The drone of the younger boys reading letters and the older boys reciting Latin verbs made him sleepy. David had to force his eyes to stay open. He wanted to learn something new. He looked up at the schoolmaster’s high desk in the front of the room. The new teacher, Mr. John Adams, was from Harvard College. David’s father had been impressed with him. The boys had already had several other teachers, but none of them seemed to inspire David. So far, there was nothing to show that this one was special, though he’d only been there two days. “It’s too hot to sit and memorize lessons,” the schoolmaster said. “We’ll move outdoors for the next part of our lesson.” He led the group of boys into the schoolyard. “You younger boys, dig for grubs and beetles (幼虫和甲虫). Count their feet. See if you can describe their shells (壳).” David watched the teacher surrounded by laughing young students. No one had ever used the schoolyard itself for a classroom. “What next?” he thought. Soon he didn’t have time to think about the younger boys, for he was running after butterflies and dragonflies himself. David and his friends liked this new way of learning. “It will be a clear night tonight. Go outside and look at the sky,” said the schoolmaster. “Look at the stars ad notice their brightness and the patterns they make. These patterns have names from Greek mythology (神话), names like Orion, Aries, and others. Tomorrow we will learn about the ancient stories on them.” “How is the new schoolmaster?” asked David’s father that evening, when David announced he was going out to look at the sky. “He’s different from any schoolmaster we’ve had,” David admitted. “He seems interested in everything around him, and he wants us to be curious too. He even used the schoolyard as a classroom.” “So Mr. John Adams and his new ways make school useful to you after all,” joked David’s father. “I believe he has,” said David. “I know I won’t forget the lessons he has taught us.” 4. What does the underlined word “drone” in paragraph 1 mean? A. Clear speaking voices. B. Low dull sounds. C. Enthusiastic responses. D. High spirits. 5. Which statement shows that the new schoolmaster understood the children? A. “It’s too hot to sit and memorize lessons…” B. “See if you can describe their shells…” C. “Go outside and look at the sky…” D. “Tomorrow we will learn about the ancient stories…” 6. From paragraph 8, we can learn that . A. David’s father had met the new schoolmaster B. David had thought poorly of school before C. David’s father was not satisfied with the new ways D. David had shown his father his homework 7. What is the main idea of this story? A. Science is all around us. B. School provides us with the best education. C. There is more than one way to learn. D. Homework is an important part of education. C My brother once said, “I’d love for us all to live together, but it’s just not practical.” This reflects a Western way of thinking that values independence over living with family. However, as housing costs rise and families face elder care challenges, this way of thinking is changing. Living with several generations — common in places like China — is becoming popular in the UK. Recent reports showed that 1.8 million UK households now include two or more adult generations. Census (人口普查) data showed that 71 percent of Britons would consider it in the future. Money is a big reason: The cost-of-living crisis makes sharing rent, utilities (水电费) and groceries practical. For aging parents, avoiding expensive care facilities lowers financial pressure. However, focusing only on money misses the deeper benefits. Living together isn’t just about sharing bills; it’s about sharing lives. It creates support systems: Grandparents look after children, adults help with chores and teens learn patience and care from elders. In a society facing loneliness, especially among seniors, being close allows daily contact that phone calls can’t replace. My brother’s wish for a “big house” wasn’t only old memories — it showed that separated families often miss these moments. Of course, there are challenges. Privacy concerns, different routines and small spaces require give-and-take (互相谦让). But modern design, from granny flats to shared common areas, can help. The key is to set boundaries while respecting each other. Some people say living with several generations feels like going backward. I see it as progress: using tradition to solve modern problems. China’s model worked not because of duty, but because it understood that family members need each other. As we rethink aging, childcare and housing costs in the West, combining households offers more than just saving money — it can bring back the sense of community we’ve lost. Living with several generations isn’t for everyone, but calling it “impractical” ignores its potential. It is a caring response to today’s pressures, one that turns “my burden (负担)” into “our shared life”. Let’s stop seeing it as a sacrifice and start valuing it as a choice worth considering. 8. What does the author suggest about the Western view of family life? A. It prefers wealth to relationships. B. It sees independence as important. C. It values privacy more than support. D. It ignores tradition in modern times. 9. What deeper role of multi-generational living does the author highlight? A. It strengthens family connections. B. It encourages respect for traditions. C. It prepares children for adulthood. D. It reduces dependence on society. 10. Why does the author mention China’s model of living? A. To criticize Western values. B. To provide a cultural difference. C. To show a successful example. D. To defend traditional duties. 