B Sylvain Saudan’s skiing was so alarmingly ambitious that people struggled to believe his accomplishments were real. The Swiss extreme skiing pioneer became the first to successfully rush down the Spencer Couloir’s 55-degree slope (斜坡) — with more than 200 turns, at speeds close to freefall on France’s Aiguille de Blaitière mountain in 1967. Locals didn’t trust that he’d really done it until a plane flew over the mountain and took photos of his ski tracks. Nicknamed the “skier of the impossible,” Saudan sought out slopes from the Himalayas to the Alps, often reaching the peaks by helicopter. But in 1982, he climbed for 25 days to reach the 26, 500-foot summit of Pakistan’s Gasherbrum I, searching for virgin areas in its natural state. “The first to dare something are the real adventurers,” he said in 2016. “It’s the first that counts.” Raised on a farm in the Alps, Saudan didn’t have the resources to train as a competitive skier, and worked as a laborer and truck driver before becoming a ski instructor. Teaching through icy winters in Scotland helped prepare him for deadly slopes. After skiing the Spencer Couloir, he spent two decades “seeking greater challenges and testing new methods,” said The Washington Post. He developed a new skiing style and introduced equipment innovations for steep slopes, but ignored safety precautions as he shot down Oregon’s Mount Hood, Tanzania’s Mount Kilimanjaro, and Nepal’s Dhaulagiri. Saudan completed his last major expedition in 1986 by skiing down Mount Fuji on bare rocks, walking away without a single cut. He “spent his life challenging gravity, avalanches, and obituary (讣告) writers,” said The New York Times. He insisted that mental preparation helped keep fear cornered, yet death was never far from his mind. “There’s really only one way out,” he said: “Don’t fall down.” 4 How did people react to Saudan’s achievement on the Spencer Couloir’s 55-degree slope? A They thought of him as a skiing pioneer. B. They considered it as a fact at once. C. They were ignorant of it completely. D. They doubted it till evidence arrived. 5. Which of the following can best describe Saudan? A. Brave and generous. B. Adventurous and devoted. C. Creative but timid. D. Reserved but famous. 6. Why did Saudan go skiing? A. To escape his past life as a laborer. B. To push himself to new limits. C. To document adventures for fame. D. To test new skiing equipment. 7. What does The New York Times imply about Saudan? A. He faced extreme dangers in his career. B. He was cautious during his expeditions. C. His skiing methods were widely accepted. D. His achievements were often questioned. C OpenAI, the company behind the artificial intelligence tool ChatGPT, has set out restructuring plans to make it easier for it to raise money and remove restrictions made by its non-profit parent (母公司). OpenAI reveals its for-profit unit would become a public benefit corporation, a company required to consider the interests of society as well as shareholder (股东) value. The non-profit parent would have “a significant interest” in the public benefit corporation, OpenAI said in a blog-post, adding that it would be one of the “best resourced non-profits in history.” OpenAI has been looking to make changes to its rules to make it easier for investors to profit when they inject new investment into the firm. OpenAI was founded in 2015 as a research-focused non-profit but created a for-profit unit four years later to secure funding for the high costs of AI development. Its unusual structure gave control of the for-profit unit to the non-profit. A $6.6 billion fundraising by OpenAI, which valued it at $157 billion, was conditional on it being able to remove a profit limit and move towards being a more conventional company. “We again need to raise more money than we’d imagined. Investors want to back us but they need conventional equity (股东权益) and a less unique structure,” OpenAI said. “The hundreds of billions of dollars that companies are investing into AI show what it will take for OpenAI to continue pursuing the mission.” “This is the critical step the company needs in order to continue fundraising,” said Gil Luria, analyst with DA Davidson & Co. The key to the announcement, he said, was that the for-profit side of OpenAI “will run and control OpenAI’s operations and business.” For its AI competitors, it’s a different matter. Musk, an OpenAI co-founder, is trying to preclude the plan, as is Meta Platforms, which is developing a competitor against ChatGPT named Meta AI. 8. What is a public benefit corporation required to do? A. Operate its non-profit parent independently. B. Focus only on maximizing shareholder value. C. Reduce the amount of money raised from investors. D. Combine the interests of society and shareholder value. 