Unfortunately, my height far outpaced both my coordination (协调性) and academic skills. I became the class clown, struggling with arithmetic, spelling, and reading. Recess (课间休息) was worse: while peers raced through games and sports, I stumbled over my own feet — Clumsy was my middle name. Each afternoon, Miss Liston concluded the day by reading to the class for fifteen minutes. I’d sigh with relief at the end of another embarrassing day, losing myself in her voice and the story, usually a chapter from a novel. If I could read with ease I could find my way to happier places and times. Miss Liston apparently noticed my absorbed attention. I don’t remember how she took me under her wing but by the time I moved on to fifth grade I was reading at an eighth-grade level. My self-image, self-esteem, and life path were changed forever. In my junior year of college, I dropped out. I took a job as a newspaper reporter, only to discover that while I had a desire to be a journalist, I lacked both the education and talent to succeed. Five years of struggling to craft a single good sentence were enough — I quit writing. But I couldn’t survive on hunger or good looks, so I trained as a registered nurse. One evening, an ambulance delivered an elderly woman who’d suffered a stroke. As I approached, the medical assistant reported: “Seventy-eight-year-old Agnes Liston, found at home by neighbors...” I recognized Miss Liston’s slackened face. I smiled softly, “Hello, Miss Liston. It’s Tommy Schwarz. Do you remember me?” She stared, her facial muscles twitching faintly. I learned she’d outlived her family and friends; no one visited during her hospitalization. For three days, I sat by her bedside, reading aloud. She couldn’t communicate, but her calm demeanor (举止) suggested comfort. I felt privileged to give back in a direct and personal way to someone who had loved and helped me so much. 24. What can be inferred about the author in fourth grade? A. He had a sense of being out of place. B. He didn’t get along well with others. C. He preferred to act as a funny clown. D. He was proud of his physical advantage. 25. How did Miss Liston influence the author’s life? A. She inspired his career in nursing. B. She unlocked his potential for reading. C. She taught him to embrace his uniqueness. D. She helped him resolve family conflicts. 26. Why did the author abandon his career as a journalist? A. He lost interest in current events. B. He was offered a better-paying job. C. He couldn’t handle the work pressure. D. He failed to develop essential writing skills. 27. What made reading to Miss Liston a meaningful experience for the author? A. It reminded him of the joy of reading. B. It helped him reconnect with his childhood. C. It gave him a chance to repay her kindness. D. It allowed him to showcase his nursing skills. C Experts have long known that reading skills develop before kindergarten, but new research from the Harvard Graduate School of Education suggests they may begin as early as infancy (幼儿期). The study, led by Nadine Gaab, found that developmental trajectories (轨迹) between children with and without reading disabilities start to differ around 18 months of age. It stresses the need for early identification, early intervention, and improved early literacy courses in preschools. Gaab explained some children enter kindergarten with a less-developed brain for learning to read, and that these differences appear in toddlerhood. “We’re currently waiting until second or third grade to find kids who are struggling readers,” she said. “We should intervene way earlier because we know the younger a brain is, the more plastic it is for language input.” Gaab and her co-authors worked with 130 participants, starting as early as 3 months old. For over a decade, they used MRI scans to track brain development from infancy to childhood and its relation to literacy skills. Their sample included children from Boston and Canada, combined with data from the Calgary Preschool MRI Dataset. While other studies track brain development, this is the only longitudinal (纵向的) study that follows brain development from infancy with comprehensive literacy outcomes. “Those other studies had bigger sample sizes, but they were more focused on typical maturation,” said co-author Ted Turesky. “We didn’t see other studies that started in infancy, tracked brain maturation in the same set of kids for as long, and included academic outcome measures.” The findings suggest that children who struggle with reading may begin school already showing brain differences that affect literacy learning. Gaab emphasized that understanding when and how these differences arise could help improve early screening and support. She believes such basic research can inform education policy and help more children succeed in reading from the start. 28. What does the new study find about reading disabilities? A. They emerge after kindergarten. B. They change a person’s character. C. They are tough to identify early. D. They appear much earlier than assumed. 29. What does the underlined word “plastic” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Difficult to damage. B. Easily influenced or changed. C. Capable of remembering things quickly. D. Especially suitable for acquiring new skills. 