11. What does the author consider multi-generational living? A. It is modern yet imperfect. B. It is practical yet a short-term fix. C. It is outdated but unavoidable. D. It is challenging but helpful. D What did you have for breakfast today? And how did you celebrate your last birthday? When you think back to these events you’re using episodic memory (情景记忆) — the ability to recall personal experiences tied to specific times and places. But how does your brain keep these memories separate without mixing them up? Scientists at the University of California, Los Angeles, in the US believe this is thanks to a “memory reset button” in our brainstem (脑干). This small region, called the locus coeruleus (蓝斑核) , helps organize and separate our memories. In the study, 36 volunteers took part in a memory task. Lying in an MRI scanner (核磁共振扫描仪), they were shown a series of pictures of different objects. Meanwhile, several simple tones were played over and over again, first in one ear and then in the other with a different pitch (音调). The pitch change aimed to change the context (情境) and create an event boundary. According to a previous study by Kansas State University in the US, event boundaries help the brain organize episodic memory by changing our perception (感知) and attention. Ever walked into a room and suddenly forgot why? That’s an event boundary — entering or exiting a room — at work. After the experiment, scientists tested how well the volunteers could recall the order of the pictures. The result showed that it was harder to do when the series of pictures crossed an event boundary. This suggests that changes in sound made the brain store memories separately. What’s more, MRI scans showed that the locus coeruleus became highly active when event boundaries appeared, but not so much otherwise. Earlier research showed that the hippocampus (海马体), another brain region, helps shape episodic memory by both linking events close together in time and separating those further apart. But what tells the hippocampus when to change modes? MRI scans suggest that “the locus coeruleus may provide the critical ‘start’ signal to the hippocampus, as if saying, ‘Hey, we’re in a new event now’,” said Lila Davachi, one of the researchers. The new understanding could lead to better treatments for memory-related problems like Alzheimer’s disease, where the locus coeruleus is overactive. These conditions might be managed by calming the locus coeruleus through medication, slow breathing or even using stress balls. 12. How does the author introduce the research in the beginning? A. By sharing experiences. B. By raising questions. C. By imagining scenes. D. By explaining a theory. 13. What was the purpose of playing tones with different pitches in the experiment? A. To create real-life situations. B. To test volunteers’ hearing ability. C. To mark a shift to a new context. D. To increase the difficulty of the task. 14. What did the MRI scans reveal about the locus coeruleus during the experiment? A. It showed higher activity at event boundaries. B. It sent signals to the hippocampus regularly. C. It controlled volunteers’ memory recall order. D. It helped link pictures to specific sounds. 15. What is the last paragraph mainly about? A. The difficulty of treating memory-related disease. B. The potential applications of the research findings. C. The drawbacks of the small-scale experiment. D. The future research directions for memory. 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。 Improve your attention span May I have your attention, please? I’ll try and be quick, as I probably only have about 47 seconds before your mind starts wandering (走神). That, according to psychologist Dr Gloria Mark, is now our average attention span (注意力持续时间), based on her latest study of people’s use of screens in the workplace. Of course, this figure has its limits. As other psychologists have argued your concentration can vary so much, the very idea of an “average" attention span is almost meaningless. ____16____. Nevertheless, it’s likely your attention span is decreasing. As one recent survey suggests, nearly half the population nowadays feels as if theirs is worse than it was. ____17____. Of course, we can silence our phone notifications (通知) and put on noise-canceling headphones. ____18____. Unknowingly, you’re “interrupting” yourself all day long, according to Mark. Even while reading this, you may have gotten the sudden desire to look something up online, check your emails or do something else. “It’s something we do without realizing,” said Mark. ____19____. Lining up your most mentally taxing tasks with your natural peaks (顶峰) of focus is key to concentration, says Mark. Her research has found that, on average, these high points occur around 10 a.m. in the morning and around 2 — 3 p.m. in the afternoon. ____20____, depending on whether you’re more of a morning person or a night person. “If a person is an early type, their peak focus would be earlier — before 10 a.m.,” explains Mark. “And if they’re a late type, their peak focus will be later.” A. There are differences around these times B. Don’t expect to always be focused and productive C. One solution to this is to pay attention to your body clock D. Because of this, there isn’t even scientific agreement on how to measure focus E. With the ever-present pull of our emails and social media, it’s easy to see why F. However, even when we’ve done all that, there’s still the enemy within to deal with G. While we don’t all have the same attention span, truly paying attention to something is universal 第三部分 语言运用(共三节，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。 Several years ago, I met a girl through our local community theater.

