Horizon Hotel & Conference Centre — 5 stars www.hotelhorizon.br | 320 rooms Applicants are asked to hand in their letter of intention before 24 June, 2023. Horizon Hotels and Conference Centres (HHCC) invites several construction companies to present a plan for designing a Hotel and Conference Centre in Rio de Janeiro. HHCC is an international chain of high-class hotels and conference centres. It is famous for providing luxury accommodation and incredible service. We largely intend the hotel to be used for conferences and formal meetings by groups from throughout the world. Selected construction companies are required to hand in a plan for the ground floor of the building, which will be L-shaped. Details of the project are as follows. The hotel will have seven floors: Basement — equipment and storage Ground floor — facilities to be decided First floor — a large conference room, three meeting rooms and a seminar room Second floor — office accommodation Third-fifth floors — bedrooms Sixth floor — a large restaurant, available for guests and the general public The contract to design the hotel and conference centre will be awarded to the construction company which produces the best plan for the ground floor. 1 Which word best fits the question mark “??” in the passage? A. APPROACH. B. INVITATION C. CONTRACT D. Handing-in 2. According to the passage, the hotel to be built will be mainly intended for________. A. conference participants B. holiday makers C. construction companies D. project applicants 3. HHCC’s ultimate decision will be based on the best design of________. A. the basement B. the first floor C. the entire building D. the ground floor B I have no intention of looking down on business, yet it simply didn’t suit me. Initially, I entered the business world for financial gain. Besides being able to support my family, money was all I got from it. It failed to bring me a sense of fulfillment, which made me immersed in dissatisfaction and even suffering from torture and pain. My one ambition was to save enough money to quit and go to Europe to pursue my passion for music. During that period, I would rise at dawn to practice playing the violin before heading to work. At noon, instead of having lunch with my business associates, I would frequent cheap cafes, where I had a quick meal and wrote down some violin exercises. After a long time of such efforts, I finally managed to save enough money. As my family’s financial situation had improved and they no longer required my financial support, I resigned from my position. The moment I left, I felt as if I had been released from prison, and soon I set sail for Europe to pursue my dream. The four-year study in Europe was beyond amazing. Though I worked more diligently than I could have ever imagined, every single moment was a source of joy. “Enjoyed” is far too mild a word to describe my feelings; I was truly on cloud nine. For the first time, I felt that I was truly living, engaged in what I loved and was meant to do. If I had remained in business, perhaps I would be a relatively wealthy person today. Nevertheless, I firmly believe that I would not have achieved a truly successful life. I would have given up all those intangible rewards, those inner satisfactions that money can never purchase, and that are often sacrificed when one’s main pursuit is financial success. Quitting my job went against the advice of nearly all my friends and family. We are so conditioned to link success with money that the idea of giving up a well-paid job for a dream seemed almost crazy. If so, all I can say is “Gee, it’s great to be crazy.”Money is a wonderful thing, but it’s possible to pay too high a price for it. 4. Why did the author go into business? A. Because he hadn’t identified his passion. B. Because he was immersed in dissatisfaction. C. Because he had to earn money and help his family. D. Because he had no intention of despise it. 5. Which can best replace the underlined word “intangible” in paragraph 4? A. Invisible. B. Miserable. C. Accessible. D. Possible. 6. Which of the following can best describe the author? A. Honest and tolerant. B. Responsible and fearless. C. Diligent and talented. D. Innovative and considerate. 7. What message does the author want to convey by sharing his experiences? A. Constant dripping wears away a stone. B. Fortune favors the bold. C. As you sow, so shall you reap. D. Money can make a living, but passion makes a life. C When we think about lives filled with meaning, we often focus on people whose grand contributions benefited humanity. Abraham Lincoln, Martin Luther King and Nelson Mandela surely felt they had a worthwhile life. But how about us ordinary people, struggling in a typical existence? There is an important element to consider. Think about the first butterfly you stop to admire after a long winter or imagine the scenery at the top of a hill after a fresh hike. Sometimes existence delivers us small moments of beauty. When people are open to appreciating such experiences, these moments may enhance how they view their life. This element is defined as EA (experiential appreciation) by Joshua Hicks, a psychological professor at Texas A & M University. Recently, he and his research team set out to figure out whether EA was related to a person’s sense of meaning in a series of