Some barely used, some worn-down, but each unfailingly functional, they remind me of his love of solving crossword puzzles. In his 80s, Appa would read the day’s newspaper, cover to cover. A few minutes of reading with the sun streaming in through the bay windows. A spark in his mind, and bingo! He’d get that puzzling word to complete the puzzle. While my father used words for love, I did the same for a living. In my own mind, it did not matter how much I got paid for writing. I wrote because I loved it, often for or about non-profits — that is until recently. “You were paid peanuts!” said some of my younger, more worldly-wise friends. Unlike me, they found the best places to publish their work and the best editors to work with. But their words didn’t affect me. However, when an editor surprised me with a lower rate of pay for a piece they chose to publish online rather than in print, as was originally proposed, I was shocked... and hurt! But like my father, I saw the bright side — so many people read the piece and loved it, sharing joyful emotions and praise on social media. It did wonders for my confidence. Today, when doubts cloud my mind, I think of Appa’s sharpened pencil. Its purpose may have been to solve a crossword. A crossword is complete — and gives one joy — with only so many words, and only when each word rests on elements from the others. Couldn’t my words hold a duality (双重性) that completes my purpose too? And so, now I take up assignments, some that pay well, some that don’t, but together, and most importantly, they fill me with joy. After all, it is only our heartfelt passion that matters. 4. Why did the author mention his father in the article? A. To express the author’s love for his father. B. To emphasize his father’s influence on him. C. To introduce his father’s passion for the puzzles. D. To indicate his father’s supporting his career as a writer. 5. What does the underlined sentence “You were paid peanuts” mean in paragraph 4? A. You were paid in cash. B You were paid lots of money. C. You were paid very little money. D. You were paid with valuable items. 6. What made the author feel hurt? A. The editor refused to publish his article. B. His article was published in print as proposed. C. His article was published online with a lower pay. D. The editor reduced the payment due to budget cuts. 7. What can we learn from this passage? A. Like father, like son. B. Follow your own path, and let others talk. C. What is done with passion is done well. D. Love what you do and do what you love. 【答案】4. B 5. C 6. C 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者受父亲影响，坚持写作，不因报酬多少而改变对写作的热爱，追寻内心激情。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“But like my father, I saw the bright side — so many people read the piece and loved it, sharing joyful emotions and praise on social media. It did wonders for my confidence.(不过，和父亲一样，我也看到了积极的一面——很多人读了这篇文章，并且很喜欢，他们在社交媒体上分享着喜悦和赞美。这极大地增强了我的信心)”和最后一段中“Today, when doubts cloud my mind, I think of Appa’s sharpened pencil. Its purpose may have been to solve a crossword. A crossword is complete — and gives one joy — with only so many words, and only when each word rests on elements from the others. Couldn’t my words hold a duality (双重性) that completes my purpose too? And so, now I take up assignments, some that pay well, some that don’t, but together, and most importantly, they fill me with joy.(如今，每当我心生疑虑时，我就会想起Appa削尖的铅笔。它的用途或许是解填字游戏。一份填字游戏，只有用上一定数量的单词，而且每个单词都要与其他单词相互关联，才能完成，才会给人带来乐趣。难道我的文字就不能也具有这种双重性，从而实现我的写作目的吗？于是，现在我开始接受各种写作任务，有些报酬丰厚，有些则不然，但最重要的是，它们都让我感到快乐)”可知，父亲的行为影响了作者对写作的态度，作者提及父亲是为了强调父亲对自己的影响。故选B。 【5题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段中““You were paid peanuts!” said some of my younger, more worldly-wise friends. Unlike me, they found the best places to publish their work and the best editors to work with.(“You were paid peanuts!”一些比我年轻、更通晓世事的朋友这样说道。与我不一样，他们能找到发表作品的好地方，也能和优秀的编辑合作)”可知，朋友们认为作者报酬低，“You were paid peanuts!”意思是“你得到的报酬很少”。故选C。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段中“However, when an editor surprised me with a lower rate of pay for a piece they chose to publish online rather than in print, as was originally proposed, I was shocked... and hurt!