When I started writing words with pencils, I would twist them inside a sharpener to see if the pencil lead went all the way through the body. Growing up, I saw my television taken apart to reveal the inner workings that only made sense when I did a degree in physics. Then I landed a career in engineering, spending six years as part of the team that designed the Shard, a famous building in London. Actually, whether I knew it or not, I was already on a mission to understand how things are formed. After exploring the big, I decided to turn to the small. I realized whatever matter forms human-made objects, complex devices are made up of fundamental building blocks, without which our complex machinery wouldn’t exist. It is this idea that inspired my book where I select what I believe are seven core elements that form the basis of the world-the nail, the wheel, the spring, the magnet, the lens, the pump and the string. Together they compose a vast range of innovations in terms of their underlying (潜在的) scientific principles and the fields of engineering they touch. They’ve changed our technology, and had a sweeping impact on our history, arts, culture, communication, political and power structures, etc. The blender we use to make baby’s food relies on gears (齿轮), which couldn’t exist without the wheel. The speaker on the phone relies on a magnet. Even when we think of larger and more complex objects-diggers, skyscrapers, satellites-we come back to the same seven foundational innovations. So, look around you, and ask questions about what you see: reignite(重燃) that childhood curiosity. Hopefully, that will inspire you to investigate and lead you to a better understanding of the building blocks of our world. 24. Why does the author mention crayons in paragraph 1? A. To explain his choice of college major. B. To demonstrate his fascination with tools. C. To highlight his disappointment at the discovery. D. To show his early passion for the insides of objects. 25. What made the author’s book possible? A. His experience in designing buildings. B. His understanding of the origin of things. C. His finding of the components of machinery. D. His perspective on the operation of the world. 26. What do we know about the seven core elements? A. They throw light on scientific principles. B. They have a profound influence on society. C. They mark an era of technological innovation. D. They represent the advancement in engineering. 27. What can be the best title for the text? A. Small Things That Count B. Big Dreams That Reward C. Ask the Right Questions D. Understand Core Elements C Across the flat plateau of AlUla in Saudi Arabia, shades of gray- brown soil are dotted with areas of dark rock —— and a clearly defined circle of stones. Unmistakably constructed by humans, this structure, called “standing stone circles” by Archaeologists, was built around 7,500 years ago by a people we barely know for a purpose we have long misunderstood. In 2019, archaeologists from the University of Western Australia began excavating (发掘) these standing stone circles. Their initial idea was that these were structures built by Neolithic nomads (新石器时代的游牧民) for some long- forgotten religious practices. However, excavating at multiple sites, they found what turned out to be archaeological pay dirt — domestic rubbish. The remains of discarded animal bones, household tools, and even jewelry, have reclassified the standing stone circles as Neolithic homes. Standing stone circles seem to have sprung up around 5,800 to 5,500 B. C. This coincided with a warmer climate in the region that brought more regular rainfall and a landscape of rich grasses and trees, good conditions for raising cattle and goats. But these were also good conditions for building permanent structures. More abundant vegetation meant less pressure to keep moving the animals to fresh grasslands, which made building homes more worthwhile. This, and the plateau’s abundance of stones, may have encouraged the nomads to stay a while and build. Excavations of these settlements are revealing something of this people’s way of life. They kept cattle and goats for meat, but continued to hunt and gather to expand their diet with hare, fruits and nuts. The many grinding(磨碎) stones found on the sites suggest inhabitants were regularly grinding grains, but these were likely to be gathered rather than farmed. The plateau sites have also revealed tools made with materials from the sandstone valleys and jewelry shaped from shells from the Red Sea —— these Neolithic people had a complex culture involving travel and probably exchange. The revelation overturns many of our assumptions about Neolithic AlUla. Here were a people more settled and more civilized than history has given them credit for. Their story is just beginning to be revealed, but already a very different picture of early AlUla is emerging. 28. What did the 2019 excavation finally identify the “standing stone circles” as? A. Religious sites. B. Natural wonders. C. Rubbish stations. D. Domestic buildings. 