(请注意，无人看管的物品可能会被图书馆工作人员移走)”可知，无人看管的物品可能会被移走，建议使用房间时要照顾好自己的个人物品。故选A。 B I have always been proud of my handwriting, a skill I was taught in grade school. The teacher was teaching us the Palmer Penmanship Method, drilling into us the importance of forming big flowing lines when we wrote g’s and s’s as well as beautiful f’s that in my mind were like fairy tale princesses wearing fancy hats while extending their right foot. We were strictly prohibited from using block letters on our homework, as they lack the beauty. Now it becomes apparent that young people no longer learn cursive (草书). They type everything, mostly on their phones. Beautiful handwriting is a thing of the past. This has become a source of great sadness among traditionalists. But recently something happened that shook my faith in cursive. To my complete disbelief, not one but two of my close friends complained about the handwriting on my postcards. They were grateful for the beautiful postcards I regularly sent, but they said they honestly couldn't read a thing I had written. One friend went so far as to ask if I could use block letters next time so that she could understand what I was writing. Initially, I was angry. I had made the effort to cover an entire postcard with what I viewed as not just handwriting but calligraphy. But then I showed an English friend a postcard I'd just written, and he said that the only thing that was readily understandable was the letters “U. S. A.” The rest of it, he politely suggested, looked like “chicken scrawl”. Looking at the postcard dispassionately, I unwillingly admit that he has a point. All the m’s and n’s run together, and the l’s look like l’s. The a’s are indistinguishable from the q’s. So, from now on, I'm taking their advice and using block letters to communicate. In fact, I just now sent an old friend a postcard. But this time, I simply wrote — in big block letters: DEAR ALICE: HI. JOE. I hope she gets the message. 4. What do we know about the Palmer Penmanship Method? A. It is characterized by big flowing lines. B. It is rarely appreciated by traditionalists. C. It was not allowed in students'homework. D. It is viewed as a trend in handwriting styles. 5. What weakened the writer’s belief in cursive? A. The popularity of block letters in recent times. B. The younger generation’s disinterest in cursive. C. His friends’ failure to comprehend his postcards. D. His English friend's suggestion on postcard design. 6. Why did the writer switch to block letters for communication? A. To deliver his message clearly. B. To improve his handwriting skills. C. To win praise from his friends. D. To show his passion for calligraphy. 7. What is the text mainly about? A. The wide use of cursive. B. The sad decline of cursive. C. The value of preserving cursive. D. The technique of writing in cursive. 【答案】4. A 5. C 6. A 7. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了作者从小学时对自己的草书书法感到自豪，到意识到现代趋势使草书变得不那么实用和容易理解的历程。尽管作者的朋友们很欣赏草书的美丽，但看不懂他们手写的明信片，所以为了清晰起见，他决定改用印刷体。这一转变象征着一个更广泛的社会转变，从手写交流向打字交流转变，显示了传统美感与实际易读性之间的斗争。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“The teacher was teaching us the Palmer Penmanship Method, drilling into us the importance of forming big flowing lines when we wrote g’s and s’s as well as beautiful f’s that in my mind were like fairy tale princesses wearing fancy hats while extending their right foot.”（老师正在教我们帕尔默书法法，在我们写g和s以及美丽的f时，向我们灌输形成大而流畅的线条的重要性，在我的脑海中，f就像童话故事中的公主戴着华丽的帽子，同时伸出右脚）可知，帕尔默书法它的特点是线条大而流畅。故选A项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“But recently something happened that shook my faith in cursive. To my complete disbelief, not one but two of my close friends complained about the handwriting on my postcards. They were grateful for the beautiful postcards I regularly sent, but they said they honestly couldn't read a thing I had written.”（但最近发生的一件事动摇了我对草书的信心。让我完全难以置信的是，我的两个好朋友竟然抱怨我明信片上的字迹。他们很感激我定期寄给他们的漂亮明信片，但他们说他们真的看不懂我写的东西）可知，作者朋友们无法理解他的明信片削弱了作者对草书的信念。故选C项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Looking at the postcard dispassionately, I unwillingly admit that he has a point. All the m’s and n’s run together, and the l’s look like l’s. The a’s are indistinguishable from the q’s. So, from now on, I'm taking their advice and using block letters to communicate.”（冷静地看着明信片，我不情愿地承认他说得有道理。所有的m和n连在一起，l看起来像l。a和q是无法区分的。所以，从现在开始，我接受他们的建议，用大写字母交流）可知，作者改用大写字母来交流是为了清楚地传达他的信息。故选A项。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章大意以及第二段“Now it becomes apparent that young people no longer learn cursive. They type everything, mostly on their phones. Beautiful handwriting is a thing of the past. This has become a source of great sadness among traditionalists.”（现在很明显，年轻人不再学草书了。他们用手机打字。漂亮的书法是过去的事了。这已经成为传统主义者巨大悲伤的来源）可知，文章主要讲的是草书可悲的衰落。故选B项。 