I teach cross-cultural management at the International Business School near Paris. For the last 15 years, I’ve studied how people in different parts of the world build trust, communicate, and make decisions especially in the workplace. While traveling in Tokyo recently with a colleague, I gave a short talk to a group of 20 managers. At the end, I asked whether there were any questions or comments. No hands went up, so I went to sit down. My colleague whispered to me, “I think there actually were some comments, Erin. Do you mind if I try?” I agreed, but I guessed it a waste of breath. He asked the group again. “Any comments or questions?” Still, no one raised a hand, but this time he looked very carefully at each person in the silent audience. Gesturing to one of them, he said, “Do you have something to add?” To my amazement, she responded “Yes, thank you.” and asked me a very interesting question. My colleague repeated this several times, looking directly at the audience and asking for more questions or comments. After the session, I asked my colleague, “How do you know that those people had questions?” He hesitated, not sure how to explain it, and then said, “it has to do with how bright their eyes are.” He continued, “In Japan, we don’t make as much direct eye contact as you do in the West. So when you asked if there were any comments, most people were not looking directly at you. But a few people in the group were looking right at you, and their eyes were bright. That indicates that they would be happy to have you call on them.” I thought to myself I would never have learned from my upbringing in Minnesota. Since then, I try to focus on understanding behavior in other cultures I encounter, and keep finding the bright eyes in the room. 4. What can we conclude from the first paragraph? A. The author enjoys traveling around the world. B. Life in Minnesota has made the author worn out. C. The author is somewhat familiar with different cultures. D. The author may start his own business in the future. 5. What was the author’s initial reaction when hearing the colleague’s whisper? A. He immediately went back to his seat and sat down. B. He thought his colleague had some questions to ask. C. He believed his colleague’s effort would be useless. D. He felt very grateful for his colleague’s suggestion. 6. Where does the author’s colleague probably come from? A. Japan. B. America. C. Africa. D. France. 7. Which is the proper title for the passage? A. Focusing on Behavior in Cultures B. Admiring the Beauty in the Eye C. Sharing Different Cultures in Tokyo D. Looking at Another Culture in the Eye 【答案】4. C 5. C 6. A 7. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文，主要介绍了作者在东京的一次演讲经历，通过同事的干预学到了日本文化中非语言沟通的重要性，特别是通过观察眼睛的亮度来判断听众是否愿意提问，从而强调了理解文化行为差异的重要性。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“I was born and raised in Minnesota, the USA, but as an adult I have mostly lived in Europe and Africa. I teach cross-cultural management at the International Business School near Paris. For the last 15 years, I’ve studied how people in different parts of the world build trust, communicate, and make decisions especially in the workplace. (我在美国明尼苏达州出生并长大，但成年后，我主要生活在欧洲和非洲。我在巴黎附近的一所国际商学院教授跨文化管理课程。过去15年来，我一直在研究世界各地的人们如何建立信任、沟通交流以及做决策，尤其是在工作场合中。)”可知，作者提到自己出生在明尼苏达，但成年后主要生活在欧洲和非洲，并教授跨文化管理，研究不同文化中的信任、沟通和决策。这表明作者对不同文化有相当多的经验和了解，因此可以推断作者对不同文化较为熟悉。故选C项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段关键句“My colleague whispered to me, “I think there actually were some comments, Erin. Do you mind if I try?” I agreed, but I guessed it a waste of breath. (同事低声对我说：“艾琳，我觉得其实有人有想法。我试试可以吗？”我同意了，但我觉得这是白费口舌。)”可知同事低声建议尝试提问时，作者表示同意但认为白费口舌，即认为同事的努力是徒劳的。故选C项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段同事的表述“In Japan, we don’t make as much direct eye contact as you do in the West. (在日本，我们不像西方人那样进行大量直接的眼神交流。)”句中使用第一人称“we”，表明同事是以“日本人”的身份描述本土文化习惯。故选A项。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。结合第四段最后一句“it has to do with how bright their eyes are (这和他们眼神的光亮程度有关。)”和最后一段第二句“Since then, I try to focus on understanding behavior in other cultures I encounter, and keep finding the bright eyes in the room. (从那以后，我尝试着专注于理解我所遇到的其他文化中的行为，并持续地去发现房间里那些发亮的眼神。)”可知同事之所以知道有人会提问是从明亮的眼睛里发现的，也是这件事启发了作者以后会在其他的文化环境中理解他们的行为，他也会努力寻找些明亮的眼睛，因此最符合文章主旨的题目是“ Looking at Another Culture in the Eye. (在眼睛里探索其他文化)”。故选D项。 