A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了关于“梵高：鲁林家族肖像画”展览的相关信息，包括展览内容、时间、门票等。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“This exhibition showcases about twenty of them, demonstrating his distinctively forward-thinking approach to portraiture.(本次展览展出约二十幅相关作品，展现了他在肖像画领域极具前瞻性的创作手法)”可知，这次展览展示了梵高画的鲁林一家的约二十幅肖像，展示了他独特的前瞻性肖像画技巧。故选D项。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Ticket Information中的“Adults $34.00 || Youths 7–17 $17.00 || Youths 0–6 Free”可知，一对夫妇（2 位成人）需支付34×2=68美元，两个孩子中14岁（青少年）需支付17美元，4岁（免费）无需付费，总计68+17=85 美元。故选B项。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据Ticket Information中的“Entry times are 30 minutes; visitors must enter the exhibition within that 30-minute window.(入场时间为 30 分钟；参观者必须在该 30 分钟时间段内进入展览)”可知，参观者需在指定的入场时间段内进入。故选A项。 B From cottages surrounded by impressive gardens to days spent exploring sandy beaches and deep woods filled with wildlife, in My Family and Other Animals, English writer Gerald Durrell provided a vivid account of his family’s time on the Greek island of Corfu in the 1930s. Come for the arresting descriptions of Corfu landscapes and stay for Durrell’s laugh-out-loud tales of his unusual family. This book, Durrell wrote humorously in the introduction, “was intended to be a nostalgic(怀旧的)account of natural history, but in the first few pages, I made the mistake of introducing my family.” Durrell, later known for his zoo keeping and the preservation of wildlife, was just a child during his family’s five-year stay in Corfu. He is 10-year-old Gerry in the book—curious, passionate about animals and a detailed storyteller of his strange family: his imaginative elder brother Larry with his literary ambitions, lovestruck sister Margo, sporty brother Leslie and his ever-calm, loving mother. Durrell’s attention to detail is what makes the book so winning, with every sight, sound and smell of the island brought to life. One minute you’ll be laughing as Larry’s clever literary friends walk down to the daffodil-yellow cottage, the next you’ll be catching your breath as Durrell describes swimming at night in the Ionian Sea: “Lying on my back in the silky water, staring at the sky, only moving my hands and feet slightly, I was looking at the Milky Way stretching like a silk scarf across the sky and wondering how many stars it contained.” My Family and Other Animals is quite difficult to classify, being one part travel, one part autobiography, one part natural history, and one part comedy, with a thread of descriptive language running throughout that sometimes raises it nearly to poetry. As a real delight to read, it’s the perfect literary escapism for any adult or older teenager who is currently walking down a tough road in life. 4. Which word best describes Durrell’s life in Corfu? A. Diverse. B. Busy. C. Risky. D. Tough. 5. What does the underlined sentence mean in paragraph 2? A. I just introduced my family by mistake. B. I shouldn’t have introduced my family. C. I gave false information about my family. D. I couldn’t help introducing my family. 6. What are paragraph 4 and 5 mainly about? A. Durrell’s rich imagination. B. Some interesting plots of the book. C. The book’s writing feature. D. Some vivid descriptions of the island. 7. What is the purpose of this text? A. To share an experience. B. To introduce a writing style. C. To recommend a book. D. To describe an unusual place. 【答案】4. A 5. D 6. C 7. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章推荐了英国作家Gerald Durrell的一本书——《我的家人和其他动物》。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“From cottages surrounded by impressive gardens to days spent exploring sandy beaches and deep woods filled with wildlife, in My Family and Other Animals, English writer Gerald Durrell provided a vivid account of his family’s time on the Greek island of Corfu in the 1930s. (从被令人印象深刻的花园包围的小屋，到探索沙滩和充满野生动物的深林的日子，在《我的家人和其他动物》一书中，英国作家Gerald Durrell生动地描述了20世纪30年代他的家人在希腊科孚岛的时光。)”