opera.(为了更好地与西方观众和学习者建立联系，他将《孙悟空：大闹天宫》等经典剧目改编成英文版，还把莎士比亚的《仲夏夜之梦》改编成京剧)” 可知，他改编经典剧目，体现了他的创新。由此可知，Pourazar既有决心又有创新精神。故选D。 C It’s been nearly two decades since the traditional clothing style Hanfu first started to reemerge in China. Since then it has gone from a small cultural movement celebrating an ancient fashion to a trend that is booming on social media, having been adopted by China’s Generation Z as a means of connecting with their past. Instead of following other cultures blindly, Generation Z now have different opinions about what trend is by promoting local culture while having an objective view of exotic cultural products. The new tastes of Generation Z—young people born after 1995—are well represented on Bilibili. In the recent New Year’s Eve gala presented by Bilibili, it attracted more than 100 million views within 48 hours with a colourful set of programmes ranging from Peking Opera to classical Chinese cartoons. The same is also true of movie industry. Last year, for the first time, the top 10 most viewed films in China were all domestic films, while the ticket sales for imported films have dropped to only 16.28 percent. ”Generation Z grew up with the rapid development of China and under good economic conditions. With the development of the Chinese Internet industry, they have more access to diverse international information and culture, which bring them a much broader vision and makes them more open and confident in analyzing foreign culture. Apart from taking pride in China’s rapid development, this generation also pursues individuality and values devotion to the country,“ Professor Zhang Yiwu said. He also noted that the popular rock and punk culture pursued by the 70s and 80s generation is more of a challenge against real life and local culture. Some people who were born in the 1970s and 1980s did not grow up in the Internet age—they experienced the transformation of China going from poor to rich first-hand. This kind of longing and admiration of the West came from a lack of confidence. However, Generation Z now have the confidence to look at Western culture with equal status. This kind of cultural confidence will result in China being more active and creative in its development on the international stage in the future. 8. What does the underlined word ”exotic“ in Paragraph 1 mean? A. Foreign. B. Fashionable. C. Traditional. D. Elegant. 9. Why is Bilibili mentioned in Paragraph 2? A. To confirm the rise of new media. B. To promote Chinese Internet industry. C. To highlight the popularity of domestic art. D. To show the popularity of New Year’s Eve gala. 10. What do we know about Generation Z from the passage? A. They have a stronger cultural identity. B. They are longing for cultural diversity. C. They have made China develop rapidly. D. They are more fond of foreign culture. 11. What can be a suitable title for the passage? A. Confident China Better Future B. China’s Progress Results in Cultural Confidence C. China’s New Generation Redefine Local Culture as Trendy D. Hanfu Style, Connector of Ancient Fashion and Modern Trend 【答案】8. A 9. C 10. A 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了Z一代不再盲目追随其他文化，而是在客观看待异域文化产品的同时，通过弘扬本土文化，对什么是潮流有不同的看法。 【8题详解】 词义猜测题。根据划线词所在的句子“Instead of following other cultures blindly，Generation Z now have different opinions about what trend is by promoting local culture while having an objective view of exotic cultural products.”(Z一代不再盲目追随其他文化，而是在客观看待exotic文化产品的同时，通过弘扬本土文化，对什么是潮流有不同的看法。)