While the program will provide all textbooks, e-textbooks, manuals, and access keys, free of charge, it will not provide single use materials such as lab goggles, engineering kits, and nursing kits. Once students have registered for classes, the book store will receive course lists and begin preparing materials. One month before classes start, students will receive an email asking if they would prefer to pick up their materials in the store or have them shipped directly. Digital materials will be made available through Blackboard online. Undergraduate students will be automatically (自动地) registered in the program, though they can choose to drop out. Dropping out will not reduce fees, as the cost of the program is included in tuition. If students decide to drop a class, and have already picked up their materials, they should return those materials within 48 hours. Students will be required to return textbooks before the last day of final exams in a given semester, despite the length of the course. If students want to keep their textbooks at the end of the semester, they can buy them at a reduced price. 1. What is the purpose of UR Essentials? A. To reduce the yearly tuition. B. To advertise for book stores. C. To lower the cost of course materials. D. To inform the students of taking classes. 2. What is provided by the program for free? A. Nursing kits. B. First-aid tools. C. E-mail accounts. D. Physical textbooks. 3. When should students return materials if they drop out registered classes? A. In 2 days. B. In a week. C. On the first day of class. D. On the last day of final exams. B Satellite images and the latest scientific studies may accurately inform us how quickly the world’s glaciers are melting. But American adventurer Garrett Fisher’s mission is different: to uncover the “souls” of disappearing glaciers — as he believes satellite images can’t replicate (复制) the beauty of glaciers. Many glaciers can’t be accessed on foot, or by drone, and helicopters are extremely expensive. Therefore, Fisher flew an old plane and hung his camera out of the window. “With an aeroplane, I can ‘stand’ in a place where a human can’t stand,” he says. “You can look down into the soul of the glacier from a close perspective.” Fisher has spent two summers photographing the glaciers of the Bernese Alps. He chooses the summer because the glaciers stand out clearly against the surrounding snow. He has to wait for sunshine and then brave violent and unpredictable winds — as well as a lack of oxygen — to climb as high as 14,000 ft in the Bernese Alps. “It takes a long time to wait for the right kind of day. The conventional wisdom is that the wind cannot be higher than 20 knots but I’ve gone up in as much as 50. At high altitudes, the wind tends not to be turbulent (猛烈的) if you’re on the proper side of the mountain. So it’s a lot like surfing this giant wave: if you stay in the right spot, everything’s fine.” In deep valleys, he is usually out of radio contact. If his plane gets into trouble, the glaciers look like a decent emergency runway, but appearances are misleading. “Those cracks are so large that if the engine quits and I go in one, the authorities probably wouldn’t ever find me again,” he says. “The risk is huge, but it’s absolutely worth it.” Fisher’s flying is showing the rapid melting of glaciers. “Everything I’m looking at will be gone in three generations.” He has now set up a non-profit group, the Global Glacier Initiative, with the aim of collecting a personal pictorial record of glaciers to record what is being lost and campaign for more decisive action to fight the climate crisis. “I’m willing to take the next 20 years and go chase every single glacier I can find on the planet,” he says. 4. Fisher photographs glaciers by aeroplane to _______. A. ensure the safety during flight B. catch the beauty of glaciers up close C. stand on some famous glaciers D. collect accurate data of glacier melting 5. What can we learn from Fisher’s photographing experience? A. He coped with high-altitude flying skillfully. B. He chose summer to avoid the unpredictable winds. C. He regarded glaciers as a practical emergency runway. D. He managed to keep contact with the outside in a crack. 