Statue of Liberty, New York Forever a symbol of hope and freedom in New York City, the Statue of Liberty is one of the most famous monuments in the United States. Gifted to the US by France in 1886, the statue quickly became known as a National Treasure. Today, over 3 million people a year take the ship to Liberty Island to see the New York landmark up close. Niagara Falls, New York The largest waterfall in North America and one of the most famous landmarks of the USA, Niagara Falls lies on the border between New York and Canada. Niagara Falls State Park’s famous “Maid of the Mist” boat ride takes passengers up to the falls to hear the powerful roar and feel the mist of the water. Over 8 million visitors a year take this journey. Grand Canyon (大峡谷) Arizona Being 278 miles long, 18 miles wide, and over a mile deep, Grand Canyon is the largest canyon in the United States. The area surrounding the Grand Canyon is home to several Native American Reservations and Grand Canyon National Park, one of the most visited National Parks in the USA, with over 5 million visitors a year. Hoover Dam, Nevada Constructed in the 1930s to supply water and hydroelectric power to neighboring desert regions, the Hoover Dam was considered a modern wonder of its time. This Nevada landmark remains the highest concrete arch dam in the US today. The Hoover Dam is one of the most famous landmarks in the USA. with an estimated 7 million tourists visiting every year. 1. Which landmark attracts the most visitors? A. Statue of Liberty. B. Hoover Dam. C. Grand Canyon. D. Niagara Falls. 2. What can we know about Hoover Dam? A It is the largest dam in the world. B. It was a wonder when constructed C. It was built to protect a natural park. D. It is the highest construction in the US. 3. What do the four landmarks have in common? A. They have a long history. B. They are natural attractions. C. They are in the same country. D. They are preserved by the UN. 【答案】1. D 2. B 3. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了四个美国著名的地标：自由女神像、科罗拉多大峡谷、尼亚加拉瀑布以及胡佛水坝。 【1题详解】 细节理解题型。根据文章内容，自由女神像每年游客超过 300 万(over 3 million people)；尼亚加拉瀑布每年游客超过 800万(Over 8 million visitors)；大峡谷每年游客超过 500 万(over 5 million visitors)；胡佛水坝每年游客约 700 万(7 million tourists)。由此可知，尼亚加拉瀑布吸引的游客最多。故选D。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“Constructed in the 1930s to supply water and hydroelectric power to neighboring desert regions, the Hoover Dam was considered a modern wonder of its time.(胡佛水坝建于 20 世纪 30 年代，为邻近的沙漠地区提供水和水电，在当时被认为是现代奇迹)” 可知，胡佛水坝在建造时是一个奇迹。故选 B。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“From the Statue of Liberty to the Grand Canyon, there are many famous landmarks that are must - sees!(从自由女神像到大峡谷，有许多著名的地标是必看的！)”，以及“New York；Arizona；Nevada”可知，它们都在美国。故选C。 B Six years ago, I became friends with Helen Vendler, a famous poetry critic who died this year, after she came to a talk I gave at Harvard about my 1965-66 Fulbright year in Ireland. Our friendship was close at the outset and was deepened by many letters between us. Some critics gain notice by something new they discover in the literature they examine. Helen became the most important critic of the age by dealing with something old and basic — the fact that great poetry was, well, lovable. Her vast knowledge of it was not like anyone else’s, and she embraced (接受) the poets she admired with enthusiasm. I never asked Helen why she had come to my talk in the first place, though I had recognized her immediately. After spending a life with English and American poetry — especially the poetry of Wallace Stevens — how could I not? The tilt (倾斜) of her head, the lines around the mouth that always seemed on the edge of saying something meaningful and the sad-kind-wise eyes of the most significant literary figure since Edmund Wilson. But unlike Wilson, Helen was never forced to show off. She knew as much about American writing as Wilson, and I believe, loved it more. When recently the American Academy of Arts and Letters awarded Helen the Gold Medal for Belles Lettres and Criticism, she told me it caught her completely off guard, and joked perhaps the committee had made their decision based on her advanced age — and if so, she saw no reason to object. Shelley called poets the “unacknowledged legislators (立法者) of the world.” I never fully got that famous line. But if the legislators’ laws apply to feeling and conduct, I think he was onto something. If one reads poetry as deeply as Helen did, and stays with it, and lets it roll around in one’s head, the effect is transporting. You find yourself better understanding feelings and language. 4. What made Helen famous as a critic? A. She pushed the study of poetry a big step forward. B. She built harmonious relationships with many poets. C. She had a remarkable ability to discover new poetry. D. She focused on something old and essential about poetry. 5. In what way did Helen differ from Wilson? A. She was less engaged in English poetry. B. She cared little about gaining reputation. C. She knew more about American writing. D. She was better at using different facial expressions. 