可知，Durrell在科孚岛的生活是多样的。故选A项。 【5题详解】 词句猜测题。根据语境和划线句前文“was intended to be a nostalgic(怀旧的)account of natural history, but in the first few pages,(本想成为一本关于自然史的怀旧书，)”和第一段提到的“English writer Gerald Durrell provided a vivid account of his family’s time on the Greek island of Corfu in the 1930s.(英国作家杰拉尔德•德雷尔（Gerald Durrell）生动地描述了上世纪30年代他一家在希腊科孚岛的生活。)”这本书生动地描述了作者一家人在科孚岛的生活可知，作者原本想写一本关于自然史的怀旧书，但是结果却写成了描述家人在科孚岛的生活一本书，由此可推知，划线词句“but in the first few pages, I made the mistake of introducing my family. (但在前几页，我错误地介绍了我的家人。)”指的是作者“我情不自禁地介绍了自己的家人”。故选D项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“Durrell’s attention to detail is what makes the book so winning, with every sight, sound and smell of the island brought to life. (Durrell对细节的关注使这本书如此引人入胜，岛上的每一个景象、声音和气味都栩栩如生。)”和第五段“My Family and Other Animals is quite difficult to classify, being one part travel, one part autobiography, one part natural history, and one part comedy, with a thread of descriptive language running throughout that sometimes raises it nearly to poetry. (《我的家庭和其他动物》很难归类，一部分是游记，一部分是自传，一部分是自然历史，一部分是喜剧，一种描述性的语言贯穿始终，有时几乎把它提升到诗歌的境界。)”可知，这两段主要介绍了这本书的写作特点。故选C项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，根据最后一段“As a real delight to read, it’s the perfect literary escapism for any adult or older teenager who is currently walking down a tough road in life. (作为一种真正的阅读乐趣，对于任何目前正走在艰难人生道路上的成年人或年龄较大的青少年来说，这是一种完美的文学逃避。)”可知，这篇文章的目的是为了推荐这本《我的家庭和其他动物》。故选C项。 C If you’ve never heard of a biophilic city (亲自然城市) before, you probably will soon — there’s a growing movement emerging globally. A biophilic city is a city where the planning and design largely integrate the natural world into the daily lives of residents. It’s based on the idea that humans have a deep love for nature and desire to connect with nature. “We describe the vision of biophilic cities as immersive (沉浸式的) nature — nature is not just something to be found in a park here and there that you have to walk to, but rather we need to reimagine the city as a park, or as a forest,” says Tim Beatley, a professor of sustainable communities. “There is a renewed (更新的) appreciation for how essential nature is in cities and how it can help to make them more beautiful places,” Beatley says. “We know, for instance, that cities face great pressures from climate change — a key response must be nature and nature-based solutions, such as cooling cities with trees and urban forests.” Beatley’s colleague, Peter Newman, a professor of sustainability, says he has devoted nearly 50 years to activism, research and teaching how to make cities more sustainable. He made a film with Beatley, called “Singapore: Biophilic City”. Singapore is seen as an exceptional biophilic city. “In our film we show how biophilic values began with the first Prime Minister of Singapore saying that the environment in the city was as important as the economy,” says Newman, who got the idea of making the film after he spent some time in Singapore teaching a course. “Singapore is one of the best examples in showing that you can accommodate city development and population growth and also actually protect nature as well,” says Newman. Greenery is woven throughout the city, not only in many parks, but integrated even into the design of tall buildings. “Singapore has now officially changed its motto from ‘Singapore, Garden City’ to ‘Singapore, a City in a Garden’,” says Beatley. 8. What does the author intend to do in Paragraph 2? A. To explain a concept. B. To put forward an idea. C. To provide an example. D. To introduce a general rule. 9. What can we infer from Beatley’s words in Paragraph 3? A. Parks in cities need to be renewed. B. Biophilic cities face many problems. C. It is difficult to imagine a city as a park. D. Nature should be a key factor in city planning. 