(然而，当一位编辑出人意料地告诉我，他们选择在网上而不是按最初提议的那样在印刷版上发表我的一篇文章，而且报酬更低时，我震惊了……也很受伤！)”可知，让作者感到受伤的是他的文章在网上发表，但报酬却降低了。故选C。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是根据最后一段“Today, when doubts cloud my mind, I think of Appa’s sharpened pencil. Its purpose may have been to solve a crossword. A crossword is complete — and gives one joy — with only so many words, and only when each word rests on elements from the others. Couldn’t my words hold a duality (双重性) that completes my purpose too? And so, now I take up assignments, some that pay well, some that don’t, but together, and most importantly, they fill me with joy. After all, it is only our heartfelt passion that matters.(如今，每当我心生疑虑时，我就会想起Appa削尖铅笔。它的用途或许是解填字游戏。一份填字游戏，只有用上一定数量的单词，而且每个单词都要与其他单词相互关联，才能完成，才会给人带来乐趣。难道我的文字就不能也具有这种双重性，从而实现我的写作目的吗？于是，现在我开始接受各种写作任务，有些报酬丰厚，有些则不然，但最重要的是，它们都让我感到快乐。毕竟，只有我们发自内心的热爱才是最重要的。)”以及全文作者受父亲影响，坚持写作，不因报酬多少而改变对写作的热爱可知，我们能从这篇文章中学到“热爱你所做的，做你所爱的”。故选D。 C Have you ever wondered why certain songs or paintings feel deeply satisfying? Language expert Jay Keyser’s research finds that repetition makes art speak to us. Artists like jazz musician Duke Ellington and painter Andy Warhol purposefully use repetition — not simply as copying, but as a clever “same, but different” skill. In Ellington’s Satin Doll, for example, the rhythm repeats while the notes stay high or low, and the song’s words mirror this pattern. Warhol’s soup cans appear alike at first sight, yet each design changes a little. This skill called “same/except” by Jay Keyser in his book Play it again, Sam — makes art feel richer and more pleasant to our brains. Interestingly, discovering repetition brings much more. Consider a photograph of the US city of Albuquerque that is often discussed for its meaning. Look closer, and you may find that a dog sits in the center with a street sign shadow to its right copying its shape. Recognizing this hidden pattern, as Keyser suggests, repays us with unexpected pleasure and more. Training our eyes to notice such patterns — whether in poetry, paintings or songs — unlocks new meaning. Why does repetition create such a connection? According to Keyser, science offers an answer: the mere exposure effect (单纯曝光效应). Just as a baby grows fond of a mother’s face through repeated sights, we naturally develop a liking for familiar patterns. Advertisers use this by repeating product names to build trust. Artists harness it too — Warhol’s repeated cans or a song’s repeated catchy parts make us feel comforted and connected. Keyser shows great art works with the brain’s makeup. When artists repeat certain parts with changes, the art is in line with how our minds seek order, expect patterns, and gain joy from “finding” connections — though we are not aware of it. By studying how artists skillfully apply the “same/except” skill across mediums, and by connecting these choices with science, we gain the key to admiring creativity’s universal magic. This makes everyday experiences with music, paintings, and words much richer. 8. What does the “same/except” skill focus on? A. Non-traditional artistic styles. B. Combining different art forms. C. Repetition with slight variations. D. Breaking all patterns completely. 9. What does the example of the Albuquerque photo highlight? A. Fun designs attract more attention. B. Admiring street art lifts one’s spirits. C. Repetition enriches art experiences. D. Famous art deserves lasting discussion. 10. What does the underlined word “harness” in paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Take advantage of. B. Turn down. C. Have control of. D. Make out. 11. What does the last paragraph mainly tell us? A. Art sometimes matches our mindset. B. Science explains artistic techniques. C. Artists use repetition unconsciously. D. Creativity is the key to admiring art. 【答案】8. C 9. C 10. A 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，文章通过引用语言专家Jay Keyser的研究，结合艺术家案例和科学原理，解释“重复”在艺术中的作用及背后逻辑。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Artists like jazz musician Duke Ellington and painter Andy Warhol purposefully use repetition — not simply as copying, but as a clever “same, but different” skill. (爵士乐演奏家Duke Ellington和画家Andy Warhol这样的艺术家，会有意地运用重复手法——这并非简单的模仿行为，而是一种巧妙的“相同，但不同”的技巧。)”