6. How did Helen feel when informed of the award? A. Surprised. B. Nervous. C. Excited. D. Grateful. 7. Why does the author mention Shelley’s line in the last paragraph? A. To offer Helen’s interpretation of the poem. B. To demonstrate Shelley’s influence on Helen. C. To recognize Helen’s approach to reading poetry. D. To highlight the similarity between Shelley and Helen. 【答案】4. D 5. B 6. A 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述作者与著名诗歌评论家海伦·文德勒的友谊及海伦的文学成就与影响。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Helen became the most important critic of the age by dealing with something old and basic — the fact that great poetry was, well, lovable.(海伦通过探讨古老而基本的东西成为了这个时代最重要的评论家——即伟大的诗歌是可爱的这一事实。)”可知，海伦作为评论家闻名是因为她关注诗歌中古老且本质的东西。故选D项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“But unlike Wilson, Helen was never forced to show off. She knew as much about American writing as Wilson, and I believe, loved it more.(但与威尔逊不同，海伦从不强迫自己炫耀。她对美国文学的了解和威尔逊一样多，而且我相信，她更热爱美国文学。)”可知，海伦与威尔逊的不同之处在于她不刻意追求名声（不炫耀）。故选B项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“When recently the American Academy of Arts and Letters awarded Helen the Gold Medal for Belles Lettes and Criticism, she told me it caught her completely off guard, and joked perhaps the committee had made their decision based on her advanced age — and if so, she saw no reason to object.(最近美国艺术与文学学院授予海伦文学与批评金奖时，她告诉我这完全出乎她的意料。她开玩笑说，也许委员会是基于她的高龄做出的决定 —— 如果是这样的话，她觉得没有理由反对。)”可知，得知自己获奖后，她很惊讶，认为自己获奖是因为年龄优势。故选A项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“But if the legislators’ laws apply to feeling and conduct, I think he was onto something. If one reads poetry as deeply as Helen did, and stays with it, and lets it roll around in one’s head, the effect is transporting.(但如果立法者的法律适用于情感和行为，我认为他说得有道理。如果一个人像海伦那样深入地阅读诗歌，沉浸其中，并让它在脑海中流转，效果是令人神往的。)”可知，作者引用雪莱的话是为了认可海伦解读诗歌的方式（即深入阅读并让诗歌影响情感与行为）。故选C项。 C We often find it hard to tear our eyes away from screens — an urge so intense that it messes with our focus and our cognitive (认知的) health, which is known as “brain rot”. The Oxford Dictionary defines it as the degradation of mental state due to overconsumption of online content. It refers to the dull stuff on social media and its negative impact on brain health. “There’s an arms race to develop digital content and platforms that can grab people’s attention and compete in a digital market,” says Adam Leventhal, a professor at the University of Southern California. “Digital content and platforms that win the arms race are increasingly addictive.” Dr. Leventhal adds, “They pull people into ‘digital addiction’ and expose consumers to unhealthy content.” Though not an official diagnosis (诊断), “brain rot” can cause cognitive and emotional problems. “Too much screen time can negatively affect attention, concentration, learning, memory, emotional regulation, and social functioning,” Dr. Manwell says. “Brain rot” occurs as screen time replaces activities beneficial to the brain, such as exercise and socializing. Passive, rapid scrolling while multitasking or trying to work or study at the same time also contributes, resulting in divided and reduced attentional resources and leading to poorer learning and memory capabilities. Manwell says, “There are often also corresponding effects on the brain such as reduced gray matter and white matter, leading to damaged processing capacity and efficiency.” To fight against “brain rot”, changes can be made. Manwell suggests altering digital media habits, like taking screen breaks and limiting certain apps. There are apps to track screen time and enforce digital detox. For long-term improvement, Manwell recommends replacing screen time with activities like meditation, exercise, and learning new skills. If screen use is work-related, find alternatives like printing materials or having in-person meetings. When on a screen, focus merely on the task to decline multitasking’s negative effects. Overall, being aware and making lifestyle adjustments can help prevent and reverse (逆转) the impact of “brain rot”. 8. According to the text, what do we know about “brain rot”? A. A kind of serious disease officially diagnosed by doctors. B. The loss of cognitive abilities caused by using digital platforms. C. The negative impact of overusing digital devices on physical health. D. The decline of mental well-being due to overconsuming online materials. 9. What can we infer from Adam Leventhal’s words? A. The competition among digital contents and platforms is fierce. B. Digital platforms are developed to help people improve their mental health. C. The digital content that wins the attention competition is usually less addictive. D. The development of digital content and platforms leads to some negative effects. 10. What does the underlined phrase “digital detox” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Using digital devices frequently. B. Taking a break from digital devices. C. Giving up using digital technologies. D. Replacing with advanced digital products. 