石嘴山市第一中学2025-2026学年高三年级第一学期开学考试英语试题 一、阅读理解 A Germany may be famous for its wealth of history and culture, but it also housed some of Europe’s most wild and wonderful landscapes. Jasmund National Park It lies on the west coast of the offshore island of Rugen. This UNESCO-protected site is the smallest of Germany’s national parks. It is here that painter Caspar David Friedrich found himself inspired to create one of his masterpieces, Chalk cliffs on Rugen, in 1818. Here long trails can take you all the way to the Rugen coastline, where white-sand beaches and blue waters wait. Berchtesgaden National Park Berchtesgaden is one of Germany’s oldest and most beautiful conservation areas. Trails go in and out of the forest, leading you along the bunks of glassy lakes. The more adventurous visitors may choose paragliding (滑翔伞运动) from Mount Jenner mid they can fly over 1,800 meters. Back on the ground, a network of more than 150 miles of walking trails twist through the forest. Southern Black Forest Nature Park The highland areas, with views over Switzerland and France, are a good place for food-lovers. Activities in the park range from hiking and fishing to mountain biking, while the slower travelers will enjoy the trails for an escape from everyday life. The Bliesgau Biosphere This place is home to almost half of all German orchid (兰花) species. The grasslands spread for miles, drawing in different butterflies. Thanks to its comfortable climate, this is a region of sustainable (可持续的) development. In fact, this park is an example of fanning done right and offers a wealth of agricultural know-how to anyone eager to learn. 1. What is special about Jasmund National Park? A. It has many different flowers. B. It covers the smallest area. C. It is good for travelers to fish. D. It offers beautiful grasslands. 2. Where can visitors enjoy the scenery of three countries? A. In Jasmund National Park. B. In Berchtesgaden National Park. C. In Southern Black Forest Nature Park. D. In the Bliesgau Biosphere. 3. Where does this text probably come from? A. A travel guide. B. A short story. C. A report. D. An essay. B I remember opening my iPad one day in fifth grade after a silly conversation with my cousin about scary story ideas. Hours later I completed my first short story. Since then, I’ve written many stories, short and long. But also, since then, I’ve read more and noticed just how well people my age could write. Since then, I also felt less and less willing to share my work:what if my writing isn’t as good as everybody else's? What started off as something creative that I could share with friends turned into competition changed by feelings of competence. Oftentimes, hobbies begin as something just for fun. But eventually, what was once fun now contributes to feelings of stress and inadequacy. I have plenty of memories of thinking I was going to pick up something new and stick with it, whether it be playing the piano, or drawing. But there is always a part of me that expects myself to just magically be good at all of those things. And when I’m not, the enjoyment tapers off as, slowly, I think mediocrity(平庸) isn’t acceptable anymore. Writing is the only hobby that I have repeatedly come back to despite dropping it constantly. I can see the growth in my writing all these years, but the expectations to be better and better is never satisfied. This is why I drop writing for months at a time. This feeling of a hobby becoming, for a lack of better word, a chore, lowers the satisfaction of said hobby. But hobbies are there to give you a breath of fresh air from having to excel at everything, from academics to your occupation. We must accept that it is okay to just suck at an activity but still doing it because it brings you joy. There is a balance between joy and expectations, either set by others or by ourselves. 4. What does the author do in the first paragraph? A. He challenges a tradition. B. He relates an experience. C. He envisions a coming trend. D. He compares varied hobbies. 5. Which can best replace the underlined phrase “tapers off” in paragraph 1? A. Thins out. B. Tops out. C. builds up. D. Spreads around. 6. Why does the author drop writing constantly? A. He is inadequate for it. B. He prefers mediocrity. C. He equates joy with achievement. D. He receives bitter comment. 7. What message does the passage convey? A. Mediocrity is the key to enjoyment. B. A hobby shared is a hobby squared. C. Excellence ensures academic success. D. Enjoyment outweighs excellence in hobbies. C A large body of research has been developed in recent years to explain many aspects of willpower. Most of the researchers exploring self-control do so with an obvious goal in mind: How can willpower be strengthened? If willpower is truly a limited resource, as the research suggests, what can be done to make it stay strong? Avoiding temptation (诱惑) is an effective method for maintaining self-control, which is called the “out of sight, out of mind” principle. One recent study, for instance, found office workers less attracted to candy in the desk drawer than that on top of their desks, in plain sight. The research suggesting that we possess a limited reservoir of self-control raises a troubling question. When we face too many temptations, are we to fail? Not