The email started off: “Dear Mr Green, thank you for your interest” and “the review process took longer than expected.” It ended with “We are sorry to inform you…” and my vision blurred (模糊). I had put so much time and emotional energy into applying, and I thought the rejection meant the end of my science career. So I was shocked when Professor Mary Devon, who was running the programme, invited me to observe the work being done in her lab. I jumped at the chance, and a few weeks later I was shocked and overjoyed when she invited me to talk about projects I could do in her lab. What she proposed didn’t seem as exciting as the original project I had applied to, but I was going to give it my all. I found myself working with a robotics professor on techniques for collecting data from the desert remotely. That project, which I could complete from my sofa instead of in the burning heat of the desert, not only survived the lockdown but worked where traditional methods didn’t. In the end, I had a new scientific interest to pursue. When I applied to graduate school, I found three programmes promising to allow me to follow my desired research direction. And I applied with the same anxious excitement as before. When I was rejected from one that had seemed like a perfect fit, it was undoubtedly difficult. But this time I had the perspective (视角) to keep it from sending me into panic. It helped that in the end I was accepted into one of the other programmes I was also excited about. Rather than setting plans in stone, I’ve learned that sometimes I need to take the opportunities that are offered, even if they don’t sound perfect at the time, and make the most of them. 4. How did the author feel when reading the email? A. anxious B. angry C. surprised D. happy 5. After talking with Professor Devon, the author decided to ________. A. criticize the review process B. stay longer in the Sahara Desert C. apply to the original project again D. put his heart and soul into the lab work 6. According to the author, the project with the robotics professor was ________. A. demanding B. inspiring C. misleading D. amusing 7. What can we learn from this passage? A. An invitation is a reputation. B. An innovation is a resolution. C. A rejection can be a redirection. D. A reflection can be a restriction. C We are all guilty of grabbing our phones and scrolling through social media when times get boring. Psychologists have noted in numerous studies over the past decade that individuals engage in social media and other digital media to escape boredom. However, the same studies reveal that consuming such media can actually increase boredom in individuals. That result may be a product of constantly “switching” between different content online, the endless pursuit of the next piece of media to alleviate present boredom. To investigate the role that fast- forwarding and switching videos has in boredom, Dr Katy Tam, the lead author of the research and researchers performed two experiments on about 1,200 people. In the first trial, the study participants had two viewing experiences. They both watched a 10- minute video without the option to switch or fast- forward and then had a 10- minute period where they could switch between seven 5- minute videos. In the second experiment, participants watched a 10- minute video in one round and in the other round were allowed to fast- forward or rewind through a 50- minute video. Participants predicted they would be less bored with the option to switch or fast- forward for both experiments but reported afterward that they found watching one video all the way through to be more engaging, satisfying and meaningful. Tam said boredom was closely linked to attention. “We feel bored when there’s a gap between how engaged we are and how engaged we want to be,” she said. “When people keep switching through videos, they become less engaged with the videos and they are looking for something more interesting. This can lead to increased feelings of boredom.” Finally, said Tam, it could be worth taking your time before hitting the fast- forward or skip buttons. “Our research shows that while people fast- forward or skip video s to avoid boredom, this behaviour can actually make them feel more bored,” she said. “Just as we pay for an immersive (沉浸式) experience in a movie theatre, enjoyment often comes from immersing ourselves in videos rather than swiping (滚屏) through them.” 8. What does the underlined word “alleviate” in paragraph 2mean? A. Ease. B. Understand. C. Define. D. Justify. 9. Tam’s study found that participants reported higher levels of boredom when ______. A. the length of a video was too long. B. the video content was played repeatedly. C. they switched between videos and within video. D. they watched the same video through to the end. 10. What did Tam present in paragraph 5? A. Ways of watching videos. B. The design of his experiment. C. Examples of divided attention. D. The cause of people’s boredom. 