Her son James, a navy flight surgeon, was fatally injured in a mission and passed away. It was time for Lynn to honour the spirit of a man who had switched from studying commerce engineering to medicine because he wanted to help people. Lynn instructed the hospital to begin the organ donation process. These few words, as hard as they were to say, would soon ripple outward, allowing a man to return to work, a veteran to regain his health, and a cyclist to get back on his bike. Mike was diagnosed with leukemia in 2004. Six years of treatment and exercise paid off. To celebrate his sixth year without cancer, Mike decided to ride his bike to New York. Unfortunately, his health deteriorated and one evening in 2017, he started having chest pains. That was when a mother’s very worst day became a stranger’s best. James’ heart was beating in the cancer survivor’s chest now. The morning he woke up from the transplant, Mike found himself recharged. Of the four letters Lynn had sent to the recipients, one reached Mike. Lynn described her son’s devotion to his country, the fact that he considered everyone a friend, and his love for scuba diving, snowboarding, and motorcycling. These pages painted a picture of just how special his new heart was. Mike carefully composed a response, accurately expressing his gratitude and communicating his desire to stay in touch with James’ family. It was a balm (药膏) for a wound that Lynn felt would never heal. And so began the emails and texts. She even began following Mike’s Instagram posts. “Knowing he was doing well really helped,” she says. During his recovery, Mike had hatched a plan to cycle cross-country again, from the hospital that treated him to James’ grave. When he began the 1,430-mile journey in 2019, Lynn followed anxiously on his Instagram. Despite setbacks—steep climbs, wrong turns, flat tires—Mike pressed on. On November 20, he arrived at James’ grave, where Lynn waited. They hugged. Then came the tears—not of sorrow, but relief. A part of James lived on, and two strangers connected by loss and hope became family. 4. What does the underlined word “deteriorated” mean in paragraph 2? A. declined. B. Improved. C. Recovered. D. Stabilized. 5. What is the main idea of paragraph 4? A. Mother’s love for her son. B. James’ amazing personalities. C. Mike’s thoughtful response. D. Interaction between Lynn and Mike. 6. Why did Mike cycle cross-country in 2019? A. To test his physical strength B. To show his great gratitude. C. To raise fund for organ donation. D. To pick up his former hobby. 7. What is the best title for the text? A. Organ donation matters. B. A great heart beats on. C. A cross-country cyclist survives. D. Social media connects people. 【答案】4. A 5. D 6. B 7. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。2018年琳恩之子詹姆斯牺牲后捐器官，其心脏救了迈克。二人通过书信等互动，迈克2019年骑行至詹姆斯墓前致谢，二人因爱与希望相连。 【4题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段“Six years of treatment and exercise paid off. To celebrate his sixth year without cancer, Mike decided to ride his bike to New York. Unfortunately, his health deteriorated and one evening in 2017, he started having chest pains. (六年的治疗和锻炼有了成效。为了庆祝自己抗癌成功六周年，迈克决定骑自行车去纽约。不幸的是，他的健康状况 deteriorated，2017年的一个晚上，他开始胸痛。)”可知，unfortunately表转折，说明健康状况从“好转”转向糟糕，最终引发胸痛，deteriorated应意为“恶化、下降”，与 A选项“declined(衰退、恶化)” 一致。故选A项。 【5题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第四段“Of the four letters Lynn had sent to the recipients, one reached Mike. Lynn described her son’s devotion to his country, the fact that he considered everyone a friend, and his love for scuba diving, snowboarding, and motorcycling. These pages painted a picture of just how special his new heart was. Mike carefully composed a response, accurately expressing his gratitude and communicating his desire to stay in touch with James’ family. It was a balm (药膏) for a wound that Lynn felt would never heal. And so began the emails and texts. She even began following Mike’s Instagram posts.(琳恩寄给四位收件人的信中，有一封送到了迈克手里。信里，她讲述了儿子对国家的忠诚、视所有人为朋友的待人之道，以及他对水肺潜水、单板滑雪和摩托车运动的热爱。这些文字生动勾勒出那颗新心脏的主人曾是多么特别。迈克精心写了回信，既真切表达了感激之情，也提出希望与詹姆斯一家保持联系。这封信就像一剂药膏，抚慰着琳恩那道本以为永远无法愈合的伤口。自此，两人开始互通邮件与信息，琳恩甚至还关注了迈克的照片墙动态。)”可知，该段核心围绕琳恩与迈克的互动展开，包括发信、回信及后续线上关注。故选D项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“During his recovery, Mike had hatched a plan to cycle cross-country again, from the hospital that treated him to James’ grave. When he began the 1,430-mile journey in 2019, Lynn followed anxiously on his Instagram. Despite setbacks—steep climbs, wrong turns, flat tires—Mike pressed on. On November 20, he arrived at James’ grave, where Lynn waited. They hugged. Then came the tears—not of sorrow, but relief. A part of James lived on, and two strangers connected by loss and hope became family.(康复期间，迈克酝酿了一个计划：再次骑行穿越全国，从救治他的医院出发，前往詹姆斯的墓地。2019年，当他开启这段1430英里的旅程时，琳恩在照片墙上焦急地关注着他的动态。尽管遭遇不少挫折 —— 陡峭的爬坡、走错的路线、漏气的轮胎 —— 迈克仍坚持前行。11月20日，他终于抵达詹姆斯的墓地，琳恩已在那里等候。两人相拥而泣，这泪水无关悲伤，满是释然。詹姆斯的一部分以这样的方式继续存在，而这两位因失去与希望相连的陌生人，也成了家人。)”可知，迈克骑行到詹姆斯墓前，是为了向捐赠心脏的詹姆斯及其家人表达感激。故选B项。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文特别是第五段“During his recovery, Mike had hatched a plan to cycle cross-country again, from the hospital that treated him to James’ grave.