studies that involved more than 3,000 participants. At an initial test, researchers had participants rate their agreement of different coping strategies to relieve their stress. They found people who managed stress by focusing on their appreciation for life’s beauty also reported experiencing life as highly meaningful. Researchers then conducted a series of experiments, in which they gave participants specific tasks and, once more, asked them to report how strongly they identified with statements linked to purpose, etc. In one case, participants who watched an awe-inspiring video reported having a greater sense of EA and meaning in life, compared with those watched more neutral videos. After reflecting on the results collected from the participants, researchers confirmed their original theory. But applying that insight can be difficult. Our modern, fast-paced lifestyles fill the day with targets and goals. We are on the go, and we attempt to maximize output both at work and at leisure. This focus on future outcomes makes it all too easy to miss what is happening right now. Yet life happens in the present moment. We should slow down, let life surprise us and embrace the significance in the everyday life. 8. Why are the butterfly and the scenery on a hill mentioned in paragraph 2? A. To deliver moments of beauty. B. To explain personal experiences. C. To present the concept of EA. D. To show the necessity of protecting nature. 9. How did the researchers conduct the study? A. By studying previous research data. B. By analyzing the response from the participants. C. By shooting videos starring the participants. D. By designing different strategies to reduce stress. 10. Who tends to find life more meaningful according to the text? A. A person who always gets her life well-organized. B. A person who leads a fast-paced life. C. A person who often hears motivating speeches. D. A person who always expects future results. 11. What life philosophy does the author show in the last paragraph? A. No pains, no gains. B. Live your life one day at a time. C. Being on sea, sail; being on land, settle. D. Those who believe in their ability can do anything. D My late mother was an artist of some renown in the Pacific Northwest. Over her many-decades career, her paintings evolved from highly representational watercolors into mixed-media abstracts. Growing up, I could draw a little myself and enjoyed doing so, but I never had her talent. Once, I asked her how I could improve. I supposed I expected her to say something like “Practice 10,000 hours.” Instead, she told me to look at what I wanted to draw. I stared at a tree, noticing details I’d ignored before: the rough bark, shifting shadows, and delicate leaves. Drawing each detail carefully, I created my best work yet. More importantly, I discovered the joy of truly observing the world. This act of deep attention is called savoring — a skill that enriches both art and life. Psychologists define it as “fully appreciating positive moments,” like enjoying a sunset or reliving happy memories. Studies show savoring activates the brain’s reward system, reduces sadness, and boosts happiness. In experiments, people who focused on daily positive experiences became happier, especially those with fewer good moments. Savoring also creates vivid, lasting memories of joy. Yet humans naturally focus on negatives — a survival instinct from ancestors who needed to avoid dangers. Today, this “negativity bias (偏见)” often backfires, making us trapped in problems and overlook good moments. Scientists warn that constant negativity twists thinking and lowers life satisfaction. The solution? Practice savoring. Start with positive moments: pause to enjoy a meal or a friend’s laugh. But challenges can also be savored. Try a “failure journal”: write down a setback (e.g., an argument), leave space, then return weeks later to note lessons learned (“I improved communication”). Months later, add positive outcomes (“We grew closer”). This involves savoring — and shows how you can use the practice to transform even unwelcome experiences into positive opportunities for growth and perspective. This reframing helps find meaning in difficulties, much like finding beauty in an imperfect drawing. My mother’s advice wasn’t just about art — it was about living. By observing deeply, we uncover hidden layers in both the ordinary and the difficult. Savoring turns fleeting moments into lasting joy and challenges into growth. That’s the true art of life. 12. What does the author focus on by the personal story? A. Observing the world is essential for a painting. B. Every detail deserves attention when drawing. C. Deep attention is a source of living a happy life. D. Savoring is a skill of truly observing the world. 13. What does the author imply about “negativity bias” in modern life? A. It is necessary for survival today. B. It reduces our ability to enjoy life. C. It helps us avoid dangers effectively. D. It improves people’s life satisfaction. 14. According to the text, what is a “failure journal” used for? A. Reflecting on setbacks to find positive results. B. Tracking mistakes to avoid errors in the future. C. Recording positive moments and the emotions. D. Keeping track of the interpersonal relationships. 