可知划线词的意思与local相对应，所以A项“外国的”符合题意。故选A项。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“The new tastes of Generation Z-young people born after 1995-are well represented on Bilibili.In the recent New Year's Eve gala presented by Bilibili，it attracted more than 100 million views within 48 hours with a colorful set of programs ranging from Peking Opera to classical Chinese cartoon.The same is also true of movie industry.Last year，for the first time，the top 10 most viewed films in China were all domestic films，while the ticket sales for imported films have dropped to only 16.28 percent.”(Z一代的新口味—1995年后出生的年轻人—在Bilibili上得到了很好的体现。在Bilibili最近举办的除夕晚会上，48小时内吸引了超过1亿人次观看，节目丰富多彩，从京剧到中国古典动画片应有尽有。电影业也是如此。去年，中国最受欢迎的十大电影首次全部是国产电影，而进口电影的票房下降到仅16.28%。) 可知，Bilibili上包含了从京剧到中国古典动画片的节目吸引了很多人观看，这些都属于本土文化，可推断提到Bilibili是为了突出国内艺术的流行性。故选C项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“However, the Generation Z now have the confidence to look at Western culture with equal status.This kind of cultural confidence will result in China being more active and creative in its development on the international stage in the future.”(然而，Z一代现在有信心以平等的地位看待西方文化。这种文化自信，将使中国未来在国际舞台上的发展更加积极和富有创造性。)可知，他们以平等的地位看待西方文化，对自己的本土文化有更强大的自信，也就是他们有更强烈的文化认同感。故选A项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。阅读全文以及根据第一段主旨段“Instead of following other cultures blindly，Generation Z now have different opinions about what trend is by promoting local culture while having an objective view of exotic cultural products.”(Z一代不再盲目追随其他文化，而是在客观看待异域文化产品的同时，通过弘扬本土文化，对什么是潮流有不同的看法。)可知，本文主要讲述了Z一代不再盲目追随其他文化，对本土文化有更强大的自信，所以C选项“中国新一代将本土文化重新定义为潮流”作为题目最合适。故选C项。 D Dreams have fascinated people for thousands of years, yet we struggle to understand their purpose. A more recent theory suggests nighttime dreams protect visual areas of the brain from being taken over during sleep by other sensory functions, such as hearing or touch. David Eagle-man, a neuroscience at Stanford University, has proposed the idea that dreaming is necessary to protect the visual cortex (大脑皮层)—the part of the brain responsible for processing vision. He argues that neurons (神经元) compete for survival. The brain, Eagle-man explains, distributes its resources by “implementing a do-or-die competition” for brain territory in which sensory areas “gain or lose neural territory when inputs slow, stop or shift.” Eagle-man points to people who lose sight or hearing. They show heightened sensitivity in the remaining senses because the region of the brain normally used by the lost sense is taken over by other senses. When you sleep, you can smell, hear and feel, but visual information is absent —except during REM sleep. About 90 minutes after drifting off to sleep, you enter REM. It begins when neurons in your brain stem signal the beginning of two important tasks. Activity of these neurons, for one, paralyze major muscles, preventing the sleeper from acting out what is happening in the dream. Also, these brain cells send messages directly to the visual cortex, which starts the dreaming process. Scans of dreaming people show most of the brain activity associated with REM is within the visual cortex. Dreams are the brain’s way of fighting takeover from other senses, according to Eagle-man. Eagle-man says that his theory can accommodate other explanations for dreams and that REM sleep may serve many purposes besides protecting the visual cortex. Think of dreaming like a computer screen saver that is set to go off every 90 minutes —except that instead of protecting against frozen images, dreams prevent the visual cortex from being occupied by other functions. 