(该公园毗邻一家电影制片厂，游客可以参观制片厂，在那里可以看到《世界大战》《金刚》等多部著名电影的拍摄场景。)”可知，游客在好莱坞环球影城可以参观制片厂。故选B项。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据Disneyland Park部分“The amusement facilities are rich and diverse, suitable for the whole family.(游乐设施丰富多样，适合全家人游玩。)”以及Lego land California部分 “It is built with 60 million Lego bricks and suitable for the whole family.(它由 6000 万块乐高积木建成，适合全家人游玩。)”可知，迪士尼乐园和加州乐高乐园的共同点是适合全家游玩。故选C项。 B The path to success isn’t always clear-cut. Julia Green knows this well. Just as she graduated from college, a financial crisis swept the country, making it hard to get a job in journalism. Despite her growing worries, she didn’t give up on her dream; instead, she tried a global volunteer program for her self-growth. A year later, Green began taking random writing jobs to make ends meet, while dreaming of a day when she could write freely and be paid for it. Afterwards, she applied for the fully funded Master of Fine Arts program, and was accepted to study fiction writing at the University of Michigan. Though the program didn’t end up opening many doors for her, she was paid to write and take classes. Green has never shied away from challenging topics. Marriage, healthcare, employment and more have featured noticeably in her writing, and she is especially impressive when it comes to music criticism. “I’ve intentionally tried to keep my lane (道路) very wide,” she said. “It was what I had to do in the beginning. I wanted to become a well-rounded writer.” She penned articles for a variety of websites. Slowly, she began to build a reputation for fearlessness. “I’ve been writing since I was 22. This craft requires that you have a tough skin.” said Green, when asked about her writing journey. “As a writer, you are not well served by caring what other people think about you. You have to be emotionally prepared to face rejection.” In the past decade, Green, lacking many examples to model after, has achieved remarkable success through great effort. She landed regular writing positions, had worked in respected journals, made the Forbes 30 Under 30 list, and wrote a world-class bestseller. By any young journalist’s definition, Green had arrived. 4. What do we know about Green from the first two paragraphs? A. A financial crisis ruined her dream. B. Further education made her optimistic. C. Volunteering brought her new jobs. D. Her passion for writing did not change. 5. Why did Green pursue a diverse path? A. To show off her creativity. B. To please critical readers. C. To develop her adaptability. D. To build her a reputation. 6. What matters most to her career according to Green? A Handling criticism bravely. B. Maintaining youthful skin. C. Gaining public recognition. D. Writing about her journey. 7. Which words can best describe Green? A. Independent and considerate. B. Generous and creative. C. Hard-working and determined. D. Ambitious and modest. 【答案】4. D 5. C 6. A 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了Julia Green历经困难坚持写作并取得成功的故事。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Just as she graduated from college, a financial crisis swept the country, making it hard to get a job in journalism. Despite her growing worries, she didn’t give up on her dream; instead, she tried a global volunteer program for her self-growth.(就在她大学毕业的时候，一场金融危机席卷了这个国家，使得她很难在新闻行业找到一份工作。尽管她的担忧与日俱增，但她并没有放弃自己的梦想；相反，她参加了一个全球性的志愿者项目来实现自我成长)”以及第二段“A year later, Green began taking random writing jobs to make ends meet, while dreaming of a day when she could write freely and be paid for it.(一年后，格林开始从事一些零散的写作工作来维持生计，与此同时，她梦想着有一天能够自由地写作并以此获得报酬)”可知，尽管面临金融危机找工作困难，以及做随机写作工作来维持生计，但格林对写作的梦想和热情从未改变。故选D。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段““I’ve intentionally tried to keep my lane (道路) very wide,” she said. “It was what I had to do in the beginning. I wanted to become a well-rounded writer.”