Better known as “Ms. Stephanie” online, Walsh has been featured on social media accounts with some videos drawing more than 11 million people to watch. Walsh believes the videos gained popularity because she is 75. “It’s because I’m a senior,” said Walsh. “You don’t usually see someone my age doing hip-hop and moving like that. ”But actually, it’s more than that. Just as her profile claims, Walsh’s videos are “inspiring the world to dance like no one is watching. ” “Dance isn’t just your body, it’s what you’re feeling inside about the dance and it’s what comes out here in your face,” Walsh said. “What I want to put through my movement is how much fun it is and how much joy it gives you.” From a young age, Walsh loved to dance but her family didn’t have the money for classes. When she was nearly 30, she got her daughter ballet lessons, which her daughter hated. So, she took her daughter out and started classes herself right away. Walsh believes her lifelong passion for dance is what motivates her today. “Everybody has to have a passion in their life,” she said. “It’s like that saying, ‘A life without passion is a life half lived.’ I believe that.” Walsh dances for fun and fitness, but also for therapy (心理治疗). She struggled through countless hardships, and she has more than enough reasons to keep her down. But they don’t. She turns to her faith, her friends and of course, dance, to shine as an inspiration to those around her. Gilbert, one of Walsh’s followers, says she inspires him every day. “She’s a beautiful soul who teaches me that it doesn’t matter about your age or your size. As long as you feel good, that’s all that matters,” says Gilbert. “I am truly thankful that Walsh is teaching me at the age of 32 to live my life full and stop being so scared.” 4. What motivates Walsh to do hip-hop? A. Its great social benefit. B. Its growing popularity. C. Her enthusiasm for dance. D. Her hunger for reputation. 5. What contributes to her videos’ popularity according to Walsh? A. Her advanced age. B. Her smooth moves. C. Her endless energy. D. Her confident claim. 6. What will Walsh’s story probably inspire Gilbert to do? A. Be active in social media. B. Set a good example to others. C. Take full advantage of his talent. D. Adopt a positive approach to life. 7. Which is a suitable title for the text? A. Optimistic About Life: The Way to Survive B. Forever Young in Dance: An Inspiring Figure C. Embracing Social Media: The Key to Success D. Dancing with the Young: An Amazing Journey 【答案】4. C 5. A 6. D 7. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要介绍了75岁的街舞奶奶斯蒂芬妮·沃尔什以其激烈的舞蹈动作和令人难以置信的能量赢得了全世界的关注，鼓舞了大家的故事。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第五段中“Walsh believes her lifelong passion for dance is what motivates her today. (沃尔什认为，她一生对舞蹈的热情是她今天的动力)”可知，她对舞蹈的热情促使她跳这种舞。故选C。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第二段中“Walsh believes the videos gained popularity because she is 75. (沃尔什认为，这些视频之所以受欢迎，是因为她已经75岁了)”可知，她认为让她的视频大受欢迎的原因是她的高龄。故选A。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。由文章最后一段“Gilbert, one of Walsh’s followers, says she inspires him every day. “She’s a beautiful soul who teaches me that it doesn’t matter about your age or your size. As long as you feel good, that’s all that matters, ”says Gilbert. “I am truly thankful that Walsh is teaching me at the age of 32 to live my life full and stop being so scared. ” (吉尔伯特是沃尔什的追随者之一，他说沃尔什每天都在激励他。“她是一个美丽的灵魂，她教会了我，年龄和身材都无关紧要。只要你感觉良好，那才是最重要的，”吉尔伯特说。“我真的很感激沃尔什在我32岁的时候教会我充实地生活，不要再害怕了。”)”可推知，沃尔什的故事可能会激励吉尔伯特对生活采取积极的态度，不再害怕了。故选D。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是由文章第一段中“75-year-old hip-hop (街舞) grandma Stephanie Walsh has gained worldwide attention with her intense dance moves and incredible energy. Better known as “Ms. Stephanie” online, Walsh has been featured on social media accounts with some videos drawing more than II million people to watch. (75岁的街舞奶奶斯蒂芬妮·沃尔什以其激烈的舞蹈动作和令人难以置信的能量赢得了全世界的关注。沃尔什在网上更广为人知的名字是“斯蒂芬妮女士”，她在社交媒体上的一些视频吸引了200多万人观看)”可知，文章主要介绍了75岁的街舞奶奶斯蒂芬妮·沃尔什以其激烈的舞蹈动作和令人难以置信的能量赢得了全世界的关注，鼓舞了大家。由此可知，B选项“Forever Young in Dance: An Inspiring Figure (永远年轻的舞蹈：一个鼓舞人心的人物)”适合作本文最佳标题。故选B。 