9. Why does OpenAI believe it needs to restructure its operations in paragraph 5? A. To attract more investors and simplify the structure. B. To push forward its development goals on AI safety. C. To settle conflicts with its non-profit parent organization. D. To prevent competitors from taking control of its operations. 10. What does the underlined word “preclude” in paragraph 6 mean? A. Design. B. Prevent. C. Back. D. Follow. 11. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. OpenAI to Keep Influencing Shareholders. B. OpenAI to Defend ChatGPT from Criticism. C. OpenAI to Relax Control over Its For-Profit Unit. D. OpenAI to Spend Funds on Artificial Intelligence. D For much of history, the practice of art was mysterious, and artists were viewed as being somewhat odd and often mad. Even the word most commonly associated with artists — inspiration — has its own magical qualities. Literally, the word “inspiration” means the breathing-in of a spirit. Artists were thought of as people who were uniquely inspired to create. Many artists credited their talents to the presence of some supernatural power. The Romantic poets believed that art was a term that meant an ultimate expression of beauty and truth. The search for this ideal led them to explore both natural and supernatural themes in their works. Another persistent view of art regarded its divorce from logic. Reason and logic were the province of scientists and philosophers, whereas creativity and insight were the area of the artists. The two separate aspects of the mind were supposed to remain distinct. But in 1704, a major breakthrough occurred. Sir Isaac Newton, mathematician and physicist, published his study of light, Opticks. One of Newton’s major discoveries was on the nature of color. Using a prism (棱镜), Newton provided a scientific explanation for the presence of rainbows. The artistic community was shocked. A scientist had ventured into their sacred territory. More than a hundred years later, John Keats, one of the most famous Romantic poets, accused Newton of reducing beauty by “unweaving the rainbow”. His colleague, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, famously remarked that the souls of five hundred Newtons would be needed to make one Shakespeare. And yet, from another perspective, Newton did not reduce the beauty of the rainbow; he enhanced it. In his search to uncover the secrets of the rainbow, Newton demonstrated the wonder, creativity, and inspiration of an artist. His discovery also paved the way for the development of spectroscopy, a way of analyzing the chemical makeup of light. Now scientists can look at the stars and know their composition. The sense of wonder this ability creates is not much different from the wonder the poet or artist feels when staring at those same stars. 12. According to the passage, what was the common view of artists in history? A. Their works focused on the supernatural. B. Their unique abilities came from within. C. They possessed both logic and magic. D. They were strange but indeed gifted. 13. How did the Romantic poets react to Newton’s discovery about light and color? A. They credited Newton’s insights to mystical influences. B. They felt it faded the poetic beauty of natural phenomena. C. They were inspired to integrate more scientific themes in their poetry. D. They believed it added a new dimension to the appreciation of beauty. 14. Why does the author mention John Keats’ and Samuel Taylor Coleridge’s views on Newton? A. To contrast their criticism with science’s artistic value. B. To highlight the effect of scientific breakthroughs on art. C. To show Romantic poets’ objection to scientific progress. D. To emphasize the superior creativity of poets over scientists. 15. Which of the following is the best title of the passage? A. Distinguishing Art from Science B. Isaac Newton’s Influence on Arts C. Shared Wonder of Art and Science D. The Artistic Interpretation of Science 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。 If anyone had told me three years ago that I would be spending most of my weekends camping, I would have laughed heartily.