12. What is Eagle-man’s primary theory about dreams? A. They strengthen sensory functions. B. They process emotional experiences. C. They safeguard certain brain territory. D. They heighten visual responsiveness. 13. How does Eagle-man interpret neurons’ activity regarding resource distribution? A. Precise selection. B. Desperate struggle. C. Rapid adaptation. D. Harmonious balance. 14. What do we know about REM sleep? A. It lasts for about 90 minutes. B. It consists of two critical stages. C. It allows sleepers to act out their dreams. D. It starts with brain stem’s signaling process. 15. Why are dreams compared to a computer screen saver? A. To show their creative aspect. B. To highlight their randomness. C. To signify their repetitive nature. D. To illustrate their protective function. 【答案】12. C 13. B 14. D 15. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。最近的一项理论认为，夜间做梦可以保护大脑的视觉区域，使其在睡眠中不被听觉或触觉等其他感官功能接管。文章主要介绍了人为什么要做梦。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“A more recent theory suggests nighttime dreams protect visual areas of the brain from being taken over during sleep by other sensory functions, such as hearing or touch.(最近的一项理论认为，夜间做梦可以保护大脑的视觉区域，使其在睡眠中不被听觉或触觉等其他感官功能接管)”可知，人做梦是为了防止大脑的视觉区域被其他感官控制。故选C。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“He argues that neurons (神经元) compete for survival. The brain, Eagle-man explains, distributes its resources by “implementing a do-or-die competition” for brain territory in which sensory areas “gain or lose neural territory when inputs slow, stop or shift.”(他认为神经元为生存而竞争。伊格尔曼解释说，大脑通过“一场生死竞争”来分配它的资源，在这种竞争中，当输入变慢、停止或转移时，感觉区域“获得或失去神经区域”)”可知，Eagle-man认为神经元为资源分配而努力竞争。故选B。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Also, these brain cells send messages directly to the visual cortex, which starts the dreaming process.(同时，这些脑细胞直接向视觉皮层发送信息，从而开始做梦的过程)”可知，快速眼动睡眠从脑干的信号传导过程开始。故选D。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Eagle-man says that his theory can accommodate other explanations for dreams and that REM sleep may serve many purposes besides protecting the visual cortex. Think of dreaming like a computer screen saver that is set to go off every 90 minutes —except that instead of protecting against frozen images, dreams prevent the visual cortex from being occupied by other functions.(伊格尔曼说，他的理论可以适应对梦的其他解释，除了保护视觉皮层外，快速眼动睡眠可能还有许多用途。把梦想象成每隔90分钟响起一次的电脑屏幕保护程序——只不过梦不是防止画面凝固，而是防止视觉皮层被其他功能占用)”可知，电脑屏保的作用和梦的作用一样。故选D。 第二节 (共5小题；每小题2. 5分，满分12. 5分) Emotion regulation is described as the ability to change our emotions by changing thoughts or behaviors. Emotion regulation skills are crucial for recovering from stress and maintaining mental well-being. Without these skills, we may rely on unhealthy emotion regulation strategies like alcohol or overeating, which may offer short-term relief but worse things in the long run. ____16____ Emotions are a natural part of the human experience. And allowing emotions to exist as they are helps us to understand our emotions and take steps to manage them well. ____17____ In our life, it is the process of accepting and embracing our emotions without trying to change them. It involves fully experiencing our feelings, whether they are positive or negative. ____18____ The process of training often involves engaging in various activities, which are beneficial to activate brain regions associated with positive