C It’s no secret now that the more time we spend on social media, the more we feel dissatisfied with ourselves. We tend to compare ourselves to influences and celebrities (well, famous people like Justin Bieber) — so it’s easy to understand how that can affect our confidence. But, how often have you found yourself comparing your life to your friends? Engaging with social media shared by our friends can be more damaging than looking at content shared by celebrities, new research has found. The study looking at how social media affects body image found that any social media engagement was significantly associated with lower ‘appearance satisfaction’. Additionally, it found that engaging with content posted by people the participants knew was more than twice as damaging as looking at content posted by strangers, including celebrities. Viren Swami, Professor of Social Psychology at Anglia Ruskin University, believes this is partly because we know it’s hard to attain the lives of celebrities or influences, but when we’re comparing ourselves to our friends, it feels like we should- or could-live the way they do. “One possible explanation is that people may believe a post showing appearance as being much more acquirable if it comes from someone they know, adding expectation or pressure on the person engaging in the post, ” he said. “At the same time, people may be more critically engaged with posts by the likes of models and celebrities, and therefore assume the images they share to be more unrealistic. “ This is not just confined to body image though. We all have one area in our lives that triggers us. Maybe you’ve been searching for a new job for months and you find yourself on social media, envying your school friend who just landed their dream role. Maybe. . . All this is to say the obvious: we only see part of people’s lives -and if it’s getting you down, you’re probably comparing your insides to other people’s outsides. Everyone has their struggles and life is indeed not perfect for anyone. So, put down your phone, get offline, be thankful and try to live your own life. 8. What did the new study find? A. Social media invites unfavorable comments. B. Friends’ posts affect us more than celebrities’. C. Celebrities have a negative influence on our life. D. Body image causes more concern than social life. 9. Why are we more likely to compare with our friends according to Swam? A. They serve as role models. B. We know the way they live. C. Their lifestyles are accessible. D. We are curious about their life. 10. What does the underlined word in Paragraph 6 probably mean? A. limited. B. related. C. devoted. D. explored. 11. What does the author suggest people do? A. Find your dream and fight for it. B. Stop comparing and be yourself. C. Be grateful and lead a perfect life. D. Stop complaining and get down to work. 【答案】8. B 9. C 10. A 11. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了一项新研究。新研究发现朋友的帖子对人们的影响比名人的更大，让人们更容易与朋友进行比较。但是作者建议人们放下手机，心存感激，努力过自己的生活。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Engaging with social media shared by our friends can be more damaging than looking at content shared by celebrities, new research has found. (一项新的研究发现，与看名人分享的内容相比，参与朋友分享的社交媒体可能更具破坏性)”可知，新研究发现朋友的帖子对我们的影响比名人的更大，故选B。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“Viren Swami, Professor of Social Psychology at Anglia Ruskin University, believes this is partly because we know it’s hard to attain the lives of celebrities or influences, but when we’re comparing ourselves to our friends, it feels like we should- or could-live the way they do. (Anglia Ruskin大学社会心理学教授Viren Swami认为，这部分是因为我们知道很难获得名人或影响力的生活，但当我们将自己与朋友进行比较时，感觉我们应该或者可以像他们那样生活)”可知，根据Swam的说法，我们更容易与朋友进行比较是因为他们的生活方式更容易见得到，故选C。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线单词下一句“We all have one area in our lives that triggers(触 发)us. Maybe you’ve been searching for a new job for months and you find yourself on social media, envying your school friend who just landed their dream role. (我们的生活中都有一个领域触发了我们。也许你已经找了好几个月的新工作，你在社交媒体上发现自己，羡慕你的学校朋友，他刚刚找到了他们梦想中的角色)”可知，划线单词所在句子的意思是：但这不仅仅局限于身体形象。故带下划线的单词可能的意思是“受限制的”，故选A。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Everyone has their struggles and life is indeed not perfect for anyone. So, put down your phone, get offline, be thankful and try to live your own life. (每个人都有自己的奋斗，生活对任何人来说都不完美。所以，放下手机，下线，心存感激，努力过自己的生活)”可知作者建议人们停止比较，做你自己，故选B。 