6 The last paragraph emphasizes Fisher’s _______. A. anxiety over the rapid melting of glaciers B. determination to record disappearing glaciers C. ambition to set a record for photographing glaciers D. frustration with current actions against climate crisis 7. Which of the following words best describe Fisher? A. Adventurous and far-sighted. B. Optimistic and soft-hearted. C. Talented and strong-willed. D. Devoted and open-minded. C Most people see innovation as a flash of brilliance and Eureka, a new world is born. When Alexander Fleming returned to his lab in 1928, he found a bacteria culture he had grown was infected by fungus (霉菌), killing any colonies it touched. Rather than simply starting over, Fleming switched his focus to the fungus. He identified the bacteria-killing substance, which he called “penicillin”, and seemingly in a single stroke, created the new field of antibiotics. The truth, however, is messier. It wasn’t until 1943 that penicillin came into widespread use. To put Fleming’s discovery in context, consider Ignaz Semmelweis, who pioneered hand washing in maternity wards (产房), significantly reducing childbed fever but receiving scorn instead of fame. That was because in the 1850s, his ideas conflicted with the popular miasma theory, which attributed disease to “bad airs”. After his death in 1865, germ theory was accepted, paving the way for Fleming’s later work. Fleming was a gifted biologist but a poor communicator. When he published his results in 1929, few took notice. In 1935, Howard Florey and Ernst Chain discovered Fleming’s paper, understood its importance, and developed methods to produce penicillin in quantity. By 1943, with World War II raging, the War Production Board enlisted 21 companies to mass-produce penicillin, saving countless lives and ushering in the new age of antibiotics. Fleming, Florey and Chain received the Nobel Prize for Medicine in 1945. Penicillin owes much of its success to government support. For many other groundbreaking innovations like the Internet and GPS, their innovators, while carving their own path, are often uncertain of where the opportunity lies until they team up with other visionaries and corporations, who might have the resources to fast-track their ideas. So, look at any significant innovation and the myth of the lone genius and the “eureka moment” breaks down. 8. What is the first paragraph mainly about? A. An account of a lab story. B. Redefinition of a traditional view. C. Correction of a popular misconception. D. An analysis of a scientific phenomenon. 9. What is the message conveyed about Fleming’s story? A. Great minds think alike. B. The early bird catches the worm. C. Luck’s got your back when it comes to success. D. Early work is a steppingstone to later breakthroughs. 10. What does the underlined part “ushering in” mean in paragraph 3? A. Delaying. B. Introducing. C. Predicting. D. Transforming. 11. Which of the following can be the best title? A. Great Innovations: Individuals Are True Heroes. B. From Failure to Success: The Story of Penicillin. C. The Lone Genius: Fleming’s Discovery of Penicillin. D. The Long Road to Penicillin: How Innovation Happens. D In his book on basketball great Bill Bradley, writer John McPhee proposes that Bradley’s greatest asset had little to do with speed, strength, or flexibility. It had to do with his eyes. The work of University of Notre Dame researcher Matthew Robison suggests that McPhee may have been onto something. In a recent study Robison documented a phenomenon in eye movement — that links a steady, focused gaze with higher levels of performance. He made the discovery thanks to the unique capabilities of his lab, which includes over a dozen advanced instruments for tracking eye movement. These devices capture images of the eyes every four milliseconds, providing 250 frames per second. This detailed look at the eyes allows Robi-son to “read” the complex language of minute eye movement. Recently, though, Robison has been most interested not in why our eyes move, but in why we might — or might want to — keep them still. He was inspired to explore the meaning of a steady gaze by the work of applied sports psychologists helping athletes achieve high levels of performance. “Sports psychologists regularly advise that if you’re shooting a free throw in basketball, pick a spot on the edge and focus on it for a few seconds. Then shoot the free throw. The advice seems sound in many cases. But the causal pathway behind this phenomenon has not been thoroughly demonstrated or explained.” Robison explains. Robison assumed that a steady gaze had to do with attention control and better performance. To test his assumption, he recruited（招募）nearly 400 participants. Robison found that across the board, those participants who kept their gaze steady in the moments just before being called upon to complete a task performed with greater speed and with greater accuracy. His work suggested another question for Robison to explore: Would it be possible to train individuals to perform better by training them in developing a steadier gaze? So Robison launched a new three-year project focused on answering it. 12 What can be inferred about McPhee’s observation of Bill Bradley? A. It lacked scientific basis at the time. B. It revolutionized basketball training. C. It matched later scientific findings. D. It contradicted traditional coaching methods. 13. What does the underlined word “minute” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Time-related. B. Extremely small. C. Carefully recorded. D. Scientifically important. 14. What is the Robison’s attitude toward the sports psychology advice? A. Indifferent due to lack of theoretical support. B. Temporarily acceptable but requiring evidence. C. Supportive without reservation. D. Critical of its oversimplification. 15 Which would be the best title for the passage? A. The Evolution of Basketball Training Techniques B. Eye Tracking Technology: From Theory to Practice C. The Science Behind a Steady Gaze and Peak Performance D. Bill Bradley: A Case Study in Athletic Excellence 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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Reading is a key skill that requires you to be able to identify and find proper materials, and then read them with a specific aim in mind.

Every time he heard that sound, Michael’s heart felt heavy. He shifted uncomfortably in his seat, trying to focus on the show, but his mind continued to drift to thoughts of all the damage his dad was doing to his lungs by smoking. Michael just didn’t understand. His dad was a great dad-he spent a lot of his spare time with him playing outside and watching TV. Plus, he was really smart, so why would he be so stupid as to risk his health by smoking? What if it caused an early death? Had he ever considered how heartbroken it would make him and his mom? Michael’s mind wandered back to a conversation he had overheard between his parents. His mom had been pleading (恳求) with his dad, her voice full of worry. “You need to think about your health, for Michael’s sake if not for your own,” she had said. But his dad just brushed her off, saying he was too stressed to quit. One evening, Michael approached his mom to discuss the issue. “I’ve tried to persuade him to quit,” Michael’s mom expressed with a sigh. “But he always gets annoyed whenever I bring up the subject.” She looked tired and defeated. “At least your dad is considerate (为他人着想的) with his smoking; he never does it indoors or around others. He even changes his clothes to prevent us from smelling the smoke. Despite that, it's still so hard on him, on us...” The next day at school, Michael was playing basketball with his classmate Tim on the court. “Hey, does either of your parents smoke?” he asked. “Yeah, my dad smokes, but he’s cut down in the past year,” replied Tim. “Oh, how did he do that?" Michael asked curiously. “I don’t really know what happened. I guess he just realized it was time for a change,” said Tim, as he threw the ball back to Michael. This gave Michael a ray of hope and an idea. 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。 Michael decided to take action, hoping to encourage his dad to change. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The next day, Michael found a bittersweet reply from his dad on his bed. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2024-2025学年永和中学第二学期高一年级期末考试 英语试题 考生注意: 1.答题前,考生务必将自己的姓名、考生号填写在试卷和答题卡上,并将考生号条形码粘贴在答题卡上的指定位置。 2.回答选择题时,选出每小题答案后,用铅笔把答题卡对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动,用橡皮擦干净后,再选涂其他答案标号。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) 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 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，从题中所给的三个选项中选出最佳选项，并标在试卷的相应位置。听完每段对话后，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.

