Research shows that spending time in a natural setting has many benefits — it can help reduce anxiety and stress, improve concentration and attention, and even lead to better sleep. Here are some ways to get started. Go for a walk, bike, or hike The easiest way to get closer to nature is to simply step outside. Gather family or friends and go for a walk or bike ride in your neighborhood or a local park. Besides getting exercise, you’ll be stimulating (刺激) your senses, from seeing a variety of colors in autumn leaves to feeling a gentle wind blow through the trees. Try bird-watching November is a great time of year for bird-watching. It’s when many bird species take flight on their migratory (迁徙的) journeys to warm destinations to the south. You can visit a bird reserve in your area or learn more about the birds in your neighborhood. The highly-recommended Merlin Bird ID app is a free bird guide with photos, bird sounds, and maps that can help you identify the bird species you hear or see. Plant a fall garden Fall is a good time to plant because it’s less hot for plants but the soil is still warm. In parts of the US where the weather is milder, you may be able to plant leafy crops like spinach, broccoli, and kale through December. You can also bring nature inside by having plants in your home. 21. Why is it good to get closer to nature? A. People can plant leafy crops. B. People can build new friendship. C. People can improve their fitness. D. People can learn much about climate. 22. Which way is recommended for bird-watching? A. Referring to maps. B. Turning to a bird guide. C. Using an app for birds. D. Taking photos of birds. 23. Where is this text probably taken from? A. A course plan. B. A health magazine. C. A travel brochure. D. A museum guidebook. 【答案】21. C 22. C 23. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章介绍了三种在秋天亲近大自然的方式。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章Get Closer to Nature部分的“Research shows that spending time in a natural setting has many benefits — it can help reduce anxiety and stress, improve concentration and attention, and even lead to better sleep. (研究表明，在自然环境中度过时间有很多好处——它可以帮助减少焦虑和压力，提高注意力和专注力，甚至有助于改善睡眠。)”可知，接近大自然可以提高人们的健康水平，包括改善注意力和专注力，即可以提高身体素质。故选C。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章 Try bird-watching部分的“The highly-recommended Merlin Bird ID app is a free bird guide with photos, bird sounds, and maps that can help you identify the bird species you hear or see. (强烈推荐的Merlin Bird ID应用程序是一个免费的鸟类指南，包含照片、鸟的声音和地图，可以帮助您识别您听到或看到的鸟类。)”可知，推荐使用鸟类相关的应用程序来观鸟。故选C。 【23题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“Autumn is a special time to enjoy the outdoors, when the weather is cool and refreshing for experiencing the sights and sounds of nature. Research shows that spending time in a natural setting has many benefits — it can help reduce anxiety and stress, improve concentration and attention, and even lead to better sleep. (秋天是享受户外活动的特殊时刻，此时天气凉爽宜人，适合体验大自然的景色和声音。研究表明，在自然环境中度过时间有很多好处——它可以帮助减少焦虑和压力，提高注意力和专注力，甚至有助于改善睡眠。)”以及接下来提到的几种接近大自然的方式，可知本文主要讲述的是秋季在自然环境中度过时间的好处和一些相关建议，这些内容更符合健康杂志的风格。因此，选项B“A health magazine.(一本健康杂志)”是本文可能的来源。故选B。 B The Chinese New Year parade isn't the only place to watch a lion dance in. the San Francisco Bay Area. At weddings, grand openings of new businesses and other celebrations, the traditional Chinese art is performed year-round, thanks to the contributions of lion dance groups and young people increasingly embracing the activity. Connie Lu, a senior at Lincoln High School in San Francisco, has been practicing lion dance for three years in a youth lion dance club. She performed as the lion's head at a high school competition during the weekend in San Francisco's Chinatown to celebrate Asian Pacific American Heritage Month. “I officially started performing in my freshman year, but I had been a ’tail’ in a Chinese school for some years. I was only following the head’s steps,” Lu said. “I think being a head is more fun because you can play out the lion.” Lu’s team — eleven girls and two boys — participated in the competition, along with four other teams of about 100 players. The event also attracted hundreds of tourists. Blinking big eyes and shaking the body, the yellow lion played by Lu and her teammates jumped up on a narrow bench to the beat of drums and gongs and picked up a hanging flower bouquet. The dancers’ skillful movements won a big round of applause from the audience. Each performance has a unique meaning. Lu’s performance tells the story of a lion who tries to cross a river to get a flower for his friend, but he is afraid of the river at first. Finally, he conquers the challenge and gets the flower to his friend. “The meaning is that everyone has struggles in life and it can be scary. But when we work together and work hard, we can achieve it,” said Sophia Lee, a teammate of Lu’s. “The practice of lion dancing serves as a way to celebrate our cultural heritage with audience abroad, giving them a deeper understanding and appreciation for the rich Chinese traditions.” 