30. What about the study does paragraph 3 focus on? A. Its scientific bases. B. Its technology limitations. C. Its significance. D. Its process. 31. What can be inferred from Turesky’s words? A. Large sample sizes guarantee reliable findings. B. The findings may help shape courses in preschools. C. The longitudinal research method adopted is pioneering. D. Typical maturation should be involved in following studies. D History is one of those subjects that could be endless if we had enough time. There has always been an understanding that we learn history to stop it from being repeated, in a sense learning from past mistakes. However, as we have discovered, this is not entirely true. With the invasive (入侵的) and violent events still in existence in many parts of the world, we can see that humanity has not learnt from its past. History shows itself to repeat and it is important to learn history to see these chaotic repetitions. History is not just about strife—wars, revolutions, and struggles—but it is also a political and philosophical topic. A man named Peter Turchin has spent many years investigating how we can use history to our own benefit. In 2003 Turchin published his book “historical dynamics”. The book demonstrates his workings in which he shows the secular (世俗的) state of France and Russia from their origins to the 18th century. Not long after his book was published Turchin founded cliodynamics. Cliodynamics works to show the underlying patterns we can observe in history and model them in a way to make scientific estimates of how the future may play out. His use of mathematics has allowed scientists to develop a greater understanding of how political settings may occur or how societies will grow. Of course, it is simply impossible for any historian to predict the future, but by using this “big data” approach, Turchin has allowed individuals to locate patterns and use critical thinking to help make judgments about what the future may hold. Turchin as well as many others have used history in an important way to help future generations. As time passes, the databases will improve, highlighting more patterns and similarities, unavoidably helping to make these predictions more reliable. Could this approach to using data be the future of history and would we as a society be able to show the repetitions in humanity? 32. What does the underlined word “strife” in paragraph 2 mean? A. reflection. B. Conclusion. C. Account. D. Conflict. 33. What can be inferred from Turchin’s research? A. It intends to reveal state origins. B. It jumps out of historical cycles. C. It confirms history’s mirror values. D. It shows maths history similarities. 34. How does Turhin’s approach benefit historians? A. By providing first-hand data. B. By helping predict future trends. C. By ensuring precise future predictions. D. By fueling insights into certain events. 35. What is the author’s attitude toward predicting the future? A. Favorable. B. Objective. C. Unconcerned. D. Opposed. 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。 Temperatures are rising, and so are mental health risks Climate change is increasing heat waves, posing growing threats to health. Extreme heat is becoming a severe challenge across the U.S. and globally, with forecasts suggesting one of the next five years could be the hottest on record. 36 Even survivors may face long-term consequences. How does extreme heat affect the brain? 37 Dehydration (脱水) in high temperatures thickens blood, making it hard for the heart to supply enough oxygen to the brain. The brain, which uses 20% of the body’s energy, requires efficient heat release. In hot, damp conditions, sweating fails to cool the body, potentially causing heat exhaustion or a sudden serious illness, which can lead to nerve-related problems. Extreme heat also worsens mental health: conditions like depression and anxiety become worse. 38 Furthermore, the medicines used to treat the mental illness and sleeplessness also appear to increase mental health weakness to heat. 39 Those with existing mental health disorders are weakest. Older adults face accelerated serious mental illness that affects memory. Homeless individuals and outdoor workers such as farmers are particularly at risk, as they often lack access to cooling resources. Action is urgent. Most heat health plans ignore mental health. 40 These can include public awareness campaigns, such as warning people about the mental health risk of consuming alcohol or other drugs during heat waves. Other interventions include establishing community cooling shelters for heat emergencies and increasing monitoring of mental health patients during heat waves. Only through comprehensive strategies can we reduce the mental health impacts of extreme heat. A. Who is most at risk? B. The human body works best when at 37℃. C. How to identify those in danger during heat waves? D. It disturbs sleep, which further harms one’s ability to think. E. So mental health steps must be added to these heat response plans. F. Heat waves cause 1,300 U. S. deaths yearly from heat-related issues. G. Research is needed to better understand health outcomes of a warmer world. 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） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 In her first year of college, Karen was accepted into her university’s choir (合唱团) program.