If our ancestors spotted movement in the nearby forest, they would run first and question later. The ability to analyze and plan is part of what separates us from other animals. The question of when to trust your instinct (直觉) matters in the office as much as in the forest. Slow thinking is the feature of a well-managed workplace. Yet instinct also has its place. Some decisions are more connected to emotional responses and less to analysis. In demanding customer-service or public-facing situations, instinct is often a better guide to how to behave. Instinct can also be improved. Plenty of research has shown that instinct becomes more accurate with experience. In one well-known experiment, volunteers judged whether designer handbags were real or fake. Some were told to rely on instinct, others to deliberate. Instinct worked better for those who owned at least three designer handbags. The more expert you become, the better your instinct tends to be. However, the real reason to embrace fast thinking is that it is, well, fast. It is often the only way to get through the day. When your inbox floods with new emails at the start of the day, there is no way to read them all carefully. Instinct helps you decide which to answer and which to delete. Fast thinking can also help the entire organization. The value of many managerial decisions lies in the simple fact that they have been made. Yet as data-explodes, the temptation to ask for one more bit of analysis is harder to resist. Managers often overthink, turning a simple problem into a complex one. When to use instinct in the workplace rests on its own form of pattern recognition. Does the decision maker have real expertise? Is this a field in which emotion matters more than reasoning? Above all, is it worth delaying the decision to slow thinking is needed to get the big calls right. But fast thinking is the way to stop deliberation turning into a waste of time. 8. Why does the author mention our ancestors in the forest? A. They managed to live there for long. B. They survived in such a dangerous place. C. They differed from animals in thinking. D. They left us a valuable skill. 9. What can be inferred about instinct in paragraph 3? A. Even experts rely on instinct. B. Experience contributes to instinct. C. Instinct works better than analysis. D. Instinct matters in decision-making. 10. How does instinct help people in the workplace, according to paragraph 4? A. To answer massive emails. B. To analyze exploding data. C. To make quick decisions. D. To solve complex problems. 11. How does the author convey his/ her ideas in the text? A. By contrasting. B. By giving definitions. C. By listing data. D. By using cause-effect. 【答案】8. D 9. B 10. C 11. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章指出人类需权衡直觉与慢思考，职场中慢思考重要但直觉也有用，经验能提升直觉，其优势是快速，还给出职场使用直觉的判断依据。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Over millions of years, humans have responded to certain situations without thinking too hard. If our ancestors spotted movement in the nearby forest, they would run first and question later. The ability to analyze and plan is part of what separates us from other animals. The question of when to trust your instinct (直觉) matters in the office as much as in the forest.(在数百万年的漫长岁月里，人类在面对某些情况时往往无需深思熟虑就能做出反应。如果我们的祖先在附近的森林中察觉到有动静，他们会先跑起来，然后再去思考。分析和规划的能力正是将我们与其他动物区分开来的关键所在。在办公室里以及在森林中，何时相信自己的直觉同样至关重要)”可知，作者提及森林中的我们的祖先是为了说明他们留给了我们一项宝贵的技能。故选D。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Instinct can also be improved. Plenty of research has shown that instinct becomes more accurate with experience.(直觉也可以得到提升。大量研究已经表明，随着经验的积累，直觉会变得更加准确)”可知，经验有助于形成直觉。故选B。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Instinct helps you decide which to answer and which to delete. Fast thinking can also help the entire organization.(直觉能帮助你决定哪些信息需要回复，哪些则需要删除。快速的思维能力也能为整个组织带来益处)”可知，直觉在职场中帮助人们迅速做出决策。故选C。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Slow thinking is the feature of a well-managed workplace. Yet instinct also has its place. Some decisions are more connected to emotional responses and less to analysis. In demanding customer-service or public-facing situations, instinct is often a better guide to how to behave.