15. Why does the author compare “savoring” to “finding beauty in an imperfect drawing”? A. To explain that art involves accepting flaws. B. To criticize people who focus on negativity. C. To show challenges can be changed into growth. D. To argue that art is more important than science. 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。 Have you ever wondered who it was that invented mathematics? Actually, unlike a light bulb or a computer, mathematics isn’t something that was invented by someone. ____16____ And its discovery can’t even be attributed to one person. Instead, mathematics developed gradually over thousands of years through the contributions of many people! ____17____ No one can know for sure, but we can use our imaginations to think about how mathematics might have gotten its start. For example, if we go all the way back to prehistoric humans gathering peaches to eat, we can imagine how this basic task probably gave rise to a need for math. If you and your prehistoric friend gathered a basket full of peaches, you’d probably agree to split them evenly. First, you’d need to know how many peaches you gathered. ____18____ You might first need to come up with names for the basic units of measurement. This might be how counting and the earliest numbers came about. Similarly, division might have originated from the need to split that pile of peaches. ____19____ And scientists believe that many basic mathematical functions, such as addition and multiplication appeared thousands of years ago in various areas at the same time, including China, India, Mesopotamia, and Egypt. More advanced mathematics is traced to ancient Greece over 2,500 years ago. ____20____ Since then, mathematical findings have inspired later mathematicians and scientists to build on predecessors’ work, continuously broadening our comprehension of mathematics and its connection to the world. A. How did it get started? B. It’s really more of a discovery. C. That means you’d need to count them. D. Prehistoric humans may have known more math than we assume. E. They would have been the first to discover the basics of mathematics. F. It was around this time that mathematics first became an organized science. G. In fact, many mathematical principles were developed in response to practical needs. 第三部分 语言运用 (共两节，满分 30 分) 第一节 完形填空 (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。 “37 ... 38 ... 39!

In low spirits, we discussed all the treatment ____29____, and finally the vet shook his head slowly, saying, “Just take her home and make her happy.” I felt heartbroken. Then I took Mica hiking. We ______30______ to completing the Catskill 35 — the thirty-five highest mountains in the Catskill region. We took it mountain by mountain, hike by hike.

His palms had left damp marks on his Of Mice and Men script. Across the rehearsal (排练) room, Liam was doing his usual annoying trick — balancing a pencil on his nose during rehearsals — for the third time this week. Last year, they were great partners when they acted in The Outsiders together. Their rooftop “Stay gold” scene even got featured in the school newsletter. But now, everything changed. The trouble started during rehearsals. Jason insisted on following the book’s exact gestures. But Liam kept adding new moves — hugging an invisible puppy during serious lines, pretending to trip over “rabbits”. “Lennie wouldn’t do that!” Jason whispered angrily after a rehearsal. “At least my Lennie wouldn’t sound like a human tape recorder,” Liam snapped back. Their fight grew bigger every day. Liam put vinegar in Jason’s water bottle. Jason “accidentally” locked Liam’s favorite script in the storage room. Their teacher even put up a sign saying “NO MOREFOOD FIGHTS” after they threw ketchup packets at each other. The exploding moment came during their final practice. During the barn scene, Liam suddenly howled like a wolf. The younger students laughed loudly. Jason was so mad that he ran off the stage — and crashed right into the wooden chairs, breaking three of them. That night, Jason couldn’t sleep. He kept thinking about how Liam used to gently push his shoulder before scary scenes to encourage him. At 1 AM, he got on his bike and rode back to school. The storage room light was on. Inside, Liam was sitting on the floor, trying to fix the broken chairs. Next to him was a chocolate bar — the kind Jason always ate. Jason froze his eyes wide with a mix of astonishment and guilt when he realized it was the chairs he had kicked and broken. “Liam... I... I didn’t think I’d see you here fixing these,” Jason stammered, his voice barely above a whisper. Liam kept his head low, “Yeah, well, someone had to. The show is next week.” 注意： 1.续写词数应150个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Jason, at a loss for words but eager to help, grabbed a hammer and nails. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ On performance day, Jason and Liam stood side by side, ready to take the stage. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 武汉二中2025届高三年级高考模拟考试 英语试卷 试卷满分:150分 第一部分 听力 (共两节，满分 30 分) 注意，听力部分答题时，请先将答案标在试卷上。听力部分结束前，你将有两分钟的时间将答案转涂到答题卡上。 第一节 (共 5 小题；每小题 1.5 分，满分 7.5 分) 听下面 5 段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的 A、B、C 三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有 10 秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 1.What will the woman do next?

