But now aerial (空中) cable cars are enhancing urban transportation in certain cities in creative ways. The following cities serve as remarkable examples. Medellín, Colombia Medellín’s Metro cable opened in 2004 and it marked a significant breakthrough. The line easily connected the neighborhoods in the city center to those on its outskirts, where a powerful culture of street art has emerged. A single-trip on the Metrocable takes only 15 to 20minutes and costs less than $3.60. Guayaquil, Ecuador In Guayaquil, an economic city in Ecuador, the cable car has solved the city’s commuting issues of the past two decades by connecting the city center with the new district. The transit line has five stops between the two areas. And the transit line costs about $2.20for a single ride. Toulouse, France In 2022, Europe opened its first aerial cable car transit system in Toulouse, France, making visiting the city quicker and easier for locals and visitors to explore both banks of Toulouse’s Garonne River. A single trip costs around $3.80, making it the cheapest means of transportation in Toulouse. Portland, Oregon Portland’s aerial transit has just one or two vehicles going back and forth between two stations. Nevertheless, it takes just five minutes to ride the Portland Aerial Tram between the South Waterfront downtown and Marquam Hill. Along this route, for just $3.70 per single trip, passengers can get a bird’s-eye view of the residential area, university, nature park, and hiking trails. The spectacular views are well worth the cost. 1. Which city offers the cheapest one-way cable car fare? A. Medellín, Colombia. B. Guayaquil, Ecuador. C. Toulouse, France. D. Portland, Oregon. 2. What can cable-riders probably do in Portland, Oregon? A Explore a historic riverbank. B. Overlook a university campus. C. Walk through a natural park. D. Dive into a rich street culture. 3. What do the four cable car systems have in common? A. Joining the city’s edges. B. Promoting international tourism. C. Connecting European landmarks. D. Improving urban transport efficiency. 【答案】1. B 2. B 3. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。介绍了全球部分城市利用空中缆车创新城市交通的情况。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章内容，Medell的缆车单程费用不到3.60美元；Guayaquil的缆车单程费用约为2.20美元；Toulouse的缆车单程费用约为3.80美元；Portland 的缆车单程费用为3.70美元。对比可知，Guayaquil, Ecuador提供的单程缆车票价最便宜。故选B。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Portland的描述“Along this route, for just $3.70 per single trip, passengers can get a bird’s-eye view of the residential area, university, nature park, and hiking trails.(沿着这条路线，每次单程只需3.70美元，乘客可以鸟瞰住宅区、大学、自然公园和徒步小径)” 可知，在 Portland 乘坐缆车的乘客可能俯瞰大学校园。故选B。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“But now aerial (空中) cable cars are enhancing urban transportation in certain cities in creative ways.(但现在空中缆车正在以创造性的方式提升某些城市的城市交通)”及下文接着分别介绍四个城市的缆车系统，如 Medellín 的缆车连接市中心和郊区，Guayaquil 的缆车解决了城市通勤问题，Toulouse 的缆车方便人们探索河流两岸，Portland 的缆车让乘客快速往返两个站点并欣赏风景，可知都体现了对城市交通效率的提升。故选D。 B I grew up in the slums (贫民窟) of Quezon City, the youngest of four siblings. At a very young age, I witnessed the realities of poverty. When I was three, my parents discovered my talent for art. By five, my skills were further developed when I received a sponsorship from UNICEF. That was my first dot, where I realized that creativity could play a big role in my future. Despite my passion for art, financial situation kept me from pursuing my dream of becoming an architect or working in advertising or animation. Instead, I enrolled in Business Administration, majoring in Marketing in a university. It was a practical choice—one that would later prove valuable. After graduation, I took short courses in graphic design, balancing my education with work to support myself. At 28, I started a small marketing agency with no fund; competing with larger firms was hard, so I eventually closed the agency to pursue a full-time marketing career in IT. I poured my heart into carrying out every marketing plan. My dedication earned me recognition and respect, but after four years, I