"I'm here to investigate the person who lives here,"she announced,then entered my home and slowly explored.Her eyes swept from the decorations on the wall to the red Turkish mat on the floor. She stopped at a glass and yellow cake trolley-a gift from my mother.On top sat a manuscript:the handwritten memoirs of a ninety-nine-year-old World War II veteran.His daughter had asked for my help turning his stories into a literary family legacy. The investigator moved to the living room.A curtain,trimmed with crystal beads,hung from a French window.The sunlight made the crystals swing,casting rainbows on the ceiling."I made it myself,"I said."I love the cherry-red fabric."She nodded and approached the bookshelf.She ran her finger along the spines,mouthing titles of autobiographies,then moved to a pink wardrobe filled with family photos,a globe,and travel souvenirs. 高三年级（英语）第3页（共8页） Room by room,she made notes.When she finished,she said,"I've got everything I need.A full profile on you."As I read her analysis,I leamned more about my preferences,talents,and style-things I hadn't fully recognized before.This profile became the first step toward designing a life aligned with my unique joys and skills. In truth,the private investigator was me.I learned of this self-discovery exercise called The Private-Eye Game.It opened my eyes to my authentic self,guiding me to create a lifestyle that truly reflected my talents and desires. The exercise is simple:examine your life from this detective perspective.In your home or workspace,look closely at your belongings and note what they reveal about you.Search for subtle clues that tell you about your interests and talents. Once you've gathered information,write a "portrait of yourself"-a detailed profile.Reflect on it:Are there surprises?When I did this,I realized my wardrobe choices didn't reflect my true style.I preferred comfort and light colors over high heels and reds.I discovered my love of travel,curiosity about cultures,and talent for drawing out people's stories.These insights helped me craft a richer, more fulfilling life. What might you uncover?Your personal space holds clues about your talents,interests,and desires-things you may have overlooked.With greater clarity,you can make conscious choices to live more authentically,beyond just your home. 24.What was the investigator doing in the author's room? A.Investigating a crime. B.Appreciating the room. C.Collecting information. D.Searching for a manuscript. 25.What is The Private-Eye Game intended for? A.Building a virtual life. B.Discovering one's true self. C.Creating a personal space. D.Developing one's potential. 26.What can we know about the writer? A.She likes red stuff. B.She ignores her strengths. C.She is good at story writing. D.She dislikes tidying up rooms. 27.What can we learn from the story? A.People with a detailed profile enjoy a fulfilling life. B.A shift in perspective reveals one's hidden aspects. C.Self-discovery requires reevaluating possessions. D.An original portrait displays one's inner world. C Why do we get angry,fearful,joyful,or anxious?What's the point in having emotions?In many instances in life we wish we could do away with emotions altogether,particularly the unpleasant ones like fear,anxiety,and anger.Remaining calm and peaceful often feels preferable to experiencing extreme ups and downs. But what if we regard emotions as key to decision making-and start to see that without them we would start to make some truly unwise choices?Emotions then become more than childlike yelps (joy)and screams (anger);instead,they are bodily processes that signal value,influence risk 高三年级（英语）第4页（共8页） assessment,and speed up judgements in uncertain situations. Neuroscientist Antonio Damasio developed the "somatic marker hypothesis"in response to observations made in neurological patients who had suffered damage to the brain's frontal lobe. Before the onset of brain damage,the patients were intelligent,creative,and successful-but after damage the patients struggled to organise their workday,had problems planning their future over immediate,medium and long-range goals,and could no longer choose suitable friends,partners,and activities.The plans they organised,the groups they elected to join,or the activities they undertook often led to financial losses,losses in social standing,and losses to family and friends,Damasio writes in his paper,The Somatic Marker Hypothesis and the Possible Functions of the Prefrontal Cortex.Not only were the choices made by patients no longer personally advantageous,but they were also demonstrably different from the choices the patients were known to have made prior to brain damage.But in all other aspects of intellect-basic attention and working memory,the ability to use logic in the solution of problems,the learning of factual knowledge and skills,even their knowledge of social issues-the patients were otherwise perfectly fine. Interestingly,in conjunction to impaired decision making,patients also suffered a compromised ability to express emotion and to experience feelings."Along with normal intellect and abnormal decision making,there were abnormalities in emotion and feeling,"writes Damasio. When we feel joy,rage,disgust-the entire body's internal environment,including muscles, organs,fluids,and physiological states including blood pressure and temperature,shift in response, and this "somatic"response is what drives decision making.We meet someone who gives us a "bad taste in the mouth"and we don't invite them around for dinner.Without emotion and the accompanying somatic markers-a pounding heart rate,tight face,lump in the throat,dry mouth, butterflies in the stomach,sweaty hands,and so forth-we would,more often than not,according to Damasio's hypothesis,make sub-optimal decisions in our everyday life. 28.What did Damasio find about patients with frontal lobe damage? A.Failure to learn some social skills. B.Decline in their working memory. C.Inability to express their emotions. D.Difficulty in making wise decisions. 