As my family’s financial situation had improved and they no longer required my financial support, I resigned from my position. The moment I left, I felt as if I had been released from prison, and soon I set sail for Europe to pursue my dream. The four-year study in Europe was beyond amazing. Though I worked more diligently than I could have ever imagined, every single moment was a source of joy. “Enjoyed” is far too mild a word to describe my feelings; I was truly on cloud nine. For the first time, I felt that I was truly living, engaged in what I loved and was meant to do. If I had remained in business, perhaps I would be a relatively wealthy person today. Nevertheless, I firmly believe that I would not have achieved a truly successful life. I would have given up all those intangible rewards, those inner satisfactions that money can never purchase, and that are often sacrificed when one’s main pursuit is financial success. Quitting my job went against the advice of nearly all my friends and family. We are so conditioned to link success with money that the idea of giving up a well-paid job for a dream seemed almost crazy. If so, all I can say is “Gee, it’s great to be crazy.”Money is a wonderful thing, but it’s possible to pay too high a price for it. 4. Why did the author go into business? A. Because he hadn’t identified his passion. B. Because he was immersed in dissatisfaction. C. Because he had to earn money and help his family. D. Because he had no intention of despise it. 5. Which can best replace the underlined word “intangible” in paragraph 4? A. Invisible. B. Miserable. C. Accessible. D. Possible. 6. Which of the following can best describe the author? A. Honest and tolerant. B. Responsible and fearless. C. Diligent and talented. D. Innovative and considerate. 7. What message does the author want to convey by sharing his experiences? A. Constant dripping wears away a stone. B. Fortune favors the bold. C. As you sow, so shall you reap. D. Money can make a living, but passion makes a life. 【答案】4. C 5. A 6. B 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述作者为赚钱养家投身商界，后为追求音乐梦想辞职赴欧的经历及感悟。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Initially, I entered the business world for financial gain. Besides being able to support my family, money was all I got from it. (起初，我进入商界是为了经济利益。除了能够养家糊口，钱是我从中学到的全部。)”可知，作者进入商界是因为需要赚钱养家。故选C项。 【5题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线单词所在的句子“I would have given up all those … rewards (我将放弃所有那些……的回报)”可知，此处指的是作者可能放弃了某种回报，结合下文rewards的同位语“those inner satisfactions that money can never purchase, and that are often sacrificed when one’s main pursuit is financial success. (那些金钱永远无法购买的内心满足感，而这些往往在一个人的主要追求是财务成功时被牺牲掉。)”可知，金钱无法购买到的以及在追求财务成功时牺牲掉的是那些看不到的回报，所以划线单词的意思与“看不到的，无形的”意义相近。故选A项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Initially, I entered the business world for financial gain. Besides being able to support my family, money was all I got from it. (最初，我进入商业领域是为了赚钱。除了能够养家糊口，我从中只得到了金钱。)”以及第二段中的“As my family’s financial situation had improved and they no longer required my financial support, I resigned from my position. (随着我家里的经济状况改善，他们不再需要我的经济支持，于是我辞去了职位。)”可知，作者进入商业领域是为了挣钱养家，并且在家里不再需要经济支持时才辞职追求自己的梦想，由此可知，作者是一个有责任心的人，结合尾段中的“Quitting my job went against the advice of nearly all my friends and family. We are so conditioned to link success with money that the idea of giving up a well-paid job for a dream seemed almost crazy. If so, all I can say is “Gee, it’s great to be crazy.” (辞职违背了几乎所有朋友和家人的建议。我们总是习惯于将成功与金钱挂钩，因此为了梦想放弃高薪工作似乎近乎疯狂。如果真是这样，我只能说：“天哪，疯狂真好。”)”可知，作者为了追求自己的梦想反而放弃高薪工作，且违背几乎所有朋友和家人的建议，由此可知，作者是无畏的，综合以上信息可知，作者是负责任且无畏的。故选B项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据首段中的“Besides being able to support my family, money was all I got from it. It failed to bring me a sense of fulfillment, which made me immersed in dissatisfaction and even suffering from torture and pain. My one ambition was to save enough money to quit and go to Europe to pursue my passion for music. (除了能够养家糊口，我从中只得到了金钱。