was suddenly dismissed. Despite my frustration, I reminded myself of Steve Jobs’ words: “You have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future.” Losing my job was not the end—it was a new beginning. I therefore decided to complete my MBA studies and had a chance to be an exchange student abroad and reinvested in my passion by relaunching my marketing agency. In time, it boomed, securing multinational clients through relationships I had developed over the years. Despite the financial struggles and moments of near-depression, I never gave up. Like Steve Jobs said, “we may not always see how the dots connect at the moment, but when we look back, we realize they form a masterpiece.” 4. Why did the author choose to major in Marketing instead of art? A. Marketing was her dream. B. She lost her interest in art. C. Finances limited her choices. D. Her parents advised against art. 5. What does the term “dot” most likely symbolize? A. Great financial progress. B. Significant turning points. C. Individual achievements. D. Educational qualifications. 6. What was the author’s response to her unemployment? A. She abandoned her major. B. She embraced adaptability. C. She blamed external factors. D. She prioritized making money. 7. Why does the author quote Steve Jobs twice? A. To emphasize a core theme. B. To introduce a new concept. C. To contrast their experiences. D. To criticize corporate culture. 【答案】4. C 5. B 6. B 7. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了作者在贫民窟长大，虽自幼展现出艺术天赋，但因经济原因选择学习市场营销专业。毕业后在工作中经历挫折，被解雇后，作者以史蒂夫・乔布斯的话激励自己，积极做出改变，完成 MBA 学习，重新经营营销机构并取得成功。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Despite my passion for art, financial situation kept me from pursuing my dream of becoming an architect or working in advertising or animation. Instead, I enrolled in Business Administration, majoring in Marketing in a university.(尽管我对艺术充满热情，但经济状况使我无法追求成为建筑师或在广告、动画领域工作的梦想。相反，我在大学注册学习工商管理，主修市场营销)” 可知，作者选择主修市场营销而非艺术，是因为经济状况限制了她的选择。故选C。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段 “That was my first dot, where I realized that creativity could play a big role in my future.(那是我的第一个‘点’，在那里我意识到创造力在我未来可能发挥重要作用)” 以及最后一段 “we may not always see how the dots connect at the moment, but when we look back, we realize they form a masterpiece.(我们可能此刻并不总是能看到这些‘点’是如何连接的，但当我们回首往事时，我们意识到它们构成了一幅杰作)” 可知，“dot” 象征着人生中重要的转折点，这些点在人生历程中相互连接，构成人生的画卷。故选B。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“Losing my job was not the end—it was a new beginning. I therefore decided to complete my MBA studies and had a chance to be an exchange student abroad and reinvested in my passion by relaunching my marketing agency.(失业不是终点 —— 而是一个新的开始。因此，我决定完成我的工商管理硕士学习，并有机会作为交换生出国，通过重新推出我的营销机构，重新投入到我热爱的事业中)” 可知，作者失业后积极做出改变，展现出适应性。故选B。 【7题详解】 推理判断题 。 作者第一次引用史蒂夫・乔布斯的话是在被解雇后，用来激励自己相信挫折后的经历会在未来相互关联；第二次引用是在回顾经历时，再次强调人生中的各种经历就像 “点”，最终会构成精彩的人生。两次引用都是为了强调人生经历的关联性和重要性这一核心主题。故选A。 C Writer’s block doesn’t discriminate. From fresh-faced novelists to literary legends, this creative paralysis (瘫痪) has universally troubled giants throughout history. Maya Angelou experienced it. George R. R. Martin battled it. And in today’s world of endless scrolling (刷屏) and information overload, we’re facing a creativity crisis like never before. This crisis has shifted dramatically in recent years. Today’s writers aren’t just battling-their self-doubt but also an attention economy that has turned distraction into a powerful tool. Every message, every scroll or every like represents a potential distraction of the creative process. Yet writers are fighting back, and they’re winning with strategies that redefine our understanding of creative blocks. To regain their creative flow writers are adopting innovative solutions. Some turn back to old-fashioned typewriters, avoiding digital distractions through physical typing. Others use VR to create distraction-free virtual spaces. Changing environments, physical or digital, helps break negative patterns and spark creativity. Another emerging trend is the rise of writing collectives, such as The