If so, then you need to read a few self-help books. Here are four popular ones to get you going. 59 Seconds ( 2009) by Richard Wiseman This is a self-help book with a difference. Wiseman, a scientist, uses science to prove many self-help myths(神话) are false. For example, self-help books say that if you want to achieve a goal, you should visualize it. But Wiseman says that's the worst thing to do. Studies show that you need to visualize the steps required to achieve the goal. How to Win Friends& Influence People ( 1936) —by Dale Carnegie This is the book that launched the self-help type. Carnegie says financial success is 15% professional knowledge and 85% the ability to express ideas, assume leadership, and motivate people. The book is full of practical advice on how to influence people by making them like you. The Millionaire Next Door (1996) by Thomas Stanley & Wlliam Danko The authors of this book spent years interviewing American millionaires to figure out the secrets of their success. And they discovered that a majority of millionaires don't live luxury lifestyles. They're rich because they live below their means and reinvest what they earn. Who Moved My Cheese? (1998)-by Spencer Johnson Who Moved My Cheese? An Amazing Way to Deal with Change in Your Work and in Your Life, published on September 8, 1998, is a motivational business fable. The text describes change in one's work and life, and four typical reactions to those changes by two mice and two “little people”，during their hunt for cheese. 16. What is the key to achieving success in 59 Seconds? A. To employ science. B. To follow examples. C. To picture procedures. D. To visualize the goal. 17. What is Dale Carnegie's book mainly about? A. How to master occupational knowledge. B. How to apply practical techniques. C. How to gain strong management. D. How to become popular persons. 18. Which book can help you adapt to change in your life? A. 59 Seconds B. Who Moved My Cheese? C. The Millionaire Next Door D. How to Win Friends& Influence People 【答案】16. C 17. D 18. B 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了四本有助于变得更成功的自助书籍。 【16题详解】 细节理解题。根据59 Seconds ( 2009) by Richard Wiseman部分中Studies show that you need to visualize the steps required to achieve the goal.可知研究表明，你需要设想实现目标所需的步骤。由此可知，要想在59秒内取得成功，关键是要把步骤想象出来。故选C。 【17题详解】 细节理解题。根据How to Win Friends& Influence People ( 1936) —by Dale Carnegie部分中The book is full of practical advice on how to influence people by making them like you.可知这本书里有很多实用的建议，教你如何通过让别人喜欢你来影响别人。由此可知，Dale Carnegie的书主要讲了如何成为受欢迎的人。故选D。 【18题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中Who Moved My Cheese? An Amazing Way to Deal with Change in Your Work and in Your Life, published on September 8, 1998, is a motivational business fable. The text describes change in one's work and life, and four typical reactions to those changes by two mice and two “little people”，during their hunt for cheese.可知1998年9月8日出版的《谁动了我的奶酪？处理工作和生活变化的神奇方法》是一个励志的商业寓言。文章描述了工作和生活的变化，以及两只老鼠和两个“小人物”在寻找奶酪的过程中对这些变化的四种典型反应。由此可知，《谁动了我的奶酪？》这本书可以帮助你适应生活中的变化。故选B。 B I’m a college teacher and researcher. At 40 years old, I’d been writing essays (文章) for ten years. While I’d achieved small success landing unpaid bylines (署名行), most of my essays went ignored after I shot them off into the black hole of the Internet. But writing is in my bones, and despite my frustration (沮丧), giving up didn’t seem like an option. I decided to go back to school. Last summer, I took a writing class with The New York Times bestselling author Susan Shapiro. To my surprise, Shapiro’s course was not just an education in how to get your writing published. It was also an eight-week lesson on how to get over yourself. She told stories about how hard she’d worked to get her essays out into the world. She was always forthcoming (愿意提供信息的) about how much writing, rewriting, submitting (提交), and resubmitting she’d had to do. “The harder I work, the luckier I get,” she said. For our last class, Shapiro encouraged us to write about our most embarrassing secret. I admitted how masks allowed me to fully enjoy the freedom from wondering what other people