(缓慢的思考是管理有序的工作场所所具有的特点。然而，直觉也有其存在的价值。有些决策更多地与情感反应相关，而较少依赖分析。在需要提供客户服务或面对公众的场合中，直觉往往能更好地指导我们如何行事)”以及全文围绕“快速思考（直觉）”与“慢速思考（分析）”展开，通过对比两者适用场景传递观点：如“职场需要慢速思考，但直觉也有位置”、“慢速思考适合重大决策，快速思考避免时间浪费”。可知，作者通过对比表达其观点。故选A。 D Modern lives often make people overeat. This usually happens during holidays, or when they’re stressed, like while preparing for exams. A study by Dr. Stephanic Kullmann’s team at the University of Tübingen, Germany, shows that even five days of overeating can cause big and lasting changes in brains of healthy young men. The experiment had 29 male volunteers aged 19-27 with normal body weight. Volunteers were divided into two groups. The experimental group added 1,500 extra calories every day like chocolate bars and potato chips for five days, while the control group kept their normal diet. Researchers used whole-brain MRI to examine the brain insulin (胰岛素) activity. They also did blood tests and measured liver fat to check metabolic (代谢的) changes. The results showed after only five days of over eating, volunteers developed more liver fat and showed changed insulin sensitivity in brain regions related to reward processing. In psychological tests, they became less sensitive to reward and more sensitive to punishment. Surprisingly, these changes happened without any big weight gain. This means that the brain reacts to what we eat before we see any physical changes. Dr. Kullmann said, “The speed of these neurological (神经系统的) changes surprised us — they are detectable before any visible weight changes.” Perhaps the more worrying was the long-term effects. One week after volunteers returned to their normal diets, memory-related areas of the brain showed lower insulin sensitivity. The brain’s white matter, which helps the nerves talk to each other well, also showed changes. It appeared like those in fat people; raising important questions about how short-term overeating could lead to long-term health problems. The study’s findings go against what we usually think about occasional overeating. It brought no big changes in weight but in brain, which might make it harder for people to eat healthily in the future. The reward system might create a vicious cycle where unhealthy foods become more attractive while healthy choices seem less rewarding. As Dr. Kullmann concludes, “Our brains are more sensitive to dietary changes than we realized— what we eat today may influence how we think and choose tomorrow.” 12. What did the researchers do in the experiment? A. Grouping the volunteers by the body weight. B. Increasing the participants’ daily caloric intake. C. Examining the participants’ physical changes. D. Recording the frequency of the brain activity. 13. What happened to the volunteers after five days of overeating? A. They had an increase in fat. B. They were more interested in reward. C. They gained significant weight. D. They showed changed reward processing. 14. What is the main idea of paragraph 4? A. The brain’s white matter controls neural communication. B. Short-term overeating has harmful long-term health effects. C. Memory-related areas of the brain is less sensitive. D. Fat people have similar brain changes. 15. What does the study suggest about occasional overeating? A. It determines our future eating habits. B. It may cause a bad cycle of food choice. C. It is harmless as there is no weight gain. D. It affects the brain temporarily. 【答案】12. C 13. D 14. B 15. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。德国一项研究显示，健康年轻男性即便五天暴饮暴食（无明显增重），大脑也会出现持久变化，还可能引发长期健康问题，且会影响未来饮食选择。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“The experiment had 29 male volunteers aged 19-27 with normal body weight. Volunteers were divided into two groups. The experimental group added 1,500 extra calories every day like chocolate bars and potato chips for five days, while the control group kept their normal diet. Researchers used whole-brain MRI to examine the brain insulin (胰岛素) activity. They also did blood tests and measured liver fat to check metabolic (代谢的) changes.