24. What might be Lu’s favourite role in a lion dance? A. The head. B. The tail. C. The body. D. The leg. 25. How many teams joined in the competition in total? A. Two. B. Three. C. Four. D. Five. 26. What can we learn about Lu in the competition? A. She was unfamiliar with a lion dance. B. Her role is still scary for her. C. She gave up in the face of difficulty. D. Her performance tells a story of a brave lion. 27. What does Sophia Lee agree with about the lion dance? A. It focuses on individual spirit. B. It's a chance to share Chinese culture. C. It's hardly accepted abroad. D. It doesn't require a high level of skills. 【答案】24. A 25. D 26. D 27. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了在旧金山湾区，舞狮不仅仅是中国新年游行的活动，还出现在婚礼、新店开业等庆祝活动中。文章重点介绍了高中生Connie Lu在舞狮比赛中的表现及其对舞狮文化的理解。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“I think being a head is more fun because you can play out the lion.(我认为当狮头更有趣，因为你可以把狮子的形象表现出来)”可知，Lu最喜欢的角色是舞狮的头。故选A。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“Lu’s team — eleven girls and two boys — participated in the competition, along with four other teams of about 100 players.(Lu的队伍——11个女孩和2个男孩——和其他四支约100名队员的队伍一起参加了比赛)”可知，一共有五支队伍参加了比赛。故选D。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“Each performance has a unique meaning. Lu’s performance tells the story of a lion who tries to cross a river to get a flower for his friend, but he is afraid of the river at first. Finally, he conquers the challenge and gets the flower to his friend.(每个表演都有独特的意义。Lu的表演讲述了一个狮子试图过河给朋友摘花的故事，但他一开始害怕河。最后，他克服了挑战，把花送给了他的朋友)”可知，我们从比赛中了解到Lu的表演讲述了一只勇敢的狮子的故事。故选D。 【27题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“The practice of lion dancing serves as a way to celebrate our cultural heritage with audience abroad, giving them a deeper understanding and appreciation for the rich Chinese traditions.(舞狮的实践是一种向国外观众展示我们文化遗产的方式，让他们对中国丰富的传统有更深入的了解和欣赏)”可知，Sophia Lee认为舞狮是分享中国文化的一个机会。故选B。 C Louise, who is a believer in “tough love”, made her 14-year-old son sleep outside in “freezing temperatures” without a sleeping bag to teach him a lesson, as she thinks it’s important that her kids know how to deal when things go wrong. The single mum with a strict parenting technique has admitted some parents might disagree with her method, but that it’s her job to “equip them with the tools to deal when things go wrong”. So she’s “proud” that her children have the resilience to deal with life’s challenges. The mum explained of one particular time when her son Michael, who was 14 at the time, forgot his sleeping bag at home after he was taken to scout camp — so she made him sleep outside in the freezing cold. Louise said, “Did I jump in the car and do the hour-long round trip to fetch it for him? No, I did not. I simply blew him a kiss and drove away. I was fully aware that he would spend the night shaking, with nothing but the tarpaulin (防水油布) of the tent protecting him from the bad weather. But I felt no guilt at all.” According to the mum, her son was old enough to take responsibility for this himself, and she believed he would benefit from the experience. Michael added that his mum is the only parent he knows that would let their kid sleep without a sleeping bag in “freezing temperatures”, but that he hasn’t forgotten an important piece of equipment since. Another time, her younger son Christian had been off school ill, and by the weekend he was still feeling sore and achy, but she still made him “push through” and play in a match. When it comes to school, Louise didn’t want her children to receive any special treatment, so she asked the school not to give them praise for anything they hadn’t excelled in. Louise says parents are too soft nowadays and thinks her parenting technique has made her children “share mutual respect and great communication as well as a lot of fun”. 28. Which can best replace the underlined word “resilience” in paragraph 2? A. Power. B. Chance. C. Habit. D. Patience. 29. What is Michael’s attitude towards his mother’s “tough love”? A. Doubtful. B. Concerned. C. Disapproving. D. Positive. 30. How should parents educate their children in Louise’s view? A. By recognizing what they have achieved. B. By allowing them to do what they like best. C. By making them solve their challenges alone. D. By asking teachers to praise them often in school. 31. In which column of a newspaper can we read this text? A. Real life. B. World news. C. Future life. D. Children’s stories. 【答案】28. A 29. D 30. C 31. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了单亲妈妈路易丝通过教育孩子处理事情，来让孩子独自解决问题。 