它未能给我带来成就感，这让我深陷不满，甚至遭受痛苦和折磨。我唯一的愿望就是攒够钱辞职，去欧洲追求我对音乐的热爱。)”可知，作者为了养家而进入商业领域，这未能给作者带来成就感，希望攒够钱辞职去追求对音乐的热爱，结合下文中介绍的作者违背了家人和朋友的建议最终选择了放弃高薪工作去欧洲学习音乐，从中获得了真正的满足感的经历以及作者对追求事业与音乐梦想之间的冲突与抉择的感悟可知，作者通过自身经历传达“金钱能维持生计，但激情才能创造有意义的生活” 的理念。故选D项。 C When we think about lives filled with meaning, we often focus on people whose grand contributions benefited humanity. Abraham Lincoln, Martin Luther King and Nelson Mandela surely felt they had a worthwhile life. But how about us ordinary people, struggling in a typical existence? There is an important element to consider. Think about the first butterfly you stop to admire after a long winter or imagine the scenery at the top of a hill after a fresh hike. Sometimes existence delivers us small moments of beauty. When people are open to appreciating such experiences, these moments may enhance how they view their life. This element is defined as EA (experiential appreciation) by Joshua Hicks, a psychological professor at Texas A & M University. Recently, he and his research team set out to figure out whether EA was related to a person’s sense of meaning in a series of studies that involved more than 3,000 participants. At an initial test, researchers had participants rate their agreement of different coping strategies to relieve their stress. They found people who managed stress by focusing on their appreciation for life’s beauty also reported experiencing life as highly meaningful. Researchers then conducted a series of experiments, in which they gave participants specific tasks and, once more, asked them to report how strongly they identified with statements linked to purpose, etc. In one case, participants who watched an awe-inspiring video reported having a greater sense of EA and meaning in life, compared with those watched more neutral videos. After reflecting on the results collected from the participants, researchers confirmed their original theory. But applying that insight can be difficult. Our modern, fast-paced lifestyles fill the day with targets and goals. We are on the go, and we attempt to maximize output both at work and at leisure. This focus on future outcomes makes it all too easy to miss what is happening right now. Yet life happens in the present moment. We should slow down, let life surprise us and embrace the significance in the everyday life. 8. Why are the butterfly and the scenery on a hill mentioned in paragraph 2? A. To deliver moments of beauty. B. To explain personal experiences. C. To present the concept of EA. D. To show the necessity of protecting nature. 9. How did the researchers conduct the study? A. By studying previous research data. B. By analyzing the response from the participants. C. By shooting videos starring the participants. D. By designing different strategies to reduce stress. 10. Who tends to find life more meaningful according to the text? A. A person who always gets her life well-organized. B A person who leads a fast-paced life. C. A person who often hears motivating speeches. D. A person who always expects future results. 11. What life philosophy does the author show in the last paragraph? A. No pains, no gains. B. Live your life one day at a time. C. Being on sea, sail; being on land, settle. D. Those who believe in their ability can do anything. 【答案】8. C 9. B 10. C 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍的是日常生活中细微之美对人们生活意义感的影响，探讨如何通过体验欣赏（EA）增强生活的充实感。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Think about the first butterfly you stop to admire after a long winter or imagine the scenery at the top of a hill after a fresh hike. Sometimes existence delivers us small moments of beauty. When people are open to appreciating such experiences, these moments may enhance how they view their life.