10. What does Newman’s film mainly focus on? A. The unforgettable experience in Singapore. B. The rise of tall green buildings in Singapore. C. Why Singapore chooses to be a biophilic city. D. How Singapore balances the economy and the environment. 11. What might be the best title for the text? A. Singapore: a garden city B. Turning cities into gardens C. The future of biophilic cities D. Nature: a solution to climate change 【答案】8. A 9. D 10. D 11. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了亲自然城市的理念，并以新加坡为例证明了城市发展和环境保护可以共生。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“A biophilic city is a city where the planning and design largely integrate the natural world into the daily lives of residents. It’s based on the idea that humans have a deep love for nature and desire to connect with nature.”（亲生态城市是指城市的规划和设计在很大程度上将自然世界融入到居民的日常生活中。它基于人类对自然的热爱和与自然联系的渴望。）可推知，在第二段中作者打算解释一个概念。故选A项。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中““We describe the vision of biophilic cities as immersive (沉浸式的) nature — nature is not just something to be found in a park here and there that you have to walk to, but rather we need to reimagine the city as a park, or as a forest,” says Tim Beatley, a professor of sustainable communities. “There is a renewed (更新的) appreciation for how essential nature is in cities and how it can help to make them more beautiful places,” Beatley says.”（ 可持续发展社区教授蒂姆·比特利说：“我们把亲生物城市的愿景描述为沉浸式的自然——自然不仅仅是你必须步行去的某个公园里的东西，而是我们需要把城市重新想象成一个公园，或者一个森林。”比特利说：“人们重新认识到自然在城市中的重要性，以及它如何帮助城市变得更美丽。”）可知，从第三段比特利的话中我们可以推断出自然应该是城市规划的一个关键因素。故选D项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“In our film we show how biophilic values began with the first Prime Minister of Singapore saying that the environment in the city was as important as the economy”（在我们的电影中，我们展示了亲生态价值观是如何开始的，新加坡的第一任总理说，城市的环境和经济一样重要）可知，纽曼的电影主要关注的是新加坡如何平衡经济和环境。故选D项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章大意以及最后一段““Singapore has now officially changed its motto from ‘Singapore, Garden City’ to ‘Singapore, a City in a Garden’,” says Beatley.”（比特利说：“新加坡现在已正式将其座右铭从‘花园城市新加坡’改为‘花园中的城市新加坡’。”）可知，本文主要介绍了亲自然城市的理念：在城市规划和设计中，最大程度上把自然融入到居民的日常生活中。故文章最好的标题是“把城市变成花园”。故选B项。 D “You’re so smart!” This encouraging response to children’s math performance is commonly heard. Recently, a new study, conducted by the University of Georgia, found that encouraging children with responses related to their personal characteristics or inborn abilities might weaken their math motivation and achievement over time. Parents who make comments linking their children’s performance to personal characteristics like intelligence are using what’s referred to as person responses. In contrast, parents who link their children’s actions, such as efforts or strategy use, to their performance are using process responses. For the study, researchers asked more than 500 parents to report on how they responded to their children’s math performance and their math beliefs and goals. Children were assessed in two waves across a year to measure their math motivation and achievement. The results show that parents who view math ability as changeable are more likely to give process responses focused on their children’s strategy use and efforts rather than their intelligence or other personal characteristics. In contrast, parents who believe math ability is unchangeable and that math failure can’t be constructive give more person responses. Parents with high expectations for their children give a combination of both responses. While responses highlighting strategy and efforts are not related to any achievement outcomes, children who receive more responses about their personal characteristics -- in particular, related to failure -- are more likely to avoid harder math problems, exhibit higher levels of math anxiety, and score lower on math achievement tests. Because person responses predict poor math adjustment in children over time, researchers suggest parents limit this type of responses at home. Another recommendation for parents is to think about their own beliefs and goals for their kids and examine how these might lead them to respond in person or process ways. Simply telling parents to avoid talking about math ability may not be enough. Focusing less on how children perform and more on their strategy and enjoyment of math might be a more effective way to enhance motivation. 