【28题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第一段“Louise, who is a believer in “tough love”, made her 14-year-old son sleep outside in “freezing temperatures” without a sleeping bag to teach him a lesson, as she thinks it’s important that her kids know how to deal when things go wrong.(路易丝相信“严厉的爱”，为了给她14岁的儿子上一课，她让他在“冰冷的温度”下睡在外面，没有睡袋，因为她认为让她的孩子知道如何处理事情很重要)”以及后文“to deal with life’s challenges(应对生活中的挑战)”可知，路易丝教育孩子如何处理事情，所以孩子有应对生活中的挑战的力量。故划线词意思是“力量”。故选A。 【29题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Michael added that his mum is the only parent he knows that would let their kid sleep without a sleeping bag in “freezing temperatures”, but that he hasn’t forgotten an important piece of equipment since.(迈克尔补充说，他的妈妈是他认识的唯一一个让孩子在“冰天雪地”不带睡袋睡觉的父母，但从那以后他就没有忘记一件重要的装备)”可知，迈克尔对母亲的“严厉的爱”是积极态度。故选D。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“The single mum with a strict parenting technique has admitted some parents might disagree with her method, but that it’s her job to “equip them with the tools to deal when things go wrong”.(这位单亲妈妈有着严格的育儿技巧，她承认有些家长可能不同意她的方法，但她的工作是“让他们掌握处理问题的工具”)”以及最后一段“Louise says parents are too soft nowadays and thinks her parenting technique has made her children “share mutual respect and great communication as well as a lot of fun”.(路易丝说，现在的父母太软弱了，她认为她的育儿方法让她的孩子们“相互尊重，很好地沟通，也很有趣”)”可知，在路易丝看来，父母应该让孩子独自解决挑战。故选C。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“The single mum with a strict parenting technique has admitted some parents might disagree with her method, but that it’s her job to “equip them with the tools to deal when things go wrong”.(这位单亲妈妈有着严格的育儿技巧，她承认有些家长可能不同意她的方法，但她的工作是“让他们掌握处理问题的工具”)”以及文章主要说明了单亲妈妈路易丝通过教育孩子处理事情，来让孩子独自解决问题。可知，我们可以在报纸的“现实生活”栏目读这篇文章。故选A。 D Speed reading has its benefits—it saves time where there is a lack of available hours or days, and the volume of pages is shocking. The problem generated by speed reading, though, can be summarized with the following quote from the witty (诙谐的) director Woody Allen: “This is how I read War and Peace. It was about Russia.” A remarkable summary for a 1200-page book. I prefer discussing the “way of reading” and not only the speed. Does a slow pace guarantee quality of reading? You can do a very short exercise—which books have you read, let’s say, two years ago? What were they about? Can you recall five ideas from each of them? In most cases, the answer is “No”. So, what difference does it make if we read fast or slow? In today’s busy times, I suggest “Mindful Reading”, which includes two simple principles. The first is, of course, being mindful. The speed of reading is precisely matched to the speed of awareness. I read to realise. I realise to comprehend. I comprehend to make use of. It obliges (迫使) me to slow down when I don’t grasp the idea behind the words and to go back over and over to one and the same sentence. And thus, poetry requires a slow pace, time for an internal “echo” of rhyme in the soul for appreciating the beauty of the words while the novel allows for a higher speed in order for us to enjoy the plot. But all types of speed have one thing in common: mindfulness. And the other principle: Post Lectio—Ratiocination. If we read for 60 minutes, and after closing the book, immediately go and do something else, we are missing a key element—thinking over the content while we still remember it, something like a mental digestion. Whoever is not used to this can try at least59/1 compared to 60/0: one minute to think and assimilate. Better, try five, or even better, ten minutes, or why not 30/30 minutes? With this mental exercise, we will not only remember ideas from books read, but we will gain a much bigger benefit from their content. I hope you did not read this article too fast. 32. Why is Woody Allen quoted in paragraph 1? A. To show the efficiency of reading fast. B. To illustrate the problem of speed reading. C. To prove the director’s ability to summarize. D. To stress the importance of reading classics. 33. What may the writer agree with about the speed of reading? A. Fast reading ensures reading quality. B. Fast reading is superior to slow reading. C. Slow reading is no guarantee of reading quality. D. Slow reading prevents us remembering the content. 34. What does the first principle of “Mindful Reading” involve? A Deep engagement. B. Quick comprehension. C. Excellent memory. D. Wild imagination. 35. What does the author suggest readers do according to paragraph 4? A. Take breaks to refresh their mind. B. Read mindfully without interruptions. C Devote time to reflecting after reading. D. Digest information while reading. 【答案】32. B 33. C 34. A 35. C 【解析】 【导语】本文为一篇说明文，主要讲述了阅读速度问题，并建议我们要在阅读后思考。 