B When I was 12, I disappeared into my bedroom with a $40 folk guitar and a book of Beatles songs. I had no musical gift, as a series of failed music lessons had told me: the lessons were merely dull. I felt sharp pain in my fingers as I tried to press down on the strings without making them buzz, and my left hand ached as I tried. Although I failed several times, I worked my way through ‘Rain’ and ‘Love Me Do’ and discovered the thrill of homemade musical harmony. The sense of happiness I felt that week has stayed with me. Fifty years later, I am still not a very good guitar player, but that week’s work and the years of self-directed practice on the instrument became a model for almost every meaningful thing I’ve done since. It gave me confidence that passion and patience can make one master any task. As graduates walk into the world, most think hard about what they might do with their lives. So it seems suitable now to talk about a distinction that I first recognized in that bedroom. It’s the difference between achievement and accomplishment. Achievement means completing the task imposed (强加于) from the outside. Accomplishment is the end point of a consuming activity we’ve chosen, whose reward is the sense of happiness that rises uniquely from absorption in a thing outside ourselves. As a parent now, I’ve seen the pure satisfaction of accomplishment arise in my own children. More than a decade ago, my then 12-year-old son, a boy crazy about Dai Vermon’s card tricks, found that the many hours he’d spent learning the Erdnase color change was not a necessarily rewarded act in eighth grade. I fought on his behalf to cut down on homework because homework was cutting into his magic. It turns out that the steps he has taken in life that led him eventually to take graduate degrees in philosophy began with his childhood passion for magic. The concentration and subtlety (敏锐) of mind required to master some knowledge of philosophy can be rooted more readily in Dai Vernon’s magic than in getting straight A’s. Self-directed accomplishment can become a foundation of our sense of self and of our sense of possibility. 4. What do we know about the 12-year-old author? A. He didn’t like music lessons. B. He left home with his guitar. C. He discovered his talent for music. D. He was injured while playing the guitar. 5. Why is accomplishment better than achievement according to the author? A. It is easier for graduates. B. It focuses on individuals. C. It brings you true happiness. D. It makes you more successful. 6. What was the author’s attitude to his son’s passion for magic? A Critical. B. Supportive. C. Skeptical. D. Dismissive. 7. What does the author mainly want to convey in the text? A. Magic tricks might be the key to academic success. B. Accomplishment is more difficult than achievement. C. Your childhood interests can influence your future choices. D. Self-directed accomplishment is vital for personal growth. C Genres are often viewed as structural frameworks for literary texts, onto which elements like the imagery, character, plot, and setting are layered. These frameworks are passed down through generations, evolving (逐渐演变) over time. Among all genres, the novel received the most critical attention in the twentieth century, often praised as the “king of genres” due to its reflection on the real world. Yet, in the nineteenth century, it was primarily seen as a form of middle-class entertainment. It was not until the twentieth century that the novel was lifted to the status of an art form, joining in the same league as painting or classical music. Later on, many scholars successively studied the characteristics of novels from the 18th and 19th centuries. Recently, in a book of Edwin Frank, Stranger Than Fiction, he has raised an appealing question: Is there such a thing as a “twentieth-century novel”? Is it meaningful to distinguish the twentieth-century novel from its nineteenth-century predecessor or even from the novel of the twenty-first century? Frank thinks so. In his book, he illustrates how the twentieth-century novel matures into a distinct literary genre. The twentieth century is a period of violent change; therefore, violent change is what the twentieth-century novel reflects — not, or not only, in its subject matter but in its form. Frank suggests that, modern as the twentieth-century novel is, it shows the cultural relevance to development of societies However, that relevance seems to have waned. Today, the novel no longer holds a central place in the cultural conversation. People’s daily question has shifted from “What are you reading?” to “What are you streaming?” Television series have emerged as the dominant form of middle-class entertainment in the twenty-first century. Has prestige television reshaped the role of the novel? Many nineteenth-century novels gained vitality in the twentieth century through film adaptations. Henry James, for example, would likely be pleased to know that The Portrait of a Lady has been adapted into a BBC miniseries, a feature film, and even a television version-each reaching a far larger audience than the original print edition could ever have hoped for. 8. Why did the novel gain recognition in the twentieth century? A. It was written in amusing forms. B. It mirrored its link with reality. C. It was authored by the middle class. D. It displayed attractive characters. 