Crowne Plaza B Home to me means a sense of familiarity and nostalgia(怀旧). It's fun to come home. It looks the same. It smells the same. You'll realize what's changed is you. Home is where we ran remember pain, live, and some other experiences; We parted here; My parents met here; I won three championships here. If I close my eyes, I can still have a clear picture in mind of my first home. I walk in the door and see a brown sofa surrounding a low glass-top wooden table. To the right of the living room is my first bedroom. It's empty, but it's where my earliest memories are. There is the dining room table where I celebrated birthdays, and where I cried on Halloween-when I didn't want to wear the skirt my mother made for me. I always liked standing on that table because it made me feel tall and strong. If I sit at this table, I can see my favorite room in the house, my parents' room. It is simple: a brown wooden dresser lines the right side of the wall next to a television and a couple of photos of my grandparents on each side. Their bed is my safe zone. I can jump on it anytime - waking up my parents if I am scared or if I have an important announcement that cannot wait until the morning. I'm lucky because I know my first home still exists. It exists in my mind and heart, on a physical property(住宅) on West 64th street on the western edge of Los Angeles. It is proof I lived, I grew and I learned. Sometimes when I feel lost, I lie down and shut my eyes, and I go home. I know it's where I'll find my family, my dogs, and my belongings. I purposely leave the window open at night because I know I'll be blamed by Mom. But I don't mind, because I want to hear her say my name, which reminds me I'm home. 4. Why does the author call her parents' bed her "safe zone"(Paragraph 3)? A. It is her favorite place to play. B. Her needs can be satisfied there. C. Her grandparents' photos are lined on each side. D. Her parents always play together with her there. 5. What can be learned from the passage? A. The old furniture is still in the author's fist bedroom. B. The author can still visit her first physical home in Los Angeles. C. The author's favorite room in her first home is the dining room. D. Many people of the author's age can still find their first physical homes. 6. Sometimes when she feels lost, the author will _______. A. Open the window at night B. lie down in bed to have a dream C. try to bring back a sense of home D. go to Los Angeles to visit her mom 7. What is the author's purpose of writing this passage? A. To express how much she is attached to her home. B. To declare how much she loves her first house. C. To describe the state of her family. D. To look back on her childhood. C Have you ever spent half an hour searching the Internet which, as you find out afterwards, lasted three hours, or opened a book shortly after breakfast and a little while later noticed that the room was getting darker? Most people can remember experiencing such a state. Your mind wasn't wandering; you were totally focused and concentrated on that activity, to such an extent that you were not even aware of yourself. Psychologists call these fully absorbing experiences flow states, which were discovered and named by a world-famous psychologist Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi. His celebrated book Flow: The Psychology of Happiness became an instant best-seller, making its way to the top self-help classics. The state of flow happens under very specific conditions-when we encounter a challenge that is testing for our skills, and yet our skills and capacities are such that it is just about possible to meet this challenge. So both the challenge and the skills are at high levels, stretching us almost to the limit. If challenges exceed skills, one can become anxious. If skills exceed challenges, we usually become bored. Neither of these two cases result in flow. What is also interesting in flow is the almost total absence of emotions during the actual process. One seems to be almost beyond experiencing emotions, most likely because the awareness of self is not present. Mihaly himself is also very much aware of the potential negative impact of the flow. One philosopher once describes his own experience of flow: “When I get totally involved in the conversation, I am not aware of myself, the world around or the passage of time. Sometimes, I may become addictive to that existence, unwilling to cope with other daily routines of life, like forgetting dinner, and saying goodbye to my children.” 8. What is the purpose of Paragraph 1? A. To offer a general background of the topic. B. To make an overall outline for the passage. C. To introduce the topic of the passage. D. To clarify the definition of the topic. 9. In which of the following experience can we enter "flow state"? A. Adopting a dog. B. Watching TV. C. Playing the chess. D. Arguing with others. 