C Ugly dogs and other less attractive pets may not be the prettiest, yet they still pull at our heartstrings. What’s going on? Every June in Petaluma, California, judges examine a lineup of funny faces, crooked teeth, big eyes and messy whiskers (胡须) to decide the winner of the World’s Ugliest Dog contest. The dogs competing for this questionable title often melt the hearts of animal lovers everywhere. Funny-looking pets are also common in viral internet content. So why do we find odd-looking animals so appealing? Evolution plays a role. According to Austrian zoologist Konrad Lorenz, human attraction to baby-like features, such as big eyes, large heads and soft bodies, is an evolutionary adaptation that helps ensure that adults care for their offspring, guaranteeing the survival of their species. These features were coined “baby schema” by Lorenz in 1943. Animals such as blobfish, pugs (哈巴狗), and bulldogs all share these baby-like features that cause a caring response from humans. They trigger a natural instinct to nurture and protect. There are other reasons we like “ugly-cute” animals. Some like the blobfish or naked mole rat, live in extreme environments. Scientists study these animals to understand if their biology might provide insights that could lead to treatments for human health issues like cancer and heart disease. But there are concerns with this trend. Vets urge people not to choose flat-faced dogs because they have serious health problems. Pugs and French bulldogs are bred to have short noses and often experience trouble breathing, skin infections and eye issues. Many pugs make snoring and wheezing noises due to their blocked airways. So while silly features such as big eyes and wrinkly faces may make us smile, we might want to rethink our love of “ugly-cute” pets. 8. According to the text, what event takes place every June in Petaluma, California? A. A conference on animal evolution. B. A competition for the “World’s Ugliest Dog.” C. A health check-up event for flat-faced dogs. D. A study on animal internet pet content. 9. What do we know about “baby schema”? A. It refers to baby animals’ behavior. B. It ensures humans care for pets. C. It stimulates human’s desire to protect. D. It helps adults recognize their babies. 10. Why do scientists study animals like the blobfish or naked mole rat? A. To explore potential human health treatments. B. To prove evolution influence. C. To cure their serious health problems. D. To train them for extreme environments. 11. Why vets warn people against choosing flat-faced dogs? A. They require special care. B. They are costly to adopt. C. They have severe physical restrictions. D. They have short lifespans. 【答案】8. B 9. C 10. A 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇科普说明文。主要探讨人类喜爱“丑萌”宠物的原因，以及该趋势背后隐藏的宠物健康隐患。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Every June in Petaluma, California, judges examine a lineup of funny faces, crooked teeth, big eyes and messy whiskers (胡须) to decide the winner of the World’s Ugliest Dog contest. (每年六月，在加利福尼亚州的佩塔卢马，评委们会审视一排有着滑稽面孔、歪牙、大眼睛和凌乱胡须的狗狗，以决出“世界最丑狗狗大赛”的冠军。)”可知，每年六月在该地举办的活动是“世界最丑狗狗大赛”。故选B项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“human attraction to baby-like features, such as big eyes, large heads and soft bodies, is an evolutionary adaptation that helps ensure that adults care for their offspring, guaranteeing the survival of their species. These features were coined “baby schema” by Lorenz in 1943. (人类对大眼睛、大脑袋、柔软身体等婴儿般特征的喜爱，是一种进化适应，有助于确保成年人照顾后代，保障物种的生存。这些特征在1943年被洛伦兹命名为“婴儿图式”。)”以及第五段中的“Animals such as blobfish, pugs (哈巴狗), and bulldogs all share these baby-like features that cause a caring response from humans. They trigger a natural instinct to nurture and protect. (水滴鱼、哈巴狗、斗牛犬等动物都拥有这些婴儿般的特征，能引发人类的关爱反应，激发人们照顾和保护的本能。)”可知，“婴儿图式”会刺激人类产生保护欲。故选C项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第六段中的“Some, like the blobfish or naked mole rat, live in extreme environments. Scientists study these animals to understand if their biology might provide insights that could lead to treatments for human health issues like cancer and heart disease. (有些动物，比如水滴鱼或裸鼹鼠，生活在极端环境中。科学家研究这些动物，是为了探究它们的生理特性是否能为癌症、心脏病等人类健康问题的治疗提供思路。)”可知，科学家研究这类动物是为了探索潜在的人类健康治疗方法。故选A项。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据第七段中的“Vets urge people not to choose flat-faced dogs because they have serious health problems. Pugs and French bulldogs are bred to have short noses and often experience trouble breathing, skin infections and eye issues. Many pugs make snoring and wheezing noises due to their blocked airways. (兽医们呼吁人们不要选择扁脸狗狗，因为它们存在严重的健康问题。哈巴狗和法国斗牛犬经人工培育后鼻子短小，经常出现呼吸困难、皮肤感染和眼部问题。许多哈巴狗还会因气道堵塞而发出打鼾和喘息声。)”可知，扁脸狗狗有严重的身体机能限制，因此兽医发出警告。故选C项。 