11. What is the main theme of the text? A. The harms and solutions of “brain rot”. B. The effect of addictive digital platforms. C. The importance of socializing in daily life. D. The impact of “brain rot” on digital device. 【答案】8. D 9. D 10. B 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了过度使用数字设备导致的“脑退化”现象，其成因，并提出应对策略。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“We often find it hard to tear our eyes away from screens — an urge so intense that it messes with our focus and our cognitive health, which is known as “brain rot”. The Oxford Dictionary defines it as the degradation of mental state due to overconsumption of online content. It refers to the dull stuff on social media and its negative impact on brain health. (我们常常发现很难将目光从屏幕上移开 —— 这种冲动如此强烈，以至于扰乱了我们的注意力和认知健康，这就是所谓的“脑疲劳”。《牛津词典》将其定义为由于过度消费网络内容而导致的精神状态退化。它指的是社交媒体上的那些无趣内容，以及这些内容对大脑健康产生的负面影响。)”可知，brain rot是由于过度消费网络材料导致的心理健康下降。故选D。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中““Digital content and platforms that win the arms race are increasingly addictive.” Dr. Leventhal adds, “They pull people into ‘digital addiction’ and expose consumers to unhealthy content.” (“在数字竞争中胜出的数字内容和平台正变得越来越容易让人上瘾。”莱文索尔博士补充道，“它们将人们拖入‘数字成瘾’的漩涡，并让消费者接触到不健康的内容。”)”可知，数字内容和平台的发展导致了一些负面影响。故选D。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段中“Manwell suggests altering digital media habits, like taking screen breaks and limiting certain apps. There are apps to track screen time and enforce digital detox. (Manwell建议改变数字媒体习惯，比如屏幕休息和限制某些应用程序。有一些应用程序可以跟踪屏幕时间并强制进行digital detox。)”可知，Manwell建议限制使用屏幕时间，可推测出digital detox意思是“远离数字设备，从数字设备中休息一下”，与Taking a break from digital devices意思相符。故选B。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，根据第一段“We often find it hard to tear our eyes away from screens — an urge so intense that it messes with our focus and our cognitive health, which is known as “brain rot”. The Oxford Dictionary defines it as the degradation of mental state due to overconsumption of online content. It refers to the dull stuff on social media and its negative impact on brain health. (我们常常发现很难将目光从屏幕上移开 —— 这种冲动如此强烈，以至于扰乱了我们的注意力和认知健康，这就是所谓的“脑疲劳”。《牛津词典》将其定义为由于过度消费网络内容而导致的精神状态退化。它指的是社交媒体上的那些无趣内容，以及这些内容对大脑健康产生的负面影响。)”可知，文章先是详细阐述了brain rot是什么以及它会引发认知和情感方面的问题等一系列负面后果， 比如影响注意力、 学习、记忆等，后面又着重介绍了为对抗brain rot可以采取的一些措施，像改变数字媒体使用习惯、用其他有益活动替代屏幕时间等。所以整体主题是围绕brain rot的危害以及解决办法展开的。故选A。 D A number of well-known factors, including exposure to UV radiation, genetics, and aging, can lead to cataracts (白内障), a condition affecting roughly 94 million people, in which the lenses of the eyes become cloudy, causing blurry vision. But in recent years, researchers have found another causative (成为原因的) factor for cataracts and other eye disorders: climate change. Climate change is increasing risks to eye health in multiple ways. First it is making the planet hotter. Body temperatures reaching 40 degrees Celsius (104 degrees Fahrenheit) can cause heatstroke, a condition that disrupts biological processes throughout the body. In the eyes, heatstroke damages the natural defense systems that normally fight against the buildup of harmful molecules called reactive oxygen species, explains Lucía Lucas, an ophthalmologist at Hospital of La Axarquía in Spain’s Málaga province. Another way global warming is contributing to eye disorders is by increasing our exposure to UV radiation, according to Lucas and study co-author José María, a geographer at the University of Málaga. Some of this exposure is driven by behavior — people tend to spend more time outdoors when it’s warm. But in some places, such as Southern California and the Costa del Sol in Spain, hot, dry winds decrease the water vapor in the air that would normally absorb UV radiation, resulting in greater UV exposure. UV radiation also generates reactive oxygen species that damage the eye lens and can directly damage the DNA of lens cells, Lucas adds. There are ways to protect the eyes from climate-driven damage. First and foremost, outdoor workers should be given sufficient shade and frequent breaks to cool down, says Jesús Rodrigo, a geographer at the University of Granada and a co-author of the Spanish study. He also recommends wearing a hat with a visor (遮阳帽舌) that shields the eyes, as well as UV-filtering sunglasses: Sunglasses offer nearly 38 percent more protection than wearing nothing, Rodrigo says. 12 How does heatstroke damage eyes? A. By accelerating aging of eye lenses. B. By raising body temperature to 104°F. C. By directly clouding the eye’s lens structure. D. By weakening defenses against harmful molecules. 13. Why do some regions have increased UV exposure? A. Clouds fail to block UV radiation. B. Hot winds reduce UV-absorbing water vapor. C. People outdoors neglect UV protection. D. Higher temperatures increase UV intensity. 14. What can be inferred about eye protection? A. Combining strategies offers better protection. B. Hats with visors block more UV than sunglasses. C. Sunglasses alone prevent most climate-related damage. D. Outdoor workers face lower risks with frequent breaks. 