10. What can we infer from the third paragraph? A. The state of flow is little conditional. B. Genius at normal schools often gets bored. C. Challenges at high levels push us to the limit. D. Skills play the most important part in flow. 11. Why does the writer quote the philosopher's words? A. To show the drawbacks of the flow. B. To stress the value of self-awareness. C. To underline the absence of emotions. D. To indicate the difficulty of enjoying the flow. D Many of you may have used Siri, a voice assistant of US tech company Apple. You only have to say “hey Siri” and it will answer to your command. However, we may be sacrificing our privacy to enjoy this convenience. According to a recent report by the Guardian, Siri can be accidentally triggered(触发) and start recording private conversations, such as discussions between doctors and patients. Some of these recordings are then given to workers outside the company to review. Apple claimed the data was used to help Siri improve, but users were not informed of this measure in the first place. Apple’s Siri is not the only voice assistant to come under fire. In 2018, Alexa, a voice assistant developed by US tech company Amazon, recorded a private conversation between a couple and sent it to a stranger without their permission. These issues deepened concerns that tech companies are threatening users’ rights of privacy. Many people have long feared that tech companies are listening and collecting data from private conversations, reported Forbes. Using this data, third party companies could then paint an accurate picture of users’ habits and preferences in order to serve them more targeted advertisements, or even worse, sell this private data. Despite this risk, the popularity of voice assistant seems to be unstoppable. According to a report by Ovum, a London-based research firm, there will be almost as many voice assistants on the planet as people by 2021. “In the near future, everything from your lighting to your air-conditioning to your refrigerator, your coffee maker, and even your toilet could be wired to a system controlled by voice,” commented The Atlantic. Colin Horgan wrote on the blog site Medium that he believed people’s daily lives will soon become a source of data. “The sounds of our homes, the symphony of life—laughing, crying, talking, shouting, sitting in silence—will no longer be considered memories, but data,” he wrote. To deal with the issue, Blake Morgan, reporter for The Atlantic, believed that the answer is transparency. “All companies need to have messaging ready to explain to customers what they do with private data,” she wrote on The Atlantic. Daniel Blair, CEO of a virtual reality startup in Canada, told CBC News that people can change settings and limit how often the device is active in your home, and do some research before buying a device. 12. Why are users worried about the use of the voice assistants? A. The tech company didn’t tell the users how they work. B. Their houses will be controlled by voice assistants. C. The assistants will turn their daily lives into data. D. Their private data may be collected and abused. 13. The underlined phrase in paragraph 3 can be replaced by ________. A. be on fire B. be criticized C. be praised D. be out of date 14. What should the companies do to protect the users’ privacy? A. Inform the users of how they deal with the data. B. Remove the assistants from the users’ devices. C. Change the settings and limit the use of the assistants. D. Do some research on whether the users like the assistants. 15. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage? A. Voice assistant: a future fashion B. Voice assistant: a private data defender C. Voice assistant: a potential privacy threat D. Voice assistant: an efficient house-keeper 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能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 When living out our daily lives, we’re often filled with too many choices from different things around us, telling us how we can improve ourselves. ___16___ Too much choice is never ideal We're often told that having more would lead to happiness when, in actual fact, the opposite occurs.

It was almost time to leave. He jumped into the car with his parents and headed off to the Olympic-sized pool for the big swim meet. When his race came up, Mike was confident. He was strong and swift. Mike climbed out the pool, smiling. He had just won first place, making him the fastest boy in his age group. “Congratulations, son,” his father said. His mom gave him a hug, even though he was soaking wet. A week later, it was time for another swim meet. Like before, Mike decided to enjoy his favorite ice cream flavor. Mike remembered that the last time he had won a race, he also ate mint chocolate chip ice cream first. Maybe he’d win again. He’s taken first place again in his race. Mike was feeling pretty good. As it turned out, Mike decided to have some mint chocolate chip ice cream before every one of the next few swim meets. He began to think of it as his lucky charm. After several months of placing in the top positions of every race he swam, Mike was feeling unbeatable. And he wouldn’t admit it, but all that ice cream was adding a few pounds to his athletic swimmer’s build. It didn’t take long after that for Mike to start coming in second place – and then third – and then last place in his races. The lucky mint chocolate chip ice cream had lost its magic. On the day of his next swim meet, his mother sat down at the table with him. “Mike, we all love ice cream, but it’s not healthy for your body to eat so much of it. Maybe it’s time to quit the sweet treats for a while, especially before you go swimming.”” Mike unwillingly agreed. He went to the swim meet, and didn’t perform well. His father offered to go running with him a few days a week to help him feel better and strengthen his muscles. The extra weight soon disappeared, and Mike found himself breathing easier at swim practices. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右。 2.开头已给出。 Paragraph 1: As he dove into the water, he kicked his legs and stretched his arms as far as he could. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: His jaw dropped as he realized he had beaten his own best time, and everyone else too. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 南昌二中2025-2026学年上学期高三英语月考（二） 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。 1.Where does the conversation take place?