(“我有意地努力让自己的发展道路尽可能宽广，” 她说，“这是我一开始就必须要做的事情。我想成为一名全面的作家。”)” 可推知，格林追求多样化的写作道路是为了让自己成为一个全面的作家，也就是培养自己的适应能力，能够应对不同类型的写作任务。故选C。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段““I’ve been writing since I was 22. This craft requires that you have a tough skin.” said Green, when asked about her writing journey. “As a writer, you are not well served by caring what other people think about you. You have to be emotionally prepared to face rejection.”(当被问及自己的写作历程时，格林说：“我从22岁起就一直在写作。从事写作这一行需要你有厚脸皮。作为一名作家，太在意别人对你的看法对你没有好处。你必须在情感上做好面对被拒绝的准备。”)”可知，对于她的写作事业来说，最重要的是要勇敢地面对批评和拒绝，要有厚脸皮，不要在意别人的看法。故选A。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是第一段“The path to success isn’t always clear-cut. Julia Green knows this well. Just as she graduated from college, a financial crisis swept the country, making it hard to get a job in journalism. Despite her growing worries, she didn’t give up on her dream; instead, she tried a global volunteer program for her self-growth.(成功之路并非总是清晰明确的。朱莉娅・格林对此深有体会。就在她大学毕业之时，一场金融危机席卷了整个国家，这使得她很难在新闻行业找到一份工作。尽管她的担忧日益加剧，但她并没有放弃自己的梦想；相反，她参加了一个全球性的志愿者项目来实现自我成长)”可知，格林在就业困难时没放弃梦想，通过不断努力，找写作相关工作，申请深造，尝试不同写作题材，最终取得成功，说明她努力且坚定。故选C。 C Sugar does fire up dopamine (多巴胺) and light up your brain’s pleasure systems, but too much daily candy consumption may be as dangerous as a drug problem in humans. Our bodies need energy to function, so it’s natural that our body would desire it in sugar form, says Vera Tarman, MD. Nutritious fruits and vegetables contain sugar, but this small amount is totally healthy. The problem is, processed foods contain concentrated amounts of that natural sweetener. “You’ re looking at something that has a high amount of a substance that will overpower what we normally should eat,” says Dr. Tarman. “It becomes more than pleasurable — it becomes addictive.” It’ s like how South Americans chewed coca plant leaves for centuries, but the plant wasn’t a problem until its concentrated version, cocaine, hit the market, she says. “When your sweet tooth goes from a desire to an obsession (痴迷), you might be hooked on sugar,” says Dr. Tarman. “The signs are similar to a drug addiction,” she says. “Thinking about food more than anything else, feeling unable to stop even when you’ re stuffed, or hiding food so no-one knows you have it.” Sugar can also become a problem when you’re just eating it out of habit, says registered nutritionist Samasa Melton. “People don’t feel like they’ ve finished eating until they’ ve had a dessert.” All that sugar can cause major health problems, like heart problems, headaches, bloating (胀气) and even energy crashes. Cutting added sugar might sound impossible and, quite frankly, painful, but after a few weeks, your taste will adjust, and the sweet things you love now won’t be as tasty. “If you don’t have apple juice, the apple tastes great,” Melton says. “Freedom tastes great — freedom from obsession.” 8. Why does Dr. Tarman mention “coca plant leaves” in paragraph 2? A. To prove natural food is healthier. B. To explain what concentrated sugar is. C. To illustrate too much sugar is a problem. D. To introduce a tradition in South America. 9. What does the phrase“be hooked on” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Be addicted to. B. Be free from. C. Be lacking in. D. Be focused on. 10. Which of the following will Melton agree with? A. Sweetener should be forbidden. B. Sugar addiction can be corrected. C. Sugar-free diet needs promoting. D. A meal without dessert is incomplete. 11. What can be the best title for the text? A. Sugar: A New Drug B. Sugar: Light You up C. Sugar: A Health Killer D. Sugar: Less Is Better 【答案】8. C 9. A 10. B 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲的是过量摄入糖分可能像药物成瘾一样对人体有害。