29. What was a contributing factor in the building of the standing stone circles? A. The richness of plants. B. The worsening climate. C. The need to store goods. D. The desire to raise more animals. 30. What is most likely true about Neolithic people’s way of life in AlUla? A. They had interactions with other groups. B. They planted crops and kept cattle and goats. C. They relied entirely on hunting and gathering for food. D. They made tools and jewelry purely from local materials. 31. What is the purpose of the text? A. To promote a historical site. B. To provide some new insights. C. To introduce an ancient population. D. To argue for some long- held beliefs. D I’m a consumer psychologist who has studied social decision-making for over a decade. A common yet puzzling aspect of social life is how people respond to invitations, particularly when they reply with a vague “maybe”. Recently, my co-authors and I published a series of studies that directly examine what goes on in people’s heads when they are unsure whether to accept an invitation. Social invitations can be a delicate dance, and people often misread what someone extending an invite wants to hear. We consistently found that people overestimate an inviter’s likelihood of preferring a “maybe” over a “no”. Moreover, they fail to realize how much more disrespected people feel when they receive a “maybe” in response to their invitation. Another pattern emerged: The more someone incorrectly assumed that a host preferred a tentative response, the more likely they were to respond with a “maybe” themselves. Naturally, we wanted to figure out why this awkward dynamic plays out. We found that it’s largely due to something called “motivated reasoning”. Motivated reasoning occurs when a person interprets information in a biased way to arrive at a conclusion that is in line with their own wishes. Saying “no” right immediately eliminates one’s options and opens the door for FOMO, or fear of missing out, to emerge. That said, there were certain situations that made people more comfortable saying “no” to an invite. In one study, we had recipients of an invitation put themselves in the shoes of the person extending the invite. This made them more likely to realize that they’d probably prefer a definitive answer. That is, it seemed to prevent motivated reasoning from emerging. In another study, we had participants get invited to do something they didn’t want to do. We found that motivated reasoning then became irrelevant: They had no desire to keep their options open, so they were more likely to assume that a “no” was preferable to a “maybe”. Furthermore, other research has explored the subtle art of the decline, testing which reasons soften the bitterness of a rejected invitation. The findings are clear: saying you’re too busy comes across as a half-hearted excuse; saying you have a prior commitment lands with slightly more weight; but saying you simply don’t have the financial means to make it work is received with the greatest understanding. Beyond the choice of words, however, lies a more fundamental principle of communication. It might reduce your options. But it’ll keep those who invited you from being left in uncertainty. 32. What does the author intend to illustrate with the “delicate dance” metaphor in paragraph 2? A. To argue that inviters often have self-serving motivations when extending offers. B. To stress how easily people can misread others’ intentions in social exchanges. C. To suggest a tentative “maybe” is the most polite response in these situations. D. To prove the false assumption made by invitees who fear the consequences of refusal. 33. Based on the reasons for the “maybe” response, what can we conclude? A. Even when people dislike the activity, FOMO makes them hesitate over it. B. Receiving an unattractive invitation is the most effective way to eliminate FOMO. C. Taking the inviter’s perspective helps to overcome the bias and give a direct answer. D. People say “maybe” to avoid the duty of making an immediate decision for the inviter. 34. Based on the findings, what fundamental principle of communication does the author advocate? A. Prioritize straightforward and clear communication. B. Ensure refusals are credible with well-justified reasons. C. Favor accepting invitations when facing uncertainty. D. Maintain flexibility in one’s schedule when declining. 35. Which of the following would be the most appropriate title for the passage? A. New Principles into Framing Invitations B. How to politely Refuse an Invitation C. Why “Maybe” Hurts and “No” Helps D. Psychology Behind Successful Invitations 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。 