I always liked standing on that table because it made me feel tall and strong. If I sit at this table, I can see my favorite room in the house, my parents' room. It is simple: a brown wooden dresser lines the right side of the wall next to a television and a couple of photos of my grandparents on each side. Their bed is my safe zone. I can jump on it anytime - waking up my parents if I am scared or if I have an important announcement that cannot wait until the morning. I'm lucky because I know my first home still exists. It exists in my mind and heart, on a physical property(住宅) on West 64th street on the western edge of Los Angeles. It is proof I lived, I grew and I learned. Sometimes when I feel lost, I lie down and shut my eyes, and I go home. I know it's where I'll find my family, my dogs, and my belongings. I purposely leave the window open at night because I know I'll be blamed by Mom. But I don't mind, because I want to hear her say my name, which reminds me I'm home. 4. Why does the author call her parents' bed her "safe zone"(Paragraph 3)? A. It is her favorite place to play. B. Her needs can be satisfied there. C. Her grandparents' photos are lined on each side. D. Her parents always play together with her there. 5. What can be learned from the passage? A. The old furniture is still in the author's fist bedroom. B. The author can still visit her first physical home in Los Angeles. C. The author's favorite room in her first home is the dining room. D. Many people of the author's age can still find their first physical homes. 6. Sometimes when she feels lost, the author will _______. A. Open the window at night B. lie down in bed to have a dream C. try to bring back a sense of home D. go to Los Angeles to visit her mom 7. What is the author's purpose of writing this passage? A. To express how much she is attached to her home. B. To declare how much she loves her first house. C. To describe the state of her family. D. To look back on her childhood. 【答案】4. B 5. B 6. C 7. A 【解析】 【分析】本文主要表达了作者对家的依恋。小时候，家对于作者来说是自己快乐童年的地方，在家里，自己可以得到最大的满足；长大之后，家已经搬迁到了作者的心里，每当作者迷茫和疲惫的时候，总会闭上双眼，感受和回味家的温暖。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段最后两句Their bed is my safe zone. I can jump on it anytime - waking up my parents if I am scared or if I have an important announcement that cannot wait until the morning.可知，作者可以任何时候在父母的床上跳，如果害怕，或者有一个重要的消息不能等到早上，他可以把他的父母唤醒，可以推测出在她父母的床上，作者可以做自己喜欢的事情，故选B。 【5题详解】 细节理解题：根据文章第四段I'm lucky because I know my first home still exists. It exists in my mind and heart, on a physical property(住宅) on West 64th street on the western edge of Los Angeles. It is proof I lived, I grew and I learned.可以得出作者孩提时代住的房子还在，故选B。 【6题详解】 推理判断题：根据文章最后一段第一句Sometimes when I feel lost, I lie down and shut my eyes, and I go home.可以得出作者不是真正的回家，而是在脑子里回味家的味道，因此选C。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段第一句Home to me means a sense of familiarity and nostalgia(怀旧).以及最后一段第一句Sometimes when I feel lost, I lie down and shut my eyes, and I go home.可以推断出作者对家很依恋。故选A。 C Have you ever spent half an hour searching the Internet which, as you find out afterwards, lasted three hours, or opened a book shortly after breakfast and a little while later noticed that the room was getting darker? Most people can remember experiencing such a state. Your mind wasn't wandering; you were totally focused and concentrated on that activity, to such an extent that you were not even aware of yourself. Psychologists call these fully absorbing experiences flow states, which were discovered and named by a world-famous psychologist Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi. His celebrated book Flow: The Psychology of Happiness became an instant best-seller, making its way to the top self-help classics. The state of flow happens under very specific conditions-when we encounter a challenge that