necessarily. Researchers don’t believe that one’s willpower is ever completely exhausted. Rather, people appear to hold some willpower in reserve, saved for future demands. The right motivation allows us to tap into those reserves, allowing us to carry on even when our self-control strength has been run down. High motivation might help overcome weakened willpower — at least to a point. Willpower may also be made less vulnerable (脆弱) to being exhausted in the first place. Researchers who study self-control often describe it as being like a muscle that gets tired with heavy use. But there is another aspect to the muscle comparison, they say. While muscles become exhausted by exercise in the short term, they are strengthened by regular exercise in the long term. Similarly, regular practices of self-control may improve willpower strength. The evidence from willpower-exhaustion studies also suggests that making a list of resolutions on New Year’s Eve is the worst possible approach. Being exhausted in one area can reduce willpower in other areas, so it makes more sense to focus on a single goal at a time. In other words, don’t try to quit smoking, adopt a healthy diet and start a new exercise plan at the same time. Taking goals one by one is a better approach. Once a good habit is in place, Baumeister says, you’ll no longer need to draw on your willpower to maintain the behavior. Eventually healthy habits will become routine, and won’t require making decisions at all. 8 From the studies in the passage we learn that ________. A. people have unlimited self-control B. high motivation ensures one’s success C. people tend to keep some willpower in store D. temptations help to reserve willpower 9. The underlined phrase “tap into” in Paragraph 3 most probably means ________. A. make use of B. run out of C. get rid of D. take charge of 10. The author compares self-control to muscles ________. A. to prove the long-term effect of willpower B. to show the significance of regular exercise C. to argue that self-control can be easily used up D. to explain the benefits of practicing self-control 11. To develop a good habit, which of the following does the author prefer? A. “I will give up dessert and do exercise.” B. “I will set three goals this new semester.” C. “I will read an English novel every month.” D. “I will keep myself from any temptation.” D The Importance of a Balanced Lifestyle In today’s fast-paced world, maintaining a balanced lifestyle has become more crucial than ever. A balanced lifestyle encompasses various aspects such as a healthy diet, regular exercise, sufficient sleep, and time for leisure and social activities. On one hand, a healthy diet provides the necessary nutrients for our body to function optimally. It gives us the energy to carry out our daily tasks and helps prevent various diseases. Consuming a variety of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins is essential. Without a proper diet, we may feel fatigued and be more susceptible to illnesses. Regular exercise is equally important. It not only keeps our body fit but also improves our mental well-being. Physical activity releases endorphins, which are known as "feel-good" hormones. These endorphins can reduce stress, anxiety, and depression. Whether it’s going for a jog, practicing yoga, or playing a sport, finding an exercise routine that suits us is vital. Sufficient sleep is often overlooked but is a fundamental part of a balanced lifestyle. During sleep, our body repairs and rejuvenates itself. Lack of sleep can lead to a decline in cognitive abilities, decreased productivity, and mood swings. Most adults require seven to eight hours of sleep per night to function at their best. In addition to physical health, having time for leisure and social activities is essential for our overall well-being. Hobbies and interests allow us to relax and unwind, while social interactions with friends and family provide a support system and a sense of belonging. Engaging in activities such as reading, painting, or going to the movies can enrich our lives and reduce stress. In conclusion, a balanced lifestyle is not a luxury but a necessity. By taking care of our physical and mental health and making time for the things we enjoy, we can lead a more fulfilling and productive life. 12. What is the main idea of the passage? A. The importance of a healthy diet. B. The benefits of regular exercise. C. The necessity of a balanced lifestyle. D. The significance of sufficient sleep. 13. Why is a healthy diet important? A. It makes us look good. B. It provides energy and prevents diseases. C. It is a trendy lifestyle choice. D. It helps us sleep better. 14. What does regular exercise do for our mental well-being? A. It makes us more intelligent. B. It reduces stress and anxiety. C. It improves our memory. D. It gives us more confidence. 15. Why is having time for leisure and social activities important? A. It helps us make more money. B. It allows us to relax and have a support system. C. It makes us more popular. D. It improves our physical health. 从下列给出的选项中，选出最适合的选项，有2个为干扰项。 Gratitude, in its simplest form, is the act of feeling grateful for what you have. ___16___ If you are a person that practices gratitude regularly, you may have benefited a lot from that.