29.What does the word"somatic"underlined in Para.3 most possibly mean? A.Intellectual. B.Emotional. C.Bodily. D.Logical. 30.Which would be the best title for the passage? A.Feeling Our Way B.Head Ruling Heart C.Trusting the Senses D.Calm Before Storm D What are you doing later:roaming through Van Gogh's landscapes,time-travelling to ancient Egypt?These are the kinds of"immersive"experiences we are increasingly flooded with.The immersive entertainment market globally was valued at around $114 billion in 2024,and it is predicted to almost quadruple to roughly $442 billion by 2030. As a journalist and life-long pop culture fan,I am simultaneously fascinated and unsettled by immersive entertainment.My most memorable experiences of it were personalised and powerfully emotive,making me exhilarated,tearful,even"cybersick".When we are wrapped up in a narrative, 高三年级（英语）第5页（共8页） particularly one relayed through a headset,we are removed from real time. It isn't the escapism that worries me,though-great culture frees us from everyday constraints-it is the insularity ()Immersive events stress the subjective viewpoint,often at the expense of the communal energy that fuels social atmosphere,so even packed-out immersive shows can seem like solitary pursuits,with human companions resembling NPCs(non-playable video game characters). The cultural academic Keren Zaiontz coined a sharp term for our consumption of immersive entertainment:"narcissistic spectatorship".One study found VR use induced dissociative symptoms in 83.9 percent of participants.The long-term effects remain undefined,but research has highlighted recurring themes of addiction to the experience and isolation. Over at London's Barbican Centre,Feel the Sound is a new immersive exhibition whose installations offer imaginative personalised features,including Your Inner Symphony's "sensing stations",which generate unique visuals by tracking our bodily reactions to music.Luke Kemp,who heads up the Barbican's immersive programming,says these experiences respond to our need for "playful"cultural spaces,accessible regardless of prior knowledge:"It allows the audience to feel part of something”. Robyn Landau at Kinda Studios,co-developer of Your Inner Symphony,points out the link to interoception-our awareness of our body's inner senses."When we have these transformative experiences individually that connect us to ourselves,they actually transform how we show up in the world and the way we connect to others,"she says. According to psychologist Sophie Janicke-Bowles,immersive experiences "can have an incredible recovery effect on our mind,where we can detach from our everyday concerns and cognitively,emotionally and even physiologically get absorbed into something different". But for me,there is still a curious tension at play in immersive entertainment,and I am torn about where the rapidly developing scene is taking us.It does give us an opportunity to tune into ourselves,but I am less convinced it amplifies our bond with those around us.If we remain fixated by our own reflections,then we are missing the bigger picture.Immersive entertainment might make VIPs of us all,but culture should also bring us together. 31.What can we learn about the author's immersive experiences? A.They free the author from restrictions. B.They lift the author out of an awful mood. C.They leave the author feeling alone in the crowd. D.They cause the author to be emotionally unstable. 32.What can be inferred about Luke Kemp's view on immersive experiences? A.They make people feel included. B.They lead to self-focused perspectives. C.They help with mental wellness. D.They transform our social interactions. 33.The author mentions Your Inner Symphony mainly to A.restate an argument B.propose a concept C.provide an example D.present an opinion 34.The author considers Sophie Janicke-Bowles's view A.partial B.insightful C.confusing D.practical 高三年级（英语）第6页（共8页) 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题纸上将该项 涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Martin Luther King,Jr.once said,"Only when it is dark enough can you see the stars."35 Darkness and fear may cloud our vision,but moments of light-like flashes in a storm-reveal that our goals and dreams remain. When overwhelmed by uncertainty,helplessness often takes over.Yet,as Thich Naht Hanh teaches,"The only way out is in."36 Positive psychology shows that trusting yourself depends on cultivating inner peace and recognizing your character