Midnight Oil Collective, which combine cognitive behavioral strategies, timed writing sessions and peer accountability (问责) to overcome blocks and boost productivity. The message from this creative revival is clear: writer’s block isn’t a creative death sentence — it’s a challenge to be overcome with the right tools and support. The block itself isn’t the enemy; it’s simply a signal that something in the approach needs to change. Whether the change involves adopting old-fashioned technology, diving into VR or joining a writing collective, today’s writers are proving that creativity can’t be permanently blocked — it just needs new channels to flow through. In this era of constant distraction and information overload, the solutions to writer’s block are evolving as rapidly as the challenges. The key lies not in fighting the block head-on, but in finding new pathways around it. As technology continues to advance and our understanding of creative psychology deepens, the tools for breaking through creative paralysis will only become more advanced and effective. 8. What makes today’s creativity crisis unique? A. Less reader interest. B. Poor education systems. C. Digital information overload. D. More competitive markets. 9. Why do some writers prefer typewriters? A. They quicken internet access. B. They arouse great memories. C. They simplify writers’ editing. D. They minimize digital distractions. 10. What can be inferred about writer’s block in paragraph 4? A. Manageable. B. Alternative. C. Fundamental. D. Permanent. 11. What’s the author’s attitude to overcoming writer’s blocks? A. Openly critical. B. Cautiously doubtful. C. Emotionally neutral. D. Firmly optimistic. 【答案】8. C 9. D 10. A 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文，主要探讨了作家们面临的创作瓶颈问题及其应对策略。在信息过载和注意力经济的背景下，作家们通过使用复古打字机、虚拟现实技术以及加入写作集体等方式，克服写作障碍，重获创作灵感。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“And in today’s world of endless scrolling (刷屏) and information overload, we’re facing a creativity crisis like never before.(在当今这个无休止刷屏和信息过载的世界里，我们正面临着前所未有的创造力危机)” 可知，数字信息过载使得当今的创造力危机独具特点。故选C。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Some turn back to old-fashioned typewriters, avoiding digital distractions through physical typing.(一些人重新使用老式打字机，通过物理打字避免数字干扰)”可知，一些作家更喜欢打字机是因为它们能将数字干扰降至最低。故选D。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“The message from this creative revival is clear: writer’s block isn’t a creative death sentence — it’s a challenge to be overcome with the right tools and support. The block itself isn’t the enemy; it’s simply a signal that something in the approach needs to change.(这场创作复兴传递的信息很明确：创作瓶颈并非创作的死刑判决——它是一个可以用正确工具和支持克服的挑战。创作瓶颈本身并非敌人，它只是表明方法上需要做出改变的一个信号)”可知，创作瓶颈是可以应对和处理的。故选A。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“As technology continues to advance and our understanding of creative psychology deepens, the tools for breaking through creative paralysis will only become more advanced and effective.(随着技术不断进步以及我们对创作心理学的理解不断加深，突破创作瘫痪的工具只会变得更加先进和有效)”可知，作者认为随着各种条件的发展，突破创作瓶颈的方法会越来越好，对克服创作瓶颈持坚定乐观的态度。故选D。 D Several years ago, a team of neuroscientists from the University of Southern California observed an extraordinary phenomenon — a subject mouse was attempting to revive its anesthetized (麻醉的) cage-mate with something like first aid. Similar behaviors have been informally documented in other species, including elephants and dolphins. Recently, Li Zhang and his colleagues show that unconscious mice elicit a series of behaviors from their cage-mates that seem to speed up their recovery from anesthesia. Oxytocin neurons (催产素神经元) are actually found to stir up these revival-like behaviors in mice, researchers reported in the journal Science. The team conducted experiments by presenting a subject mouse with both an unconscious mouse and an active mouse. They observed that the subject mouse interacted more with the unconscious mouse. First came the gentle smelling and licking, followed by mouth biting and tongue pulling if the unconscious mouse remained unresponsive. Further research reveals