He has been drawing crowds to the race track for years. But his rise to fame isn’t just being fast on the speedway. He’s breaking barriers on the track for those with disabilities. Riley has autism (自闭症). Simple tasks like tying his shoes are extremely complicated for him, but when you put him in a race car — a complex, delicate piece of machinery — he’ll blow your mind. I first met Riley and his father Jason at the local karting (卡丁车运动) track in 2014. I still remember how excited Riley was to have me and my cameraman there filming his every move. He was a karting car racer back then. He could barely talk to me, let alone look at me. However, even though Riley was quiet and shy, I knew he was going to be something big. The karting track is where Riley’s racing care er began. His dad just wanted to give him something to focus his energy on. Riley has always loved cars. He has been enthusiastic about them since he started to learn to walk. So why not try karting? The minute Riley hit the gas, he was attracted. Little did Riley and his father realize this was going to change their lives forever. In Riley’s mind, everything moves fast. Slowing things down makes things difficult and frustrating. But the minute Riley slid into that karting car, everything went well. He’d found his calling and it put him on the podium (领奖台), so many times that he would need a separate room just for his trophies (奖杯). Riley’s journey on the track soon took him from fast karting cars to really fast cars. He became the first person with autism in Canada to get his race car licence. It opened up the track for Riley to drive in the big leagues. Riley was now racing across North America, making the podium almost every time. He was an impressive force on the track, but an even more impressive person off the track. 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。 When Riley started winning race after race, people wanted to know who this kid was. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Riley’s story brought a ray of hope to families having children with autism. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2025年秋期高三开学联合考试 英语 本试卷分为试题卷和答题卡两部分，其中试题卷由第I卷（选择题）和第II卷（非选择题）组成，共10页；答题卡共2页。满分150分，考试时间120分钟。 注意事项： 1. 答题前，考生务必在答题卡上将自己的学校、班级、姓名用0.5毫米黑色签字笔填写清楚，同时用2B铅笔将考号准确填涂在“考号”栏目内。 2. 选择题使用2B铅笔填涂在答题卡对应题目标号的位置上，如需改动，用橡皮擦擦干净后再选涂其它答案；非选择题用0.5毫米黑色签字笔书写在答题卡的对应框内，超出答题区域书写的答案无效；在草稿纸、试题卷上答题无效。 3. 考试结束后将答题卡收回。 第I卷（选择题，共95分） 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题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.

You can visit Disney 100 flexibly. C. You can buy them over the phone. D. They are cheaper. 【答案】1. C 2. A 3. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了迪士尼100周年展览的情况，包括时间和收费等信息。 【1题详解】 推理判断题。文章第二段讲到“Making its world debut(首映式) right here in Philadelphia, the exhibition takes guests behind the scenes and puts them into the magic of Disney at what’s sure to be one of the must-see exhibitions of this year. (该展览在费城首次在全球亮相，将客人带到幕后，让他们在今年必看的展览中感受迪士尼的魔力)”可推断出C项“这次展览真的很值得一看”，A项“这是费城的第一个展览”与原文“该展览在费城首次在全球亮相”意思不一致。文章When to Visit部分讲到“From February 18 to August 27. (从2月18日到8月27日。)”可知，B项“它将于二月初对公众开放”是错误的。文章Admission & Tickets部分中最后一段“Lastly, consider picking up Flex Time Tickets, which allow exhibition access for any time. These run $61 a person and must be bought over the phone. (最后，考虑购买弹性时间门票，这样可以在任何时间进入展览。这些产品每人售价61美元，必须通过电话购买。)”中虽然出现短语“pick up购买”，但是与选项中“picks up接送”的意思不同，而且，整篇文章没有说到免费接送游客，因此D项错误。可知，因此，我们可以推测得出C项“这次展览真的很值得一看”。故选C。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。文章What to Expect部分第二段讲到“What can guests expect? Items from the Walt Disney Archives (档案馆), as well as more than 250 of Disney’s “Crown Jewels”. That includes seldom seen original artworks and behind-the-scenes collection. A couple of the items on view include a steamboat whistle (汽笛) from Steamboat Willie(which marked Mickey’s film debut).(客人能期待什么？来自华特迪士尼档案馆的物品以及250多件迪士尼“皇冠珠宝”。其中包括罕见的原创艺术品和幕后收藏。展出的几件物品包括威利汽船上的汽船汽笛(这标志着米奇的电影处女作)。)”可知，人们在展览中能看到一个很旧的汽笛。故选A。