(该实验共有29名年龄在19至27岁之间、体重正常的男性志愿者参与。这些志愿者被分为两组。实验组每天额外摄入1500卡路里，比如巧克力棒和薯片，持续五天；而对照组则保持正常饮食。研究人员使用全脑磁共振成像来检测大脑中的胰岛素活动。他们还进行了血液检测，并测量肝脏脂肪含量以检查代谢变化)”可知，研究人员在实验中观察参与者的身体变化。故选C。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“The results showed after only five days of over eating, volunteers developed more liver fat and showed changed insulin sensitivity in brain regions related to reward processing. In psychological tests, they became less sensitive to reward and more sensitive to punishment.(研究结果表明，仅仅在五天的暴饮暴食之后，志愿者们的肝脏脂肪含量就增加了，并且在与奖赏处理相关的脑区中，其胰岛素敏感性发生了变化。在心理测试中，他们对奖赏的敏感度降低了，而对惩罚的敏感度则提高了)”可知，在连续五天的大吃大喝之后，这些志愿者的奖赏处理机制发生了变化。故选D。 【14题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第四段“Perhaps the more worrying was the long-term effects. One week after volunteers returned to their normal diets, memory-related areas of the brain showed lower insulin sensitivity. The brain’s white matter, which helps the nerves talk to each other well, also showed changes. It appeared like those in fat people; raising important questions about how short-term overeating could lead to long-term health problems.(或许更令人担忧的是其长期影响。在志愿者恢复正常饮食一周后，大脑中与记忆相关的区域显示出胰岛素敏感度降低的现象。大脑的白质（有助于神经元之间良好交流的物质）也出现了变化。其状况看起来与肥胖者相似；这引发了关于短期过度进食如何导致长期健康问题的重要疑问)”可知，第 4 段的主要观点是短期内暴饮暴食会对长期健康产生不良影响。故选B。 【15题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“The study’s findings go against what we usually think about occasional overeating. It brought no big changes in weight but in brain, which might make it harder for people to eat healthily in the future. The reward system might create a vicious cycle where unhealthy foods become more attractive while healthy choices seem less rewarding.(该研究的结果与我们通常对偶尔暴饮暴食的看法相悖。它并未显著改变体重，却改变了大脑的状况，这可能会使人们在未来更难保持健康饮食。奖励机制可能会形成一种恶性循环：不健康的食物会变得更具吸引力，而健康的选择则显得吸引力不足)”可知，偶尔的暴饮暴食可能会导致不良的饮食选择循环。故选B。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Thirst is one of the fundamental urges an organism can have. After all, water is the substance that we rely on to transport essential molecules (分子) and other particles around our bodies to keep us alive. ____16____ Shouldn’t we have developed a taste for this essential substance? ____17____ Several new studies seem to show not only that water does, in fact, have a taste, but that we might have taste buds (味蕾) that respond directly to it. We now know that there are at least five basic tastes: salty, sour, sweet, bitter and umami. ____18____ Researchers have sought to solve the issue once and for all. They’ve figured out an experiment that seeks to identify any water-sensing taste receptor cells (TRCs) on the tongues of lab mice. The team first used a technique known as genetic knockout to silence different types of TRCs, in order to remove the possibility that those cells might accidentally discover some other taste within the water besides the water itself. ____19____ It turned out that the acid-sensing sour TRCs were still firing actively, indicating these cells might have a double purpose, capable of distinguishing water or acidic fluids. So if you’re on the side of the debate that argues that water is flavorless, you might still be correct. ____20____ The study also opens up the possibility that our tongues and taste buds might be doing more than merely providing us with a sense of taste. If this study doesn’t prove that water is the sixth flavor, it might still be the first evidence of a whole other sense entirely: a water sense. A. Well, perhaps we have. B. Actually, we have a sixth taste for water. C. Our taste buds are tied to a flavor of water. D. So it’s perhaps a bit doubtful that water doesn’t seem to have any flavor. E. But water isn’t senseless, at least it doesn’t appear that way according to this research. F. They then washed their mouths with water to see if any cells were still responding. G. If there is a sixth taste for water exists, then there should be evidence somewhere in the mouth or tongue. 【答案】16. D 17. A 18. G 19. F 20. E 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了人们通常认为平时喝的水是没有味道的，但几项新的研究表明似乎水具有某种味道，至少是可以被人感觉到的。 