Since Ella’s father left them ten years ago, she had worked hard alone, sewing clothes for others to make a living. Their small home was often silent, filled with the unspoken words that hang between two people who love each other but don’t know how to say it. The only thing that never changed was the neatly mended (修补) school uniform on Ella’s bed each night, and her mother’s soft words, “Don’t stay up too late.” One Sunday, while looking for an extra blanket in the attic (阁楼), Ella found an old wooden box. Driven by curiosity, she found the key hidden beneath it and managed to open it. Inside, she saw a beautiful white ballet dress and a pair of special ballet shoes. Under them was an old ticket for a dance show called Swan Lake, and a photo of her young mother, poised gracefully at the barre (扶手杠) in a dance studio, her face full of a joy and passion Ella had never seen before. That evening, as they ate their dinner in silence, Ella found the courage to speak. “Mom,” she said carefully, “I found a box in the attic today... with a ballet dress.” Her mother stopped eating. She looked down at her own work-worn hands. “That was a long time ago,” she murmured. After a pause, she added, “I had to stop when the dance school became too expensive.” The deep regret in her voice made Ella’ s heart hurt. The next day, Ella went online and found “Madame Rosalie’s Dance Studio” — a small but well-known place not far from her home. Madame Rosalie, a kind-eyed lady, listened to Ella’ s story. She then made an offer. “You can help me with the young children and look after the dance clothes after school for a month,” she said. “In return, I’ ll give you a voucher (凭证) for the dance lessons.” 注意： 1.续写词数应为150个左右; 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 For the next month, Ella was busy with school, homework, and the dance studio. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ On her mother’s birthday, Ella woke up very early to get her surprise ready. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 长郡中学 2025年下学期高一期中考试 英语 时量：120分钟 满分：150分 第一部分 听力(共两节，满分30分) 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 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。 例: How much is the shirt?

(我们提供了移动厕所和一个垃圾桶，但是没有饮用水、淋浴和电)”可知，露营地没有饮用水，所以游客需要自带饮用水。故选D项。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Campsite Fees部分“$35 a night for up to 5 people; Children under 12 years old camp for free. (每晚35美元，最多5人；12岁以下儿童露营免费)”可知，两对夫妇共4人，带两个10岁孩子免费，每晚35美元，两晚则是35×2=70美元。故选C项。 3题详解】 细节理解题。根据Site 3最后一句“Great for fishing and cooling off. (是钓鱼和纳凉的绝佳去处)”以及Site 4“This site has shallow (knee-deep) moving water located, which is suitable for fishing! (这个地点有及膝深的浅水流动，适合钓鱼)”可知，Site 3和Site 4适合钓鱼。故选D项。 B David Thompson sat on a hard bench behind the long narrow desk and watched the flies fly lazily in the sun. The drone of the younger boys reading letters and the older boys reciting Latin verbs made him sleepy. David had to force his eyes to stay open. He wanted to learn something new. He looked up at the schoolmaster’s high desk in the front of the room. The new teacher, Mr. John Adams, was from Harvard College. David’s father had been impressed with him. The boys had already had several other teachers, but none of them seemed to inspire David. So far, there was nothing to show that this one was special, though he’d only been there two days. “It’s too hot to sit and memorize lessons,” the schoolmaster said. “We’ll move outdoors for the next part of our lesson.” He led the group of boys into the schoolyard. “You younger boys, dig for grubs and beetles (幼虫和甲虫). Count their feet. See if you can describe their shells (壳).” David watched the teacher surrounded by laughing young students. No one had ever used the schoolyard itself for a classroom. “What next?” he thought. Soon he didn’t have time to think about the younger boys, for he was running after butterflies and dragonflies himself. David and his friends liked this new way of learning. “It will be a clear night tonight. Go outside and look at the sky,” said the schoolmaster. “Look at the stars ad notice their brightness and the patterns they make. These patterns have names from Greek mythology (神话), names like Orion, Aries, and others. Tomorrow we will learn about the ancient stories on them.” “How is the new schoolmaster?” asked David’s father that evening, when David announced he was going out to look at the sky. “He’s different from any schoolmaster we’ve had,” David admitted. “He seems interested in everything around him, and he wants us to be curious too. He even used the schoolyard as a classroom.” “So Mr. John Adams and his new ways make school useful to you after all,” joked David’s father. “I believe he has,” said David. “I know I won’t forget the lessons he has taught us.” 4. What does the underlined word “drone” in paragraph 1 mean? A. Clear speaking voices. B. Low dull sounds. C. Enthusiastic responses. D. High spirits. 