以及后文的例子“In Ellington’s Satin Doll, for example, the rhythm repeats while the notes stay high or low, and the song’s words mirror this pattern. Warhol’s soup cans appear alike at first sight, yet each design changes a little. This skill called “same/except” by Jay Keyser in his book Play it again, Sam — makes art feel richer and more pleasant to our brains. (例如，在Ellington的《Satin Doll》中，节奏不断重复，而音符则保持在高音或低音位置，歌曲的词也遵循了这种模式。Warhol的罐头图案乍一看都很相似，但每个设计又略有不同。Jay Keyser在其著作《Play it again, Sam》中称这一技巧为“同中存异”（same/except）它让艺术作品显得更加丰富，也更能让我们的大脑感到愉悦)”可知，“同中存异”（same/except）技巧的核心是重复中带有轻微变化。故选C。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“Interestingly, discovering repetition brings much more. Consider a photograph of the US city of Albuquerque that is often discussed for its meaning. Look closer, and you may find that a dog sits in the center with a street sign shadow to its right copying its shape. Recognizing this hidden pattern, as Keyser suggests, repays us with unexpected pleasure and more. Training our eyes to notice such patterns — whether in poetry, paintings or songs — unlocks new meaning.(有趣的是，发现重复现象所带来的益处远不止于此。不妨看看一张关于美国阿尔伯克基市的照片——这张照片的深层含义一直备受讨论。凑近观察，你会发现照片中央坐着一只狗，而它右侧的路牌影子，恰好复刻了狗的轮廓。正如Keyser所指出的，认识到这种隐藏的模式会给我们带来意想不到的愉悦感以及更多的收获。训练我们的目光去留意这类模式——无论是在诗歌、绘画还是歌曲中——都能开启新的意义)”可知，该段以照片为例，是为了论证“发现重复能带来额外价值”，包括意外的愉悦感和新的意义，由此可知，以Albuquerque照片为例，强调了重复丰富了艺术体验。故选C。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段中划线词上文“According to Keyser, science offers an answer: the mere exposure effect (单纯曝光效应). (根据Keyser的观点，科学给出了答案：单纯曝光效应)”、“Advertisers use this by repeating product names to build trust.(广告商通过重复产品名称来建立信任)”以及划线词所在句“Artists harness it too — Warhol’s repeated cans or a song’s repeated catchy parts make us feel comforted and connected. (艺术家们也harness它——Warhol重复的罐子或一首歌重复的朗朗上口的部分让我们感到安慰和联系)”可知，广告商和艺术家都利用了单纯曝光效应，harness与文中“use”同义，表示“利用”，与选项中Take advantage of意思一致。故选A。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段“Keyser shows great art works with the brain’ makeup. When artists repeat certain parts with changes, the art is in line with how our minds seek order, expect patterns, and gain joy from “finding” connections — though we are not aware of it. By studying how artists skillfully apply the “same/except” skill across mediums, and by connecting these choices with science, we gain the key to admiring creativity’s universal magic. This makes everyday experiences with music, paintings, and words much richer.(Keyser指出，伟大的艺术作品与人类的大脑构造相契合。当艺术家在重复某些元素的同时加入变化时，这类艺术便与我们大脑的运作方式不谋而合——我们的大脑会不自觉地寻求秩序、期待规律，并从“发现”事物间的关联中获得愉悦，只是我们自己并未察觉这一点。通过研究艺术家如何巧妙地在不同艺术媒介中运用“同中存异”（same/except）的技巧，并将这些创作选择与科学原理相结合，我们便能掌握欣赏创造力所蕴含的普世魅力的关键。这使得我们在日常生活中接触音乐、绘画与文字时，能获得远比以往更丰富的体验)”可知，最后一段首句点明主旨：伟大艺术作品与大脑的构成相契合，并指出艺术（通过重复与变化的手法）与人类大脑的认知方式（寻求秩序、期待模式、从发现联系中获得快乐）一致。由此可知，最后一段主要告诉我们“艺术有时与我们的思维模式一致”。故选A。 D New era requires a new vocabulary. Will we still talk about the “mobile” phone when all phones are mobile, or when they are implanted (植入) within us? Technology is everywhere nowadays, especially at work. Some people are really good at using all the cool new tools that keep popping up. They have something called TQ, or technology quotient. It’s like a superpower for understanding the latest tech stuff that our great-grandparents would have found really impossible. Having a high TQ means you’re awesome at using all the cool new things that not everyone knows about yet. The examples are common and becoming more and more frequent. For the parent it might be a home-school video class. For the brand manager it might be search engine boosting. And for the clinician, it might be the role of artificial intelligence in supporting the analysis of a CT scan. TQ attempts to quantify our ability to make sensible use of current technologies and to quickly adapt, embrace and capitalize on future creations. This adoption is critical from a variety of perspectives, from social to business. One trip into the world of ChatGPT and we can see how the dynamics of AI and search are changing for just about everyone. Any Mom or Dad can understand the value of IQ and EQ in projecting the potential for a child’s success. But what about technology? The ability for the child and the teacher to understand, embrace and adopt technology will be a defining aspect of their lives as we speed into the future. We are increasingly defined by technology and our active participation in everything from smart phones to Facebook. It might just be time for the basic human needs of food, water and shelter to incorporate (吸收) technology too. And when that happens, it just might be a good idea to measure it. While this shift brings challenges, it’s unstoppable. As TQ rises, it will combine with IQ and EQ, reshaping how we live, work, and learn—turning adaptability with tech into a measurable edge. 12. What is TQ according to the text? A. Speed of learning new languages. B. Skill of fixing high-tech products. C. Talent to follow modern changes. D. Ability to apply new technologies. 13. Which of the following people has a high TQ? A. A manager who often uses modern search engines. B. A doctor who analyzes CT scans with AI assistance. C. A grandparent who finds new tech devices awkward. D. A mom who watches videos of her child’s school life. 14. What’s the writer’s attitude towards TQ? A. Positive. B. Negative. C. Doubtful. D. Contradictory. 15. What might be the best title for the passage? A. Why Are IQ and EQ Important for TQ? B. How Has TQ Changed in the Modern Era? C. What Makes TQ the New Intelligence? D. Where to Start Adapting to TQ Changes? 【答案】12. D 13. B 14. A 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了TQ（科技商数）的概念，阐述了在科技无处不在的当今时代，理解和运用技术的能力（TQ）正变得与IQ和EQ一样重要，并将成为定义个人成功的关键因素。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“It’s like a superpower for understanding the latest tech stuff that our great-grandparents would have found really impossible. Having a high TQ means you’re awesome at using all the cool new things that not everyone knows about yet. (它就像一种超能力，能让人理解最新的科技事物——这些事物对我们的曾祖父母来说，无疑是难以想象的。拥有高技术商数（TQ），意味着你擅长运用那些眼下还未被所有人熟知的酷炫新事物)”以及第三段“TQ attempts to quantify our ability to make sensible use of current technologies and to quickly adapt, embrace and capitalize on future creations. (TQ试图量化我们合理利用现有技术、并快速适应、接纳和利用未来创造的能力)”可知，TQ指的是应用新技术的能力。故选D项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Having a high TQ means you’re awesome at using all the cool new things that not everyone knows about yet. (拥有高TQ意味着你非常擅长使用那些还不是人人都知道的新奇事物)”和第三段所举例子“For the clinician, it might be the role of artificial intelligence in supporting the analysis of a CT scan. (对临床医生来说，它可能是人工智能在辅助分析CT扫描中的作用)”可知，能够利用AI辅助分析CT扫描的医生，正是擅长运用前沿新技术的典型例子，因此他拥有高TQ。故选B项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是最后一段“As TQ rises, it will combine with IQ and EQ, reshaping how we live, work, and learn—turning adaptability with tech into a measurable edge. (随着TQ的提升，它将与IQ和EQ结合，重塑我们的生活、工作和学习方式——将对技术的适应能力转变为一种可衡量的优势)”可知，作者认为TQ的提升能带来竞争优势，并将其与IQ、EQ并列，视为未来成功的关键。因此作者对TQ持积极的态度。故选A项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“New era requires a new vocabulary. Will we still talk about the “mobile” phone when all phones are mobile, or when they are implanted (植入) within us? (新时代需要新的词汇。当所有手机都具备移动功能，或是当手机被植入我们体内时，我们还会称呼它为“移动”电话吗？)”并结合全文内容可知，文章开篇以新时代需要新词汇引出话题，接着第二段定义了TQ的概念，第三段举例说明TQ的应用并强调其重要性，第四段将其与IQ、EQ类比，指出其将成为定义未来成功的关键方面，末段总结TQ将结合IQ、EQ重塑我们的生活。全文核心围绕“是什么使TQ成为一种新的智力商数”展开。故选C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。 “Is the glass half empty or half full?” This old English saying has long been used to differentiate a pessimist from an optimist. For most young people today, the answer is usually “half full”, because we have been taught that a positive attitude towards life is one of the primary keys to success.____16____ Recent studies indicate that it all depends. There is such a thing as too much positivity, also known as toxic positivity. It happens when someone remains in a happy and positive state and ignores any bad and negative emotions across all situations. ____17____ The death of a pet, a low score on a test, or a mountain of new homework should lead to emotions such as sadness, frustration and anger. If we hide these emotions just because we want to look optimistic in front of our friends and family, they can build up inside of us and end up erupting in unexpected ways.