Therefore, Fisher flew an old plane and hung his camera out of the window. “With an aeroplane, I can ‘stand’ in a place where a human can’t stand,” he says. “You can look down into the soul of the glacier from a close perspective.” Fisher has spent two summers photographing the glaciers of the Bernese Alps. He chooses the summer because the glaciers stand out clearly against the surrounding snow. He has to wait for sunshine and then brave violent and unpredictable winds — as well as a lack of oxygen — to climb as high as 14,000 ft in the Bernese Alps. “It takes a long time to wait for the right kind of day. The conventional wisdom is that the wind cannot be higher than 20 knots but I’ve gone up in as much as 50. At high altitudes, the wind tends not to be turbulent (猛烈的) if you’re on the proper side of the mountain. So it’s a lot like surfing this giant wave: if you stay in the right spot, everything’s fine.” In deep valleys, he is usually out of radio contact. If his plane gets into trouble, the glaciers look like a decent emergency runway, but appearances are misleading. “Those cracks are so large that if the engine quits and I go in one, the authorities probably wouldn’t ever find me again,” he says. “The risk is huge, but it’s absolutely worth it.” Fisher’s flying is showing the rapid melting of glaciers. “Everything I’m looking at will be gone in three generations.” He has now set up a non-profit group, the Global Glacier Initiative, with the aim of collecting a personal pictorial record of glaciers to record what is being lost and campaign for more decisive action to fight the climate crisis. “I’m willing to take the next 20 years and go chase every single glacier I can find on the planet,” he says. 4. Fisher photographs glaciers by aeroplane to _______. A. ensure the safety during flight B. catch the beauty of glaciers up close C. stand on some famous glaciers D. collect accurate data of glacier melting 5. What can we learn from Fisher’s photographing experience? A. He coped with high-altitude flying skillfully. B. He chose summer to avoid the unpredictable winds. C. He regarded glaciers as a practical emergency runway. D. He managed to keep contact with the outside in a crack. 6. The last paragraph emphasizes Fisher’s _______. A. anxiety over the rapid melting of glaciers B. determination to record disappearing glaciers C. ambition to set a record for photographing glaciers D. frustration with current actions against climate crisis 7. Which of the following words best describe Fisher? A. Adventurous and far-sighted. B. Optimistic and soft-hearted. C. Talented and strong-willed. D. Devoted and open-minded. 【答案】4. B 5. A 6. B 7. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了美国探险家加勒特·费舍尔（Garrett Fisher）通过驾驶老式飞机，近距离拍摄正在消失的冰川，以记录它们的美丽并唤起人们对气候变化危机的关注。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“But American adventurer Garrett Fisher’s mission is different: to uncover the “souls” of disappearing glaciers — as he believes satellite images can’t replicate the beauty of glaciers. (但美国冒险家加勒特·费舍尔的使命不同：去揭示正在消失的冰川的“灵魂” —— 因为他认为卫星图像无法复制冰川的美。)”以及第二段中““With an aeroplane, I can ‘stand’ in a place where a human can’t stand,” he says. “You can look down into the soul of the glacier from a close perspective.” (“有了飞机，我就能‘站’在人类无法站立的地方，”他说。“你可以从近距离俯瞰冰川的灵魂。”)”可知，费舍尔乘坐飞机拍摄冰川是为了近距离捕捉冰川的美丽。故选B项。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“He has to wait for sunshine and then brave violent and unpredictable winds — as well as a lack of oxygen — to climb as high as 14,000 ft in the Bernese Alps. “It takes a long time to wait for the right kind of day. The conventional wisdom is that the wind cannot be higher than 20 knots but I’ve gone up in as much as 50. At high altitudes, the wind tends not to be turbulent if you’re on the proper side of the mountain. So it’s a lot like surfing this giant wave: if you stay in the right spot, everything’s fine.” (他必须等待阳光，然后要勇敢面对狂风和变幻莫测的气流，还要应对缺氧问题，才能在伯尔尼阿尔卑斯山脉攀登至14,000英尺的高度。“等待合适的天气需要很长时间。一般的经验是，风速不能超过20节，但我曾在风速高达50节的情况下登山。在高海拔地区，如果你处于山的合适一侧，风往往不会那么猛烈。所以这很像在驾驭巨浪：如果你待在合适的位置，一切就都没问题。”)”