D You booked the Airbnb. You stepped away from work. Maybe you even left your laptop behind. But now it’s Monday, and you’re somehow more exhausted than before. If you’ve ever returned from a “restful” weekend still tired, you weren’t imagining it. Many high-achievers try to solve burnout with surface-level breaks — only to find themselves back at square one, but with unpacked bags and a backlog of emails. The problem isn’t your weekend. It’s what you’re carrying into it. Burnout isn’t just physical tiredness. It’s emotional exhaustion, decision fatigue (疲劳), mental overload, and a constant sense of “I should be doing more”. So if your day-to-day life feels like an endless to-do list, a weekend off — while lovely — isn’t going to change that. You’re not just tired. You’re overfunctioning. And a 48-hour break can’t undo a lifestyle that demands superhuman energy. So what can help? Name what kind of tired you are. Not all fatigue is solved by napping. Start by identifying if you’re emotionally, socially, or mentally tired. Give yourself permission to rest imperfectly. You need recovery that meets your actual needs — even if that means staying home or canceling several plans. Build micro-rest into your week. Stop saving rest for PTO (Paid Time Off). Reset with quiet meals, five-minute walks, or letting a task go undone. Tiny exits from busy mode add up. The real fix isn’t a better vacation — it’s a better baseline. You deserve a life that doesn’t require heroic recovery. Start by creating space for yourself daily, not just on the extra amount of time. Rest isn’t a reward — it’s a requirement for living well. 12. What is the primary function of the first paragraph? A. To criticize the modern work culture. B. To present a common experience about rest. C. To introduce several ways to relax on weekends. D. To describe possible problems during a journey. 13. What is suggested as an effective way to deal with fatigue? A. Canceling all the plans for a perfect rest. B. Saving up rest time for longer paid vacations. C. Taking short breaks during the working time. D. Planning lively weekend meals with friends. 14. What can be inferred from the underlined sentence in the last paragraph? A. Longer vacations are better for recovery. B. The solution lies in restructuring daily life. C. People should pursue heroic recovery. D. You could reward yourself with a better living space. 15. Which of the following would be the best title of the article? A. What makes an energized long vacation? B. Why do your weekends fail to recharge you? C. What leads to your physical exhaustion? D. How can we plan a perfect restful weekend? 【答案】12. B 13. C 14. B 15. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章提到许多人周末“休息”后仍疲惫不堪的现象，并指出问题并非周末本身。解决的方法是通过调整日常生活模式，把短暂休息加入工作日。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“You booked the Airbnb. You stepped away from work. Maybe you even left your laptop behind. But now it’s Monday, and you’re somehow more exhausted than before. If you’ve ever returned from a “restful” weekend still tired, you weren’t imagining it. Many high-achievers try to solve burnout with surface-level breaks — only to find themselves back at square one, but with unpacked bags and a backlog of emails.(你订了爱彼迎。你离开了工作。也许你甚至忘了带笔记本电脑。但现在是星期一，你比以前更累了。如果你曾经从一个“宁静”的周末回来仍然很累，那不是你的想象。许多成功人士试图通过表面上的休息来解决倦怠问题，结果却发现自己又回到了起点，但却带着未拆包的行李和积压的电子邮件)”可知，第一段通过 “预订民宿、暂离工作、周末后却更疲惫” 的具体场景，描述了人们普遍经历的“看似休息却未恢复”的情况。由此推断，第一段的作用是描述一个关于休息的常见经历。故选B。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Give yourself permission to rest imperfectly. You need recovery that meets your actual needs — even if that means staying home or canceling several plans. Build micro-rest into your week.  (允许自己不完美地休息。你需要满足你实际需要的恢复——即使这意味着呆在家里或取消一些计划。在你的一周中安排一点小休息)”可知，在工作日安排一些短暂的休息是应对疲劳的有效方法。故选C。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“The real fix isn’t a better vacation — it’s a better baseline. You deserve a life that doesn’t require heroic recovery. Start by creating space for yourself daily, not just on the extra amount of time. Rest isn’t a reward — it’s a requirement for living well.(真正的解决办法不是一个更好的假期，而是一个更好的基线。你应该过一种不需要英雄般的康复的生活。从每天为自己创造空间开始，而不仅仅是额外的时间。休息不是一种奖励——它是生活得好的必要条件)”推知，划线句子表明应对疲劳在于调整日常生活模式——每一天创造空间来进行短暂休息。故选B。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，并结合第一段“You booked the Airbnb. You stepped away from work. Maybe you even left your laptop behind. But now it’s Monday, and you’re somehow more exhausted than before. If you’ve ever returned from a “restful” weekend still tired, you weren’t imagining it. Many high-achievers try to solve burnout with surface-level breaks — only to find themselves back at square one, but with unpacked bags and a backlog of emails.(你订了爱彼迎。你离开了工作。也许你甚至忘了带笔记本电脑。但现在是星期一，你比以前更累了。如果你曾经从一个“宁静”的周末回来仍然很累，那不是你的想象。许多成功人士试图通过表面上的休息来解决倦怠问题，结果却发现自己又回到了起点，但却带着未打包的行李和积压的电子邮件)”和最后一段中“ The real fix isn’t a better vacation — it’s a better baseline.You deserve a life that doesn’t require heroic recovery. Start by creating space for yourself daily, not just on the extra amount of time. Rest isn’t a reward — it’s a requirement for living well.(真正的解决办法不是一个更好的假期，而是一个更好的基线。你应该过一种不需要英雄般的康复的生活。从每天为自己创造空间开始，而不仅仅是额外的时间。休息不是一种奖励——它是生活得好的必要条件)”可知，文章首段提到许多人周末“休息”后仍疲惫不堪的现象，后文指出解决的方法是通过调整日常生活模式，把短暂休息加入工作日。因此B项“为何你的周末无法为你充电？”可以作为最佳标题。故选B。 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。 