11. What was Tam’s suggestion in the last paragraph? A. Pay for a viewing experience. B. Refer to the ratings before watching videos. C. Go to a cinema for an immersive experience. D. Stay focused on the content while watching videos. D Many people list hiccups (嗝) as one of the most annoying problems which are associated with being human. For a group of people, continuous hiccups can seriously harm the quality of life. In the year 2017, the question “What causes hiccups?” was one of the most searched medical questions. That’s how much of an issue these hiccups are and it also reflects that this problem is so widespread in our daily life. Dr. Ali Seifi, a professor of the University of Texas, was tired of the traditional methods which are used to remove hiccups, like drinking water or varying breathing techniques. He then came up with the idea that a straw (吸管) could help interrupt hiccups. The straw, which is named HiccAway, requires more suction (吸) power than regular straws in order to draw up liquid. Drinking with this straw can lower the diaphragm (隔膜) while first opening it and then closing it. Doing so stimulates the nerves at the same time, allowing the brain to reset and stop the hiccups. Dr. James Alvarez of the University of Texas gathered 249 volunteers to use the straw and report back their results. When it comes to the effectiveness, this straw received a score of 4.58 out of 5. About 90% of the participants marked it as more effective than traditional home methods. A majority of the participants reported several occasions when they always suffer from hiccups. 53 reported that they suffered from hiccups weekly and about 11 participants reported daily hiccups issues. The frequent sufferers reported success rates were as high as people who hardly suffer from them. Some people are convinced that how to interrupt hiccups is an issue in which placebo effect (安慰剂效应) could likely work. A lot of people swear that their own solutions do not end up working for others. It is not clear how this trial could be conducted in a more scientific way. 12. Why does the author mention the question in paragraph 1? A. To show the possible causes of hiccups. B. To show the terrible effects of hiccups. C. To prove hiccuping is common in our life. D. To prove people are concerned about health. 13 What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about HiccAway? A. Its working principle. B. Its wide popularity. C. Its experimental result. D. Its process of producing. 14. What was the participants’ reaction to HiccAway? A. It led to more hiccups for one-fifth of them. B. It was thought highly of by the majority of them. C. It had no effect on removing hiccups for most of them. D. It helped 11 of them completely get rid of daily hiccups. 15. What can we infer about the study from the text? A. Less volunteers should be involved in the study. B. The study has caught people’s attention on hiccups. C. Many people are believing hiccups can be cured easily. D. There has been no well-recognized cure for hiccups so far. 第二节(共 5 小题;每小题 2.5 分，满分 12.5 分) The job search is exciting because there are so many options for what you can do but for the same reason, it can also be overwhelming.

I take the train, my main commuting (通勤) way, to work every morning from a train station near my house. I can get to the station quite easily as there is a way at the back of the station which provides a great shortcut. In summer, when it’s hot, I always try to rush through it because it can get quite smelly from all the garbage that people throw away. It was one of those days that I was trying to rush through as usual when something made me stop for a moment. I saw the most unexpected and beautiful act by an old woman walking ahead of me with the help of a white stick. The old woman was quite short and thin, and had white hair. I remember that she was wearing a bright orange jacket and she was walking, assisted by a white cane. She was walking slowly as each step took some effort. I hadn’t particularly noticed her at first, until she stopped near a garbage bin. She slowly laid her walking stick against the garbage bin and then leaned on it with her right hand. Then she bent down and reached for the garbage, but she clearly found it difficult and it took her a while. She picked up some garbage off the ground with her left hand and slowly straightened herself up again, all the while using the garbage bin to support herself. She threw the garbage inside the bin, dusted her trousers off and then reached for her walking cane again. She then gradually stood up straight and carried on walking. I was blown away to see this amazing old woman make such a painstaking effort to keep even a small part of the way clean! I haven't been able to stop thinking about that all day. 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。 Inspired by the old woman’s act, I also did my part in keeping the way clean. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Word spread, and our efforts soon caught the attention of the local community. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 民乐一中2025-2026学年高二年级10月教学质量检测英语试卷 第一部分：听力(共两节，满分30分) 第一节 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 1.