【16题详解】 根据上文“Thirst is one of the fundamental urges an organism can have. After all, water is the substance that we rely on to transport essential molecules (分子) and other particles around our bodies to keep us alive.(口渴是生物体可能产生的最基本的需求之一。毕竟，水是我们赖以在体内运输各种重要分子和粒子以维持生命所必需的物质)”以及后文“Shouldn’t we have developed a taste for this essential substance?(我们难道不该对这种必需物质产生味觉吗？)”可知，前文强调“水对生命至关重要，口渴是基本欲望”，后文以反问“我们难道不该对这种必需物质产生味觉吗”承接。选项D“因此，水似乎没有任何味道这件事可能有点令人怀疑”既总结前文“水的重要性”，又通过“怀疑”引出后文对“水是否有味道”的探讨，形成因果逻辑，衔接自然。故选D。 17题详解】 根据后文“Several new studies seem to show not only that water does, in fact, have a taste, but that we might have taste buds (味蕾) that respond directly to it.(几项新的研究似乎表明，水确实具有自身的味道，而且我们的味蕾或许还能直接对水的味道做出反应)”以及前文用反问句提出“是否该对水有味觉”，后文则给出研究结论“水确实有味道，且可能有感知水的味蕾”。选项A“嗯，或许我们已经有这种味觉了”直接回应前文反问，用“或许”呼应研究结论的探索性，起到“承上启下”的过渡作用。故选A。 【18题详解】 根据上文“We now know that there are at least five basic tastes: salty, sour, sweet, bitter and umami.(我们现在知道，至少存在五种基本的味道：咸味、酸味、甜味、苦味和鲜味)”以及后文“Researchers have sought to solve the issue once and for all. They’ve figured out an experiment that seeks to identify any water-sensing taste receptor cells (TRCs) on the tongues of lab mice.(研究人员一直试图彻底解决这个问题。他们设计了一个实验，旨在找出实验鼠舌头上的任何能感知水分的味觉受体细胞（TRC）)”可知，前文提到“已知至少五种基本味觉”，后文转而描述“研究人员通过实验寻找小鼠舌头上感知水的味觉受体细胞”。选项G“如果存在第六种‘水味’，那么在口腔或舌头上某处应该有证据”衔接“五种味觉”与“寻找水味证据”，为后文实验的目的做铺垫，逻辑连贯。故选G。 【19题详解】 根据上文“The team first used a technique known as genetic knockout to silence different types of TRCs, in order to remove the possibility that those cells might accidentally discover some other taste within the water besides the water itself.(该团队首先采用了名为“基因敲除”的技术来抑制不同类型的味觉受体细胞，以排除这些细胞可能意外地在水中发现除水本身之外的其他味道的可能性)”以及后文“It turned out that the acid-sensing sour TRCs were still firing actively, indicating these cells might have a double purpose, capable of distinguishing water or acidic fluids.(结果表明，能够感知酸味的酸敏感味觉受体细胞仍在活跃地工作，这表明这些细胞可能具有双重功能，既能辨别水，也能辨别酸性液体)”可知，前文介绍实验第一步“用基因敲除技术沉默不同味觉受体细胞”，后文则呈现结果“感知酸味的细胞仍活跃，可能兼具感知水的功能”。选项F“然后他们用水漱口，观察是否有细胞仍在反应”承接前文“沉默细胞”的操作，描述实验第二步，符合“先处理细胞→再测试反应”的实验流程，衔接实验步骤与结果。故选F。 【20题详解】 根据上文“So if you’re on the side of the debate that argues that water is flavorless, you might still be correct.(所以，如果你站在那种认为水没有味道的观点那一方，那么你或许还是正确的)”以及后文“The study also opens up the possibility that our tongues and taste buds might be doing more than merely providing us with a sense of taste. If this study doesn’t prove that water is the sixth flavor, it might still be the first evidence of a whole other sense entirely: a water sense.(这项研究还提出了一种可能性，即我们的舌头和味蕾的功能可能远不止是让我们感受到味道。即便这项研究无法证实水是第六种味道，它仍可能是首个揭示出一种全新感官存在的证据：一种与水相关的独特感知)”可知，前文认可“认为水无味可能正确”，后文则转折指出“研究揭示味蕾可能不仅负责味觉，还可能存在‘水觉’”。选项E“但水并非无法感知，至少根据这项研究来看并非如此”用“但”形成转折，既不否定前文观点，又引出后文“水可被感知”的新发现，符合上下文逻辑。故选E。 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 I was offered a “great” professional opportunity appealing to everyone in my field.

The steep ramp (坡) challenged her to drop in. She bent her knees and spread her arms a little to keep her balance. When she reached the other side, she went up high. Then she dived back down and up again, enjoying the thrill of the ride. Patrick, another skater, cheered, He was a year ahead of Melody in school, but they’d become friends at the skate park. “I got it on video.” Mom said, waving her phone as Melody rode away from the half-pipe. Melody smiled. She wanted to be able to show her faraway cousins her favorite activity. When it was her turn again, she set up and — her skateboard suddenly shot out from under her! Her arms moved around wildly, and then she was on the ground. “Ow! My wrist!” she whimpered. Patrick rushed over. “You OK?” Mom was there a split second later. “Hope you didn’t get that on video, Mrs. B.” Patrick joked. Melody sniffed. “Ha.” She tried to move her hand and winced (痛得呲牙). “Let’s get you to the doctor, sweetie,” Mom said. Two hours later in the Medi-Center. Dr. Das finished up the cast (石膏) and said, “Six weeks, and you’ll be as good as new.” On the way home, Melody and her mom passed the skate park. Melody read the big sign painted on the wall: NO FEAR. “Six weeks, and you’ll be as good as new.” No fear. Melody thought about these words a lot over the next six weeks. But every time she replayed the crash in her mind, her stomach flip-flopped. Still, by the time the cast came off, Melody’s board was calling her name. She and her mom returned to the skate park. “Just take it slow,” Mom called from the bench. Melody skated around for a while. She concentrated on the board under her feet and popped a kickflip. It felt good, but she missed the half-pipe more than anything. “Hey, Mel, welcome back!” Patrick called. Melody smiled back. 