The disability was a greatest impediment to music when, in fifth grade, he said his music teacher wanted all the students to learn to play the recorder (竖笛). Instead of giving up, Anantawan and his parents decided to find him a different instrument to explore his musical talent. “My family chose the violin because they thought it was the most beautiful instrument,” Anantawan said. They contacted the Toronto-area hospital near the family, asking them to create an adaptive cast (石膏) on his arm that would allow the then 10-year-old to hold the bow. A group of engineers worked alongside Anantawan to build a special device. With it, Anantawan could use the bow and use his shoulder to make the sound. “From the very first note that I was playing, I was really attracted to the sound and the connection of my body to the instrument and being able to express my imagination,” he said. Although Anantawan is grateful for the technology that allows him and others with disabilities to find access to music, he said the most important part of access is that teachers, supporters and those who encourage young learners or musicians by telling them they can do anything are able to accept diversity. Anantawan is working to provide that space for others. As an associate professor at the Berklee College of Music, Anantawan founded the Music Inclusion Ensemble, a group of students with disabilities that provide accommodations for musicians according to their needs. Anantawan hopes to inspire people without being defined only by the challenges they face as a result of their disability. 24. What does the underlined word “impediment” probably mean in paragraph 1? A. Possibility. B. Achievement. C. Limit. D. Regret. 25. Why did Anantawan’s family get in touch with the hospital? A. To find a man-made hand for him. B. To inspire him to learn to play the recorder. C. To put forward suggestions on adapting a violin. D. To add something extra to assist his right arm. 26. What does Anantawan think is the key to the disabled’s access to music? A. Inclusive atmosphere. B. Fair competitions. C. Enough resources. D. Lasting cooperation. 27. Which of the following best describes Anantawan? A. Lucky and gifted. B. Demanding and strict. C. Humorous and responsible. D. Determined and caring. C When young children’s behavior becomes challenging, many parents turn to threats. Many parents threatened to leave an activity or place, or not get snacks. “Discipline (管教) helps young children learn what behaviors are safe and proper and can play an important role in helping them learn the difference between right and wrong,” said Susan Woolford, M. D．“Empty threats, however, destroy trust and aren’t usually effective.” Most parents surveyed reported getting input about discipline strategies from several sources, turning to the child’s other parent, talking with friends or using parenting books, articles and social media. Meanwhile, less than a fifth of parents have discussed discipline with a healthcare provider and one in eight parents say they haven’t thought about their discipline strategies. Some parents surveyed admitted using discipline strategies that aren’t recommended by experts, with two in five sometimes spanking (打屁股). “Discipline strategies should be proper for the child’s age and developmental level.” Woolford said. For children aged one to two, distraction (分散注意力) and redirection are often most effective, noting that children this young are exploring their environment and willful misbehavior is quite few. But after age two, children understand their actions can cause a reaction from others and may increasingly test that out. Parents of children aged three to five surveyed were more likely to use warnings, speak firmly, and give timeouts. During these preschool ages, parents should let them know what their misbehavior will lead to. For instance, if a child throws a drink out of anger, a proper punishment would be to have them clean up the mess while an unrelated punishment will be less effective. Reactions should be immediate, so the child understands the connection with their misbehavior. As children grow, they respond differently to various discipline methods, so parents should adapt their strategies and stay open to new approaches. “Balancing correction with positive strengthening—like praise and rewards—helps children build self-respect while learning from their mistakes.” Woolford said. 28．What will threatening bring to kids according to Susan Woolford? A．Less belief in parents. B．More improper behaviors. C．Unwillingness to accept gifts. D．Inability to tell right from wrong. 29．What is paragraph 2 mainly about? A．Effective threats to children. B．Situations of discipline strategies. C．Various methods of parenting. D．Reasons for children’s misbehavior. 30．What should parents do with the misbehavior of children aged 3 to 5? A．Reason with them patiently and seriously. B．Reflect on the causes of their mistakes. C．Forgive them for their childish actions. D．Punish them immediately and properly. 31．What can we infer from the last paragraph? A．Praise and rewards ensure self-respect. B．Disciplining children is a flexible process. C．Parenting becomes easier as children grow. D．