John’s only hobby was wandering in the nearby picturesque forest. In its center was a shiny clear lake with schools of fish dancing in it. Lovely animals such as deer or rabbits were playing around and cute birds were singing in trees. Fascinated by the beauty and liveliness of nature, he desired to become a great artist and present all the breath-taking scenes to the world. John studied in the local primary school. Life was not easy for John and his mom after his father died. Knowing what hard work his mother did to make ends meet, John really didn’t want his mother to worry. His mother knew the significance of education in life but she was against his dream of becoming an artist. “The profession of artist can’t aid a person in meeting his daily expenses,” she would say. But as each day passed, John’s dream became more passionate. Due to the living circumstances, even buying some new colors would be a luxury. John only used the worn drawing file and limited colors for his daily practice. Though lacking fine painting materials, he never gave up drawing. He spent a significant amount of time staying in the forest, secretly perfecting his craft. With continuous hard work and a distinct gift for art, he drew beautifully. One day John read about a competition being held in the town, whose deadline was only two days away. He got the perfect opportunity to fulfill his desire but he was in a dilemma (两难境地) as for the competition he needed special paints and some brushes. He didn’t have the courage to ask his mother for money as he knew her prejudice against art. That evening his mom returned from work and handed him a few paper notes, saying, “This is for your lunch at school next month.” The money was enough for his desired materials! John’s face lit up. 注意： （1）续写词数应为150个左右； （2）请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Early the next morning, John secretly left home with the money. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ A week later, a phone call came to John’s home. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ( 1 ) 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2026届四川省会理第一中学高三上学期9月月考 英语试题 命题人：何超 王金凤 兔文秀 何其鲜 本试卷共150分，考试时间120分钟。考试结束后，将本试题和答题卡一并交回。 注意事项： 1. 答题前，考生先将自己的姓名、准考证号码填写清楚，将条形码准确粘贴在条形码区域内。 2. 选择题必须使用2B铅笔填涂；非选择题必须使用0. 5毫米黑色字迹的签字笔书写，字体工整，笔记清楚。 3. 请按照题号顺序在答题卡各题目的答题区域内作答，超出答题区域书写的答案无效；在草稿纸、试卷上答题无效。 4. 保持卡面清洁，不要折叠、不要弄破、弄皱，不准使用涂改液、修正带、刮纸刀。 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。 例：How much is the shirt?

The significance of the Panama Canal. 19. How long did it take the US to complete the Panama Canal? A. 10 years. B. 23 years. C. 33 years. 20. Why was the canal expanded in 2016? A. To connect more countries. B. To attract more commercial ships. C. To allow more ships to pass through. 【答案】18. C 19. A 20. C 【原文】And the next part of this talk is on the Panama Canal. It’s amazing how this one small section of a small country can be so important to the world. The Panama Canal is an artificial waterway in the Central American country of Panama that connects the Atlantic and Pacific Ocean. It is only 82 kilometres long. If you go around South America by ship, then you need to travel another 15,000 kilometres. So the canal saves a lot of travel time. It takes around 8 to 10 hours to cross the canal. The French started building the canal in 1881, but they couldn’t finish it. The project was started again in 1904 by the United States and the canal was finally finished in 1914. For the rest of the 20th century, the United States controlled the canal, but gave control back to Panama in 2000. Every year, around 40,000 ships come through the canal. These are mostly commercial ships. They transport goods for trade between Asia and America, or Europe. In 2016 the government of Panama made the canal bigger, so that now 99 per cent of ships can pass through it. Let’s now turn to the role of the Panama Canal in the global economy... 第二部分 阅读（共两节，满分50分） 第一节（共15小题：每小题2.5分，满分37.5分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A We’re happy to introduce News for Classroom Use: a weekly newsletter with a piece of news and activities based on it which you can use as a warm-up, a filler or a wrap-up task.