were thinking about the lower half of my face. Five weeks later, my essay, “I am insecure about my face. For me, masks are liberating”, was published in The Washington Post. It was my first piece published in the major media and the first time I’d been paid for my writing. Five months after my piece was published, I landed a book deal. I am now officially a writer for children. My first novel, Jawbreaker, is set to be published in the spring of 2023. After so much rejection, landing a book deal was something that I never thought would happen to me. Taking Shapiro’s class and learning to get over myself had changed my life. I continue to set publishing goals, and am no longer discouraged by rejection. 19. Why did the author feel disappointed? A. She was too old to be a writer. B. She didn’t get well paid for her writing. C. Her writing was rejected by publishers. D. Her teacher didn’t think she could be a writer. 20. What did the author do to improve her writing? A. She attended a writing class. B. She visited bestselling authors. C. She studied successful writers’ works. D. She went back to school for a higher degree in literature. 21. What did Shapiro ask the author to do in the end? A. Find the cause of her failure to be a published author. B. Draw up a detailed publication plan for her first novel. C. Share her secret of becoming a writer for children. D. Get inspiration from her most awkward secret. 22. What can we learn from the author’s success? A. Good advice is beyond all price. B. Writing gives people confidence. C. Education is the key to success. D. Perseverance pays off. 【答案】19. C 20. A 21. D 22. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是记叙文。作者分享了自己在写作路上遭遇的坎坷和自己成功的经历。 【19题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“While I’d achieved small success landing unpaid bylines (署名行), most of my essays went ignored after I shot them off into the black hole of the Internet.(虽然我取得了小小的成功，获得了无偿的署名，，在我把它们扔进了互联网的黑洞后，大多数文章都被忽视了)”以及第二段“But writing is in my bones, and despite my frustration (沮丧), giving up didn’t seem like an option.(但写作是我骨子里的东西，尽管我很沮丧，但放弃似乎不是一个选择)”可知，作者投出的大多数作品都石沉大海，这让她很沮丧。故选C。 【20题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“I decided to go back to school. Last summer, I took a writing class with The New York Times bestselling author Susan Shapiro.(我决定回到学校。去年夏天，我上了《纽约时报》畅销书作家苏珊·夏皮罗的写作课)”可知，为了提升自己的写作能力，作者决定继续深造，报名上了《纽约时报》一位畅销书作家的写作课程。故选A。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“For our last class, Shapiro encouraged us to write about our most embarrassing secret. I admitted how masks allowed me to fully enjoy the freedom from wondering what other people were thinking about the lower half of my face. Five weeks later, my essay, “I am insecure about my face. For me, masks are liberating”, was published in The Washington Post.(最后一堂课，夏皮罗鼓励我们写下我们最尴尬的秘密。我承认，面具让我充分享受了自由，不用再去想别人对我脸的下半部分有什么看法。五周后，我的文章《我对自己的脸没有安全感，对我来说，面具是解放》”，发表在《华盛顿邮报》上)”可知，在最后一节课上，Shapiro鼓励作者把自己最难以启齿的秘密写出来，作者由此获得了写作灵感，文章也终于刊登在了主流媒体上。故选D。 【22题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“After so much rejection, landing a book deal was something that I never thought would happen to me. Taking Shapiro’s class and learning to get over myself had changed my life. I continue to set publishing goals, and am no longer discouraged by rejection.(在被拒绝了这么多次之后，我从未想过自己会有出书的机会。上了夏皮罗的课，学会了克服自我，这改变了我的生活。我继续设定出版目标，不再因被拒而气馁)”结合文章讲述了作者酷爱写作，但是却屡屡受挫。然而，作者没有选择放弃，她决定继续努力，参加了畅销书作家的写作课程，不断提升自己的写作能力。在老师的指点下，作者终于获得了成功，成为了一名儿童文学作家。由此可知，作者的故事告诉读者只要坚持不懈、永不放弃就一定会有回报。故选D。 