9. Which aspect of the twentieth-century novel does Stranger Than Fiction focus on? A. Its expansion and effect B. Its rise and fall. C. Its evolution and uniqueness. D. Its significance and limitation. 10. What does the underlined word “waned” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Varied. B. Peaked. C. Remained. D. Weakened. 11. What does the example of The Portrait of a Lady indicate? A. Media breathe new life into novels. B. Adaptations lower novels’ status. C. TV shows change the role of novels. D. Novels lose their artistic appeal. D A rare lunar crystal found on the near side of the moon is giving scientists hope of providing limitless power for the world forever. The lunar crystal is made of material previously unknown to the scientific community and contains a key element for the nuclear fusion process, a form of power generation that uses the same forces that fuel the Sun and other stars in the universe. The crystal was found in lunar basalt particles (玄武岩颗粒) collected from the moon in 2020 and makes China the third country to discover a new lunar mineral, behind the U. S. and the former Soviet Union. The Chinese moon mission landed in Oceanus Procellarum in December 2020 and has been the first lunar sample return mission since the 1970s. More than 1.7 kg of lunar samples were collected and delivered safely to Earth. The crystal is clear and roughly the width of a single human hair. It formed in a region of the moon that was volcanically active around 1.2 billion years ago. One of the primary ingredients found in this crystal is helium-3, which scientists believe may provide a stable fuel source for nuclear fusion reactors. The element is incredibly rare on Earth, but it seems to be fairly prevalent on the moon. Although it is too early for scientists to have made any financial estimates on such a fuel source, it will undoubtedly be extremely costly: There is, of course, the matter of bringing the crystals back from the moon, especially in the large amounts that are needed to fuel fusion reactors. 12. Why is discovering helium-3 significant? A. It offers a method for converting lunar basalt directly into electrical energy. B. It indicates the possibility of utilizing solar energy directly from the sun. C. It provides a potential stable fuel source for nuclear fusion reactors. D. It suggests that coal reserves could be refilled through lunar resources. 13. What do we learn about the lunar crystal? A. It was found from the far side of the moon. B. It provides fuel to the sun and other stars. C. It was the first sample collected by China. D. It was formed in less than a billion years. 14. What does the underlined word probably mean in paragraph 4? A. Common. B. Valuable. C. Powerful. D. Transparent. 15. Why is it extremely costly to utilize helium-3 as a fuel source? A. It is prohibited by the international laws. B. It involves complex and expensive processes to extract helium-3 from the crystal. C. It requires the development of entirely new types of fusion reactors. D. It demands large amounts of crystals from the moon. 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。 According to scientist Shirley Mueller, collecting feeds the pleasure center of the brain, but without the drawbacks of alcohol or smoking. “ ____16____” says Mueller. “And it’s also a way for the collector to temporarily let go of the burdens in their lives and find joy in the moment.” ____17____ More than 100,000 years ago, our ancestors searched for stones, shells, and other useless objects just as they hunted for food.

On a physiological level, research in Frontiers in Human Neuroscience shows that physical objects have unique effects on brain functions specifically related to memory.

Collectors often report that the friendship with other collectors is one of the most rewarding aspects of collecting.

A. Collecting also seems to meet fundamental relationship needs B. Collecting can be a form of exercise for the mind C. Collecting is a way to feel a sense of safety and comfort D. Of course, collecting is not a new phenomenon E It is a bit challenging and tiring for us to display F. In that way, collections act as a physical time machine G.