5. Which statement shows that the new schoolmaster understood the children? A. “It’s too hot to sit and memorize lessons…” B. “See if you can describe their shells…” C. “Go outside and look at the sky…” D. “Tomorrow we will learn about the ancient stories…” 6. From paragraph 8, we can learn that . A. David’s father had met the new schoolmaster B. David had thought poorly of school before C. David’s father was not satisfied with the new ways D. David had shown his father his homework 7. What is the main idea of this story? A. Science is all around us. B. School provides us with the best education. C. There is more than one way to learn. D. Homework is an important part of education. 【答案】4. B 5. A 6. B 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了新校长用其独特的教学方法重新点燃了原本厌学的 David的学习兴趣的故事。 【4题详解】 词句猜测题。文章第一段中“David had to force his eyes to stay open. He wanted to learn something new. (David不得不强迫自己睁着眼睛。他想学点新东西。)”提到 David的学习兴致不高，所描述的场景也跟他的心情一样，由画线词所在句的“made him sleepy”可推知，那些背诵读书的嗡嗡声让 David昏昏欲睡。故选B。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段““I believe he has,” said David. “I know I won’t forget the lessons he has taught us.” (“我相信他已经做到了，” David说。“我知道我不会忘记他教给我们的东西。”)”提到的新校长的教学方法给 David带来的变化可知，校长了解学生们厌烦了日复一日的常规教学，而A项准确地说明了教师对学生心情的了解。故选A。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。由第一段中“David had to force his eyes to stay open. He wanted to learn something new. (David不得不强迫自己睁着眼睛。他想学点新东西。)”和第八段“He’s different from any schoolmaster we’ve had,” David admitted. “He seems interested in everything around him, and he wants us to be curious too. He even used the schoolyard as a classroom.” (“他和我们以前的校长都不一样，” David承认。“他似乎对周围的一切都很感兴趣，他想让我们也好奇。他甚至把校园当成了教室。”)”可知，以前David学习兴致不高，放学回家后对新校长给出好评，由此可推知在新校长到来之前，David此前一直对学校的评价不高。故选B。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据全文内容，结合第八段“He’s different from any schoolmaster we’ve had,” David admitted. “He seems interested in everything around him, and he wants us to be curious too. He even used the schoolyard as a classroom.” (“他和我们以前的校长都不一样，” David承认。“他似乎对周围的一切都很感兴趣，他想让我们也好奇。他甚至把校园当成了教室。”)”可知，文章主要讲了John Adams当教师时让学生们摆脱了单调无聊的常规学习方法，给学生们带来全新的学习体验。故选C。 C My brother once said, “I’d love for us all to live together, but it’s just not practical.” This reflects a Western way of thinking that values independence over living with family. However, as housing costs rise and families face elder care challenges, this way of thinking is changing. Living with several generations — common in places like China — is becoming popular in the UK. Recent reports showed that 1.8 million UK households now include two or more adult generations. Census (人口普查) data showed that 71 percent of Britons would consider it in the future. Money is a big reason: The cost-of-living crisis makes sharing rent, utilities (水电费) and groceries practical. For aging parents, avoiding expensive care facilities lowers financial pressure. However, focusing only on money misses the deeper benefits. Living together isn’t just about sharing bills; it’s about sharing lives. It creates support systems: Grandparents look after children, adults help with chores and teens learn patience and care from elders. In a society facing loneliness, especially among seniors, being close allows daily contact that phone calls can’t replace. My brother’s wish for a “big house” wasn’t only old memories — it showed that separated families often miss these moments. Of course, there are challenges. Privacy concerns, different routines and small spaces require give-and-take (互相谦让). But modern design, from granny flats to shared common areas, can help. The key is to set boundaries while respecting each other. Some people say living with several generations feels like going backward. I see it as progress: using tradition to solve modern problems. China’s model worked not because of duty, but because it understood that family members need each other. As we rethink aging, childcare and housing costs in the West, combining households offers more than just saving money — it can bring back the sense of community we’ve lost. Living with several generations isn’t for everyone, but calling it “impractical” ignores its potential. It is a caring response to today’s pressures, one that turns “my burden (负担)” into “our shared life”. Let’s stop seeing it as a sacrifice and start valuing it as a choice worth considering. 