ideas. For example, focusing on positive words or memories can activate brain regions linked to well-being, strengthening emotion regulation processes. Similarly, one way to regulate our emotions is to redirect our attention towards the positive. Studies show that shifting attention to positive aspects can reduce anxiety and improve emotional states. ____19____ Gratitude is a positive emotion that involves being thankful and appreciative. It is associated with several mental and physical health benefits. When we experience gratitude, we will feel grateful for something or someone in life and respond with positive feelings of kindness, warmth, and other forms of well-being. Gratitude has been shown to increase our positive emotions and improve the quality of our personal relationships. In reality, we can practice gratitude with gratitude lists, gratitude notes, and gratitude letters. ____20____ A. Positive emotions can be cultivated by training. B. Emotion acceptance is important in emotion regulation. C. These practices can finally improve our overall well-being. D. So let’s develop these skills by concentrating on the positive. E. Building emotion regulation skills requires professional guidance. F. If equipped with these skills, we can manage emotions effectively. G. Emotional regulation is useful for people with mental health issues. 【答案】16. F 17. B 18. A 19. D 20. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了情绪调节的重要性、接受情绪的意义、积极情绪的培养以及感恩的作用。 【16题详解】 上文“Emotion regulation skills are crucial for recovering from stress and maintaining mental well-being. Without these skills, we may rely on unhealthy emotion regulation strategies like alcohol or overeating, which may offer short-term relief but worse things in the long run.(情绪调节技能对于从压力中恢复和保持心理健康至关重要。如果没有这些技能，我们可能会依赖不健康的情绪调节策略，如饮酒或暴饮暴食，这些策略可能提供短期的缓解，但从长远来看会带来更糟糕的事情)”说明情绪调节技能的重要性以及缺乏这些技能的后果。空处和前文为顺接关系，说明具备这些技能带来的好处。所以F项“如果具备这些技能，我们就能有效地管理情绪。”符合语境，该项中的“these skills”指代前文中的“Emotion regulation skills”。故选F。 【17题详解】 上文“And allowing emotions to exist as they are helps us to understand our emotions and take steps to manage them well.(允许情绪以它们本来的样子存在，有助于我们理解自己的情绪，并采取措施来很好地管理它们)”说明接受情绪的意义。空处顺接前文，进一步阐述情绪接受在情绪调节中的重要性，并引下文中如何接纳情绪。所以B项“情绪接受在情绪调节中很重要。”符合语境，该项中的“Emotion acceptance”和上文中的“allowing emotions to exist”。故选B。 【18题详解】 下文“The process of training often involves engaging in various activities, which are beneficial to activate brain regions associated with positive ideas.(训练过程通常涉及参与各种活动，这些活动有助于激活与积极想法相关的大脑区域)”说明积极情绪可以通过训练来培养。空处为段落主题句，引出下文内容。所以A项“积极情绪可以通过训练来培养。”符合语境。故选A。 【19题详解】 上文“Similarly, one way to regulate our emotions is to redirect our attention towards the positive. Studies show that shifting attention to positive aspects can reduce anxiety and improve emotional states.(同样，调节情绪的一种方法是将注意力转向积极方面。研究表明，将注意力转向积极方面可以减少焦虑并改善情绪状态)”说明将注意力转向积极方面可以调节情绪。空处应是对上文内容的总结或延伸，强调要通过关注积极方面来培养情绪调节技能。所以D项“所以让我们通过关注积极方面来培养这些技能。”符合语境，该项中的“by concentrating on the positive”和上文中的“shifting attention to positive aspects”相呼应。故选D。 【20题详解】 上文“In reality, we can practice gratitude with gratitude lists, gratitude notes, and gratitude letters.(实际上，我们可以通过感恩清单、感恩便条和感恩信件来练习感恩)”说明感恩的具体做法。空处和前文为顺接关系，说明这些做法的好处。所以C项 “这些做法最终可以改善我们的整体幸福感。” 符合语境，该项中的“These practices”指代上文中的“gratitude lists, gratitude notes, and gratitude letters”。故选 C。 第三部分 语言知识运用 (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，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 While her French classmates ate salads, Li Mei took out a package of steamed rice.