【32题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段的“The problem generated by speed reading, though, can be summarized with the following quote from the witty (诙谐的) director Woody Allen: “This is how I read War and Peace. It was about Russia.” A remarkable summary for a 1200-page book. (然而，快速阅读带来的问题可以用机智的导演伍迪·艾伦的话来概括:“这是我阅读《战争与和平》的方式。这是关于俄罗斯的。”对于一本1200页的书来说，这是一个非凡的总结。)”可知，快速阅读产生的问题，可以引用诙谐的导演伍迪·艾伦的话来概括，对于一本1200页的书来说，这是一个了不起的总结。可推断引用伍迪艾伦的话是为了说明快速阅读的问题。故选B。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Does a slow pace guarantee quality of reading? You can do a very short exercise—which books have you read, let’s say, two years ago? What were they about? Can you recall five ideas from each of them? In most cases, the answer is “No”. So, what difference does it make if we read fast or slow?”(慢节奏能保证阅读的质量吗?你可以做一个很短的练习--你读过什么书，比如两年前?它们是关于什么的?你能从它们每一本上回忆起五个想法吗?在大多数情况下，答案是“不能”。那么，我们读得快或慢有什么区别呢?)”可知，慢速阅读不能保证阅读质量。故选C。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段的“The speed of reading is precisely matched to the speed of awareness. I read to realise. I realise to comprehend. I comprehend to make use of. It obliges (迫使) me to slow down when I don’t grasp the idea behind the words and to go back over and over to one and the same sentence. (阅读的速度与意识的速度精确匹配。我读书是为了意识到。我意识到要理解。我理解了才能利用。当我无法理解文字背后的意思时，我不得不放慢脚步，一遍又一遍地回到同一个句子。) ”，可知，“正念阅读”的第一个原则是深入参与。故选A。 【35题详解】 推断判断题。根据第四段的“If we read for 60 minutes, and after closing the book, immediately go and do something else, we are missing a key element—thinking over the content while we still remember it, something like a mental digestion. Whoever is not used to this can try at least59/1 compared to 60/0: one minute to think and assimilate. Better, try five, or even better, ten minutes, or why not 30/30 minutes? With this mental exercise, we will not only remember ideas from books read, but we will gain a much bigger benefit from their content. (如果我们读了60分钟，然后合上书，马上去做别的事情，我们就错过了一个关键因素——在我们还记得的时候思考内容，就像精神消化一样。不习惯这一点的人可以尝试至少59/1，而不是60/0:1分钟思考和吸收。最好是五分钟，或者更好，十分钟，或者为什么不30/30分钟？通过这种思维练习，我们不仅能记住读过的书中的观点，还能从书的内容中获得更大的好处。)”可推断，作者建议读者阅读后思考。故选C。 七选五（12.5分） I hated writing in the process of growing up. But I couldn’t avoid it. Learning English was a must in high school. For hours, I stared at blank pages, trying to turn my disorganized thoughts into fluent sentences. I tried my best but my teachers would return my papers littered with red. I was frustrated all the time. ____36____ And that was OK. I didn’t have to be good at everything. _____37_____ I liked the objective truths that could be found if I searched properly. In college, I joined a research lab to enhance conductor efficiency, and after a year of hard work, we developed a design effortlessly. However, the joy was short-lived as I had to write a research paper about our findings. I knew that if I wanted to become an academic, I would need to spend time penning papers. But with my awful track record with writing, I was scared of failing. In panic, I asked a graduate student in my lab for help. We defined a goal for the paper, and I carefully wrote an outline. But when I asked him for feedback, I soon found the paper covered in red marks. ____38____ Before I could give up in defeat, though, the graduate student explained those red marks didn’t mean I was a bad writer. _____39_____ It requires revising your work, often several times. I kept improving the outline of my paper, eventually turning it into sentences and paragraphs. My initial draft wasn’t perfect. I had buried a few key takeaways, and the introduction was missing important context. But with help, I finally made it. From then on, writing became one of my favorite parts of research. ____40____ But I came around. All it took was some trial and error. A. “Not again,” I screamed inside. B. I should view it in a positive way. C. Maybe I wasn’t born to write. D. Writing isn’t a one-and-done thing. E. I soon realized writing was my strength. F. I switched to the world of math and science. G. I had never imagined it in my wildest dreams. 【答案】36. C 37. F 38. A 39. D 40. G 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者从讨厌写作到逐渐喜欢上写作的心路历程。 【36题详解】 由上文“I tried my best but my teachers would return my papers littered with red. I was frustrated all the time. (我尽了最大的努力，但老师们总是把满是红笔批改痕迹的论文还给我。我一直很沮丧)”以及下文“And that was OK. I didn’t have to be good at everything. (那也没关系。我不必擅长所有事情)”可知，本空应表达作者对自己写作能力的看法。C选项“Maybe I wasn’t born to write. (也许我不是天生就适合写作)”体现了作者觉得自己可能不具备写作天赋，能承上启下，符合语境。故选C。 【37题详解】 由下文“I liked the objective truths that could be found if I searched properly. In college, I joined a research lab to enhance conductor efficiency, and after a year of hard work, we developed a design effortlessly. (我喜欢通过适当探寻便能发现的客观真理。大学期间，我加入了一个研究实验室，致力于提高导体效率；经过一年的艰苦努力，我们轻而易举地设计出了一套方案)”可知，作者喜欢客观真理，并且参与了和科学相关的研究，本空应强调作者转向了与科学相关的领域。F选项“I switched to the world of math and science.