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“The problem is, processed foods contain concentrated amounts of that natural sweetener. “You’re looking at something that has a high amount of a substance that will overpower what we normally should eat,” says Dr. Tarman. “It becomes more than pleasurable—— it becomes addictive.” (问题是，加工食品中含有大量的天然甜味剂。Dr. Tarman说：“你看到的是一种含有大量物质的东西，这种物质会超过我们平时应该吃的东西。它不仅会让人愉快，还会让人上瘾。”)”可知，Dr. Tarman在第二段提到“古柯植物叶子”的目的是说明过多的糖是一个问题。故选C。 【9题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段“When your sweet tooth goes from a desire to an obsession(当你对甜食的渴望变成了痴迷)”和“The signs are similar to a drug addiction(这些迹象与吸毒成瘾相似)”可知，划线词所在句子表示“当你对甜食的喜爱从一种渴望变成一种痴迷时，你可能对糖上瘾了”，划线短语be hooked on的意思是“对……上瘾”，和be addicted to意思相近。故选A。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Cutting added sugar might sound impossible and, quite frankly, painful, but after a few weeks, your taste will adjust, and the sweet things you love now won’t be as tasty.(戒掉添加糖听起来似乎不太可能，坦率地说，很痛苦，但几周后，你的味蕾会调整，你喜欢的甜食现在就不会那么好吃了。)”可知，Melton会同意的是糖瘾是可以纠正的。故选B。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段“Sugar does fire up dopamine (多巴胺) and light up your brain’s pleasure systems, but too much daily candy consumption may be as dangerous as a drug problem in humans.(糖确实会激发多巴胺，激活大脑的愉悦系统，但对人类来说，每天吃太多糖可能和吸毒一样危险。)”可知，本文主要讲的是过量摄入糖分可能像药物成瘾一样对人体有害，因此最好的题目是D选项“Sugar: Less Is Better.(糖：越少越好)”。故选D。 D A newly-developed Android phone app is able to remotely estimate pressure in a person’s arteries (动脉) as there heart squeezes, providing potentially life-saving details on individual health without the need for specialized equipment. Rather than having to take a trip to the doctor or use a dedicated device, individuals might one day be able to make use of the phone in their pocket, making the innovation particularly important in underserved populations where access to medical care is limited. Developed by researchers from the University of Pittsburgh, the app works by taking a variety of readings from the accelerometer, camera, and touch sensors built into modern smartphones. What makes the app smart is the way it gets users to change the position of their hands to change blood flow, and apply a number of instructed touches to the phone screen to get the right pulse pressure readings.“Because of gravity, there’s a pressure change in your thumb when you raise your hands up above your heart, and using the phone’s accelerometer, you’re able to convert that into the relative change in pressure,” says biomedical engineer Vishaal Dhamotharan from the University of Pittsburgh. In tests on 24 people and cross-referencing with a larger database, the app method detected pulse pressure to a reasonably accurate level, within around 8 mm HG. As development continues, the app accuracy level will most likely improve on that even further. The researchers admit they’ll need to work on “changing the mindset” around using pulse pressure as a blood pressure indicator — but it’s the best solution we’ve seen yet for taking this crucial reading using a normal smartphone. “Development of a portable blood pressure measurement device that does not require any external calibration (外部校准) is unrealistic — such a device currently does not exist,” says biomedical engineer Sanjeev Shroff, from the University of Pittsburgh. “The research work reported in this publication is an important step in the right direction.” 12. Why is the newly-developed phone app particularly important? A. It’s much easier to access. B. It’s money-saving. C. It’s a specialized facility. D. It’s more accurate. 13. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about the app? A. The special function of it. B. The working principle of it. C. The purpose of developing it. D. The inspiration for developing it. 14. What can we infer about the future of the app in smartphones? A. It will have a bright prospect. B. It will come into the market soon. C. It will be built in every smartphone. D. It will replace the traditional equipment. 15. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text? A. To test an app. B. To improve an app. C. To advertise an app. D. To introduce an app. 【答案】12. A 13. B 14. A 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲的是一款新开发的安卓手机应用程序能够通过智能手机远程估算个人动脉在心脏挤压时的压力，从而提供可能挽救生命的个人健康信息，而无需使用专用设备。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Rather than having to take a trip to the doctor or use a dedicated device, individuals might one day be able to make use of the phone in their pocket, making the innovation particularly important in underserved populations where access to medical care is limited.(人们也许有一天就能使用口袋里的手机，而不必跑一趟去看医生或使用专用设备，这使得这项创新在医疗服务匮乏、医疗服务有限的人群中尤为重要)”可知，新开发的手机应用程序特别重要是因为它更容易使用，故选A。 【13题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段“Developed by researchers from the University of Pittsburgh, the app works by taking a variety of readings from the accelerometer, camera, and touch sensors built into modern smartphones. What makes the app smart is the way it gets users to change the position of their hands to change blood flow, and apply a number of instructed touches to the phone screen to get the right pulse pressure readings.(这款应用由Pittsburgh大学的研究人员开发，通过从现代智能手机内置的加速度计、摄像头和触摸传感器中获取各种读数来工作。这款应用的智能之处在于，它可以让用户改变双手的位置来改变血液流动，并在手机屏幕上进行一些指示触摸，以获得正确的脉搏压力读数)”可知，第三段主要讲的是这款应用程序的工作原理。故选B。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“The researchers admit they’ll need to work on “changing the mindset” around using pulse pressure as a blood pressure indicator — but it’s the best solution we’ve seen yet for taking this crucial reading using a normal smartphone. (研究人员承认，他们需要努力“改变思维模式”，将脉压作为血压指标，但这是我们所见过的使用普通智能手机测量这一关键读数的最佳解决方案)”及“The research work reported in this publication is an important step in the right direction.(这份报告中的研究工作是朝着正确方向迈出的重要一步)”可知，这款应用程序有光明的前景。故选A。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是第一段“A newly-developed Android phone app is able to remotely estimate pressure in a person’s arteries (动脉) as there heart squeezes, providing potentially life-saving details on individual health without the need for specialized equipment.(一款新开发的安卓手机应用程序可以在心脏挤压时远程估计一个人的动脉压力，在不需要专门设备的情况下，提供可能挽救生命的个人健康细节)”可知，本文主要讲的是一款新开发的安卓手机应用程序，它能够通过智能手机远程估算个人动脉在心脏挤压时的压力，从而提供可能挽救生命的个人健康信息，而无需使用专用设备，因此本文作者写这篇文章的目的是介绍一个应用程序。故选D。 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。 The benefits of positive emotions never stop after a few minutes of good feelings go back to normal. ______16______ It will serve to build skills and develop resources for use later in life. Let’s consider a real world example. A child who runs around outside, swinging on branches and playing with friends, develops the ability to move athletically (physical skills), the ability to play with others and communicate with a team (social skills), and the ability to explore and examine the world around them (creative skills). _______17_______ These skills last much longer than the emotions that initiated them. Years later, that foundation of athletic movement might develop into a scholarship as a college athlete or the communication skills may turn into a job offer as a business manager. The happiness that promoted the exploration and creation of new skills has long since ended. ______18______ Researchers refer to this as the “broaden and build” theory because positive emotions broaden your sense of possibilities and open your mind, which in turn allows you to build new skills and