D Each year, the world loses about 10 million hectares of forest—at area about the size of Iceland — because of cutting down trees. At that rate, some scientists predict the world’s forests could disappear in 100 to 200 years. To handle it, now researchers at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have pioneered a technique to generate wood-like plant materials sin a lab. This makes it possible to “grow” a wooden product without cutting down trees. In the lab, the researchers first take cells from the leaves of a young plant. These cells are cultured in liquid medium for two days, then moved to another medium which contains nutrients and two different hormones (激素). By adjusting the bormone levels, the researchers can tune the physical and mechanical qualities of the cells: New the researchers use a 3D printer to shape the cell-based material, and let the shaped material grow in the dark for three months. Finally, the researchers dehydrate (使脱水) the material, and then evaluate its qualities. They found that lower bormone levels lead to plant materials with more rounded, open cells of lower density (密度), while higher hormone levels contribute to the growth of plant materials with smaller but denser cell structures. Lower or higher density of cell structures makes the plant materials softer or more rigid, helping the materials grow with different wood-like characteristics. What’s more, it’s to be noted that the research process is about 100 times faster than the time it takes for a tree to grow to maturity! Research of this kind is ground-breaking. “This work demonstrates the great power of a technology,” says lead researcher, Jeffrey Berenstab. “The real opportunity here is to be at its best with what you use and how you use it. This technology can be tuned to meet the requirements you give about shapes, sizes, rigidity, and forms. It enables us to grow’ any wooden product in a way that traditional agricultural methods can’t achieve.” 12. Why do researchers at MIT perform the research? A. To grow more trees. B. To reduce tree losses. C. To protect plant diversity. D. To predict forest disappearance. 13. What does paragraph 2 mainly tell us about the lab research? A. Its scientific origins. B. Its theoretical basis C. Its usual difficulties. D. Its main processes 14. What does the finding suggest about the plant materials? A. They are better than naturally grown plants. B. Their growth speed determines their characteristics. C. The hormone levels affect their rigidity. D. Their cells’ shapes mainly rely on their density. 15. Why is the research path-breaking according to Berenstain? A. It uses new biological materials in lab experiments. B. It has a significant impact on worldwide plant growth. C. It revolutionizes the way to make wooden products. D. It challenges traditional scientific theories in forestry. 【答案】12. B 13. D 14. C 15. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了为了避免砍伐树木，麻省理工学院的研究人员开创了一种技术，在实验室里生产类似木材的植物材料。解释了其实验过程以及其积极意义。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Each year, the world loses about 10 million hectares of forest—at area about the size of Iceland — because of cutting down trees. At that rate, some scientists predict the world’s forests could disappear in 100 to 200 years. To handle it, now researchers at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have pioneered a technique to generate wood-like plant materials sin a lab.(由于砍伐树木，世界每年损失约1000万公顷的森林——面积约为冰岛的大小。一些科学家预测，按照这个速度，世界上的森林可能会在100到200年内消失。为了解决这个问题，麻省理工学院的研究人员开创了一种技术，在实验室里制造出类似木材的植物材料。)”可知，麻省理工学院的研究人员进行这项研究是为了减少树木损失。故选B。 【13题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段“In the lab, the researchers first take cells from the leaves of a young plant. These cells are cultured in liquid medium for two days, then moved to another medium which contains nutrients and two different hormones (激素). By adjusting the bormone levels, the researchers can tune the physical and mechanical qualities of the cells: New the researchers use a 3D printer to shape the cell-based material, and let the shaped material grow in the dark for three months. Finally, the researchers dehydrate (使脱水) the material, and then evaluate its qualities.(在实验室里，研究人员首先从幼小植物的叶子上提取细胞。这些细胞在液体培养基中培养两天，然后转移到另一种含有营养物质和两种不同激素的培养基中。通过调节激素水平，研究人员可以调整细胞的物理和机械质量:新的研究人员使用3D打印机来塑造细胞材料，并让成型的材料在黑暗中生长三个月。最后，研究人员将材料脱水，然后评估其质量。)”可知，第二段主要告诉我们关于实验室研究的主要过程。故选D。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“They found that lower bormone levels lead to plant materials with more rounded, open cells of lower density (密度), while higher hormone levels contribute to the growth of plant materials with smaller but denser cell structures. Lower or higher density of cell structures makes the plant materials softer or more rigid, helping the materials grow with different wood-like characteristics.(他们发现，较低的激素水平会导致植物材料的细胞更圆、更开放，密度更低，而较高的激素水平会导致植物材料的细胞结构更小，但密度更大。