According to Chinese legend, the peony is associated with a beautiful goddess named Xi Wangmu, ____61____ planted peonies in her garden to symbolize her immortality (永生). Thus, the peony is often associated with longevity and the ____62____ (pursue) of immortality. Also, the peony holds ____63____ special place in Chinese weddings.

In conclusion, the cultural significance of Chinese peonies cannot be underestimated. Over centuries, their rich history, deep symbolism, and aesthetic beauty _____65_____ (make) them one of the most treasured flowers in China. 【答案】56. referred 57. to represent 58. association(s) 59. was considered 60. officials 61. who 62. pursuit 63. a 64. as 65. have made 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，短文介绍了牡丹在中国文化中的重要地位和象征意义。文章从历史渊源、皇室关联、神话传说和婚礼习俗等多个角度，阐述了牡丹作为“花中之王”的文化内涵，展现了这种花卉在中国传统文化中的独特价值。 【56题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：牡丹常被称为花中之王，是中国文化中最具重要意义的花卉之一，其历史可追溯到 2000 多年前。​“the peony”和“refer to”之间是被动关系，即“牡丹被称为”，所以用过去分词形式作状语。​故填referred。 【57题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：人们认为它代表着财富、繁荣和荣誉。​“be believed to do sth.” 为固定搭配，表示 “被认为做某事”，所以这里用 to represent作主语补足语。​故填to represent。 【58题详解】 考查名词。句意：牡丹在文化上具有重要意义原因之一是它在历史上与皇室有关联。形容词性物主代词its后应用名词，名词 “association” 表示 “关联”作表语，作此意时既可以是可数名词，又可以是不可数名词；看作可数名词时，此处应用复数形式表泛指。​故填association (s)。 【59题详解】 考查时态和语态。句意：在唐朝，牡丹被认为是宫廷的官方花卉，只有皇室成员和高级官员可以种植和欣赏这些娇美的花朵。​“During the Tang Dynasty”表明句子时态为一般过去时，主语 “the peony”和“consider”之间是被动关系，即“牡丹被认为”，所以要用一般过去时的被动语态 “was/were + 过去分词”，主语是单数概念，故用 was considered。​故填was considered。 【60题详解】 考查名词复数​。句意：在唐朝，牡丹被认为是宫廷的官方花卉，只有皇室成员和高级官员可以种植和欣赏这些娇美的花朵。​空处应用名词作主语，根据语境，这里指多个高级官员,“official”是可数名词，所以要用复数形式 officials。​故填officials。 【61题详解】 考查定语从句。句意：根据中国传说，牡丹与一位名叫西王母的美丽女神有关，她在花园里种植牡丹以象征她的永生。空处引导非限制性定语从句，​ 先行词是“Xi Wangmu”，指人，且在从句中作主语，所以用关系代词who引导定语从句。​故填who。 【62题详解】 考查名词。句意：因此，牡丹常与长寿和对永生的追求联系在一起。空处作宾语，此处应填名词形式，pursue的名词形式为 pursuit。故填 pursuit。 【63题详解】 考查冠词。句意：此外，牡丹在中国婚礼中占有特殊的地位。​这里需要用不定冠词表示 “一个”，“special” 是以辅音音素开头，所以用“a”。​故填a。 【64题详解】 考查介词。句意：它作为爱情和幸福的象征备受赞赏，常被用于婚礼仪式和装饰中。​ be admired as...是固定短语，意思是 “作为……而受到赞美”，这里表示牡丹作为爱情和幸福的象征被赞美，所以用介词 “as”。​故填as。 【65题详解】 考查时态。句意：几个世纪以来，它们丰富的历史、深刻的象征意义和美学价值使它们成为中国最珍贵的花卉之一。​ “Over centuries” 表示“几个世纪以来”，是现在完成时的时间标志词，强调从过去持续到现在的动作或状态，主语 their rich history, deep symbolism, and aesthetic beauty是复数，所以用现在完成时“have + 过去分词”，即“have made”。​故填have made。 应用文（满分15分） 66. 假定你是李华，“五一”期间，你积极参加了社区组织的劳动。请你在校英文报上分享一下你的劳动经历，内容包括： 1. 劳动项目； 2. 劳动过程； 3. 劳动感触。 注意： 1. 写作词数应为80左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 An Experience During the May Day _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 An Experience During the May Day During the May Day, I actively participated in the labor organized by our community.

