[对应学生用书P474] (限时：30分钟) Ⅰ.阅读理解 A (2024·辽宁大连模拟)We're often told that there's no age limit when it comes to pursuing our goals，but it's truly inspiring to see someone achieve them later in life—especially if they are 95 years old.Angela Alvarez is a Cuban­born singer and songwriter who，after putting aside her dream of pursuing a career in entertainment for decades，finally released her first album in 2021. Once Alvarez graduated from school，she told her father she wanted to become a professional singer.However，he prevented her from doing so.Eventually，she got married and found happiness in raising her four children，though life wasn't easy. With time，her grandson，Carlos Jos é Alvarez，grew up to be a music producer.When he found out his grandma had written over 50 songs throughout her life，he asked if she would like to record her songs.Her answer was “yes”．And that was the beginning. Alvarez's story even caught the attention of actor Andy García，who produced a documentary about this amazing woman and the recording process of her 15­song album.“She represents a generation，perhaps our greatest generation of Cubans，” said the actor. The dream reached new heights as she became nominated for a Latin Grammy.Once she took to the stage to accept her award，she gave an inspiring speech，“I want to dedicate this award to my beloved homeland，Cuba; also to those who have not achieved their dream.Although life is difficult，there is always a way out，and with faith and love they can achieve it.I promise，it's never too late.” [语篇解读]　本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了Angela Alvarez年轻的时候怀揣着做一个音乐人的梦想， 因父亲的阻拦而放弃，在95岁的时候，在自己孙子的帮助下，实现了梦想的故事。 1．What do we know about Alvarez?

Concerts are immersive (沉浸式的) social experiences in which people listen to and feel the music together through crescendos，key changes and rhythmic drops.Moreover，they are dynamic—artists can adapt their playing according to the crowd's reaction. It was this last difference that led neuroscientists, based at the Universities of Zurich and Oslo，to study the brain responses of people listening to music.In the “live” experiment，participants lay in an MRI scanner listening to the music through earphones，while a pianist was positioned outside the room.The pianist was shown the participant's real­time brain activity as a form of feedback.In the recorded condition，participants listened to pre­recorded versions of the same tunes. The scientists were interested in how live music affected the areas of the brain responsible for processing emotions，particularly the amygdala，an area deep inside the brain.The results，just published in the journal PNAS，revealed that live music had a significantly greater emotional impact.Whether the music conveyed happiness or sadness，dynamic live performances led to increased activity not only in the amygdala but also other parts of the brain's emotion processing network.The researchers also found that participants'brain activity tracked the acoustic (声学的) features of the music，like tempo and pitch，far more closely when it was played live. While the study didn't fully recreate the live concert experience，the findings suggest that artists'ability to adjust their performance in real time contributes to the emotional resonance (共鸣) of live music.Some musical acts now attempt to recreate live concerts，such as ABBA Voyage，an immersive pre­recorded VR concert，but without artists'capacity to read audience's mood and respond accordingly，it will never quite match the real thing. [语篇解读]　这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了尽管有音乐流媒体服务，人们还参加现场演出，因为他们重视现场音乐带来的情感联系，并介绍了与之有关的研究和研究发现。 5．Why do people attend live shows despite music streaming services? A．Because they prefer being with friends at a concert. B．Because they enjoy the process of finding popular music. C．Because they intend to meet their favorite musicians in person. D．Because they value the emotional connection live music brings. 解析　D　细节理解题。根据第一段“People still fill sweaty basements，muddy fields and gilded concert halls to hear their favourite musicians play.And now neuroscientists might know why—live music engages the brain's emotion centres more than its recorded counterpart.