A classroom at Shiqiao Primary School in Faku county, Northeast China’s Liaoning province, erupted into giggle (咯咯笑) as Mir Hussain Shahzad, a Pakistani medical student, taught Chinese children to greet each other in Urdu, the national language of Pakistan. ___36___. He stimulated curiosity, connecting a small Chinese town to the heart of Pakistan. As 2026 approaches, marking the 75th anniversary of diplomatic (外交) relations between China and Pakistan, many young Pakistanis in China, like Mir, are actively promoting this long-lasting friendship through personal experiences and open exchange. Mir is a recent graduate of Shenyang Medical College with a bachelor’s degree in clinical medicine. ___37___. He participates in and organizes volunteer programmes sports events, and community service activities. This year, he led a team of Pakistani students in the First Liaoning Dragon Boat Open. ___38___. At first, they struggled. “We couldn’t understand the commands or row in sync (同时),” he recalled. But after months of dedicated practice, they proudly finished in fourth place. “___39___; off the water, we were friends cheering each other on. Sports brought us closer,” Mir said. ___40___. On campus, Mir took part in blood donation drives, viewing each contribution as more than just a medical act. “To me, it reflects the idea of ‘lifesaving without borders’,” he said. This idea led him to volunteer at local clinics too. There, he shared traditional Pakistani medical knowledge in Urdu while learning about traditional Chinese medicine from the locals. A. Mir didn’t just teach language B His spirit of unity wasn’t limited to sports C. On the water, we were competitors D. His Chinese competence improved remarkably in a short time E. It involves a traditional Chinese sport that was entirely unfamiliar to them F. He has stood out not only in academic study but also as a student leader G. The Pakistani student team had an argument with the judges in the dragon boat race 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分 30 分） 第一节 （共 15 小题；每小题 1 分，满分 15 分） To Dreamland With Stuffed Animals I have always envied people who can slip right into sleep. Bedtime is ___41___ calm for me. Just when I wish I could ___42___ off, I find myself up against anxious thoughts. Counting sheep is no match for my mind’s nightly churn, but hugging one is. I ___43___ the habit of sleeping with stuffed animals in the early days of the pandemic, when I grabbed a polar bear from my childhood bedroom to ___44___ bad news and fear. I had never been particularly attached to him as a kid, but he was the perfect size to hold in my ___45___ adult arms. Although I can’t be sure how common this is, I’m probably not alone. In a 2017 survey of U.S. adults, 40 percent of respondents said that they still slept with stuffed animals. Since I rediscovered that polar bear, I have settled into ___46___ a cast of childhood favorites and a lightly weighted, heatable Warmies cow I bought for myself. It is perhaps no surprise that I turned to stuffed animals during a period of ___47___ stress. Max Genecov at the University of Pennsylvania pointed out that stuffed animals can be “transitional objects.” This psychological term is often used with regard to children for an item that provides comfort during times of anxiety or change. Companies have also taken note of adults’ childlike ___48___ in this regard and are integrating these ideas into their marketing of things that can help adults sleep. If all of this seems rather childish, it is! Kids love stuffed animals because they’re cozy and just personified enough to provide a bit of ___49___ comfort. That’s a great way for kids to self-soothe. We adults can do the same thing. Jennifer Goldschmied, an assistant professor of psychiatry at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania, told me when people go to sleep, self-soothing reduces “cognitive arousal,” the type of active thinking that ____50____ a person’s waking hours. While it is a myth that the human brain shuts off for sleep, people still have to enter a more relaxed mindset to drift off. ____51____, the act of hugging has also been associated with stress relief. A study found that ____52____ a huggable communication device lowered stress hormones (激素) in blood and saliva (唾液). Maybe that’s why I reached for that polar bear during a stressful time. Stuffed animals have improved my sleep in the long term by establishing a calming bedtime routine, which Goldschmied emphasized is “probably the single most important thing in getting a better night of sleep.” Over time, the brain will come to expect that performing these rituals can help ____53____ the body into a restful state. In my case, putting down my book or phone and picking up my stuffed animal creates a ____54____ between sleep and other activities, prompting me to unwind. I can’t end with a specific stuffed animal to recommend, or any guarantees, but I can extend to you my permission to ____55____ in some childlike comfort. Whichever one you choose, you might end up with only a piece of cute decor, but you might also reintroduce a bit of joy, gentleness, and comfort to your nightly routine. Either way, don’t forget to wash them! 41. A. sometimes B. rarely C. often D. usually 42. A. wipe B. switch C. drift D. take 43. A. rediscovered B. avoided C. forgot D. ignored 44. A. bounce off B. make up C. ward off D. put up 45. A. strong B. mature C. fruitful D. anxious 46. A. rotating B. inventing C. creating D. featuring 47. A. accelerated B. reduced C. boomed D. heightened 48. A. memories B. tendencies C. communications D. medications 49. A. individual B. economical C. political D. social 50.