C Imagine standing in front of a restaurant menu with countless options, each sounding appealing. You spend 20 minutes thinking, only to feel anxious that the dish you finally choose might not be the best one available. This is “FOBO” — the fear of a better option. “FOBO is the anxiety that something better will come along, which makes it difficult to commit to existing choices when making a decision,” said venture capitalist Patrick McGinnis, who came up with the term, “Especially if there are several options available, you worry that a better or even perfect choice might be out there, yet you struggle to choose just one.” While it’s important to weigh pros and cons and think through major decisions, FOBO keeps us caught in a loop (循环), forever chasing the unclear “what if”. The concept of FOBO is based on a mistaken belief that “the longer we look, the more options we will have, and this will somehow lead to a better outcome.” However, there’s no guarantee of this. Instead, people may wait so long that they end up losing good options and regret not making a choice sooner. Constantly second-guessing oneself and living in uncertainty can cause stress and exhaustion. Psychologist Patricia Dixon explains, “Mentally, FOBO can contribute to anxiety and depression, as the constant search for better options prevents individuals from fully enjoying their present circumstances. This mindset leads to dissatisfaction, weakens self-trust, and ultimately hinders personal growth and connection.” To overcome FOBO, the key is to streamline decision-making processes. Start by setting clear priorities and narrowing down your options to make choices easier. Limit the time spent on decisions to avoid overthinking, break down complex decisions into smaller, manageable parts, and gather only essential information. Trust your instincts (直觉) and embrace the idea of focusing on finding a “good enough” option rather than obsessing over perfection. Remind yourself that even if a better option appears later, you’ve already made progress. 8. Why do people experience FOBO? A. They want to make decisions quickly. B. They have few choices to select from. C. They fear missing out on a better option. D. They tend to take account of others’ views. 9. What is a potential impact of FOBO on individuals? A. It blocks their way to embracing different ideas. B. It weakens their ability to analyze complex issues. C. It prevents them from achieving a perfect outcome. D. It makes them dissatisfied with their current situation. 10. What does the underlined word “streamline” in the last paragraph probably mean? A. Extend. B. Abandon. C. Evaluate. D. Simplify. 11. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. FOBO: Decision-making Anxiety B. Deciding Wisely: Avoiding Regret C. FOBO: The Secret to Better Choices D. Refusing Overthinking: Trusting Yourself 【答案】8. C 9. D 10. D 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了“FOBO”这一决策焦虑现象，包括其定义、产生原因、对个人的影响以及应对方法。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“FOBO is the anxiety that something better will come along, which makes it difficult to commit to existing choices when making a decision (FOBO是一种焦虑，担心会有更好的东西出现，这使得在做出决定时难以坚持现有的选择)”和“Especially if there are several options available, you worry that a better or even perfect choice might be out there, yet you struggle to choose just one.(特别是如果有几个选择，你会担心会有一个更好甚至完美的选择在那里，但你又很难只选一个)”可知，人们会经历FOBO是因为他们害怕错过一个更好的选择。故选C项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Psychologist Patricia Dixon explains, “Mentally, FOBO can contribute to anxiety and depression, as the constant search for better options prevents individuals from fully enjoying their present circumstances. This mindset leads to dissatisfaction, weakens self-trust, and ultimately hinders personal growth and connection.”(心理学家Patricia Dixon解释说：“从心理上讲，FOBO会导致焦虑和抑郁，因为不断寻找更好的选择会阻止人们充分享受他们目前的状态。这种心态会导致不满，削弱自信，最终阻碍个人成长和人际关系。”)”可知，FOBO对个人的潜在影响是让他们对目前的情况不满意。故选D项。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词后文“Start by setting clear priorities and narrowing down your options to make choices easier. Limit the time spent on decisions to avoid overthinking, break down complex decisions into smaller, manageable parts, and gather only essential information.(首先设定明确的优先级，缩小你的选择范围，使选择更容易。限制做决定的时间以避免过度思考，将复杂的决定分解成更小的、可管理的部分，只收集必要的信息)”可知，本段主要介绍了克服FOBO的方法，即简化决策过程。故“To overcome FOBO, the key is to streamline decision-making processes.(要克服FOBO，关键是要streamline决策过程)”中划线词的意思是“简化”，与D项“Simplify”同义。故选D项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，结合第一段中“This is “FOBO” — the fear of a better option.