He wasn’t a troublemaker, and he wasn’t impressive either. He followed the school rules, handed in homework on time, and kept to himself. His grades were average. He wasn’t unhappy, and he wasn’t proud. But he often felt tired, distracted, and unsure of where he was heading. Every day felt the same, and weeks went by without progress. One evening in early September, Daniel sat alone in his room and stared at his messy desk. Papers were thrown everywhere; books were left open; and old notes were crumpled (弄皱的) in the corners. He suddenly felt frustrated — not because of one bad thing, but because of many small things left undone. He picked up a notebook and wrote one line: Tomorrow’s goal — clean my desk. The next day, he came home from school, put his bag down, and spent ten minutes organizing the desk. When he finished, the once messy space looked bright and tidy. It was a small change, but it felt like a victory and lit a spark in him. The following day, he added a second goal: Finish all his homework before 9 pm. He kept his word. That night, he went to bed earlier and felt more energetic the next morning. From that day on, Daniel decided to set one small goal every day. Each goal was simple and achievable — drink more water, review one chapter of history, arrive at school five minutes earlier, exchange a friendly greeting with the librarian, and check his backpack for missing assignments. None of the goals were difficult on their own. But as the days passed, he noticed small improvements. His notes were neater. His homework was more accurate. He had more time after school to relax or read. His mornings felt less rushed. By the end of the first month, he had made more progress than in the previous term. His teachers began to notice it. One of them asked if he had started studying differently. Daniel simply replied, “I’m trying to do one thing better each day.” 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。 As time went by, Daniel no longer limited his goals to academic tasks but gradually became more varied. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ By the end of the term, Daniel’s classmates, impressed by his progress, began asking for advice. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2023级高二学年下学期期末考试 英语试题 考试时间：120分钟 分值：150分 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。 1.

(特别值得注意的是，这个跳蚤市场有大量的古董家具可供选择，但也有很多东西让时尚爱好者花钱购买。它经常有珠宝以及从复古到高级定制的各种时尚物品。)”可知，这两个市场都能吸引追求时尚生活的人。故选A项。 B When I was 12, I disappeared into my bedroom with a $40 folk guitar and a book of Beatles songs. I had no musical gift, as a series of failed music lessons had told me: the lessons were merely dull. I felt sharp pain in my fingers as I tried to press down on the strings without making them buzz, and my left hand ached as I tried. Although I failed several times, I worked my way through ‘Rain’ and ‘Love Me Do’ and discovered the thrill of homemade musical harmony. The sense of happiness I felt that week has stayed with me. Fifty years later, I am still not a very good guitar player, but that week’s work and the years of self-directed practice on the instrument became a model for almost every meaningful thing I’ve done since. It gave me confidence that passion and patience can make one master any task. As graduates walk into the world, most think hard about what they might do with their lives. So it seems suitable now to talk about a distinction that I first recognized in that bedroom. It’s the difference between achievement and accomplishment. Achievement means completing the task imposed (强加于) from the outside. Accomplishment is the end point of a consuming activity we’ve chosen, whose reward is the sense of happiness that rises uniquely from absorption in a thing outside ourselves. As a parent now, I’ve seen the pure satisfaction of accomplishment arise in my own children. More than a decade ago, my then 12-year-old son, a boy crazy about Dai Vermon’s card tricks, found that the many hours he’d spent learning the Erdnase color change was not a necessarily rewarded act in eighth grade. I fought on his behalf to cut down on homework because homework was cutting into his magic. It turns out that the steps he has taken in life that led him eventually to take graduate degrees in philosophy began with his childhood passion for magic The concentration and subtlety (敏锐) of mind required to master some knowledge of philosophy can be rooted more readily in Dai Vernon’s magic than in getting straight A’s. Self-directed accomplishment can become a foundation of our sense of self and of our sense of possibility. 