Games are posted and organized by separate individuals. Some are free games; some are paid. If you'd like to post games, please message Kal. SKILL LEVEL: A wide variety of skill levels from beginner to expert, although most games tend to have a higher-than-beginner skill level. Absolute beginners should explore games that have a smaller number of players, as the larger games may be too intense for you. LOCATIONS: Locations are always a mix of outdoor/indoor, public/private, free/paid. There are no geographic limitations, but naturally everything follows a Toronto/GTA theme. Game postings tend to be made with geographic information in the front of the title (like a neighborhood name). WHAT TO BRING: If attending any game as a player, please bring water, 2 T-shirts (light & dark) and proper shoes for the surface conditions. If you have a ball, bring it! GENERAL GAME RULES: Of course, rule 1: BE SAFE and RESPECTFUL. But more specifically: no slide tackling (铲球), no pushing/elbowing/tripping, show up on time, call your own fouls (犯规), keep it friendly, HAVE FUN！ DISCLAIMER (免责声明): Any person taking part in this group, specifically events posted on this group, does so at their own risk. This group is a forum to display event postings and the group itself is not directly involved in the organization and operation of each individual event. Any issues, conflicts, emergencies, or injuries that occur during an event are the responsibility of those participating in that event, the organizers, and the property owners. 1. What is the aim of Toronto Soccer Meetup? A. To promote soccer clubs. B. To sell soccer equipment. C. To train professional soccer players. D. To provide space for event advertisements. 2. What are the participants expected to do? A. Try to win at all costs. B. Bring appropriate clothes. C. Avoid attending paid events. D. Choose games with fewer players. 3. Who are accountable for emergencies during soccer events? A. The Meetup group. B. Property owners only. C. Toronto city authorities. D. Event organizers and participants. 【答案】1. D 2. B 3. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了多伦多足球聚会的相关信息。 【1题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“Established in January 2011, this Meetup group is a place for soccer game postings across Toronto & the GTA with roughly 2,000 active participants every year. (该聚会成立于2011年1月，是多伦多及大多伦多地区足球比赛发布的平台，每年约有2000名活跃参与者。)”可知，多伦多足球聚会主要是为足球比赛发布提供平台，即为活动广告提供空间。故选D。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第四段“If attending any game as a player, please bring water, 2 T-shirts (light & dark) and proper shoes for the surface conditions. (如果作为球员参加任何比赛，请带上水、两件T恤（浅色和深色）和适合场地条件的鞋子。)”可知，参与者应该带上合适的衣服和鞋子。故选B。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“Any issues, conflicts, emergencies, or injuries that occur during an event are the responsibility of those participating in that event, the organizers, and the property owners. (活动中发生的任何问题、冲突、紧急情况或伤害，均由参与该活动的人员、组织者和业主负责。)”可知，活动组织者和参与者对足球比赛期间的紧急情况负责。故选D。 B Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan, a foreign city, went through my mind over and over as I lay in the bed. At first, panic hit me as I kept wondering why I had applied for a job in a country about which I knew nothing. I had battled the same kind of panic when my wife and I decided to adopt a baby whose parents died in an accident. Adopting a child and becoming a father scared me as much as moving to an unknown country. I knew there would be joy and excitement as we began the adoption process, but I was caught off guard by the attack of the “what if”. I was lost in thought. What if the child isn’t anything like me? It’s natural for parents to look for their reflection in their children. I was an English teacher and feared adopting a child who disliked reading and exercising. But the more I thought about not being able to take pride in my son’s genes (基因), the more I understood that distancing myself from my sense of self might lead to a healthier relationship. Six years of teaching at grade school taught me that a child, whether biological or adopted, is an unknown entity (实体) waiting