mice respond more to familiar mice than to strangers, occasionally to dead mice, but rarely to active or sleeping mice. Obviously, they don’t just respond; they evaluate the situation and recognize identities. The interventions, particularly tongue pulling, appeared to somewhat benefit the unconscious mouse’s recovery. However, Peggy Mason, a neuroscientist at the University of Chicago, questions whether the mouse intended to help or was merely curious, especially if they knew each other. To test for this possibility, the researchers repeated their experiment over five days, observing the continuous display of the behavior. If simply driven by curiosity, this behavior would decrease over time. The researchers found that oxytocin is crucial in helping activating this inborn “first-aid-like” behavior in mice. Given oxytocin is common across the animal kingdom, Zhang suspects that such behaviors might be widespread due to their potential benefits. “That remains to be seen,” says Mason. Nevertheless, the study suggests that animals engage in the emotions and behaviors of others around them in a much richer way than previously understood. 12. What does the underlined word “elicit” in Paragraph 2 mean? A. Generate. B. Speed. C. Observe. D. Recognize. 13. What behavior did Zhang’s team observe in mice? A. Interacting more with active mice. B. Ignoring familiar mice deliberately. C. Attacking sleeping mice frequently. D. Attempting to aid unconscious mates. 14. Why was the experiment repeated across a five-day period? A. To test the effectiveness of tongue pulling. B. To observe changes in mice’s social connections. C. To identify the motive behind mice’s “first-aid” acts. D. To measure the recovery speed for unconscious mice. 15. What is the best title for this passage? A. Oxytocin’s Universal Role in Animal Societies B. The Hidden Emotional Depth of Animal Species C. Lab Mice Display “First-Aid” Behaviors to Mates D. A New Study on Curiosity-Driven Behaviors in Mice 【答案】12. A 13. D 14. C 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了老鼠会对麻醉同伴做出类似急救的行为。 【12题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词后面的部分“a series of behaviors from their cage-mates that seem to speed up their recovery from anesthesia.(来自它们笼友的一系列行为，这些行为似乎能加速它们从麻醉中恢复过来)”可知，无意识的老鼠从它们的笼友那里引发了一系列似乎能加速它们从麻醉中恢复过来的行为，elicit意为“引发，激起”，与A选项Generate“产生 ”意思相近。故选A。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“The team conducted experiments by presenting a subject mouse with both an unconscious mouse and an active mouse. They observed that the subject mouse interacted more with the unconscious mouse.(研究小组将一只受试小鼠与一只无意识小鼠和一只活跃小鼠放在一起进行实验。他们观察到受试小鼠与无意识小鼠的互动更多)”以及后文描述可知，张的团队观察到老鼠试图帮助无意识的同伴。故选D。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“However, Peggy Mason, a neuroscientist at the University of Chicago, questions whether the mouse intended to help or was merely curious, especially if they knew each other. To test for this possibility, the researchers repeated their experiment over five days, observing the continuous display of the behavior.(然而，芝加哥大学的神经科学家佩吉·梅森对老鼠是打算帮忙还是仅仅出于好奇表示怀疑，尤其是当它们彼此认识的时候。为了验证这种可能性，研究人员在五天内重复了他们的实验，观察这种行为的持续表现)”可推知，实验在五天内重复进行是为了找出老鼠“急救”行为背后的动机。故选C。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段中“Several years ago, a team of neuroscientists from the University of Southern California observed an extraordinary phenomenon — a subject mouse was attempting to revive its anesthetized (麻醉的) cage-mate with something like first aid.(几年前，南加州大学的一组神经科学家观察到了一个非凡的现象——一只受试老鼠正试图用类似急救的方法来唤醒它被麻醉的笼友)”以及结合全文可知，文章主要讲述了研究人员发现老鼠会试图帮助它们无意识的同伴，这种行为似乎能加速同伴从麻醉中恢复过来，以及研究人员对这一现象的进一步研究和解释。可知，C选项“实验鼠对同伴表现出“急救”行为”最符合文章标题。故选C。 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。 In today’s fast-paced world, maintaining good mental health is crucial for overall well-being.