C Nothing awakens the mind and body quite like a morning cup of coffee, yet this daily routine faces an uncertain future. “Coffee is becoming increasingly difficult to grow, which will likely drive prices higher in coming years,” said Arnold Mathijssen, a physicist at the University of Pennsylvania. “The idea for our research is really to see if we could help do something by reducing the number of coffee beans that are needed while still keeping the same amount of extraction (萃取), so that you get the same strength of coffee.” Mathijssen told USA Today that the inspiration for this study started with his PhD student, Park, who just loved trying out different things, pouring coffee with different speeds, boiling an egg at different temperatures, etc. One day, when he was making coffee, he suddenly said, “Wait! This tastes good.” Later, he conducted a series of tests, finding that a slow pour was best. “At low heights, though, the water’s speed was too slow to effectively move through the coffee bed. At higher heights, the water mixed with the coffee bed more, creating a stronger coffee. And then a steady flow led to an ‘avalanche effect (雪崩效应)’, during which the flow could pass through the coffee bed while washing up and mixing coffee grounds (咖啡渣) at the bottom. The increased height makes up for the slow pouring. You only get the avalanche if there is enough energy available since if you pour too slowly, or if you go too high, then the flow tends to break up into powerless smaller drops that can’t mix the coffee grounds effectively,” Mathijssen explains. The researchers published their new method in the journal Physics of Fluids on Tuesday: Just slowly and steadily add water from a goose-neck pot while increasing the pour height to about 11 inches. Be careful not to stop the stream. From the lab to the kitchen, physics can help with your coffee routine. So next time you make coffee, give this method a try! 23. What did Mathijssen intend to do through the research? A. Develop new coffee species. B. Cut down the prices of coffee. C. Improve coffee extraction efficiency. D. Make coffee more popular among people. 24. What can be inferred from the origin of the research? A. Two heads are better than one. B. Curiosity can drive discovery. C. Many hands make light work. D. Facts speak louder than words. 25. What can we learn from Mathijssen’s explanation of coffee making? A. Height matters as much as speed. B. Energy loss makes the taste stronger. C. Slow pouring prevents better extraction. D. An avalanche effect requires a slow pour. 26. Which can be a suitable title for the text? A. Coffee Prices Will Rise Soon B A PhD Student’s Coffee Story C. Tips on Selecting Coffee Beans D. Physics Improves Coffee Making 【答案】23 C 24. B 25. A 26. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了物理学在改善咖啡制作过程中的应用。 【23题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“The idea for our research is really to see if we could help do something by reducing the number of coffee beans that are needed while still keeping the same amount of extraction (萃取), so that you get the same strength of coffee. (我们研究的想法是，看看我们是否可以通过减少所需的咖啡豆数量来帮助做些什么，同时保持相同的萃取量，使咖啡的强度保持不变。)”可知Mathijssen的研究意图是提高咖啡的萃取效率，故选C。 【24题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Mathijssen told USA Today that the inspiration for this study started with his PhD student, Park, who just loved trying out different things, pouring coffee with different speeds, boiling an egg at different temperatures, etc. (Mathijssen告诉《今日美国》，这项研究的灵感来自他的博士生Park，他喜欢尝试不同的东西，用不同的速度倒咖啡，用不同的温度煮鸡蛋等等。)”可推断出好奇心推动发现。故选B。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“At low heights, though, the water’s speed was too slow to effectively move through the coffee bed. At higher heights, the water mixed with the coffee bed more, creating a stronger coffee. And then a steady flow led to an ‘avalanche effect (雪崩效应)’, during which the flow could pass through the coffee bed while washing up and mixing coffee grounds (咖啡渣) at the bottom. The increased height makes up for the slow pouring. (然而，在较低的高度，水的速度太慢，无法有效地穿过咖啡层。在更高的高度，水与咖啡层混合得更多，从而产生更浓的咖啡。然后，稳定的水流导致了“雪崩效应”，在此期间，水流流可以穿过咖啡层，同时在底部清洗和混合咖啡渣。增加的高度弥补了慢倒的不足。)” 这说明高度和速度相互影响、同等重要，共同决定萃取效果。故选A。 【26题详解】 主旨大意题。通断全文，可知文章的核心是物理学家通过研究水流速度、高度等物理原理，改进咖啡冲煮方法，减少咖啡豆用量仍保持萃取效果。D选项“物理改善了咖啡的制作”符合文章大意，适合作标题。故选D。 