They decided to throw a horse-themed party because Madison liked horses so much. She had a horse named Star and she loved to talk about it at school. “I don’t want to invite Lucy Gilbert!” Madison said abruptly. “We already discussed this. You are inviting all the girls from your class.” “But I don’t like Lucy Gilbert!” “Madison, you are being unreasonable. How would you feel if every girl in your class was invited to a party but you?” Dad tried to talk some sense into her. “Come on, Madison. Lucy is a new girl in class. They just moved here a little over a month ago. Think about how that must feel. Your party will be a great chance for her to get to know everyone.” Madison felt annoyed at her father’s insistence on inviting Lucy. She thought about Lucy always sitting in the corner all by herself, not talking to anyone and braiding (编织) something. Saturday morning, Madison and her parents were blowing up balloons and getting everything ready for the party. A few hours later, most of the girls were at the party, but she didn’t see Lucy. How she wished that Lucy wasn’t coming! She was afraid she’s going to ruin everything. Just at that moment, Lucy arrived in a faded dress. Dad gave Madison a gentle push on the back and asked her to give Lucy a warm welcome. Madison did as told unwillingly and turned back to other girls in a few seconds. Lucy placed her present on the table. She looked around the room for a moment and then walked to a chair in the corner and sat down by herself. “See! I told you!” Madison said to her dad with a satisfied smile. Later, all the girls were gathered around the table as Madison opened her presents. Lucy’s present was the very last to be opened. 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。 Madison picked up the present and ripped open the giftwrap paper. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Moved by Lucy’s efforts at the present, Madison suddenly felt so bad. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: Madison picked up the present and ripped open the giftwrap paper. Inside lay a hand-braided blue-and-white lead rope. It really was beautiful. It was, by far, her very favorite birthday present of the day. “I made it myself for your horse because I heard you talk about it at school. Hope you will like it,” Lucy explained softly, her fingers nervously tracing the braids. Her voice trembled as she revealed she’d stayed up past midnight for three weeks, practicing different braiding techniques until every loop met her standards. It occurred to Madison that this quiet girl had poured more heart into her present than all others combined. Moved by Lucy’s efforts at the present, Madison suddenly felt so bad. She didn’t imagine the girl she hated would put so much thought in making her a wonderful present. She thanked Lucy sincerely and apologized for her earlier rudeness. “I’m sorry, Lucy. I like the present very much. It’s the prettiest one I’ve ever seen.” Lucy smiled. Madison put her arm around Lucy’s shoulders and introduced her to the other girls, who happily shared the birthday cake together. Later, Lucy taught the girls her braiding tricks, her chair no longer lonely. When Dad snapped a photo of them feeding Star apples, Madison realized kindness, like Lucy’s threads, could weave unexpected friendships. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了女孩Madison要在家里举办生日会，她的爸爸让她邀请班里所有的女孩，但Madison不想邀请新来的女孩Lucy，她认为Lucy不合群，只会坐在角落里编织东西。但后来，在得到Lucy的礼物后，Madison深受感动，转变了看法。最终大家一起度过了一个愉快的生日会。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段首句内容“Madison拿起礼物，撕开礼品包装纸。”可知，第一段描写Lucy送的礼物，Lucy对这个礼物的解释，以及Madison突然意识到Lucy很用心地为她准备了礼物。 ②由第二段首句内容“被Lucy当前的努力所感动，Madison突然感到很难过。”可知，第二段描写Madison对Lucy表示感谢和歉意，并向其他人介绍Lucy，大家度过了一个愉快的生日会。 2.续写线索：看到礼物——解释礼物——心境变化——深受感动——表达感谢和歉意——一起过生日 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①解释：explain/account for ②练习编织技巧：practice braiding techniques/practice braiding tricks ③想起：It occurs to sb that/remind sb of/think of/cross one's mind 情绪类 ①道歉：say sorry/apologize/make an apology ②感动：moved/touched ③感谢：thank sb sincerely/express one's gratitude/be grateful 【点睛】【高分句型1】Her voice trembled as she revealed she’d stayed up past midnight for three weeks, practicing different braiding techniques until every loop met her standards.（运用了as引导的时间状语从句，非谓语动词作状语以及until引导的时间状语从句） 【高分句型2】It occurred to Madison that this quiet girl had poured more heart into her present than all others combined.（运用了固定句型It occurs/occurred to sb that...） 【高分句型3】Madison put her arm around Lucy’s shoulders and introduced her to the other girls, who happily shared the birthday cake together. （运用了who引导的非限制性定语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2025年上学期高一创高杯考试英语试题 （考试时间：120分钟 ； 满分：150分） 听力（30分） 1. 【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 What is the weather like now?

Research shows that spending time in a natural setting has many benefits — it can help reduce anxiety and stress, improve concentration and attention, and even lead to better sleep. Here are some ways to get started. Go for a walk, bike, or hike The easiest way to get closer to nature is to simply step outside. Gather family or friends and go for a walk or bike ride in your neighborhood or a local park. Besides getting exercise, you’ll be stimulating (刺激) your senses, from seeing a variety of colors in autumn leaves to feeling a gentle wind blow through the trees. Try bird-watching November is a great time of year for bird-watching. It’s when many bird species take flight on their migratory (迁徙的) journeys to warm destinations to the south. You can visit a bird reserve in your area or learn more about the birds in your neighborhood. The highly-recommended Merlin Bird ID app is a free bird guide with photos, bird sounds, and maps that can help you identify the bird species you hear or see. Plant a fall garden Fall is a good time to plant because it’s less hot for plants but the soil is still warm. In parts of the US where the weather is milder, you may be able to plant leafy crops like spinach, broccoli, and kale through December. You can also bring nature inside by having plants in your home. 21. Why is it good to get closer to nature? A. People can plant leafy crops. B. People can build new friendship. C. People can improve their fitness. D. People can learn much about climate. 22. Which way is recommended for bird-watching? A Referring to maps. B. Turning to a bird guide. C. Using an app for birds.