On this particular day, she was guiding them through the process of drawing a scenic landscape. Akila yawned(打哈欠), clearly disinterested - drawing wasn’t her thing. A small group of students gathered around Tina, laughing at her unusual drawing: a sun sporting sunglasses and trees topped with ice cream cones. Mary instructed Tina firmly but with unease, “Draw it the way I showed you.” As the lesson continued, doubt crept into Mary’s mind. Had the joy of creativity been overshadowed by the pressure to fit in? She scanned the room, observing her students’ faces – some concentrated, others uncertain. Akila’s disinterest was clear and Tina’s imaginative drawing had been met with ridicule instead of praise. After class, Mary sat down with Tina, her tone softening, “Why did you draw the sun with sunglasses and the trees with ice creams?” she asked gently. Tina’s eyes sparkled with a touch of rebellion (叛逆)-“I love ice cream and I thought the sun would look cool with sunglasses. Why do we always have to draw like everyone else?” Mary paused, her thoughts racing. Tina’s drawings weren’t just curious —they were a window into a world where imagination ruled, where rales could be bent into delightful chaos. Was she, by enforcing a rigid style, killing that very creativity? The next morning, Mary walked into the classroom with a renewed sense of purpose. She placed a large sheet of paper in front of the class and announced a new project: they would create a collective(集体的)artwork titled “Our Dream World” with no rules. They were free to use colors, shapes, and patterns however they wished. At first, the students hesitated, unsure of this newfound freedom. Akila leaned back, skeptical of what seemed like another pointless exercise. But Tina, her creativity no longer restricted, eagerly grabbed her crayons and began to draw with abandon. Then, Maya joined in. And then Michael... 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。 As the students worked, Mary observed them with curiosity. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Mary stood back and surveyed the creation. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 四川外国语大学附属外国语学校2025-2026学年 高三上学期11月期中英语试题 注意事项： 1.答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号等填写在答题卡和试卷指定位置上。 2.回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上。写在本试卷上无效。 3.试卷由圈"整理排版。考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 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. 【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 What is the man’s attitude towards the plant?

In a newspaper office. 19. Which of the following means fluency in Chinese in the speaker’s opinion? A. Reading a newspaper quickly enough. B. Answering teacher’s questions in Chinese. C. Talking freely without referring to a text. 20. What is the speaker mainly talking about? A. How one can gain fluency in Chinese. B. How long it takes to be fluent in Chinese. C. What fluency in Chinese really means. 【答案】17. C 18. A 19. C 20. B 【解析】 【原文】When I started learning Chinese, I was horrified to hear that it would take me 10 years to become fluent. Another 17 years later, I’m still working at it due to my work on television. Some Chinese language learners may consider me a role model of sorts, but every day I'm reminded of what I don’t know and how much more there is to learn. Who cares how long it takes? Just do it. If you really want to learn Chinese, you will devote yourself to it, however long it takes. Gaining fluency in Chinese is a difficult practice. All manner of things affect how long it will take, from time and dedication classes you take to finding a good teacher. Fluency has a different definition in most people’s minds. For the sake of this answer, I am going to consider fluency, the ability to read and understand newspapers, as well as engage in complex conversation without looking at the words. 第二部分 阅读（共两节，满分 50 分） 第一节 （共 15 小题；每小题 2.5 分，满分 37.5 分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的 A、B、C、D 四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A Science Alliance: High School Program We are excited to announce the expansion of the Science Alliance Program to students in grades 9-12.