(人们仍然挤在闷热的地下室、泥泞的田野和镀金的音乐厅里听他们最喜欢的音乐家演奏。现在神经科学家可能知道了原因——现场音乐比录音音乐更能调动大脑的情绪中枢)”可知，尽管有音乐流媒体服务，人们还参加现场演出是因为他们重视现场音乐带来的情感联系。故选D。 6．The role of the pianist plays in the “live” experiment is to　　 ． A．observe the participants'brain activity as feedback B．compare the effectiveness of live performances and recorded ones C．provide live accompaniment to participants inside the MRI scanner D．demonstrate their ability to read and respond to the audience's mood 解析　C　细节理解题。根据第三段“In the ‘live’ experiment，participants lay in an MRI scanner listening to the music through earphones，while a pianist was positioned outside the room.The pianist was shown the participant's real­time brain activity as a form of feedback.In the recorded condition，participants listened to pre­recorded versions of the same tunes.”可知，钢琴家在“现场”实验中扮演的角色是为MRI扫描仪内的参与者提供现场伴奏。故选C。 7．What did the study published in PNAS find about the impact of live music on the brain? A．Live music affected only the amygdala of the brain. B．The brain responded more intensely to acoustic features of live music. C．Live music had a reduced emotional impact compared to recorded music. D．The participants'brain activity was especially sensitive to dynamic music. 解析　B　细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“The results，just published in the journal PNAS，revealed that live music had a significantly greater emotional impact.”可知，关于现场音乐对大脑的影响，发表在PNAS上的研究发现大脑对现场音乐的声学特征反应更强烈。故选B。 8．What does the author suggest by mentioning ABBA Voyage in the last paragraph? A．It fails to create a perfect performing atmosphere. B．It matches the sound quality of live performances. C．It greatly stirs up the audience's emotional response. D．It lacks artists'response based on audience's feedback. 解析　D　推理判断题。根据最后一段“Some musical acts now attempt to recreate live concerts，such as ABBA Voyage，an immersive pre­recorded VR concert，but without artists'capacity to read audience's mood and respond accordingly，it will never quite match the real thing.”可知，作者在最后一段提到ABBA Voyage意思是缺乏艺术家基于观众反馈的回应。故选D。 C (2024·云南昆明联考)In the hot summer，many people rely on ice cream to keep them going.Among the dizzying array of ice cream，there's always a place for ice cream cones.When you enjoy the ice cream cone，have you ever thought about the seemingly humble cone? The ice cream cone is never the star of the show.Its role is clear：Keep the scoop upright，don't leak and don't upstage the main player，the ice cream.But being that supporting takes work，which is why David George believes that the cone deserves more respect. George is the third­generation president of Joy Baking Group，the largest manufacturer of ice cream cones in North America.You may not know Joy by name，but you've probably tasted its cones.As the kingdom of ice cream has expanded，the cone world has only grown smaller.Joy has concerned the cone market by betting on a basic premise：When it comes to the cone，people don't want creativity.They want familiarity. Joy's flagship factory in western Pennsylvania produced 15 to 20 million cones a day during its busiest season.They include squeaky cake cones; cookie­like sugar cones; and caramel­scented waffle cones.These are cones designed to taste like childhood summers.They're as comforting as a slice of pie，as delightful as cotton candy. “The thing about ice cream is that for nearly everyone，it is so tied to nostalgia，” said Susan Sorrento，the owner of Moreno's，an ice cream shop in the Washington area.“It is what you remember about your grandma taking you out.” For many Americans，those moments are linked to Joy cones.Even if another worthy competitor arises，“It doesn't matter，” she said，“because it is competing with a memory.” [语篇解读]　本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了平淡无奇的冰淇淋筒，默默地履行着它的职责，承载着欢乐的旧时光，它应得到人们的尊重。 9．Why does George believe the cone should be respected? A．It doesn't often change tastes. B．It does important work quietly. C．It is as delightful as cotton candy. D．It has its market expanded gradually. 解析　B　细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Its role is clear：Keep the scoop upright，don't leak and don't upstage the main player，the ice cream.But being that supporting takes work，which is why David George believes that the cone deserves more respect.”