Sometimes existence delivers us small moments of beauty. When people are open to appreciating such experiences, these moments may enhance how they view their life. This element is defined as EA(experiential appreciation)by Joshua Hicks, a psychological professor at Texas A & M University. (想想你在漫长的冬天后停下来欣赏的第一只蝴蝶，或者想象一下新徒步旅行后山顶的风景。有时，存在会给我们带来美丽的瞬间。当人们乐于欣赏这些经历时，这些时刻可能会增强他们对生活的看法。德克萨斯A&M大学心理学教授Joshua Hicks将这一元素定义为EA（体验欣赏）。)”可知，文章第二段提到蝴蝶和山上风景的例子是为了引入一个概念——体验性欣赏。故选C项。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段“At an initial test, researchers had participants rate their agreement of different coping strategies to relieve their stress. (在最初的测试中，研究人员让参与者对缓解压力的不同应对策略的一致性进行评分。)”和第四段中“Researchers then conducted a series of experiments, in which they gave participants specific tasks and, once more, asked them to report how strongly they identified with statements linked to purpose, etc. (研究人员随后进行了一系列实验，在这些实验中，他们给参与者分配了具体的任务，并再次要求他们报告他们对与目的相关的陈述的认同程度等。)”以及第四段中“After reflecting on the results collected from the participants, researchers confirmed their original theory. (研究人员随后进行了一系列实验，在这些实验中，他们给参与者分配了具体的任务，并再次要求他们报告他们对与目的相关的陈述的认同程度等。)”可知，研究者通过分析参与者的不同反应来进行研究。故选B项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第四段“In one case, participants who watched an awe-inspiring video reported having a greater sense of EA and meaning in life, compared with those watched more neutral videos. (在一个案例中，与观看更中性视频的参与者相比，观看令人敬畏的视频的参与者报告说，他们对EA和生活意义有更大的感觉。)”可知，经常听鼓舞人心的演讲的人更能找到生活的意义。故选C项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“This focus on future outcomes makes it all too easy to miss what is happening right now. Yet life happens in the present moment. We should slow down, let life surprise us and embrace the significance in the everyday life. (这种对未来结果的关注很容易让人错过现在正在发生的事情。然而，生活发生在当下。我们应该放慢脚步，让生活给我们惊喜，拥抱日常生活中的意义。)”可知，作者在最后一段告诉我们，应该生活在当下。故选B项。 D My late mother was an artist of some renown in the Pacific Northwest. Over her many-decades career, her paintings evolved from highly representational watercolors into mixed-media abstracts. Growing up, I could draw a little myself and enjoyed doing so, but I never had her talent. Once, I asked her how I could improve. I supposed I expected her to say something like “Practice 10,000 hours.” Instead, she told me to look at what I wanted to draw. I stared at a tree, noticing details I’d ignored before: the rough bark, shifting shadows, and delicate leaves. Drawing each detail carefully, I created my best work yet. More importantly, I discovered the joy of truly observing the world. This act of deep attention is called savoring — a skill that enriches both art and life. Psychologists define it as “fully appreciating positive moments,” like enjoying a sunset or reliving happy memories. Studies show savoring activates the brain’s reward system, reduces sadness, and boosts happiness. In experiments, people who focused on daily positive experiences became happier, especially those with fewer good moments. Savoring also creates vivid, lasting memories of joy. Yet humans naturally focus on negatives — a survival instinct from ancestors who needed to avoid dangers. Today, this “negativity bias (偏见)” often backfires, making us trapped in problems and overlook good moments. Scientists warn that constant negativity twists thinking and lowers life satisfaction. The solution? Practice savoring. Start with positive moments: pause to enjoy a meal or a friend’s laugh. But challenges can also be savored. Try a “failure journal”: write down a setback (e.g., an argument), leave space, then return weeks later to note lessons learned (“I improved communication”). Months later, add positive outcomes (“We grew closer”). This involves savoring — and shows how you can use the practice to transform even unwelcome experiences into positive opportunities for growth and perspective. This reframing helps find meaning in difficulties, much like finding beauty in an imperfect drawing. My mother’s advice wasn’t just about art — it was about living. By observing deeply, we uncover hidden layers in both the ordinary and the difficult. Savoring turns fleeting moments into lasting joy and challenges into growth. That’s the true art of life. 12. What does the author focus on by the personal story? A. Observing the world is essential for a painting. B. Every detail deserves attention when drawing. C. Deep attention is a source of living a happy life. D. Savoring is a skill of truly observing the world. 