12. Which of the following is an example of process response? A. You are a lucky dog. B. Running is in your blood. C. What works well for your study? D. Why are you such a math genius? 13. What can be inferred from the study results? A. Parents prefer to give more process responses. B. Children are more likely to be affected by math anxiety. C. Process responses help with children’s math achievement. D. Person responses can discourage children from learning math. 14. What do researchers advise parents to do? A. Restrict person responses. B. Defend their own beliefs. C. Stress children’s performance. D. Ignore children’s math problems. 15. Which can be a suitable title for the text? A. The Strategy Children Adopt to Learn Math Helps B. The Way Parents Talk to Children on Math Matters C. Responses to Enhance Children’s Math Performance D. Suggestions for Parents to Teach Their Children Math 【答案】12. C 13. D 14. A 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲的是父母对孩子的数学学习做出不同的反应，会对孩子产生不同的作用；用与个人特征或天生能力相关的反应来鼓励孩子，可能会削弱他们的数学动机和成绩。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“In contrast, parents who link their children’s actions, such as efforts or strategy use, to their performance are using process responses.(相比之下，将孩子的行为（如努力或策略的使用）与他们的表现联系起来的父母正在使用过程反应。)”可知，将孩子的行为与他们的表现联系起来的父母使用的是过程反应，分析四个选项，C项“What works well for your study?(什么对你的学习有效？)”将孩子的行为与表现联系起来，符合语境，属于“过程反应”，故选C。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“While responses highlighting strategy and efforts are not related to any achievement outcomes, children who receive more responses about their personal characteristics -- in particular, related to failure -- are more likely to avoid harder math problems, exhibit higher levels of math anxiety, and score lower on math achievement tests.(虽然强调策略和努力的回答与任何成绩结果无关，但收到更多关于个人特征（特别是与失败有关的）回答的孩子更有可能避免更难的数学问题，表现出更高的数学焦虑水平，在数学成绩测试中得分更低。)”可推理出，个人反应会阻碍孩子学习数学，故选D。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Because person responses predict poor math adjustment in children over time, researchers suggest parents limit this type of responses at home.(因为个人反应预示着孩子随着时间的推移会有较差的数学适应能力，研究人员建议父母在家里限制这种反应。)”可知，专家建议父母限制个人反应，故选A。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读整篇文章，尤其是第一段中“Recently, a new study, conducted by the University of Georgia, found that encouraging children with responses related to their personal characteristics or inborn abilities might weaken their math motivation and achievement over time.(最近，乔治亚大学进行的一项新研究发现，随着时间的推移，鼓励孩子用与他们的个人特征或天生能力相关的回答可能会削弱他们的数学动机和成就。)”可知，文章主要内容是说父母对孩子的数学学习做出不同的反应，会对孩子产生不同的作用；用与个人特征或天生能力相关的反应来鼓励孩子，可能会削弱他们的数学动机和成绩。所以B项“The Way Parents Talk to Children on Math Matters(父母与孩子谈论数学问题的方式)”可作为最恰当的题目，故选B。 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Resistance training, also known as strength training, uses weights or resistance to strengthen or increase one’s muscles. While many people associate such resistance with lifting free weights like dumbbells (哑铃) or using machine-based exercises such as chest or leg presses, other forms of resistance also qualify. ___16___ There are various benefits of resistance training. Research shows that adding 30 minutes of strength training to your workout routine each week could add years to your life. ___17___ Strength training has also been shown to strengthen joints and bones affected by medical conditions, and help with weight management goals since lifting weights improves metabolism (新陈代谢). ___18___ Monica Ciolino, a doctor of physical therapy at Washington University Physicians, says it’s also been linked to protection against