to unfold. I saw non-athletic children whose fathers were professional athletes. Sometimes, genes even eliminated any guarantee that children would look like their parents. I realized all children deserved to be appreciated. I had never made it to Bishkek before, but we did adopt a child whom I would fight for in the new city. And I gladly welcomed this new fatherhood that had become my heart’s true home. Today, however, I cheer just as loudly as any other dad when my son scores a goal in soccer. He’s my son even though he doesn’t share my genes. I have also written out how much joy and love he has brought to our lives. I’ve now been writing journals with him for seven years. 4. What is the author’s initial attitude to moving to Bishkek and adopting a child? A. Optimistic. B. Curious C. Worried. D. Indifferent. 5. What does paragraph 2 mainly tell us about the author? A. His internal conflict. B. His teaching experiences. C. His relationship with his child. D. His spirit of self-improvement. 6. What does the underlined word “eliminated” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Dominated. B. Removed. C. Confirmed. D. Exposed, 7. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Home: A Shelter for Loved Ones B. Fatherhood: A Journey of Acceptance C. Genes: A Bond Keeping Family Together D. A Foreign City: A Big Chance to Adopt a Child 【答案】4. C 5. A 6. B 7. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要介绍的是一位父亲在面对移居陌生国家和收养孩子时的心理挣扎与成长，最终学会接纳与热爱的过程。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“At first, panic hit me as I kept wondering why I had applied for a job in a country about which I knew nothing. I had battled the same kind of panic when my wife and I decided to adopt a baby whose parents died in an accident.(起初，当我一直想知道为什么我要在一个我一无所知的国家申请一份工作时，恐慌袭击了我。当我和妻子决定收养一个父母在事故中丧生的婴儿时，我也经历了同样的恐慌。)”可知，作者对于搬到比什凯克和收养孩子的最初态度是担忧的。故选C项。 【5题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段“What if the child isn’t anything like me? It’s natural for parents to look for their reflection in their children. I was an English teacher and feared adopting a child who disliked reading and exercising. But the more I thought about not being able to take pride in my son’s genes (基因), the more I understood that distancing myself from my sense of self might lead to a healthier relationship. (如果孩子一点都不像我怎么办？父母在孩子身上寻找自己的影子是很自然的。我是一名英语老师，我害怕收养一个不喜欢阅读和锻炼的孩子。但是，我越想不能为儿子的基因感到骄傲，就越明白与自我意识保持距离可能会带来更健康的关系。)”可知，第二段主要讲述了作者内心对于收养孩子的矛盾心理，一方面担心孩子不像自己，另一方面又明白不应过于在意基因。故选A项。 【6题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第三段中的“Six years of teaching at grade school taught me that a child, whether biological or adopted, is an unknown entity (实体) waiting to unfold. I saw non-athletic children whose fathers were professional athletes. Sometimes, genes even eliminated any guarantee that children would look like their parents.(在小学六年的教学经历告诉我，无论是亲生的还是收养的孩子，都是一个等待展现的未知实体。我见过父亲是职业运动员但孩子却不擅长运动的情况。有时，基因甚至……孩子会像父母的任何保证。)”可知，通过前面父亲是职业运动员但孩子却不擅长运动的例子，说明基因不能保证孩子会像父母，“消除”孩子像父母的保证，所以划线单词的意思与“消除”意义相近。故选B项。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，根据首段中的“I had battled the same kind of panic when my wife and I decided to adopt a baby whose parents died in an accident. Adopting a child and becoming a father scared me as much as moving to an unknown country. I knew there would be joy and excitement as we began the adoption process, but I was caught off guard by the attack of the “what if”.(当初我和妻子决定收养一个父母在事故中去世的孩子时，我也曾经历过同样的恐惧。成为父亲、收养孩子让我感到害怕，那种感觉就像要搬到一个陌生国家一样强烈。我知道，当我们开始收养过程时会有喜悦和兴奋，但我还是猝不及防地陷入了“如果……怎么办”的焦虑之中。)”以及下文介绍的作者的教学经历可知，文章讲述了作者从最初对搬到比什凯克和收养孩子的担忧，到通过教学经历意识到孩子的不确定性，再到最后欣然接受新的父亲角色，体现了作者在成为父亲过程中的成长和对父亲角色的接受，所以，标题“为人父：一段接纳的旅程”概括了文章的主旨，适合作为最佳标题。故选B项。 