Achieving Success in Journalistic News Writing No book, article or blog post can turn an ambitious writer into a successful journalist. All that it can do is to help the writer learn to write. The primary skill in learning to write is practice. ____16____ Among the most convenient subjects are the events and news in the world around us. Such topics are what skilled journalists write about, and that is why we call this form of writing “journalistic writing”. Journalistic writing is not a special literary gymnastics that requires a special talent and an expansive vocabulary. ____17____It is using language to tell what is going on in the world. As such, it requires no special talent beyond seeing and understanding what is taking place around us, to grasp its significance and relation to other events, and to tell others what we have seen and heard. ____18____One of the chief characteristics is timeliness and relevance. It has little time to talk about the past, except in comparison with the present. It has little time to foretell the future, except in pointing out the significance of the present. Its subject is today. It is primarily concerned with facts. The writer considers himself a recorder of the things other persons are doing and thinking. Another basic part of journalistic writing is that the writer prepares it for a definite purpose. Some writers, like novelists, write to use beautiful words and sentences. ____19____However, the writer who favors a journalistic style uses English simply to tell what he has seen and heard; he realizes that his reader cares more for the things he tells than for the way in which he tells and expresses them. Success in journalistic writing demands two important skills. One is the inborn skill to see and understand. The other is the skill to tell what the writer has seen in a way that makes the reader see the same thing. ____20____If the writer is eager to excel, he must expand his knowledge and education so he can better understand and evaluate the things he sees and hears. A. It will not do them any good to write news items. B. To these imaginative literary writers, they favor expression. C. To practice writing, one must have something to write about. D. An ambitious writer can develop both skills if he lacks them. E. The writer must write it now or never―without giving up quality. F. Journalistic writing differs mainly in its subject matter and purpose. G. Instead, it is the plainest, most reserved form of English composition. 【答案】16. C 17. G 18. F 19. B 20. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了在新闻写作中取得成功的一些方法和建议。 【16题详解】 根据上文“The primary skill in learning to write is practice.(学习写作首要技能是练习。)”可知，前文提到学习写作的主要技能是练习，C选项To practice writing, one must have something to write about. (为了练习写作，一个人必须有东西可写。)承接上文，引出下文提到的以身边事件和新闻为写作主题。故选C项。 【17题详解】 根据上文“Journalistic writing is not a special literary gymnastics that requires a special talent and an expansive vocabulary.(新闻写作不是一种特殊的文学体操，不需要特殊的才能和丰富的词汇。)”可知，前文说新闻写作不是特殊的文学技巧，不需要特殊天赋和大量词汇，G 选项Instead, it is the plainest, most reserved form of English composition.(相反，它是英语作文中最朴素、最含蓄的形式。)可知，进一步解释新闻写作的特点，与前文形成转折，上下文紧密连接。故选G项。 【18题详解】 根据下文“One of the chief characteristics is timeliness and relevance. It has little time to talk about the past, except in comparison with the present. It has little time to foretell the future, except in pointing out the significance of the present. Its subject is today. It is primarily concerned with facts.(主要特点之一是时效性和相关性。没有多少时间谈论过去，除了与现在进行比较。除了指出现在的意义外，几乎没有时间来预测未来。它的主题是今天。它主要关注事实。)”可知，后文分别阐述了新闻写作的及时性、相关性以及关注事实等特点，还提到写作目的，F选项Journalistic writing differs mainly in its subject matter and purpose. (新闻写作的不同之处在于它的主题和目的。)“可知，能够概括该段内容，引出下文对新闻写作特点和目的的具体描述。故选F项。 【19题详解】 根据上文“Some writers, like novelists, write to use beautiful words and sentences.(有些作家，像小说家一样，写作是为了使用优美的词语和句子。)”提到有些作家写作是为了使用优美的词语和句子。以及下文“However, the writer who favors a journalistic style uses English simply to tell what he has seen and heard; he realizes that his reader cares more for the things he tells than for the way in which he tells and expresses them.(然而，偏爱新闻风格的作家使用英语只是为了讲述他的所见所闻；他意识到，读者更关心的是他讲述的内容，而不是他讲述和表达这些内容的方式。)”，结合B选项To these imaginative literary writers, they favor expression.(对于这些富有想象力的文学作家来说，他们喜欢表达。)可知，承接上文内容，为对上文内容的语意递进，同时引起下文，起到上下文的承上启下作用。故选B项。 【20题详解】 根据上文“Success in journalistic writing demands two important skills. One is the inborn skill to see and understand. The other is the skill to tell what the writer has seen in a way that makes the reader see the same thing.(成功的新闻写作需要两个重要的技巧。一个是天生的观察和理解的能力。另一种技巧是用一种读者也能看到的方式来讲述作者所看到的东西。)”可知，前文提到新闻写作成功需要两种重要技能，D选项An ambitious writer can develop both skills if he lacks them.(一个有抱负的作家如果缺乏这两种技能，他也可以发展这两种技能。) 可知，承接上文内容，为对上文内容的语意递进，上下文紧密连接。故选D项。 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四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Years ago, we gifted my dad a Lego (乐高) Taj Mahal set, hoping to combine his love for architecture with family time.