degeneration of parts of the hippocampus (海马体) — a grain structure important in learning and memory. “Additionally, strength training may be associated with lower rates of depression and anxiety,” says Ciolino. Given so many advantages, why not try strength training? ___19___ DJ McDonough, a researcher at the University of Minnesota School of Public Health, says it’s best to choose the type of resistance training that appeals most to you: weights, or resistance bands, and then learn a few simple techniques. For instance, you can lift weights at your local gym, or you can buy several dumbbells or kettlebells to lift at home. ___20___ “When you are using weights, a good rule of thumb is that your muscles should be tired at the end of a set,” says McDonough, though he stresses the importance of not lifting too much, too soon. “So, start with lighter loads and increase weight and repetitions over time.” A. How can we get started? B. What benefits can we get from strength training? C. Once you get going, you may want to branch out and add a barbell. D. This is partly because it can significantly improve your heart health. E. Moreover strength training can improve mental health in several ways. F. You’d better do strength training with the help of a professional trainer regularly. G. Body weight exercises like push-ups or sit-ups are other examples of resistance training. 【答案】16. G 17. D 18. E 19. A 20. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了抗阻训练（也叫力量训练），包括其多种形式，阐述了它在延长寿命、强化关节和骨骼、助力体重管理、改善心理健康等方面的诸多益处，最后还就如何开始进行力量训练给出了一些建议，鼓励人们尝试力量训练。 【16题详解】 根据上文“While many people associate such resistance with lifting free weights like dumbbells (哑铃) or using machine-based exercises such as chest or leg presses, other forms of resistance also qualify. (虽然很多人将这种阻力与举起哑铃等自由重量或进行像胸部或腿部推举这样的器械训练联系在一起，但其他形式的阻力也符合条件)”可知，下文应列举其他形式的阻力训练，与G项“Body weight exercises like push-ups or sit-ups are other examples of resistance training. (俯卧撑或仰卧起坐等体重练习是阻力训练的其他例子)”上下文一致，符合文意，other forms of resistance与other examples of resistance前后呼应，故选G项。 【17题详解】 根据上文“There are various benefits of resistance training. Research shows that adding 30 minutes of strength training to your workout routine each week could add years to your life. (阻力训练有很多好处。研究表明，每周在日常锻炼中增加30分钟的力量训练可以延长你的寿命)”可知，后文应解释为什么力量训练能延长寿命，与D项“This is partly because it can significantly improve your heart health. (这部分是因为它可以显着改善你的心脏健康)”上下文一致，符合文意，故选D项。 【18题详解】 根据下文“Monica Ciolino, a doctor of physical therapy at Washington University Physicians, says it’s also been linked to protection against degeneration of parts of the hippocampus (海马体) — a grain structure important in learning and memory. “Additionally, strength training may be associated with lower rates of depression and anxiety,” says Ciolino. (华盛顿大学医学院的物理治疗医生莫妮卡·西奥利诺表示，它也与保护海马体的部分区域免于退化有关——海马体是在学习和记忆中起重要作用的颗粒结构。“此外，力量训练可能与较低的抑郁和焦虑发生率有关。”西奥利诺说)”可知，本段主要讲述力量训练对心理健康的好处，与E项“Moreover, strength training can improve mental health in several ways. (此外，力量训练可以通过多种方式改善心理健康)”上下文一致，符合文意，故选E项。 【19题详解】 根据下文“DJ McDonough, a researcher at the University of Minnesota School of Public Health, says it’s best to choose the type of resistance training that appeals most to you: weights, or resistance bands, and then learn a few simple techniques. (明尼苏达大学公共卫生学院的研究员DJ McDonough表示，最好选择最吸引你的阻力训练类型：举重器械或阻力带，然后学习一些简单的技巧)”可知，前文应是询问如何开始力量训练，与A项“How can we get started? (我们如何开始？)”上下文一致，符合文意，故选A项。 【20题详解】 根据上文“For instance, you can lift weights at your local gym, or you can buy several dumbbells or kettlebells to lift at home. (例如，你可以在当地的健身房举重，或者你可以买几个哑铃或壶铃在家里举)”可知，后文应提到进一步的训练方式，与C项“Once you get going, you may want to branch out and add a barbell. (一旦你开始了，你可能想扩展并添加一个杠铃)”上下文一致，符合文意，故选C项。 第三部分：英语知识运用(共两节，满分45分) 第一节: 完形填空(共20小题，每小题1.5分，满分30分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳。 Einstein was not only the outstanding scientist of the 20th century, but also a gifted and enthusiastic(满腔热忱的) musician.