15. Which title best summarizes the text? A. Global Crisis: Climate Change Blindness B. UV Radiation’s Role in Cataract Formation C. Fighting Reactive Oxygen in Eye Disorders D. Climate Change: An Emerging Eye Health Threat 【答案】12. D 13. B 14. A 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍气候变化成为白内障等眼疾的新诱因及其对眼睛健康的影响和防护方法。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“In the eyes, heatstroke damages the natural defense systems that normally fight against the buildup of harmful molecules called reactive oxygen species, explains Lucía Lucas, an ophthalmologist at Hospital of La Axarquía in Spain’s Málaga province.(西班牙马拉加省拉阿克萨基亚医院的眼科医生露西娅·卢卡斯解释说，在眼睛中，中暑会破坏自然防御系统，而该系统通常能对抗被称为活性氧的有害分子的积累。)”可知，中暑通过削弱眼睛对有害分子的防御系统来损害眼睛。故选D项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“But in some places, such as Southern California and the Costa del Sol in Spain, hot, dry winds decrease the water vapor in the air that would normally absorb UV radiation, resulting in greater UV exposure.(但在一些地方，如南加州和西班牙的太阳海岸，干热的风减少了空气中通常会吸收紫外线辐射的水蒸气，导致更多的紫外线暴露。)”可知，一些地区紫外线暴露增加是因为热风减少了吸收紫外线的水蒸气。故选B项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“He also recommends wearing a hat with a visor (遮阳帽舌) that shields the eyes, as well as UV-filtering sunglasses: Sunglasses offer nearly 38 percent more protection than wearing nothing, Rodrigo says.(他还建议戴一顶有遮阳帽舌的帽子来保护眼睛，以及佩戴防紫外线太阳镜。罗德里戈说，太阳镜比什么都不戴多提供近38%的保护。)”可知，结合戴遮阳帽和防紫外线太阳镜等多种策略能提供更好的眼部防护。故选A项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，第一段点明气候变化是白内障等眼疾的新诱因，随后介绍气候变化通过高温和紫外线增加危害眼睛健康的具体方式，最后给出防护建议，因此“气候变化通过多重路径加剧眼疾风险”最能概括全文主旨，适合作为本文的标题。故选D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。 Whether things go right or wrong, feedback is always necessary. ____16____ However, providing effective feedback is not easy, as it typically requires several components. Now let’s examine each of them. Start on a positive note. Constructive criticism should always start on a positive note. It feels unfair and rude if someone tells you everything you did wrong without acknowledging your achievements. So when giving feedback, don’t just note the mistakes the receivers have made. ____17____ Be specific. Effective feedback needs to be specific. Inform the receivers precisely what aspects require improvement so they can identify and address those areas. For example, don’t say, “Your presentation was unclear. ” Instead, say something like, “The introduction of your presentation was a bit confusing. ____18____ ” This way, the receiver knows exactly what to concentrate on and can make more targeted improvements. ____19____ The whole point of feedback is to help someone make changes for the better. So you should provide ideas on how to improve. It’s crucial, however, to ensure that your ideas are actionable. For instance, “You need to work on your communication skills” sounds too general. It would be much better if you say, “Try practicing active listening and summarizing what others say to ensure you understand them fully. ” Be timely. ____20____ It only works if it happens very close to an issue arising. For example, say you’re with a coworker and notice something in the sales pitch he is working on. Instead of waiting for him to run into problems, provide the feedback right away. This gives the receiver the chance to make changes and avoid problems. A. Offer practical advice. B. Focus on making changes. C. It helps us learn from our mistakes and grow. D. It lacks a clear topic sentence at the beginning. E. Feedback isn’t of much use if it comes too late. F. The feedback acknowledges the hard work the person did. G. Instead, begin by recognizing their effort and what they got right. 【答案】16. C 17. G 18. D 19. A 20. E 【解析】 【分析】本文是说明文。主要说明了提供有效反馈的几个关键要素，包括以积极的方式开始、具体明确、提供实用的建议以及及时反馈。 【16题详解】 根据前文“Whether things go right or wrong, feedback is always necessary.(无论事情是对是错，反馈总是必要的)”以及后文“However, providing effective feedback is not easy, as it typically requires several components.(然而，提供有效的反馈并不容易，因为它通常需要几个组件)”可知，前文提到反馈是必要的，后文讲述有效的反馈并不容易，所以空处应填过渡句，C项“It helps us learn from our mistakes and grow.(它帮助我们从错误中学习和成长)”可知，承接上文，并和后文构成转折关系，符合文意。故选C项。 【17题详解】 设空位于段尾，应是对前文的总结，根据前文“Start on a positive note. Constructive criticism should always start on a positive note. It feels unfair and rude if someone tells you everything you did wrong without acknowledging your achievements. So when giving feedback, don’t just note the mistakes the receivers have made.(以积极的态度开始。建设性的批评应该总是以积极的语气开始。如果有人告诉你你做错了什么而不承认你的成就，你会觉得不公平和粗鲁。所以在给予反馈时，不要只注意到接受者所犯的错误)”可知，本段讲述反馈时，用积极的态度进行反馈，不要只注意到接受者所犯的错误，所以G项“Instead, begin by recognizing their effort and what they got right.(相反，从承认他们的努力和他们做对了什么开始)”和前文构成转折关系，是对前文的总结，符合文意。故选G项。 【18题详解】 设空位于引号内，应是承接前文内容，根据前文“Be specific. Effective feedback needs to be specific. Inform the receivers precisely what aspects require improvement so they can identify and address those areas. For example, don’t say, “Your presentation was unclear. ” Instead, say something like, “The introduction of your presentation was a bit confusing.”(要具体。有效的反馈必须是具体的。准确地告知接收者哪些方面需要改进，以便他们能够识别和解决这些领域。例如，不要说，“你的演讲很不清楚。”相反，你可以这样说：“你的介绍有点令人困惑”)”可知，D项“It lacks a clear topic sentence at the beginning.