Unfortunately, my height far outpaced both my coordination (协调性) and academic skills. I became the class clown, struggling with arithmetic, spelling, and reading. Recess (课间休息) was worse: while peers raced through games and sports, I stumbled over my own feet — Clumsy was my middle name. Each afternoon, Miss Liston concluded the day by reading to the class for fifteen minutes. I’d sigh with relief at the end of another embarrassing day, losing myself in her voice and the story, usually a chapter from a novel. If I could read with ease I could find my way to happier places and times. Miss Liston apparently noticed my absorbed attention. I don’t remember how she took me under her wing but by the time I moved on to fifth grade I was reading at an eighth-grade level. My self-image, self-esteem, and life path were changed forever. In my junior year of college, I dropped out. I took a job as a newspaper reporter, only to discover that while I had a desire to be a journalist, I lacked both the education and talent to succeed. Five years of struggling to craft a single good sentence were enough — I quit writing. But I couldn’t survive on hunger or good looks, so I trained as a registered nurse. One evening, an ambulance delivered an elderly woman who’d suffered a stroke. As I approached, the medical assistant reported: “Seventy-eight-year-old Agnes Liston, found at home by neighbors...” I recognized Miss Liston’s slackened face. I smiled softly, “Hello, Miss Liston. It’s Tommy Schwarz. Do you remember me?” She stared, her facial muscles twitching faintly. I learned she’d outlived her family and friends; no one visited during her hospitalization. For three days, I sat by her bedside, reading aloud. She couldn’t communicate, but her calm demeanor (举止) suggested comfort. I felt privileged to give back in a direct and personal way to someone who had loved and helped me so much. 24. What can be inferred about the author in fourth grade? A. He had a sense of being out of place. B. He didn’t get along well with others. C. He preferred to act as a funny clown. D. He was proud of his physical advantage. 25. How did Miss Liston influence the author’s life? A. She inspired his career in nursing. B. She unlocked his potential for reading. C. She taught him to embrace his uniqueness. D. She helped him resolve family conflicts. 26. Why did the author abandon his career as a journalist? A. He lost interest in current events. B. He was offered a better-paying job. C. He couldn’t handle the work pressure. D. He failed to develop essential writing skills. 27. What made reading to Miss Liston a meaningful experience for the author? A. It reminded him of the joy of reading. B. It helped him reconnect with his childhood. C. It gave him a chance to repay her kindness. D. It allowed him to showcase his nursing skills. 【答案】24. A 25. B 26. D 27. C 【解析】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者在成长过程中如何因身材高大而缺乏自信，后在老师帮助下提升阅读能力，改变人生轨迹，并在成年后以护士身份回报恩师的故事。 24. 推理判断题。根据第一段“By fourth grade, I stood taller than my classmates — and even my teacher, Miss Liston. Unfortunately, my height far outpaced both my coordination (协调性) and academic skills. I became the class clown, struggling with arithmetic, spelling, and reading. Recess (课间休息) was worse: while peers raced through games and sports, I stumbled over my own feet — Clumsy was my middle name.(到了四年级的时候，我比同学们个子都高——甚至比我的老师利斯顿小姐还要高。但不幸的是，我的身高远远超过了我的协调能力以及学业成绩。我成了班级里的“小丑”，在算术、拼写和阅读方面都表现得很差。课间休息的时候情况更糟：同学们都在欢快地玩着游戏和进行体育活动，而我却总是跌跌撞撞——“笨拙”就是我的代名词)”可知，这位四年级学生有一种格格不入的感觉。故选A。 25. 推理判断题。根据第二段“If I could read with ease I could find my way to happier places and times. Miss Liston apparently noticed my absorbed attention. I don’t remember how she took me under her wing but by the time I moved on to fifth grade I was reading at an eighth-grade level. My self-image, self-esteem, and life path were changed forever.(如果我能轻松阅读的话，我就能找到更快乐的时光和环境。利斯顿小姐显然察觉到了我全神贯注的状态。我不记得她是如何庇护我的了，但在我升入五年级的时候，我的阅读水平已经达到了八年级的水平。我的自我形象、自尊心以及人生轨迹从此发生了彻底的改变)”可知，利斯顿小姐激发了作者阅读的潜力。故选B。 26. 细节理解题。根据第三段“I took a job as a newspaper reporter, only to discover that while I had a desire to be a journalist, I lacked both the education and talent to succeed. Five years of struggling to craft a single good sentence were enough — I quit writing. But I couldn’t survive on hunger or good looks, so I trained as a registered nurse.