(这就是“FOBO”——对更好的选择的恐惧)”可知，本文主要介绍了“FOBO”这一决策焦虑现象，包括其定义、产生原因、对个人的影响以及应对方法。故A项“FOBO：决策焦虑”最适合作为文章标题。故选A项。 D An Anna’s Hummingbird (蜂鸟) was seen in the forest in California recently. As it moved its head, its feathers changed colours in the sunlight. The Anna’s Hummingbird is a small hummingbird found along the west coast of North America. The male Anna’s Hummingbird has colourful feathers on its head and throat, which can appear red, pink, orange, or green. This has led to the assumption that the bird can actively change the colour of its feathers, but it is actually not the case. The colour shifts we see are caused by the structure of the feathers, not by changes to the actual colouring of the feathers. The tiny structures on the surface of the feathers interact with light waves to produce certain colours. Anna’s Hummingbird feathers have tiny structures called melanosomes (黑色素体) that look like stacked flat discs (圆片). These disc stacks are super thin, close to the size of the light waves we can see. When sunlight hits these discs, the light waves bounce and interact with each other. Some colours get brighter, while others cancel out, creating shining rainbow effects — similar to how soap bubbles. This “light dance” is why hummingbird feathers look so colourful! Unlike Anna’s Hummingbirds, some birds change the colour of their feathers in a different way. For example, the Western Tanager has yellow feathers on its head and body. During molting (蜕毛), it can absorb the yellow colour to reveal an orange-red colour underneath. Thus, while Anna’s Hummingbirds rely purely on the structures of feathers, other birds actively control the colour spread and feather movement to generate changeable feathers. The special feather structures in Anna’s Hummingbirds allow us to witness the diversity and wonder of the world. Next time you observe an Anna’s Hummingbird in the sun, watch closely as its throat seems to flash in rainbow colours. But remember — this magic is happening in the structures through physics, not biology. 12. What can we learn about Anna’s Hummingbirds according to the passage? A. Their migration happens along the coast of America. B. They move their ways towards the position of the sun. C. Their wings are covered with colourful feathers. D. They are unable to control the colour changes. 13. What causes the colour changes of Anna’s Hummingbirds? A. The high brightness of their feathers. B. The actual colouring of their feathers. C. The surface structure of their feathers. D. The seasonal changes of their feathers. 14. What can be inferred from paragraph 3 about the Western Tanager? A. It absorbs various light waves. B. It actively changes the colour of the feathers. C. It mainly generates the yellow colour feathers. D. It depends on its head to change colours. 15. What is the purpose of the last paragraph? A. To advocate for the conservation of Anna’s Hummingbirds. B To explain the biological process of feather colour changes. C. To highlight the diversity and wonder of physics in nature. D. To compare colour-changing ways among different birds. 【答案】12. D 13. C 14. B 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了安娜蜂鸟羽毛颜色变化的原理及与其他鸟类变色方式的区别，凸显自然中物理的奇妙。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“This has led to the assumption that the bird can actively change the colour of its feathers, but it is actually not the case.(这导致人们假设这种鸟能主动改变羽毛的颜色，但实际上并非如此)”可知，安娜蜂鸟无法控制颜色的变化。故选D。 13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“The colour shifts we see are caused by the structure of the feathers, not by changes to the actual colouring of the feathers.(我们看到的颜色变化是由羽毛的结构引起的，而不是由羽毛实际颜色的变化引起的)”可知，安娜蜂鸟羽毛颜色变化是由羽毛表面结构引起的。故选C。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“Unlike Anna’s Hummingbirds, some birds change the colour of their feathers in a different way. For example, the Western Tanager has yellow feathers on its head and body. During molting (蜕毛), it can absorb the yellow colour to reveal an orange-red colour underneath.(与安娜蜂鸟不同，有些鸟以不同的方式改变羽毛的颜色。例如，西方黄林莺的头部和身体上有黄色的羽毛。在蜕毛期间，它可以吸收黄色，露出下面的橙红色)”可知，西方黄林莺主动改变羽毛的颜色。故选B。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“The special feather structures in Anna’s Hummingbirds allow us to witness the diversity and wonder of the world.(安娜蜂鸟特殊的羽毛结构让我们见证了世界的多样性和奇妙)”以及“But remember — this magic is happening in the structures through physics, not biology.(但请记住——这种神奇是通过物理在结构中发生的，而不是生物学)”可知，最后一段的目的是强调自然中物理的多样性和奇妙。故选C。 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。 