The house was filled with the usual hustle and bustle (熙熙攘攘), but today there was a sense of excitement mixed with a bit of anxiety. This would be the first time I would be leaving my son, Max, behind for a few days. Max, five years old, was used to having me around. Little did he know, today was going to be a day of new experiences and emotions. As I took out my suitcase, Max entered the room, his eyes wide with curiosity. “Mom, where are you going?” he asked, his voice carrying innocence and some concern. I smiled, “I’ve to go on a trip for work, Max. I’ll be back in a few days.” Max’s eyes grew even wider, and I could see the look of shock on his face. He had never been apart from me for more than a day, and the concept of me being away was completely new to him. “But, Mom, who will take care of me?” he asked, his voice trembling (颤抖) slightly. I hugged him tightly, saying, “Dad will be here with you, and Grandma is coming over to help. You’ll have so much fun with them, and I’ll call you every day,” I said, hoping to ease his worries. Max nodded slowly, but I could tell he was still unsure. As the day went on, I noticed Max staying close to me, watching my every move. He helped me pack, and brought me items he thought I might need, like his favorite toy car and a drawing he made for me. His small gestures touched my heart, and I realized how much he cared. When it was finally time for me to leave, Max stood by the door, his expression a mix of bravery and sadness. I hugged him one last time and whispered, “I’ll be back before you know it, Max. Be good and remember that I love you.” He nodded, with tears in his eyes. 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。 As I drove away, I couldn’t help but glance back at the house. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ When I finally returned home, Max greeted me with the biggest hug ever. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 As I drove away, I couldn’t help but glance back at the house. There he was, standing at the window, waving with a small smile on his face. It was a moment that touched my heart, but I knew this experience would be valuable for both of us. During my trip, I called Max every evening. We talked about his day, the fun he was having with Dad and Grandma, and the new things he was learning. Each call seemed to ease his worries a little more, and by the third day, he sounded more confident and happier. When I finally returned home, Max greeted me with the biggest hug ever. “Mom! You’re back!” he exclaimed, his face lighting up with joy. At that moment, I realized how much he had grown in just a few days. He had faced his fears and come out stronger. This experience taught Max an important lesson about resilience and independence. It showed him that even when things change, he can adapt and thrive. It also reminded me of the importance of developing these qualities in him and helping him become a strong and confident individual. 【解析】 【导语】本文以母子情为线索展开，讲述了作者因工作原因第一次离开五岁的儿子Max几天，儿子从最初的不舍、担忧到后来逐渐适应并成长的故事，展现了孩子在面对分离时的脆弱以及独立成长的过程。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我开车离开时，忍不住回头看了一眼房子。”可知，第一段可描写作者离开后对儿子的牵挂以及儿子在家中的表现。 ②由第二段首句内容“当我回到家时，Max给了我一个最大的拥抱。”可知，第二段可描写作者回到家后与儿子的重逢场景以及儿子在这几天中的变化。 2. 续写线索：离开——牵挂——儿子在家的表现——回家——重逢——儿子的成长 3. 词汇激活： 行为类 ①陪伴：accompany/keep company ②适应：adapt/adjust ③缓解：ease/alleviate 情绪类 ①担忧：worry/concern ②快乐：joy/delight ③自信：confident/self-assured ④坚强：strong/resilient 【点睛】【高级句型1】There he was, standing at the window, waving with a small smile on his face.

Avebury, Wiltshire This village is the proud home of the largest stone circle in Europe. Built during the New Stone Age (around 3000 BC), archaeologists think it was used to comfort the powers of nature. The nearby Avebury Manor let people know how the village developed over the centuries. Unlike others, visitors are welcome to sit on the chairs, and lie on the beds. Skara Brae, Orkney Islands Older than Stonehenge and the Great Pyramid of Giza, Skara Brae is unusually well-kept. So much so that it’s been described as the most remarkable prehistoric monument in all of Europe. The Neolithic village— which was first occupied around 3180 BC—is made up of eight round houses, connected by a series of small passages. The village was home to farmers, hunters and fishermen and the network of homes includes a workshop and prison. Be sure to wrap up warm against the fierce Orkney winds. Butser Ancient Farm, Hampshire Experimental archaeologist Dr Peter J Reynolds founded Butser Ancient Farm in 1970 with a special vision: to create a working ancient farm where fellow archaeologists could explore their theories on how people lived and worked during the Iron Age. Near South Downs National Park, the farm builds ancient houses based on real archaeological sites from around the country. Maiden Castle Maiden Castle is one of the largest and most complex Iron Age hill forts (要塞) in Britain. It has an area of about 450,000 square meters, and the site was home to several hundred people in the Iron Age (800 BC—AD 43). 