细胞结构的密度或高或低，使植物材料更柔软或更坚硬，帮助材料生长出不同的类木特性。)”可知，激素水平影响植物材料的硬度。故选C。 【15题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“This technology can be tuned to meet the requirements you give about shapes, sizes, rigidity, and forms. It enables us to grow’ any wooden product in a way that traditional agricultural methods can’t achieve.(该技术可以调整以满足您对形状、大小、刚性和形式的要求。它使我们能够以传统农业方法无法实现的方式种植任何木制品。)”可知，Berenstain认为这项研究具有开创性是因为它革新了制作木制品的方法。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。 One of the most common mistakes in communication is trying to do too much. ____16____ There’s no value in delivering any kind of communication, whether written, spoken, formal, or informal, if the message doesn’t come across clearly. Being clear and brief — while maintaining interest and including everything your listeners need to know — is a high-level communication skill. Here are some tips worth following in order to communicate more effectively. Keep your audience in mind. Your audience will naturally be more interested and engaged when you tailor your communications to their interests. ____17____ This will engage their desire to understand and interact with the information. Don’t use ten words when one will do. Even the most engaged and committed audience will eventually get bored. Keeping your message simple and clear will make it easier for people to understand. ____18____ However, they’re hearing it for the first time. Keep it simple. ____19____ If you’ve ever worked as an instructor, manager, trainer or coach, you’ll know that there are few better ways to learn new information than to teach it. Ask the audience to contribute their ideas or to take a role in explaining new concepts and policies to others. Allow them to lead discussions and meetings to develop their communication skills. Consider the best method to deliver your message. If the information you’re communicating isn’t urgent, consider sending an email. Written communication will give your audience more time to review it, think it over, and follow up with questions. ____20____ Building effective communication skills takes time, but the effects are worth the effort. A. Be patient. B. Get the audience involved. C. The best messages are often simple. D. Speak directly to what matters to them. E. You may be surprised by what your listeners offer. F. It will also give them a handy record to refer back to. G. As the speaker, you already know what you’re going to say. 【答案】16. C 17. D 18. G 19. B 20. F 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一些更有效地进行沟通的技巧。 【16题详解】 上文“One of the most common mistakes in communication is trying to do too much.(沟通中最常见的错误之一就是试图做得太多)”指出“做得太多”是沟通中易犯的错误，C选项“The best messages are often simple.(最好的信息往往是简单的)”承接上文，明确正确沟通方法，即不要“做得太多”，要避免复杂，追求简单，句中“simple”与上文“too much”形成对比。故选C项。 【17题详解】 上文“Your audience will naturally be more interested and engaged when you tailor your communications to their interests.(当你根据受众的兴趣来调整你的沟通内容时，他们自然会更感兴趣、更投入)”强调要迎合受众兴趣，D选项“Speak directly to what matters to them.(直接谈论对他们重要的事情)”进一步说明了具体做法，即直接针对受众关心的事情进行交流，与上文逻辑一致。故选D项。 【18题详解】 下文“However, they’re hearing it for the first time.(然而，他们是第一次听到这些)”与设空句之间是转折关系。G选项“As the speaker, you already know what you’re going to say.(作为演讲者，你已经知道你要说什么了)”与下文构成转折，演讲者自己熟悉内容，但听众是初次接触，同时，句中“what you’re going to say”与下文中指示代词“it”构成指代关系，上下文逻辑连贯。故选G项。 【19题详解】 下文“If you’ve ever worked as an instructor, manager, trainer or coach, you’ll know that there are few better ways to learn new information than to teach it. Ask the audience to contribute their ideas or to take a role in explaining new concepts and policies to others.(如果你曾经当过导师、经理、培训师或教练，你就会知道，没有比教别人更好的学习新信息的方法了。让听众贡献他们的想法，或者让他们扮演向他人解释新概念和政策的角色)”建议让受众参与其中，B选项“Get the audience involved.(让受众参与进来)”能概括这部分内容，适合作段首小标题。故选B项。 【20题详解】 上文“If the information you’re communicating isn’t urgent, consider sending an email. Written communication will give your audience more time to review it, think it over, and follow up with questions.(如果你传达的信息不紧急，考虑发电子邮件。书面沟通会给你的受众更多时间来复习、思考，并跟进提问)”说明了发邮件这种书面沟通的好处，F选项“It will also give them a handy record to refer back to.(它还会给他们提供一个方便查阅的记录)”进一步补充了发邮件的另一个好处，与上文逻辑紧密。故选F项。 第三部分 语言运用（共两小节，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。 I knew exercise is good for health — who doesn’t?