____18____ .____19____ Imagine having had a bad day, and wanting to talk about it with your friend. However, instead of listening to your problems and sympathizing with you, they simply told you to “be positive” and to “look on the bright side.” By saying such things, they give you the impression that your problems are being completely ignored. Moreover, since you don’t have the right “attitude”, your problems are ultimately your own fault. That being said, nobody likes to be around depressed people. Just take everything as it comes and express how you really feel.____20____ Given everything I have already said, my simple advice to you is to do that which gives you the best “attitude” in life, whatever for you that might be. Regardless of whether a glass is half-empty or half-full, it nonetheless still has space to fill. A. However, is being negative necessarily a bad thing? B. This makes you human, and your true friends will stick by you. C. But actually, it is normal for us to experience various emotions in a day. D. This is why I would want to write about staying positive in difficult times. E. Evidence suggests overly positive people are at higher risk of psychological problems. F. Besides personal emotional impacts, toxic positivity can negatively affect people around you. G. But with everything going on, it might feel to you like a continuous struggle to remain positive. 【答案】16. A 17. C 18. E 19. F 20. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讨论积极态度和消极态度对人的影响，指出过度积极可能有害，而适度的消极态度并不一定是坏事，并给出了一些建议。 【16题详解】 上文““Is the glass half empty or half full?” This old English saying has long been used to differentiate a pessimist from an optimist. For most young people today, the answer is usually “half full”, because we have been taught that a positive attitude towards life is one of the primary keys to success.(“杯子是半空还是半满呢？”这句古老的英语谚语长期以来一直被用来区分悲观主义者和乐观主义者。对于如今的大多数年轻人来说，答案通常是“半满”，因为我们一直被教导，对生活持积极的态度是成功的主要关键之一)”提到我们一直被教导要对生活持积极的态度，而下文“Recent studies indicate that it all depends.(最近的研究表明，这要视情况而定)”却指出最新研究表明要视情况而定，并非我们所认为那样绝对，上下文语意有转折关系。A选项“However, is being negative necessarily a bad thing?(然而，消极就一定是坏事吗？)”起到了承上启下的作用，对上文观点提出质疑，同时为下文对消极态度的讨论做好铺垫。故选A项。 【17题详解】 下文“The death of a pet, a low score on a test, or a mountain of new homework should lead to emotions such as sadness, frustration and anger.(宠物的死亡、考试的低分或堆积如山的新作业应该会导致悲伤、沮丧和愤怒等情绪)”列举了日常生活中可能出现的各种消极情绪，是对C选项“But actually, it is normal for us to experience various emotions in a day.(但实际上，我们一天中经历一系列情绪是正常的)”中“a range of emotions”的举例说明，上下文语意连贯。故选C项。 【18题详解】 上文“If we hide these emotions just because we want to look optimistic in front of our friends and family, they can build up inside of us and end up erupting in unexpected ways.(如果我们仅仅因为想在朋友和家人面前显得乐观而隐藏这些情绪，它们就会在我们内心积累，最终以意想不到的方式爆发出来)”指出为了显得乐观而隐藏的情绪最终会爆发。E选项“Evidence suggests overly positive people are at higher risk of psychological problems.(证据表明，过于积极的人患心理问题的风险更高)”承接上文，进一步阐述了过度积极可能导致心理问题，句中“at higher risk of psychological problems”与上文“erupting in unexpected ways”相照应。故选E项。 【19题详解】 下文“Imagine having had a bad day, and wanting to talk about it with your friend. However, instead of listening to your problems and sympathizing with you, they simply told you to “be positive” and to “look on the bright side.” By saying such things, they give you the impression that your problems are being completely ignored.(想象一下，你度过了一天糟糕的时光，想和朋友聊聊。然而，他们并没有倾听你的问题或同情你，而是简单地告诉你‘要积极’和‘往好的方面看’。说这样的话，他们给你的印象是你的问题被完全忽视了)”用一个例子来说明过度积极对周围人的负面影响，是对F选项“Besides personal emotional impacts, toxic positivity can negatively affect people around you.(有害的积极态度除了对个人情感的影响外，这种态度也会对你周围的人产生负面影响)”这一观点进行的举例论证，上下文语意连贯。故选F项。 【20题详解】 上文“Just take everything as it comes and express how you really feel.(顺其自然，表达你真实的感受)”建议人们要真诚地表达自己的感受。B选项“This makes you human, and your true friends will stick by you.(这正是你身为人类的真实写照，你真正的朋友会始终支持你。)”指出了真诚表达自己感受的好处，即让人更真实，且能得到真正朋友的支持，与上文内容相呼应。故选B项。 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和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 We’ve all had a wrong number text before, but how often do they lead to years-long friendships?