My great enthusiasm was dampened to find just more crayon inside. When I started writing words with pencils, I would twist them inside a sharpener to see if the pencil lead went all the way through the body. Growing up, I saw my television taken apart to reveal the inner workings that only made sense when I did a degree in physics. Then I landed a career in engineering, spending six years as part of the team that designed the Shard, a famous building in London. Actually, whether I knew it or not, I was already on a mission to understand how things are formed. After exploring the big, I decided to turn to the small. I realized whatever matter forms human-made objects, complex devices are made up of fundamental building blocks, without which our complex machinery wouldn’t exist. It is this idea that inspired my book where I select what I believe are seven core elements that form the basis of the world-the nail, the wheel, the spring, the magnet, the lens, the pump and the string. Together they compose a vast range of innovations in terms of their underlying (潜在的) scientific principles and the fields of engineering they touch. They’ve changed our technology, and had a sweeping impact on our history, arts, culture, communication, political and power structures, etc. The blender we use to make baby’s food relies on gears (齿轮), which couldn’t exist without the wheel. The speaker on the phone relies on a magnet. Even when we think of larger and more complex objects-diggers, skyscrapers, satellites-we come back to the same seven foundational innovations. So, look around you, and ask questions about what you see: reignite(重燃) that childhood curiosity. Hopefully, that will inspire you to investigate and lead you to a better understanding of the building blocks of our world. 24. Why does the author mention crayons in paragraph 1? A. To explain his choice of college major. B. To demonstrate his fascination with tools. C. To highlight his disappointment at the discovery. D. To show his early passion for the insides of objects. 25. What made the author’s book possible? A. His experience in designing buildings. B. His understanding of the origin of things. C. His finding of the components of machinery. D. His perspective on the operation of the world. 26. What do we know about the seven core elements? A. They throw light on scientific principles. B. They have a profound influence on society. C. They mark an era of technological innovation. D. They represent the advancement in engineering. 27. What can be the best title for the text? A. Small Things That Count B. Big Dreams That Reward C. Ask the Right Questions D. Understand Core Elements 【答案】24. D 25. C 26. B 27. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是夹叙夹议文。文章主要讲述作者从小就对事物的内部感兴趣，他发现一切事物都是由七个核心小元素组成的，即：小东西也很重要。 【24题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“When I was five, I once peeled off the paper that enveloped my crayons and snapped them in two. My great enthusiasm was dampened to find just more crayon inside. When I started writing words with pencils, I would twist them inside a sharpener to see if the pencil lead went all the way through the body. Growing up, I saw my television taken apart to reveal the inner workings that only made sense when I did a degree in physics.(我五岁的时候，有一次我把包着蜡笔的纸撕下来，把它们掰成两半。我发现里面只有更多的蜡笔，我的热情被浇灭了。当我开始用铅笔写字时，我会把它们拧在卷笔刀里，看看铅笔芯是否一直穿过身体。在我的成长过程中，我看到我的电视被拆开，以揭示只有当我获得物理学学位时才有意义的内部运作。)”可知，这一段提到作者小时候把包着蜡笔的纸撕下来、用卷笔刀削铅笔、拆电视机等都是想说明作者从小就对事物的内部感兴趣。故选D。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“I realized whatever matter forms human-made objects, complex devices are made up of fundamental building blocks, without which our complex machinery wouldn’t exist. (我意识到，无论物质形成什么样的人造物体，复杂的设备都是由基本的构建块组成的，没有这些构建块，我们复杂的机器就不存在。)”和第四段“It is this idea that inspired my book where I select what I believe are seven core elements that form the basis of the world-the nail, the wheel, the spring, the magnet, the lens, the pump and the string.(正是这个想法启发了我的书，我选择了我认为构成世界基础的七个核心元素——钉子、轮子、弹簧、磁铁、镜头、泵和绳子。)”可知，是作者对机械部件的发现促使他写书。故选C。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“It is this idea that inspired my book where I select what I believe are seven core elements that form the basis of the world-the nail, the wheel, the spring, the magnet, the lens, the pump and the string.