8. What does the author suggest about the Western view of family life? A. It prefers wealth to relationships. B. It sees independence as important. C. It values privacy more than support. D. It ignores tradition in modern times. 9. What deeper role of multi-generational living does the author highlight? A. It strengthens family connections. B. It encourages respect for traditions. C. It prepares children for adulthood. D. It reduces dependence on society. 10. Why does the author mention China’s model of living? A. To criticize Western values. B. To provide a cultural difference. C. To show a successful example. D. To defend traditional duties. 11. What does the author consider multi-generational living? A. It is modern yet imperfect. B. It is practical yet a short-term fix. C. It is outdated but unavoidable. D. It is challenging but helpful. 【答案】8. B 9. A 10. C 11. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇议论文。探讨了西方家庭观念的变化，多代同堂生活在英国逐渐流行的原因、深层益处、面临的挑战，以及作者对这种生活方式的看法。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“This reflects a Western way of thinking that values independence over living with family. (这反映了西方的思维方式——重视独立而非与家人同住)”可知，西方的家庭生活观念重视独立性。故选B项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Living together isn’t just about sharing bills; it’s about sharing lives. It creates support systems: Grandparents look after children, adults help with chores and teens learn patience and care from elders. (同住不只是分摊账单，更是共享生活。它形成支持体系：祖父母照顾孩子，成年人帮忙做家务，青少年从长辈那里学习耐心和关心)”以及“being close allows daily contact that phone calls can’t replace (亲密相处的日常联系是电话无法替代的)”可知，共享生活、代际互助和日常联系均指向“家庭联结(family connections)”，作者强调多代同堂能加强家庭联系。故选A项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“China’s model worked not because of duty, but because it understood that family members need each other. As we rethink aging, childcare and housing costs in the West, combining households offers more than just saving money — it can bring back the sense of community we’ve lost. (中国模式有效，并非因为责任，而是因为它理解家人彼此需要。当西方社会重新思考养老、育儿和住房成本时，同住不仅省钱，还能找回失去的共同体意识)”可知，“China’s model worked”表明中国模式已被实践证明能满足家庭成员需求。作者提及中国模式，是为了用这个“已被证明可行的案例”，支撑“多代同堂能解决西方当下养老、育儿、住房成本等问题”的观点，属于“提供成功范例”。故选C项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“Of course, there are challenges. Privacy concerns, different routines and small spaces require give-and-take (互相谦让). (当然，也有挑战。隐私问题，不同的惯例和小空间需要相互让步)”以及最后一段“Living with several generations isn’t for everyone, but calling it ‘impractical’ ignores its potential. It is a caring response to today’s pressures (几代同堂并不适合每个人，但说它“不切实际”忽视了它的潜力。这是对当今压力的关怀回应)”可知，作者认为多代同堂具有挑战性但也是有益的。故选D项。 D What did you have for breakfast today? And how did you celebrate your last birthday? When you think back to these events, you’re using episodic memory (情景记忆) — the ability to recall personal experiences tied to specific times and places. But how does your brain keep these memories separate without mixing them up? Scientists at the University of California, Los Angeles, in the US believe this is thanks to a “memory reset button” in our brainstem (脑干). This small region, called the locus coeruleus (蓝斑核) , helps organize and separate our memories. In the study, 36 volunteers took part in a memory task. Lying in an MRI scanner (核磁共振扫描仪), they were shown a series of pictures of different objects. Meanwhile, several simple tones were played over and over again, first in one ear and then in the other with a different pitch (音调). The pitch change aimed to change the context (情境) and create an event boundary. According to a previous study by Kansas State University in the US, event boundaries help the brain organize episodic memory by changing our perception (感知) and attention. Ever walked into a room and suddenly forgot why? That’s an event boundary — entering or exiting a room — at work. After the experiment, scientists tested how well the volunteers could recall the order of the pictures. The result showed that it was harder to do when the series of pictures crossed an event boundary. This suggests that changes in sound made the brain store memories separately. What’s more, MRI scans showed that the locus coeruleus became highly active when event boundaries appeared, but not so much otherwise. Earlier research showed that the hippocampus (海马体), another brain region, helps shape episodic memory by both linking events close together in time and separating those further apart. But what tells the hippocampus when to change modes? MRI scans suggest that “the locus coeruleus may provide the critical ‘start’ signal to the hippocampus, as if saying, ‘Hey, we’re in a new event now’,” said Lila Davachi, one of the researchers. The new understanding could lead to better treatments for memory-related problems like Alzheimer’s disease, where the locus coeruleus is overactive. These conditions might be managed by calming the locus coeruleus through medication, slow breathing or even using stress balls. 