(开头缺少一个清晰的主题句)”符合本段主题，是对他人问题的具体反馈，说明演讲的具体问题。故选D项。 【19题详解】 设空位于段首，是本段的中心句，根据后文“The whole point of feedback is to help someone make changes for the better. So you should provide ideas on how to improve. It’s crucial, however, to ensure that your ideas are actionable. For instance, “You need to work on your communication skills” sounds too general. It would be much better if you say, “Try practicing active listening and summarizing what others say to ensure you understand them fully. ”(反馈的全部意义在于帮助别人做出更好的改变。所以你应该提供如何改进的想法。然而，确保你的想法是可行的是至关重要的。例如，“你需要提高你的沟通技巧”听起来太笼统了。如果你说：“试着练习积极倾听和总结别人说的话，以确保你完全理解他们。”)”可知，本段讲述反馈应提供实用的建议。A项“提供实用的建议”符合语境，故选A项。 【20题详解】 根据前文“Be timely.(要及时)”可知，本段讲述反馈需及时，所以E项“Feedback isn’t of much use if it comes too late.(如果反馈来得太晚，它就没有多大用处)”是对前文的解释，符合文意。故选E项。 第三部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 When I was 12 years old, I already knew my teen years were going to be the worst years of my life.

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

As long as she was free at home, she would turn on the TV, and follow the dance tutorials step by step. Over time, she had learned a great deal from those TV programs, mastering various dance moves that made her look like a professional dancer. When the school put up a notice announcing the upcoming New Year’s Eve party, which included a dance performance section, a strong desire welled up in Alice’s chest. She imagined herself dancing to her favorite music on the bright stage, and receiving cheers from the audience. But the beautiful vision quickly faded when she thought about her family. The image of her sick father lying in bed, and her mother working day and night to earn money to support the family popped into her mind. She was quite sure her family couldn’t afford the expensive performing dress. With a heavy sigh, she made up her mind to give up the chance. One afternoon, Alice found a quiet corner in the classroom to call her mom. She took out her old, worn-out phone, her fingers hovering over the dial button for a moment before pressing it. When her mom’s voice came through the phone, Alice’s eyes immediately became wet. “Mom, I... I won’t join the dance show at the New Year’s Eve party,” she said, trying her best to make her voice sound calm. “It’s not necessary. The dress needed for the performance is too costly…” She bit her lower lip to hold back the tears, not wanting her mom to worry. Little did Alice know that her best friends, Anna and Estelle, had walked past the classroom and heard her words. They stopped in their tracks, looking at each other with heavy hearts. Anna’s eyes were filled with sympathy, and Estelle gently bit her lip, feeling sorry for Alice. They knew how much Alice loved dancing, and it pained them to hear her give up her dream like that. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1 Anna and Estelle decided to do something to help. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2 The next day, Alice was surprised when Anna and Estelle came to her with a big bag. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】例文 Paragraph 1 Anna and Estelle decided to do something to help. They walked away from the classroom, brainstorming ways to make Alice’s dream come true. “We can use the pocket money we’ve saved,” Estelle said. Anna nodded vigorously, “And we can learn the dance with her, so that she won’t be alone on the stage.” After school, they secretly registered a dance performance and headed to the dance supply store. They carefully picked out a light blue dress — they thought it would match Alice perfectly and bought two identical dresses for themselves. Paragraph 2 The next day, Alice was surprised when Anna and Estelle came to her with a big bag. “What’s this?” she asked, eyeing the bags curiously. Anna smiled and pulled out the blue dress. “For you,” she said softly. Alice’s eyes widened in surprise. “But... I can’t accept this,” she stammered, tears starting to form. “We’re performing together,” Estelle said, grinning. “Thank you,” Alice hugged her friends tightly. From that day on, they practiced every afternoon, their laughter filling the gym. When the New Year’s Eve party arrived, they danced beautifully on stage, their dresses shining under the lights. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了热爱舞蹈爱丽丝，看到学校新年晚会有舞蹈表演，因家庭经济困难，父亲生病，母亲日夜工作，买不起昂贵的表演服装，无奈决定放弃参加。她的好朋友安娜和埃斯特尔偶然听到她与母亲的通话，决定帮助她。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“安娜和埃斯特尔决定做点什么来帮忙。”可知，第一段可描写描述安娜和埃斯特尔帮助爱丽丝的具体行动。比如，两人商量用自己的零花钱，为爱丽丝买表演服装，还打算和她一起表演，之后去舞蹈用品店挑选裙子。 ②由第二段首句内容“第二天，当安娜和埃斯特尔拿着一个大袋子来找爱丽丝时，她感到十分惊讶。”可知，第二段可描写爱丽丝看到朋友带来袋子时的反应，以及朋友们说明来意，爱丽丝感动，随后三人一起排练，最后在晚会上精彩表演。 2.续写线索：决定帮忙—商量办法（用零花钱、一起表演）—去舞蹈用品店买裙子—朋友带着袋子来找爱丽丝—拿出裙子说明来意—爱丽丝感动—一起排练—晚会上精彩表演 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①看：eye /stare at ②挑选：pick out /select ③拥抱：hug /embrace 情绪类 ①惊讶：surprise /astonishment ②有力地，精力充沛地：vigorously /energetically 【点睛】[高分句型1] They walked away from the classroom, brainstorming ways to make Alice’s dream come true.（运用了现在分词作状语） [高分句型2] From that day on, they practiced every afternoon, their laughter filling the gym.（运用了独立主格结构） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 高2026届10月月考英语试题 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个听力小题，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．How will the woman go to the airport?