D The National Gallery has always given pride of place to Peter Paul Rubens’s Samson and Delilah, listing it among the “highlights” of its collection, since it purchased the picture at Christie’s in 1980 for a then record price. Critics (评论家) have long suggested that the painting is not really by Rubens. And now a series of scientific tests employing groundbreaking AI technology have concluded that the 17th-century Flemish painter could never have painted it. “The results are quite astonishing,” Dr. Carina Popovici, the scientist who carried out the study, told the Observer. “The algorithm (算法) has returned a 91% probability for the artwork not being authentic.” The AI technology analyses different features of an artist’s work, including brushstroke patterns. Popovici said that everything that’s not by the hand of the assumed artist will come out with a negative probability and that the technology can produce accurate results even for artists who greatly changed their style across their careers as every artist has a unique brushstroke. The AI analysis was carried out by Art Recognition, a Swiss company based near Zurich of which Popovici is a co-founder. It has analyzed 400 works with this technology, and has an ongoing collaboration (合作) with Tilburg University in Holland. Critics have long argued that it is only a copy of a Rubens original that is known to have been painted between 1608 and 1609 for his Antwerp sponsor Nicolaas Rockox which then vanished after his death in 1640. Then it was not until in 1929 when it appeared again. The significance of this new AI method of authentication is potentially groundbreaking. Short of human subjectivity, emotion and commercial interests, the software is coldly objective and scientifically accurate. Many questionable works were given the credit to Rubens at the beginning of the 20th century. There is today a clear need for more reliable methods of judgment. 27. Why does the National Gallery pay much attention to Samson and Delilah? A. It is one of Rubens’s works. B. It can give off unique light. C. It receives much criticism. D. It is thought of great value. 28. What can be inferred about the artists in the third paragraph? A. They are not satisfied with the AI technology. B. They wish their artworks to be valued. C. They have unchangeable painting habits. D. They can create some artworks beyond times. 29. What does the underlined word “vanished” mean in paragraph 5? A. Broke. B. Arrived. C. Disappeared. D. Adjusted. 30. What is the main idea of the last paragraph? A. The AI technology has many advantages. B. The AI technology is short of human subjectivity. C. The AI technology will judge many questionable works. D. The AI technology is the most reliable method of judgement. 【答案】27. D 28. C 29. C 30. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要报道了国家美术馆珍藏的《参孙与黛利拉》长期被认为是鲁本斯真迹，但AI技术通过分析画家的笔触特征，显示其很可能是赝品。 【27题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“The National Gallery has always given pride of place to Peter Paul Rubens’s Samson and Delilah, listing it among the “highlights” of its collection, since it purchased the picture at Christie’s in 1980 for a then record price. (国家美术馆一直将彼得·保罗·鲁本斯的《参孙与黛利拉》置于显要位置，并将其列为馆藏“亮点”之一，因为该画作是1980年在佳士得以当时创纪录的价格购得的)”可知，国家美术馆重视这幅画作是因为它被认为具有很高的价值。故选D项。 【28题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“Popovici said that everything that’s not by the hand of the assumed artist will come out with a negative probability and that the technology can produce accurate results even for artists who greatly changed their style across their careers as every artist has a unique brushstroke. (波波维奇博士表示，任何非假定艺术家亲手创作的作品都会显示出负面概率，并且即使对于那些职业生涯中风格变化很大的艺术家，该技术也能提供准确的结果，因为每位艺术家都有独特的笔触特征)”可知，即使艺术家风格多变，其独特的笔触特征仍可作为鉴定的依据。由此可知，艺术家有不变的绘画习惯。故选C项。 【29题详解】 词句猜测题。根据画线词所在句的下文“Then it was not until in 1929 when it appeared again. (直到1929年，这幅画才再次出现)”可推知，鲁本斯的原作在1640年赞助人Nicolaas Rockox去世后是消失了，画线词vanished意为“消失”，与Disappeared“消失”意思一致。故选C项。 【30题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段中“The significance of this new AI method of authentication is potentially groundbreaking. Short of human subjectivity, emotion and commercial interests, the software is coldly objective and scientifically accurate. (这种新的AI鉴定方法的意义可能是革命性的。它不受人类主观性、情感和商业利益的影响，软件冷酷客观且科学准确)”可知，AI鉴定技术因其客观性和准确性可能成为艺术鉴定领域的重要突破，本段表明这一技术有许多优势。故选A项。 第二节 (共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 The 2024 Paris Olympic Games concluded on Aug 11, showcasing the impressive talents of China’s Generation Z athletes across various sports.