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据Admission & Tickets部分中第三段“Looking to save on tickets? Consider visiting during the exhibition’s evening hours, which run from 5 to 8 p. m. Tickets run $25 per person and do not include admission to the rest of the museum.(想省钱吗？考虑在晚上5点到8点的展览时间参观。门票每人25美元，不包括博物馆其他部分的门票。)”可知，晚上的票价格很低。故选D。 B Sylvain Saudan’s skiing was so alarmingly ambitious that people struggled to believe his accomplishments were real. The Swiss extreme skiing pioneer became the first to successfully rush down the Spencer Couloir’s 55-degree slope (斜坡) — with more than 200 turns, at speeds close to freefall on France’s Aiguille de Blaitière mountain in 1967. Locals didn’t trust that he’d really done it until a plane flew over the mountain and took photos of his ski tracks. Nicknamed the “skier of the impossible,” Saudan sought out slopes from the Himalayas to the Alps, often reaching the peaks by helicopter. But in 1982, he climbed for 25 days to reach the 26, 500-foot summit of Pakistan’s Gasherbrum I, searching for virgin areas in its natural state. “The first to dare something are the real adventurers,” he said in 2016. “It’s the first that counts.” Raised on a farm in the Alps, Saudan didn’t have the resources to train as a competitive skier, and worked as a laborer and truck driver before becoming a ski instructor. Teaching through icy winters in Scotland helped prepare him for deadly slopes. After skiing the Spencer Couloir, he spent two decades “seeking greater challenges and testing new methods,” said The Washington Post. He developed a new skiing style and introduced equipment innovations for steep slopes, but ignored safety precautions as he shot down Oregon’s Mount Hood, Tanzania’s Mount Kilimanjaro, and Nepal’s Dhaulagiri. Saudan completed his last major expedition in 1986 by skiing down Mount Fuji on bare rocks, walking away without a single cut. He “spent his life challenging gravity, avalanches, and obituary (讣告) writers,” said The New York Times. He insisted that mental preparation helped keep fear cornered, yet death was never far from his mind. “There’s really only one way out,” he said: “Don’t fall down.” 4. How did people react to Saudan’s achievement on the Spencer Couloir’s 55-degree slope? A. They thought of him as a skiing pioneer. B. They considered it as a fact at once. C. They were ignorant of it completely. D. They doubted it till evidence arrived. 5. Which of the following can best describe Saudan? A. Brave and generous. B. Adventurous and devoted. C. Creative but timid. D. Reserved but famous. 6. Why did Saudan go skiing? A. To escape his past life as a laborer. B. To push himself to new limits. C. To document adventures for fame. D. To test new skiing equipment. 7. What does The New York Times imply about Saudan? A. He faced extreme dangers in his career. B. He was cautious during his expeditions. C. His skiing methods were widely accepted. D. His achievements were often questioned. 【答案】4. D 5. B 6. B 7. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了瑞士极限滑雪先驱西尔万·索丹的滑雪生涯，包括他在斯宾塞雪槽55度斜坡上的惊人成就、他对滑雪的热爱和追求以及他面对的危险。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Locals didn’t trust that he’d really done it until a plane flew over the mountain and took photos of his ski tracks.(当地人并不相信他真的做到了，直到一架飞机飞过山顶并拍下了他的滑雪轨迹)”可知，人们直到看到证据才相信索丹在斯宾塞雪槽55度斜坡上的成就。故选D项。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“Sylvain Saudan’s skiing was so alarmingly ambitious that people struggled to believe his accomplishments were real.(西尔万·索丹对滑雪成就是如此雄心勃勃，以至于人们很难相信他的成就是真实的)”和他所说的话“The first to dare something are the real adventurers.(第一个敢于尝试的人才是真正的冒险家)”可推知，索丹具有冒险精神。再根据第二段中“After skiing the Spencer Couloir, he spent two decades ‘seeking greater challenges and testing new methods,’ said The Washington Post. He developed a new skiing style and introduced equipment innovations for steep slopes, but ignored safety precautions as he shot down Oregon’s Mount Hood, Tanzania’s Mount Kilimanjaro, and Nepal’s Dhaulagiri.(《华盛顿邮报》说，在斯宾塞库卢瓦滑雪后，他花了20年时间寻求更大的挑战，并尝试新的方法。他开发了一种新的滑雪风格，并为陡峭的斜坡引进了创新的设备，但他忽视了安全预防措施，比如他成功地降落了俄勒冈州的胡德山、坦桑尼亚的乞力马扎罗山和尼泊尔的道拉吉里山)”可推知，索热衷于滑雪。综上，索丹具有冒险精神且热衷于滑雪。