We realized the instruction booklet itself was a work of art, beautiful, complex but also surprisingly ____25____ and clear. It ____26____ us with the comfort of certainty. If we followed the instructions, we would ____27____ a model looking exactly like the picture. If we made a ____28____, we had to retrace our steps and start again. Life, ____29____, rarely offers such instructions. We reflected on our respective lives — Dad on his well-lived life, and I, in my mid-thirties, on the uncertain path that lay ahead. Here, we were the _____30_____ doing the assembling. While we felt in control, our choices are often shaped by forces _____31_____ our control.

If we followed the instructions, we would ____7____ a model looking exactly like the picture.”可知，说明书很“详细”，如果按照说明书去做，就能得到一个和图片一模一样的模型。故选D项。 【26题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：它给了我们确定的安心。A. connected连接；B. provided提供；C. greeted问候；D. marked标记。根据下文“the comfort of certainty”和“If we followed the instructions, we would ____7____ a model looking exactly like the picture.”可知，如果按照说明书去做，就能得到一个和图片一模一样的模型，说明书为作者和父亲“提供”了安心感。故选B项。 【27题详解】 考查动词短语辨析。句意：如果我们按照说明书去做，我们最终会得到一个和图片一模一样模型。A. end up with以……告终，最终得到；B. come up with想出，提出；C. catch up with赶上；D. break up with与……分手。根据下文“a model looking exactly like the picture”可知，按照说明书去做，“最终会得到”一个和图片一模一样的模型。故选A项。 【28题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：如果我们犯了错，就必须回溯步骤重新开始。A. mistake错误；B. wish希望；C. decision决定；D. difference不同。根据下文“we had to retrace our steps and start again”可知，需要回溯步骤的原因是犯了“错”。故选A项。 【29题详解】 考查副词词义辨析。句意：然而，生活却很少提供这样的“说明书。A. besides此外；B. moreover而且；C. however然而；D. instead相反。根据上文“If we followed the instructions, we would ____7____ a model looking exactly like the picture.”以及下文“rarely offers such instructions”可知，上文讲乐高有明确说明书，下文讲生活没有，上下文为转折关系，应用however。故选C项。 【30题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：在这里（拼装乐高时），我们就是拼装自己“作品”的设计师。A. writer作家；B. artist艺术家；C. poet诗人；D. architect建筑师。根据上文父亲“love for architecture”的背景和下文“doing the assembling”可知，拼装乐高如同设计建筑，architect既呼应父亲的爱好，也暗喻人生的“设计者”，符合语境。故选D项。 【31题详解】 考查介词词义辨析。句意：虽然我们觉得自己在掌控一切，但我们的选择往往受到我们无法控制的力量所影响。A. within在……之内；B. against反对；C. beyond超出；D. under在……下面。根据上文“While we felt in control, our choices are often shaped by forces”可知，虽然作者和父亲觉得自己在掌控一切，实际有“超出”控制范围的力量影响选择，beyond one’s control为固定短语，表示“无法控制，超出某人的控制”。故选C项。 【32题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：面对不确定性，我们必须继续前进，既要相信过程，也要相信最终结果。A. stop停止；B. proceed继续进行；C. quit退出；D. leave离开。根据下文“trusting both in the process and the end result”可知，即使不确定，也需要“继续”往前走，要相信过程和最终结果。故选B项。 【33题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：现在完成的乐高模型提醒我，生活是慢慢建立起来的 —— 有错误，有不确定性，没有说明书。A. ensures确保；B. informs通知；C. tells告诉；D. reminds提醒。根据下文“me that life is built slowly — with mistakes, ____14____, no instruction book.”可知，完成的乐高模型“提醒”了作者生活是慢慢建立起来的人生道理。故选D项。 【34题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：同上。A. uncertainty不确定性；B. possibility可能性；C. opportunity机会；D. disability残疾。根据上文“Life, ____9____, rarely offers such instructions.”可知，生活很少提供说明书，说明生活具有“不确定性”。故选A项。 【35题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：生命的价值不在于我们创造了什么或留下了什么物质财富，而在于我们如何生活。A. breathes呼吸；B. lies在于；C. believes相信；D. takes拿走。根据下文“not in what we materially create or leave behind, but in how we lived it.”可知，生命的价值不在于物质创造或留下什么，而在于如何生活，lie in为固定短语，表示“在于”，符合此处表示价值“在于”何处的语境。故选B项。 第二节（共10小题；每小题1. 5分, 满分15分） 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 Since its release on July 25, director Shen Ao’s historical film “Dead to Rights”____36____(win) high praise.