I think it’s not a good idea to randomly pair up students for the spoken English training after class. The reasons are as follows. To begin with, randomly pairing up students may lead to unbalanced language abilities within the groups. Besides, students may feel uncomfortable or less motivated if paired with someone who they don’t get along with or have difficulty communicating with. My suggestion is to group students based on their language abilities or to let students choose their own partners. This way, everyone can feel more comfortable practicing and improving their spoken English together. Thank you for considering my suggestion.

In my eyes, she was an extraordinary dog full of unique charm, yet my mother labeled her a troublemaker. When I was just eleven years old, I first laid eyes on that adorably tiny pup with a mass of curly hair, and it was love at first sight. Cindy wasn’t just cute; she was incredibly smart too. I took great delight in teaching her all sorts of nifty tricks. Whenever I placed a stick or a small piece of carrot close to her mouth and uttered the word “chew”, she’d dutifully obey. She loved going for walks with my friends and me. She danced around us as if listening to our conversations about school and clothes and movies we’d seen. I’d tell her about my friends, the boys I liked, the test I was about to take in History. Cindy would sit and stare at me as if listening to everything I told her. Then, out of the blue, my uncle, my mother’s younger brother, found himself in a tough situation and came to stay with us. He and his wife were struggling financially after he lost his job. They slept in my room and I slept on the couch. My mom didn’t want Cindy’s curly fur all over the living room furniture, so she had to sleep in the garage. Instead of being beside my bed as usual, she was out of my aunt and uncle’s way. I resented their presence and kept Cindy outside with me as much as possible. But one afternoon, when I went to get her from the back yard, she wasn’t there. The back gate was partly open. I looked everywhere around the neighborhood, knocking on doors and asking everyone if they’d seen her. I called her name over and over, that name which had always summoned my faithful friend. But this time, the silence was deafening. “Sorry,” my uncle said. “I guess when I went through the gate to check something in my car, I forgot to close it completely.” I didn’t want his apology. I cried and searched. 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。 My uncle felt bad and offered to buy another dog to keep me company. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Then one morning, two days later, my uncle was home with Cindy in his arms. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: My uncle felt bad and offered to buy another dog to keep me company. I shook my head, tears streaming down my face. “Cindy isn’t replaceable,” I choked out. Seeing my pain, he sighed and promised to help search for her. The next day, he printed flyers with Cindy’s photo and knocked on doors with me. Though exhausted, his determination softened my resentment. We checked parks and alleys, calling her name until our voices grew hoarse. That night, I overheard him telling Mom, “I’ll find Cindy, no matter what.” His sincerity touched me, and for the first time, I felt we were on the same side. Then one morning, two days later, my uncle was home with Cindy in his arms. She looked thin but wagged her tail weakly upon seeing me. “I found her near the old bakery, hiding under a box,” he explained. I rushed to hug them both, sobbing with relief. Cindy licked my cheek as if apologizing. My uncle admitted he’d barely slept, searching every corner since dawn. Mom, watching quietly, finally smiled. From that day, Cindy was allowed indoors again, and my uncle became her favorite playmate. His mistake had turned into a lesson of love and responsibility, binding us closer than ever. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者最喜爱的小狗Cindy因舅舅一家的到来，只能住在车库，作者因此而憎恶他们的到来。一天，因为舅舅忘了关车库大门，导致Cindy意外走失，作者为此伤心痛哭，并拒绝了舅舅提出的新买一只小狗的建议，在她心中，Cindy是不可替代的。最终舅舅承诺一定将Cindy找回，在他坚持不懈地寻找下，终于找回了Cindy。Cindy被允许重新回到房中居住，并和舅舅成为了好朋友，作者也因此接受了舅舅一家，和舅舅建立了亲密的感情。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我的舅舅感到很难过，提出再买一只狗来陪伴我。”可知，第一段可描写作者拒绝了舅舅的提议，于是舅舅开始寻找Cindy的过程。 ②由第二段首句内容“两天后的一天早上，舅舅抱着Cindy回家了。”可知，第二段可描写Cindy被找回后作者和Cindy的反应和表现，作者、Cindy和舅舅之间的关系因此而亲密。 2. 续写线索：舅舅提出再买一只小狗——作者拒绝——舅舅承诺寻找——寻找过程——找回——作者和Cindy表现——搬回房中居住——建立了亲密关系 3. 词汇激活： 行为类： ①摇动：shake/sway ②承诺：promise/swear ③拥抱：hug/embrace/hold 情绪类： ①使感动：touch/move ②憎恶：resentment/hate 【点睛】【高分句型1】We checked parks and alleys, calling her name until our voices grew hoarse.（运用了以连词until引导的时间状语从句，以及现在分词作状语。） 【高分句型2】My uncle admitted he’d barely slept, searching every corner since dawn.（运用了省略连接词that的宾语从句，以及现在分词作状语。） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 桂华中学2025-2026学年度第一学期高三第一次模拟考试 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、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A Some of the world’s most famous musicians recently gathered in Paris and New Orleans to celebrate the first annual International Jazz Day.