可知，费舍尔在拍摄过程中，需要应对高海拔、强风和缺氧等挑战，但他能够巧妙地应对这些挑战，说明他熟练地应对了高空飞行。故选A项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Fisher’s flying is showing the rapid melting of glaciers. “Everything I’m looking at will be gone in three generations.” He has now set up a non-profit group, the Global Glacier Initiative, with the aim of collecting a personal pictorial record of glaciers to record what is being lost and campaign for more decisive action to fight the climate crisis. “I’m willing to take the next 20 years and go chase every single glacier I can find on the planet,” he says. (费舍尔的飞行展示了冰川的快速融化。“我所看到的一切在三代人之后都将消失。”他现在成立了一个非营利组织“全球冰川倡议”，旨在收集冰川的个人图片记录，以记录正在失去的东西，并发起运动，呼吁采取更果断的行动来应对气候危机。“我愿意在接下来的20年里，去追寻地球上我能找到的每一条冰川，”他说。)”可知，最后一段强调了费舍尔记录正在消失的冰川的决心。故选B项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“Many glaciers can’t be accessed on foot, or by drone, and helicopters are extremely expensive. Therefore, Fisher flew an old plane and hung his camera out of the window. (许多冰川无法步行或使用无人机到达，而且直升机非常昂贵。因此，费舍尔驾驶一架旧飞机，把相机挂在窗外。)”以及最后一段中“I'm willing to take the next 20 years and go chase every single glacier I can find on the planet. (我愿意用接下来20年去追寻地球上我能找到的每一座冰川。)”可知，费舍尔敢于冒险，驾驶老式飞机拍摄冰川，并且他愿意花费20年的时间去追寻每一座冰川，着眼于冰川保护和气候危机应对,说明他具有远见卓识。因此，A项“Adventurous and far-sighted. (冒险和有远见的)”最能描述费舍尔。故选A项。 C Most people see innovation as a flash of brilliance and Eureka, a new world is born. When Alexander Fleming returned to his lab in 1928, he found a bacteria culture he had grown was infected by fungus (霉菌), killing any colonies it touched. Rather than simply starting over, Fleming switched his focus to the fungus. He identified the bacteria-killing substance, which he called “penicillin”, and seemingly in a single stroke, created the new field of antibiotics. The truth, however, is messier. It wasn’t until 1943 that penicillin came into widespread use. To put Fleming’s discovery in context, consider Ignaz Semmelweis, who pioneered hand washing in maternity wards (产房), significantly reducing childbed fever but receiving scorn instead of fame. That was because in the 1850s, his ideas conflicted with the popular miasma theory, which attributed disease to “bad airs”. After his death in 1865, germ theory was accepted, paving the way for Fleming’s later work. Fleming was a gifted biologist but a poor communicator. When he published his results in 1929, few took notice. In 1935, Howard Florey and Ernst Chain discovered Fleming’s paper, understood its importance, and developed methods to produce penicillin in quantity. By 1943, with World War II raging, the War Production Board enlisted 21 companies to mass-produce penicillin, saving countless lives and ushering in the new age of antibiotics. Fleming, Florey and Chain received the Nobel Prize for Medicine in 1945. Penicillin owes much of its success to government support. For many other groundbreaking innovations like the Internet and GPS, their innovators, while carving their own path, are often uncertain of where the opportunity lies until they team up with other visionaries and corporations, who might have the resources to fast-track their ideas. So, look at any significant innovation and the myth of the lone genius and the “eureka moment” breaks down. 8. What is the first paragraph mainly about? A. An account of a lab story. B. Redefinition of a traditional view. C. Correction of a popular misconception. D. An analysis of a scientific phenomenon. 9. What is the message conveyed about Fleming’s story? A. Great minds think alike. B. The early bird catches the worm. C. Luck’s got your back when it comes to success. D. Early work is a steppingstone to later breakthroughs. 10. What does the underlined part “ushering in” mean in paragraph 3? A. Delaying. B. Introducing. C. Predicting. D. Transforming. 11. Which of the following can be the best title? A. Great Innovations: Individuals Are True Heroes. B. From Failure to Success: The Story of Penicillin. C. The Lone Genius: Fleming’s Discovery of Penicillin. D. The Long Road to Penicillin: How Innovation Happens. 【答案】8. C 9. D 10. B 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要通过讲述青霉素的发现、早期未受重视、后续量产推广的过程，结合塞麦尔维斯在产房推行洗手却遭冷遇的例子，揭示重大创新并非是某个天才“灵光一闪”的产物，而是多方面因素共同作用的结果。 