故选B项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中西尔万·索丹的话“The first to dare something are the real adventurers.(第一个敢于尝试的人才是真正的冒险家)”、第二段中“After skiing the Spencer Couloir, he spent two decades ‘seeking greater challenges and testing new methods,’(在斯宾塞库卢瓦滑雪后，他花了二十年时间‘寻求更大的挑战和测试新方法’)”和最后一段中“He ‘spent his life challenging gravity, avalanches, and obituary (讣告) writers,’ said The New York Times.(他‘一生都在挑战重力、雪崩和讣告作者们，’《纽约时报》说。)”可推知，索丹热衷于冒险，滑雪是为了不断挑战自己，把自己推向新的极限。故选B项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“He ‘spent his life challenging gravity, avalanches, and obituary (讣告) writers,’ said The New York Times. He insisted that mental preparation helped keep fear cornered, yet death was never far from his mind.(他‘一生都在挑战重力、雪崩和讣告作者们，’《纽约时报》说。他坚持认为，心理上准备有助于控制恐惧，但死亡从未远离他的脑海)”可推知，《纽约时报》暗示索丹在职业生涯中一直在挑战极限，随时准备着讣告，面临着极端的危险。故选A项。 C OpenAI, the company behind the artificial intelligence tool ChatGPT, has set out restructuring plans to make it easier for it to raise money and remove restrictions made by its non-profit parent (母公司). OpenAI reveals its for-profit unit would become a public benefit corporation, a company required to consider the interests of society as well as shareholder (股东) value. The non-profit parent would have “a significant interest” in the public benefit corporation, OpenAI said in a blog-post, adding that it would be one of the “best resourced non-profits in history.” OpenAI has been looking to make changes to its rules to make it easier for investors to profit when they inject new investment into the firm. OpenAI was founded in 2015 as a research-focused non-profit but created a for-profit unit four years later to secure funding for the high costs of AI development. Its unusual structure gave control of the for-profit unit to the non-profit. A $6.6 billion fundraising by OpenAI, which valued it at $157 billion, was conditional on it being able to remove a profit limit and move towards being a more conventional company. “We again need to raise more money than we’d imagined. Investors want to back us but they need conventional equity (股东权益) and a less unique structure,” OpenAI said. “The hundreds of billions of dollars that companies are investing into AI show what it will take for OpenAI to continue pursuing the mission.” “This is the critical step the company needs in order to continue fundraising,” said Gil Luria, analyst with DA Davidson & Co. The key to the announcement, he said, was that the for-profit side of OpenAI “will run and control OpenAI’s operations and business.” For its AI competitors, it’s a different matter. Musk, an OpenAI co-founder, is trying to preclude the plan, as is Meta Platforms, which is developing a competitor against ChatGPT named Meta AI. 8. What is a public benefit corporation required to do? A. Operate its non-profit parent independently. B. Focus only on maximizing shareholder value. C. Reduce the amount of money raised from investors. D. Combine the interests of society and shareholder value. 9. Why does OpenAI believe it needs to restructure its operations in paragraph 5? A. To attract more investors and simplify the structure. B. To push forward its development goals on AI safety. C. To settle conflicts with its non-profit parent organization. D. To prevent competitors from taking control of its operations. 10. What does the underlined word “preclude” in paragraph 6 mean? A. Design. B. Prevent. C. Back. D. Follow. 11. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. OpenAI to Keep Influencing Shareholders. B. OpenAI to Defend ChatGPT from Criticism. C. OpenAI to Relax Control over Its For-Profit Unit. D. OpenAI to Spend Funds on Artificial Intelligence. 【答案】8. D 9. A 10. B 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要讲述了OpenAI计划重组以放松对其营利性部门的控制。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“OpenAI reveals its for-profit unit would become a public benefit corporation, a company required to consider the interests of society as well as shareholder value. (OpenAI透露，其营利性部门将成为一家公益公司，这类公司需要考虑社会利益以及股东价值)”可知，公益公司需要兼顾社会利益和股东价值。故选D。