resources that can provide value in other areas of your life. ______19______ Why? Because building skills for future use is irrelevant when there is immediate threat or danger (like the tiger on the path). All of this research boils down to the fact that positive thinking is so useful for developing valuable skills and appreciating the Big Picture of life. But how can you get yourself to be positive in your life? ______20______ You probably know what things work well for you. Maybe it’s playing the guitar. Maybe it’s spending time with a certain person. A. Negative emotions do the opposite. B. However, the skills themselves live on. C. But many of us look at things negatively. D. The biggest benefit is an improved ability. E. That is why the “broaden and build” theory is valuable. F. In this way, positive emotions help to build valuable skills. G. Anything arousing feelings of joy, contentment, and love will do the trick. 【答案】16. D 17. F 18. B 19. A 20. G 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了积极情绪对身心所带来的好处，并呼吁人们在制定日常生活计划时，应该考虑一下放松的时间。 【16题详解】 上文“The benefits of positive emotions never stop after a few minutes of good feelings go back to normal.(在几分钟的良好情绪恢复正常后，积极情绪的好处永远不会停止)”说明积极情绪会有持久的好处，以及下文“It will serve to build skills and develop resources for use later in life.(它将有助于培养技能和开发资源，供日后使用)”说明积极情绪可以有助于培养技能，D项“最大的好处是提高了能力”承接上文，并引出下文内容，符合题意。故选D。 【17题详解】 上文“A child who runs around outside, swinging on branches and playing with friends, develops the ability to move athletically (physical skills), the ability to play with others and communicate with a team (social skills), and the ability to explore and examine the world around them (creative skills).(孩子在外面跑来跑去，在树枝上荡来荡去，和朋友一起玩，培养运动能力（身体技能），与他人玩耍和与团队沟通的能力（社交技能），以及探索和审视周围世界的能力（创造性技能）)”说明孩子在外面玩可以培养各种不同的能力和有价值的技能，F项中skills是关键词，F项“通过这种方式，积极的情绪有助于培养有价值的技能。”承接上文，符合题意。故选F。 【18题详解】 上文“The happiness that promoted the exploration and creation of new skills has long since ended.(促进新技能探索和创造的快乐早已结束)”说明促进技能的积极情绪没有了，B项“然而，这些技能本身仍然存在。”说明技能仍然存在，与上文形成转折关系，符合本段主旨“These skills last much longer than the emotions that initiated them.(这些技能比引发它们的情绪持续的时间长得多)”题意。故选B。 【19题详解】 上文“Researchers refer to this as the “broaden and build” theory because positive emotions broaden your sense of possibilities and open your mind, which in turn allows you to build new skills and resources that can provide value in other areas of your life.(研究人员称之为“拓宽和构建”理论，因为积极的情绪拓宽了你对可能性的感知，打开了你的思维，这反过来又让你能够培养新的技能和资源，为你生活的其他领域提供价值)”以及下文“Because building skills for future use is irrelevant when there is immediate threat or danger (like the tiger on the path). (因为当存在直接威胁或危险（比如路上的老虎）时，培养未来使用的技能是无关紧要的)”说明积极情绪与消极情绪形成对比，消极情绪的作用是相反的，A项“消极情绪的作用恰恰相反。”承上启下，符合题意。故选A。 【20题详解】 上文“But how can you get yourself to be positive in your life?(但是你怎样才能让自己在生活中变得积极呢？)”提出问题，G项“任何唤起快乐、满足和爱感觉都会奏效。”说明让自己在生活中变得积极的方法，回答上文的问题，符合题意。故选G。 第三部分 语言运用 (共两节，满分30分) 第一节 (共15 小题;每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 I had just graduated from college.

As children of the lab scientists, Mary and Tom often observed the emperor penguins that were studied to understand how they adapted to extreme temperatures —insights that could aid human survival. “We’re thirteen, Tom. It’s time to grow up and stop playing with the lab penguins,” said Mary as she started cleaning. “They’re research animals, not pets.” “But the birds listen to me.” insisted Tom, his breath forming a cloud in the freezing air. “You’re just trying to be a penguin whisperer again,” Mary replied, shaking her head with a gentle smile. The penguins seemed playful as they walked, dove, swam and chased their live fish for sport before eating. Suddenly , an alarm rang out and red lights flashed , signaling a problem. The kids rushed over to look into it. “It’s