【8题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“Most people see innovation as a flash of brilliance and Eureka, a new world is born. When Alexander Fleming returned to his lab in 1928, he found a bacteria culture he had grown was infected by fungus (霉菌), killing any colonies it touched. Rather than simply starting over, Fleming switched his focus to the fungus. He identified the bacteria-killing substance, which he called “penicillin”, and seemingly in a single stroke, created the new field of antibiotics. The truth, however, is messier. It wasn’t until 1943 that penicillin came into widespread use. (大多数人将创新视为灵光一现的“尤里卡时刻”（即灵感突现的瞬间），仿佛一声“尤里卡”，新世界便随之诞生。1928年，亚历山大・弗莱明回到实验室时，发现自己培养的细菌培养基被霉菌污染，而霉菌所到之处，细菌菌落均被杀死。他没有简单地从头再来，而是将研究重点转向了这种霉菌。他鉴定出了这种杀菌物质，并将其命名为“青霉素”——看似一蹴而就间，他开创了抗生素这一全新领域。但事实远比这复杂。直到1943年，青霉素才得以广泛应用。)”可知，在第一段中，作者先指出大众对创新的普遍认知，随后通过弗莱明发现青霉素的例子，用“however”转折强调“事实远比这复杂”，即纠正了人们对创新过程的误解。故选C。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段“Fleming was a gifted biologist but a poor communicator. When he published his results in 1929, few took notice. In 1935, Howard Florey and Ernst Chain discovered Fleming’s paper, understood its importance, and developed methods to produce penicillin in quantity. By 1943, with World War II raging, the War Production Board enlisted 21 companies to mass-produce penicillin, saving countless lives and ushering in the new age of antibiotics. Fleming, Florey and Chain received the Nobel Prize for Medicine in 1945. (弗莱明是一位天赋异禀的生物学家，但不擅长沟通。1929年，他发表了自己的研究成果，却几乎无人关注。1935年，霍华德・弗洛里和恩斯特・钱恩发现了弗莱明的论文，意识到其重要性，并开发了批量生产青霉素的方法。到1943年，第二次世界大战正如火如荼，美国战争生产委员会召集21家公司大规模生产青霉素，拯救了无数生命，也开创了抗生素的新时代。弗莱明、弗洛里和钱恩于1945年共同获得诺贝尔医学奖。)”可知，弗莱明的成果最初无人关注，直到弗洛里和钱恩发现其论文并推动量产，最终借助政府和企业资源实现突破。由此可推测，弗莱明的初步发现、弗洛里团队的开发，均体现早期成果为后续突破铺路的逻辑。故选D。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线单词所在句“By 1943, with World War II raging, the War Production Board enlisted 21 companies to mass-produce penicillin, saving countless lives and ushering in the new age of antibiotics. (到1943年，第二次世界大战正如火如荼，美国战争生产委员会召集21家公司大规模生产青霉素，拯救了无数生命，也……抗生素的新时代。)”可知，青霉素的大规模生产拯救了生命，由此开启了抗生素的新时代。划线单词的意思和“开创、引入”相似。选项B“introducing”意为“引入”，与此相符。故选B。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章内容可知，文章通过青霉素的发现与应用过程，揭示了创新并非“灵光一现”，而是依赖前人研究积累、团队协作、资源支持等多方面因素的长期过程。选项D“The Long Road to Penicillin: How Innovation Happens. (青霉素的漫长之路：创新如何发生。)”既涵盖青霉素从发现到应用的漫长过程，又点明文章对创新本质的探讨，契合主旨。故选D。 D In his book on basketball great Bill Bradley, writer John McPhee proposes that Bradley’s greatest asset had little to do with speed, strength, or flexibility. It had to do with his eyes. The work of University of Notre Dame researcher Matthew Robison suggests that McPhee may have been onto something. In a recent study Robison documented a phenomenon in eye movement — that links a steady, focused gaze with higher levels of performance. He made the discovery thanks to the unique capabilities of his lab, which includes over a dozen advanced instruments for tracking eye movement. These devices capture images of the eyes every four milliseconds, providing 250 frames per second. This detailed look at the eyes allows Robi-son to “read” the complex language of minute eye movement. Recently, though, Robison has been most interested not in why our eyes move, but in why we might — or might want to — keep them still. He was inspired to explore the meaning of a steady gaze by the work of applied sports psychologists helping athletes achieve high levels of performance. “Sports psychologists regularly advise that if you’re shooting a free throw in basketball, pick a spot on the edge and focus on it for a few seconds. Then shoot the free throw. The advice seems sound in many cases. But the causal pathway behind this phenomenon has not been thoroughly demonstrated or explained.” Robison explains. Robison assumed that a steady gaze had to do with attention control and better performance. To test his assumption, he recruited（招募）nearly 400 participants. Robison found that across the board, those participants who kept their gaze steady in the moments just before being called upon to complete a task performed with greater speed and with greater accuracy. His work suggested another question for Robison to explore: Would it be possible to train individuals to perform better by training them in developing a steadier gaze? So Robison launched a new three-year project focused on answering it. 12. What can be inferred about McPhee’s observation of Bill Bradley? A. It lacked scientific basis at the time. B. It revolutionized basketball training. C. It matched later scientific findings. D. It contradicted traditional coaching methods. 