This extraordinary progress in nontraditional sports is particularly remarkable. F. One of the most notable aspects is their new perspective on winning and losing. G. Yet there has been a shift in perspectives on the true essence of the Olympic spirit. 【答案】31. G 32. E 33. F 34. B 35. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。2024年巴黎奥运会于8月11日落下帷幕，中国Z世代运动员在各个项目上的才华令人印象深刻。然而，人们对奥林匹克精神真谛的看法已经发生了转变。 【31题详解】 空格前的句子“They embodied the Olympic motto of “Faster, Higher, Stronger— Together”.(它们体现了“更快、更高、更强”的奥林匹克格言。)”是说中国Z世代运动员体现出的奥运精神，但是下文说的是人们对奥林匹克精神真正精髓的看法发生了转变。所以，空格处的句子应该和上文是转折关系，同时引出下文的变化，所以，G项“Yet there has been a shift in perspectives on the true essence of the Olympic spirit.(然而，人们对奥林匹克精神真谛的看法已经发生了转变。)”填入空格处，符合语境。故选G项。 【32题详解】 空格前的句子“On Aug 4, 21-year-old Zheng Qinwen made history for Chinese tennis by winning the first gold medal in women’s singles for both China and Asia.(8月4日，21岁的郑钦文在女子单打比赛中为中国和亚洲赢得了第一枚金牌，创造了中国网球的历史。)”是说郑钦文创造了历史，空格处的句子应该是说它的历史意义，所以，E项“This extraordinary progress in nontraditional sports is particularly remarkable.(这种非传统体育运动的非凡进步尤其引人注目。)”填入空格处，符合语境。故选E项。 【33题详解】 根据空格前的句子“Equally inspiring are the changes in the mindset of these young athletes.(同样鼓舞人心的是这些年轻运动员心态的变化。)”和空格后的例子可知，空格处应该具体提到年轻运动员心态的变化。所以，F项“One of the most notable aspects is their new perspective on winning and losing.(其中最值得注意的一点是他们对输赢的新看法。)”填入空格处，符合语境。故选F项。 【34题详解】 根据空格后的句子“They were confident and inclusive, both in competition and cross-cultural interactions. This reflects the deep integration of Chinese values with the Olympic spirit.(无论是在竞争中还是在跨文化互动中，他们都充满自信和包容性。这反映了中国价值观与奥林匹克精神的深度融合。)”可知，空格处的句子应该提到年轻一代运动员体现出的中国体育的光荣传统。所以，B项“These young athletes also uphold the proud traditions of Chinese sports.(这些年轻的运动员也秉承着中国体育的光荣传统。)”填入空格处，符合语境。故选B项。 【35题详解】 根据空格前的句子“What exactly is the Olympic spirit?(奥林匹克精神到底是什么？)”可知，空格处的句子应该是回答上文的问题，所以A项“It starts with competition but goes beyond it.(它从竞争开始，但超越竞争。)”填入空格处，符合语境。故选A项。 第三部分 语言运用 (共节，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。 Everybody knows Charlie Chaplin, a world-­famous comedy actor.

I was often the only African American at the swimming competitions and our team couldn’t afford good uniforms. However, my number-one reason for wanting to quit was that I kept receiving “Honorable mentions” (安慰奖). Any athlete knows that you don’t want to have a bookshelf full of “Honorable Mentions”, which you get just because you showed up. One summer day, the day before a big swim meet, I decided to break the news to my grandma that I was quitting the swim team. When I told her, she looked me in the eye and said, “Baby, remember these words: ‘Quitters never win and winners never quit.’ Your grandmother didn’t raise losers or quitters. You go to that swim meet tomorrow, and you swim like you are a grandchild of mine, you hear?” I was too afraid to say anything but “Yes, ma’am.” The next day we arrived at the swim meet late, missing my group of swimmers in the 15/16 age group. My coach insisted that I be allowed to swim with the older group. I knew that she was including me in the race so that our journey to the meet would not be wasted, and she had no expectations whatsoever that I would come in anything but eighth place and only that, because there weren’t nine lanes. As I was mounting the board, all the other girls looked at me. I quickly noticed that these girls were here to do one thing—beat me! All of a sudden, my grandma’s words rang in my head. “Quitters never win and winners never quit. You swim like you are a grandchild of mine. Quitters never win and winners never quit.” “Yes, Grandma, I will swim like I am a grandchild of yours,” I said to myself. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右; 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 SPLASH!