colder than before —there’s ice forming on the water,” noted Tom. Though always cold, Mary had never seen ice here before. She checked the habitat monitor and found that the temperature had gone down a lot. “The heater must be broken!” Mary quickly sent a message to their parents’ research team, who were conducting outdoor studies. With the adults away, the kids would have to deal with the freezing conditions until help arrived. Time dragged as Mary and Tom anxiously waited. The increasing cold caused them to shake. “I wonder what emperor penguins do in extreme cold, since they stay in the Pole all winter instead of going somewhere warmer,” asked Mary. “They huddle (挤作一团), ” Tom answered. “They huddle together tightly so that the birds in the middle will be warm enough.” “What about the ones on the edge?” Mary asked. “They push their way towards the center, and then move back out to the edge, and struggle back again. Scientists in the early 21st century recorded it.” He replied as he stared at the large crowd of the penguins in the lab. 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。 ”I have an idea to stay warm1" Tom shouted excitedly. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Two and a half hours later , the parents returned with help. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】“I have an idea to stay warm!” Tom shouted excitedly. Spreading his arms, he suggested joining the penguin huddles. Worried that the penguins wouldn’t let them, Mary hesitated but was soon persuaded by Tom’s assuring grin. He slowly approached the crowded penguins, crouching down. Gently stroking them with care, he whispered softly. Though startled at first, the penguins recognized Tom and let him into their group. Mary quickly followed. The children squeezed into the huddle’s edge with the penguins. Just as the birds did, they moved toward the middle and back out as the group shifted. Two and a half hours later, the parents returned with help. Rushing in calling for the kids, they were surprised. The children were safely surrounded by Emperors in a large bundle. When asked how they stayed warm, the kids looked at each other proudly. “We used what the Emperor Penguins do,” they told their parents. Mary patted Tom’s shoulder with admiration, calling him a penguin whisperer. With a big smile, Tom gave credit to the penguins who taught them a lot. Their teamwork had seen them through the difficult cold with the penguins’ aid. 【解析】 【导语】本文以动物为线索展开，讲述了一个关于爱护动物以及通过学习帝企鹅的保暖方式度过严寒的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我有一个保暖的主意!”Tom兴奋地喊道。”以及第二段首句内容“两个半小时后，父母带着救援人员回来了。”可知，第一段可描写Tom想到可以向帝企鹅学习度过严寒。 ②由第二段首句内容“两个半小时后，父母带着救援人员回来了。”可知，第二段可描写父母惊讶地发现孩子们和帝企鹅团在一起从而保持温暖活了下来。 2.续写线索：Tom和Mary一起在南极企鹅研究实验室观察帝企鹅——他们从小就研究帝企鹅，非常熟悉这些动物——突然Mary发现实验室的加热器坏了——Mary向父母求救，但是父母在户外进行研究——实验室越来越冷，孩子们开始想办法保暖——Tom突然想起帝企鹅在严寒中是如何保暖的——于是，两个孩子加入了实验室的企鹅群，和企鹅们团在了一起——父母回来后，惊讶地发现帝企鹅正围着孩子们，孩子也安然无恙 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①建议：suggest/advise ②靠近：approach/come close to ③称赞：give credit to/praise 情绪类 ①担忧的：worried/concerned/anxious ②惊讶的：surprised/amazed/astonished 【点睛】【高分句型1】When asked how they stayed warm, the kids looked at each other proudly.（运用了how引导的宾语从句） 【高分句型2】With a big smile, Tom gave credit to the penguins who taught them a lot.（运用了who引导的定语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 三明一中 2025-2026学年高三开学考 英语学科试卷 本试卷共12页，满分150分，考试用时120分钟。 注意事项： 1、答题前，考生务必用黑色字迹钢笔或签字笔将自己的姓名、准考证号和座位号填写在答题卡上，将条形码横贴在答题卡右上角“条形码粘贴处”。 2、作答选择题时，每小题选出答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目选项的答案信息点涂黑;写在试题卷、草稿纸和答题卡上的非答题区域均无效。 3、非选择题必须用黑色字迹钢笔或签字笔作答，答案必须写在答题卡各题目指定区域内相应位置上;如需改动，先划掉原来的答案，然后再写上新的答案;不准使用铅笔和涂改液，不按以上要求作答的答案无效。 4、考生必须保持答题卡的整洁;考试结束后，将答题卡交回。 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.