C About 300 years ago, some travelers along the Upper and Middle Orinoco River first reported sightings of mysterious rock engravings (版画), describing snakes and other patterns, along its shores. But as years passed, these artworks were recorded only in oral traditions and locals’ word of mouth. The precise location and proof of their existence remained absent. It wasn’t until 2015 that a team of archaeologists first arrived in the region with the goal of searching for clues of the artworks. After years of study, scientists found even more than they had anticipated. The team visited 157 sites that had rock art, 13 of which had engravings more than a dozen feet tall. A great variety of figures are described, including insects, birds, humans and other animals. In all, 60 individual engravings exceeded 30-foot dimensions, including a centipede (蜈蚣) and two figures. “Anything that size is monumental in our view,” Philip Riris, the study’s lead author, says. “That means they’re often visible from quite far away, maybe 500 meters to a kilometer.” But no creature was more common in the rock faces than snakes, of which the team found dozens. Interestingly, the team found that all of the snakes faced the river and were engraved where its waterline would have been two thousand years ago. The engravings would have been visible from higher ground, and certainly by those in incoming boats, leading the team to assume that they were used as territorial markers, boundaries, and landmarks. The team unearthed pottery (陶器) from the ecosystem. It had similar markings to those in rock and dates back about 2,000 years. The team estimates the engravings are about the same age and some 10,000 ancient rock engravings exist within a 1,000 square-mile area along the river. “The giant snake engravings studied in the paper are some of the largest single rock art images anywhere in the world and mainly come from the heart of a lowland tropical environment,” Patrick Roberts, an archaeologist at the Max Planck Institute says. 8. Why did the archaeologists go to the region in 2015? A. To map the river’s waterline. B. To study the local oral traditions. C To find evidence of the rock engravings. D. To explore the biodiversity of the region. 9. How is paragraph 2 mainly developed? A. By listing data. B. By quoting documents. C. By making assumptions. D. By drawing comparisons. 10. What could the snake engravings have mainly functioned as? A. Donation. B. Admiration. C. Decoration. D. Indication. 11. What does Patrick Roberts mention about the giant snake engravings? A. Their distribution. B. Their components. C. Their symbolic meanings. D. Their impact on the environment. 【答案】8. C 9. A 10. D 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍的是考古学家在奥里诺科河流域发现巨型蛇形岩刻的过程及其作为地理标志的重要意义。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“It wasn’t until 2015 that a team of archaeologists first arrived in the region with the goal of searching for clues of the artworks.(直到2015年，一组考古学家首次来到该地区，目的是寻找这些艺术品的线索。)”可知，2015年考古学家去该地区是为了寻找岩石版画的证据。故选C项。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“The team visited 157 sites that had rock art, 13 of which had engravings more than a dozen feet tall. A great variety of figures are described, including insects, birds, humans and other animals. In all, 60 individual engravings exceeded 30-foot dimensions, including a centipede (蜈蚣) and two figures.(该团队参观了157个有岩石艺术的遗址，其中13个遗址的版画超过十几英尺高。描绘了各种各样的形象，包括昆虫、鸟类、人类和其他动物。总共有60个单独的版画超过30英尺，包括一只蜈蚣和两个人物形象。)”可推知，第二段主要通过列举参观的遗址数量、有高版画的遗址数量、单独版画的数量等数据来展开。故选A项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Interestingly, the team found that all of the snakes faced the river and were engraved where its waterline would have been two thousand years ago. The engravings would have been visible from higher ground, and certainly by those in incoming boats, leading the team to assume that they were used as territorial markers, boundaries, and landmarks.(有趣的是，研究小组发现所有的蛇都面向河流，并且刻在两千年前的水线位置。从较高的地方可以看到这些版画，当然乘船而来的人也能看到，这使得研究小组假设它们被用作领土标记、边界和地标。)”可知，蛇的版画主要功能是作为指示。故选D项。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段““The giant snake engravings studied in the paper are some of the largest single rock art images anywhere in the world and mainly come from the heart of a lowland tropical environment,” Patrick Roberts, an archaeologist at the Max Planck Institute says.(马克斯・普朗克研究所的考古学家帕特里克・罗伯茨说：“本文研究的巨型蛇版画是世界上最大的单个岩石艺术图像之一，主要来自低地热带环境的中心地区。”)”可知，帕特里克・罗伯茨提到了巨型蛇版画的分布。故选A项。 