13. What does the underlined word “minute” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Time-related. B. Extremely small. C Carefully recorded. D. Scientifically important. 14 What is the Robison’s attitude toward the sports psychology advice? A. Indifferent due to lack of theoretical support. B. Temporarily acceptable but requiring evidence. C. Supportive without reservation. D. Critical of its oversimplification. 15. Which would be the best title for the passage? A. The Evolution of Basketball Training Techniques B. Eye Tracking Technology: From Theory to Practice C. The Science Behind a Steady Gaze and Peak Performance D. Bill Bradley: A Case Study in Athletic Excellence 【答案】12. C 13. B 14. B 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍研究发现稳定专注凝视与更高水平的表现相关及研究过程。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“In his book on basketball great Bill Bradley, writer John McPhee proposes that Bradley’s greatest asset had little to do with speed, strength, or flexibility. It had to do with his eyes. The work of University of Notre Dame researcher Matthew Robison suggests that McPhee may have been onto something.(在作家约翰・麦克菲关于篮球巨星比尔・布拉德利的书中，他提出布拉德利最大的优势与速度、力量或灵活性关系不大，而与他的眼睛有关。圣母大学研究员马修・罗宾逊的研究表明，麦克菲的说法或许有几分道理。)”可知，麦克菲对比尔·布拉德利的观察与后来的科学发现相吻合。故选C项。 【13题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段中的“These devices capture images of the eyes every four milliseconds, providing 250 frames per second. This detailed look at the eyes allows Robison to “read” the complex language of minute eye movement.(这些设备每四毫秒捕捉一次眼睛图像，每秒提供250帧。这种对眼睛的细致观察使罗宾逊能够“解读”minute眼球运动的复杂语言。)”可知，设备能捕捉到非常细致的眼睛图像，因此可以解读的是“极其微小的”眼球运动，“minute”在此处意为“Extremely small”。故选B项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“The advice seems sound in many cases. But the causal pathway behind this phenomenon has not been thoroughly demonstrated or explained.(这个建议在很多情况下似乎是合理的。但这一现象背后的因果路径尚未得到彻底的证明或解释。)”可知，罗宾逊认为运动心理学的建议暂时可以接受，但需要证据支持。故选B项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第二段中的“a phenomenon in eye movement — that links a steady, focused gaze with higher levels of performance.(一种眼球运动现象——将稳定、专注的凝视与更高水平的表现联系起来。)”及下文对该现象的研究可知，文章主要围绕稳定凝视与最佳表现背后的科学原理展开，因此“稳定凝视与最佳表现背后的科学”最适合作为标题。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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Reading is a key skill that requires you to be able to identify and find proper materials, and then read them with a specific aim in mind.

Ladies and gentlemen, I firmly believe that real-life friendship is superior to online friendship. My reasons are as follows. First, real-life interactions provide genuine emotional connection through face-to-face communication, body language, and shared experiences, which online chats often lack. Second, offline friends offer immediate and practical support during both joys and hardships, something online friends cannot always provide due to physical distance. Most importantly, building trust and understanding deepens naturally through consistent real-world contact over time. Therefore, while online friendships have benefits, the depth, reliability, and richness of real-life friendship make it irreplaceably better. 【解析】 【导语】本篇书面表达属于应用文。要求考生作为辩论代表写一篇发言稿参加班级将举行的英语辩论赛，主题为“Online Friendship VS Real-Life Friendship, Which Is Better?”。 【详解】1.词汇积累 快乐：joy → happiness 由于：due to → because of 联系：contact → connection 好处：benefit → advantage 2.句式拓展 句型转换 原句：I firmly believe that real-life friendship is superior to online friendship. 拓展句：I firmly hold the belief that real-life friendship is superior to online friendship. 【点睛】【高分句型1】I firmly believe that real-life friendship is superior to online friendship.（运用了that引导宾语从句） 【高分句型2】Therefore, while online friendships have benefits, the depth, reliability, and richness of real-life friendship make it irreplaceably better.（运用了while引导的让步状语从句） 第二节(满分25分) 47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。 