Correcting mistakes is a new parenting approach. D When you ask people to judge others by their speech, a trend emerges: Listeners dislike disfluency (不流畅). Slow talkers producing loads of ums (嗯) and pauses (停顿) are generally considered as less charming. But science tells us there may be even more to disfluency. Disfluencies do not occur in arbitrary positions in sentences. Ums typically occur right before more difficult or low-frequency words. Imagine you’re having dinner with a friend at a restaurant, and there’re three items on the table: a knife, a glass, and a wine decanter (醒酒器). Your friend turns to you and says, “Could you hand me the...um...” What would you assume they want? Since it’s unlikely that they will hesitate before such common words as knife, and glass, chances are you’ll pick up the decanter and ask, “You mean this?” This is exactly what we proved through controlled eye-tracking studies in our lab. Apparently, listeners hear the um and predict that an uncommon word is most likely to follow. Such predictions, though, reflect more than just simple association between disfluencies and difficult words; listeners are actively considering from the speaker’s point of view. For example, when hearing a non-native speaker say the same sentence but with a thick foreign accent, listeners don’t show a preference for looking at low-frequency objects. This is probably because listeners assume non-native speakers may have as much trouble coming up with the English word for a common object, like a knife, as for unusual ones and can’t guess their intention. In another experiment, listeners were presented with an uncommon speaker who produced disfluencies before simple words and never before difficult words. Initially, participants displayed the natural predictive strategy: looking at uncommon objects. However, as more time went by, they gained experience with this uncommon distribution (分布) of disfluencies. Listeners started to demonstrate the contrary predictive behavior: They tended to look at simple objects when hearing the speaker say um. These findings represent further evidence that the human brain is a prediction machine: We continuously try to predict what will happen next, even though not all disfluencies are created equal. 32. Which statement does the example in paragraph 2 support? A. Pauses usually follow uncommon words. B. Slow talkers tend to pause more. C. Fluent speakers are unlikely to pause. D. Active listeners only guess difficult words. 33. What does the author say about the non-native speakers? A. They can be understood easily. B. They actively put themselves in others’ shoes. C. Their vocabularies are limited. D. Their disfluencies are a little less predictive. 34. What does the experiment in paragraph 4 show? A. Simple things are difficult in some cases. B. Listeners can adjust predictions accordingly. C. Distribution of disfluencies is changeable. D. Disfluencies in communication can be avoided. 35. Which of the following can be the best title for the article? A. Active Listeners Simplify Talks B. Human Brains Have the Power to Predict C. Disfluency Coexists with Pauses and Hesitation D. Disfluency Says More than You Think 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。 Sweating may not be your favorite thing to do, but it is a necessary process for maintaining the health of the human body. 36 Here are four research-backed reasons why this salt-based fluid can benefit you. • Sweating is good for your skin. Sweat is known to cool the skin, bringing toxins (毒素) to the surface and giving the skin a healthy glow. Research shows that sweating can increase and maintain skin hydration. However, leaving sweat on the skin for too long can cause skin diseases such as acne (痤疮). 37 • Sweating makes you happy. When you are hot, your heart beats faster to cool the body, releasing endorphins that cause feelings of joy. 38 In a recent study, people who smelled “joyful sweat” displayed tendencies associated with happiness. However, those exposed to fear-induced sweat showed characteristics of terror. • Sweating supports your heart. When sitting in a sauna (桑拿), your body temperature rises, so your body works overtime to  cool itself down by sweating. 39 A 20-year Finnish study found that people who sweated it out regularly in a sauna had a lower rate of sudden cardiac (心脏的)deaths. • 40    If you sweat heavily during exercise, that’s usually a positive sign. Athletes tend to sweat sooner and more than inactive people. Their bodies have learned to cool down more efficiently during physical activity. A study conducted by the Public Library of Science supports this, showing that long-distance runners not only got sweatier sooner, but also activated more sweat glands (汗腺), resulting in more sweat than their non-active counterparts. A. And you’ll be better off for it. B. Sweating a lot means that you are fit. C. Thus, it’s essential to wash your face and body after sweating. D. Sweat is the stuff that floods out when our body temperature rises. E. Sweating contributes to a decrease in blood pressure to some extent. F. Your sweaty self can also make those around you feel more delightful. G. This is a natural bodily function that helps to regulate body temperature and prevent overheating. 第三部分：语言知识运用(共两节，满分 30分) 第一节 （共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，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。 Sleepy, we tripped off the night train, stepping foot on new place: Berlin.

