B I’ve written at length about how playful writing exercises gave me my career (as an internationally bestselling and award-winning novelist published in over thirty languages). Given how necessary this practice has been to my successes — I know it’s worth it to make time to play. There are a lot of reasons why, but the most important one is also the hardest to explain, because it has to do with the mystery of creativity itself. Where do ideas come from or, having come, how do they grow? What is imagination, and how do we level up, get to the good stuff deep within ourselves? How do we get to that place beyond worry and plot and analysis, where story lives and breathes and characters come to life and language blooms and sparks? Me, I don’t get there easily. I’ve always struggled with perfectionism. For years, “writing” for me meant polishing sentences to a high gloss while daydreaming about the books I would one day write. There was a huge disconnect between my fantasy future career and my actual habits and practice. But eventually the absurdity of that disconnect became so glaring that I had to either get past it or give up the dream, and that’s when I started developing strategies to actually write not just high-gloss sentences, but stories, even novels. I got there by going around my perfectionism, and the best way I know to do that is: yeah, playful writing exercises. They allow me to fall into a much deeper well of creativity, even sometimes into that mysterious place where it feels like it’s not coming “from” me but “through” me. It honestly feels like magic. To make a long explanation short: A practice of playful, non-goal-oriented writing exercise can loosen you up and even train your brain to access a flow state, with huge benefits that are necessary both for your spirit and your work. 24. Why does the author ask the questions in Paragraph 2? A. To turn to readers for answers. B. To criticize traditional writing. C. To stress the complexity of creativity. D. To show off his talents and achievements. 25. What problem did the author face in the early writing practice? A. Focusing too much on perfecting sentences. B. Lack of creative ideas and writing skills. C. Feeling confused about the future career. D. Pressure from international publishers. 26. How does the author describe the feeling of accessing deep creativity? A. A magical outcome. B. A well-designed plan. C. A tough experience. D. An easy practice process. 27. What is the best title for the text? A. Writing for best-sellers B. Creating Successful Novels C. Perfectionism in Writing D. Unlocking Creativity through Play C When Eugenie George heard that her friend passed a financial counseling exam, at first her heart sank. She had failed the same test weeks earlier, and she needed the qualification to advance her career. “My inner child got upset,” recalled Ms. George, a financial writer and educator from Philadelphia. But then, instead of stewing, she called her friend. “I told her I failed and admitted I was jealous,” she said. Ms. George knew that being upfront would calm her envy, and she was surprised, when it shifted her attitude she could share her friend’s happiness, and experience her own, in turn.“I congratulated her and told her she inspired me.” Finding pleasure in another person’s good fortune is what social scientists call freudenfreude, a term(inspired by the German word for joy)that describes the happiness we feel when someone else succeeds, even if it doesn’t directly involve us. “Freudenfreude is like social glue,” said Catherine, a professor of psychology at Ursinus College. “It makes relationships closer and more enjoyable.” Erika Weiz, an empathy researcher and postdoctoral fellow in psychology at Harvard University, said the feeling closely resembles positive empathy— the ability to experience someone else’s positive emotions. A small 2024 study examined positive empathy’s role in daily life and found that it stimulates kind acts, like helping others. Sharing in someone else’s joy can also foster resilience (韧性), improve life satisfaction and help people cooperate during a conflict. However, freudenfreude doesn’t always come easily. In zero- sum situations, your loss might really sting, making freudenfreude feel out of reach. If you were raised in a family that paired winning with self- worth, Dr. Catherine said, you might misread someone else’s victory as a personal shortcoming. And factors like mental health and overall well- being can also affect your ability to participate in someone else’s joy. Still, freudenfreude is worthwhile— and there are ways to encourage the feeling. 28. What does the underlined phrase “being upfront” in Paragraph 1 mean? A. Hiding one’s true feelings. B. Honestly expressing one’s emotions. C. Always escaping from reality. D. Offering practical advice immediately. 29. Which of the following belongs to freudenfreude? A. You felt upset that your best friend lost a match. B. You felt happy that you defeated your opponent. C. You felt delighted that your classmate got a prize. D. You felt glad that you helped those weaker than you. 30. What is paragraph 3 mainly about? A. The benefits of freudenfreude. B. The reasons for freudenfreude. C. The definition of freudenfreude. D. The factors affecting freudenfreude. 31. What might the author continue talking about? A. The importance of sharing others’ success. B. The way to seek more happiness in our life. C. The harm that freudenfreude may bring to us. D. The tips on how to experience freudenfreude. D A new study gives all of us some extra motivation when it comes to getting outside and exercising: every day you manage to fit in an additional one-hour walk, you could be boosting your lifespan by an extra six hours. That’s the approximate benefit if you’ re currently in the 25 percent least active people in the US, according to fitness tracker data analyzed by a team led by researchers from Griffith University in Australia. If you’ re in the top 25 percent, an extra walk isn’t as much of a boost—you’ve already received most of the health benefits from exercise— but the study also highlights and quantifies some of the key benefits of an active life.