Just as she graduated from college, a financial crisis swept the country, making it hard to get a job in journalism. Despite her growing worries, she didn’t give up on her dream; instead, she tried a global volunteer program for her self-growth. A year later, Green began taking random writing jobs to make ends meet, while dreaming of a day when she could write freely and be paid for it. Afterwards, she applied for the fully funded Master of Fine Arts program, and was accepted to study fiction writing at the University of Michigan. Though the program didn’t end up opening many doors for her, she was paid to write and take classes. Green has never shied away from challenging topics. Marriage, healthcare, employment and more have featured noticeably in her writing, and she is especially impressive when it comes to music criticism. “I’ve intentionally tried to keep my lane (道路) very wide,” she said. “It was what I had to do in the beginning. I wanted to become a well-rounded writer.” She penned articles for a variety of websites. Slowly, she began to build a reputation for fearlessness. “I’ve been writing since I was 22. This craft requires that you have a tough skin.” said Green, when asked about her writing journey. “As a writer, you are not well served by caring what other people think about you. You have to be emotionally prepared to face rejection.” In the past decade, Green, lacking many examples to model after, has achieved remarkable success through great effort. She landed regular writing positions, had worked in respected journals, made the Forbes 30 Under 30 list, and wrote a world-class bestseller. By any young journalist’s definition, Green had arrived. 4. What do we know about Green from the first two paragraphs? A. A financial crisis ruined her dream. B. Further education made her optimistic. C. Volunteering brought her new jobs. D. Her passion for writing did not change. 5. Why did Green pursue a diverse path? A. To show off her creativity. B. To please critical readers. C. To develop her adaptability. D. To build her a reputation. 6. What matters most to her career according to Green? A. Handling criticism bravely. B. Maintaining youthful skin. C. Gaining public recognition. D. Writing about her journey. 7. Which words can best describe Green? A. Independent and considerate. B. Generous and creative. C. Hard-working and determined. D. Ambitious and modest. C Sugar does fire up dopamine (多巴胺) and light up your brain’s pleasure systems, but too much daily candy consumption may be as dangerous as a drug problem in humans. Our bodies need energy to function, so it’s natural that our body would desire it in sugar form, says Vera Tarman, MD. Nutritious fruits and vegetables contain sugar, but this small amount is totally healthy. The problem is, processed foods contain concentrated amounts of that natural sweetener. “You’ re looking at something that has a high amount of a substance that will overpower what we normally should eat,” says Dr. Tarman. “It becomes more than pleasurable — it becomes addictive.” It’ s like how South Americans chewed coca plant leaves for centuries, but the plant wasn’t a problem until its concentrated version, cocaine, hit the market, she says. “When your sweet tooth goes from a desire to an obsession (痴迷), you might be hooked on sugar,” says Dr. Tarman. “The signs are similar to a drug addiction,” she says. “Thinking about food more than anything else, feeling unable to stop even when you’ re stuffed, or hiding food so no-one knows you have it.” Sugar can also become a problem when you’re just eating it out of habit, says registered nutritionist Samasa Melton. “People don’t feel like they’ ve finished eating until they’ ve had a dessert.” All that sugar can cause major health problems, like heart problems, headaches, bloating (胀气) and even energy crashes. Cutting added sugar might sound impossible and, quite frankly, painful, but after a few weeks, your taste will adjust, and the sweet things you love now won’t be as tasty. “If you don’t have apple juice, the apple tastes great,” Melton says. “Freedom tastes great — freedom from obsession.” 8. Why does Dr. Tarman mention “coca plant leaves” in paragraph 2? A. To prove natural food is healthier. B. To explain what concentrated sugar is. C. To illustrate too much sugar is a problem. D. To introduce a tradition in South America. 9. What does the phrase“be hooked on” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Be addicted to. B. Be free from. C. Be lacking in. D. Be focused on. 10. Which of the following will Melton agree with? A. Sweetener should be forbidden. B. Sugar addiction can be corrected. C. Sugar-free diet needs promoting. D. A meal without dessert is incomplete. 11. What can be the best title for the text? A. Sugar: A New Drug B. Sugar: Light You up C. Sugar: A Health Killer D. Sugar: Less Is Better D A newly-developed Android phone app is able to remotely estimate pressure in a person’s arteries (动脉) as there heart squeezes, providing potentially life-saving details on individual health without the need for specialized equipment. Rather than having to take a trip to the doctor or use a dedicated device, individuals might one day be able to make use of the phone in their pocket, making the innovation particularly important in underserved populations where access to medical care is limited. Developed by researchers from the University of Pittsburgh, the app works by taking a variety of readings from the accelerometer, camera, and touch sensors built into modern smartphones. What makes the app smart is the way it gets users to change the position of their hands to change blood flow, and apply a number of instructed touches to the phone screen to get the right pulse pressure readings.“Because of gravity, there’s a pressure change in your thumb when you raise your hands up above your heart, and using the phone’s accelerometer, you’re able to convert that into the relative change in pressure,” says biomedical engineer Vishaal Dhamotharan from the University of Pittsburgh. In tests on 24 people and cross-referencing with a larger database, the app method detected pulse pressure to a reasonably accurate level, within around 8 mm HG. As development continues, the app accuracy level will most likely improve on that even further. The researchers admit they’ll need to work on “changing the mindset” around using pulse pressure as a blood pressure indicator — but it’s the best solution we’ve seen yet for taking this crucial reading using a normal smartphone. “Development of a portable blood pressure measurement device that does not require any external calibration (外部校准) is unrealistic — such a device currently does not exist,” says biomedical engineer Sanjeev Shroff, from the University of Pittsburgh. “The research work reported in this publication is an important step in the right direction.” 12. Why is the newly-developed phone app particularly important? A. It’s much easier to access. B. It’s money-saving. C. It’s a specialized facility. D. It’s more accurate. 13.