D For humans, aging is unavoidable. But axolotls (蝾螈), those cute smiling animals of pop culture fame, seemingly avoid this fate to a point. In a phenomenon called “neoteny”, axolotls never outgrow their initial stage, looking like oversize babies as adults. Not only do they look youthful, with feathery structures and distinctive characteristics, but these critically endangered Mexican species also experience few physical declines and diseases, and they can regenerate their limbs, tails, and even other organs over their 21-year lifespan. For that reason, human-bred axolotls, which are a light pink in color, are common research subjects for biologists, who have long been fascinated by their ability to fight aging. Now, a new study reveals one more mystery about these curious creatures. Their bodies stop one of the key mechanisms of aging — the epigenetic clock (表观遗传时钟) — when they’re just four years old. An epigenetic clock estimates an animal’s age based on how life events, such as stress or diet, turns its genes on and off. If an animal has experienced a lot of physical and mental pain, for instance, its epigenetic or biological age, could be much older than its real age. The findings could be one more step in the long quest to discover effective anti-aging treatments for humans, such as reducing inflammation (炎症), according to the study published on bioRxiv, a website where studies are posted without peer review. Chasing youth is a popular goal: The anti-aging market, valued at $40 billion, is estimated to hit $60 billion by 2032. What’s more, understanding axolotl genetics could inspire medicines for regenerating cells, muscles, or maybe even arms and legs. “It is a great leap forward in aging and regeneration,” says James Godwin, an immunologist at the MDI Biological Laboratory in Maine who was not involved in the new study. “If the mechanisms can be understood, then many opportunities to improve human health could present themselves.” The study team examined 180 axolotls from four weeks to 21 years of age. Hopefully, research on large scales is in store for future dedicated scientists. 12. What is a feature of axolotls due to “neoteny”? A. They experience rapid aging. B. They have a higher risk of disease. C. They maintain a young appearance. D. They undergo a few dramatic body changes. 13. Which factor of an animal can affect its epigenetic clock? A. Its size. B. Its color. C. Its habitat D. Its suffering. 14. What does James Godwin think of the study? A It is thorough. B. It is promising. C. It is one-sided. D. It is misunderstood. 15. What field does the text mainly cover? A. Diet. B. Finance. C. Psychology. D. Biology. 【答案】12. C 13. D 14. B 15. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文，一项研究发现蝾螈的身体在四岁时就停止了衰老的一个关键机制——表观遗传时钟，这一发现可能是人类在寻找有效的抗衰老治疗方法的长期探索中又迈出了一步。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“In a phenomenon called ‘neoteny’, axolotls never outgrow their initial stage, looking like oversize babies as adults. Not only do they look youthful(在一种被称为‘幼态持续’的现象中，蝾螈永远不会长大，成年后看起来像超大的婴儿。它们不仅看起来很年轻)”可知，由于“幼态持续”，蝾螈保持着年轻的外表，故选C。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“An epigenetic clock estimates an animal’s age based on how life events, such as stress or diet, turns its genes on and off. If an animal has experienced a lot of physical and mental pain, for instance, its epigenetic or biological age, could be much older than its real age.(表观遗传时钟根据生活事件（如压力或饮食）如何开启和关闭基因来估计动物的年龄。例如，如果一只动物经历了很多身体和精神上的痛苦，它的表观遗传或生物年龄可能比它的实际年龄大得多)”可知，动物遭受的痛苦会影响它的表观遗传时钟，故选D。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“‘It is a great leap forward in aging and regeneration,’ says James Godwin, an immunologist at the MDI Biological Laboratory in Maine who was not involved in the new study. ‘If the mechanisms can be understood, then many opportunities to improve human health could present themselves.’(‘这是衰老和再生方面的一大飞跃。’没有参与这项新研究的缅因州MDI生物实验室的免疫学家James Godwin说。‘如果机制能够被理解，那么许多改善人类健康的机会就会出现。’)”可知，James Godwin认为这项研究可能会导致出现许多改善人类健康的机会，所以他认为这项研究很有前途，故选B。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据全文内容，结合第三段中“Now, a new study reveals one more mystery about these curious creatures. Their bodies stop one of the key mechanisms of aging — the epigenetic clock (表观遗传时钟) — when they’re just four years old.