Her eyes widened. “But ... why do they need to learn? Did they forget how?” The question cut through me. Children use crayons like magic sticks. That week, she drew a “Mars Palace” where astronaut-princesses rode rainbow rockets. I once dreamed too big. At twelve, I trained daily to be a tennis champion, racket (球拍) making shiny lines in summer sun. At sixteen, I filled notebooks with drawings—spaceships flying through space holes, heroes saving cities with paint. But adulthood threw those dreams into neat, dusty boxes labeled “Childish Things.” “Be practical,” I told myself when choosing a business degree. “Art doesn’t pay bills.” Yet late at night, I saw my younger self in the mirror—a ghost holding empty drawing-books. One October afternoon, everything changed. My daughter begged to explore the store room. Beneath old bags, we found a box, inside which lay my teenage treasures: a tennis ticket piece, a ribbon from a school art fair, and most amazingly, a drawing book. Its pages were full of crazy ideas — trees with magic fruits, trains under ocean waves. “Mom!” she gasped, touching a lion with wings I drew when I was her age, “Why stop believing these?” That night, I sat in front of a blank canvas (画布). The moonlight shone on my hands. The lion’s eyes in my old drawing seemed to ask me, “When did you stop dreaming?” Suddenly, I realized I had stopped myself by always needing a clear plan before I let myself dream. The next morning, I bought new paints. I didn’t paint normal things like trees or houses. I used bright purples and golds. My daughter danced around me, using her fingers to make clouds. We painted dogs doing math and dinosaurs growing flowers. For the first time in twenty years, I felt free again. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题纸相应位置作答。 Three months later, the community announced a painting contest. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ At the award ceremony, a silver-haired judge approached me. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】(possible version) Three months later, the community announced a painting contest. My daughter put the poster to my drawing board and said, “Mom! Let’s paint our garden dinosaurs!” For many days, we painted together on a big wooden board. Some teenagers laughed at our big T-Rex with a flower crown, but kind shopkeepers gave us fruits. On the last night, when I was drawing stars on the dinosaur’s claws, my old business teacher walked by. “Interesting…but is this useful?” he asked. Before I could say anything, my daughter said, “Dreams don’t need resumes!” At the award ceremony, a silver-haired judge approached me. “Your painting didn’t fit any of our old rules,” she said with a smile. “So we made a new prize: Most Courageous Reimagining.” Later, as cameras flashed and we held our Golden Cup, I saw a teenage girl in the crowd drawing quickly. In her notebook, astronauts were painting walls on Mars. I leaned down and said, “Don’t let anyone tell you that’s impossible.” She smiled and drew rainbow rockets around them. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者在女儿七岁询问自己工作后，回忆起自己儿时充满梦想，如想成为网球冠军、进行艺术创作，但成年后因追求 “实际” 而放弃梦想。在女儿发现作者年少时的绘画作品后，作者重新拿起画笔，与女儿一起自由创作，重获自由的感觉。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“三个月后，社区宣布举办一场绘画比赛。”可知，第一段可描写作者 和女儿参赛的过程。包括女儿提议参赛、一起创作过程中遇到的情况，如青少年的嘲笑、店主的支持，以及老师的质疑等。 ②由第二段首句内容“在颁奖典礼上，一位满头银发的评委走近我。”可知，第二段可描写评委对作者画作的评价，作者获得新奖项，以及看到人群中一个女孩画画，作者 对她的鼓励。 2.续写线索：社区宣布比赛 —— 女儿提议参赛 —— 一起创作遇嘲笑与支持及老师质疑 —— 颁奖典礼评委评价 —— 获得新奖项 —— 鼓励女孩追梦想 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①放置：put /place ②适合：fit/suit ③举起：hold/lift 情绪类 ①微笑：smile/beam 【点睛】【高分句型 1】On the last night, when I was drawing stars on the dinosaur’s claws, my old business teacher walked by.（运用了when引导的时间状语从句） 【高分句型 2】Before I could say anything, my daughter said, “Dreams don’t need resumes!”（运用了before引导的时间状语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 九江市2025年第三次高考模拟统一考试 英 语 本试卷分第Ⅰ卷 (选择题) 和第Ⅱ卷 (非选择题) 两部分;满分150分，考试时间120分钟。 第Ⅰ卷 (选择题，满分95分) 考生注意： 1. 答题前，请务必将自己的姓名、准考证号用黑色字迹的签字笔或钢笔分别填写在试题卷和答题纸规定的位置上。 2. 答题时，请按照答题纸上“注意事项”的要求，在答题纸相应的位置上规范作答，在本试题卷上的作答一律无效。 第一部分 听力 (共两节，满分30分) 做题时，请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纸上。 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，并标在试卷的相应位置。听完每段对话，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?