Statue of Liberty, New York Forever a symbol of hope and freedom in New York City, the Statue of Liberty is one of the most famous monuments in the United States. Gifted to the US by France in 1886, the statue quickly became known as a National Treasure. Today, over 3 million people a year take the ship to Liberty Island to see the New York landmark up close. Niagara Falls, New York The largest waterfall in North America and one of the most famous landmarks of the USA, Niagara Falls lies on the border between New York and Canada. Niagara Falls State Park’s famous “Maid of the Mist” boat ride takes passengers up to the falls to hear the powerful roar and feel the mist of the water. Over 8 million visitors a year take this journey. Grand Canyon (大峡谷), Arizona Being 278 miles long, 18 miles wide, and over a mile deep, Grand Canyon is the largest canyon in the United States. The area surrounding the Grand Canyon is home to several Native American Reservations and Grand Canyon National Park, one of the most visited National Parks in the USA, with over 5 million visitors a year. Hoover Dam, Nevada Constructed in the 1930s to supply water and hydroelectric power to neighboring desert regions, the Hoover Dam was considered a modern wonder of its time. This Nevada landmark remains the highest concrete arch dam in the US today. The Hoover Dam is one of the most famous landmarks in the USA. with an estimated 7 million tourists visiting every year. 1. Which landmark attracts the most visitors? A Statue of Liberty. B. Hoover Dam. C. Grand Canyon. D. Niagara Falls. 2. What can we know about Hoover Dam? A. It is the largest dam in the world. B. It was a wonder when constructed C. It was built to protect a natural park. D. It is the highest construction in the US. 3 What do the four landmarks have in common? A. They have a long history. B. They are natural attractions. C. They are in the same country. D. They are preserved by the UN. B Six years ago, I became friends with Helen Vendler, a famous poetry critic who died this year, after she came to a talk I gave at Harvard about my 1965-66 Fulbright year in Ireland. Our friendship was close at the outset and was deepened by many letters between us. Some critics gain notice by something new they discover in the literature they examine. Helen became the most important critic of the age by dealing with something old and basic — the fact that great poetry was, well, lovable. Her vast knowledge of it was not like anyone else’s, and she embraced (接受) the poets she admired with enthusiasm. I never asked Helen why she had come to my talk in the first place, though I had recognized her immediately. After spending a life with English and American poetry — especially the poetry of Wallace Stevens — how could I not? The tilt (倾斜) of her head, the lines around the mouth that always seemed on the edge of saying something meaningful and the sad-kind-wise eyes of the most significant literary figure since Edmund Wilson. But unlike Wilson, Helen was never forced to show off. She knew as much about American writing as Wilson, and I believe, loved it more. When recently the American Academy of Arts and Letters awarded Helen the Gold Medal for Belles Lettres and Criticism, she told me it caught her completely off guard, and joked perhaps the committee had made their decision based on her advanced age — and if so, she saw no reason to object. Shelley called poets the “unacknowledged legislators (立法者) of the world.” I never fully got that famous line. But if the legislators’ laws apply to feeling and conduct, I think he was onto something. If one reads poetry as deeply as Helen did, and stays with it, and lets it roll around in one’s head, the effect is transporting. You find yourself better understanding feelings and language. 4. What made Helen famous as a critic? A. She pushed the study of poetry a big step forward. B. She built harmonious relationships with many poets. C. She had a remarkable ability to discover new poetry. D. She focused on something old and essential about poetry. 5. In what way did Helen differ from Wilson? A. She was less engaged in English poetry. B. She cared little about gaining reputation. C. She knew more about American writing. D. She was better at using different facial expressions. 6. How did Helen feel when informed of the award? A. Surprised. B. Nervous. C. Excited. D. Grateful. 