The speaker on the phone relies on a magnet. Even when we think of larger and more complex objects-diggers, skyscrapers, satellites-we come back to the same seven foundational innovations. (我们用来制作婴儿食品的搅拌机依赖于齿轮，没有轮子就不可能存在。手机上的扬声器依靠磁铁。即使当我们想到更大、更复杂的物体——挖掘机、摩天大楼、卫星——我们也会回到同样的七项基本创新。)”和最后一段“So, look around you, and ask questions about what you see: reignite(重燃) that childhood curiosity. Hopefully, that will inspire you to investigate and lead you to a better understanding of the building blocks of our world. (所以，环顾四周，问问你所看到的：重新点燃童年的好奇心。希望这将激励你进行调查，并引导你更好地了解我们世界的组成部分。)”可知，这篇文章主要讲述作者从小就对事物的内部感兴趣，他发现一切事物都是由七个核心小元素组成的，即：小东西也很重要。故选A。 C Across the flat plateau of AlUla in Saudi Arabia, shades of gray- brown soil are dotted with areas of dark rock —— and a clearly defined circle of stones. Unmistakably constructed by humans, this structure, called “standing stone circles” by Archaeologists, was built around 7,500 years ago by a people we barely know for a purpose we have long misunderstood. In 2019, archaeologists from the University of Western Australia began excavating (发掘) these standing stone circles. Their initial idea was that these were structures built by Neolithic nomads (新石器时代的游牧民) for some long- forgotten religious practices. However, excavating at multiple sites, they found what turned out to be archaeological pay dirt — domestic rubbish. The remains of discarded animal bones, household tools, and even jewelry, have reclassified the standing stone circles as Neolithic homes. Standing stone circles seem to have sprung up around 5,800 to 5,500 B. C. This coincided with a warmer climate in the region that brought more regular rainfall and a landscape of rich grasses and trees, good conditions for raising cattle and goats. But these were also good conditions for building permanent structures. More abundant vegetation meant less pressure to keep moving the animals to fresh grasslands, which made building homes more worthwhile. This, and the plateau’s abundance of stones, may have encouraged the nomads to stay a while and build. Excavations of these settlements are revealing something of this people’s way of life. They kept cattle and goats for meat, but continued to hunt and gather to expand their diet with hare, fruits and nuts. The many grinding(磨碎) stones found on the sites suggest inhabitants were regularly grinding grains, but these were likely to be gathered rather than farmed. The plateau sites have also revealed tools made with materials from the sandstone valleys and jewelry shaped from shells from the Red Sea —— these Neolithic people had a complex culture involving travel and probably exchange. The revelation overturns many of our assumptions about Neolithic AlUla. Here were a people more settled and more civilized than history has given them credit for. Their story is just beginning to be revealed, but already a very different picture of early AlUla is emerging. 28. What did the 2019 excavation finally identify the “standing stone circles” as? A. Religious sites. B. Natural wonders. C. Rubbish stations. D. Domestic buildings. 29. What was a contributing factor in the building of the standing stone circles? A. The richness of plants. B. The worsening climate. C. The need to store goods. D. The desire to raise more animals. 30. What is most likely true about Neolithic people’s way of life in AlUla? A. They had interactions with other groups. B. They planted crops and kept cattle and goats. C. They relied entirely on hunting and gathering for food. D. They made tools and jewelry purely from local materials. 31. What is the purpose of the text? A. To promote a historical site. B. To provide some new insights. C. To introduce an ancient population. D. To argue for some long- held beliefs. 【答案】28. D 29. A 30. A 31. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是说明文。文章介绍了沙特一处新石器时代的建筑，该建筑的发掘让考古学家对沙特新石器时代的游牧民有了新的认识。