As a girl of shy and reserved nature, I had to take a fresh start to fit into the sophisticated city life. One sunny day, my school announced an exciting event, a talent show for the local food bank. Students were encouraged to showcase their unique talents in front of the public in the city hall on National Day. A buzz of excitement fed the school as everyone began preparing for the big day. Deep down, I felt a spark of curiosity and a desire to participate. However, my self-doubt held me back, “I don’t have any special skills to share.” Days turned into weeks, and the talent show drew closer. I couldn’t shake the upsetting feeling until one day, Emma, one of the most popular girls in my class, came to me while I was helping in the grocery store after class. “How about singing together in the talent show?” She grinned, “I heard you singing a tune, along the way back home. I can’t help following you here.” Gosh, I couldn’t believe my ears. Emma, with personality and popularity, acknowledged my little talent. Since Emma had the world’s prettiest voice, I felt like being favoured by fortune. “You two? The talent show for the food bank?” My mum bent towards us and her face lit up. “A big occasion.” Then a light bulb seemed to go in her head. “Why not practise right now upstairs? I bet you’ll be a perfect match.” Winking at us, she seemed to know we were thinking alike. Emma and I embarked on rehearsing almost every single day after school. We brainstormed, exchanged ideas and rehearsed the scene. As the days rolled by, I was feeling pretty good about our act. But the day before the performance, Emma called that she had an acute stomachache and was not in any shape to perform. 注意： 1.所续写短文的词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: I was completely knocked out by the news. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Finally came the big moment. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】I was completely knocked out by the news. What should I do? Having prepared for such a long time, I didn’t think of that coming up. Feeling at a loss, I was brainstorming as hard as I could to think of a solution, when a gentle touch on my back brought me back to reality. It was my mum, who looked at me with care and concern. “You have prepared for it enough. You can do it by yourself.” She said after my stumbled explanation. I looked back at her eyes, and a sense of confidence and warmness swelled up in my heart. Yes, I could do it myself. Finally came the big moment. Looking around the audience, I stepped onto the stage, with butterflies in my stomach. My voice trembled at first, but with the melodies flew around, the nervousness was gone with the wind. Emotions filled in my song, I performed as naturally as I spoke every day. I saw my mum, who was looking at me with reassurance and care. It turned out to be a good performance, which helped me conquer my fears and turned me into a new person. 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇读后续写。文章讲述了作者自小性格内向，不爱交际。偶然一次机会，学校组织学生参加才艺表演，同学Emma盛情邀请作者一同参加，这使得作者备受鼓舞。然而在演出前夕，Emma却因急性胃疼不能上台，面对紧急情况，作者只能自己独立完成表演。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①根据第一段首句“我被这个消息所震惊了。”可知，作者在收到Emma不能参演的消息时一时手足无措，再根据第四段妈妈的表现可知，此时妈妈一定会及时出现，安慰作者并给作者勇气，让作者能独立完成表演。 ②根据第二段首句“重大时刻终于到来了。”可知，作者坚持独立上台表演了。可想而知作者刚登上舞台还是会紧张，但是作者天生有副好嗓子，随着表演深入，这种紧张感会消失，并且精彩的完成表演。 2. 续写线索：手足无措——妈妈安慰并打气——决定独立上台——克服紧张，表演完成——升华 3. 词汇激活 行类 ① 表演：perform/make a performance/show one’s talents ② 做准备：prepare for/make preparations for ③ 参加：participate in/join in/take part in/be involved in ④ 笑：grin/smile/laugh/giggle/chuckle 情绪类 ① 害羞内向的：shy/reserved/introverted ② 好奇的：curious/be full of curiosity ③ 开心的：delighted/overjoyed/content ④ 担忧的：concerned/worried/butterflies in one’s stomach 【点睛】[高分句型1] Having prepared for such a long time, I didn’t think of that coming up.（运用了现在分词作时间状语） [高分句型2] Emotions filled in my song, I performed as naturally as I spoke every day.（运用了独立主格结构） [高分句型3] I saw my mum, who was looking at me with reassurance and care.（运用了who引导的定语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2025-2026学年高二年级上学期考试 英语试卷 满分150分 时间120分钟 第I卷(共95分) 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，并标在试卷的相应位置。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?

This exhibition showcases about twenty of them, demonstrating his distinctively forward-thinking approach to portraiture. Van Gogh: The Roulin Family Portraits also reveals the significance of Van Gogh’s close friendship with Joseph Roulin amidst his arrival in a new town and struggles with mental health. The Roulin portraits appear alongside other works — including Japanese prints and Paul Gauguin paintings — that helped shape Van Gogh’s work during this period.