However, scientists wonder ____36____ the beauty of math can be found in literary works. Once Upon a Prime: The Wondrous Connections between Mathematics and Literature, a book ____37____ (publish) recently by UK mathematician Sarah Hart, presents some interesting thoughts about “three”. She argues that the beauty of this number is indeed evident in many works of western literature and languages in general. “Three” is the minimum number____38____which a two-dimensional shape can be defined. For example, three sticks can create a triangle, a stable structure. Many common phrases are in three words, such as “ready, set, go”. In stories, there are usually three main characters, such as Harry, Ron and Hermione in the Harry Potter series. For a series of novels, there are usually three books rather than four, according to Hart. Why is it always the third son who ____39____ (behave) differently from his two older brothers, thus ____40____ (win) the princess? “The reason for this,” Hart explains, “is obvious. We require two ____41____ (repeat) to get to know the pattern, so that the breaking of the pattern in the third character can surprise or amuse us.” Similarly, another study by researchers at the University of Vermont also connected math and storytelling. They analyzed more than 1,300 fiction books and arranged for 10,000 words from the books ____42____ (rate) by 50 participants on a happiness scale of 1 to 9. Then the ratings ____43____ (categorize) into different graphs, which showed how the readers’ emotions changed while reading. It turned out that each story fit ____44____ (perfect) into one of six basic graphs, a mathematical pattern. “The idea _____45_____ one would have to choose between mathematics and literature is something of a tragedy,” Hart says, “The two fields are fundamentally linked”. 46. 假定你是李华，上周六你校组织全体师生参观了附近的农场。请你给外国笔友 Jim写一封电子邮件介绍此事，内容包括： 1. 活动目的；2. 活动安排； 3. 你的收获。 注意： 1. 词数80 左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Dear Jim, How are you going these days?

On this particular day, she was guiding them through the process of drawing a scenic landscape. Akila yawned(打哈欠), clearly disinterested - drawing wasn’t her thing. A small group of students gathered around Tina, laughing at her unusual drawing: a sun sporting sunglasses and trees topped with ice cream cones. Mary instructed Tina firmly but with unease, “Draw it the way I showed you.” As the lesson continued, doubt crept into Mary’s mind. Had the joy of creativity been overshadowed by the pressure to fit in? She scanned the room, observing her students’ faces – some concentrated, others uncertain. Akila’s disinterest was clear and Tina’s imaginative drawing had been met with ridicule instead of praise. After class, Mary sat down with Tina, her tone softening, “Why did you draw the sun with sunglasses and the trees with ice creams?” she asked gently. Tina’s eyes sparkled with a touch of rebellion (叛逆)-“I love ice cream, and I thought the sun would look cool with sunglasses. Why do we always have to draw like everyone else?” Mary paused, her thoughts racing. Tina’s drawings weren’t just curious —they were a window into a world where imagination ruled, where rales could be bent into delightful chaos. Was she, by enforcing a rigid style, killing that very creativity? The next morning, Mary walked into the classroom with a renewed sense of purpose. She placed a large sheet of paper in front of the class and announced a new project: they would create a collective(集体的)artwork titled “Our Dream World” with no rules. They were free to use colors, shapes, and patterns however they wished. At first, the students hesitated, unsure of this newfound freedom. Akila leaned back, skeptical of what seemed like another pointless exercise. But Tina, her creativity no longer restricted, eagerly grabbed her crayons and began to draw with abandon. Then, Maya joined in. And then Michael... 注意: 1.所续写短文的词数应为150左右; 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 As the students worked, Mary observed them with curiosity. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Mary stood back and surveyed the creation. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 石嘴山市第一中学2025-2026学年高三年级第一学期开学考试英语试题 一、阅读理解 A Germany may be famous for its wealth of history and culture, but it also housed some of Europe’s most wild and wonderful landscapes.