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段中““We again need to raise more money than we’d imagined. Investors want to back us but they need conventional equity and a less unique structure,” OpenAI said. “The hundreds of billions of dollars that companies are investing into AI show what it will take for OpenAI to continue pursuing the mission.”(“我们再次需要筹集比我们想象的更多的资金。投资者想要支持我们，但他们需要传统股权和不那么独特的结构，”OpenAI表示。“企业在人工智能领域投资的数千亿美元表明，OpenAI将继续追求这一使命。”)”可知，OpenAI认为需要重组运营是为了吸引更多投资者并简化结构。故选A。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第六段中“Musk, an OpenAI co-founder, is trying to preclude the plan, as is Meta Platforms, which is developing a competitor against ChatGPT named Meta AI.(OpenAI联合创始人马斯克正试图preclude这一计划，开发ChatGPT竞争对手Meta AI的Meta Platforms也是如此。)”可知，马斯克和Meta Platforms都在对OpenAI的计划采取阻止行动，因此preclude在此处意为“阻止”，与prevent意义相近。故选B。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，结合第一段“OpenAI, the company behind the artificial intelligence tool ChatGPT, has set out restructuring plans to make it easier for it to raise money and remove restrictions made by its non-profit parent.(人工智能工具ChatGPT背后的公司OpenAI已经制定了重组计划，以便更容易筹集资金，并取消其非营利性母公司施加的限制。)”可知，文章主要讲述了OpenAI计划重组以放松对其营利性部门的控制。C选项“OpenAI to Relax Control over Its For-Profit Unit (OpenAI放松对其营利性部门的控制)”最符合文章主旨，适合做文章标题。故选C。 D For much of history, the practice of art was mysterious, and artists were viewed as being somewhat odd and often mad. Even the word most commonly associated with artists — inspiration — has its own magical qualities. Literally, the word “inspiration” means the breathing-in of a spirit. Artists were thought of as people who were uniquely inspired to create. Many artists credited their talents to the presence of some supernatural power. The Romantic poets believed that art was a term that meant an ultimate expression of beauty and truth. The search for this ideal led them to explore both natural and supernatural themes in their works. Another persistent view of art regarded its divorce from logic. Reason and logic were the province of scientists and philosophers, whereas creativity and insight were the area of the artists. The two separate aspects of the mind were supposed to remain distinct. But in 1704, a major breakthrough occurred. Sir Isaac Newton, mathematician and physicist, published his study of light, Opticks. One of Newton’s major discoveries was on the nature of color. Using a prism (棱镜), Newton provided a scientific explanation for the presence of rainbows. The artistic community was shocked. A scientist had ventured into their sacred territory. More than a hundred years later, John Keats, one of the most famous Romantic poets, accused Newton of reducing beauty by “unweaving the rainbow”. His colleague, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, famously remarked that the souls of five hundred Newtons would be needed to make one Shakespeare. And yet, from another perspective, Newton did not reduce the beauty of the rainbow; he enhanced it. In his search to uncover the secrets of the rainbow, Newton demonstrated the wonder, creativity, and inspiration of an artist. His discovery also paved the way for the development of spectroscopy, a way of analyzing the chemical makeup of light. Now scientists can look at the stars and know their composition. The sense of wonder this ability creates is not much different from the wonder the poet or artist feels when staring at those same stars. 12. According to the passage, what was the common view of artists in history? A. Their works focused on the supernatural. B. Their unique abilities came from within. C. They possessed both logic and magic. D. They were strange but indeed gifted. 13. How did the Romantic poets react to Newton’s discovery about light and color? A. They credited Newton’s insights to mystical influences. B. They felt it faded the poetic beauty of natural phenomena. C. They were inspired to integrate more scientific themes in their poetry. D. They believed it added a new dimension to the appreciation of beauty. 