I swam harder than I’d ever swum before. As I drew my right arm back, I noticed I was tied with one person. I assumed we were battling for eighth place and I refused to finish dead last, so I added more kick on the last 200 yards. I hit the wall and looked to the left and to the right for the swimmers who had beat me, but no one was there. They must have gotten out of the water already. It was then that I heard the claps and cheers around me. I raised my head to see my coach screaming hysterically. My eyes followed her pointing finger and I couldn’t believe what I saw. The other swimmers had just reached the halfway point of the pool! That day, at age 15, I broke the national 17/18-year-old 400-freestyle record. I hung up my honorable mentions and replaced them with a huge trophy. “Yes, grandma, you’re right. Quitters never win and winners never quit.” 【解析】 【导语】本文以参加游泳比赛为线索展开，讲述了作者已经参加了五年的游泳比赛，准备退出，因为觉得自己很糟糕，但奶奶让作者坚持下去。第二天作者来到比赛地点，没有赶上作者15/16岁年龄组的游泳选手。教练坚持允许作者和年龄大一些的人一起游泳。当作者登上跳板时想起了奶奶的话。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①根据第一段首句“扑通一声！我游得比以前任何时候都努力”可知，下文应讲述作者比赛的经过和心理活动。 ②根据第二段首句“就在那时，欢呼声和掌声淹没了我”可知，下文应讲述作者打破了17/18 400自由泳的全国纪录，以及作者获胜后的感想。 2.续写线索：努力游泳——心理活动——听到欢呼声和掌声——知道自己破了纪录——感悟 3.此类激活 行为类 ①注意到：notice/spot/see/witness ②认为：assume/think ③抬起：raise/lift ④到达：reach/arrive at/get to 情绪类 ①歇斯底里地：hysterically/with all strength 【点睛】[高分句型1]As I drew my right arm back, I noticed I was tied with one person.（运用了as引导时间状语从句） [高分句型2]I hit the wall and looked to the left and to the right for the swimmers who had beat me, but no one was there.（运用了who引导的定语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 平冈中学2025-2026学年高二上学期第一次月考 英语试题 卷面满分120分 考试用时120分钟 第一部分 基础知识 (共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分) 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。 1.

If so, then you need to read a few self-help books. Here are four popular ones to get you going. 59 Seconds ( 2009) by Richard Wiseman This is a self-help book with a difference. Wiseman, a scientist, uses science to prove many self-help myths(神话) are false. For example, self-help books say that if you want to achieve a goal, you should visualize it. But Wiseman says that's the worst thing to do. Studies show that you need to visualize the steps required to achieve the goal. How to Win Friends& Influence People ( 1936) —by Dale Carnegie This is the book that launched the self-help type. Carnegie says financial success is 15% professional knowledge and 85% the ability to express ideas, assume leadership, and motivate people. The book is full of practical advice on how to influence people by making them like you. The Millionaire Next Door (1996) by Thomas Stanley & Wlliam Danko The authors of this book spent years interviewing American millionaires to figure out the secrets of their success. And they discovered that a majority of millionaires don't live luxury lifestyles. They're rich because they live below their means and reinvest what they earn. Who Moved My Cheese? (1998)-by Spencer Johnson Who Moved My Cheese? An Amazing Way to Deal with Change in Your Work and in Your Life published on September 8, 1998, is a motivational business fable. The text describes change in one's work and life, and four typical reactions to those changes by two mice and two “little people”，during their hunt for cheese. 16. What is the key to achieving success in 59 Seconds? A. To employ science. B. To follow examples. C. To picture procedures. D. To visualize the goal. 17. What is Dale Carnegie's book mainly about? A. How to master occupational knowledge. B. How to apply practical techniques. C. How to gain strong management. D. How to become popular persons. 18. Which book can help you adapt to change in your life? A. 59 Seconds B. Who Moved My Cheese? C. The Millionaire Next Door D. How to Win Friends& Influence People B I’m a college teacher and researcher. At 40 years old, I’d been writing essays (文章) for ten years. While I’d achieved small success landing unpaid bylines (署名行), most of my essays went ignored after I shot them off into the black hole of the Internet. But writing is in my bones, and despite my frustration (沮丧), giving up didn’t seem like an option. I decided to go back to school. Last summer, I took a writing class with The New York Times bestselling author Susan Shapiro. To my surprise, Shapiro’s course was not just an education in how to get your writing published. It was also an eight-week lesson on how to get over yourself. She told stories about how hard she’d worked to get her essays out into the world. She was always forthcoming (愿意提供信息的) about how much writing, rewriting, submitting (提交), and resubmitting she’d had to do. “The harder I work, the