(我找了一份报纸记者的工作，却发现尽管自己渴望成为一名记者，但自己却既缺乏必要的教育背景，又缺乏成功的天赋。苦苦努力来撰写一整个好句子的五年时间已经足够让我放弃了写作。但我无法靠挨饿或靠美貌来维持生计，所以我就去学习了注册护士的专业知识)”可知，作者放弃了记者这一职业是因为他未能掌握必要的写作技巧。故选D。 27. 细节理解题。根据最后一段“For three days, I sat by her bedside, reading aloud. She couldn’t communicate, but her calm demeanor (举止) suggested comfort. I felt privileged to give back in a direct and personal way to someone who had loved and helped me so much.(整整三天，我坐在她的床边，大声为她朗读。她无法说话，但她沉着的神情显示出内心的平静。我深感荣幸，能够以一种直接而个人的方式回报这位曾如此关爱和帮助过我的人)”可知，朗读的意义在于回报她的善意。故选C。 C Experts have long known that reading skills develop before kindergarten, but new research from the Harvard Graduate School of Education suggests they may begin as early as infancy (幼儿期). The study, led by Nadine Gaab, found that developmental trajectories (轨迹) between children with and without reading disabilities start to differ around 18 months of age. It stresses the need for early identification, early intervention, and improved early literacy courses in preschools. Gaab explained some children enter kindergarten with a less-developed brain for learning to read, and that these differences appear in toddlerhood. “We’re currently waiting until second or third grade to find kids who are struggling readers,” she said. “We should intervene way earlier because we know the younger a brain is, the more plastic it is for language input.” Gaab and her co-authors worked with 130 participants, starting as early as 3 months old. For over a decade, they used MRI scans to track brain development from infancy to childhood and its relation to literacy skills. Their sample included children from Boston and Canada, combined with data from the Calgary Preschool MRI Dataset. While other studies track brain development, this is the only longitudinal (纵向的) study that follows brain development from infancy with comprehensive literacy outcomes. “Those other studies had bigger sample sizes, but they were more focused on typical maturation,” said co-author Ted Turesky. “We didn’t see other studies that started in infancy, tracked brain maturation in the same set of kids for as long, and included academic outcome measures.” The findings suggest that children who struggle with reading may begin school already showing brain differences that affect literacy learning. Gaab emphasized that understanding when and how these differences arise could help improve early screening and support. She believes such basic research can inform education policy and help more children succeed in reading from the start. 28. What does the new study find about reading disabilities? A. They emerge after kindergarten. B. They change a person’s character. C. They are tough to identify early. D. They appear much earlier than assumed. 29. What does the underlined word “plastic” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Difficult to damage. B. Easily influenced or changed. C. Capable of remembering things quickly. D. Especially suitable for acquiring new skills. 30. What about the study does paragraph 3 focus on? A. Its scientific bases. B. Its technology limitations. C. Its significance. D. Its process. 31. What can be inferred from Turesky’s words? A. Large sample sizes guarantee reliable findings. B. The findings may help shape courses in preschools. C. The longitudinal research method adopted is pioneering. D. Typical maturation should be involved in following studies. 【答案】28. D 29. B 30. D 31. C 【解析】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍一项关于儿童阅读障碍的长期研究发现，阅读发展差异可能在孩子18个月大时就已出现，强调了早期识别和干预的重要性，并指出该研究对教育政策具有重要启示。 28. 细节理解题。根据第一段“Experts have long known that reading skills develop before kindergarten, but new research from the Harvard Graduate School of Education suggests they may begin as early as infancy (幼儿期). The study, led by Nadine Gaab, found that developmental trajectories (轨迹) between children with and without reading disabilities start to differ around 18 months of age.(专家们早就知道阅读技能在幼儿园之前就开始发展，但哈佛大学教育研究生院的新研究表明，阅读技能可能早在幼儿期就开始发展。由纳丁・加布领导的这项研究发现，有阅读障碍和没有阅读障碍的儿童的发展轨迹在18个月大左右开始出现差异。)”可知，阅读障碍出现的时间比之前认为的要早得多。故选D。 29. 词句猜测题。根据第二段“We should intervene way earlier because we know the younger a brain is, the more plastic it is for language input.(我们应该更早地进行干预，因为我们知道大脑越年轻，对语言输入就越plastic。)”以及上文内容可知，年龄越小，大脑对语言输入的可塑性越强，即更容易受语言输入的影响和改变。所以猜测plastic在此处表示“易受影响或改变的”。故选B。 30. 主旨大意题。