可知，乔治认为冰淇淋筒应该得到尊重是因为冰淇淋筒行事低调，它悄悄地完成重要的工作。故选B。 10．Which of the following best describes Joy Baking Group? A．It pursues its business philosophy. B．It has the fourth­generation president. C．It produces 15 to 20 million cones daily. D．It is the largest cone maker in South America. 解析　A　推理判断题。根据文章第三段“Joy has cornered the cone market by betting on a basic premise：When it comes to the cone，people don't want creativity.They want familiarity.”可推知，该集团有一套自己的经营哲学。故选A。 11．What does the underlined word “nostalgia” in the last paragraph mean? A．An eagerness for freedom. B．A way of relaxation after work. C．A period of happy old times. D．An expectation for good results. 解析　C　词义猜测题。根据画线词所在句子的下一句“It is what you remember about your grandma taking you out.”可知，它能让你想起奶奶带你出去的旧时光，所以nostalgia指的是怀旧情结，故选C。 12．What does Sorrento think of the future of ice cream cones? A．Uncertain. B．Dull. C．Challenging. D．Promising. 解析　D　推理判断题。根据最后一段最后一句“Even if another worthy competitor arises，‘It doesn't matter，’ she said，‘because it is competing with a memory.’”可推知，冰淇淋筒未来一片光明，故选D。 Ⅱ.七选五 (2025·江西南昌模拟)Traditional measures of success often prioritize academic achievements and job­specific knowledge, but recent research has shown that emotional intelligence may be a better predictor of success and well­being than IQ alone. 1 Picture this：you're a leader with high EQ.Your team looks up to you because you inspire them, drive productivity and make decisions that take everyone's emotions into account.You find win­win solutions that keep the team united if conflicts arise. 2 In a world that values cooperation and innovation, emotional intelligence is a must­have skill. Consider how EQ can supercharge your career.First：self­awareness.It's like having a spotlight on your emotions, strengths and weaknesses.When you truly understand yourself, you can make better decisions and set meaningful goals. 3 It's like having empathy radar (共情雷达).When you're aware of others'emotions and perspectives, you can build better relationships, collaborate effectively, and be a better team player. 4 EQ can have a huge impact on our personal lives as well.In personal relationships, it's a key to deeper connections.By understanding others'emotions, you build strong bonds and communicate effectively.With EQ, you engage in more self­reflection, continuous learning, and the adaptability to grow as an individual. It's time to shift our perspective and embrace emotional intelligence as a critical component of success. 5 Go ahead and release our full potential. A．Emotional intelligence helps cope with stress. B．Social awareness is another crucial aspect of EQ. C．Emotional intelligence goes beyond the office walls. D．By understanding others'emotions, you can build strong bonds. E．It is now recognized as a vital factor in personal and professional growth. F．You create a positive work environment where ideas flow freely if changes take place. G．By recognizing its importance, we can make wiser decisions and lead more satisfying lives. [语篇解读]　本文是一篇说明文。本文主要介绍了情商也许更能预测成功和幸福感。传统的成功衡量标准通常优先考虑学业成就和特定工作的知识，但最近的研究表明，情商可能比单独的智商更能预测成功和幸福感。 1．解析　E　上文谈到情商可能比单独的智商更能预测成功和幸福感，此处也应是对情商的肯定，故E项“它现在被认为是个人和职业发展的重要因素”符合语境，其中的It指的是空前的“emotional intelligence”。故选E。 2．解析　F　空前描述了假设你是高情商领导者的情况，此处也应讲在这种情况下你高情商的表现力，故F项“你创造了一个积极的工作环境，如果发生变化，想法可以自由流动”符合语境。故选F。 3．解析　B　上文谈到情商能增强你的职业生涯，首先谈到“自我意识”，故可推测此处可能会涉及第二个方面，再结合空后的“这就像有一个共情雷达。当你了解他人的情绪和观点时，你可以建立更好的关系、有效协作并且成为一个更好的团队队员”可知，另一个方面应是social awareness“社会意识”，故选B。故选B。 4．解析　C　段落主旨句。本段讲到，情商对我们的个人生活也有很大影响。在个人关系中，情商对更深入的联系很重要。通过了解他人的情绪，你可以建立牢固的联系并有效沟通。故可知C项“情商超越了办公室的围墙”概括了本段内容。故选C。 5．解析　G　本段谈到是时候改变我们的观点，将情商作为成功的关键组成部分，故G项“通过意识到它的重要性，我们可以做出更明智的决定并过上更令人满意的生活”符合语境，承接上文，说明这样做会带来的积极结果。故选G。 写作规范练(二) [对应学生用书P477] 第一节(满分15分) (2025·河南郑州模拟)假定你是李华，为丰富同学们的课外活动，上周你校举行了爱国歌咏比赛(patriotic song singing contest)。请给你的笔友 Tom写一封信，分享其中的故事。内容包括： 1．比赛经过； 2．你的感悟。 注意：1.写作词数应为80左右； 2．称呼与结尾已给出，请按如下格式作答。 Dear Tom， ______________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________ Yours sincerely， Li Hua One possible version： Dear Tom， Last week，our school organized a patriotic song singing contest to enrich our extracurricular activities，and it was truly an inspiring event!