7. Why does the author mention Shelley’s line in the last paragraph? A. To offer Helen’s interpretation of the poem. B. To demonstrate Shelley’s influence on Helen. C. To recognize Helen’s approach to reading poetry. D. To highlight the similarity between Shelley and Helen. C We often find it hard to tear our eyes away from screens — an urge so intense that it messes with our focus and our cognitive (认知的) health, which is known as “brain rot”. The Oxford Dictionary defines it as the degradation of mental state due to overconsumption of online content. It refers to the dull stuff on social media and its negative impact on brain health. “There’s an arms race to develop digital content and platforms that can grab people’s attention and compete in a digital market,” says Adam Leventhal, a professor at the University of Southern California. “Digital content and platforms that win the arms race are increasingly addictive.” Dr. Leventhal adds, “They pull people into ‘digital addiction’ and expose consumers to unhealthy content.” Though not an official diagnosis (诊断), “brain rot” can cause cognitive and emotional problems. “Too much screen time can negatively affect attention, concentration, learning, memory, emotional regulation, and social functioning,” Dr. Manwell says. “Brain rot” occurs as screen time replaces activities beneficial to the brain, such as exercise and socializing. Passive, rapid scrolling while multitasking or trying to work or study at the same time also contributes, resulting in divided and reduced attentional resources and leading to poorer learning and memory capabilities. Manwell says, “There are often also corresponding effects on the brain such as reduced gray matter and white matter, leading to damaged processing capacity and efficiency.” To fight against “brain rot”, changes can be made. Manwell suggests altering digital media habits, like taking screen breaks and limiting certain apps. There are apps to track screen time and enforce digital detox. For long-term improvement, Manwell recommends replacing screen time with activities like meditation, exercise, and learning new skills. If screen use is work-related, find alternatives like printing materials or having in-person meetings. When on a screen, focus merely on the task to decline multitasking’s negative effects. Overall, being aware and making lifestyle adjustments can help prevent and reverse (逆转) the impact of “brain rot”. 8. According to the text, what do we know about “brain rot”? A. A kind of serious disease officially diagnosed by doctors. B The loss of cognitive abilities caused by using digital platforms. C. The negative impact of overusing digital devices on physical health. D. The decline of mental well-being due to overconsuming online materials. 9. What can we infer from Adam Leventhal’s words? A. The competition among digital contents and platforms is fierce. B. Digital platforms are developed to help people improve their mental health. C. The digital content that wins the attention competition is usually less addictive. D. The development of digital content and platforms leads to some negative effects. 10. What does the underlined phrase “digital detox” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Using digital devices frequently. B. Taking a break from digital devices. C. Giving up using digital technologies. D. Replacing with advanced digital products. 11. What is the main theme of the text? A. The harms and solutions of “brain rot”. B. The effect of addictive digital platforms. C. The importance of socializing in daily life. D. The impact of “brain rot” on digital device. D A number of well-known factors, including exposure to UV radiation, genetics, and aging, can lead to cataracts (白内障), a condition affecting roughly 94 million people, in which the lenses of the eyes become cloudy, causing blurry vision. But in recent years, researchers have found another causative (成为原因的) factor for cataracts and other eye disorders: climate change. Climate change is increasing risks to eye health in multiple ways. First, it is making the planet hotter. Body temperatures reaching 40 degrees Celsius (104 degrees Fahrenheit) can cause heatstroke, a condition that disrupts biological processes throughout the body. In the eyes, heatstroke damages the natural defense systems that normally fight against the buildup of harmful molecules called reactive oxygen species, explains Lucía Lucas, an ophthalmologist at Hospital of La Axarquía in Spain’s Málaga province. Another way global warming is contributing to eye disorders is by increasing our exposure to UV radiation, according to Lucas and study co-author José María, a geographer at the University of Málaga. Some of this exposure is driven by behavior — people tend to spend more time outdoors when it’s warm. But in some places, such as Southern California and the Costa del Sol in Spain, hot, dry winds decrease the water vapor in the air that would normally absorb UV radiation, resulting in greater UV exposure. UV radiation also generates reactive oxygen species that damage the eye lens and can directly damage the DNA of lens cells, Lucas adds. There are ways to protect the eyes from climate-driven damage. First and foremost, outdoor workers should be given sufficient shade and frequent breaks to cool down, says Jesús Rodrigo, a geographer at the University of Granada and a co-author of the Spanish study. He also recommends wearing a hat with a visor (遮阳帽舌) that shields the eyes, as well as UV-filtering sunglasses: Sunglasses offer nearly 38 percent more protection than wearing nothing, Rodrigo says. 12. How does heatstroke damage eyes? A. By accelerating aging of eye lenses. B. By raising body temperature to 104°F. C. By directly clouding the eye’s lens structure. D. By weakening defenses against harmful molecules. 