4. What do we know about the 12-year-old author? A. He didn’t like music lessons. B. He left home with his guitar. C. He discovered his talent for music. D. He was injured while playing the guitar. 5. Why is accomplishment better than achievement according to the author? A. It is easier for graduates. B. It focuses on individuals. C. It brings you true happiness. D. It makes you more successful. 6 What was the author’s attitude to his son’s passion for magic? A. Critical. B. Supportive. C. Skeptical. D. Dismissive. 7. What does the author mainly want to convey in the text? A. Magic tricks might be the key to academic success. B. Accomplishment is more difficult than achievement. C. Your childhood interests can influence your future choices. D. Self-directed accomplishment is vital for personal growth. 【答案】4. A 5. C 6. B 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文中作者结合自身和儿子的经历，阐述了成就(achievement)和造诣(accomplishment)的区别，强调自我导向的造诣对个人成长至关重要。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“When I was 12, I disappeared into my bedroom with a $40 folk guitar and a book of Beatles songs. I had no musical gift, as a series of failed music lessons had told me: the lessons were merely dull. (十二岁那年，我带着一把四十美元的民谣吉他和一本披头士歌谱躲进卧室。我并没有什么音乐天赋——此前一次次失败的音乐课早已证明了这点，只不过那些课程实在枯燥透顶。)”可知，12岁的作者觉得音乐课很枯燥，不喜欢音乐课程。故选A项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Achievement means completing the task imposed (强加于) from the outside. Accomplishment is the end point of a consuming activity we’ve chosen, whose reward is the sense of happiness that rises uniquely from absorption in a thing outside ourselves. (成就意味着完成外界强加的任务，而造诣则是我们主动选择的投入性活动的终点——其回报正是那种唯有忘我投入时才能获得的独特幸福感。)”可知，造诣能带来真正的幸福，这是它比成就更好的原因。故选C项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“More than a decade ago, my then 12-year-old son, a boy crazy about Dai Vermon’s card tricks, found that the many hours he’d spent learning the Erdnase color change was not a necessarily rewarded act in eighth grade. I fought on his behalf to cut down on homework because homework was cutting into his magic. (十多年前，我时年十二岁的儿子痴迷于戴·弗农的纸牌戏法。当他发现花无数小时练习的“厄德奈斯换牌术”在八年级根本得不到认可时，我主动为他争取减免作业，因为那些功课正在蚕食他的魔术梦想。)”可知，作者为了让儿子追逐魔术梦想，主动为他争取减免作业，说明作者支持儿子对魔术的热爱。故选B项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是最后一段中“Self-directed accomplishment can become a foundation of our sense of self and of our sense of possibility. (自我导向的造诣可以成为我们自我认知和可能性认知的基础。)”可推知，作者结合自身和儿子的经历，说明了成就(achievement)和造诣(accomplishment)的区别，主要想传达的是自我导向的造诣对个人成长至关重要。故选D项。 C Genres are often viewed as structural frameworks for literary texts, onto which elements like the imagery, character, plot, and setting are layered. These frameworks are passed down through generations, evolving (逐渐演变) over time. Among all genres, the novel received the most critical attention in the twentieth century, often praised as the “king of genres” due to its reflection on the real world. Yet, in the nineteenth century, it was primarily seen as a form of middle-class entertainment. It was not until the twentieth century that the novel was lifted to the status of an art form, joining in the same league as painting or classical music. Later on, many scholars successively studied the characteristics of novels from the 18th and 19th centuries. Recently, in a book of Edwin Frank, Stranger Than Fiction, he has raised an appealing question: Is there such a thing as a “twentieth-century novel”? Is it meaningful to distinguish the twentieth-century novel from its nineteenth-century predecessor or even from the novel of the twenty-first century? Frank thinks so. In his book, he illustrates how the twentieth-century novel matures into a distinct literary genre. The twentieth century is a period of violent change; therefore, violent change is what the twentieth-century novel reflects — not, or not only, in its subject matter but in its form. Frank suggests that, modern as the twentieth-century novel is, it shows the cultural relevance to development of societies However, that relevance seems to have waned. Today, the novel no longer holds a central place in the cultural conversation. People’s daily question has shifted from “What are you reading?” to “What are you streaming?” Television series have emerged as the dominant form of middle-class entertainment in the twenty-first century. Has prestige television reshaped the role of the novel? Many nineteenth-century novels gained vitality in the twentieth century through film adaptations. Henry James, for example, would likely be pleased to know that The Portrait of a Lady has been adapted into a BBC miniseries, a feature film, and even a television version-each reaching a far larger audience than the original print edition could ever have hoped for. 8. Why did the novel gain recognition in the twentieth century? A. It was written in amusing forms. B. It mirrored its link with reality. C. It was authored by the middle class. D. It displayed attractive characters. 