Whether things go right or wrong, feedback is always necessary. ____16____ However, providing effective feedback is not easy, as it typically requires several components. Now let’s examine each of them. Start on a positive note. Constructive criticism should always start on a positive note. It feels unfair and rude if someone tells you everything you did wrong without acknowledging your achievements. So when giving feedback, don’t just note the mistakes the receivers have made. ____17____ Be specific. Effective feedback needs to be specific. Inform the receivers precisely what aspects require improvement so they can identify and address those areas. For example, don’t say, “Your presentation was unclear. ” Instead, say something like, “The introduction of your presentation was a bit confusing. ____18____ ” This way, the receiver knows exactly what to concentrate on and can make more targeted improvements. ____19____ The whole point of feedback is to help someone make changes for the better. So you should provide ideas on how to improve. It’s crucial, however, to ensure that your ideas are actionable. For instance, “You need to work on your communication skills” sounds too general. It would be much better if you say, “Try practicing active listening and summarizing what others say to ensure you understand them fully. ” Be timely. ____20____ It only works if it happens very close to an issue arising. For example, say you’re with a coworker and notice something in the sales pitch he is working on. Instead of waiting for him to run into problems, provide the feedback right away. This gives the receiver the chance to make changes and avoid problems. A. Offer practical advice. B. Focus on making changes. C. It helps us learn from our mistakes and grow. D. It lacks a clear topic sentence at the beginning. E. Feedback isn’t of much use if it comes too late. F. The feedback acknowledges the hard work the person did. G. Instead, begin by recognizing their effort and what they got right. 【答案】16. C 17. G 18. D 19. A 20. E 【解析】 【分析】本文是说明文。主要说明了提供有效反馈的几个关键要素，包括以积极的方式开始、具体明确、提供实用的建议以及及时反馈。 【16题详解】 根据前文“Whether things go right or wrong, feedback is always necessary.(无论事情是对是错，反馈总是必要的)”以及后文“However, providing effective feedback is not easy, as it typically requires several components.(然而，提供有效的反馈并不容易，因为它通常需要几个组件)”可知，前文提到反馈是必要的，后文讲述有效的反馈并不容易，所以空处应填过渡句，C项“It helps us learn from our mistakes and grow.(它帮助我们从错误中学习和成长)”可知，承接上文，并和后文构成转折关系，符合文意。故选C项。 【17题详解】 设空位于段尾，应是对前文的总结，根据前文“Start on a positive note. Constructive criticism should always start on a positive note. It feels unfair and rude if someone tells you everything you did wrong without acknowledging your achievements. So when giving feedback, don’t just note the mistakes the receivers have made.(以积极的态度开始。建设性的批评应该总是以积极的语气开始。如果有人告诉你你做错了什么而不承认你的成就，你会觉得不公平和粗鲁。所以在给予反馈时，不要只注意到接受者所犯的错误)”可知，本段讲述反馈时，用积极的态度进行反馈，不要只注意到接受者所犯的错误，所以G项“Instead, begin by recognizing their effort and what they got right.(相反，从承认他们的努力和他们做对了什么开始)”和前文构成转折关系，是对前文的总结，符合文意。故选G项。 【18题详解】 设空位于引号内，应是承接前文内容，根据前文“Be specific. Effective feedback needs to be specific. Inform the receivers precisely what aspects require improvement so they can identify and address those areas. For example, don’t say, “Your presentation was unclear. ” Instead, say something like, “The introduction of your presentation was a bit confusing.”(要具体。有效的反馈必须是具体的。准确地告知接收者哪些方面需要改进，以便他们能够识别和解决这些领域。例如，不要说，“你的演讲很不清楚。”相反，你可以这样说：“你的介绍有点令人困惑”)”可知，D项“It lacks a clear topic sentence at the beginning.(开头缺少一个清晰的主题句)”符合本段主题，是对他人问题的具体反馈，说明演讲的具体问题。故选D项。 【19题详解】 设空位于段首，是本段的中心句，根据后文“The whole point of feedback is to help someone make changes for the better. So you should provide ideas on how to improve. It’s crucial, however, to ensure that your ideas are actionable. For instance, “You need to work on your communication skills” sounds too general. It would be much better if you say, “Try practicing active listening and summarizing what others say to ensure you understand them fully. ”(反馈的全部意义在于帮助别人做出更好的改变。所以你应该提供如何改进的想法。然而，确保你的想法是可行的是至关重要的。例如，“你需要提高你的沟通技巧”听起来太笼统了。如果你说：“试着练习积极倾听和总结别人说的话，以确保你完全理解他们。”)”可知，本段讲述反馈应提供实用的建议。A项“提供实用的建议”符合语境，故选A项。 【20题详解】 根据前文“Be timely.(要及时)”可知，本段讲述反馈需及时，所以E项“Feedback isn’t of much use if it comes too late.(如果反馈来得太晚，它就没有多大用处)”是对前文的解释，符合文意。故选E项。 第三部分 英语知识运用(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、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 When I was 12 years old, I already knew my teen years were going to be the worst years of my life.