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。 Looking up at the top edge of the half-pipe, she hesitated. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ She wiped her sweaty forehead, and climbed to the top. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文 Looking up at the top edge of the half-pipe, she hesitated. Memories of the crash rushed back—the terrifying lurch, the slam onto concrete, the sharp pain in her wrist. Her palms felt clammy inside her gloves. Six weeks, the doctor had said, but the fear felt much heavier now. Patrick’s encouraging shout broke through her thoughts. “You got this, Mel! Just like before!” Taking a deep, shaky breath, she pushed the fear aside. No fear, the sign said. It was time to trust herself again. She needed to show her cousins, and more importantly, herself, that she could conquer this. She wiped her sweaty forehead, and climbed to the top. The familiar view sent another wave of nerves through her, but determination hardened her resolve. No fear. She bent her knees, spread her arms slightly, and focused only on the board beneath her feet. With a final push of courage, she dropped in. The wind whipped past her face, the familiar rumble vibrated through the board. Up the other side, then down again—smoothly, powerfully. A wide, triumphant grin spread across her face as she carved through the pipe. She was back. This time, Mom definitely got the perfect video to share. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了Melody在滑板U形槽体验滑行乐趣，却意外摔倒导致手腕骨折，需休养六周。期间她虽因摔倒经历感到恐惧，但拆石膏后仍回到滑板场。在Patrick鼓励和自我激励下，她克服恐惧，再次成功在半管区滑行，妈妈也拍下了这段视频。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“她抬头望向U形槽的顶端，犹豫了一下”可知，第一段可描写Melody在Patrick鼓励和自我激励下，她克服恐惧。 ②由第二段首句内容“她擦去额上的汗水，爬上了顶端”可知，第二段可描写Melody再次成功在U形槽滑行，妈妈也拍下了这段视频。 2.续写线索：Melody犹豫——回想起鼓励——Melody克服恐惧——Melody爬上顶端——Melody成功滑行——妈妈拍视频分享 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①相信：trust/have confidence in ②展示：show/demonstrate ③克服：conquer/overcome 情绪类 ①吓人的：terrifying/fearful ②鼓励的：encouraging/inspiring 【点睛】[高分句型1] Taking a deep, shaky breath, she pushed the fear aside.（运用了现在分词作状语） [高分句型2] She needed to show her cousins, and more importantly, herself, that she could conquer this.（运用了that引导宾语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2026届天河区普通高中毕业班综合测试（一） 英语 本试卷共8页，满分120分，考试时间120分钟。 注意事项： 1.答卷时，考生应清晰识字过的词汇或者书写自己的学校、班级、姓名座位号和考号填写在答题卡相应的位置上，再用2B铅笔把号码对应填涂黑。 2.选择题每小题选出答案区后，用2B铅笔把答案卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑；如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案；不能答在试卷上。 3.非选择题必须用黑色字迹的钢笔或签字笔作答，答案必须写在答题卡各题目指定区域内的相应位置上；如需改动，先划掉原来的答案，然后再写上新的答案；不准使用铅笔或涂改液。不按以上要求作答的答案无效。 4.考生必须保证答题卡的整洁，考试结束后，将试卷和答题卡一并交回。 第二部分 阅读（共两节，满分50分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A Originally constructed as a jeep road between the gun batteries, the Batteries Loop Trail (小路) now provides access to and allows for exploration of Battery Smith-Guthric, Battery O’Rorke and Battery Alexander. The loop can be completed in either direction from Battery Alexander. Along the trail one can expect to see views of the Pacific, waves crashing upon Rodeo Beach and if the weather is particularly clear, one can even make out the Farallon Islands, some 30 miles in the distance. The Battery Alexander Trailhead provides access to the Batteries Loop Trail and additional parking for the Point Bonita Lighthouse. BEFORE YOU GO Bathrooms An accessible toilet can be found at the Battery Alexander parking area. Additional restrooms can be found at the Field Rd. parking lot.