Better known as “Ms. Stephanie” online, Walsh has been featured on social media accounts with some videos drawing more than 11 million people to watch. Walsh believes the videos gained popularity because she is 75. “It’s because I’m a senior,” said Walsh. “You don’t usually see someone my age doing hip-hop and moving like that. ”But actually, it’s more than that. Just as her profile claims, Walsh’s videos are “inspiring the world to dance like no one is watching. ” “Dance isn’t just your body, it’s what you’re feeling inside about the dance and it’s what comes out here in your face,” Walsh said. “What I want to put through my movement is how much fun it is and how much joy it gives you.” From a young age, Walsh loved to dance but her family didn’t have the money for classes. When she was nearly 30, she got her daughter ballet lessons, which her daughter hated. So, she took her daughter out and started classes herself right away. Walsh believes her lifelong passion for dance is what motivates her today. “Everybody has to have a passion in their life,” she said. “It’s like that saying, ‘A life without passion is a life half lived.’ I believe that.” Walsh dances for fun and fitness, but also for therapy (心理治疗). She struggled through countless hardships, and she has more than enough reasons to keep her down. But they don’t. She turns to her faith, her friends and of course, dance, to shine as an inspiration to those around her. Gilbert, one of Walsh’s followers, says she inspires him every day. “She’s a beautiful soul who teaches me that it doesn’t matter about your age or your size. As long as you feel good, that’s all that matters,” says Gilbert. “I am truly thankful that Walsh is teaching me at the age of 32 to live my life full and stop being so scared.” 4. What motivates Walsh to do hip-hop? A. Its great social benefit. B. Its growing popularity. C. Her enthusiasm for dance. D. Her hunger for reputation. 5. What contributes to her videos’ popularity according to Walsh? A Her advanced age. B. Her smooth moves. C. Her endless energy. D. Her confident claim. 6. What will Walsh’s story probably inspire Gilbert to do? A. Be active in social media. B. Set a good example to others. C. Take full advantage of his talent. D. Adopt a positive approach to life. 7. Which is a suitable title for the text? A. Optimistic About Life: The Way to Survive B. Forever Young in Dance: An Inspiring Figure C. Embracing Social Media: The Key to Success D. Dancing with the Young: An Amazing Journey C It’s no secret now that the more time we spend on social media, the more we feel dissatisfied with ourselves. We tend to compare ourselves to influences and celebrities (well, famous people like Justin Bieber) — so it’s easy to understand how that can affect our confidence. But, how often have you found yourself comparing your life to your friends? Engaging with social media shared by our friends can be more damaging than looking at content shared by celebrities, new research has found. The study looking at how social media affects body image found that any social media engagement was significantly associated with lower ‘appearance satisfaction’. Additionally, it found that engaging with content posted by people the participants knew was more than twice as damaging as looking at content posted by strangers, including celebrities. Viren Swami, Professor of Social Psychology at Anglia Ruskin University, believes this is partly because we know it’s hard to attain the lives of celebrities or influences, but when we’re comparing ourselves to our friends, it feels like we should- or could-live the way they do. “One possible explanation is that people may believe a post showing appearance as being much more acquirable if it comes from someone they know, adding expectation or pressure on the person engaging in the post, ” he said. “At the same time, people may be more critically engaged with posts by the likes of models and celebrities, and therefore assume the images they share to be more unrealistic. “ This is not just confined