is testing for our skills, and yet our skills and capacities are such that it is just about possible to meet this challenge. So both the challenge and the skills are at high levels, stretching us almost to the limit. If challenges exceed skills, one can become anxious. If skills exceed challenges, we usually become bored. Neither of these two cases result in flow. What is also interesting in flow is the almost total absence of emotions during the actual process. One seems to be almost beyond experiencing emotions, most likely because the awareness of self is not present. Mihaly himself is also very much aware of the potential negative impact of the flow. One philosopher once describes his own experience of flow: “When I get totally involved in the conversation, I am not aware of myself, the world around or the passage of time. Sometimes, I may become addictive to that existence, unwilling to cope with other daily routines of life, like forgetting dinner, and saying goodbye to my children.” 8. What is the purpose of Paragraph 1? A. To offer a general background of the topic. B. To make an overall outline for the passage. C. To introduce the topic of the passage. D. To clarify the definition of the topic. 9. In which of the following experience can we enter "flow state"? A. Adopting a dog. B. Watching TV. C. Playing the chess. D. Arguing with others. 10. What can we infer from the third paragraph? A. The state of flow is little conditional. B. Genius at normal schools often gets bored. C. Challenges at high levels push us to the limit. D. Skills play the most important part in flow. 11. Why does the writer quote the philosopher's words? A. To show the drawbacks of the flow. B. To stress the value of self-awareness. C. To underline the absence of emotions. D. To indicate the difficulty of enjoying the flow. 【答案】8. C 9. C 10. B 11. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了“心流状态”这一心理活动现象，指的是你没有走神，完全专注于这个活动，以至于你甚至没有意识到你自己。介绍了“心流状态”发生的条件以及缺点。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Have you ever spent half an hour searching the Internet which, as you find out afterwards, lasted three hours, or opened a book shortly after breakfast and a little while later noticed that the room was getting darker?(你是否曾经花了半个小时在网上搜索，结果发现持续了三个小时；或者你是否曾在早餐后不久打开一本书，不一会儿就发现房间变暗了？)”以及第二段中“Most people can remember experiencing such a state. Your mind wasn't wandering; you were totally focused and concentrated on that activity, to such an extent that you were not even aware of yourself. Psychologists call these fully absorbing experiences flow states, which were discovered and named by a world-famous psychologist Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi. (大多数人都记得经历过这种状态。你没有走神；你完全专注于这个活动，以至于你甚至没有意识到你自己。心理学家称这些完全吸收的体验为心流状态，这是由世界著名心理学家米哈里·契克森米哈里发现并命名的)”可推知，第一段的目的是为了第二段关于“心流状态”的文章主题。故选C。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“The state of flow happens under very specific conditions-when we encounter a challenge that is testing for our skills, and yet our skills and capacities are such that it is just about possible to meet this challenge. So both the challenge and the skills are at high levels, stretching us almost to the limit.(心流的状态发生在非常特定的条件下——当我们遇到一个考验我们技能的挑战时，而我们的技能和能力刚好可以应对这个挑战。 所以挑战和技能都是高水平的，几乎把我们拉伸到极限)”可推知，四个选项中只有“下棋”可以考验我们的技能，而我们的能力也可以应对这个挑战，能让我们可以进入“心流状态”。故选C。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“If challenges exceed skills, one can become anxious. If skills exceed challenges, we usually become bored.(如果挑战超过了技能，人就会变得焦虑。如果技能超过了挑战，我们通常会感到无聊)”可推知，天才属于技能超过了挑战，所以在普通学校经常感到无聊。故选B。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Mihaly himself is also very much aware of the potential negative impact of the flow. One philosopher once describes his own experience of flow: “When I get totally involved in the conversation, I am not aware of myself, the world around or the passage of time. Sometimes, I may become addictive to that existence, unwilling to cope with other daily routines of life, like forgetting dinner, and saying goodbye to my children.”