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段的“The remains of discarded animal bones, household tools, and even jewelry, have reclassified the standing stone circles as Neolithic homes.(被丢弃的动物骨头，家用工具，甚至珠宝，重新将站立的石头圈归类为新石器时代的房屋。)”可知，该建筑是新石器时代游牧民建立的定居地。故选D。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段的“More abundant vegetation meant less pressure to keep moving the animals to fresh grasslands, which made building homes more worthwhile.(更丰富的植被意味着将动物迁移到新鲜草原的压力更小，这使得建造家园更值得。)”可知，植被的丰富是促进游牧民定居的重要原因。故选A 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段的“The plateau sites have also revealed tools made with materials from the sandstone valleys and jewelry shaped from shells from the Red Sea —— these Neolithic people had a complex culture involving travel and probably exchange.(高原遗址还发现了用砂岩山谷的材料制成的工具和用红海贝壳制成的珠宝——这些新石器时代的人有一个复杂的文化，包括旅行和可能的交换。)”可推知新石器时期的沙特游牧民可能和其他地区的人群有往来。故选A。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章首段末句“Unmistakably constructed by humans, this structure, called “standing stone circles” by Archaeologists, was built around 7,500 years ago by a people we barely know for a purpose we have long misunderstood.(这个被考古学家称为“环状列石”的建筑无疑是由人类建造的，它是在大约7500年前由一个我们几乎不知道的民族建造的，我们长期以来一直误解它的目的。)”和最后一段的内容“The revelation overturns many of our assumptions about Neolithic AlUla. Here were a people more settled and more civilized than history has given them credit for. Their story is just beginning to be revealed, but already a very different picture of early AlUla is emerging. (这一发现推翻了我们对新石器时代的许多假设。这里的人们比历史上所记载的更加安定，更加文明。他们的故事才刚刚开始被揭示，但早期AlUla的一个非常不同的画面正在浮现。)”可知，本文介绍了沙特一处新石器时代的建筑，该建筑的发掘推翻了考古学家之前对于沙特新石器时代游牧民的设想，为该地区游牧民的生活方式提供了新的认识。因此推断本文的写作目的是提供一些新的见解。故选B。 D I’m a consumer psychologist who has studied social decision-making for over a decade. A common yet puzzling aspect of social life is how people respond to invitations, particularly when they reply with a vague “maybe”. Recently, my co-authors and I published a series of studies that directly examine what goes on in people’s heads when they are unsure whether to accept an invitation. Social invitations can be a delicate dance, and people often misread what someone extending an invite wants to hear. We consistently found that people overestimate an inviter’s likelihood of preferring a “maybe” over a “no”. Moreover, they fail to realize how much more disrespected people feel when they receive a “maybe” in response to their invitation. Another pattern emerged: The more someone incorrectly assumed that a host preferred a tentative response, the more likely they were to respond with a “maybe” themselves. Naturally, we wanted to figure out why this awkward dynamic plays out. We found that it’s largely due to something called “motivated reasoning”. Motivated reasoning occurs when a person interprets information in a biased way to arrive at a conclusion that is in line with their own wishes. Saying “no” right immediately eliminates one’s options and opens the door for FOMO, or fear of missing out, to emerge. That said, there were certain situations that made people more comfortable saying “no” to an invite. In one study, we had recipients of an invitation put themselves in the shoes of the person extending the invite. This made them more likely to realize that they’d probably prefer a definitive answer. That is, it seemed to prevent motivated reasoning from emerging. In another study, we had participants get invited to do something they didn’t want to do. We found that motivated reasoning then became irrelevant: They had no desire to keep their options open, so they were more likely to assume that a “no” was preferable to a “maybe”. Furthermore, other research has explored the subtle art of the decline, testing which reasons soften the bitterness of a rejected invitation. The findings are clear: saying you’re too busy comes across as a half-hearted excuse; saying you have a prior commitment lands with slightly more weight; but saying you simply don’t have the financial means to make it work is received with the greatest understanding. Beyond the choice of words, however, lies a more fundamental principle of communication. It might reduce your options. But it’ll keep those who invited you from being left in uncertainty. 