to body image though. We all have one area in our lives that triggers us. Maybe you’ve been searching for a new job for months and you find yourself on social media, envying your school friend who just landed their dream role. Maybe. . . All this is to say the obvious: we only see part of people’s lives -and if it’s getting you down, you’re probably comparing your insides to other people’s outsides. Everyone has their struggles and life is indeed not perfect for anyone. So, put down your phone, get offline, be thankful and try to live your own life. 8. What did the new study find? A. Social media invites unfavorable comments. B. Friends’ posts affect us more than celebrities’. C. Celebrities have a negative influence on our life. D. Body image causes more concern than social life. 9. Why are we more likely to compare with our friends according to Swam? A. They serve as role models. B. We know the way they live. C. Their lifestyles are accessible. D. We are curious about their life. 10. What does the underlined word in Paragraph 6 probably mean? A. limited. B. related. C. devoted. D. explored. 11. What does the author suggest people do? A. Find your dream and fight for it. B. Stop comparing and be yourself. C. Be grateful and lead a perfect life. D. Stop complaining and get down to work. D Each year, the world loses about 10 million hectares of forest—at area about the size of Iceland — because of cutting down trees. At that rate, some scientists predict the world’s forests could disappear in 100 to 200 years. To handle it, now researchers at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have pioneered a technique to generate wood-like plant materials sin a lab. This makes it possible to “grow” a wooden product without cutting down trees. In the lab, the researchers first take cells from the leaves of a young plant. These cells are cultured in liquid medium for two days, then moved to another medium which contains nutrients and two different hormones (激素). By adjusting the bormone levels, the researchers can tune the physical and mechanical qualities of the cells: New the researchers use a 3D printer to shape the cell-based material, and let the shaped material grow in the dark for three months. Finally, the researchers dehydrate (使脱水) the material, and then evaluate its qualities. They found that lower bormone levels lead to plant materials with more rounded, open cells of lower density (密度), while higher hormone levels contribute to the growth of plant materials with smaller but denser cell structures. Lower or higher density of cell structures makes the plant materials softer or more rigid, helping the materials grow with different wood-like characteristics. What’s more, it’s to be noted that the research process is about 100 times faster than the time it takes for a tree to grow to maturity! Research of this kind is ground-breaking. “This work demonstrates the great power of a technology” says lead researcher, Jeffrey Berenstab. “The real opportunity here is to be at its best with what you use and how you use it. This technology can be tuned to meet the requirements you give about shapes, sizes, rigidity, and forms. It enables us to grow’ any wooden product in a way that traditional agricultural methods can’t achieve.” 12. Why do researchers at MIT perform the research? A. To grow more trees. B. To reduce tree losses. C. To protect plant diversity. D. To predict forest disappearance. 13. What does paragraph 2 mainly tell us about the lab research? A Its scientific origins. B. Its theoretical basis C. Its usual difficulties. D. Its main processes 14. What does the finding suggest about the plant materials? A. They are better than naturally grown plants. B. Their growth speed determines their characteristics. C. The hormone levels affect their rigidity. D. Their cells’ shapes mainly rely on their density. 15. Why is the research path-breaking according to Berenstain? A. It uses new biological materials in lab experiments. B. It has a significant impact on worldwide plant growth. C. It revolutionizes the way to make wooden products. D. It challenges traditional scientific theories in forestry. 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。 