The email started off: “Dear Mr Green, thank you for your interest” and “the review process took longer than expected.” It ended with “We are sorry to inform you…” and my vision blurred (模糊). (当我看到邮件发件人的名字时，我的心跳加速了。这封邮件是这样开头的：“亲爱的格林先生，感谢您的关注”，“审核过程比预期的要长。”信的结尾是“我们很抱歉地通知你……”，我的视线模糊了。)”可知，收到的是被拒绝的邮件，所以推测作者在读电子邮件时感到焦虑。故选A。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“So I was shocked when Professor Mary Devon, who was running the programme, invited me to observe the work being done in her lab. I jumped at the chance, and a few weeks later I was shocked and overjoyed when she invited me to talk about projects I could do in her lab. What she proposed didn’t seem as exciting as the original project I had applied to, but I was going to give it my all. (所以，当负责该项目的玛丽・德文教授邀请我去观摩她实验室里正在进行的工作时，我感到十分震惊。我欣然抓住了这个机会。几周后，当她邀请我去商讨能在她实验室开展的项目时，我既震惊又欣喜若狂。她提议的项目似乎不像我最初申请的那个项目那样令人兴奋，但我仍打算全力以赴。)”可知，与德文教授交谈后，作者决定全心全意地投入实验室工作。故选D。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“I found myself working with a robotics professor on techniques for collecting data from the desert remotely. That project, which I could complete from my sofa instead of in the burning heat of the desert, not only survived the lockdown but worked where traditional methods didn’t. In the end, I had a new scientific interest to pursue. (我发现自己与一位机器人学教授合作，研究从沙漠远程收集数据的技术。这个项目，我无需身处酷热的沙漠，在沙发上就能完成。它不仅在封锁期间得以推进，而且在传统方法行不通的地方发挥了作用。最终，我有了一个新的科研兴趣去追寻。)”可推知，机器人学教授的项目很鼓舞人心。故选B。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Rather than setting plans in stone, I’ve learned that sometimes I need to take the opportunities that are offered, even if they don’t sound perfect at the time, and make the most of them. (我明白了，不能把计划定得一成不变，有时候我需要抓住摆在面前的机会，即便这些机会在当时听起来并非尽善尽美，也要充分加以利用。)”结合文章中作者结合自己被拒绝后得到了更好的职业发展机会，告诉我们最初的拒绝给予了更好的方向。故选C。 C We are all guilty of grabbing our phones and scrolling through social media when times get boring. Psychologists have noted in numerous studies over the past decade that individuals engage in social media and other digital media to escape boredom. However, the same studies reveal that consuming such media can actually increase boredom in individuals. That result may be a product of constantly “switching” between different content online, the endless pursuit of the next piece of media to alleviate present boredom. To investigate the role that fast- forwarding and switching videos has in boredom, Dr Katy Tam, the lead author of the research and researchers performed two experiments on about 1,200 people. In the first trial, the study participants had two viewing experiences. They both watched a 10- minute video without the option to switch or fast- forward and then had a 10- minute period where they could switch between seven 5- minute videos. In the second experiment, participants watched a 10- minute video in one round and in the other round were allowed to fast- forward or rewind through a 50- minute video. Participants predicted they would be less bored with the option to switch or fast- forward for both experiments but reported afterward that they found watching one video all the way through to be more engaging, satisfying and meaningful. Tam said boredom was closely linked to attention. “We feel bored when there’s a gap between how engaged we are and how engaged we want to be,” she said. “When people keep switching through videos, they become less engaged with the videos and they are looking for something more interesting. This can lead to increased feelings of boredom.” Finally, said Tam, it could be worth taking your time before hitting the fast- forward or skip buttons. “Our research shows that while people fast- forward or skip video s to avoid boredom, this behaviour can actually make them feel more bored,” she said. “Just as we pay for an immersive (沉浸式) experience in a movie theatre, enjoyment often comes from immersing ourselves in videos rather than swiping (滚屏) through them.” 8. What does the underlined word “alleviate” in paragraph 2mean? A. Ease. B. Understand. C. Define. D. Justify. 9. Tam’s study found that participants reported higher levels of boredom when ______. A. the length of a video was too long. B. the video content was played repeatedly. C. they switched between videos and within video. D. they watched the same video through to the end. 10. What did Tam present in paragraph 5? A. Ways of watching videos. B. The design of his experiment. C. Examples of divided attention. D. The cause of people’s boredom. 11. What was Tam’s suggestion in the last paragraph? A. Pay for a viewing experience. B. Refer to the ratings before watching videos. C. Go to a cinema for an immersive experience. D. Stay focused on the content while watching videos. 【答案】8. A 9. C 10. D 11. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文介绍了关于无聊感的研究，指出快速浏览和切换视频可能会增加无聊感，并提出了相关建议。 【8题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“That result may be a product of constantly “switching” between different content online(这种结果可能是不断地在不同的在线内容之间“切换”的产物)”以及后文“present boredom(当前的无聊)”可知，不断切换在线内容以及追求下一个媒体是为了缓解当下的无聊。故划线词意思是“缓解”。故选A。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Participants predicted they would be less bored with the option to switch or fast- forward for both experiments but reported afterward that they found watching one video all the way through to be more engaging, satisfying and meaningful.(参与者预测，在两个实验中，切换或快进的选择不会让他们感到无聊，但之后他们报告说，他们发现从头到尾看一个视频更有吸引力、更满意、更有意义)”可知，Tam的研究发现，当参与者在视频之间切换和在视频内部切换时，他们的无聊程度更高。故选C。