B The Chinese New Year parade isn't the only place to watch a lion dance in. the San Francisco Bay Area. At weddings, grand openings of new businesses and other celebrations, the traditional Chinese art is performed year-round, thanks to the contributions of lion dance groups and young people increasingly embracing the activity. Connie Lu, a senior at Lincoln High School in San Francisco, has been practicing lion dance for three years in a youth lion dance club. She performed as the lion's head at a high school competition during the weekend in San Francisco's Chinatown to celebrate Asian Pacific American Heritage Month. “I officially started performing in my freshman year, but I had been a ’tail’ in a Chinese school for some years. I was only following the head’s steps,” Lu said. “I think being a head is more fun because you can play out the lion.” Lu’s team — eleven girls and two boys — participated in the competition, along with four other teams of about 100 players. The event also attracted hundreds of tourists. Blinking big eyes and shaking the body, the yellow lion played by Lu and her teammates jumped up on a narrow bench to the beat of drums and gongs and picked up a hanging flower bouquet. The dancers’ skillful movements won a big round of applause from the audience. Each performance has a unique meaning. Lu’s performance tells the story of a lion who tries to cross a river to get a flower for his friend, but he is afraid of the river at first. Finally, he conquers the challenge and gets the flower to his friend. “The meaning is that everyone has struggles in life and it can be scary.

What can we learn about Lu in the competition? A. She was unfamiliar with a lion dance. B. Her role is still scary for her. C. She gave up in the face of difficulty. D.

It's hardly accepted abroad. D. It doesn't require a high level of skills. C Louise, who is a believer in “tough love”, made her 14-year-old son sleep outside in “freezing temperatures” without a sleeping bag to teach him a lesson, as she thinks it’s important that her kids know how to deal when things go wrong. The single mum with a strict parenting technique has admitted some parents might disagree with her method, but that it’s her job to “equip them with the tools to deal when things go wrong”. So she’s “proud” that her children have the resilience to deal with life’s challenges. The mum explained of one particular time when her son Michael, who was 14 at the time, forgot his sleeping bag at home after he was taken to scout camp — so she made him sleep outside in the freezing cold. Louise said, “Did I jump in the car and do the hour-long round trip to fetch it for him? No, I did not. I simply blew him a kiss and drove away. I was fully aware that he would spend the night shaking, with nothing but the tarpaulin (防水油布) of the tent protecting him from the bad weather. But I felt no guilt at all.” According to the mum, her son was old enough to take responsibility for this himself, and she believed he would benefit from the experience. Michael added that his mum is the only parent he knows that would let their kid sleep without a sleeping bag in “freezing temperatures”, but that he hasn’t forgotten an important piece of equipment since. Another time, her younger son Christian had been off school ill, and by the weekend he was still feeling sore and achy, but she still made him “push through” and play in a match. When it comes to school, Louise didn’t want her children to receive any special treatment, so she asked the school not to give them praise for anything they hadn’t excelled in. Louise says parents are too soft nowadays and thinks her parenting technique has made her children “share mutual respect and great communication as well as a lot of fun”. 28. Which can best replace the underlined word “resilience” in paragraph 2? A. Power. B. Chance. C. Habit. D. Patience. 29. What is Michael’s attitude towards his mother’s “tough love”? A. Doubtful. B. Concerned. C. Disapproving. D. Positive. 30. How should parents educate their children in Louise’s view? A. By recognizing what they have achieved. B. By allowing them to do what they like best. C. By making them solve their challenges alone. D. By asking teachers to praise them often in school. 31. In which column of a newspaper can we read this text? A. Real life. B. World news. C. Future life. D. Children’s stories. D Speed reading has its benefits—it saves time where there is a lack of available hours or days, and the volume of pages is shocking. The problem generated by speed reading, though, can be summarized with the following quote from the witty (诙谐的) director Woody Allen: “This is how I read War and Peace. It was about Russia.” A remarkable summary for a 1200-page book. I prefer discussing the “way of reading” and not only the speed. Does a slow pace guarantee quality of reading? You can do a very short exercise—which books have you read, let’s say, two years ago? What were they about? Can you recall five ideas from each of them? In most cases, the answer is “No”. So, what difference does it make if we read fast or slow? In today’s busy times, I suggest “Mindful Reading”, which includes two simple principles. The first is, of course, being mindful. The speed of reading is precisely matched to the speed of awareness. I read to realise. I realise to comprehend. I comprehend to make use of. It obliges (迫使) me to slow down when I don’t grasp the idea behind the words and to go back over and over to one and the same sentence. And thus, poetry requires a slow pace, time for an internal “echo” of rhyme in the soul for appreciating the beauty of the words while