One of the most common mistakes in communication is trying to do too much. ____16____ There’s no value in delivering any kind of communication, whether written, spoken, formal, or informal, if the message doesn’t come across clearly. Being clear and brief — while maintaining interest and including everything your listeners need to know — is a high-level communication skill. Here are some tips worth following in order to communicate more effectively. Keep your audience in mind. Your audience will naturally be more interested and engaged when you tailor your communications to their interests. ____17____ This will engage their desire to understand and interact with the information. Don’t use ten words when one will do. Even the most engaged and committed audience will eventually get bored. Keeping your message simple and clear will make it easier for people to understand. ____18____ However, they’re hearing it for the first time. Keep it simple. ____19____ If you’ve ever worked as an instructor, manager, trainer or coach, you’ll know that there are few better ways to learn new information than to teach it. Ask the audience to contribute their ideas or to take a role in explaining new concepts and policies to others. Allow them to lead discussions and meetings to develop their communication skills. Consider the best method to deliver your message. If the information you’re communicating isn’t urgent, consider sending an email. Written communication will give your audience more time to review it, think it over, and follow up with questions. ____20____ Building effective communication skills takes time, but the effects are worth the effort. A. Be patient. B. Get the audience involved. C. The best messages are often simple. D. Speak directly to what matters to them. E. You may be surprised by what your listeners offer. F. It will also give them a handy record to refer back to. G. As the speaker, you already know what you’re going to say. 第三部分 语言运用（共两小节，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。 I knew exercise is good for health — who doesn’t? But ____21____ were easier. Running bored me, biking sounded risky, and the gym seemed too much to handle. Each offered me a reason to ____22____ it, so I did. When I worked in Kenya, I came to realize that people there don’t “____23____” the way I had thought. Instead, they move — with a clear ____24____ in mind. They move to reach a destination. They move to hunt and to tend crops. There is no such thing as a ____25____, but they are working out 24-7. Maybe I could take ____26____ from these people and add meaning to my exercising.

In my eyes, she was an extraordinary dog full of unique charm, yet my mother labeled her a troublemaker. When I was just eleven years old, I first laid eyes on that adorably tiny pup with a mass of curly hair, and it was love at first sight. Cindy wasn’t just cute; she was incredibly smart too. I took great delight in teaching her all sorts of nifty tricks. Whenever I placed a stick or a small piece of carrot close to her mouth and uttered the word “chew”, she’d dutifully obey. She loved going for walks with my friends and me. She danced around us as if listening to our conversations about school and clothes and movies we’d seen. I’d tell her about my friends, the boys I liked, the test I was about to take in History. Cindy would sit and stare at me as if listening to everything I told her. Then out of the blue, my uncle, my mother’s younger brother, found himself in a tough situation and came to stay with us. He and his wife were struggling financially after he lost his job. They slept in my room and I slept on the couch. My mom didn’t want Cindy’s curly fur all over the living room furniture, so she had to sleep in the garage. Instead of being beside my bed as usual, she was out of my aunt and uncle’s way. I resented their presence and kept Cindy outside with me as much as possible. But one afternoon, when I went to get her from the back yard, she wasn’t there. The back gate was partly open. I looked everywhere around the neighborhood, knocking on doors and asking everyone if they’d seen her. I called her name over and over, that name which had always summoned my faithful friend. But this time, the silence was deafening. “Sorry,” my uncle said. “I guess when I went through the gate to check something in my car, I forgot to close it completely.” I didn’t want his apology. I cried and searched. 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。 My uncle felt bad and offered to buy another dog to keep me company. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Then one morning, two days later, my uncle was home with Cindy in his arms. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