Yours sincerely， Li Hua 第二节(满分25分) (2025·八省联考)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。 I was in Philadelphia for a conference when I saw an advertisement in the hotel.A nearby theater was showing a documentary (纪录片) about several local animal shelters that were helping to save abandoned dogs across the country.I love animals，and I felt an urge to go to this fundraising event.However，none of my co­workers would go with me，and I was worried about walking on the street alone at night. I resigned myself to spending the evening in my hotel room，but as soon as I got back to my room I felt restless and bored.The theater where the event was taking place was only about five blocks from the hotel，and the area around the hotel didn't seem particularly dangerous.So，I decided to brave it.I gathered up my wallet and room key and set off. It was already getting dark and the streets were nearly deserted.I managed to find the street the theater was on，but when I turned the corner，I stopped in shock.In front of the theater were a group of bikers—very big，tough­looking bikers. I've known lots of motorcycle enthusiasts and most are nice people.However，in this case，I was a woman all alone，in a strange neighborhood，at night，and there were twenty or so very large men—all wearing insignia (徽章) that indicated they were in some sort of club—standing before me.Warning bells began to sound in my head，and my heart was pounding.Was I at the right theater? Had I misread the date of the event? A sign outside the theater told me that I was in the right place on the right evening.Nevertheless，I wondered if I should rush back to my hotel instead of walking through that crowd of bikers.I finally decided that I would be safer inside the theater.Hopefully，the bikers would have gone away by the time the film was over. 注意：1.续写词数应为150个左右； 2．请按如下格式作答。 I hurried into the theater，only to find there were even more bikers inside.　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 ______________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________ When the film began，I realized that the bikers were an animal rescue group.　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 ______________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________ [导语]　本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者在费城参加会议期间，看到酒店附近剧院有一场关于动物救助站救助流浪狗的纪录片放映及筹款活动，作者因喜爱动物想去参加，却在剧院外看到一群看起来凶巴巴的摩托骑手，犹豫后还是进入剧院，希望电影结束时骑手们已离开。 [详解]　 1．段落续写： ①由第一段首句“我匆匆走进剧院，却发现里面有更多的骑手。” 可知，第一段可描写作者进入剧院后，面对更多骑手时内心的忐忑、不安，以及所采取的试图让自己安全、不引人注意的行动，比如找角落座位、紧紧抓包、频繁观察骑手等，展现当时的紧张氛围。 ②由第二段首句“电影开始时，我意识到这些骑手是一个动物救援组织。” 可知，第二段可描写电影播放过程中作者看到骑手们被纪录片触动的表现，以及中场休息时骑手们与作者友好互动的情景，体现出骑手们外表与内心的反差，突显温暖主题。 2．续写线索：进入剧院，遇到更多骑手—内心恐惧找座躲避—电影开场，知晓骑手身份—观影中骑手真情流露—中场休息友好交流。 One possible version： I hurried into the theater，only to find there were even more bikers inside. They were chatting loudly and seemed to fill every corner of the place.My heart sank even further.I quickly found an empty seat in the back row，trying to make myself as inconspicuous as possible.I clutched my bag tightly，constantly glancing around，praying that nothing bad would happen.Every now and then，I peeked at the bikers，wondering what they were doing here.Were they going to cause trouble? The tension in the air was palpable，and I regretted my decision to come alone. When the film began，I realized that the bikers were an animal rescue group. They had come to support the fundraiser for the local animal shelters.As the documentary unfolded，showing the plight of the abandoned dogs，I saw many of the bikers wiping away tears.They were as moved as I was by the heartwarming and heartbreaking stories.During the intermission，some of them even came over to me，smiling kindly and asking if I was enjoying the film.Their tough exteriors hid big，soft hearts.I felt ashamed of my initial fear and was truly grateful that I had decided to come.We spent the rest of the evening sharing our love for animals and discussing ways to help. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