But nothing compared to the problem that I got to the age where my voice started changing. At first, the voice getting deep excited me. But then I learned before getting deeper, it can crack (变嘶哑). The first time it happened I was so embarrassed. Surprisingly, my friends didn’t make fun of me. In fact, they didn’t even mention it. But in my self-conscious sixth-grade mind I was certain they made fun of me behind my back. They weren’t having the same problem. After my first voice crack experience, I was determined to make sure it wouldn’t happen again. At least not in public. So, except for strategic times I said, “cool” and “yeah”, I didn’t talk. My logic was, “If I don’t use my voice, it cannot crack.” However, I couldn’t go without talking forever. I needed a new solution. I began clearing my throat before speaking, which actually seemed to help. Limiting how much I spoke and clearing my voice made me much less stressful. This was great but there was a larger problem. I was much more scared about having a voice crack during class. My class had many new kids I’d never spoken with. I didn’t want their first impressions of me to be based on a voice crack. Unfortunately, one day my concern came true. It was about two months after the beginning of the term. On the day it happened everything was the same as always until I got into the classroom. I noticed that we had a substitute teacher (代课老师) and immediately started thinking about how he would take attendance. My permanent teacher never had to, since he already knew each student, I panicked. So many thoughts rushed through my mind that I couldn’t think straight. I calmed myself down by telling myself that I only had to say one word “Here”. “Easy enough, right?” I thought so until my name was called. I did my routine — cleared my throat, took a breath, and said, “Here.” The only problem was that while saying this, I had the worst voice crack in the history of voice cracks. 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。 The whole class turned to look at me. 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 “You know, the voice problem you met in class is normal,” a classmate came to me and said. 　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 南康中学高二年级上学期英语学科开学考试卷 第 4 页 共 4 页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 南康中学高二年级上学期英语学科开学考参考答案 听力 1-5 CBCCA 6-10 BACAA 11-15 BABCB 16-20 BCABA 阅读理解 21-23 CDB 24-27 CDAD 28-31 ABDB 32-35 ADBD 36-40 GCFAB 完形填空 41-45ACBDA 46-50ADCBB 51-55CDDAB 语法填空 56. selected 57. secured 58. significance 59. of 60. extraordinarily 61. remarkable 62. a 63. that/which 64. agencies 65. maintaining 书面表达 第一节 One possible version: Two-Day Weekend Policy in Our School Our school has recently introduced a two-day weekend policy, allowing students and teachers to rest on both Saturdays and Sundays. This change aims to reduce stress and improve overall well-being. Most students welcome the policy, saying they now have more time for hobbies and family. Teachers also appreciate the extra rest, which helps them prepare lessons more effectively. However, a few worry about keeping up with studies, as they feel weekends might become too relaxed. In my opinion, the double-day weekend is beneficial. Not only does it balance work and rest but also leads to better productivity and mental health. With proper time management, students can enjoy their weekends while staying on top of schoolwork. 第二节 Possible version 1: The whole class turned to look at me. My face burned with embarrassment as I felt each pair of eyes fixed on me. The substitute teacher’s puzzled expression only added to the awkward moment. I wished the ground would open up and swallow me whole, but all I could do was shift uncomfortably in my seat. The whispers that followed were like knives to my self-esteem. When the bell finally rang for the break, I rushed out of the classroom, feeling utterly humiliated. It seemed like the whole school now knew about my voice crack. “You know, the voice problem you met in class is normal,” a classmate came to me and said. His reassuring words caught me off guard. As he shared his own similar experiences, I realized I wasn’t alone in this struggle. Knowing that others were going through the same thing made me feel seen and understood. His empathy sparked a sense of team spirit and support that I hadn't anticipated. Gradually, I let go of the fear of judgment and started to embrace my voice cracks as a natural part of growing up. This newfound sense of confidence and self-acceptance transformed my interactions at school, making me feel more at ease and connected with my peers. Possible version 2: The whole class turned to look at me. I felt my face turning red and wished the ground would open up and swallow me whole. The embarrassment was unbearable, and I couldn’t even bring myself to meet anyone’s gaze. After what felt like an eternity, the substitute teacher finally spoke up, breaking the awkward silence. He chuckled and said, “Well, that’s quite a lovely young voice!” The class laughed friendly along with him, and I managed a weak smile, wondering whether they were just trying to make me feel better. Finally, the bell rang and I walked out to have some fresh air. “You know, the voice problem you met in class is normal,” a classmate came to me and said. “Everyone goes through it. It happens to most of us during this stage of life.” He explained how he had also experienced voice cracks and how he had learned to embrace them as a natural part of growing up. I looked at him in surprise, grateful for his reassurance. My initial embarrassment and concern gave way to gratitude and confidence. My classmates were understanding and supportive, just as my friends had been from the beginning. With their encouragement, I gradually became more confident in using my voice, accepting the changes that came with puberty without fear or shame. 听力材料 Text 1 W：Who made the music for the movie?

Text 10 Good afternoon. My name is William, and I am the new drama teacher in our school. I'm very happy that you gave me the opportunity to come and work for the students. And I believe that you won't be disappointed. I would like to introduce the drama programs that I'm planning to work on for this school year. From this month, September, I'll start preparing sixth graders for two plays, The Sleeping Beauty and The Little Prince. I'll provide all the costumes for the plays, and I'll also make sure we have all the necessary objects and furniture. But students should prepare scripts and make up themselves. For the seventh graders, I'm thinking about something more challenging like The Three Little Pigs or The Ice Queen. These plays require more practices and stronger acting skills. But we have enough time to practice. For the eighth graders, I've decided to try some books, not just simple stories. Considering that students like mystery, I've chosen the book, The Hound of the Baskervilles by the famous English writer Arthur Conan Doyle. All these plays will be ready for the stage by the end of March next year. 南康中学高二年级上学期英语学科开学考参考答案 第 1 页 共 2 页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