Let’s consider a real world example. A child who runs around outside, swinging on branches and playing with friends, develops the ability to move athletically (physical skills), the ability to play with others and communicate with a team (social skills), and the ability to explore and examine the world around them (creative skills). _______17_______ These skills last much longer than the emotions that initiated them. Years later, that foundation of athletic movement might develop into a scholarship as a college athlete or the communication skills may turn into a job offer as a business manager. The happiness that promoted the exploration and creation of new skills has long since ended. ______18______ Researchers refer to this as the “broaden and build” theory because positive emotions broaden your sense of possibilities and open your mind, which in turn allows you to build new skills and resources that can provide value in other areas of your life. ______19______ Why? Because building skills for future use is irrelevant when there is immediate threat or danger (like the tiger on the path). All of this research boils down to the fact that positive thinking is so useful for developing valuable skills and appreciating the Big Picture of life. But how can you get yourself to be positive in your life? ______20______ You probably know what things work well for you. Maybe it’s playing the guitar. Maybe it’s spending time with a certain person. A. Negative emotions do the opposite. B. However, the skills themselves live on. C. But many of us look at things negatively. D. The biggest benefit is an improved ability. E. That is why the “broaden and build” theory is valuable. F. In this way positive emotions help to build valuable skills. G. Anything arousing feelings of joy, contentment, and love will do the trick. 第三部分 语言运用 (共两节，满分30分) 第一节 (共15 小题;每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 I had just graduated from college.

As children of the lab scientists, Mary and Tom often observed the emperor penguins that were studied to understand how they adapted to extreme temperatures —insights that could aid human survival. “We’re thirteen, Tom. It’s time to grow up and stop playing with the lab penguins,” said Mary as she started cleaning. “They’re research animals, not pets.” “But the birds listen to me.” insisted Tom, his breath forming a cloud in the freezing air. “You’re just trying to be a penguin whisperer again,” Mary replied, shaking her head with a gentle smile. The penguins seemed playful as they walked, dove, swam and chased their live fish for sport before eating. Suddenly , an alarm rang out and red lights flashed , signaling a problem. The kids rushed over to look into it. “It’s colder than before —there’s ice forming on the water,” noted Tom. Though always cold, Mary had never seen ice here before. She checked the habitat monitor and found that the temperature had gone down a lot. “The heater must be broken!” Mary quickly sent a message to their parents’ research team, who were conducting outdoor studies. With the adults away, the kids would have to deal with the freezing conditions until help arrived. Time dragged as Mary and Tom anxiously waited. The increasing cold caused them to shake. “I wonder what emperor penguins do in extreme cold, since they stay in the Pole all winter instead of going somewhere warmer,” asked Mary. “They huddle (挤作一团), ” Tom answered. “They huddle together tightly so that the birds in the middle will be warm enough.” “What about the ones on the edge?” Mary asked. “They push their way towards the center, and then move back out to the edge, and struggle back again. Scientists in the early 21st century recorded it.” He replied as he stared at the large crowd of the penguins in the lab. 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。 ”I have an idea to stay warm1" Tom shouted excitedly. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Two and a half hours later , the parents returned with help. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