(我是个彻头彻尾的局外人，在学校还总被人欺负) ”可知，作者在小镇上是个外人，感到非常孤独。故选D。 【22题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：实践仁慈的机会让我觉得我的人生有了更大的目标。A. accept 接受；B. remember 记得；C. return 返回；D. practise 实践。根据前文“turned my problem into a passion for helping others (将自身问题转化为帮助他人的热情) ”可知，作者将自身问题转化为帮助他人的热情，“帮助他人”本质就是“践行善意”，“practise kindness”为固定搭配，意为“践行善意”，故选D。 【23题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：我分享的正能量越多，得到的善意和感激就越多。A. wasted 浪费；B. shared 分享；C. lost 失去；D. left 离开。根据上文“The more positive energy (正能量越多) ”及下文“ the more kindness and ____4____ I received (我得到更多的善意) ”可知这两句话是因果关系，“收到更多善意”的前提应是“付出/分享更多正能量”，故选B。 【24题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：我分享的正能量越多，得到的善意和感激就越多。A. appreciation 感激；B. explanation 解释；C. discussion 讨论；D. description 描述。根据语境，“and”连接并列成分，表示的是顺承语意，空格处需与“kindness”同属“积极回馈”范畴，“appreciation (感激)”是他人对善意的回应。故选A。 【25题详解】 考查动词短语辨析。句意：我意识到我的人生目标是接触人们，尤其是青少年，帮助他们感觉不那么孤独。A. go out 出去；B. speak out 说出；C. reach out 接触，伸出；D. come out 出版。根据后文“help them feel less alone (让他们不那么孤独)”可知，实现这一目标需要“主动联系、帮助他人”，“reach out to sb”为固定搭配，意为“主动帮助/联系某人”，符合语境，故选C。 【26题详解】 考查形容词词义辨析。句意：那时，书籍是我真正的朋友。A. true 真的；B. generous 慷慨的；C. private 私人的；D. common 共同的。根据后文“friends back then”以及上文“I was a total outsider, bullied at school. (我是个彻头彻尾的局外人，在学校还总被人欺负) ”提到作者感到孤独，可推测书籍成了作者真正的朋友。故选A。 【27题详解】 考查形容词词义辨析。句意：我非常感谢作者们写了这些书。A. pitiful 可怜的；B. convinced 确信的；C. thankful 感谢的；D. excited 激动的。结合上文 “Books were my____6____ friends back then. (书籍是我真正的朋友)”可知书籍是作者的朋友，所以作者非常感谢书的作者们写了这些书。故选C。 【28题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：在经历了学校的可怕经历后，我决定在接下来的旅程中采取乐观、积极的态度。A. surviving （经历不幸）活下来；B. recalling 回忆；C. gaining 获得；D. increasing 增加。根据空后“terrible experiences at school (在学校的糟糕的经历)”及后文“positive road in the next steps of my journey (我人生旅程接下来阶段中的积极道路)”可推测，作者能“选择积极道路”的前提是“挺过了这些经历”。故选A。 【29题详解】 考查形容词词义辨析。句意：在经历了学校的可怕经历后，我决定在接下来的旅程中采取乐观、积极的态度。A. rocky 不稳的；B. rough 艰难的；C. adventurous 冒险的；D. optimistic 乐观的。根据后文“positive road”可知，作者决定在接下来的旅程中采取乐观、积极的态度。故选D。 【30题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：我的梦想职业，一个我认为只有我喜欢的作家才可能从事的职业，就是我现在所做的。A. business 生意；B. place 地方；C. career 事业；D. college 大学。根据后文“one I thought was only possible for the authors I loved, is what I am doing now. (这个我曾以为只可能发生在我喜爱的作家身上，而它正是我现在正在做的事)”可知这里指作者的梦想职业。故选C。 【31题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：自2007年以来，我一直是一名全职青少年小说作家，我很感激有这样一个神奇的机会，可以每天接触读者。A. policeman 警察；B. teacher 教师；C. doctor 医生；D. author 作家。根据前文“the authors I loved (我喜爱的作者)”和后文“to reach out to readers (接触读者)”可推测作者已经成为了一名作家，故选D。 【32题详解】 考查形容词词义辨析。句意：自2007年以来，我一直是一名全职的青少年小说作家，我很感激有这样一个神奇的机会，可以每天接触读者。A. equal 相等的；B. amazing 惊人的，神奇的；C. limited 有限的；D. rare 少见的。根据前文“grateful (感激的)” 可知，作者对“每天联系读者的机会”持积极态度，amazing (神奇的)能体现机会的珍贵和作者的珍惜，故选B。 【33题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：善良在我最需要帮助的时候救了我。A. understood 理解；B. praised 赞美；C. saved 拯救；D. ignored 忽视。根据后文“Even small acts of kindness can change someone’s life.