D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文，作者讲述了自己从五年级开始写作，随着阅读增多，发现同龄人写作水平高，因担心自己写得不好而逐渐不愿分享作品，写作从创意分享变成竞争，还提到其他爱好也因期望过高而带来压力，最后指出爱好应带来快乐，要在快乐和期望间找到平衡。 【4题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“I remember opening my iPad one day in fifth grade after a silly conversation with my cousin about scary story ideas. Hours later, I completed my first short story. Since then, I’ve written many stories, short and long. But also, since then, I’ve read more and noticed just how well people my age could write. Since then, I also felt less and less willing to share my work: what if my writing isn’t as good as everybody else’ s? What started off as something creative that I could share with friends turned into competition changed by feelings of competence.(我记得五年级的一天，在和表弟就恐怖故事创意进行了一次愚蠢的对话后，我打开了iPad。几个小时后，我完成了我的第一个短篇小说。从那以后，我写了很多短篇和长篇故事。但同样，从那以后，我读得更多，也注意到我这个年纪的人写作水平有多高。从那以后，我也越来越不愿意分享我的作品：如果我的写作不如其他人的好呢？原本是一件我可以和朋友分享的创意之事，却变成了因能力感而改变的竞争。)”可知，作者在第一段讲述了一段自己的经历。故选B项。 【5题详解】 词句猜测题。根据文章第一段“And when I’m not, the enjoyment … as, slowly, I think mediocrity(平庸) isn’t acceptable anymore(当我不是这样的时候，随着慢慢地，我认为平庸不再被接受，这种乐趣就……了)”可知，当作者认为自己做得不好，认为平庸不再被接受时，乐趣就会减少，所以“tapers off”意思是“减少”。故选A项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Writing is the only hobby that I have repeatedly come back to despite dropping it constantly. I can see the growth in my writing all these years, but the expectations to be better and better is never satisfied. This is why I drop writing for months at a time. This feeling of a hobby becoming, for a lack of better word, a chore, lowers the satisfaction of said hobby.(写作是我唯一一个不断放下却又反复捡起的爱好。这些年我能看到自己写作上的进步，但对越来越好的期望从未得到满足。这就是为什么我一次会放下写作好几个月。这种爱好变成了一种家务活的感觉，降低了这种爱好带来的满足感)”可知，这些年作者能看到自己写作上的进步，但对越来越好的期望从未得到满足，这就是为什么作者一次会放下写作好几个月，这种爱好变成了一种家务活的感觉，降低了这种爱好带来的满足感，可推理出作者不断放下写作是因为把快乐等同于成就，当达不到期望时，写作带来的快乐就降低了。故选C项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“But hobbies are there to give you a breath of fresh air from having to excel at everything, from academics to your occupation. We must accept that it is okay to just suck at an activity but still doing it because it brings you joy. There is a balance between joy and expectations, either set by others or by ourselves(但爱好是为了让你在从学业到职业的各个方面都出类拔萃之余，能呼吸到新鲜空气。我们必须接受，在一项活动中表现不佳也没关系，只要它给你带来快乐。在快乐和期望之间有一个平衡，无论是别人设定的还是我们自己设定的)”可知，在一项活动中表现不佳也没关系，只要它给你带来快乐，可推理出文章主要传达的是在爱好中，快乐比优秀更重要。故选D项。 C A large body of research has been developed in recent years to explain many aspects of willpower.