strengths. Researchers studied 16,716 individuals from over 50 countries to understand traits linked to self-trust during uncertainty.They found that those with strong trust consistently reported greater 英 inner peace.This group excelled in three emotional character strengths-gratitude,love,and hope.37 Gratitude,the most studied of the three,is particularly powerful.It focuses on what has already happened,requiring no invention or manipulation.38 Instead of recalling only average events, asking for "three things you were grateful for yesterday"directs the brain to retrieve positive experiences.Over time,this reshapes our perspective,helping us savor moments and feel better. Daily challenges-political,financial,or personal-are unavoidable,but they need not consume us.By practicing gratitude,we train our minds to notice what uplifts us.This shift in perception fosters self-trust,reminding us that peace and strength lie within. 39 Savor them.This simple practice opens the door to inner peace,proving that storms may rage,but stars still shine.With gratitude comes self-trust,and with self-trust comes a life of resilience and meaning. A.Practicing gratitude changes how our brain searches memories. B.This reminds us that even in difficult times,we can find guidance and hope. C.Inner strength allows us to shift our focus inward,finding calm amid chaos. D.Try it now:recall three experiences from the last 24 hours that made you grateful. E.They promote harmony and resilience,and importantly,they can be taught and developed F.These strengths are valuable as they arise naturally in times of crisis and play a vital role in hardship. G.It mainly helps people forget negative experiences,allowing the brain to erase unpleasant memories over time 第三部分书面表达（共两节，32分） 第一节（共4小题：第40、41题各2分，第42题3分，第43题5分，共12分） 阅读下面短文，根据题目要求用英文回答问题。请在答题纸指定区域作答 Growing up,I was different.When I was four,I was officially diagnosed with autism () Before that,I had ADHD and a peanut allergy.I was a late talker.I hated loud noises.Any changes in routine completely threw me off. As a schoolboy,I felt like the least interesting person on Earth.No one seemed to understand me,and people were uncomfortable with me being different.I felt excluded by other students.Since I could not fit in,I chose silence-even though I had so much to say. 高三年级（英语）第7页（共8页） Toward the end of my freshman year,something changed.After holding everything in for too long,the pressure built until I couldn't take it.Like a bear that had been poked one too many times, my inner bear finally roared.I was done trying to please others or shrinking myself to fit in.I decided I wasn't going to stay quiet anymore. I joined my high school's media club,where for the first time I had friends and a sense of belonging.That was when I discovered the world of podcasting.During this early podcasting experience,I learnt about recording,editing and creating.Something else also changed-I felt a sense of self-worth,and my confidence grew. Later,I started my own podcast-Autism Rocks and Rolls.At first,it was just a way to use my voice.But I quickly realized I was speaking up for others too.I've had listeners tell me they found themselves nodding along while listening.It means understanding.It means someone out there gets it,and that's powerful. The podcast has now reached places I never expected.I've interviewed celebrities and leading experts,delivered a TEDx Talk and connected with thousands of listeners around the world.The most fulfilling part,though,is knowing that I'm opening people's ears and minds to those who have been unheard. Back then,I never imagined my voice would reach this far.Thinking no one was listening,for years,I held everything in.But once the bear found its voice,I didn't go back into hiding.I kept speaking,and now I have a platform where others can roar too. There are more than 8 billion people on the planet.Someone will get you.It may not be who you expect,and it may take time,but someone will.Keep going.Keep speaking.You will be heard. 40.What made the author feel excluded as a schoolboy? 41.How did the author's early podcasting experience benefit him? 42.Please decide which part is false in the following statement,then underline it and explain why. For the author,the most rewarding part of the podcasting experience is that it is a way to use his voice. 43.From this story,what can you learn about growth?(In about 40 words) 第二节（20分) 假设你是红星中学高三学生李华。你的英国好友Jm对你校即将开展的“青春创意，温暖邻 里”的社区公益活动很感兴趣，发来邮件向你询问。请你用英文给他回复邮件，内容包括： 1.活动内容： 2.活动意义 注意：1.词数100左右； 2.开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数。 Dear Jim, Yours, Li Hua (请务必将作文写在答题纸指定区域内) 海淀区2025-2026学年第一学期期中练习答案2025.11 第一部分：知识运用 第一节： 1.A2.A3.B4.D 5.C6.A7.D 8.B9.B10.C 第二节： 11.where 12.steadily 13.has demonstrated 14.witnessing 15.wrote 16.to achieve 17.how 18.is 19.Before/Without 20.necessity 第二部分：阅读理解 第一节： 21.B22.D23.A24.C25.B 26.C27.B28.D29.C30.A 31.C32.A33.D34.A 第二节： 35.B36.C37.E38.A39.D 第三部分：书面表达 第一节： 40.No one seemed to understand him,and people were uncomfortable with him being different. 41.He learnt about recording,editing and creating.He also felt a sense of self-worth,and his confidence grew. 42.For the author,the most rewarding part of the podcasting experience is that it is a way to use his voice.