12. How does the author introduce the research in the beginning? A. By sharing experiences. B. By raising questions. C. By imagining scenes. D. By explaining a theory. 13. What was the purpose of playing tones with different pitches in the experiment? A. To create real-life situations. B. To test volunteers’ hearing ability. C To mark a shift to a new context. D. To increase the difficulty of the task. 14. What did the MRI scans reveal about the locus coeruleus during the experiment? A. It showed higher activity at event boundaries. B. It sent signals to the hippocampus regularly. C. It controlled volunteers’ memory recall order. D. It helped link pictures to specific sounds. 15. What is the last paragraph mainly about? A. The difficulty of treating memory-related disease. B. The potential applications of the research findings. C. The drawbacks of the small-scale experiment. D. The future research directions for memory. 【答案】12. B 13. C 14. A 15. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。介绍了美国加利福尼亚大学洛杉矶分校的科学家关于大脑如何区分情景记忆的研究，揭示了蓝斑核的作用。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“What did you have for breakfast today? And how did you celebrate your last birthday? When you think back to these events, you’re using episodic memory (情景记忆) — the ability to recall personal experiences tied to specific times and places. But how does your brain keep these memories separate without mixing them up? (你今天早餐吃了什么？你上一个生日是怎么过的？当你回想这些事件时，你正在使用情景记忆——回忆与特定时间和地点相关的个人经历的能力。但是你的大脑是如何将这些记忆分开而不混淆的呢)”可知，作者以“What did you have for breakfast today? And how didyou celebrate your last birthday?”两个问题引出“情景记忆”的概念，再通过核心问题“But how does your brain keep these memories separate without mixing them up?”引出后续的研究内容。故选B项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句“The pitch change aimed to change the context (情境) and create an event boundary. (音调变化的目的是改变情境并创造一个事件边界)”可知，在实验中播放不同音调的声音是为了标志着向新情境的转变。故选C项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“MRI scans showed that the locus coeruleus became highly active when event boundaries appeared, but not so much otherwise. (核磁共振扫描显示，当事件边界出现时，蓝斑核活跃度显著升高，反之则不高)”可知，蓝斑核活跃度在事件边界时活跃度更高。故选A项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段“The new understanding could lead to better treatments for memory-related problems like Alzheimer’s disease, where the locus coeruleus is overactive. These conditions might be managed by calming the locus coeruleus through medication, slow breathing or even using stress balls. (这一新认知可能为阿尔茨海默病等记忆相关问题带来更好的治疗方法，在那里蓝斑过度活跃。这些疾病可以通过药物、缓慢呼吸甚至减压球来平复蓝斑核)”可知，最后一段围绕研究发现的潜在应用(治疗记忆疾病)展开。B选项“研究发现的潜在应用”符合段落中“为治疗记忆疾病提供思路”的核心内容。故选B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。 Improve your attention span May I have your attention, please? I’ll try and be quick, as I probably only have about 47 seconds before your mind starts wandering (走神). That, according to psychologist Dr Gloria Mark, is now our average attention span (注意力持续时间), based on her latest study of people’s use of screens in the workplace. Of course, this figure has its limits. As other psychologists have argued your concentration can vary so much, the very idea of an “average" attention span is almost meaningless. ____16____. Nevertheless, it’s likely your attention span is decreasing. As one recent survey suggests, nearly half the population nowadays feels as if theirs is worse than it was. ____17____. Of course, we can silence our phone notifications (通知) and put on noise-canceling headphones. ____18____. Unknowingly, you’re “interrupting” yourself all day long, according to Mark. Even while reading this, you may have gotten the sudden desire to look something up online, check your emails or do something else. “It’s something we do without realizing,” said Mark. ____19____. Lining up your most mentally taxing tasks with your natural peaks (顶峰) of focus is key to concentration, says Mark. Her research has found that, on average, these