(现在，一项新的研究揭示了这些奇怪生物的另一个谜团。他们的身体在四岁时就停止了衰老的一个关键机制——表观遗传时钟)”可知，文章主要讲述一项研究发现蝾螈的身体在四岁时就停止了衰老的一个关键机制——表观遗传时钟，这一发现可能是人类在寻找有效的抗衰老治疗方法的长期探索中又迈出了一步。关键词是衰老和遗传基因，所以文章涉及生物学领域，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。 Bad thoughts can be a persistent, invisible weight that you carry from day to day. Fortunately, there are strategies you can use to block out or at least minimize negative thinking so that it doesn’t bother you. Remember that you’re not a bad person for having bad thoughts. Everyone has negative thoughts. ____16____ As you experience life and emotions, various thoughts — good and bad — will pass through your mind. These random intrusions (侵入) are just thoughts, not real-life actions or reflections of your moral integrity. Release negative thoughts and images with mindfulness. ____17____ Instead of focusing on your negative thoughts or images, try viewing them as a passive observer. Then envision yourself letting them go like physical objects and watching them float away and out of your mind. ____18____ The media we consume has a significant impact on our mental health, especially the younger we are. If you read news or books, watch movies or TV shows, or play a lot of video games that contain elements of violence, horror, or other topics that leave you feeling down, limit your consumption of these materials. Speak to yourself in the way you’d speak to a friend. When an especially harsh, negative thought about your self-worth or appearance worms into your mind, take a step back and examine the thought critically. ____19____ So you shouldn’t speak to yourself that way, either. Practice gratitude each day. Using your phone or a physical notebook, record a few things you’re thankful for. These can be as simple as sunny weather or a kind driver letting you turn onto a busy road. When you cultivate gratitude, you give negativity less room to thrive in your headspace. ____20____ A. That’s just how the human brain functions. B. Think about the activities that make you happiest. C. You wouldn’t speak in that critical tone to a friend. D. Limit or avoid media that disturbs, frightens, or depresses you. E. They may make fun of you, but remember that you know your mind best. F. Try to practice gratitude around the same time each day so it becomes a habit. G. Focus on the present, allowing your thoughts to wander in and out of your mind. 【答案】16. A 17. G 18. D 19. C 20. F 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文，本文介绍了一些可以减少或屏蔽消极想法的方法。 16题详解】 根据上文“Everyone has negative thoughts.(每个人都有消极的想法)”和下文“As you experience life and emotions, various thoughts — good and bad — will pass through your mind.(当你经历生活和情感时，各种各样的想法——好的和坏的——会穿过你的头脑)”可知，此处是说大脑中的消极想法是正常的，A项“这就是人类大脑的运作方式”符合语境，故选A。 【17题详解】 根据上文“Release negative thoughts and images with mindfulness.(用正念释放消极的想法和形象)”可知，G项“专注于现在，让你的想法在你的脑海里徘徊”承接上文，解释具体做法，故选G。 【18题详解】 根据下文“The media we consume has a significant impact on our mental health, especially the younger we are. If you read news or books, watch movies or TV shows, or play a lot of video games that contain elements of violence, horror, or other topics that leave you feeling down, limit your consumption of these materials.(我们消费的媒体对我们的心理健康有很大的影响，尤其是对年轻人来说。如果你阅读新闻或书籍，看电影或电视节目，或玩很多包含暴力，恐怖或其他让你感到沮丧的主题的电子游戏，限制你对这些材料的消费)”可知，本段是说我们所接触的媒体对我们的心理健康有很大影响，应该限制接触上面的消极内容，D项“限制或避免让你不安、害怕或沮丧的媒体”适合作为本段主题句，故选D。 【19题详解】 根据本段主题句“Speak to yourself in the way you’d speak to a friend.(像对朋友说话一样对自己说话)”可知，本段主要说要像对朋友说话一样对自己说话，结合下文“So you shouldn’t speak to yourself that way, either.(所以你也不应该这样对自己说话)”可知，空处应是提及和朋友说话的方式，C项“你不会用那种批评的语气跟朋友说话的”与符合语境，故选C。 【20题详解】 根据本段主题句“Practice gratitude each day.(每天练习感恩)”和上文“When you cultivate gratitude, you give negativity less room to thrive in your headspace.(当你培养感恩之心时，你就会减少消极情绪在你头脑中滋生的空间)”可知，本段主要讲每天练习感恩，上文介绍了这样做的好处，F项“试着每天在同一时间练习感恩，让它成为一种习惯”承接上文，并呼应主题，故选F。 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四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 One cold winter day, Don, in search of cans and bottles to exchange for some money, wandered into Watson’s café.