14. Why does the author mention John Keats’ and Samuel Taylor Coleridge’s views on Newton? A. To contrast their criticism with science’s artistic value. B. To highlight the effect of scientific breakthroughs on art. C. To show Romantic poets’ objection to scientific progress. D. To emphasize the superior creativity of poets over scientists. 15. Which of the following is the best title of the passage? A. Distinguishing Art from Science B. Isaac Newton’s Influence on Arts C Shared Wonder of Art and Science D. The Artistic Interpretation of Science 【答案】12. D 13. B 14. A 15. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了历史上艺术实践很神秘，艺术被认为与逻辑分离。但随着科学的进步，现在科学家对星星的研究也能带来和诗人、艺术家看到星星时类似的惊奇感，表明艺术和科学存在共同的惊奇之处 。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“For much of history, the practice of art was mysterious, and artists were viewed as being somewhat odd and often mad. Even the word most commonly associated with artists — inspiration — has its own magical qualities. Literally, the word “inspiration” means the breathing-in of a spirit. Artists were thought of as people who were uniquely inspired to create.(在历史上的大部分时间里，艺术实践都是神秘的，艺术家们被视为有些奇怪，往往是疯狂的。即使是最常与艺术家联系在一起的词——灵感——也有它自己神奇的特质。从字面上看，“灵感”这个词的意思是灵魂的吸入。艺术家被认为是具有独特创作灵感的人)”可知，历史上对艺术家的普遍看法是他们很奇怪，但确实很有天赋。故选D。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“More than a hundred years later, John Keats, one of the most famous Romantic poets, accused Newton of reducing beauty by “unweaving the rainbow”.(100多年后，最著名的浪漫主义诗人之一约翰·济慈指责牛顿“拆散彩虹”，降低了美)”可知，浪漫主义诗人认为牛顿关于光和颜色的发现淡化了自然现象的诗意之美。故选B。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“More than a hundred years later, John Keats, one of the most famous Romantic poets, accused Newton of reducing beauty by “unweaving the rainbow”. His colleague, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, famously remarked that the souls of five hundred Newtons would be needed to make one Shakespeare.

I was, nevertheless, talked into going on another fun-filled holiday in the wilderness. ____18____ Instead, we had a pop-up camper with comfortable beds and an air conditioner. My nature-loving friends had remembered to bring all the necessities of life. ___19___ We have done a lot of it since. Recently, we bought a twenty-eight-foot travel trailer complete with a bathroom and a built-in TV set. There is a separate bedroom, a modern kitchen with a refrigerator. The trailer even has matching carpet and curtains. ___20___ It must be true that sooner or later, everyone finds his or her way back to nature. I recommend that you find your way in style. A. This time there was no tent. B. Things are going to be improved. C. The trip they took me on was a rough one. D. I was to learn a lot about camping since then, however. E. I must say that I have certainly come to enjoy camping. F. After the trip, my family became quite interested in camping. G. There was no shade as the trees were no more than 3 feet tall. 【答案】16. D 17. C 18. A 19. F 20. E 【解析】 【分析】本文是一篇记叙文。作者讲述了自己近三年来逐渐改变了对野营的看法，从以前对野营活动嗤之以鼻，经过几次野营后慢慢喜欢上了野营，最后表达野营将逐渐成为人类回归自然的很好方式，建议人们找到属于自己的方式。 【16题详解】 上文 They had nothing in common with me 说明作者原来认为他不会成为野营者．而下文主要描述的是"我"从最开始进行"rough travel"到有了"pop-up camper"再到有了 trailer 的过程，在这过程中作者对野营的爱好逐步增加，对野营的相关知识也在逐步增长，上下文呈转折关系．D项意为"然而在那之后我将会学到关于野营的很多知识"，起到转折作用，引出下文，符合语境．故正确答案为D。 【17题详解】 由下文 We sleep in a tent，cooked over an open fire，and walked a long distance to take the shower and use the bathroom 可知，"我"的野营条件非常艰苦．C项意为"他们带我去的旅途非常艰苦"，引出下文，符合语境．故正确答案为C。 【18题详解】 由下文 Instead，we had a pop-up camper with comfortable beds and an air conditioner 可知，空格处是与下文形成转折的内容，而"我"此次旅行用了展开式营房．A项意为"这一次没有帐篷"，与下文形成转折，符合语境．故正确答案为A。 【19题详解】 由第三段第一句 going on another fun-filled holiday 可知，"我"对这次旅行非常满意，而由下文 We have done a lot of it since 可知，"我们"都爱上了野营．F项意为"从这里旅行后，我全家都对野营产生了巨大的兴趣"，承上启下，符合语境．故正确答案为F。 【20题详解】 由下文 sooner or later，everyone finds his or her way back to nature 可知，"我"希望每个人都能找到回归自然，也就是野营的个性化选择．形成这一观点的前提是"我"自己已经爱上了野营．E项意为"我必须承认我已经开始享受野营了"，引出下文，符合语境．故正确答案为E。 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，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 No doubt we all have experienced frustration (受挫).