high points occur around 10 a.m. in the morning and around 2 — 3 p.m. in the afternoon. ____20____, depending on whether you’re more of a morning person or a night person. “If a person is an early type, their peak focus would be earlier — before 10 a.m.,” explains Mark. “And if they’re a late type, their peak focus will be later.” A. There are differences around these times B. Don’t expect to always be focused and productive C. One solution to this is to pay attention to your body clock D. Because of this, there isn’t even scientific agreement on how to measure focus E. With the ever-present pull of our emails and social media, it’s easy to see why F. However, even when we’ve done all that, there’s still the enemy within to deal with G. While we don’t all have the same attention span, truly paying attention to something is universal 【答案】16. D 17. E 18. F 19. C 20. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了现代人注意力时长缩短的现象，分析了外部和内部的原因，并提出根据个人生物钟安排任务以提高专注力的解决方案。 【16题详解】 前文“That, according to psychologist Dr Gloria Mark, is now our average attention span (注意力持续时间), based on her latest study of people’s use of screens in the workplace. Of course, this figure has its limits. As other psychologists have argued your concentration can vary so much, the very idea of an “average" attention span is almost meaningless. (根据心理学家Gloria Mark博士对人们在工作场所使用屏幕的最新研究，这是我们现在的平均注意力持续时间。当然，这个数字也有其局限性。正如其他心理学家所认为的那样，你的注意力可以变化很大，“平均”注意力持续时间的概念几乎是毫无意义的。)”指出平均注意力时长的数据及概念存在局限性，因此D项“Because of this, there isn’t even scientific agreement on how to measure focus (正因如此，科学界甚至对如何测量注意力都未达成一致)”符合语境，指出测量注意力也存在分歧，和前文构成因果关系，其中的this指代前文的争议。故选D。 【17题详解】 前文“Nevertheless, it’s likely your attention span is decreasing. As one recent survey suggests, nearly half the population nowadays feels as if theirs is worse than it was. (然而，很可能你的注意力持续时间正在减少。最近的一项调查显示，如今近一半的人感觉他们的注意力持续时间比以前更糟了。)”指出调查显示近半数人感觉注意力变差，因此E项“With the ever-present pull of our emails and social media, it’s easy to see why (由于电子邮件和社交媒体的持续干扰，这种现象很容易理解)”符合语境，解释注意力变差的原因，承接前文。故选E。 【18题详解】 前文“Of course, we can silence our phone notifications (通知) and put on noise-canceling headphones. (当然，我们可以将手机通知静音，戴上降噪耳机。)”提到关闭通知等外部措施，后文“Unknowingly, you’re “interrupting” yourself all day long, according to Mark. (Mark说，在不知不觉中，你一整天都在“打断”自己。)”提到自我打断的问题，此处需转折指出内部干扰仍存在，因此F项“However, even when we’ve done all that, there’s still the enemy within to deal with (然而，即使做了这些，我们仍需应对内在的敌人)”符合语境，和前文构成转折，引出后文的内部问题。故选F。 【19题详解】 后文“Lining up your most mentally taxing tasks with your natural peaks (顶峰) of focus is key to concentration, says Mark. (Mark说，把最耗费脑力的任务和你最容易集中注意力的时间排在一起是集中注意力的关键。)”建议根据生物钟安排任务，此处需提出关注生物钟的解决办法，因此C项“One solution to this is to pay attention to your body clock (一个解决方法是关注你的生物钟)”符合语境，提出生物钟方案，引出后文。故选C。 【20题详解】 前文“Her research has found that, on average, these high points occur around 10 a.m. in the morning and around 2 — 3 p.m. in the afternoon. (她的研究发现，平均而言，这些高峰出现在上午10点左右和下午2点至3点左右。)”给出平均高峰时间，后文“depending on whether you’re more of a morning person or a night person. “If a person is an early type, their peak focus would be earlier — before 10 a.m.,” explains Mark. “And if they’re a late type, their peak focus will be later.” (这取决于你是早起的人还是晚睡的人。Mark解释说：“如果一个人是早起型的人，他们的注意力会更早——在上午10点之前。如果他们是晚睡型的人，他们的注意力高峰将在晚些时候。”)”具体解释早起型人和晚睡型人的个体差异，此处需补充说明高峰的时间差异，因此A项“There are differences around these times (这些时间存在个体差异)”符合语境，承接前文，后文是对其展开说明。故选A。 第三部分 语言运用(共三节，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。 Several years ago, I met a girl through our local community theater.

The key to keeping the peace is ________ and honest communication. (根据句意填空) 【答案】regular 【解析】 【详解】考查形容词。句意：维持和睦的关键在于保持定期且坦诚的交流。根据句意可知，空处应为形容词regular“定期的，经常的”作定语，修饰名词communication。故填regular。 47.

(根据句意填空) 【答案】Of equal importance are 【解析】 【详解】考查固定短语和倒装句。句意：同样重要的是要有良好的学习习惯、有用的技能和积极的态度。根据句意及下文“good study habits, useful skills and a positive attitude”可知，此处表达“同样重要的是”，“of+名词”结构可表性质，相当于形容词，表示“同等重要的”用of equal importance作表语，句子描述一般性事实，时态为一般现在时，主语为空后三个并列名词短语，系动词用are，句子正常语序为Good study habits, useful skills and a positive attitude are of equal importance，句子将表语部分提前构成倒装结构，即“表语 + be动词 + 主语”，句首单词首字母大写。故填Of equal importance are。 第四部分 写作(共两节，满分40分) 第一节 (满分15分) 51. 假定你是李华，你的美国笔友 Sarah来信提到，她因学习与娱乐时间的安排问题常与父母产生分歧，导致家庭关系紧张，她深感苦恼。请你根据以下要点给她写一封回信： 1.表达对她处境的理解； 2.提出解决矛盾的建议； 3.给予鼓励。 注意： 1.写作词数应为80个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Dear Sarah, _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours, Li Hua 【答案】参考范文 Dear Sarah, Sorry to hear that you’re having trouble getting along with your parents lately.