“If all individuals were as active as the top 25 percent of the population, Americans over the age of 40 could live an extra 5.3 years on average,” write the researchers in their published paper. “It can be any type of exercise to reach that top quartile (四分位数) but would roughly be the equivalent of just about three hours of walking per day.” The team analyzed wearable activity data from the National Health and Nutritional Examination Survey (NHANES) in the US, which recruits 5,000 volunteers a year. To calculate how changes in activity levels can influence mortality (死亡) risk, researchers referenced the NHANES results against a life-table model (where mortality rates are tracked at specific age points) and previous research into exercise and lifespan. In this particular study, data on 824 participants were excluded because they didn’t wear the trackers for long enough. Suggesting that exercise leads to a longer life is nothing new, but quantifying and simplifying the benefits can grab attention— whether it’s five minutes a day to reduce blood pressure or nine seconds a week to grow muscle. Now there’s a new target to aim for: an extra hour’s walk a day. If you find that too discouraging a prospect, remember that any amount of exercise makes a difference to health and well- being. 32. What does the new study find? A. Walking can cure some diseases effectively. B. Perhaps daily walking can extend our lifespan. C. Increasing exercise mostly benefits active people. D. The less active people must exercise an hour a day. 33. How much daily walking is roughly needed to reach the top 25% active group? A. Nine seconds. B. One hour. C. Three hours. D. Five hours. 34. What is the function of Paragraph 3? A. Giving the examples. B. Analyzing the data. C. Predicting the effect. D. Explaining the method. 35. Why does the author mention “nine seconds a week to grow muscle” in the last paragraph? A. To compare three different types of exercise. B. To emphasize the flexibility in setting exercise goals. C. To demonstrate the precision of modern exercise research. D. To highlight the advantage of walking over strength training. 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。 I started my Ph. D. studying species on a remote oceanic island, where I would be spending most of the next 3 years through rainforest to count vertebrates (无脊椎动物).

It’s how I get all the thoughts and worries out of my head and make sense of them. There are so many extra memories in the pages of this one — if I turn back to last September, I’ll never forget that day. That week. It was the worst of my life. Stormy — a sheepdog — has always been a part of our family. I remember when I was old enough I learned to play with him. He seemed like to be my brother. Next to my diary, he’s always been the person I tell everything to. And I got into the habit of taking my books up to the paddock (牧场) to study, leaning on the shelter and watching Stormy herd the sheep. It was a sunny, cool evening. I was just closing my books when my eye was drawn to Stormy. He was standing in the far corner of the paddock, where the flies are the worst, and looking at his belly (肚子). Something was different about him, but I couldn’t work out what. I walked down the field towards him and he wandered off up the hill. Maybe it had just been the flies? But the nagging (让人不安的) feeling I’d had earlier just wouldn’t go away. After dinner I asked Mum for a ham sausage from the fridge and went back up the field. He was pawing at the ground and didn’t even seem to notice me approach. I noticed straight away that he looked quite sweaty even in the cool evening breeze, and he completely ignored the sausage when I offered it to him. My heart sank — I knew right then that something was really wrong. Mum still says she’s never heard me shout as loud as I did then. All I remember is the sound of the gate opening and her rushing through, closely followed by Dad. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Maybe I’d over-reacted? _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Over the next week, Stormy had to stay in the recovery room of the hospital. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 常德市2026届高三起点考试试题卷 英语 注意事项： 1. 本试卷共10页，其中试题卷8页，答题卡2页。满分150分，考试时间120分钟。答题前，考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在答题卡上。 2. 回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡上对应的答案标号涂黑，如有改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案；回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上，写在本试卷上无效。 3. 考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 第一部分听力（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 例：How much is the shirt?

But as my parents examined Stormy, their faces turned serious. Dad gently pressed Stormy’s belly. “It’s a little serious,” Dad muttered, exchanging a worried glance with Mum. Without hesitation, they lifted Stormy into the car and sped to the vet. My hands trembled as I clutched my diary in the backseat, praying silently. The vet confirmed our fears — Stormy had a twisted stomach, a life-threatening condition. Tears streamed down my face as they rushed him into surgery. The waiting felt endless, each tick of the clock echoing my fear. Mum held my hand, trying to assure me that everything would be alright. After what seemed a century, the vet came smiling at us and explained that Stormy’s surgery had been complicated, but successful. Over the next week, Stormy had to stay in the recovery room of the hospital. Every day after school, I would rush to the hospital, sit by his side, and read gently from my diary, hoping to comfort him. His tail wagged weakly when he heard my voice, though his eyes still looked tired. The vet said his progress was remarkable, thanks to our quick action. Back home, I rearranged my study spot closer to Stormy, keeping him nearby as he regained strength. Five months later, we could begin walking him in hand. And today? Well, I’m writing in my diary, sitting in my usual spot leaning against the field shelter, watching Stormy herd the sheep. My diary pages hold not just worry, but also gratitude: Stormy is still with me, healthy and happy, as a family member. 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$这是常德市2026届高3起点考试英语科听力部分，该部分分为第一第二两节。注意，回答听力部分时，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客观题答题卡上。现在是听力试音时间。Hello, international friends club.