(米哈里本人也非常清楚流的潜在负面影响。一位哲学家曾描述过他自己的心流体验：“当我完全投入到对话中，我不会意识到自己、周围的世界或时间的流逝。有时候，我可能会对这种存在上瘾，不愿意处理其他日常生活的常规，比如忘记吃饭，和孩子们说再见。”)”可推知，作者引用哲学家的话是为了展示“心流状态”的缺点。故选A。 D Many of you may have used Siri, a voice assistant of US tech company Apple. You only have to say “hey Siri” and it will answer to your command. However, we may be sacrificing our privacy to enjoy this convenience. According to a recent report by the Guardian, Siri can be accidentally triggered(触发) and start recording private conversations, such as discussions between doctors and patients. Some of these recordings are then given to workers outside the company to review. Apple claimed the data was used to help Siri improve, but users were not informed of this measure in the first place. Apple’s Siri is not the only voice assistant to come under fire. In 2018, Alexa, a voice assistant developed by US tech company Amazon, recorded a private conversation between a couple and sent it to a stranger without their permission. These issues deepened concerns that tech companies are threatening users’ rights of privacy. Many people have long feared that tech companies are listening and collecting data from private conversations, reported Forbes. Using this data, third party companies could then paint an accurate picture of users’ habits and preferences in order to serve them more targeted advertisements, or even worse, sell this private data. Despite this risk, the popularity of voice assistant seems to be unstoppable. According to a report by Ovum, a London-based research firm, there will be almost as many voice assistants on the planet as people by 2021. “In the near future, everything from your lighting to your air-conditioning to your refrigerator, your coffee maker, and even your toilet could be wired to a system controlled by voice,” commented The Atlantic. Colin Horgan wrote on the blog site Medium that he believed people’s daily lives will soon become a source of data. “The sounds of our homes, the symphony of life—laughing, crying, talking, shouting, sitting in silence—will no longer be considered memories, but data,” he wrote. To deal with the issue, Blake Morgan, reporter for The Atlantic, believed that the answer is transparency. “All companies need to have messaging ready to explain to customers what they do with private data,” she wrote on The Atlantic. Daniel Blair, CEO of a virtual reality startup in Canada, told CBC News that people can change settings and limit how often the device is active in your home, and do some research before buying a device. 12. Why are users worried about the use of the voice assistants? A. The tech company didn’t tell the users how they work. B. Their houses will be controlled by voice assistants. C. The assistants will turn their daily lives into data. D. Their private data may be collected and abused. 13. The underlined phrase in paragraph 3 can be replaced by ________. A. be on fire B. be criticized C. be praised D. be out of date 14. What should the companies do to protect the users’ privacy? A. Inform the users of how they deal with the data. B. Remove the assistants from the users’ devices. C. Change the settings and limit the use of the assistants. D. Do some research on whether the users like the assistants. 15. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage? A. Voice assistant: a future fashion B. Voice assistant: a private data defender C. Voice assistant: a potential privacy threat D. Voice assistant: an efficient house-keeper 【答案】12. D 13. B 14. A 15. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了语音助手会在用户不知情的情况下记录私人对话，从而导致用户隐私被收集和泄露。