Since Ella’s father left them ten years ago, she had worked hard alone, sewing clothes for others to make a living. Their small home was often silent, filled with the unspoken words that hang between two people who love each other but don’t know how to say it. The only thing that never changed was the neatly mended (修补) school uniform on Ella’s bed each night, and her mother’s soft words, “Don’t stay up too late.” One Sunday, while looking for an extra blanket in the attic (阁楼), Ella found an old wooden box. Driven by curiosity, she found the key hidden beneath it and managed to open it. Inside, she saw a beautiful white ballet dress and a pair of special ballet shoes. Under them was an old ticket for a dance show called Swan Lake, and a photo of her young mother, poised gracefully at the barre (扶手杠) in a dance studio, her face full of a joy and passion Ella had never seen before. That evening, as they ate their dinner in silence, Ella found the courage to speak. “Mom,” she said carefully, “I found a box in the attic today... with a ballet dress.” Her mother stopped eating. She looked down at her own work-worn hands. “That was a long time ago,” she murmured. After a pause, she added, “I had to stop when the dance school became too expensive.” The deep regret in her voice made Ella’ s heart hurt. The next day, Ella went online and found “Madame Rosalie’s Dance Studio” — a small but well-known place not far from her home. Madame Rosalie, a kind-eyed lady, listened to Ella’ s story. She then made an offer. “You can help me with the young children and look after the dance clothes after school for a month,” she said. “In return, I’ ll give you a voucher (凭证) for the dance lessons.” 注意： 1.续写词数应为150个左右; 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 For the next month, Ella was busy with school, homework, and the dance studio. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ On her mother’s birthday, Ella woke up very early to get her surprise ready. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】参考范文 For the next month, Ella was busy with school, homework, and the dance studio. Every day after school, she would rush to the studio, helping the little children learn their steps and carefully fixing the beautiful dance dresses. Her fingers often hurt from all the sewing, and she was always tired. But through it all, she held onto one clear hope: to see that old passion return to her mother’s eyes, and to see her stand straight and happy again. On the last day, Madame Rosalie gave her the voucher for the lessons.“You’ ve earned this,” she said kindly. Ella’s hands shook as she held it, her eyes filled with thankful tears. On her mother’s birthday, Ella woke up very early to get her surprise ready. She brought her mother to the quiet, empty dance studio. When her mother walked in and saw the lesson voucher placed on the barre,her eyes widening in surprise. Then, her work-worn fingers reached out and softly touched the smooth wood of the barre, as if touching a beautiful dream from long ago.“Happy Birthday, Mom. It’s your time to dance again,” Ella whispered. Tears filled her mother’s eyes as she held Ella close.“Thank you for remembering my dream,” she said, her voice full of emotion. As her mother rose into a dancer’s pose, Ella saw not just the girl from the photo, but a woman renewed. The silence between them was finally filled with a shared understanding. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，文章讲述埃拉的母亲多年来独自辛劳养家，母女间虽有爱却少言语。埃拉在阁楼发现母亲早年的芭蕾舞裙、舞鞋等物品，得知母亲因费用放弃舞蹈的遗憾。她随后联系舞蹈工作室，以帮忙换取舞蹈课凭证，想帮母亲圆梦。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“接下来的一个月，埃拉忙于学业、作业和舞蹈工作室的工作。”可以预测续写这段主要内容：埃拉一个月来兼顾学业与舞蹈工作室的工作，辛苦却满怀希望，最终成功赢得舞蹈课凭证。 ②由第二段首句内容“母亲生日那天，埃拉早早起床准备惊喜。”可以预测续写这段主要内容：埃拉在母亲生日时送上舞蹈课凭证，母亲重拾梦想与往日光彩，母女间的沉默被理解取代。 2.续写线索：兼顾学业与舞蹈——赢得舞蹈课凭证——给母亲惊喜——母亲重拾梦想——母女间的理解 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①.帮助：help/aid/assist ②.修理：fix/mend/repair ③.颤抖：shake/tremble 情绪类 ①.高兴的：happy/glad/delighted ②.惊讶：surprise/amazement/astonishment 【点睛】[高分句型1].