根据第三段“Gaab and her co-authors worked with 130 participants, starting as early as 3 months old. For over a decade, they used MRI scans to track brain development from infancy to childhood and its relation to literacy skills. Their sample included children from Boston and Canada, combined with data from the Calgary Preschool MRI Dataset.(加布和她的合著者从3个月大的130名参与者开始研究。在十多年的时间里，他们使用核磁共振扫描来追踪从婴儿期到儿童期的大脑发育及其与读写能力的关系。他们的样本包括来自波士顿和加拿大的儿童，并结合了卡尔加里学前核磁共振数据集的数据。)”可知，本段主要讲述了研究的过程，包括研究对象、研究时间、研究方法以及数据来源等。故选D。 31. 推理判断题。根据第四段““Those other studies had bigger sample sizes, but they were more focused on typical maturation,” said co-author Ted Turesky. “We didn’t see other studies that started in infancy, tracked brain maturation in the same set of kids for as long, and included academic outcome measures.”(合著者泰德・图雷斯基说：“其他那些研究样本量更大，但它们更关注典型的成熟过程。我们没有看到其他从婴儿期开始，长期追踪同一组孩子大脑成熟过程，并纳入学业成果测量的研究。”)”可知，图雷斯基的话表明该研究采用的纵向研究方法具有开创性。故选C。 D History is one of those subjects that could be endless if we had enough time. There has always been an understanding that we learn history to stop it from being repeated, in a sense learning from past mistakes. However, as we have discovered, this is not entirely true. With the invasive (入侵的) and violent events still in existence in many parts of the world, we can see that humanity has not learnt from its past. History shows itself to repeat and it is important to learn history to see these chaotic repetitions. History is not just about strife—wars, revolutions, and struggles—but it is also a political and philosophical topic. A man named Peter Turchin has spent many years investigating how we can use history to our own benefit. In 2003 Turchin published his book “historical dynamics”. The book demonstrates his workings in which he shows the secular (世俗的) state of France and Russia from their origins to the 18th century. Not long after his book was published Turchin founded cliodynamics. Cliodynamics works to show the underlying patterns we can observe in history and model them in a way to make scientific estimates of how the future may play out. His use of mathematics has allowed scientists to develop a greater understanding of how political settings may occur or how societies will grow. Of course, it is simply impossible for any historian to predict the future, but by using this “big data” approach, Turchin has allowed individuals to locate patterns and use critical thinking to help make judgments about what the future may hold. Turchin as well as many others have used history in an important way to help future generations. As time passes, the databases will improve, highlighting more patterns and similarities, unavoidably helping to make these predictions more reliable. Could this approach to using data be the future of history and would we as a society be able to show the repetitions in humanity? 32. What does the underlined word “strife” in paragraph 2 mean? A. reflection. B. Conclusion. C. Account. D. Conflict. 33. What can be inferred from Turchin’s research? A. It intends to reveal state origins. B. It jumps out of historical cycles. C. It confirms history’s mirror values. D. It shows maths history similarities. 34. How does Turhin’s approach benefit historians? A. By providing first-hand data. B. By helping predict future trends. C. By ensuring precise future predictions. D. By fueling insights into certain events. 35. What is the author’s attitude toward predicting the future? A. Favorable. B. Objective. C. Unconcerned. D. Opposed. 【答案】32. D 33. C 34. B 35. B 【解析】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍学习历史的意义、彼得·图尔钦的研究及历史大数据方法对未来的意义。 32. 词句猜测题。根据第二段中的“History is not just about strife—wars, revolutions, and struggles—but it is also a political and philosophical topic.(历史不仅仅与strife有关——战争、革命和斗争——它还是一个政治和哲学话题。)”可知，破折号后“wars（战争）、revolutions（革命）、struggles（斗争）”均为并列的名词，是对“strife”的解释说明，这些词汇都带有“冲突、争斗”的含义，因此“strife”意为“冲突”，与“Conflict”意思相近。故选D项。 33. 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“we learn history to stop it from being repeated, in a sense learning from past mistakes (从某种意义上说，我们学习历史是为了防止历史重演，从过去的错误中吸取教训)”，以及第三段中的“Cliodynamics works to show the underlying patterns we can observe in history and model them in a way to make scientific estimates of how the future may play out(历史动力学旨在揭示我们在历史中能观察到的潜在模式，并通过建模对未来可能的发展做出科学预测)”可知，图尔钦的研究通过分析历史模式为未来提供参考，本质上印证了历史“以史为鉴”的价值，即历史的镜子作用。