A. “I will give up dessert and do exercise.” B. “I will set three goals this new semester.” C. “I will read an English novel every month.” D. “I will keep myself from any temptation.” 【答案】8. C 9. A 10. D 11. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文，文章探讨了关于意志力的研究，强调自我控制可通过避免诱惑、保持动机、长期练习等方式增强。作者将自我控制比作肌肉，指出短期使用会疲劳，但长期锻炼可增强。同时建议逐步培养习惯，避免同时追求多个目标。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Researchers don’t believe that one’s willpower is ever completely exhausted. Rather, people appear to hold some willpower in reserve, saved for future demands.(研究人员认为，人的意志力永远不会完全耗尽。相反，人们似乎保留了一些意志力以备未来需求)”可知，选项C. people tend to keep some willpower in store(人们倾向于储存一些意志力)与关键文本hold some willpower in reserve完全一致。故选C。 【9题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段中“Rather, people appear to hold some willpower in reserve, saved for future demands. The right motivation allows us to tap into those reserves, allowing us to carry on even when our self-control strength has been run down.(相反，人们似乎保留了一些意志力以备未来需求。正确的动机使我们能够tap into这些储备，即使我们的自制力已经耗尽，也能让我们继续前进)”可知，上下文提到人们保留意志力储备，后接允许我们继续坚持，可推断tap into意为“利用”，和选项A. make use of(利用)一致。故选A。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“While muscles become exhausted by exercise in the short term, they are strengthened by regular exercise in the long term. Similarly, regular practices of self-control may improve willpower strength.(虽然肌肉在短期内会因运动而疲劳，但长期定期运动可以增强肌肉。同样，经常练习自我控制可以提高意志力)”可知，作者通过肌肉长期锻炼变强类比自控力规律练习增强意志力，目的是解释练习自控力的好处（即增强意志力），和选项D. to explain the benefits of practicing self-control(解释练习自我控制的好处)一致。故选D。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“so it makes more sense to focus on a single goal at a time. In other words, don’t try to quit smoking, adopt a healthy diet and start a new exercise plan at the same time. Taking goals one by one is a better approach.(所以一次只专注于一个目标更有意义。换句话说，不要试图戒烟，同时采取健康的饮食和开始一个新的锻炼计划。一个一个地制定目标是一个更好的方法)”可知，作者强调一次一个目标，排除多目标选项。选项C. “I will read an English novel every month.” 我将每月读一本英文小说（单一、具体、可坚持的目标）符合一次一个目标的原则。故选C。 D The Importance of a Balanced Lifestyle In today’s fast-paced world, maintaining a balanced lifestyle has become more crucial than ever. A balanced lifestyle encompasses various aspects such as a healthy diet, regular exercise, sufficient sleep, and time for leisure and social activities. On one hand, a healthy diet provides the necessary nutrients for our body to function optimally. It gives us the energy to carry out our daily tasks and helps prevent various diseases. Consuming a variety of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins is essential. Without a proper diet, we may feel fatigued and be more susceptible to illnesses. Regular exercise is equally important. It not only keeps our body fit but also improves our mental well-being. Physical activity releases endorphins, which are known as "feel-good" hormones. These endorphins can reduce stress, anxiety, and depression. Whether it’s going for a jog, practicing yoga, or playing a sport, finding an