1. What may Avebury be built for? A. Building home for most villagers. B. Becoming the largest stone circle. C. Trying to comfort nature’s power. D. Showing the development of the village. 2. Which of the following should we choose if we want to see round buildings? A. Avebury. B. Skara Brae. C. Butser Ancient Farm. D. Maiden Castle. 3. What can we know about Maiden Castle? A It’s the world largest Iron Age hill fort B. It used to be hundreds of people’s home. C. It still keeps some old iron tools. D. It looks very large and shining. B An internationally praised cultural thing has introduced the attractive tale of Sun Wukong to audiences worldwide. But for Ghaffar Pourazar, a British-American dual citizen living in California; this legendary figure has been a part of his identity for decades. Pourazar’s lifelong passion for Peking Opera began by chance. In 1993, Pourazar attended a performance at London’s Queen Elizabeth Hall and was instantly captured. He went backstage right after the show and made friends with the Chinese performers. With their help, Pourazar registered for an opera school. Just three months later, he left his life in Britain behind and moved to Beijing to train in the martial roles of the art. Starting as an adult was not easy, as Peking Opera is a complex mixture of vocal performance, mime, martial arts, dance and acrobatics. In addition to the physical demands, mastering the Chinese language posed another problem. “I was constantly reciting the subtitles and songs, whether I was eating, bathing, walking, or even dreaming,” Pourazar said. Pourazar believes that great art transcends (超越) languages. Over the years, he has dedicated himself to introducing Peking Opera and Sun Wukong to international audiences. He has also been teaching courses and organizing workshops in the United States, bringing Peking Opera to curious Western learners. To better connect with Western audiences and learners, he adapted some classic plays such as The Monkey King: Uproar in Heaven into English versions and he also adapted Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream into Peking Opera. In recognition of his contributions, Pourazar received the Great Wall Friendship Award from the Beijing government in 2014. “Cultural exchange should be reciprocal (互惠的). I aim to blend my expertise in opera with my multicultural background to create enriching artistic experiences for the audiences,” said Pourazar. 4. What is the author’s intention of writing paragraph 1? A. To prove Ghaffar Pourazar’s achievement. B. To introduce a cultural influence on an individual. C. To explain the cultural significance of Sun Wukong. D. To highlight the fascination of ancient Chinese tales. 5. What do we know about Pourazar’s experience of learning Peking Opera? A. Language was a significant barrier for him. B. The performers he met backstage taught him the art. C. Queen Elizabeth made him interested in Peking Opera. D. His enthusiasm for Peking Opera started at an early age. 6. What is paragraph 4 mainly about? A. His great love for Peking Opera. B. His amazing performance on stage. C. His belief in performing Peking Opera. D. His contribution to spreading Peking Opera. 7. Which of the following words best describe Pourazar? A. Persistent and gentle. B. Humorous and charming. C. Conventional and cautious. D. Determined and innovative. C It’s been nearly two decades since the traditional clothing style Hanfu first started to reemerge in China. Since then it has gone from a small cultural movement celebrating an ancient fashion to a trend that is booming on social media, having been adopted by China’s Generation Z as a means of connecting with their past. Instead of following other cultures blindly, Generation Z now have different opinions about what trend is by promoting local culture while having an objective view of exotic cultural products. The new tastes of Generation Z—young people born after 1995—are well represented on Bilibili. In the recent New Year’s Eve gala presented by Bilibili, it attracted more than 100 million views within 48 hours with a colourful set of programmes ranging from Peking Opera to classical Chinese cartoons. The same is also true of movie industry. Last year, for the first time, the top 10 most viewed films in China were all domestic films, while the ticket sales for imported films have dropped to only 16.28 percent. ”Generation Z grew up with the rapid development of China and under good economic conditions. With the development of the Chinese Internet industry, they have more access to diverse international information and culture, which bring them a much broader vision and makes them more open and confident in analyzing foreign culture. Apart from taking pride in China’s rapid development, this