故选C项。 34. 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Cliodynamics works to show the underlying patterns we can observe in history and model them in a way to make scientific estimates of how the future may play out(历史动力学旨在揭示我们在历史中能观察到的潜在模式，并通过建模对未来可能的发展做出科学预测)”和第四段中的“by using this “big data” approach, Turchin has allowed individuals to locate patterns and use critical thinking to help make judgments about what the future may hold（通过这种“大数据”方法，图尔钦让人们能够找到模式，并运用批判性思维帮助判断未来可能发生的事情)”可知，图尔钦的方法通过分析历史模式帮助历史学家对未来趋势做出判断和预测。故选B项。 35. 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“it is simply impossible for any historian to predict the future, but by using this “big data” approach, Turchin has allowed individuals to locate patterns and use critical thinking to help make judgments about what the future may hold (任何历史学家都不可能预测未来，但通过这种“大数据”方法，图尔钦让人们能够找到模式，并运用批判性思维帮助判断未来可能发生的事情)”和第五段中的“Could this approach to using data be the future of history and would we as a society be able to show the repetitions in humanity(这种数据运用方法会是历史研究的未来吗？我们的社会能否借此揭示人类历史的重复性？)”可知，作者既客观指出“预测未来不可能”，又认可大数据方法对判断未来的帮助，还以疑问形式理性探讨该方法的前景，态度中立客观。故选B项。 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。 Temperatures are rising, and so are mental health risks Climate change is increasing heat waves, posing growing threats to health. Extreme heat is becoming a severe challenge across the U.S. and globally, with forecasts suggesting one of the next five years could be the hottest on record. 36 Even survivors may face long-term consequences. How does extreme heat affect the brain? 37 Dehydration (脱水) in high temperatures thickens blood, making it hard for the heart to supply enough oxygen to the brain. The brain, which uses 20% of the body’s energy, requires efficient heat release. In hot, damp conditions, sweating fails to cool the body, potentially causing heat exhaustion or a sudden serious illness, which can lead to nerve-related problems. Extreme heat also worsens mental health: conditions like depression and anxiety become worse. 38 Furthermore, the medicines used to treat the mental illness and sleeplessness also appear to increase mental health weakness to heat. 39 Those with existing mental health disorders are weakest. Older adults face accelerated serious mental illness that affects memory. Homeless individuals and outdoor workers such as farmers are particularly at risk, as they often lack access to cooling resources. Action is urgent. Most heat health plans ignore mental health. 40 These can include public awareness campaigns, such as warning people about the mental health risk of consuming alcohol or other drugs during heat waves. Other interventions include establishing community cooling shelters for heat emergencies and increasing monitoring of mental health patients during heat waves. Only through comprehensive strategies can we reduce the mental health impacts of extreme heat. A. Who is most at risk? B. The human body works best when at 37℃. C. How to identify those in danger during heat waves? D. It disturbs sleep, which further harms one’s ability to think. E. So mental health steps must be added to these heat response plans. F. Heat waves cause 1,300 U. S. deaths yearly from heat-related issues. G. Research is needed to better understand health outcomes of a warmer world. 【答案】36. F 37. B 38. D 39. A 40. E 【解析】这是一篇说明文。本文介绍了气温上升与心理健康风险增加之间的关联，阐述了极端高温对大脑及心理健康的影响、易受影响的人群以及应对措施。 36. 上文“Extreme heat is becoming a severe challenge across the U.S. and globally, with forecasts suggesting one of the next five years could be the hottest on record. (极端高温正在成为美国乃至全球面临的严峻挑战，预测显示，未来五年中的某一年可能是有记录以来最热的一年)”提及极端高温带来严峻挑战，下文“Even survivors may face long-term consequences. (即使幸存者也可能面临长期后果)”提及幸存者也有长期影响，F项“热浪每年导致美国1300人死于与高温相关的问题”，承接上文极端高温的严重性，引出下文幸存者的情况。故选F。 37. 上文“How does extreme heat affect the brain? (极端高温是如何影响大脑的？)”提出极端高温如何影响大脑的问题，下文“Dehydration (脱水) in high temperatures thickens blood, making it hard for the heart to supply enough oxygen to the brain. (高温下脱水会使血液变稠，使心脏难以向大脑提供足够的氧气)”开始解释高温下身体的变化对大脑的影响，B项“人体在 37 度时工作状态最佳”是从人体适宜温度的角度出发，为后文解释高温影响大脑做铺垫。故选B。 38. 上文“Extreme heat also worsens mental health: conditions like depression and anxiety become worse. (极端高温还会使心理健康变差：抑郁和焦虑等疾病变得更糟)”说明极端高温会恶化心理健康，D项“它扰乱睡眠，进而进一步损害人的思考能力”是对极端高温影响心理健康的进一步阐述。故选D。 39. 下文“Those with existing mental health disorders are weakest.