He has been drawing crowds to the race track for years. But his rise to fame isn’t just being fast on the speedway. He’s breaking barriers on the track for those with disabilities. Riley has autism (自闭症). Simple tasks like tying his shoes are extremely complicated for him, but when you put him in a race car — a complex, delicate piece of machinery — he’ll blow your mind. I first met Riley and his father Jason at the local karting (卡丁车运动) track in 2014. I still remember how excited Riley was to have me and my cameraman there filming his every move. He was a karting car racer back then. He could barely talk to me, let alone look at me. However, even though Riley was quiet and shy, I knew he was going to be something big. The karting track is where Riley’s racing care er began. His dad just wanted to give him something to focus his energy on. Riley has always loved cars. He has been enthusiastic about them since he started to learn to walk. So why not try karting? The minute Riley hit the gas, he was attracted. Little did Riley and his father realize this was going to change their lives forever. In Riley’s mind, everything moves fast. Slowing things down makes things difficult and frustrating. But the minute Riley slid into that karting car, everything went well. He’d found his calling and it put him on the podium (领奖台), so many times that he would need a separate room just for his trophies (奖杯). Riley’s journey on the track soon took him from fast karting cars to really fast cars. He became the first person with autism in Canada to get his race car licence. It opened up the track for Riley to drive in the big leagues. Riley was now racing across North America, making the podium almost every time. He was an impressive force on the track, but an even more impressive person off the track. 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。 When Riley started winning race after race, people wanted to know who this kid was. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Riley’s story brought a ray of hope to families having children with autism. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】When Riley started winning race after race, people wanted to know who this kid was. They were amazed by his incredible talent and the way he maneuvered the car with such precision and control. Despite the challenges he faced in his daily life, Riley’s passion for racing shone through, inspiring others to see beyond the limitations that autism can impose. His success on the track not only earned him admiration from his peers but also served as a powerful reminder that individuals with disabilities have immense potential waiting to be unlocked. Riley’s story quickly spread, and he became a symbol of inspiration, showing that with the right support and opportunities, anyone can excel in their chosen field. Riley’s story brought a ray of hope to families having children with autism. It showed them that their children, too, could find their unique talents and passions, and that these could be nurtured to achieve great things. For many, Riley became a beacon of inspiration, proving that autism is not a barrier to success but rather a part of a person’s identity that can coexist with their strengths and abilities. His journey encouraged conversations about inclusivity and the importance of providing equal opportunities for everyone, regardless of their disabilities. Riley’s impact extended beyond the race track, fostering a more accepting and supportive environment for all. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了赛车手Austin Riley的成长经历、赛车生涯以及他对社会和自闭症群体的积极影响，展现了其个人特点和成就。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“当Riley开始赢得一场又一场比赛时，人们都想知道这个孩子是谁。”以及第二段首句内容“Riley的故事给有自闭症儿童的家庭带来了一线希望。”可知，第一段可描写Riley的事迹传开后对人们的影响。 ②由第二段首句内容“Riley的故事给有自闭症儿童的家庭带来了一线希望。”可知，第二段可描写Riley激励了自闭症患者，也告诉了世人，每个人都有发展的可能。 2.续写线索：Riley是个自闭症患者，可是他成为了一个杰出的赛车手——Riley是在父亲的带领下观看赛车比赛的——第一次的观看让Riley想自己尝试一下——在父亲的鼓励下，Riley开始赛车手生涯——Riley很快成为加拿大第一个获得赛车执照的自闭症患者，他开始频繁获奖——当人们知道了Riley的故事后，都被他的故事打动——Riley希望自己的成功能够激励更多自闭症患者 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①面临、面对：face/encounter ②擅长：excel in/do well in/be good at ③获得：achieve/gain 情绪类 ①惊讶的：amazed/surprised ②欣赏：admiration/appreciation 【点睛】【高分句型1】Despite the challenges he faced in his daily life, Riley’s passion for racing shone through, inspiring others to see beyond the limitations that autism can impose.（运用了省略关系代词的定语从句和that引导的定语从句） 【高分句型2】Riley’s story quickly spread, and he became a symbol of inspiration, showing that with the right support and opportunities, anyone can excel in their chosen field.（运用了that引导的宾语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