We’ve come to say goodbye. “Bye, sailboats,” Mom says. My little brother, Ben, waves his fist. “Goodbye, harbor,” Dad says. I remember clouds of seagulls (海鸥) following the fishing boats, hoping to snap up shellfish tossed overboard. “Any last farewells, Marissa?” Dad asks me. I bite my lower lip. Goodbye, home. When mom and dad announced we were moving, Dad said we were going “home.” He meant out west, where Grandma and Grandpa raised him along with lots of chickens and cattle. “The desert is beautiful in its own way,” Dad said. I tried to smile. But I knew mountains would only stand between me and the rosy sun rising over the ocean. “We’ll find new things to love,” Mom promised. But I knew I’d never love anything as much as waking up to the sound of a seagull’s cry. After five days of driving across rolling prairie, we see mountaintops on the horizon. On day six, we pull into Grandpa’s dusty driveway. I sigh. Now this is our house, until Mom and Dad can find a new one to buy. I take the attic (阁楼) bedroom with pink wallpaper covering the ceiling. The night before I go to school, I pull my notebook out from under the bed. I’ve started a list of Old Things I Miss: the salt scent instead of farm stink, seagulls instead of chickens, friends to play with instead of only Ben. I flip the page over, where I’ve started another list: New Things I Love. It’s still blank. That night I dream of seagulls calling, their cries rising and falling with the wind. They sail across the sky, following the fishing boats. 注意： 1.写作词数应为150个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 The next morning, I open my eyes to the ceiling, but I still hear seagulls. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Dad tells me that these desert seagulls came here 150 years ago. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 The next morning, I open my eyes to the ceiling, but I still hear seagulls. I rub my eyes, sit up and listen. Bird calls drift over the fields. Filled with curiosity, I creep down the stairs onto the back porch and squint toward the sky. To my amazement, a silver cloud of wings wheels above the freshly turned soils. I can’t believe my eyes. “Seagulls!” I gulp. But how can that be? Thrilled yet confused, I hurry to Dad, who is already working on the farm. “They are desert gulls,” Dad says with a grin. Dad tells me that these desert seagulls came here 150 years ago. They don’t seem to mind that they don’t belong here. I close my eyes and listen to the gulls who have lived here forever. This place doesn’t feel like home. But I feel a piece of home sneaking up on me anyway. I have something new to put on the list of New Things I Love. Maybe seagulls aren’t new, but desert gulls are new to me. I wonder if a sea girl can learn to be happy here, too. Maybe someday Mom, Dad, Ben, and I will be watching the rosy sunrise and I’ll hear a gull shriek. I’ll say, “Reminds you of home, doesn’t it?” And it won’t matter which home I mean. 【解析】 【导语】文章以人物为线索展开，讲述了玛丽莎一家离开海边的家搬去西部，出发前她向熟悉的港口、海鸥告别，满心不舍。经过几天车程抵达爷爷家，她在阁楼整理思绪，列出思念的旧物，而“喜爱的新事物”清单仍空白，夜里还梦到了海边的海鸥。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①根据第一段首句“第二天早上，我睁开眼睛看着天花板，但我仍然听到海鸥的叫声。”可知，本段可描写作者真的看到了海鸥，感到惊讶，去询问父亲它们的来历。 ②根据第二段首句“爸爸告诉我这些沙漠海鸥150年前来到这里。”可知，本段可描写作者把海鸥列入“喜爱的新事物”清单，对美好生活的想象，并认定此处为自己的“家”。 2.续写线索 依然听到海鸥叫声——确定自己看到海鸥——惊讶并询问父亲——父亲告知海鸥的来历——将海鸥列入“喜爱的新事物”清单——对美好生活的想象——认定此处是“家” 3.词类激活 行为类 ①揉擦：rub/wipe ②眯眼：squint/screw one’s eyes 情绪类 ①兴奋的：thrilled/overjoyed ②快乐的：happy/delighted ③惊讶：amazement/astonishment 【点睛】【高分句型1】Thrilled yet confused, I hurry to Dad, who is already working on the farm.(运用了形容词作状语和who引导的非限制性定语从句) 【高分句型2】I wonder if a sea girl can learn to be happy here, too.(运用了if引导的宾语从句) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2026届高三上学期中调研考试 英语 本试卷满分150分，考试时间120分钟。 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.