In my mind, knowledge was power, and power was truth — clear, sharp, absolute. But the older I get, the more I realize how often truth can harm, and how the way you deliver it matters just as much as having it. In high school, I was the kind of student who could solve a physics problem before the teacher had finished writing it. No one would deny that I was a genius. I believed in right and wrong like they were written in binary (二进制). Grey areas? To me, those were for people who didn’t try hard enough to think clearly. I prized correctness above kindness, certainty over understanding. And nothing brought me more satisfaction than exposing a mistake, no matter who made it. There was one day I can’t forget. One bright autumn morning, our class was chosen to host a model lesson for a newly arrived young teacher, Mr. Feng. The topic was climate change — a subject I adored and had read about passionately in books and articles. The back rows were packed with the school’s top authorities: the principal, academic directors, and seasoned teachers, all watching closely. Mr. Feng had clearly rehearsed every line, but the tremble in his voice betrayed his nerves. He smiled tightly and tried to keep the lesson moving smoothly. Then it happened. Mr. Feng pointed to a slide about nuclear power and said, “Uraniam is one of the most powerful fuels…” “It’s uranium (铀), not uraniam!” I stood up without being called on, loud enough for the hall to fall into silence. My voice echoed, a spotlight in a room full of murmurs. My classmates turned to stare. The principal raised an eyebrow. I sat down, thrilled as always, at catching an error. To me, truth had been served — and that was what mattered most. 注意： 1．续写词数应为150左右； 2．请按如下格式作答。 Paragraph 1: The teacher froze, and then smiled faintly, saying “Thank you.” ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Years later, the memory hit me when I was doing a college speech contest. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文： The teacher froze, and then smiled faintly, saying “Thank you.” His voice was steady, but his ears had turned red. A few teachers exchanged awkward glances; some students stifled their laughter. He corrected himself and moved on, but the tension lingered in the room like a fog. After class, a few classmates gave me curious looks — some impressed, others unsure. I felt triumphant, but also strangely hollow. Mr. Feng didn’t meet my eyes as he gathered his materials. For the first time, I wondered if being right had cost someone else more than it rewarded me. Years later, the memory hit me when I spoke at a college speech contest. Midway through my speech, I accidentally mispronounced “she” as “he”, changing the gender of a well-known scientist I was referencing. I froze, face burning, waiting for someone to call out the mistake. But no one did. The judges stayed focused. My peers listened, graciously silent and smiley. In that moment, I remembered how Mr. Feng must have felt when I publicly pointed out his mistake. I wasn’t brave then — I was unkind. As the audience’s applause echoed, I understood — sometimes, kindness speaks louder than truth. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者曾以纠错为傲，高中时在公开课上打断冯老师纠正发音，让他难堪。多年后作者演讲出错却未被打断，这让作者明白有时善意比真理更重要。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“老师愣了一下，然后微微一笑，说：‘谢谢你。’”可知，第一段可描写老师因为作者的纠错而尴尬，作者也开始反省自己的行为。 ②由第二段首句内容“多年以后，当我在一次大学演讲比赛上发言时，我突然想起了这件事”可知，第二段可描写作者没有被人打断明白了善意比真理更重要。 2.续写线索：老师微笑——老师尴尬——作者感到空虚——自我怀疑——多年以后演讲——没有因为出错而被打断——作者感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①忍住：stifle/hold back ②想起：remember/recall ③理解：understand/comprehend 情绪类 ①洋洋得意：triumphant/jaunty ②紧张：tension/stress 【点睛】[高分句型1] For the first time, I wondered if being right had cost someone else more than it rewarded me.（运用了if引导宾语从句） [高分句型2] As the audience’s applause echoed, I understood — sometimes, kindness speaks louder than truth.（运用了as引导时间状语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2027届江西省上高二中高二年级英语阶段性练习 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。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项，并标在试卷的相应位置。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.