luckier I get,” she said. For our last class, Shapiro encouraged us to write about our most embarrassing secret. I admitted how masks allowed me to fully enjoy the freedom from wondering what other people were thinking about the lower half of my face. Five weeks later, my essay, “I am insecure about my face. For me, masks are liberating”, was published in The Washington Post. It was my first piece published in the major media and the first time I’d been paid for my writing. Five months after my piece was published, I landed a book deal. I am now officially a writer for children. My first novel, Jawbreaker, is set to be published in the spring of 2023. After so much rejection, landing a book deal was something that I never thought would happen to me. Taking Shapiro’s class and learning to get over myself had changed my life. I continue to set publishing goals, and am no longer discouraged by rejection. 19. Why did the author feel disappointed? A. She was too old to be a writer. B. She didn’t get well paid for her writing. C. Her writing was rejected by publishers. D. Her teacher didn’t think she could be a writer. 20. What did the author do to improve her writing? A. She attended a writing class. B. She visited bestselling authors. C. She studied successful writers’ works. D. She went back to school for a higher degree in literature. 21. What did Shapiro ask the author to do in the end? A. Find the cause of her failure to be a published author. B. Draw up a detailed publication plan for her first novel. C. Share her secret of becoming a writer for children. D. Get inspiration from her most awkward secret. 22. What can we learn from the author’s success? A. Good advice is beyond all price. B. Writing gives people confidence. C. Education is the key to success. D. Perseverance pays off. C Nothing awakens the mind and body quite like a morning cup of coffee, yet this daily routine faces an uncertain future. “Coffee is becoming increasingly difficult to grow, which will likely drive prices higher in coming years,” said Arnold Mathijssen, a physicist at the University of Pennsylvania. “The idea for our research is really to see if we could help do something by reducing the number of coffee beans that are needed while still keeping the same amount of extraction (萃取), so that you get the same strength of coffee.” Mathijssen told USA Today that the inspiration for this study started with his PhD student, Park, who just loved trying out different things, pouring coffee with different speeds, boiling an egg at different temperatures, etc. One day, when he was making coffee, he suddenly said, “Wait! This tastes good.” Later, he conducted a series of tests, finding that a slow pour was best. “At low heights, though, the water’s speed was too slow to effectively move through the coffee bed. At higher heights, the water mixed with the coffee bed more, creating a stronger coffee. And then a steady flow led to an ‘avalanche effect (雪崩效应)’, during which the flow could pass through the coffee bed while washing up and mixing coffee grounds (咖啡渣) at the bottom. The increased height makes up for the slow pouring. You only get the avalanche if there is enough energy available since if you pour too slowly, or if you go too high, then the flow tends to break up into powerless smaller drops that can’t mix the coffee grounds effectively,” Mathijssen explains. The researchers published their new method in the journal Physics of Fluids on Tuesday: Just slowly and steadily add water from a goose-neck pot while increasing the pour height to about 11 inches. Be careful not to stop the stream. From the lab to the kitchen, physics can help with your coffee routine. So next time you make coffee, give this method a try! 23. What did Mathijssen intend to do through the research? A. Develop new coffee species. B. Cut down the prices of coffee. C. Improve coffee extraction efficiency. D. Make coffee more popular among people. 24. What can be inferred from the origin of the research? A. Two heads are better than one. B. Curiosity can drive discovery. C. Many hands make light work. D. Facts speak louder than words. 