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“Tam said boredom was closely linked to attention. “We feel bored when there’s a gap between how engaged we are and how engaged we want to be,” she said. “When people keep switching through videos, they become less engaged with the videos and they are looking for something more interesting. This can lead to increased feelings of boredom.”(Tam说，无聊与注意力密切相关。“当我们的投入程度和我们想要的投入程度之间存在差距时，我们会感到无聊，”她说。“当人们不停地切换视频时，他们对视频的参与度就会降低，他们会寻找更有趣的东西。这可能会增加无聊感。”)”可知，Tam在第5段提出了人们无聊的原因。故选D。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段““Our research shows that while people fast- forward or skip video s to avoid boredom, this behaviour can actually make them feel more bored,” she said. “Just as we pay for an immersive (沉浸式) experience in a movie theatre, enjoyment often comes from immersing ourselves in videos rather than swiping (滚屏) through them.”(她说：“我们的研究表明，虽然人们为了避免无聊而快进或跳过视频，但这种行为实际上会让他们感到更加无聊。就像我们花钱去电影院享受身临其境的体验一样，享受往往来自于让自己沉浸在视频中，而不是在视频中刷屏。”)”可知，Tam在最后一段的建议是看视频时要专注于内容。故选D。 D Many people list hiccups (嗝) as one of the most annoying problems which are associated with being human. For a group of people, continuous hiccups can seriously harm the quality of life. In the year 2017, the question “What causes hiccups?” was one of the most searched medical questions. That’s how much of an issue these hiccups are and it also reflects that this problem is so widespread in our daily life. Dr. Ali Seifi, a professor of the University of Texas, was tired of the traditional methods which are used to remove hiccups, like drinking water or varying breathing techniques. He then came up with the idea that a straw (吸管) could help interrupt hiccups. The straw, which is named HiccAway, requires more suction (吸) power than regular straws in order to draw up liquid. Drinking with this straw can lower the diaphragm (隔膜) while first opening it and then closing it. Doing so stimulates the nerves at the same time, allowing the brain to reset and stop the hiccups. Dr. James Alvarez of the University of Texas gathered 249 volunteers to use the straw and report back their results. When it comes to the effectiveness, this straw received a score of 4.58 out of 5. About 90% of the participants marked it as more effective than traditional home methods. A majority of the participants reported several occasions when they always suffer from hiccups. 53 reported that they suffered from hiccups weekly and about 11 participants reported daily hiccups issues. The frequent sufferers reported success rates were as high as people who hardly suffer from them. Some people are convinced that how to interrupt hiccups is an issue in which placebo effect (安慰剂效应) could likely work. A lot of people swear that their own solutions do not end up working for others. It is not clear how this trial could be conducted in a more scientific way. 12. Why does the author mention the question in paragraph 1? A. To show the possible causes of hiccups. B. To show the terrible effects of hiccups. C. To prove hiccuping is common in our life. D. To prove people are concerned about health. 13. What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about HiccAway? A. Its working principle. B. Its wide popularity. C. Its experimental result. D. Its process of producing. 14. What was the participants’ reaction to HiccAway? A. It led to more hiccups for one-fifth of them. B. It was thought highly of by the majority of them. C. It had no effect on removing hiccups for most of them. D. It helped 11 of them completely get rid of daily hiccups. 15. What can we infer about the study from the text? A. Less volunteers should be involved in the study. B. The study has caught people’s attention on hiccups. C. Many people are believing hiccups can be cured easily. D. There has been no well-recognized cure for hiccups so far. 【答案】12. C 13. A 14. B 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要讲述很多人列举打嗝作为人类最讨厌的问题之一，德克萨斯大学教授阿里·塞菲博士厌倦了传统的治疗打嗝方法，比如喝水或改变呼吸技巧。然后他想出了一个主意，一根吸管可以帮助阻止打嗝。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“In the year 2017, the question “What causes hiccups?” was one of the most searched medical questions.”（在2017年，问题“是什么导致了打嗝？”是医学上搜索最多的问题之一。）以及“That’s how much of an issue these hiccups are and it also reflects that this problem is so widespread in our daily life.”（这就是这些打嗝的严重程度，这也反映了这个问题在我们的日常生活中是如此普遍。）可知作者在第一段提到了这个问题，以证明打嗝在我们的生活中是常见的。故选C。 【13题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第二段“The straw, which is named HiccAway, requires more suction (吸) power than regular straws in order to draw up liquid. Drinking with this straw can lower the diaphragm (隔膜) while first opening it and then closing it. Doing so stimulates the nerves at the same time, allowing the brain to reset and stop the hiccups.”（这种吸管被命名为HiccAway，它需要比普通吸管更多的吸力来吸收液体。使用这种吸管饮用时，可以降低隔膜，先打开它，然后关闭它。这样做同时会刺激神经，让大脑重置并停止打嗝。）可知文章第二段主要讲解的是HiccAway工作原理。故选A。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段“When it comes to the effectiveness, this straw received a score of 4.58 out of 5. About 90% of the participants marked it as more effective than traditional home methods.”（当谈到有效性时，这支吸管获得了4.58分(满分5分)。大约90%的参与者认为它比传统的家庭方法更有效。）可知HiccAway受到了大多数人的高度评价。故选B。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“A lot of people swear that their own solutions do not end up working for others. It is not clear how this trial could be conducted in a more scientific way.”（很多人发誓说他们自己的解决方案最终并不适用于其他人。目前还不清楚如何以更科学的方式进行这项试验。）可知迄今为止，还没有公认的治疗打嗝的方法。故选D。 第二节(共 5 小题;每小题 2.5 分，满分 12.5 分) The job search is exciting because there are so many options for what you can do but for the same reason, it can also be overwhelming.