13. What does the author imply about “negativity bias” in modern life? A. It is necessary for survival today. B. It reduces our ability to enjoy life. C. It helps us avoid dangers effectively. D. It improves people’s life satisfaction. 14. According to the text, what is a “failure journal” used for? A. Reflecting on setbacks to find positive results. B. Tracking mistakes to avoid errors in the future. C. Recording positive moments and the emotions. D. Keeping track of the interpersonal relationships. 15. Why does the author compare “savoring” to “finding beauty in an imperfect drawing”? A. To explain that art involves accepting flaws. B. To criticize people who focus on negativity. C. To show challenges can be changed into growth. D. To argue that art is more important than science. 【答案】12. C 13. B 14. A 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议的文章，通过作者母亲的艺术建议引出“品味”（savoring）的概念，探讨深度观察对提升生活幸福感的作用，并分析人类负面偏见的危害及应对方法。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“This act of deep attention is called savoring — a skill that enriches both art and life.(这种深度关注的行为被称为品味——一种丰富艺术和生活的技能）及最后一段“ Savoring turns fleeting moments into lasting joy and challenges into growth.(品味会让转瞬即逝的瞬间变成持久的快乐，让挑战变成成长)”可知，作者通过个人故事强调深度关注是幸福生活的源泉。故选C项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Today, this “negativity bias (偏见)” often backfires, making us trapped in problems and overlook good moments. Scientists warn that constant negativity twists thinking and lowers life satisfaction.(今天，这种“消极偏见”经常适得其反，使我们陷入困境，忽视了美好的时刻。科学家警告说，持续的消极会扭曲思维，降低生活满意度)”可知，现代生活中消极偏见削弱了享受生活的能力。故选B项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Try a “failure journal”: write down a setback (e.g., an argument), leave space, then return weeks later to note lessons learned (“I improved communication”). Months later, add positive outcomes (试着写一份“失败日记”：写下一次挫折（例如，一次争吵），留出空间，然后几周后再回来记下吸取的教训（“我改进了沟通”）。几个月后，加上积极的结果（“我们变得更亲密了”））可知，“失败日记”用于反思挫折并寻找积极结果。故选A项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“This involves savoring — and shows how you can use the practice to transform even unwelcome experiences into positive opportunities for growth and perspective. This reframing helps find meaning in difficulties, much like finding beauty in an imperfect drawing.(这涉及到品味——并向你展示了如何利用这种做法将不受欢迎的经历转化为积极的成长机会和观点。这种重构有助于在困难中找到意义，就像在不完美的图画中发现美一样。）可知，把“品味”比作“在不完美的绘画中寻找美”，旨在说明挑战可转化为成长。故选C项。 第二节 (共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Have you ever wondered who it was that invented mathematics? Actually, unlike a light bulb or a computer, mathematics isn’t something that was invented by someone. ____16____ And its discovery can’t even be attributed to one person. Instead, mathematics developed gradually over thousands of years through the contributions of many people! ____17____ No one can know for sure, but we can use our imaginations to think about how mathematics might have gotten its start. For example, if we go all the way back to prehistoric humans gathering peaches to eat, we can imagine how this basic task probably gave rise to a need for math. If you and your prehistoric friend gathered a basket full of peaches, you’d probably agree to split them evenly. First, you’d need to know how many peaches you gathered. ____18____ You might first need to come up with names for the basic units of measurement. This might be how counting and the earliest numbers came about. Similarly, division might have originated from the need to split that pile of peaches. ____19____ And scientists believe that many basic mathematical functions, such as addition and multiplication appeared thousands of years ago in various areas at the same time, including China, India, Mesopotamia, and Egypt. More advanced mathematics is traced to ancient Greece over 2,500 years ago. ____20____ Since then, mathematical findings have inspired later mathematicians and scientists to build on predecessors’ work, continuously broadening our comprehension of mathematics and its connection to the world. A. How did it get started? B. It’s really more of a discovery. C. That means you’d need to count them. D. Prehistoric humans may have known more math than we assume. E. They would have been the first to discover the basics of mathematics. F. It was around this time that mathematics first became an organized science. G. In fact many mathematical principles were developed in response to practical needs. 【答案】16. B 17. A 18. C 19. G 20.