But now aerial (空中) cable cars are enhancing urban transportation in certain cities in creative ways. The following cities serve as remarkable examples. Medellín, Colombia Medellín’s Metro cable opened in 2004 and it marked a significant breakthrough. The line easily connected the neighborhoods in the city center to those on its outskirts, where a powerful culture of street art has emerged. A single-trip on the Metrocable takes only 15 to 20minutes and costs less than $3.60. Guayaquil, Ecuador In Guayaquil, an economic city in Ecuador, the cable car has solved the city’s commuting issues of the past two decades by connecting the city center with the new district. The transit line has five stops between the two areas. And the transit line costs about $2.20for a single ride. Toulouse, France In 2022, Europe opened its first aerial cable car transit system in Toulouse, France, making visiting the city quicker and easier for locals and visitors to explore both banks of Toulouse’s Garonne River. A single trip costs around $3.80, making it the cheapest means of transportation in Toulouse. Portland, Oregon Portland’s aerial transit has just one or two vehicles going back and forth between two stations. Nevertheless, it takes just five minutes to ride the Portland Aerial Tram between the South Waterfront downtown and Marquam Hill. Along this route, for just $3.70 per single trip, passengers can get a bird’s-eye view of the residential area, university, nature park, and hiking trails. The spectacular views are well worth the cost. 1. Which city offers the cheapest one-way cable car fare? A. Medellín, Colombia. B. Guayaquil, Ecuador. C. Toulouse, France. D. Portland, Oregon. 2. What can cable-riders probably do in Portland, Oregon? A. Explore a historic riverbank. B. Overlook a university campus. C. Walk through a natural park. D. Dive into a rich street culture. 3. What do the four cable car systems have in common? A. Joining the city’s edges. B. Promoting international tourism. C. Connecting European landmarks. D. Improving urban transport efficiency. B I grew up in the slums (贫民窟) of Quezon City, the youngest of four siblings. At a very young age, I witnessed the realities of poverty. When I was three, my parents discovered my talent for art. By five, my skills were further developed when I received a sponsorship from UNICEF. That was my first dot, where I realized that creativity could play a big role in my future. Despite my passion for art, financial situation kept me from pursuing my dream of becoming an architect or working in advertising or animation. Instead, I enrolled in Business Administration, majoring in Marketing in a university. It was a practical choice—one that would later prove valuable. After graduation, I took short courses in graphic design, balancing my education with work to support myself. At 28, I started a small marketing agency with no fund; competing with larger firms was hard, so I eventually closed the agency to pursue a full-time marketing career in IT. I poured my heart into carrying out every marketing plan. My dedication earned me recognition and respect, but after four years, I was suddenly dismissed. Despite my frustration, I reminded myself of Steve Jobs’ words: “You have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future.” Losing my job was not the end—it was a new beginning. I therefore decided to complete my MBA studies and had a chance to be an exchange student abroad and reinvested in my passion by relaunching my marketing agency. In time, it boomed, securing multinational clients through relationships I had developed over the years. Despite the financial struggles and moments of near-depression, I never gave up. Like Steve Jobs said, “we may not always see how the dots connect at the moment, but when we look back, we realize they form a masterpiece.” 4. Why did the author choose to major in Marketing instead of art? A. Marketing was her dream. B. She lost her interest in art. C. Finances limited her choices. D. Her parents advised against art. 5. What does the term “dot” most likely symbolize? A. Great financial progress. B. Significant turning points. C. Individual achievements. D. Educational qualifications. 6. What was the author’s response to her unemployment? A. She abandoned her major. B. She embraced adaptability. C. She blamed external factors. D. She prioritized making money. 7. Why does the author quote Steve Jobs twice? A To emphasize a core theme. B. To introduce a new concept. C. To contrast their experiences. D. To criticize corporate culture. C Writer’s block doesn’t discriminate. From fresh-faced novelists to literary legends, this creative paralysis (瘫痪) has universally troubled giants throughout history. Maya Angelou experienced it. George R. R. Martin battled it. And in today’s world of endless scrolling (刷屏) and information overload, we’re facing a creativity crisis like never before. This crisis has shifted dramatically in recent years. Today’s writers aren’t just battling-their self-doubt but also an attention economy that has turned distraction into a powerful tool. Every message, every scroll or every like represents a potential distraction of the creative process. Yet writers are fighting back, and they’re winning with strategies that redefine our understanding of creative blocks. To regain their creative flow, writers are adopting innovative solutions. Some turn back to old-fashioned typewriters, avoiding digital distractions through physical typing. Others use VR to create distraction-free virtual spaces. Changing environments, physical or digital, helps break negative patterns and spark creativity. Another emerging trend is the rise of writing collectives, such as The Midnight Oil Collective, which combine cognitive behavioral strategies, timed writing sessions and peer accountability (问责) to overcome blocks and boost productivity. The message from this creative revival is clear: writer’s block isn’t a creative death sentence — it’s a challenge to be overcome with the right tools and support. The block itself isn’t the enemy; it’s simply a signal that something in the approach needs to change. Whether the change involves adopting old-fashioned technology, diving into VR or joining a writing collective, today’s writers are proving that creativity can’t be permanently blocked — it just needs new channels to flow through. In this era of constant distraction and information overload, the solutions to writer’s block are evolving as rapidly as the challenges. The key lies not in fighting the block head-on, but in finding new pathways around it. As technology continues to advance and our understanding of creative psychology deepens, the tools for breaking through creative paralysis will only become more advanced and effective. 