One day, he was involved in a car accident that left him with a severely injured leg. The doctor said he needed months to recover, which meant he had to stay at home. Jackson’s family was already struggling financially, and his inability to work only made things worse. They barely had enough money for food, let alone warm clothes for the cold winter. Every day felt like a battle, and the weight of their situation pressed heavily on Jackson’s shoulders. He often found himself staring out the window, watching the snow fall and feeling a deep sense of helplessness. Jackson’s neighbor, Lucas, was a kind-hearted man who always looked out for others. When he heard about Jackson’s situation, he couldn’t shake the feeling that he needed to do something. Lucas had seen Jackson’s family struggling, and it tugged (拽) at his heart. He decided to organize a clothing donation drive in the community. With a determined spirit, he went door to door, explaining Jackson’s situation and asking for spare winter clothes or financial contributions. To his surprise, the response was positive. People from all around the neighborhood generously donated warm coats, scarves, gloves, and even some money. Each donation felt like a small victory, a step towards helping his friend. A few days later, Lucas gathered all the donations and brought them to Jackson’s house. Jackson was overwhelmed with gratitude as he opened the boxes filled with clothes and saw the envelope of money. His eyes welled up with tears, and his voice trembled with emotion as he said, “Thank you so much, Lucas. This means more to me than you could ever know.” Lucas just smiled and said, “We are like family. I’m just glad I could help.” At that moment, Jackson felt a warmth in his heart that the winter cold couldn’t touch. He realized that even in his darkest times, there were people who cared. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 With the help of his neighbors, Jackson could get through the winter. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ At the charity, Jackson found a new purpose. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文 With the help of his neighbors, Jackson could get through the winter. The donated clothes kept his family warm, and the money covered their basic needs. Inspired by Lucas’ kindness, Jackson began physical therapy at home, determined to walk again. He practiced daily, gritting his teeth through the pain. Gradually, his leg regained strength. Meanwhile, neighbors continued to support him — some brought homemade meals, others offered part-time jobs he could do remotely. By spring, Jackson could move with a cane. Overwhelmed by gratitude, he promised himself to repay their kindness someday. At the charity, Jackson found a new purpose. After recovering, he volunteered at the local community center, sharing his story to inspire others. He organized winter donation drives, just as Lucas had done. Years later, he established a foundation aiding accident victims. Every time he handed a coat to someone in need, he remembered Lucas’ words: “We are like family.” Through helping others, Jackson transformed his pain into hope, proving that compassion could melt even the coldest winters. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了十年前在多伦多，杰克逊卷入了一场车祸，导致他的一条腿严重受伤。医生说他需要几个月的时间来恢复，这意味着他必须呆在家里。杰克逊的家庭已经陷入经济困境，而他无法工作只会让情况变得更糟。杰克逊的邻居卢卡斯是个心地善良的人，得知了杰克逊的情况后，卢卡斯发起捐赠活动，帮助杰克逊度过了难关。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“在邻居们的帮助下，杰克逊熬过了冬天。”可知，第一段可描写杰克逊得到帮助后满怀感激想要报答他人。 ②由第二段首句内容“在慈善机构，杰克逊找到了新的目标。”可知，第二段可描写杰克逊开始从事志愿者活动，帮助他人。 2.续写线索：杰克逊熬过冬天——杰克逊心存感激——身体康复——从事志愿者活动——杰克逊感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①鼓舞：inspire/encourage ②变成：transform…into…/turn…into… ③回报：repay/pay back 情绪类 ①感激：gratitude/thankfulness ②同情：compassion/sympathy 【点睛】[高分句型1] Inspired by Lucas’ kindness, Jackson began physical therapy at home, determined to walk again.(运用了过去分词作状语) [高分句型2] Through helping others, Jackson transformed his pain into hope, proving that compassion could melt even the coldest winters.(运用了that引导宾语从句) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 高三英语试卷 注意事项: 1. 答题前, 考生务必将自己的姓名、考生号、考场号、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。 3. 考试结束后, 将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 第一部分 听力（共两节, 满分30分） 做题时, 先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后, 你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 第一节（共5小题; 每小题1.5分, 满分7.5分） 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题, 从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后, 你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 例: How much is the shirt?

SKILL LEVEL: A wide variety of skill levels from beginner to expert, although most games tend to have a higher-than-beginner skill level. Absolute beginners should explore games that have a smaller number of players, as the larger games may be too intense for you.

Game postings tend to be made with geographic information in the front of the title (like a neighborhood name).

B Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan, a foreign city, went through my mind over and over as I lay in the bed. At first, panic hit me as I kept wondering why I had applied for a job in a country about which I knew nothing. I had battled the same kind of panic when my wife and I decided to adopt a baby whose parents died in an accident. Adopting a child and becoming a father scared me as much as moving to an unknown country. I knew there would be joy and excitement as we began the adoption process, but I was caught off guard by the attack of the “what if”. I was lost in thought. What if the child isn’t anything like me? It’s natural for parents to look for their reflection in their children. I was an English teacher and feared adopting a child who disliked reading and exercising. But the more I thought about not being able to take pride in my son’s genes (基因), the more I understood that distancing myself from my sense of self might lead to a healthier relationship. Six years of teaching at grade school taught me that a child, whether biological or adopted, is an unknown entity (实体) waiting to unfold. I saw non-athletic children whose fathers were professional athletes. Sometimes, genes even eliminated any guarantee that children would look like their parents. I realized all children deserved to be appreciated. I had never made it to Bishkek before, but we did adopt a child whom I would fight for in the new city. And I gladly welcomed this new fatherhood that had become my heart’s true home. Today, however, I cheer just as loudly as any other dad when my son scores a goal in soccer. He’s my son even though he doesn’t share my genes. I have also written out how much joy and love he has brought to our lives. I’ve now been writing journals with him for seven years. 4. What is the author’s initial attitude to moving to Bishkek and adopting a child? A. Optimistic. B. Curious C. Worried. D. Indifferent. 5. What does paragraph 2 mainly tell us about the author? A His internal conflict. B. His teaching experiences. C. His relationship with his child. D. His spirit of self-improvement. 6. What does the underlined word “eliminated” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Dominated. B. Removed. C. Confirmed. D. Exposed, 7. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Home: A Shelter for Loved Ones B. Fatherhood: A Journey of Acceptance C. Genes: A Bond Keeping Family Together D. A Foreign City: A Big Chance to Adopt a Child C About 300 years ago, some travelers along the Upper and Middle Orinoco River first reported sightings of mysterious rock engravings (版画), describing snakes and other patterns, along its shores. But as years passed, these artworks were recorded only in oral traditions and locals’ word of mouth. The precise location and proof of their existence remained absent. It wasn’t until 2015 that a team of archaeologists first arrived in the region with the goal of searching for clues of the artworks. After years of study, scientists found even more than they had anticipated. The team visited 157 sites that had rock art, 13 of which had engravings more than a dozen feet tall. A great variety of figures are described, including insects, birds, humans and other animals. In all, 60 individual engravings exceeded 30-foot dimensions, including a centipede (蜈蚣) and two figures. “Anything that size is monumental in our view,” Philip Riris, the study’s lead author, says. “That means they’re often visible from quite far away, maybe 500 meters to a kilometer.” But no creature was more common in the rock faces than snakes, of which the team found dozens. Interestingly, the team found that all of the snakes faced the river and were engraved where its waterline would have been two thousand years ago. The engravings would have been visible from higher ground, and certainly by those in incoming boats, leading the team to assume that they were used as territorial markers, boundaries, and landmarks. The team unearthed pottery (陶器) from the ecosystem. It had similar markings to those in rock and dates back about 2,000 years. The team estimates the engravings are about the same age and some 10,000 ancient rock engravings exist within a 1,000 square-mile area along the river. “The giant snake engravings studied in the paper are some of the largest single rock art images anywhere in the world and mainly come from the heart of a lowland tropical environment,” Patrick Roberts, an archaeologist at the Max Planck Institute says. 8. Why did the archaeologists go to the region in 2015? A. To map the river’s waterline. B. To study the local oral traditions. C. To find evidence of the rock engravings. D. To explore the biodiversity of the region. 9. How is paragraph 2 mainly developed? A. By listing data. B. By quoting documents. C. By making assumptions. D. By drawing comparisons. 10. What could the snake engravings have mainly functioned as? A. Donation. B. Admiration. C. Decoration. D. Indication. 11. What does Patrick Roberts mention about the giant snake engravings? A. Their distribution. B. Their components. C. Their symbolic meanings. D. Their impact on the environment. D For humans, aging is unavoidable. But axolotls (蝾螈), those cute smiling animals of pop culture fame, seemingly avoid this fate to a point. In a phenomenon called “neoteny”, axolotls never outgrow their initial stage, looking like oversize babies as adults. Not only do they look youthful, with feathery structures and distinctive characteristics, but these critically endangered Mexican species also experience few physical declines and diseases, and they can regenerate their limbs, tails, and even other organs over their 21-year lifespan. For that reason, human-bred axolotls, which are a light pink in color, are common research subjects for biologists, who have long been fascinated by their ability to fight aging. Now, a new study reveals one more mystery about these curious creatures. Their bodies stop one of the key mechanisms of aging — the epigenetic clock (表观遗传时钟) — when they’re just four years old. An epigenetic clock estimates an animal’s age based on how life events, such as stress or diet, turns its genes on and off. If an animal has experienced a lot of physical and mental pain, for instance, its epigenetic or biological age, could be much older than its real age. The findings could be one more step in the long quest to discover effective anti-aging treatments for humans, such as reducing inflammation (炎症), according to the study published on bioRxiv, a website where studies are posted without peer review. Chasing youth is a popular goal: The anti-aging market, valued at $40 billion, is estimated to hit $60 billion by 2032. What’s more, understanding axolotl genetics could inspire medicines for regenerating cells, muscles, or maybe even arms and legs. “It is a great leap forward in aging and regeneration,” says James Godwin, an immunologist at the MDI Biological Laboratory in Maine who was not involved in the new study. “If the mechanisms can be understood, then many opportunities to improve human health could present themselves.” The study team examined 180 axolotls from four weeks to 21 years of age.