B I have always been proud of my handwriting, a skill I was taught in grade school. The teacher was teaching us the Palmer Penmanship Method, drilling into us the importance of forming big flowing lines when we wrote g’s and s’s as well as beautiful f’s that in my mind were like fairy tale princesses wearing fancy hats while extending their right foot. We were strictly prohibited from using block letters on our homework, as they lack the beauty. Now it becomes apparent that young people no longer learn cursive (草书). They type everything, mostly on their phones. Beautiful handwriting is a thing of the past. This has become a source of great sadness among traditionalists. But recently something happened that shook my faith in cursive. To my complete disbelief, not one but two of my close friends complained about the handwriting on my postcards. They were grateful for the beautiful postcards I regularly sent, but they said they honestly couldn't read a thing I had written. One friend went so far as to ask if I could use block letters next time so that she could understand what I was writing. Initially, I was angry. I had made the effort to cover an entire postcard with what I viewed as not just handwriting but calligraphy. But then I showed an English friend a postcard I'd just written, and he said that the only thing that was readily understandable was the letters “U. S. A.” The rest of it, he politely suggested, looked like “chicken scrawl”. Looking at the postcard dispassionately, I unwillingly admit that he has a point. All the m’s and n’s run together, and the l’s look like l’s. The a’s are indistinguishable from the q’s. So, from now on, I'm taking their advice and using block letters to communicate. In fact, I just now sent an old friend a postcard. But this time, I simply wrote — in big block letters: DEAR ALICE: HI. JOE. I hope she gets the message. 4. What do we know about the Palmer Penmanship Method? A. It is characterized by big flowing lines. B. It is rarely appreciated by traditionalists. C. It was not allowed in students'homework. D. It is viewed as a trend in handwriting styles. 5. What weakened the writer’s belief in cursive? A. The popularity of block letters in recent times. B. The younger generation’s disinterest in cursive. C. His friends’ failure to comprehend his postcards. D. His English friend's suggestion on postcard design. 6. Why did the writer switch to block letters for communication? A. To deliver his message clearly. B. To improve his handwriting skills. C. To win praise from his friends. D. To show his passion for calligraphy. 7. What is the text mainly about? A. The wide use of cursive. B. The sad decline of cursive. C. The value of preserving cursive. D. The technique of writing in cursive. C Ugly dogs and other less attractive pets may not be the prettiest, yet they still pull at our heartstrings. What’s going on? Every June in Petaluma, California, judges examine a lineup of funny faces, crooked teeth, big eyes and messy whiskers (胡须) to decide the winner of the World’s Ugliest Dog contest. The dogs competing for this questionable title often melt the hearts of animal lovers everywhere. Funny-looking pets are also common in viral internet content. So why do we find odd-looking animals so appealing? Evolution plays a role. According to Austrian zoologist Konrad Lorenz, human attraction to baby-like features, such as big eyes, large heads and soft bodies, is an evolutionary adaptation that helps ensure that adults care for their offspring, guaranteeing the survival of their species. These features were coined “baby schema” by Lorenz in 1943. Animals such as blobfish, pugs (哈巴狗), and bulldogs all share these baby-like features that cause a caring response from humans. They trigger a natural instinct to nurture and protect. There are other reasons we like “ugly-cute” animals. Some, like the blobfish or naked mole rat, live in extreme environments. Scientists study these animals to understand if their biology might provide insights that could lead to treatments for human health issues like cancer and heart disease. But there are concerns with this trend. Vets urge people not to choose flat-faced dogs because they have serious health problems. Pugs and French bulldogs are bred to have short noses and often experience trouble breathing, skin infections and eye issues. Many pugs make snoring and wheezing noises due to their blocked airways. So while silly features such as big eyes and wrinkly faces may make us smile, we might want to rethink our love of “ugly-cute” pets. 8. According to the text, what event takes place every June in Petaluma, California? A. A conference on animal evolution. B. A competition for the “World’s Ugliest Dog.” C. A health check-up event for flat-faced dogs. D. A study on animal internet pet content. 9. What do we know about “baby schema”? A. It refers to baby animals’ behavior. B. It ensures humans care for pets. C. It stimulates human’s desire to protect. D. It helps adults recognize their babies. 10. Why do scientists study animals like the blobfish or naked mole rat? A. To explore potential human health treatments. B. To prove evolution influence. C To cure their serious health problems. D. To train them for extreme environments. 11. Why vets warn people against choosing flat-faced dogs? A. They require special care. B. They are costly to adopt. C. They have severe physical restrictions. D. They have short lifespans. D You booked the Airbnb. You stepped away from work. Maybe you even left your laptop behind. But now it’s Monday, and you’re somehow more exhausted than before. If you’ve ever returned from a “restful” weekend still tired, you weren’t imagining it. Many high-achievers try to solve burnout with surface-level breaks — only to find themselves back at square one, but with unpacked bags and a backlog of emails. The problem isn’t your weekend. It’s what you’re carrying into it. Burnout isn’t just physical tiredness. It’s emotional exhaustion, decision fatigue (疲劳), mental overload, and a constant sense of “I should be doing more”. So if your day-to-day life feels like an endless to-do list, a weekend off — while lovely — isn’t going to change that. You’re not just tired. You’re overfunctioning. And a 48-hour break can’t undo a lifestyle that demands superhuman energy. So what can help? Name what kind of tired you are. Not all fatigue is solved by napping. Start by identifying if you’re emotionally, socially, or mentally tired. Give yourself permission to rest imperfectly. You need recovery that meets your actual needs — even if that means staying home or canceling several plans. Build micro-rest into your week. Stop saving rest for PTO (Paid Time Off). Reset with quiet meals, five-minute walks, or letting a task go undone. Tiny exits from busy mode add up. The real fix isn’t a better vacation — it’s a better baseline. You deserve a life that doesn’t require heroic recovery. Start by creating space for yourself daily, not just on the extra amount of time. Rest isn’t a reward — it’s a requirement for living well. 12. What is the primary function of the first paragraph? A To criticize the modern work culture. B. To present a common experience about rest. C. To introduce several ways to relax on weekends. D. To describe possible problems during a journey. 