the novel allows for a higher speed in order for us to enjoy the plot. But all types of speed have one thing in common: mindfulness. And the other principle: Post Lectio—Ratiocination. If we read for 60 minutes, and after closing the book, immediately go and do something else, we are missing a key element—thinking over the content while we still remember it, something like a mental digestion. Whoever is not used to this can try at least59/1 compared to 60/0: one minute to think and assimilate. Better, try five, or even better, ten minutes, or why not 30/30 minutes? With this mental exercise, we will not only remember ideas from books read, but we will gain a much bigger benefit from their content. I hope you did not read this article too fast. 32 Why is Woody Allen quoted in paragraph 1? A. To show the efficiency of reading fast. B. To illustrate the problem of speed reading. C. To prove the director’s ability to summarize. D. To stress the importance of reading classics. 33. What may the writer agree with about the speed of reading? A. Fast reading ensures reading quality. B. Fast reading is superior to slow reading. C. Slow reading is no guarantee of reading quality. D. Slow reading prevents us remembering the content. 34. What does the first principle of “Mindful Reading” involve? A. Deep engagement. B. Quick comprehension. C. Excellent memory. D. Wild imagination. 35. What does the author suggest readers do according to paragraph 4? A Take breaks to refresh their mind. B. Read mindfully without interruptions. C. Devote time to reflecting after reading. D. Digest information while reading. 七选五（12.5分） I hated writing in the process of growing up. But I couldn’t avoid it. Learning English was a must in high school. For hours, I stared at blank pages, trying to turn my disorganized thoughts into fluent sentences. I tried my best but my teachers would return my papers littered with red. I was frustrated all the time. ____36____ And that was OK. I didn’t have to be good at everything. _____37_____ I liked the objective truths that could be found if I searched properly. In college, I joined a research lab to enhance conductor efficiency, and after a year of hard work, we developed a design effortlessly. However, the joy was short-lived as I had to write a research paper about our findings. I knew that if I wanted to become an academic, I would need to spend time penning papers. But with my awful track record with writing, I was scared of failing. In panic, I asked a graduate student in my lab for help. We defined a goal for the paper, and I carefully wrote an outline. But when I asked him for feedback, I soon found the paper covered in red marks. ____38____ Before I could give up in defeat, though, the graduate student explained those red marks didn’t mean I was a bad writer. _____39_____ It requires revising your work, often several times. I kept improving the outline of my paper, eventually turning it into sentences and paragraphs. My initial draft wasn’t perfect. I had buried a few key takeaways, and the introduction was missing important context. But with help, I finally made it. From then on, writing became one of my favorite parts of research. ____40____ But I came around. All it took was some trial and error. A. “Not again,” I screamed inside. B I should view it in a positive way. C. Maybe I wasn’t born to write. D. Writing isn’t a one-and-done thing. E. I soon realized writing was my strength. F. I switched to the world of math and science. G. I had never imagined it in my wildest dreams. 完形填空（15分） Karina Quilantan-Garza has been a teacher in Texas for 13 years.

They decided to throw a horse-themed party because Madison liked horses so much. She had a horse named Star and she loved to talk about it at school. “I don’t want to invite Lucy Gilbert!” Madison said abruptly. “We already discussed this. You are inviting all the girls from your class.” “But I don’t like Lucy Gilbert!” “Madison, you are being unreasonable. How would you feel if every girl in your class was invited to a party but you?” Dad tried to talk some sense into her. “Come on, Madison. Lucy is a new girl in class. They just moved here a little over a month ago. Think about how that must feel. Your party will be a great chance for her to get to know everyone.” Madison felt annoyed at her father’s insistence on inviting Lucy. She thought about Lucy always sitting in the corner all by herself, not talking to anyone and braiding (编织) something. Saturday morning, Madison and her parents were blowing up balloons and getting everything ready for the party. A few hours later, most of the girls were at the party, but she didn’t see Lucy. How she wished that Lucy wasn’t coming! She was afraid she’s going to ruin everything. Just at that moment, Lucy arrived in a faded dress. Dad gave Madison a gentle push on the back and asked her to give Lucy a warm welcome. Madison did as told unwillingly and turned back to other girls in a few seconds. Lucy placed her present on the table. She looked around the room for a moment and then walked to a chair in the corner and sat down by herself. “See! I told you!” Madison said to her dad with a satisfied smile. Later, all the girls were gathered around the table as Madison opened her presents. Lucy’s present was the very last to be opened. 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。 Madison picked up the present and ripped open the giftwrap paper. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Moved by Lucy’s efforts at the present, Madison suddenly felt so bad. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$听力考试正式开始。Do I need to bring my jacket?