B When Appa passed away peacefully one morning, part of my priceless inheritance (遗产) from him is a box of yellow pencils. Some barely used, some worn-down, but each unfailingly functional, they remind me of his love of solving crossword puzzles. In his 80s, Appa would read the day’s newspaper, cover to cover. A few minutes of reading with the sun streaming in through the bay windows. A spark in his mind, and bingo! He’d get that puzzling word to complete the puzzle. While my father used words for love, I did the same for a living. In my own mind, it did not matter how much I got paid for writing. I wrote because I loved it, often for or about non-profits — that is until recently. “You were paid peanuts!” said some of my younger, more worldly-wise friends. Unlike me, they found the best places to publish their work and the best editors to work with. But their words didn’t affect me. However, when an editor surprised me with a lower rate of pay for a piece they chose to publish online rather than in print, as was originally proposed, I was shocked... and hurt! But like my father, I saw the bright side — so many people read the piece and loved it, sharing joyful emotions and praise on social media. It did wonders for my confidence. Today, when doubts cloud my mind, I think of Appa’s sharpened pencil. Its purpose may have been to solve a crossword. A crossword is complete — and gives one joy — with only so many words, and only when each word rests on elements from the others. Couldn’t my words hold a duality (双重性) that completes my purpose too?

Language expert Jay Keyser’s research finds that repetition makes art speak to us. Artists like jazz musician Duke Ellington and painter Andy Warhol purposefully use repetition — not simply as copying, but as a clever “same, but different” skill. In Ellington’s Satin Doll, for example, the rhythm repeats while the notes stay high or low, and the song’s words mirror this pattern. Warhol’s soup cans appear alike at first sight, yet each design changes a little. This skill called “same/except” by Jay Keyser in his book Play it again, Sam — makes art feel richer and more pleasant to our brains. Interestingly, discovering repetition brings much more. Consider a photograph of the US city of Albuquerque that is often discussed for its meaning. Look closer, and you may find that a dog sits in the center with a street sign shadow to its right copying its shape. Recognizing this hidden pattern, as Keyser suggests, repays us with unexpected pleasure and more. Training our eyes to notice such patterns — whether in poetry, paintings or songs — unlocks new meaning. Why does repetition create such a connection? According to Keyser, science offers an answer: the mere exposure effect (单纯曝光效应). Just as a baby grows fond of a mother’s face through repeated sights, we naturally develop a liking for familiar patterns. Advertisers use this by repeating product names to build trust. Artists harness it too — Warhol’s repeated cans or a song’s repeated catchy parts make us feel comforted and connected. Keyser shows great art works with the brain’s makeup. When artists repeat certain parts with changes, the art is in line with how our minds seek order, expect patterns, and gain joy from “finding” connections — though we are not aware of it. By studying how artists skillfully apply the “same/except” skill across mediums, and by connecting these choices with science, we gain the key to admiring creativity’s universal magic. This makes everyday experiences with music, paintings, and words much richer. 8. What does the “same/except” skill focus on? A. Non-traditional artistic styles. B. Combining different art forms. C. Repetition with slight variations. D. Breaking all patterns completely. 9. What does the example of the Albuquerque photo highlight? A. Fun designs attract more attention. B Admiring street art lifts one’s spirits. C. Repetition enriches art experiences. D. Famous art deserves lasting discussion. 10. What does the underlined word “harness” in paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Take advantage of. B. Turn down. C. Have control of. D. Make out. 11. What does the last paragraph mainly tell us? A. Art sometimes matches our mindset. B. Science explains artistic techniques. C. Artists use repetition unconsciously. D. Creativity is the key to admiring art. D New era requires a new vocabulary. Will we still talk about the “mobile” phone when all phones are mobile, or when they are implanted (植入) within us? Technology is everywhere nowadays, especially at work. Some people are really good at using all the cool new tools that keep popping up. They have something called TQ, or technology quotient. It’s like a superpower for understanding the latest tech stuff that our great-grandparents would have found really impossible. Having a high TQ means you’re awesome at using all the cool new things that not everyone knows about yet. The examples are common and becoming more and more frequent. For the parent it might be a home-school video class. For the brand manager it might be search engine boosting. And for the clinician, it might be the role of artificial intelligence in supporting the analysis of a CT scan. TQ attempts to quantify our ability to make sensible use of current technologies and to quickly adapt, embrace and capitalize on future creations. This adoption is critical from a variety of perspectives, from social to business. One trip into the world of ChatGPT and we can see how the dynamics of AI and search are changing for just about everyone. Any Mom or Dad can understand the value of IQ and EQ in projecting the potential for a child’s success. But what about technology? The ability for the child and the teacher to understand, embrace and adopt technology will be a defining aspect of their lives as we speed into the future. We are increasingly defined by technology and our active participation in everything from smart phones to Facebook. It might just be time for the basic human needs of food, water and shelter to incorporate (吸收) technology too. And when that happens, it just might be a good idea to measure it. While this shift brings challenges, it’s unstoppable. As TQ rises, it will combine with IQ and EQ, reshaping how we live, work, and learn—turning adaptability with tech into a measurable edge. 12. What is TQ according to the text? A. Speed of learning new languages. B. Skill of fixing high-tech products. C. Talent to follow modern changes. D. Ability to apply new technologies. 