Her son, James, a navy flight surgeon, was fatally injured in a mission and passed away. It was time for Lynn to honour the spirit of a man who had switched from studying commerce engineering to medicine because he wanted to help people. Lynn instructed the hospital to begin the organ donation process. These few words, as hard as they were to say, would soon ripple outward, allowing a man to return to work, a veteran to regain his health, and a cyclist to get back on his bike. Mike was diagnosed with leukemia in 2004. Six years of treatment and exercise paid off. To celebrate his sixth year without cancer, Mike decided to ride his bike to New York. Unfortunately, his health deteriorated and one evening in 2017, he started having chest pains. That was when a mother’s very worst day became a stranger’s best. James’ heart was beating in the cancer survivor’s chest now. The morning he woke up from the transplant, Mike found himself recharged. Of the four letters Lynn had sent to the recipients one reached Mike. Lynn described her son’s devotion to his country, the fact that he considered everyone a friend, and his love for scuba diving, snowboarding, and motorcycling. These pages painted a picture of just how special his new heart was. Mike carefully composed a response, accurately expressing his gratitude and communicating his desire to stay in touch with James’ family. It was a balm (药膏) for a wound that Lynn felt would never heal. And so began the emails and texts. She even began following Mike’s Instagram posts. “Knowing he was doing well really helped,” she says. During his recovery, Mike had hatched a plan to cycle cross-country again, from the hospital that treated him to James’ grave. When he began the 1,430-mile journey in 2019, Lynn followed anxiously on his Instagram. Despite setbacks—steep climbs, wrong turns, flat tires—Mike pressed on. On November 20, he arrived at James’ grave, where Lynn waited. They hugged. Then came the tears—not of sorrow, but relief. A part of James lived on, and two strangers connected by loss and hope became family. 4. What does the underlined word “deteriorated” mean in paragraph 2? A. declined. B. Improved. C. Recovered. D. Stabilized. 5. What is the main idea of paragraph 4? A. Mother’s love for her son. B. James’ amazing personalities. C. Mike’s thoughtful response. D. Interaction between Lynn and Mike. 6. Why did Mike cycle cross-country in 2019? A. To test his physical strength B. To show his great gratitude. C. To raise fund for organ donation. D. To pick up his former hobby. 7. What is the best title for the text? A. Organ donation matters. B. A great heart beats on. C. A cross-country cyclist survives. D. Social media connects people. C Over millions of years, humans have responded to certain situations without thinking too hard. If our ancestors spotted movement in the nearby forest, they would run first and question later. The ability to analyze and plan is part of what separates us from other animals. The question of when to trust your instinct (直觉) matters in the office as much as in the forest. Slow thinking is the feature of a well-managed workplace. Yet instinct also has its place. Some decisions are more connected to emotional responses and less to analysis. In demanding customer-service or public-facing situations, instinct is often a better guide to how to behave. Instinct can also be improved. Plenty of research has shown that instinct becomes more accurate with experience. In one well-known experiment, volunteers judged whether designer handbags were real or fake. Some were told to rely on instinct, others to deliberate. Instinct worked better for those who owned at least three designer handbags. The more expert you become, the better your instinct tends to be. However, the real reason to embrace fast thinking is that it is, well, fast. It is often the only way to get through the day. When your inbox floods with new emails at the start of the day, there is no way to read them all carefully. Instinct helps you decide which to answer and which to delete. Fast thinking can also help the entire organization. The value of many managerial decisions lies in the simple fact that they have been made. Yet as data-explodes, the temptation to ask for one more bit of analysis is harder to resist. Managers often overthink, turning a simple problem into a complex one. When to use instinct in the workplace rests on its own form of pattern recognition. Does the decision maker have real expertise? Is this a field in which emotion matters more than reasoning? Above all, is it worth delaying the decision to slow thinking is needed to get the big calls right. But fast thinking is the way to stop deliberation turning into a waste of time. 8. Why does the author mention our ancestors in the forest? A. They managed to live there for long. B. They survived in such a dangerous place. C. They differed from animals in thinking. D. They left us a valuable skill. 9. What can be inferred about instinct in paragraph 3? A. Even experts rely on instinct. B. Experience contributes to instinct. C. Instinct works better than analysis. D. Instinct matters in decision-making. 10. How does instinct help people in the workplace, according to paragraph 4? A. To answer massive emails. B. To analyze exploding data. C. To make quick decisions. D. To solve complex problems. 11. How does the author convey his/ her ideas in the text? A. By contrasting. B. By giving definitions. C By listing data. D. By using cause-effect. D Modern lives often make people overeat. This usually happens during holidays, or when they’re stressed, like while preparing for exams. A study by Dr. Stephanic Kullmann’s team at the University of Tübingen, Germany, shows that even five days of overeating can cause big and lasting changes in brains of healthy young men. The experiment had 29 male volunteers aged 19-27 with normal body weight. Volunteers were divided into two groups. The experimental group added 1,500 extra calories every day like chocolate bars and potato chips for five days, while the control group kept their normal diet. Researchers used whole-brain MRI to examine the brain insulin (胰岛素) activity. They also did blood tests and measured liver fat to check metabolic (代谢的) changes. The results showed after only five days of over eating, volunteers developed more liver fat and showed changed insulin sensitivity in brain regions related to reward processing. In psychological tests, they became less sensitive to reward and more sensitive to punishment. Surprisingly, these changes happened without any big weight gain. This means that the brain reacts to what we eat before we see any physical changes. Dr. Kullmann said, “The speed of these neurological (神经系统的) changes surprised us — they are detectable before any visible weight changes.” Perhaps the more worrying was the long-term effects. One week after volunteers returned to their normal diets, memory-related areas of the brain showed lower insulin sensitivity. The brain’s white matter, which helps the nerves talk to each other well, also showed changes. It appeared like those in fat people; raising important questions about how short-term overeating could lead to long-term health problems. The study’s findings go against what we usually think about occasional overeating. It brought no big changes in weight but in brain, which might make it harder for people to eat healthily in the future. The reward system might create a vicious cycle where unhealthy foods become more attractive while healthy choices seem less rewarding. As Dr. Kullmann concludes, “Our brains are more sensitive to dietary changes than we realized— what we eat today may influence how we think and choose tomorrow.” 12. What did the researchers do in the experiment? A Grouping the volunteers by the body weight. B. Increasing the participants’ daily caloric intake. C. Examining the participants’ physical changes. D. Recording the frequency of the brain activity. 13. What happened to the volunteers after five days of overeating? A. They had an increase in fat. B. They were more interested in reward. C. They gained significant weight. D. They showed changed reward processing. 14. What is the main idea of paragraph 4? A. The brain’s white matter controls neural communication. B. Short-term overeating has harmful long-term health effects. C. Memory-related areas of the brain is less sensitive. D. Fat people have similar brain changes. 15.