I take the train, my main commuting (通勤) way, to work every morning from a train station near my house. I can get to the station quite easily as there is a way at the back of the station which provides a great shortcut. In summer, when it’s hot, I always try to rush through it because it can get quite smelly from all the garbage that people throw away. It was one of those days that I was trying to rush through as usual when something made me stop for a moment. I saw the most unexpected and beautiful act by an old woman walking ahead of me with the help of a white stick. The old woman was quite short and thin, and had white hair. I remember that she was wearing a bright orange jacket and she was walking, assisted by a white cane. She was walking slowly as each step took some effort. I hadn’t particularly noticed her at first, until she stopped near a garbage bin. She slowly laid her walking stick against the garbage bin and then leaned on it with her right hand. Then she bent down and reached for the garbage, but she clearly found it difficult and it took her a while. She picked up some garbage off the ground with her left hand and slowly straightened herself up again, all the while using the garbage bin to support herself. She threw the garbage inside the bin, dusted her trousers off and then reached for her walking cane again. She then gradually stood up straight and carried on walking. I was blown away to see this amazing old woman make such a painstaking effort to keep even a small part of the way clean! I haven't been able to stop thinking about that all day. 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。 Inspired by the old woman’s act, I also did my part in keeping the way clean. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Word spread, and our efforts soon caught the attention of the local community. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Inspired by the old woman’s act, I also did my part in keeping the way clean. The next morning, I brought a pair of gloves and a big garbage bag from home before heading to the station. As I walked through the shortcut, I bent down to pick up every piece of trash I saw — crinkled snack bags, empty plastic bottles, and even tiny candy wrappers hidden in the grass. It took me a few extra minutes, but seeing the path grow cleaner made my heart feel light. Later, I started asking my neighbors who also took the train to join me. To my surprise, two of them agreed right away, and soon we formed a small team that cleaned the area every weekday morning.​ Word spread, and our efforts soon caught the attention of the local community. The neighborhood committee heard about what we were doing and provided us with more cleaning supplies — brooms, dustpans, and even trash cans with “Keep Our Home Clean” labels. Some students from the nearby primary school also volunteered on weekends, bringing their parents along too. Gradually, the smelly shortcut transformed into a tidy, pleasant path. Last week, I even saw the old woman with the white stick again. When she walked through the clean path, she stopped for a moment, smiled, and nodded at us gratefully. That small gesture made me realize: a single kind act can spark a chain reaction, making the whole community warmer.​ 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，作者分享通勤时见拄拐老妇费力捡垃圾清洁小路的暖心经历，此行为触动作者，也让作者后续参与到清洁中。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“受这位老妇人行为的启发，我也尽己所能维护这条小路的清洁。”可以预测续写这段主要内容： 作者受老妇启发，带工具清理小路垃圾，还邀邻居加入，组成团队每日清扫。 ②由第二段首句内容“消息传开来，我们的努力很快引起了当地社区的关注。”可以预测续写这段主要内容：社区关注作者等人行动，提供支持，更多人参与，小路变整洁，作者也领悟善举的力量。 2.续写线索： 受老妇启发——清理小路垃圾——邀邻居加入—— 更多人参与——作者感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①.开始：begin/start ②提供：provide/offer ③.看见：see/spot/catch sight of 情绪类 ①.惊讶：surprise/astonishment/amazement ②.感激地：gratefully/thankfully 点睛】[高分句型1].