exercise routine that suits us is vital. Sufficient sleep is often overlooked but is a fundamental part of a balanced lifestyle. During sleep, our body repairs and rejuvenates itself. Lack of sleep can lead to a decline in cognitive abilities, decreased productivity, and mood swings. Most adults require seven to eight hours of sleep per night to function at their best. In addition to physical health, having time for leisure and social activities is essential for our overall well-being. Hobbies and interests allow us to relax and unwind, while social interactions with friends and family provide a support system and a sense of belonging. Engaging in activities such as reading, painting, or going to the movies can enrich our lives and reduce stress. In conclusion, a balanced lifestyle is not a luxury but a necessity. By taking care of our physical and mental health and making time for the things we enjoy, we can lead a more fulfilling and productive life. 12. What is the main idea of the passage? A. The importance of a healthy diet. B. The benefits of regular exercise. C. The necessity of a balanced lifestyle. D. The significance of sufficient sleep. 13. Why is a healthy diet important? A. It makes us look good. B. It provides energy and prevents diseases. C. It is a trendy lifestyle choice. D. It helps us sleep better. 14. What does regular exercise do for our mental well-being? A. It makes us more intelligent. B. It reduces stress and anxiety. C. It improves our memory. D. It gives us more confidence. 15. Why is having time for leisure and social activities important? A. It helps us make more money. B. It allows us to relax and have a support system. C. It makes us more popular. D. It improves our physical health. 【答案】12. C 13. B 14. B 15.

It gives us the energy to carry out our daily tasks and helps prevent various diseases. (一方面，健康的饮食为我们的身体提供最佳功能所需的营养。它给我们执行日常任务的能量，并有助于预防各种疾病。)”可知，健康饮食重要是因为它提供能量并预防疾病。故选B项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Regular exercise is equally important. It not only keeps our body fit but also improves our mental well-being. Physical activity releases endorphins, which are known as “feel-good” hormones. These endorphins can reduce stress, anxiety, and depression. (定期锻炼同样重要。它不仅使我们的身体保持健康，还能改善我们的心理健康。体育活动会释放内啡肽，也就是所谓的 “感觉良好” 的荷尔蒙。这些内啡肽可以减轻压力、焦虑和抑郁。)”可知，规律锻炼对我们心理健康的作用是减少压力和焦虑。故选B项。 【15题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段中的“In addition to physical health, having time for leisure and social activities is essential for our overall well-being. Hobbies and interests allow us to relax and unwind, while social interactions with friends and family provide a support system and a sense of belonging.(除了身体健康，花时间进行休闲和社交活动对我们的整体幸福至关重要。爱好和兴趣让我们放松身心，而与朋友和家人的社交互动提供了一个支持系统和归属感。)”可知，花时间进行休闲和社交活动重要是因为它让我们放松并拥有支持系统。故选B项。 从下列给出的选项中，选出最适合的选项，有2个为干扰项。 Gratitude, in its simplest form, is the act of feeling grateful for what you have. ___16___ If you are a person that practices gratitude regularly, you may have benefited a lot from that.