After all, water is the substance that we rely on to transport essential molecules (分子) and other particles around our bodies to keep us alive. ____16____ Shouldn’t we have developed a taste for this essential substance? ____17____ Several new studies seem to show not only that water does, in fact, have a taste, but that we might have taste buds (味蕾) that respond directly to it. We now know that there are at least five basic tastes: salty, sour, sweet, bitter and umami. ____18____ Researchers have sought to solve the issue once and for all. They’ve figured out an experiment that seeks to identify any water-sensing taste receptor cells (TRCs) on the tongues of lab mice. The team first used a technique known as genetic knockout to silence different types of TRCs, in order to remove the possibility that those cells might accidentally discover some other taste within the water besides the water itself. ____19____ It turned out that the acid-sensing sour TRCs were still firing actively, indicating these cells might have a double purpose, capable of distinguishing water or acidic fluids. So if you’re on the side of the debate that argues that water is flavorless, you might still be correct. ____20____ The study also opens up the possibility that our tongues and taste buds might be doing more than merely providing us with a sense of taste. If this study doesn’t prove that water is the sixth flavor, it might still be the first evidence of a whole other sense entirely: a water sense. A. Well, perhaps we have. B. Actually, we have a sixth taste for water. C. Our taste buds are tied to a flavor of water. D. So it’s perhaps a bit doubtful that water doesn’t seem to have any flavor. E. But water isn’t senseless, at least it doesn’t appear that way according to this research. F. They then washed their mouths with water to see if any cells were still responding. G. If there is a sixth taste for water exists, then there should be evidence somewhere in the mouth or tongue. 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 I was offered a “great” professional opportunity appealing to everyone in my field.

The steep ramp (坡) challenged her to drop in. She bent her knees and spread her arms a little to keep her balance. When she reached the other side, she went up high. Then she dived back down and up again, enjoying the thrill of the ride. Patrick, another skater, cheered, He was a year ahead of Melody in school, but they’d become friends at the skate park. “I got it on video.” Mom said, waving her phone as Melody rode away from the half-pipe. Melody smiled. She wanted to be able to show her faraway cousins her favorite activity. When it was her turn again, she set up and — her skateboard suddenly shot out from under her! Her arms moved around wildly, and then she was on the ground. “Ow! My wrist!” she whimpered. Patrick rushed over. “You OK?” Mom was there a split second later. “Hope you didn’t get that on video, Mrs. B.” Patrick joked. Melody sniffed. “Ha.” She tried to move her hand and winced (痛得呲牙). “Let’s get you to the doctor, sweetie,” Mom said. Two hours later in the Medi-Center. Dr. Das finished up the cast (石膏) and said, “Six weeks, and you’ll be as good as new.” On the way home, Melody and her mom passed the skate park. Melody read the big sign painted on the wall: NO FEAR. “Six weeks, and you’ll be as good as new.” No fear. Melody thought about these words a lot over the next six weeks. But every time she replayed the crash in her mind, her stomach flip-flopped. Still, by the time the cast came off, Melody’s board was calling her name. She and her mom returned to the skate park. “Just take it slow,” Mom called from the bench. Melody skated around for a while. She concentrated on the board under her feet and popped a kickflip. It felt good, but she missed the half-pipe more than anything. “Hey, Mel, welcome back!” Patrick called. Melody smiled back. 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。 Looking up at the top edge of the half-pipe, she hesitated. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ She wiped her sweaty forehead, and climbed to the top. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