B From cottages surrounded by impressive gardens to days spent exploring sandy beaches and deep woods filled with wildlife, in My Family and Other Animals, English writer Gerald Durrell provided a vivid account of his family’s time on the Greek island of Corfu in the 1930s. Come for the arresting descriptions of Corfu landscapes and stay for Durrell’s laugh-out-loud tales of his unusual family. This book, Durrell wrote humorously in the introduction, “was intended to be a nostalgic(怀旧的)account of natural history, but in the first few pages, I made the mistake of introducing my family.” Durrell, later known for his zoo keeping and the preservation of wildlife, was just a child during his family’s five-year stay in Corfu. He is 10-year-old Gerry in the book—curious, passionate about animals and a detailed storyteller of his strange family: his imaginative elder brother Larry with his literary ambitions, lovestruck sister Margo, sporty brother Leslie and his ever-calm, loving mother. Durrell’s attention to detail is what makes the book so winning, with every sight, sound and smell of the island brought to life. One minute you’ll be laughing as Larry’s clever literary friends walk down to the daffodil-yellow cottage, the next you’ll be catching your breath as Durrell describes swimming at night in the Ionian Sea: “Lying on my back in the silky water, staring at the sky, only moving my hands and feet slightly, I was looking at the Milky Way stretching like a silk scarf across the sky and wondering how many stars it contained.” My Family and Other Animals is quite difficult to classify, being one part travel, one part autobiography, one part natural history, and one part comedy, with a thread of descriptive language running throughout that sometimes raises it nearly to poetry. As a real delight to read, it’s the perfect literary escapism for any adult or older teenager who is currently walking down a tough road in life. 4 Which word best describes Durrell’s life in Corfu? A. Diverse. B. Busy. C. Risky. D. Tough. 5. What does the underlined sentence mean in paragraph 2? A. I just introduced my family by mistake. B. I shouldn’t have introduced my family. C. I gave false information about my family. D. I couldn’t help introducing my family. 6. What are paragraph 4 and 5 mainly about? A. Durrell’s rich imagination. B. Some interesting plots of the book. C. The book’s writing feature. D. Some vivid descriptions of the island. 7. What is the purpose of this text? A. To share an experience. B. To introduce a writing style. C. To recommend a book. D. To describe an unusual place. C If you’ve never heard of a biophilic city (亲自然城市) before, you probably will soon — there’s a growing movement emerging globally. A biophilic city is a city where the planning and design largely integrate the natural world into the daily lives of residents. It’s based on the idea that humans have a deep love for nature and desire to connect with nature. “We describe the vision of biophilic cities as immersive (沉浸式的) nature — nature is not just something to be found in a park here and there that you have to walk to, but rather we need to reimagine the city as a park, or as a forest,” says Tim Beatley, a professor of sustainable communities. “There is a renewed (更新的) appreciation for how essential nature is in cities and how it can help to make them more beautiful places,” Beatley says. “We know, for instance, that cities face great pressures from climate change — a key response must be nature and nature-based solutions, such as cooling cities with trees and urban forests.” Beatley’s colleague Peter Newman, a professor of sustainability, says he has devoted nearly 50 years to activism, research and teaching how to make cities more sustainable. He made a film with Beatley, called “Singapore: Biophilic City”. Singapore is seen as an exceptional biophilic city. “In our film we show how biophilic values began with the first Prime Minister of Singapore saying that the environment in the city was as important as the economy,” says Newman, who got the idea of making the film after he spent some time in Singapore teaching a course. “Singapore is one of the best examples in showing that you can accommodate city development and population growth and also actually protect nature as well,” says Newman. Greenery is woven throughout the city, not only in many parks, but integrated even into the design of tall buildings. “Singapore has now officially changed its motto from ‘Singapore, Garden City’ to ‘Singapore, a City in a Garden’,” says Beatley. 8. What does the author intend to do in Paragraph 2? A. To explain a concept. B. To put forward an idea. C. To provide an example. D. To introduce a general rule. 9. What can we infer from Beatley’s words in Paragraph 3? A. Parks in cities need to be renewed. B. Biophilic cities face many problems. C. It is difficult to imagine a city as a park. D. Nature should be a key factor in city planning. 10. What does Newman’s film mainly focus on? A. The unforgettable experience in Singapore. B The rise of tall green buildings in Singapore. C. Why Singapore chooses to be a biophilic city. D. How Singapore balances the economy and the environment. 