As long as she was free at home, she would turn on the TV, and follow the dance tutorials step by step. Over time, she had learned a great deal from those TV programs, mastering various dance moves that made her look like a professional dancer. When the school put up a notice announcing the upcoming New Year’s Eve party, which included a dance performance section, a strong desire welled up in Alice’s chest. She imagined herself dancing to her favorite music on the bright stage, and receiving cheers from the audience. But the beautiful vision quickly faded when she thought about her family. The image of her sick father lying in bed, and her mother working day and night to earn money to support the family popped into her mind. She was quite sure her family couldn’t afford the expensive performing dress. With a heavy sigh, she made up her mind to give up the chance. One afternoon, Alice found a quiet corner in the classroom to call her mom. She took out her old, worn-out phone, her fingers hovering over the dial button for a moment before pressing it. When her mom’s voice came through the phone, Alice’s eyes immediately became wet. “Mom, I... I won’t join the dance show at the New Year’s Eve party,” she said, trying her best to make her voice sound calm. “It’s not necessary. The dress needed for the performance is too costly…” She bit her lower lip to hold back the tears, not wanting her mom to worry. Little did Alice know that her best friends, Anna and Estelle, had walked past the classroom and heard her words. They stopped in their tracks, looking at each other with heavy hearts. Anna’s eyes were filled with sympathy, and Estelle gently bit her lip, feeling sorry for Alice. They knew how much Alice loved dancing, and it pained them to hear her give up her dream like that. 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。 Paragraph 1 Anna and Estelle decided to do something to help. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2 The next day, Alice was surprised when Anna and Estelle came to her with a big bag. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】例文 Paragraph 1 Anna and Estelle decided to do something to help. They walked away from the classroom, brainstorming ways to make Alice’s dream come true. “We can use the pocket money we’ve saved,” Estelle said. Anna nodded vigorously, “And we can learn the dance with her, so that she won’t be alone on the stage.” After school, they secretly registered a dance performance and headed to the dance supply store. They carefully picked out a light blue dress — they thought it would match Alice perfectly and bought two identical dresses for themselves. Paragraph 2 The next day, Alice was surprised when Anna and Estelle came to her with a big bag. “What’s this?” she asked, eyeing the bags curiously. Anna smiled and pulled out the blue dress. “For you,” she said softly. Alice’s eyes widened in surprise. “But... I can’t accept this,” she stammered, tears starting to form. “We’re performing together,” Estelle said, grinning. “Thank you,” Alice hugged her friends tightly. From that day on, they practiced every afternoon, their laughter filling the gym. When the New Year’s Eve party arrived, they danced beautifully on stage, their dresses shining under the lights. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了热爱舞蹈的爱丽丝，看到学校新年晚会有舞蹈表演，因家庭经济困难，父亲生病，母亲日夜工作，买不起昂贵的表演服装，无奈决定放弃参加。她的好朋友安娜和埃斯特尔偶然听到她与母亲的通话，决定帮助她。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“安娜和埃斯特尔决定做点什么来帮忙。”可知，第一段可描写描述安娜和埃斯特尔帮助爱丽丝的具体行动。比如，两人商量用自己的零花钱，为爱丽丝买表演服装，还打算和她一起表演，之后去舞蹈用品店挑选裙子。 ②由第二段首句内容“第二天，当安娜和埃斯特尔拿着一个大袋子来找爱丽丝时，她感到十分惊讶。”可知，第二段可描写爱丽丝看到朋友带来袋子时的反应，以及朋友们说明来意，爱丽丝感动，随后三人一起排练，最后在晚会上精彩表演。 2.续写线索：决定帮忙—商量办法（用零花钱、一起表演）—去舞蹈用品店买裙子—朋友带着袋子来找爱丽丝—拿出裙子说明来意—爱丽丝感动—一起排练—晚会上精彩表演 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①看：eye /stare at ②挑选：pick out /select ③拥抱：hug /embrace 情绪类 ①惊讶：surprise /astonishment ②有力地，精力充沛地：vigorously /energetically 【点睛】[高分句型1] They walked away from the classroom, brainstorming ways to make Alice’s dream come true.（运用了现在分词作状语） [高分句型2] From that day on, they practiced every afternoon, their laughter filling the gym.（运用了独立主格结构） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 射洪中学高2023级高三上期第一次模拟考试 英语试题 (考试时间：120分钟 满分：150分) 注意事项： 1.答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、考场号、座位号、准考证号填写在答题卡上。 2.回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑，如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上，写在本试卷上无效。 第一部分 听力(共两节，满分30分) 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 听力个小题，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.