13. Which of the following people has a high TQ? A. A manager who often uses modern search engines. B. A doctor who analyzes CT scans with AI assistance. C. A grandparent who finds new tech devices awkward. D. A mom who watches videos of her child’s school life. 14. What’s the writer’s attitude towards TQ? A. Positive. B. Negative. C. Doubtful. D. Contradictory. 15. What might be the best title for the passage? A. Why Are IQ and EQ Important for TQ? B. How Has TQ Changed in the Modern Era? C. What Makes TQ the New Intelligence? D. Where to Start Adapting to TQ Changes? 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。 “Is the glass half empty or half full?” This old English saying has long been used to differentiate a pessimist from an optimist. For most young people today, the answer is usually “half full”, because we have been taught that a positive attitude towards life is one of the primary keys to success.____16____ Recent studies indicate that it all depends. There is such a thing as too much positivity, also known as toxic positivity. It happens when someone remains in a happy and positive state and ignores any bad and negative emotions across all situations. ____17____ The death of a pet, a low score on a test, or a mountain of new homework should lead to emotions such as sadness, frustration and anger. If we hide these emotions just because we want to look optimistic in front of our friends and family, they can build up inside of us and end up erupting in unexpected ways.____18____ .____19____ Imagine having had a bad day, and wanting to talk about it with your friend. However, instead of listening to your problems and sympathizing with you, they simply told you to “be positive” and to “look on the bright side.” By saying such things, they give you the impression that your problems are being completely ignored. Moreover, since you don’t have the right “attitude”, your problems are ultimately your own fault. That being said, nobody likes to be around depressed people. Just take everything as it comes and express how you really feel.____20____ Given everything I have already said, my simple advice to you is to do that which gives you the best “attitude” in life, whatever for you that might be. Regardless of whether a glass is half-empty or half-full, it nonetheless still has space to fill. A. However, is being negative necessarily a bad thing? B. This makes you human, and your true friends will stick by you. C. But actually, it is normal for us to experience various emotions in a day. D. This is why I would want to write about staying positive in difficult times. E. Evidence suggests overly positive people are at higher risk of psychological problems. F. Besides personal emotional impacts, toxic positivity can negatively affect people around you. G. But with everything going on, it might feel to you like a continuous struggle to remain positive. 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和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 We’ve all had a wrong number text before, but how often do they lead to years-long friendships?

We’ve come to say goodbye. “Bye, sailboats,” Mom says. My little brother, Ben, waves his fist. “Goodbye, harbor,” Dad says. I remember clouds of seagulls (海鸥) following the fishing boats, hoping to snap up shellfish tossed overboard. “Any last farewells, Marissa?” Dad asks me. I bite my lower lip. Goodbye, home. When mom and dad announced we were moving, Dad said we were going “home.” He meant out west, where Grandma and Grandpa raised him along with lots of chickens and cattle. “The desert is beautiful in its own way,” Dad said. I tried to smile. But I knew mountains would only stand between me and the rosy sun rising over the ocean. “We’ll find new things to love,” Mom promised. But I knew I’d never love anything as much as waking up to the sound of a seagull’s cry. After five days of driving across rolling prairie, we see mountaintops on the horizon. On day six, we pull into Grandpa’s dusty driveway. I sigh. Now this is our house, until Mom and Dad can find a new one to buy. I take the attic (阁楼) bedroom with pink wallpaper covering the ceiling. The night before I go to school, I pull my notebook out from under the bed. I’ve started a list of Old Things I Miss: the salt scent instead of farm stink, seagulls instead of chickens, friends to play with instead of only Ben. I flip the page over, where I’ve started another list: New Things I Love. It’s still blank. That night I dream of seagulls calling, their cries rising and falling with the wind. They sail across the sky, following the fishing boats. 注意： 1.写作词数应为150个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 The next morning, I open my eyes to the ceiling, but I still hear seagulls. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Dad tells me that these desert seagulls came here 150 years ago. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