很多用户对语音助手的这种“威胁隐私”的行为存在担忧，而有关人士认为向用户解释私人数据是如何被处理的是保护用户隐私的方式；也有建议说人们可以改变设置，限制设备在家中的活跃频率，并在购买设备前进行一些调查。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第四段内容“Many people have long feared that tech companies are listening and collecting data from private conversations, reported Forbes. Using this data, third party companies could then paint an accurate picture of users’ habits and preferences in order to serve them more targeted advertisements, or even worse, sell this private data. (据《福布斯》报道，很多人一直担心科技公司会监听私人谈话并收集数据。利用这些数据，第三方公司可以准确地描绘出用户的习惯和偏好，以便为他们提供更有针对性的广告，甚至更糟的是，出售这些私人数据。)”可知，对于使用语音助手，人们存在的担忧是私人信息会被收集和滥用。故选D项。 【13题详解】 词义猜测题。分析语境可知，“Apple’s Siri is not the only voice assistant(苹果的Siri并不是唯一的语音助手)”应是指后文举例提及的语音助手“Alexa”，根据后文“In 2018, Alexa, a voice assistant developed by US tech company Amazon, recorded a private conversation between a couple and sent it to a stranger without their permission.(2018年，美国科技公司亚马逊开发的语音助手Alexa在未经允许的情况下录下了一对夫妇的私人对话，并将其发送给了一个陌生人。)”的举例解释可知，语音助手Alexa在未经允许的情况下将私人对话转发给了其他人，这是错误，应该受到指责。由此可推知，划线短语“come under fire”应是“指责；批评”含义。故选B项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第六段内容“To deal with the issue, Blake Morgan, reporter for The Atlantic, believed that the answer is transparency. ‘All companies need to have messaging ready to explain to customers what they do with private data,’ she wrote on The Atlantic.(《大西洋月刊》记者Blake Morgan认为，解决这个问题的答案是透明。她在《大西洋月刊》上写道：“所有公司都需要准备好信息，向用户解释他们如何处理私人数据。”)”可知，根据Blake Morgan的说法，向用户解释私人数据是如何被处理的是公司保护用户隐私的方式。故选A项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通过阅读文章可知，文章首段“However”句揭示了文章的核心话题，“However, we may be sacrificing our privacy to enjoy this convenience.(然而，我们可能会牺牲我们的隐私来享受这种便利。)”，即，文章主要讲述了以“语音助手有可能会使用户隐私被收集和泄露”这一话题展开了讨论。选项C“Voice assistant: a potential privacy threat(语音助手：潜在的隐私威胁)”贴合主题。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能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 When living out our daily lives, we’re often filled with too many choices from different things around us, telling us how we can improve ourselves. ___16___ Too much choice is never ideal We're often told that having more would lead to happiness when, in actual fact, the opposite occurs.

D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要讨论了在日常生活中，我们不应该被太多的选择所困惑，要避免分心，要给自己确立目标，珍惜现在所拥有的，并且不要害怕失败，只有这样你才能提高自己。 【16题详解】 根据前文“When living out our daily lives,we’re often filled with too many choices from different things around us, telling us how we can improve ourselves.(在日常生活中，我们常常被身边各种事物带来的无数选择所包围，这些选择都在告诉我们该如何提升自我。)”及后文具体的提升自我的建议可知，空处需承上启下，E项“成长和成为一个更好的人的关键是清楚地知道你想要什么。”说明提升自我的关键，启示下文。故选E。 【17题详解】 根据后文“Rather than stopping and reviewing my current circumstances, I knew that I had to remove these distractions.(我知道我必须消除这些干扰，而不是停下来回顾我目前的情况。)”可知，空前需指明“these distractions”的指代对象。G项“生活和例行公事突然让我分心，我发现自己每天都在漫不经心地应付。”符合语境。故选G。 【18题详解】 根据后文“After you gain clarity about your current issues, it is necessary to write milestones for yourself.(当你对当前的问题有了清晰的认识后，有必要为自己写下里程碑。)”可知这一段主要在讨论你有必要确立目标，树立里程碑。B项“制定目标和里程碑。”可概括本段主旨。故选B。 【19题详解】 根据小标题“Appreciate what you currently have(珍惜你现在所拥有的)”及后文“It’s human nature to overlook the things we currently have and to feel dissatisfied with them due to having obtained them.（忽视我们现在拥有的东西，因为已经得到而感到不满意，这是人类的本性。）”可知，忽视现在所拥有的东西是人的天性，F项“人们经常忽视周围的事物，导致他们不时地担心。”点明人们忽视周围事物的现象，衔接后文进一步解释，符合句意。故选F。 【20题详解】 根据前文“It is often said that if you’ve never failed, you’ve never lived. And this is something I definitely agree with. Don’t let fear stop you, and learn to challenge yourself.(人们常说，如果你从未失败过，那你就从未活过。这是我绝对同意的。不要让恐惧阻止你，学会挑战自己。)”说明要学会挑战自己，D项“这是一个成长的机会，让你成为你一直想成为的人。”衔接上文，说明失败和挑战时成长的机会，符合句意。故选D。 第三部分 语言知识运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节：完形填空（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） Once I started working after graduating from Wilfrid Laurier University, I decided to stay in the workforce and go to school part-time.