13. Why do some regions have increased UV exposure? A. Clouds fail to block UV radiation. B. Hot winds reduce UV-absorbing water vapor. C. People outdoors neglect UV protection. D. Higher temperatures increase UV intensity. 14. What can be inferred about eye protection? A. Combining strategies offers better protection. B. Hats with visors block more UV than sunglasses. C. Sunglasses alone prevent most climate-related damage. D. Outdoor workers face lower risks with frequent breaks. 15. Which title best summarizes the text? A. Global Crisis: Climate Change Blindness B. UV Radiation’s Role in Cataract Formation C. Fighting Reactive Oxygen in Eye Disorders D.

Now let’s examine each of them. Start on a positive note. Constructive criticism should always start on a positive note. It feels unfair and rude if someone tells you everything you did wrong without acknowledging your achievements. So when giving feedback, don’t just note the mistakes the receivers have made. ____17____ Be specific. Effective feedback needs to be specific. Inform the receivers precisely what aspects require improvement so they can identify and address those areas. For example, don’t say, “Your presentation was unclear. ” Instead, say something like, “The introduction of your presentation was a bit confusing. ____18____ ” This way, the receiver knows exactly what to concentrate on and can make more targeted improvements. ____19____ The whole point of feedback is to help someone make changes for the better. So you should provide ideas on how to improve. It’s crucial, however, to ensure that your ideas are actionable. For instance, “You need to work on your communication skills” sounds too general. It would be much better if you say, “Try practicing active listening and summarizing what others say to ensure you understand them fully. ” Be timely. ____20____ It only works if it happens very close to an issue arising. For example, say you’re with a coworker and notice something in the sales pitch he is working on. Instead of waiting for him to run into problems, provide the feedback right away. This gives the receiver the chance to make changes and avoid problems. A. Offer practical advice. B. Focus on making changes. C. It helps us learn from our mistakes and grow. D It lacks a clear topic sentence at the beginning. E. Feedback isn’t of much use if it comes too late. F. The feedback acknowledges the hard work the person did. G. Instead, begin by recognizing their effort and what they got right. 第三部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 When I was 12 years old, I already knew my teen years were going to be the worst years of my life.

As long as she was free at home, she would turn on the TV, and follow the dance tutorials step by step. Over time, she had learned a great deal from those TV programs, mastering various dance moves that made her look like a professional dancer. When the school put up a notice announcing the upcoming New Year’s Eve party, which included a dance performance section, a strong desire welled up in Alice’s chest. She imagined herself dancing to her favorite music on the bright stage, and receiving cheers from the audience. But the beautiful vision quickly faded when she thought about her family. The image of her sick father lying in bed, and her mother working day and night to earn money to support the family popped into her mind. She was quite sure her family couldn’t afford the expensive performing dress. With a heavy sigh, she made up her mind to give up the chance. One afternoon, Alice found a quiet corner in the classroom to call her mom. She took out her old, worn-out phone, her fingers hovering over the dial button for a moment before pressing it. When her mom’s voice came through the phone, Alice’s eyes immediately became wet. “Mom, I... I won’t join the dance show at the New Year’s Eve party,” she said, trying her best to make her voice sound calm. “It’s not necessary. The dress needed for the performance is too costly…” She bit her lower lip to hold back the tears, not wanting her mom to worry. Little did Alice know that her best friends, Anna and Estelle, had walked past the classroom and heard her words. They stopped in their tracks, looking at each other with heavy hearts. Anna’s eyes were filled with sympathy, and Estelle gently bit her lip, feeling sorry for Alice. They knew how much Alice loved dancing, and it pained them to hear her give up her dream like that. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1 Anna and Estelle decided to do something to help. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2 The next day, Alice was surprised when Anna and Estelle came to her with a big bag. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