I teach cross-cultural management at the International Business School near Paris. For the last 15 years, I’ve studied how people in different parts of the world build trust, communicate, and make decisions especially in the workplace. While traveling in Tokyo recently with a colleague, I gave a short talk to a group of 20 managers. At the end, I asked whether there were any questions or comments. No hands went up, so I went to sit down. My colleague whispered to me, “I think there actually were some comments, Erin. Do you mind if I try?” I agreed, but I guessed it a waste of breath. He asked the group again. “Any comments or questions?” Still, no one raised a hand, but this time he looked very carefully at each person in the silent audience. Gesturing to one of them, he said, “Do you have something to add?” To my amazement, she responded “Yes, thank you.” and asked me a very interesting question. My colleague repeated this several times, looking directly at the audience and asking for more questions or comments. After the session, I asked my colleague, “How do you know that those people had questions?” He hesitated, not sure how to explain it, and then said, “it has to do with how bright their eyes are.” He continued, “In Japan, we don’t make as much direct eye contact as you do in the West. So when you asked if there were any comments, most people were not looking directly at you. But a few people in the group were looking right at you, and their eyes were bright. That indicates that they would be happy to have you call on them.” I thought to myself I would never have learned from my upbringing in Minnesota. Since then, I try to focus on understanding behavior in other cultures I encounter, and keep finding the bright eyes in the room. 4. What can we conclude from the first paragraph? A. The author enjoys traveling around the world. B. Life in Minnesota has made the author worn out. C. The author is somewhat familiar with different cultures. D. The author may start his own business in the future. 5. What was the author’s initial reaction when hearing the colleague’s whisper? A. He immediately went back to his seat and sat down. B. He thought his colleague had some questions to ask. C. He believed his colleague’s effort would be useless. D. He felt very grateful for his colleague’s suggestion. 6. Where does the author’s colleague probably come from? A. Japan. B. America. C. Africa. D. France. 7. Which is the proper title for the passage? A. Focusing on Behavior in Cultures B. Admiring the Beauty in the Eye C. Sharing Different Cultures in Tokyo D. Looking at Another Culture in the Eye C Imagine standing in front of a restaurant menu with countless options, each sounding appealing. You spend 20 minutes thinking, only to feel anxious that the dish you finally choose might not be the best one available. This is “FOBO” — the fear of a better option. “FOBO is the anxiety that something better will come along, which makes it difficult to commit to existing choices when making a decision,” said venture capitalist Patrick McGinnis, who came up with the term, “Especially if there are several options available, you worry that a better or even perfect choice might be out there, yet you struggle to choose just one.” While it’s important to weigh pros and cons and think through major decisions, FOBO keeps us caught in a loop (循环), forever chasing the unclear “what if”. The concept of FOBO is based on a mistaken belief that “the longer we look, the more options we will have, and this will somehow lead to a better outcome.” However, there’s no guarantee of this. Instead, people may wait so long that they end up losing good options and regret not making a choice sooner. Constantly second-guessing oneself and living in uncertainty can cause stress and exhaustion. Psychologist Patricia Dixon explains, “Mentally, FOBO can contribute to anxiety and depression, as the constant search for better options prevents individuals from fully enjoying their present circumstances. This mindset leads to dissatisfaction, weakens self-trust, and ultimately hinders personal growth and connection.” To overcome FOBO, the key is to streamline decision-making processes. Start by setting clear priorities and narrowing down your options to make choices easier. Limit the time spent on decisions to avoid overthinking, break down complex decisions into smaller, manageable parts, and gather only essential information. Trust your instincts (直觉) and embrace the idea of focusing on finding a “good enough” option rather than obsessing over perfection. Remind yourself that even if a better option appears later, you’ve already made progress. 8. Why do people experience FOBO? A. They want to make decisions quickly. B. They have few choices to select from. C They fear missing out on a better option. D. They tend to take account of others’ views. 9. What is a potential impact of FOBO on individuals? A. It blocks their way to embracing different ideas. B. It weakens their ability to analyze complex issues. C. It prevents them from achieving a perfect outcome. D. It makes them dissatisfied with their current situation. 10. What does the underlined word “streamline” in the last paragraph probably mean? A. Extend. B. Abandon. C. Evaluate. D. Simplify. 11. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. FOBO: Decision-making Anxiety B. Deciding Wisely: Avoiding Regret C. FOBO: The Secret to Better Choices D. Refusing Overthinking: Trusting Yourself D An Anna’s Hummingbird (蜂鸟) was seen in the forest in California recently. As it moved its head, its feathers changed colours in the sunlight. The Anna’s Hummingbird is a small hummingbird found along the west coast of North America. The male Anna’s Hummingbird has colourful feathers on its head and throat, which can appear red, pink, orange, or green. This has led to the assumption that the bird can actively change the colour of its feathers, but it is actually not the case. The colour shifts we see are caused by the structure of the feathers, not by changes to the actual colouring of the feathers. The tiny structures on the surface of the feathers interact with light waves to produce certain colours. Anna’s Hummingbird feathers have tiny structures called melanosomes (黑色素体) that look like stacked flat discs (圆片). These disc stacks are super thin, close to the size of the light waves we can see. When sunlight hits these discs, the light waves bounce and interact with each other. Some colours get brighter, while others cancel out, creating shining rainbow effects — similar to how soap bubbles. This “light dance” is why hummingbird feathers look so colourful! Unlike Anna’s Hummingbirds, some birds change the colour of their feathers in a different way. For example, the Western Tanager has yellow feathers on its head and body. During molting (蜕毛), it can absorb the yellow colour to reveal an orange-red colour underneath.

Now let’s examine each of them. Start on a positive note. Constructive criticism should always start on a positive note. It feels unfair and rude if someone tells you everything you did wrong without acknowledging your achievements. So when giving feedback, don’t just note the mistakes the receivers have made. ____17____ Be specific. Effective feedback needs to be specific. Inform the receivers precisely what aspects require improvement so they can identify and address those areas. For example, don’t say, “Your presentation was unclear. ” Instead, say something like, “The introduction of your presentation was a bit confusing. ____18____ ” This way, the receiver knows exactly what to concentrate on and can make more targeted improvements. ____19____ The whole point of feedback is to help someone make changes for the better. So you should provide ideas on how to improve. It’s crucial, however, to ensure that your ideas are actionable. For instance, “You need to work on your communication skills” sounds too general. It would be much better if you say, “Try practicing active listening and summarizing what others say to ensure you understand them fully. ” Be timely. ____20____ It only works if it happens very close to an issue arising. For example, say you’re with a coworker and notice something in the sales pitch he is working on. Instead of waiting for him to run into problems, provide the feedback right away. This gives the receiver the chance to make changes and avoid problems. A. Offer practical advice. B. Focus on making changes. C. It helps us learn from our mistakes and grow. D. It lacks a clear topic sentence at the beginning. E. Feedback isn’t of much use if it comes too late. F. The feedback acknowledges the hard work the person did. G. Instead, begin by recognizing their effort and what they got right. 第三部分 英语知识运用(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、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 When I was 12 years old, I already knew my teen years were going to be the worst years of my life.

As long as she was free at home, she would turn on the TV, and follow the dance tutorials step by step. Over time, she had learned a great deal from those TV programs, mastering various dance moves that made her look like a professional dancer. When the school put up a notice announcing the upcoming New Year’s Eve party, which included a dance performance section, a strong desire welled up in Alice’s chest. She imagined herself dancing to her favorite music on the bright stage, and receiving cheers from the audience. But the beautiful vision quickly faded when she thought about her family. The image of her sick father lying in bed, and her mother working day and night to earn money to support the family popped into her mind. She was quite sure her family couldn’t afford the expensive performing dress. With a heavy sigh, she made up her mind to give up the chance. One afternoon, Alice found a quiet corner in the classroom to call her mom. She took out her old, worn-out phone, her fingers hovering over the dial button for a moment before pressing it. When her mom’s voice came through the phone, Alice’s eyes immediately became wet. “Mom, I... I won’t join the dance show at the New Year’s Eve party,” she said, trying her best to make her voice sound calm. “It’s not necessary. The dress needed for the performance is too costly…” She bit her lower lip to hold back the tears, not wanting her mom to worry. Little did Alice know that her best friends, Anna and Estelle, had walked past the classroom and heard her words. They stopped in their tracks, looking at each other with heavy hearts. Anna’s eyes were filled with sympathy, and Estelle gently bit her lip, feeling sorry for Alice. They knew how much Alice loved dancing, and it pained them to hear her give up her dream like that. 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。 Paragraph 1 Anna and Estelle decided to do something to help. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2 The next day, Alice was surprised when Anna and Estelle came to her with a big bag. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