However, scientists wonder ____36____ the beauty of math can be found in literary works. Once Upon a Prime: The Wondrous Connections between Mathematics and Literature, a book ____37____ (publish) recently by UK mathematician Sarah Hart, presents some interesting thoughts about “three”. She argues that the beauty of this number is indeed evident in many works of western literature and languages in general. “Three” is the minimum number____38____which a two-dimensional shape can be defined. For example, three sticks can create a triangle, a stable structure. Many common phrases are in three words, such as “ready, set, go”. In stories, there are usually three main characters, such as Harry, Ron and Hermione in the Harry Potter series. For a series of novels, there are usually three books rather than four, according to Hart. Why is it always the third son who ____39____ (behave) differently from his two older brothers, thus ____40____ (win) the princess? “The reason for this,” Hart explains, “is obvious. We require two ____41____ (repeat) to get to know the pattern, so that the breaking of the pattern in the third character can surprise or amuse us.” Similarly, another study by researchers at the University of Vermont also connected math and storytelling. They analyzed more than 1,300 fiction books and arranged for 10,000 words from the books ____42____ (rate) by 50 participants on a happiness scale of 1 to 9. Then the ratings ____43____ (categorize) into different graphs, which showed how the readers’ emotions changed while reading. It turned out that each story fit ____44____ (perfect) into one of six basic graphs, a mathematical pattern. “The idea _____45_____ one would have to choose between mathematics and literature is something of a tragedy,” Hart says, “The two fields are fundamentally linked”. 【答案】36. whether##if 37. published 38. with 39. behaves 40. winning 41. repetitions 42. to be rated 43. were categorized 44. perfectly 45. that 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了数学和文学之间的关系，二者其实是紧密相连的。数学家将数学与文学结合起来，在文学作品发现数学之美。 【36题详解】 考查宾语从句引导词。句意：然而，科学家们想知道数学之美是否能在文学作品中找到。“____1____ the beauty of math can be found in literary works”为动词“wonder”的宾语从句，从句的句子结构完整，结合语境“wonder”，这里应是表达疑问语气，用“whether/if”引导从句。故填whether/if。 【37题详解】 考查过去分词。句意：英国数学家莎拉·哈特最近出版了《素数时代：数学与文学之间的奇妙联系》一书，书中提出了一些关于“三”的有趣想法。“___2____ (publish) recently by UK mathematician Sarah Hart”为之前“a book”的后置定语，动词“publish”与其之间为被动关系，用过去分词形式。故填published。 【38题详解】 考查介词。句意：“三”是可以用来定义二维形状的最小数字。“___3____ which a two-dimensional shape can be defined”为之前“the minimum number”的定语从句，关系代词为“which”，因此这里应是介词。结合从句中“be defined”可知，这里是短语“be defined with sth”结构，意为“用……被定义……”，介词“with”置于从句关系代词之前。故填with。 【39题详解】 考查时态和主谓一致。句意：为什么总是第三个儿子表现不同于他的两个哥哥，从而赢得了公主？所填动词作从句的谓语动词；结合语境，这里讲述客观事实，用一般现在时，且从句主语“the third son”为第三人称单数，动词用单数形式。故填behaves。 【40题详解】 考查现在分词。句意：为什么总是第三个儿子表现不同于他的两个哥哥，从而赢得了公主？“thus ____5____ (win) the princess”为结果状语，逻辑主语“the third son”与动词“win”之间为主动关系，用现在分词形式，表示自然而然的结果。故填winning。 【41题详解】 考查名词复数。句意：“原因很明显，”哈特解释道。我们需要两次重复来了解这个模式，这样第三个人打破模式就会给我们带来惊喜或乐趣。”根据空前“two”可知，这里用名词复数，作动词“require”的宾语。“repeat”，动词，意为“重复，再做”，其名词形式为“repetition(重演，重复)”，作可数名词，这里用复数。故填repetitions。 【42题详解】 考查动词不定式。句意：他们分析了1300多本小说，并从书中挑选了1万个单词，让50名参与者按照1到9的快乐程度给它们打分。分析可知，“____7____ (rate) by 50 participants on a happiness scale of 1 to 9”为目的状语，应是用动词不定式表达；且这里的“rate”与“10,000 words from the books”之间为被动关系，用不定式被动结构：to be done。故填to be rated。 【43题详解】 考查时态和被动。句意：然后，将评分被分类成不同的图表，这些图表显示了读者在阅读时情绪变化。所填动词作句子谓语动词；结合语境用一般过去时，主语“the ratings”与动词“categorize”之间为被动关系，用一般过去时被动：were done。故填were categorized。 【44题详解】 考查副词。句意：事实证明，每个故事都完美地符合六个基本图表中的一个，一个数学模式。副词作状语，修饰动词“fit”。“perfect”，形容词，意为“完美的”，其副词形式为“perfectly(完美地，极佳地)”。故填perfectly。 【45题详解】 考查同位语从句引导词。句意：“人们必须在数学和文学之间做出选择的想法是一种悲剧，”哈特说，“这两个领域从根本上是联系在一起的。”“____10____ one would have to choose between mathematics and literature”为之前“The idea”的同位语从句，从句结构和句意完整，用that引导从句。故填that。 46. 假定你是李华，上周六你校组织全体师生参观了附近的农场。请你给外国笔友 Jim写一封电子邮件介绍此事，内容包括： 1. 活动目的；2. 活动安排； 3. 你的收获。 注意： 1. 词数80 左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Dear Jim, How are you going these days?