It was almost time to leave. He jumped into the car with his parents and headed off to the Olympic-sized pool for the big swim meet. When his race came up, Mike was confident. He was strong and swift. Mike climbed out the pool, smiling. He had just won first place, making him the fastest boy in his age group. “Congratulations, son,” his father said. His mom gave him a hug, even though he was soaking wet. A week later, it was time for another swim meet. Like before, Mike decided to enjoy his favorite ice cream flavor. Mike remembered that the last time he had won a race, he also ate mint chocolate chip ice cream first. Maybe he’d win again. He’s taken first place again in his race. Mike was feeling pretty good. As it turned out, Mike decided to have some mint chocolate chip ice cream before every one of the next few swim meets. He began to think of it as his lucky charm. After several months of placing in the top positions of every race he swam, Mike was feeling unbeatable. And he wouldn’t admit it, but all that ice cream was adding a few pounds to his athletic swimmer’s build. It didn’t take long after that for Mike to start coming in second place – and then third – and then last place in his races. The lucky mint chocolate chip ice cream had lost its magic. On the day of his next swim meet, his mother sat down at the table with him. “Mike, we all love ice cream, but it’s not healthy for your body to eat so much of it. Maybe it’s time to quit the sweet treats for a while, especially before you go swimming.”” Mike unwillingly agreed. He went to the swim meet, and didn’t perform well. His father offered to go running with him a few days a week to help him feel better and strengthen his muscles. The extra weight soon disappeared, and Mike found himself breathing easier at swim practices. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右。 2.开头已给出。 Paragraph 1: As he dove into the water, he kicked his legs and stretched his arms as far as he could. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: His jaw dropped as he realized he had beaten his own best time, and everyone else too. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 As he dove into the water, he kicked his legs and stretched his arms as far as he could. It struck endless energy and motivation into his body. His teeth clenched and his eyes fixed on the finish line forward. Suddenly, two figures whizzed past, which startled him. Fearing to fall behind, he felt his heart pounded frantically and his mind went blank. Just then, he thought of his sweat and his father’s encouraging smile.Gradually, his worry gave way to his confidence and the last 5 minutes saw him dash to the finish line, followed by the end of the race. His jaw dropped as he realized he had beaten his own best time, and everyone else too.The flowers in his heart were already in bloom. His parents came up and gave him a high five, grinning from ear to ear. “Hey, why not try your favorite ice cream and celebrate!” said his father, patting him on the shoulder. “Thanks, Dad, but I have given up the ice cream. It’s not such a lucky charm at all.” His eyes shone with wisdom. It was that day that Mike realized that one’s lucky charm was nothing but his diligence. 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了Mike参加游泳比赛之前吃冰淇淋能带给他幸运，但是后面冰淇淋似乎失去魔力，Mike接下来的比赛接连失利使得他不情愿地戒掉甜食，但是比赛还是没有获胜，随后父亲陪他锻炼，在接下来的一次比赛中他获胜了，并感悟一个人的幸运符不过是他的勤奋而已。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“当他跳入水中时，他踢蹬腿，尽可能地伸展双臂。”可知，第一段可描写他努力冲向终点的过程。 ②由第二段首句内容“当他意识到他打破了自己的最好成绩，也打破了其他人的最好成绩时，他的下巴都掉了下来。”可知，第二段可描写他获胜之后的情形和内心感悟。 2.续写线索：跳入水中——努力向前——落后——想起父亲鼓励的话有了自信——赢得比赛——获胜后的情形——感悟 词汇激活 行为类 ①冲向……：dash to/rush to ②.咧着嘴笑：grin from ear to ear/ laugh from ear to ear ③.轻拍他的肩膀：pat him on the shoulder/tap him on the shoulder 情绪类 ①.使惊吓：startle/frighten ②.感到他的心狂跳不止：feel his heart pounded frantically/feel his heart beating wildly 【点睛】 [高分句型1]Fearing to fall behind, he felt his heart pounded frantically and his mind went blank.（运用了现在分词作状语） [高分句型2] It was that day that Mike realized that one’s lucky charm was nothing but his diligence.（运用了强调句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