8. What makes today’s creativity crisis unique? A. Less reader interest. B. Poor education systems. C. Digital information overload. D. More competitive markets. 9. Why do some writers prefer typewriters? A. They quicken internet access. B. They arouse great memories. C. They simplify writers’ editing. D. They minimize digital distractions. 10. What can be inferred about writer’s block in paragraph 4? A. Manageable. B. Alternative. C. Fundamental. D. Permanent. 11. What’s the author’s attitude to overcoming writer’s blocks? A. Openly critical. B. Cautiously doubtful. C. Emotionally neutral. D. Firmly optimistic. D Several years ago, a team of neuroscientists from the University of Southern California observed an extraordinary phenomenon — a subject mouse was attempting to revive its anesthetized (麻醉的) cage-mate with something like first aid. Similar behaviors have been informally documented in other species, including elephants and dolphins. Recently, Li Zhang and his colleagues show that unconscious mice elicit a series of behaviors from their cage-mates that seem to speed up their recovery from anesthesia. Oxytocin neurons (催产素神经元) are actually found to stir up these revival-like behaviors in mice, researchers reported in the journal Science. The team conducted experiments by presenting a subject mouse with both an unconscious mouse and an active mouse. They observed that the subject mouse interacted more with the unconscious mouse. First came the gentle smelling and licking, followed by mouth biting and tongue pulling if the unconscious mouse remained unresponsive. Further research reveals mice respond more to familiar mice than to strangers, occasionally to dead mice, but rarely to active or sleeping mice. Obviously, they don’t just respond; they evaluate the situation and recognize identities. The interventions, particularly tongue pulling, appeared to somewhat benefit the unconscious mouse’s recovery. However, Peggy Mason, a neuroscientist at the University of Chicago, questions whether the mouse intended to help or was merely curious, especially if they knew each other. To test for this possibility, the researchers repeated their experiment over five days, observing the continuous display of the behavior. If simply driven by curiosity, this behavior would decrease over time. The researchers found that oxytocin is crucial in helping activating this inborn “first-aid-like” behavior in mice. Given oxytocin is common across the animal kingdom, Zhang suspects that such behaviors might be widespread due to their potential benefits. “That remains to be seen,” says Mason. Nevertheless, the study suggests that animals engage in the emotions and behaviors of others around them in a much richer way than previously understood. 12. What does the underlined word “elicit” in Paragraph 2 mean? A. Generate. B. Speed. C. Observe. D. Recognize. 13. What behavior did Zhang’s team observe in mice? A. Interacting more with active mice. B. Ignoring familiar mice deliberately. C. Attacking sleeping mice frequently. D. Attempting to aid unconscious mates. 14. Why was the experiment repeated across a five-day period? A.

Her eyes widened. “But ... why do they need to learn? Did they forget how?” The question cut through me. Children use crayons like magic sticks. That week, she drew a “Mars Palace” where astronaut-princesses rode rainbow rockets. I once dreamed too big. At twelve, I trained daily to be a tennis champion, racket (球拍) making shiny lines in summer sun. At sixteen, I filled notebooks with drawings—spaceships flying through space holes, heroes saving cities with paint. But adulthood threw those dreams into neat, dusty boxes labeled “Childish Things.” “Be practical,” I told myself when choosing a business degree. “Art doesn’t pay bills.” Yet late at night, I saw my younger self in the mirror—a ghost holding empty drawing-books. One October afternoon, everything changed. My daughter begged to explore the store room. Beneath old bags, we found a box, inside which lay my teenage treasures: a tennis ticket piece, a ribbon from a school art fair, and most amazingly, a drawing book. Its pages were full of crazy ideas — trees with magic fruits, trains under ocean waves. “Mom!” she gasped, touching a lion with wings I drew when I was her age, “Why stop believing these?” That night, I sat in front of a blank canvas (画布). The moonlight shone on my hands. The lion’s eyes in my old drawing seemed to ask me, “When did you stop dreaming?” Suddenly, I realized I had stopped myself by always needing a clear plan before I let myself dream. The next morning, I bought new paints. I didn’t paint normal things like trees or houses. I used bright purples and golds. My daughter danced around me, using her fingers to make clouds. We painted dogs doing math and dinosaurs growing flowers. For the first time in twenty years, I felt free again. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 Three months later, the community announced a painting contest. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ At the award ceremony, a silver-haired judge approached me. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