11. What might be the best title for the text? A. Singapore: a garden city B. Turning cities into gardens C. The future of biophilic cities D. Nature: a solution to climate change D “You’re so smart!” This encouraging response to children’s math performance is commonly heard. Recently, a new study, conducted by the University of Georgia, found that encouraging children with responses related to their personal characteristics or inborn abilities might weaken their math motivation and achievement over time. Parents who make comments linking their children’s performance to personal characteristics like intelligence are using what’s referred to as person responses. In contrast, parents who link their children’s actions, such as efforts or strategy use, to their performance are using process responses. For the study, researchers asked more than 500 parents to report on how they responded to their children’s math performance and their math beliefs and goals. Children were assessed in two waves across a year to measure their math motivation and achievement. The results show that parents who view math ability as changeable are more likely to give process responses focused on their children’s strategy use and efforts rather than their intelligence or other personal characteristics. In contrast, parents who believe math ability is unchangeable and that math failure can’t be constructive give more person responses. Parents with high expectations for their children give a combination of both responses. While responses highlighting strategy and efforts are not related to any achievement outcomes, children who receive more responses about their personal characteristics -- in particular, related to failure -- are more likely to avoid harder math problems, exhibit higher levels of math anxiety, and score lower on math achievement tests. Because person responses predict poor math adjustment in children over time, researchers suggest parents limit this type of responses at home.

While many people associate such resistance with lifting free weights like dumbbells (哑铃) or using machine-based exercises such as chest or leg presses, other forms of resistance also qualify. ___16___ There are various benefits of resistance training. Research shows that adding 30 minutes of strength training to your workout routine each week could add years to your life. ___17___ Strength training has also been shown to strengthen joints and bones affected by medical conditions, and help with weight management goals since lifting weights improves metabolism (新陈代谢). ___18___ Monica Ciolino, a doctor of physical therapy at Washington University Physicians, says it’s also been linked to protection against degeneration of parts of the hippocampus (海马体) — a grain structure important in learning and memory. “Additionally, strength training may be associated with lower rates of depression and anxiety,” says Ciolino. Given so many advantages, why not try strength training? ___19___ DJ McDonough, a researcher at the University of Minnesota School of Public Health, says it’s best to choose the type of resistance training that appeals most to you: weights, or resistance bands, and then learn a few simple techniques. For instance, you can lift weights at your local gym, or you can buy several dumbbells or kettlebells to lift at home. ___20___ “When you are using weights, a good rule of thumb is that your muscles should be tired at the end of a set,” says McDonough, though he stresses the importance of not lifting too much, too soon. “So, start with lighter loads and increase weight and repetitions over time.” A.

As a girl of shy and reserved nature, I had to take a fresh start to fit into the sophisticated city life. One sunny day, my school announced an exciting event, a talent show for the local food bank. Students were encouraged to showcase their unique talents in front of the public in the city hall on National Day. A buzz of excitement fed the school as everyone began preparing for the big day. Deep down, I felt a spark of curiosity and a desire to participate. However, my self-doubt held me back, “I don’t have any special skills to share.” Days turned into weeks, and the talent show drew closer. I couldn’t shake the upsetting feeling until one day, Emma, one of the most popular girls in my class, came to me while I was helping in the grocery store after class. “How about singing together in the talent show?” She grinned, “I heard you singing a tune, along the way back home. I can’t help following you here.” Gosh, I couldn’t believe my ears. Emma, with personality and popularity, acknowledged my little talent. Since Emma had the world’s prettiest voice, I felt like being favoured by fortune. “You two? The talent show for the food bank?” My mum bent towards us and her face lit up. “A big occasion.” Then a light bulb seemed to go in her head. “Why not practise right now upstairs? I bet you’ll be a perfect match.” Winking at us, she seemed to know we were thinking alike. Emma and I embarked on rehearsing almost every single day after school. We brainstormed, exchanged ideas and rehearsed the scene. As the days rolled by, I was feeling pretty good about our act. But the day before the performance, Emma called that she had an acute stomachache and was not in any shape to perform. 注意： 1.所续写短文的词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: I was completely knocked out by the news. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Finally came the big moment. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