John’s only hobby was wandering in the nearby picturesque forest. In its center was a shiny clear lake with schools of fish dancing in it. Lovely animals such as deer or rabbits were playing around and cute birds were singing in trees. Fascinated by the beauty and liveliness of nature, he desired to become a great artist and present all the breath-taking scenes to the world. John studied in the local primary school. Life was not easy for John and his mom after his father died. Knowing what hard work his mother did to make ends meet, John really didn’t want his mother to worry. His mother knew the significance of education in life but she was against his dream of becoming an artist. “The profession of artist can’t aid a person in meeting his daily expenses,” she would say. But as each day passed, John’s dream became more passionate. Due to the living circumstances, even buying some new colors would be a luxury. John only used the worn drawing file and limited colors for his daily practice. Though lacking fine painting materials, he never gave up drawing. He spent a significant amount of time staying in the forest, secretly perfecting his craft. With continuous hard work and a distinct gift for art, he drew beautifully. One day John read about a competition being held in the town, whose deadline was only two days away. He got the perfect opportunity to fulfill his desire but he was in a dilemma (两难境地) as for the competition he needed special paints and some brushes. He didn’t have the courage to ask his mother for money as he knew her prejudice against art. That evening his mom returned from work and handed him a few paper notes, saying, “This is for your lunch at school next month.” The money was enough for his desired materials! John’s face lit up. 注意： （1）续写词数应为150个左右； （2）请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Early the next morning, John secretly left home with the money. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ A week later, a phone call came to John’s home. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Early the next morning, John secretly left home with the money. Hastily, he bought paper and pens for painting, and then dashed to the completion. After signing up for it, he was given the task. It was his time. He was deeply absorbed in his work, forgetting everything around him. After finishing his task, he went home, with birds singing for him. Every day, he looked forward to the result happily and anxiously, though he felt hungry. It seemed that the time stopped. A week later, a phone call came to John’s home. Hearing what the man said, his mother felt puzzled, not knowing how his son had done it, because she knew it needed money. As soon as John arrived home, his mother told him the news, and waited for his explanation. Knowing the truth, her eyes welled up with tears. Hugging her son tightly, she apologized to him. But he was happy, not only because he had got the perfect opportunity to fulfill his desire, but also he was awarded a lot of money because of his work. 【解析】本篇书面表达是读后续写。本文以人物为线索展开。 John喜欢画画，但是家里很穷。虽然母亲不支持他画画，但是他还是想尽办法坚持。有一天，他得知镇上正在举行绘画比赛，他很高兴，但是却没有钱买绘画用品。恰好这天妈妈给了他下个月的午餐费。这些钱足够买材料了。 【详解】 1. 段落续写： ①由第一段句首内容“第二天一早，约翰带着钱偷偷地离开了家。”可知，第一段可以描写约翰离开家后的活动和他的心理活动。 ②由第二段句首内容“一周后，一个电话打到了约翰的家。”可知，第二段可以描写约翰妈妈接到电话后的表情和心理活动，妈妈知道真相时的表情、动作和语言，最后升华文章的主旨：坚持会有回报。 2. 续写线索：离家—买东西—参赛—回家—得知消息—解释—回报 3. 词汇激活 (1)行为类 ①猛冲：dash/dart/leap ②全神贯注于：be absorbed in/ concentrate on ③期盼：look forward to/long for (2)情绪类 ①高兴的：happily/joyfully/delightedly ②焦急地：anxiously/nervously/worriedly 4. 高分句型 (1)He was deeply absorbed in his work, forgetting everything around him. (运用了现在分词forgetting作伴随状语) (2)After finishing his task, he went home, with birds singing for him. (运用了with复合结构) (3)Knowing the truth, her eyes welled up with tears.