generation also pursues individuality and values devotion to the country,“ Professor Zhang Yiwu said. He also noted that the popular rock and punk culture pursued by the 70s and 80s generation is more of a challenge against real life and local culture. Some people who were born in the 1970s and 1980s did not grow up in the Internet age—they experienced the transformation of China going from poor to rich first-hand. This kind of longing and admiration of the West came from a lack of confidence. However, Generation Z now have the confidence to look at Western culture with equal status. This kind of cultural confidence will result in China being more active and creative in its development on the international stage in the future. 8. What does the underlined word ”exotic“ in Paragraph 1 mean? A. Foreign. B. Fashionable. C. Traditional. D. Elegant. 9. Why is Bilibili mentioned in Paragraph 2? A. To confirm the rise of new media. B. To promote Chinese Internet industry. C. To highlight the popularity of domestic art. D. To show the popularity of New Year’s Eve gala. 10. What do we know about Generation Z from the passage? A. They have a stronger cultural identity. B. They are longing for cultural diversity. C. They have made China develop rapidly. D. They are more fond of foreign culture. 11. What can be a suitable title for the passage? A. Confident China, Better Future B. China’s Progress Results in Cultural Confidence C. China’s New Generation Redefine Local Culture as Trendy D. Hanfu Style, Connector of Ancient Fashion and Modern Trend D Dreams have fascinated people for thousands of years yet we struggle to understand their purpose. A more recent theory suggests nighttime dreams protect visual areas of the brain from being taken over during sleep by other sensory functions, such as hearing or touch. David Eagle-man, a neuroscience at Stanford University, has proposed the idea that dreaming is necessary to protect the visual cortex (大脑皮层)—the part of the brain responsible for processing vision. He argues that neurons (神经元) compete for survival. The brain, Eagle-man explains, distributes its resources by “implementing a do-or-die competition” for brain territory in which sensory areas “gain or lose neural territory when inputs slow, stop or shift.” Eagle-man points to people who lose sight or hearing. They show heightened sensitivity in the remaining senses because the region of the brain normally used by the lost sense is taken over by other senses. When you sleep, you can smell, hear and feel, but visual information is absent —except during REM sleep. About 90 minutes after drifting off to sleep, you enter REM. It begins when neurons in your brain stem signal the beginning of two important tasks. Activity of these neurons, for one, paralyze major muscles, preventing the sleeper from acting out what is happening in the dream. Also, these brain cells send messages directly to the visual cortex, which starts the dreaming process.

The house was filled with the usual hustle and bustle (熙熙攘攘), but today there was a sense of excitement mixed with a bit of anxiety. This would be the first time I would be leaving my son, Max, behind for a few days. Max, five years old, was used to having me around. Little did he know, today was going to be a day of new experiences and emotions. As I took out my suitcase, Max entered the room, his eyes wide with curiosity. “Mom, where are you going?” he asked, his voice carrying innocence and some concern. I smiled, “I’ve to go on a trip for work, Max. I’ll be back in a few days.” Max’s eyes grew even wider, and I could see the look of shock on his face. He had never been apart from me for more than a day, and the concept of me being away was completely new to him. “But, Mom, who will take care of me?” he asked, his voice trembling (颤抖) slightly. I hugged him tightly, saying, “Dad will be here with you, and Grandma is coming over to help. You’ll have so much fun with them, and I’ll call you every day,” I said, hoping to ease his worries. Max nodded slowly, but I could tell he was still unsure. As the day went on, I noticed Max staying close to me, watching my every move. He helped me pack, and brought me items he thought I might need, like his favorite toy car and a drawing he made for me. His small gestures touched my heart, and I realized how much he cared. When it was finally time for me to leave, Max stood by the door, his expression a mix of bravery and sadness. I hugged him one last time and whispered, “I’ll be back before you know it, Max. Be good and remember that I love you.” He nodded, with tears in his eyes. 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。 As I drove away, I couldn’t help but glance back at the house. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ When I finally returned home, Max greeted me with the biggest hug ever. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