9. Which aspect of the twentieth-century novel does Stranger Than Fiction focus on? A. Its expansion and effect B. Its rise and fall. C. Its evolution and uniqueness. D. Its significance and limitation. 10. What does the underlined word “waned” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Varied. B. Peaked. C. Remained. D. Weakened. 11. What does the example of The Portrait of a Lady indicate? A. Media breathe new life into novels. B. Adaptations lower novels’ status. C. TV shows change the role of novels. D. Novels lose their artistic appeal. 【答案】8. B 9. C 10. D 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了小说在不同时期的地位变化，探讨二十世纪小说的特点，指出其如今地位的变化。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Among all genres, the novel received the most critical attention in the twentieth century, often praised as the “king of genres” due to its reflection on the real world. (在二十世纪的所有文学体裁中，小说获得了极其重要的关注，因其对现实世界的深刻反映而常被誉为“体裁之王”)”可知，小说在20世纪获得认可的原因是它反映了与现实的联系。故选B项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Recently, in a book of Edwin Frank, Stranger Than Fiction, he has raised an appealing question: Is there such a thing as a “twentieth-century novel”? Is it meaningful to distinguish the twentieth-century novel from its nineteenth-century predecessor or even from the novel of the twenty-first century? Frank thinks so. In his book, he illustrates how the twentieth century novel matures into a distinct literary genre. (最近，在埃德温·弗兰克的一本书《比小说更奇离奇》中，他提出了一个吸引人的问题：是否存在“20世纪小说”这种东西？将20世纪的小说与19世纪的小说，甚至与21世纪的小说区分开来有意义吗？弗兰克认为有意义。在他的书中，他阐述了20世纪的小说如何成熟为一种独特的文学体裁)”可知，《比小说更奇离奇》关注的是20世纪小说的演变和独特性。故选C项。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词后“Today, the novel no longer holds a central place in the cultural conversation. People’s daily question has shifted from “What are you reading?” to “What are you streaming?” (如今，小说在文化对话中不再占据中心地位。人们日常的问题已经从“你在读什么？”转变为“你在看什么流媒体节目？”)”可知，小说与社会发展的相关性似乎已经减弱了，所以“waned”意思是“减弱”，与D项“Weakened”同义。故选D项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Many nineteenth century novels gained vitality in the twentieth century through film adaptations. Henry James, for example, would likely be pleased to know that The Portrait of a Lady has been adapted into a BBC miniseries, a feature film, and even a television version each reaching a far larger audience than the original print edition could ever have hoped for. (许多19世纪的小说在20世纪通过电影改编获得了生机。例如，亨利·詹姆斯可能会很高兴地得知，《一位女士的画像》被改编成了BBC迷你剧、故事片，甚至是电视版——每一种改编形式的受众都比原版印刷版可能希望达到的受众要多得多)”可知，《一位女士的画像》证明了现代媒体对小说的改编让其获得了生机，表明媒体为小说注入了新的活力。故选A项。 D A rare lunar crystal found on the near side of the moon is giving scientists hope of providing limitless power for the world forever. The lunar crystal is made of material previously unknown to the scientific community and contains a key element for the nuclear fusion process, a form of power generation that uses the same forces that fuel the Sun and other stars in the universe. The crystal was found in lunar basalt particles (玄武岩颗粒) collected from the moon in 2020 and makes China the third country to discover a new lunar mineral, behind the U. S. and the former Soviet Union. The Chinese moon mission landed in Oceanus Procellarum in December 2020 and has been the first lunar sample return mission since the 1970s. More than 1.7 kg of lunar samples were collected and delivered safely to Earth. The crystal is clear and roughly the width of a single human hair. It formed in a region of the moon that was volcanically active around 1.2 billion years ago. One of the primary ingredients found in this crystal is helium-3, which scientists believe may provide a stable fuel source for nuclear fusion reactors. The element is incredibly rare on Earth, but it seems to be fairly prevalent on the moon. Although it is too early for scientists to have made any financial estimates on such a fuel source, it will undoubtedly be extremely costly: There is, of course, the matter of bringing the crystals back from the moon, especially in the large amounts that are needed to fuel fusion reactors. 