Fortunately, there are strategies you can use to block out or at least minimize negative thinking so that it doesn’t bother you. Remember that you’re not a bad person for having bad thoughts. Everyone has negative thoughts. ____16____ As you experience life and emotions, various thoughts — good and bad — will pass through your mind. These random intrusions (侵入) are just thoughts, not real-life actions or reflections of your moral integrity. Release negative thoughts and images with mindfulness. ____17____ Instead of focusing on your negative thoughts or images, try viewing them as a passive observer. Then envision yourself letting them go like physical objects and watching them float away and out of your mind. ____18____ The media we consume has a significant impact on our mental health, especially the younger we are. If you read news or books, watch movies or TV shows, or play a lot of video games that contain elements of violence, horror, or other topics that leave you feeling down, limit your consumption of these materials. Speak to yourself in the way you’d speak to a friend. When an especially harsh, negative thought about your self-worth or appearance worms into your mind, take a step back and examine the thought critically. ____19____ So you shouldn’t speak to yourself that way, either. Practice gratitude each day. Using your phone or a physical notebook, record a few things you’re thankful for. These can be as simple as sunny weather or a kind driver letting you turn onto a busy road. When you cultivate gratitude, you give negativity less room to thrive in your headspace. ____20____ A. That’s just how the human brain functions. B. Think about the activities that make you happiest. C. You wouldn’t speak in that critical tone to a friend. D. Limit or avoid media that disturbs, frightens, or depresses you. E. They may make fun of you, but remember that you know your mind best. F. Try to practice gratitude around the same time each day so it becomes a habit. G. Focus on the present, allowing your thoughts to wander in and out of your mind. 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四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 One cold winter day, Don, in search of cans and bottles to exchange for some money, wandered into Watson’s café.

One day, he was involved in a car accident that left him with a severely injured leg. The doctor said he needed months to recover, which meant he had to stay at home. Jackson’s family was already struggling financially, and his inability to work only made things worse. They barely had enough money for food, let alone warm clothes for the cold winter. Every day felt like a battle, and the weight of their situation pressed heavily on Jackson’s shoulders. He often found himself staring out the window, watching the snow fall and feeling a deep sense of helplessness. Jackson’s neighbor, Lucas, was a kind-hearted man who always looked out for others. When he heard about Jackson’s situation, he couldn’t shake the feeling that he needed to do something. Lucas had seen Jackson’s family struggling, and it tugged (拽) at his heart. He decided to organize a clothing donation drive in the community. With a determined spirit, he went door to door, explaining Jackson’s situation and asking for spare winter clothes or financial contributions. To his surprise, the response was positive. People from all around the neighborhood generously donated warm coats, scarves, gloves, and even some money. Each donation felt like a small victory, a step towards helping his friend. A few days later, Lucas gathered all the donations and brought them to Jackson’s house. Jackson was overwhelmed with gratitude as he opened the boxes filled with clothes and saw the envelope of money. His eyes welled up with tears, and his voice trembled with emotion as he said, “Thank you so much, Lucas. This means more to me than you could ever know.” Lucas just smiled and said, “We are like family. I’m just glad I could help.” At that moment, Jackson felt a warmth in his heart that the winter cold couldn’t touch. He realized that even in his darkest times, there were people who cared. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 With the help of his neighbors, Jackson could get through the winter. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ At the charity, Jackson found a new purpose. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