13. What is suggested as an effective way to deal with fatigue? A. Canceling all the plans for a perfect rest. B. Saving up rest time for longer paid vacations. C. Taking short breaks during the working time. D. Planning lively weekend meals with friends. 14. What can be inferred from the underlined sentence in the last paragraph? A. Longer vacations are better for recovery. B. The solution lies in restructuring daily life. C. People should pursue heroic recovery. D. You could reward yourself with a better living space. 15. Which of the following would be the best title of the article? A. What makes an energized long vacation? B. Why do your weekends fail to recharge you? C. What leads to your physical exhaustion? D. How can we plan a perfect restful weekend? 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。 Achieving Success in Journalistic News Writing No book, article or blog post can turn an ambitious writer into a successful journalist. All that it can do is to help the writer learn to write. The primary skill in learning to write is practice. ____16____ Among the most convenient subjects are the events and news in the world around us. Such topics are what skilled journalists write about, and that is why we call this form of writing “journalistic writing”. Journalistic writing is not a special literary gymnastics that requires a special talent and an expansive vocabulary. ____17____It is using language to tell what is going on in the world. As such, it requires no special talent beyond seeing and understanding what is taking place around us, to grasp its significance and relation to other events, and to tell others what we have seen and heard. ____18____One of the chief characteristics is timeliness and relevance. It has little time to talk about the past, except in comparison with the present. It has little time to foretell the future, except in pointing out the significance of the present. Its subject is today. It is primarily concerned with facts. The writer considers himself a recorder of the things other persons are doing and thinking. Another basic part of journalistic writing is that the writer prepares it for a definite purpose. Some writers, like novelists, write to use beautiful words and sentences. ____19____However, the writer who favors a journalistic style uses English simply to tell what he has seen and heard; he realizes that his reader cares more for the things he tells than for the way in which he tells and expresses them. Success in journalistic writing demands two important skills. One is the inborn skill to see and understand. The other is the skill to tell what the writer has seen in a way that makes the reader see the same thing. ____20____If the writer is eager to excel, he must expand his knowledge and education so he can better understand and evaluate the things he sees and hears. A. It will not do them any good to write news items. B. To these imaginative literary writers, they favor expression. C. To practice writing, one must have something to write about. D. An ambitious writer can develop both skills if he lacks them. E. The writer must write it now or never―without giving up quality. F. Journalistic writing differs mainly in its subject matter and purpose. G. Instead, it is the plainest, most reserved form of English composition. 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四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Years ago, we gifted my dad a Lego (乐高) Taj Mahal set, hoping to combine his love for architecture with family time.

In my mind, knowledge was power, and power was truth — clear, sharp, absolute. But the older I get, the more I realize how often truth can harm, and how the way you deliver it matters just as much as having it. In high school, I was the kind of student who could solve a physics problem before the teacher had finished writing it. No one would deny that I was a genius. I believed in right and wrong like they were written in binary (二进制). Grey areas? To me, those were for people who didn’t try hard enough to think clearly. I prized correctness above kindness, certainty over understanding. And nothing brought me more satisfaction than exposing a mistake, no matter who made it. There was one day I can’t forget. One bright autumn morning, our class was chosen to host a model lesson for a newly arrived young teacher, Mr. Feng. The topic was climate change — a subject I adored and had read about passionately in books and articles. The back rows were packed with the school’s top authorities: the principal, academic directors, and seasoned teachers, all watching closely. Mr. Feng had clearly rehearsed every line, but the tremble in his voice betrayed his nerves. He smiled tightly and tried to keep the lesson moving smoothly. Then it happened. Mr. Feng pointed to a slide about nuclear power and said, “Uraniam is one of the most powerful fuels…” “It’s uranium (铀), not uraniam!” I stood up without being called on, loud enough for the hall to fall into silence. My voice echoed, a spotlight in a room full of murmurs. My classmates turned to stare. The principal raised an eyebrow. I sat down, thrilled as always, at catching an error. To me, truth had been served — and that was what mattered most. 注意： 1．续写词数应为150左右； 2．请按如下格式作答。 Paragraph 1: The teacher froze, and then smiled faintly, saying “Thank you.” ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Years later, the memory hit me when I was doing a college speech contest. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