12. Why is discovering helium-3 significant? A. It offers a method for converting lunar basalt directly into electrical energy. B. It indicates the possibility of utilizing solar energy directly from the sun. C. It provides a potential stable fuel source for nuclear fusion reactors. D. It suggests that coal reserves could be refilled through lunar resources. 13. What do we learn about the lunar crystal? A. It was found from the far side of the moon. B. It provides fuel to the sun and other stars. C. It was the first sample collected by China. D. It was formed in less than a billion years. 14. What does the underlined word probably mean in paragraph 4? A. Common. B. Valuable. C. Powerful. D. Transparent. 15. Why is it extremely costly to utilize helium-3 as a fuel source? A. It is prohibited by the international laws. B. It involves complex and expensive processes to extract helium-3 from the crystal. C. It requires the development of entirely new types of fusion reactors. D. It demands large amounts of crystals from the moon. 【答案】12. C 13. C 14. A 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了中国在2020年采集的月球玄武岩颗粒中发现的一种月球晶体，其含有的氦 3或为核聚变反应堆提供稳定燃料源，但利用该燃料源成本极高。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“A rare lunar crystal found on the near side of the moon is giving scientists hope of providing limitless power for the world forever.(在月球近侧发现的一种罕见的月球晶体给科学家们带来了希望，即永远为世界提供无限的能源)”和第四段中“One of the primary ingredients found in this crystal is helium-3, which scientists believe may provide a stable fuel source for nuclear fusion reactors.(这种晶体中发现的主要成分之一是氦-3，科学家们认为它可能为核聚变反应堆提供稳定的燃料来源)”可知，发现氦-3的重要意义在于它为核聚变反应堆提供了一种潜在的稳定燃料源。故选C项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“The crystal was found in lunar basalt particles (玄武岩颗粒) collected from the moon in 2020 and makes China the third country to discover a new lunar mineral, behind the U. S. and the former Soviet Union. The Chinese moon mission landed in Oceanus Procellarum in December 2020 and has been the first lunar sample return mission since the 1970s.(这种晶体是在2020年从月球收集的月球玄武岩颗粒中发现的，这使中国成为继美国和前苏联之后第三个发现月球新矿物的国家。2020年12月，中国的月球任务在风暴洋着陆，这是自20世纪70年代以来首次月球样本返回任务)”可知，该晶体是中国采集的首个样本。故选C项。 【14题详解】 词句猜测题。划线词所在句“The element is incredibly rare on Earth, but it seems to be fairly prevalent on the moon.(这种元素在地球上极其罕见，但在月球上似乎相当普遍)”中“but”表转折，与地球上的“rare(罕见)”相对，可推测“prevalent”的意思是“常见的、普遍的”，与A项“Common”同义。故选A项。 【15题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Although it is too early for scientists to have made any financial estimates on such a fuel source, it will undoubtedly be extremely costly: There is, of course, the matter of bringing the crystals back from the moon, especially in the large amounts that are needed to fuel fusion reactors.(尽管科学家目前还难以对这种燃料资源进行经济评估，但其成本无疑将极其高昂：毕竟，首先需要解决从月球运回大量氦-3晶体的难题——而要维持核聚变反应堆运转，所需的数量更是庞大)”可知，利用氦-3作为燃料源成本极高是因为需要从月球获取大量的晶体，成本极其高昂。故选D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。 According to scientist Shirley Mueller, collecting feeds the pleasure center of the brain, but without the drawbacks of alcohol or smoking. “ ____16____” says Mueller. “And it’s also a way for the collector to temporarily let go of the burdens in their lives and find joy in the moment.” ____17____ More than 100,000 years ago, our ancestors searched for stones, shells, and other useless objects just as they hunted for food. In modem times, while some people collect things as a statement of who they are, others collect things as an investment or a source of pleasure. Collecting requires attaining knowledge.

Those activities stimulate areas of the brain involved in executive functioning that include working memory, multitasking, and impulse control. ____18____. On a physiological level, research in Frontiers in Human Neuroscience shows that physical objects have unique effects on brain functions specifically related to memory. Meanwhile, visualizing objects stimulates many areas of the brain. Each object is associated with a person, experience, or moment in time, and you can better recall those things because you have a reminder. ____19____ Each item is a clue for your memory. ____20____. Collectors often report that the friendship with other collectors is one of the most rewarding aspects of collecting.