As the whole family watched their favorite TV show together, they heard Michael’s dad’s trademark cough. Every time he heard that sound, Michael’s heart felt heavy. He shifted uncomfortably in his seat, trying to focus on the show, but his mind continued to drift to thoughts of all the damage his dad was doing to his lungs by smoking. Michael just didn’t understand. His dad was a great dad-he spent a lot of his spare time with him playing outside and watching TV. Plus, he was really smart, so why would he be so stupid as to risk his health by smoking? What if it caused an early death? Had he ever considered how heartbroken it would make him and his mom? Michael’s mind wandered back to a conversation he had overheard between his parents. His mom had been pleading (恳求) with his dad her voice full of worry. “You need to think about your health, for Michael’s sake if not for your own,” she had said. But his dad just brushed her off, saying he was too stressed to quit. One evening, Michael approached his mom to discuss the issue. “I’ve tried to persuade him to quit,” Michael’s mom expressed with a sigh. “But he always gets annoyed whenever I bring up the subject.” She looked tired and defeated. “At least your dad is considerate (为他人着想的) with his smoking; he never does it indoors or around others. He even changes his clothes to prevent us from smelling the smoke. Despite that, it's still so hard on him, on us...” The next day at school, Michael was playing basketball with his classmate Tim on the court. “Hey, does either of your parents smoke?” he asked. “Yeah, my dad smokes, but he’s cut down in the past year,” replied Tim. “Oh, how did he do that?" Michael asked curiously. “I don’t really know what happened. I guess he just realized it was time for a change,” said Tim, as he threw the ball back to Michael. This gave Michael a ray of hope and an idea. 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。 Michael decided to take action, hoping to encourage his dad to change. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The next day, Michael found a bittersweet reply from his dad on his bed. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】续写参考： Michael decided to take action, hoping to encourage his dad to change. He started by moving his dad’s cigarettes from their usual spot and replacing them with printed statistics about the harmful effects of smoking. He also hid the cigarette lighters, thinking that even a small inconvenience might help. Moreover, he spent hours researching online, finding stories of people who had successfully quit, hoping they would inspire his dad. Finally, he wrote a heartfelt letter titled “Please Stop Smoking” and left it on his dad’s pillow. The next day, Michael found a bittersweet reply from his dad on his bed. It read, “Son, I truly appreciate your efforts. I know that smoking is bad for me, and I want to stop too, but it’s tough and painful.” Recognizing his dad’s struggle, Michael adjusted his approach by providing more support. He engaged his dad in open conversations, researched quitting methods together and attended counseling sessions. Michael’s love and understanding guided his dad through the quitting process. Over time, his dad’s interest in quitting grew, and with Michael’s continuous encouragement, he managed to reduce his cigarette consumption. Together, they celebrated each milestone, showing how love can conquer challenges. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，文章讲述迈克尔一家看电视时，他听到父亲标志性咳嗽，因担忧父亲吸烟伤肺而心情沉重，不解父亲为何不顾健康。他还想起母亲劝说父亲戒烟遭拒，后从同学蒂姆父亲成功减少吸烟中看到希望。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段内容“迈克尔决定采取行动，希望能鼓励爸爸做出改变。”可以预测续写这段主要内容：迈克尔为劝父亲戒烟，采取移烟、藏打火机、找成功案例并写书信等行动。 ②由第二段首句内容“第二天，迈克尔在自己床上发现了爸爸一封喜忧参半的回信。”可以预测续写这段主要内容：父亲给迈克尔回信，感谢其付出并坦言想戒烟却觉艰难。迈克尔调整方式，通过坦诚交流、共研方法、陪做咨询等给予支持，助父亲减少吸烟量，父子共庆每一步进步，彰显爱能战胜挑战。 2.续写线索：迈克尔移烟——藏打火机——写信——父亲回信——迈克尔调整方式——陪同父亲一起努力——用爱战胜挑战 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①开始：start/begin ②代替：replace/take the place of ③鼓舞： inspire/encourage 情绪类 ①真心感激：truly appreciate/really thankful ②痛苦的：painful/distressing/torturous 【点睛】[高分句型1] He also hid the cigarette lighters, thinking that even a small inconvenience might help. （运用了现在分词作状语和that引导的宾语从句） [高分句型2] Moreover, he spent hours researching online, finding stories of people who had successfully quit, hoping they would inspire his dad.（运用了现在分词作状语、who引导的定语从句和省略that的宾语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