His palms had left damp marks on his Of Mice and Men script. Across the rehearsal (排练) room, Liam was doing his usual annoying trick — balancing a pencil on his nose during rehearsals — for the third time this week. Last year, they were great partners when they acted in The Outsiders together. Their rooftop “Stay gold” scene even got featured in the school newsletter. But now, everything changed. The trouble started during rehearsals. Jason insisted on following the book’s exact gestures. But Liam kept adding new moves — hugging an invisible puppy during serious lines, pretending to trip over “rabbits”. “Lennie wouldn’t do that!” Jason whispered angrily after a rehearsal “At least my Lennie wouldn’t sound like a human tape recorder,” Liam snapped back. Their fight grew bigger every day. Liam put vinegar in Jason’s water bottle. Jason “accidentally” locked Liam’s favorite script in the storage room. Their teacher even put up a sign saying “NO MOREFOOD FIGHTS” after they threw ketchup packets at each other. The exploding moment came during their final practice. During the barn scene, Liam suddenly howled like a wolf. The younger students laughed loudly. Jason was so mad that he ran off the stage — and crashed right into the wooden chairs, breaking three of them. That night, Jason couldn’t sleep. He kept thinking about how Liam used to gently push his shoulder before scary scenes to encourage him. At 1 AM, he got on his bike and rode back to school. The storage room light was on. Inside, Liam was sitting on the floor, trying to fix the broken chairs. Next to him was a chocolate bar — the kind Jason always ate. Jason froze, his eyes wide with a mix of astonishment and guilt when he realized it was the chairs he had kicked and broken. “Liam... I... I didn’t think I’d see you here fixing these,” Jason stammered, his voice barely above a whisper. Liam kept his head low, “Yeah, well, someone had to. The show is next week.” 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。 Jason, at a loss for words but eager to help, grabbed a hammer and nails. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ On performance day, Jason and Liam stood side by side, ready to take the stage. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文 Jason, at a loss for words but eager to help, grabbed a hammer and nails. Clang! The first strike missed completely. “Let me,” Liam muttered, steadying Jason’s hand. With Liam guiding him, Jason lifted the hammer again. Bang! The nail sank deep into the chair leg. As they worked side by side, Liam nudged Jason, “Your book-accurate Lennie is solid. But my twists... they add spark.” Jason nodded, hammering a nail with more ease. “Why not mix them up? We’ll nail the show.” Their eyes met, and they shared a grin, the hammering growing faster and more in sync. When Liam pulled out a smashed chocolate bar, Jason took half without a word. “Still partners?” Liam asked, shaking crumbs from his hair. “Only if you stop eating my snacks,” Jason replied, flicking a chocolate chip at him. On performance day, Jason and Liam stood side by side, ready to take the stage. Jason delivered his lines with the precise gestures of a true book purist, while Liam added his signature quirks at just the right moments, making the audience burst into laughter. In the final scene, their emotional acting brought the characters vividly to life, leaving the audience wide-eyed. As the curtain fell, thunderous applause filled the hall. Their teacher rushed onto the stage, showering them with praise. Liam happily clipped the prop hammer to Jason’s tool belt. Jason nodded, his eyes shining with anticipation for future shows. Under the twinkling stars, they walked home together, the hammer a precious reminder of their accomplishment and friendship. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了杰森在排练时和利亚姆意见不合，发生了争执。他们的争斗一天比一天激烈。结果某天杰森发现利亚姆在修理自己弄坏了的椅子，于是惊讶和内疚交织在一起。最终两人误会解除和好，并且顺利完成了演出。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“杰森不知该说什么好，但又急切地想帮忙，抓起一把锤子和钉子”可知，第一段可描写杰森和利亚姆两人修理椅子的经过。 ②由第二段首句内容“演出那天，杰森和利亚姆肩并肩站在一起，准备上台”可知，第二段可描写杰森和利亚姆一起完成了演出，建立了友谊。 2.续写线索：杰森想帮忙——并肩工作——误会解除——完成演出——建立友谊 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①指导：guide/instruct ②落下：fall/drop down ③回答：reply/respond 情绪类 ①轻松地：with ease/easily ②期待：anticipation/expectation 【点睛】[高分句型1] When Liam pulled out a smashed chocolate bar, Jason took half without a word.（由when引导时间状语从句） [高分句型2] As the curtain fell, thunderous applause filled the hall.（由as引导时间状语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