He followed the school rules, handed in homework on time, and kept to himself. His grades were average. He wasn’t unhappy, and he wasn’t proud. But he often felt tired, distracted, and unsure of where he was heading. Every day felt the same, and weeks went by without progress. One evening in early September, Daniel sat alone in his room and stared at his messy desk. Papers were thrown everywhere; books were left open; and old notes were crumpled (弄皱的) in the corners. He suddenly felt frustrated — not because of one bad thing, but because of many small things left undone. He picked up a notebook and wrote one line: Tomorrow’s goal — clean my desk. The next day, he came home from school, put his bag down, and spent ten minutes organizing the desk. When he finished, the once messy space looked bright and tidy. It was a small change, but it felt like a victory and lit a spark in him. The following day, he added a second goal: Finish all his homework before 9 pm. He kept his word. That night, he went to bed earlier and felt more energetic the next morning. From that day on, Daniel decided to set one small goal every day. Each goal was simple and achievable — drink more water, review one chapter of history, arrive at school five minutes earlier, exchange a friendly greeting with the librarian, and check his backpack for missing assignments. None of the goals were difficult on their own. But as the days passed, he noticed small improvements. His notes were neater. His homework was more accurate. He had more time after school to relax or read. His mornings felt less rushed. By the end of the first month, he had made more progress than in the previous term. His teachers began to notice it. One of them asked if he had started studying differently. Daniel simply replied, “I’m trying to do one thing better each day.” 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。 As time went by, Daniel no longer limited his goals to academic tasks but gradually became more varied. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ By the end of the term, Daniel’s classmates, impressed by his progress, began asking for advice. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 As time went by, Daniel no longer limited his goals to academic tasks but gradually became more varied. One week, he challenged himself to assist a person each day. Another week, he aimed to contribute at least once in every class discussion, no matter how small the remark. Gradually, he became more involved in group activities and more approachable in conversations. He even joined the volunteer club after setting a goal to give back to the community. Through these consistent, purposeful actions, Daniel’s confidence quietly blossomed. He stopped waiting for change to happen; instead, he learned to create it, one small step at a time. By the end of the term, Daniel’s classmates, impressed by his progress, began asking for advice. He shared his strategy: Set one small, realistic goal each day, tackling tasks with renewed enthusiasm. Inspired by his routine, some tried it themselves — whether improving time management or building self-discipline. Over time, Daniel noticed a quiet shift. Classmates grew more focused and more motivated. Teachers praised the improved atmosphere. What began as a personal habit had sparked a wave of growth around him, showing that change doesn’t require grand plans — just simple steps, taken consistently. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物成长为线索展开，讲述了主人公丹尼尔从平凡高中生到通过每日微小目标实现自我提升的转变。起初，他因生活缺乏方向感到迷茫，但通过整理书桌、按时完成作业等日常行动逐步建立自律。随着习惯的养成，他将目标扩展至社交与社区服务，最终不仅个人能力显著提升，还带动了班级积极氛围。故事揭示了“微小改变累积质变”的成长哲理。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“随着时间的推移，丹尼尔的目标不再局限于学术任务，而是逐渐变得更加多样化。”可知，第一段可描写丹尼尔将目标从学业拓展到社交与公益领域，通过每日助人、主动参与课堂讨论、加入志愿者俱乐部等具体行动，逐步培养自信并学会主动创造改变。 ②由第二段首句内容“学期结束时，丹尼尔的同学们对他的进步印象深刻，开始向他征求意见。”可知，第二段可描写同学们向丹尼尔请教方法，他分享每日设定小目标的策略，同学们纷纷效仿，班级氛围改善，最终体现微小行动带来的集体成长感悟。 2.续写线索：目标拓展—具体行动—自信提升—主动创造改变—同学询问—策略分享—效仿实践—集体改善—感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①.帮助：assist/aid/support ②.参与：become involved in/get engaged in ③.处理：tackle/handle/deal with 情绪类 ①.热情：enthusiasm/passion ②.赞扬：praise/acclaim 【点睛】[高分句型1].