On this particular day, she was guiding them through the process of drawing a scenic landscape. Akila yawned(打哈欠), clearly disinterested - drawing wasn’t her thing. A small group of students gathered around Tina, laughing at her unusual drawing: a sun sporting sunglasses and trees topped with ice cream cones. Mary instructed Tina firmly but with unease, “Draw it the way I showed you.” As the lesson continued, doubt crept into Mary’s mind. Had the joy of creativity been overshadowed by the pressure to fit in? She scanned the room, observing her students’ faces – some concentrated, others uncertain. Akila’s disinterest was clear and Tina’s imaginative drawing had been met with ridicule instead of praise. After class, Mary sat down with Tina, her tone softening, “Why did you draw the sun with sunglasses and the trees with ice creams?” she asked gently. Tina’s eyes sparkled with a touch of rebellion (叛逆)-“I love ice cream, and I thought the sun would look cool with sunglasses. Why do we always have to draw like everyone else?” Mary paused, her thoughts racing. Tina’s drawings weren’t just curious —they were a window into a world where imagination ruled, where rales could be bent into delightful chaos. Was she, by enforcing a rigid style, killing that very creativity? The next morning, Mary walked into the classroom with a renewed sense of purpose. She placed a large sheet of paper in front of the class and announced a new project: they would create a collective(集体的)artwork titled “Our Dream World” with no rules. They were free to use colors, shapes, and patterns however they wished. At first, the students hesitated, unsure of this newfound freedom. Akila leaned back, skeptical of what seemed like another pointless exercise. But Tina, her creativity no longer restricted, eagerly grabbed her crayons and began to draw with abandon.

Akila even leaned over to admire Tina’s ice cream trees and said, “That is mind-blowing!” It was wonderful to see them cooperate, their initial differences melting away in the warmth of shared creativity.

Mary felt a sense of pride swell within her; she realized that in letting go of rigid structures, her students gave their painting an unrealistic but dream-like quality.

We should definitely hang it on the wall!” Inspired by the moment, Mary decided to host an exhibition of their dream world, inviting parents and other classes to admire the beauty of imagination unleashed in her classroom. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述Mary是小学美术老师，一次课上，她发现Akila对画画不感兴趣，而Tina画得天马行空而遭到同学们的嘲笑，最后Mary意识到她限制了孩子们的想象力，所以第二天，Mary宣布将创作一个名为“我们的梦想世界”的集体艺术品，没有任何规则。孩子们可以随意使用颜色、形状和图案。一个接一个，孩子们开始作画了... 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“当学生们画画时，Mary好奇地看着他们”可以预测续写这段主要内容： 孩子们相互帮助完成画作。 ②由第二段首句内容“Mary退后一步，打量着创造的画作。”可以预测续写这段主要内容：Mary对他们的创造力感到惊讶，决定举办画展并邀请他们家长参与。 2.续写线索： Mary看孩子们作画——孩子们对作画表现出兴趣——相互帮助完成画作—— Mary对他们的创造力感到惊讶——决定举办画展 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①.鼓舞：inspire/motivate/encourage ②.欣赏： admire/appreciate ③.说：say/utter 情绪类 ①.热情地： enthusiastically/passionately ②.高兴的：thrilled/glad/delighted/happy 【点睛】[高分句型1].