25. What can we learn from Mathijssen’s explanation of coffee making? A. Height matters as much as speed. B. Energy loss makes the taste stronger. C. Slow pouring prevents better extraction. D. An avalanche effect requires a slow pour. 26. Which can be a suitable title for the text? A. Coffee Prices Will Rise Soon B. A PhD Student’s Coffee Story C. Tips on Selecting Coffee Beans D. Physics Improves Coffee Making D The National Gallery has always given pride of place to Peter Paul Rubens’s Samson and Delilah, listing it among the “highlights” of its collection, since it purchased the picture at Christie’s in 1980 for a then record price. Critics (评论家) have long suggested that the painting is not really by Rubens. And now a series of scientific tests employing groundbreaking AI technology have concluded that the 17th-century Flemish painter could never have painted it. “The results are quite astonishing,” Dr. Carina Popovici, the scientist who carried out the study, told the Observer. “The algorithm (算法) has returned a 91% probability for the artwork not being authentic.” The AI technology analyses different features of an artist’s work, including brushstroke patterns. Popovici said that everything that’s not by the hand of the assumed artist will come out with a negative probability and that the technology can produce accurate results even for artists who greatly changed their style across their careers as every artist has a unique brushstroke. The AI analysis was carried out by Art Recognition, a Swiss company based near Zurich of which Popovici is a co-founder. It has analyzed 400 works with this technology, and has an ongoing collaboration (合作) with Tilburg University in Holland. Critics have long argued that it is only a copy of a Rubens original that is known to have been painted between 1608 and 1609 for his Antwerp sponsor Nicolaas Rockox which then vanished after his death in 1640 Then it was not until in 1929 when it appeared again. The significance of this new AI method of authentication is potentially groundbreaking. Short of human subjectivity, emotion and commercial interests, the software is coldly objective and scientifically accurate. Many questionable works were given the credit to Rubens at the beginning of the 20th century. There is today a clear need for more reliable methods of judgment. 27 Why does the National Gallery pay much attention to Samson and Delilah? A. It is one of Rubens’s works. B. It can give off unique light. C. It receives much criticism. D. It is thought of great value. 28. What can be inferred about the artists in the third paragraph? A. They are not satisfied with the AI technology. B. They wish their artworks to be valued. C. They have unchangeable painting habits. D. They can create some artworks beyond times. 29. What does the underlined word “vanished” mean in paragraph 5? A. Broke. B. Arrived. C. Disappeared. D. Adjusted. 30. What is the main idea of the last paragraph? A. The AI technology has many advantages. B. The AI technology is short of human subjectivity. C. The AI technology will judge many questionable works. D The AI technology is the most reliable method of judgement. 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。 The 2024 Paris Olympic Games concluded on Aug 11, showcasing the impressive talents of China’s Generation Z athletes across various sports.

I was often the only African American at the swimming competitions and our team couldn’t afford good uniforms. However, my number-one reason for wanting to quit was that I kept receiving “Honorable mentions” (安慰奖). Any athlete knows that you don’t want to have a bookshelf full of “Honorable Mentions”, which you get just because you showed up. One summer day, the day before a big swim meet, I decided to break the news to my grandma that I was quitting the swim team. When I told her, she looked me in the eye and said, “Baby, remember these words: ‘Quitters never win and winners never quit.’ Your grandmother didn’t raise losers or quitters. You go to that swim meet tomorrow, and you swim like you are a grandchild of mine, you hear?” I was too afraid to say anything but “Yes, ma’am.” The next day we arrived at the swim meet late, missing my group of swimmers in the 15/16 age group. My coach insisted that I be allowed to swim with the older group. I knew that she was including me in the race so that our journey to the meet would not be wasted, and she had no expectations whatsoever that I would come in anything but eighth place and only that, because there weren’t nine lanes. As I was mounting the board, all the other girls looked at me. I quickly noticed that these girls were here to do one thing—beat me! All of a sudden, my grandma’s words rang in my head. “Quitters never win and winners never quit. You swim like you are a grandchild of mine. Quitters never win and winners never quit.” “Yes, Grandma, I will swim like I am a grandchild of yours,” I said to myself. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右; 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 SPLASH! I swam harder than I’d ever swum before. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ It was then that I heard the claps and cheers around me. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