32. What does the author intend to illustrate with the “delicate dance” metaphor in paragraph 2? A. To argue that inviters often have self-serving motivations when extending offers. B. To stress how easily people can misread others’ intentions in social exchanges. C. To suggest a tentative “maybe” is the most polite response in these situations. D. To prove the false assumption made by invitees who fear the consequences of refusal. 33. Based on the reasons for the “maybe” response, what can we conclude? A. Even when people dislike the activity, FOMO makes them hesitate over it. B. Receiving an unattractive invitation is the most effective way to eliminate FOMO. C. Taking the inviter’s perspective helps to overcome the bias and give a direct answer. D. People say “maybe” to avoid the duty of making an immediate decision for the inviter. 34. Based on the findings, what fundamental principle of communication does the author advocate? A. Prioritize straightforward and clear communication. B. Ensure refusals are credible with well-justified reasons. C. Favor accepting invitations when facing uncertainty. D. Maintain flexibility in one’s schedule when declining. 35. Which of the following would be the most appropriate title for the passage? A. New Principles into Framing Invitations B. How to politely Refuse an Invitation C. Why “Maybe” Hurts and “No” Helps D. Psychology Behind Successful Invitations 【答案】32. B 33. C 34. A 35. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章基于心理学研究，分析了人们回应邀请时倾向用“maybe”的原因（动机性推理、害怕错过），并指出换位思考和明确回应（如真诚说“no”）更利于沟通，同时分享了让拒绝更易被接受的方式。 【32题详解】 推理判断题。根据划线词所在句“Social invitations can be a delicate dance(社交邀请可能是一场微妙的舞蹈)”以及下文“people often misread what someone extending an invite wants to hear. We consistently found that people overestimate an inviter’s likelihood of preferring a “maybe” over a “no”. Moreover, they fail to realize how much more disrespected people feel when they receive a “maybe” in response to their invitation.(人们经常会误解别人发出邀请时想听到的内容。我们一直发现，人们高估了邀请者喜欢“可能”而不是“不”的可能性。此外，他们没有意识到，当人们收到一个“可能”的回复时，他们会感到多么不受尊重。)”可知，人们经常误解邀请者的真实意图，错误解读邀请者的想法（如高估对方偏好“可能”而非“不”，以及收到“可能”时感到不受尊重），导致沟通问题；因此，作者用“delicate dance(微妙的舞蹈)”这个暗喻来强调人们在社会交往中很容易误解他人的意图。故选B。 【33题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“Motivated reasoning occurs when a person interprets information in a biased way to arrive at a conclusion that is in line with their own wishes. Saying “no” right immediately eliminates one’s options and opens the door for FOMO, or fear of missing out, to emerge.(动机性推理指的是一个人以带有偏见的方式解读信息，从而得出与自身意愿一致的结论。立刻说“不”会直接断绝自身的选择，进而引发错失恐惧症（即害怕错过机会的心理，英文缩写为 FOMO）。)”以及第四段中“In one study, we had recipients of an invitation put themselves in the shoes of the person extending the invite. This made them more likely to realize that they’d probably prefer a definitive answer. That is, it seemed to prevent motivated reasoning from emerging. (在一项研究中，我们让收到邀请的人设身处地地站在发出邀请的人的角度去思考。这使得他们更有可能意识到自己可能更希望得到一个明确的答复。也就是说，这似乎能够避免动机性推理的出现。)”可知，“可能”回应源于“动机推理”，即人们为避免FOMO（害怕错过）而保持选项开放。当受邀者站在邀请者角度思考时，他们更可能意识到对方想要一个明确的答复，从而更倾向于直接说“不”；这直接说明了换位思考是克服“动机性推理”偏见、给出明确答案的有效方法。故选C。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“The findings are clear: saying you’re too busy comes across as a half-hearted excuse; saying you have a prior commitment lands with slightly more weight; but saying you simply don’t have the financial means to make it work is received with the greatest understanding. Beyond the choice of words, however, lies a more fundamental principle of communication. It might reduce your options. But it’ll keep those who invited you from being left in uncertainty.(研究结果明确表明：声称自己太忙听起来像是一个敷衍的借口；声称有其他事务安排则更具说服力；但声称自己根本没有足够的经济能力来赴约则会得到最大的理解。然而，除了措辞的选择之外，还存在着一个更根本的沟通原则。这可能会减少你的选择余地。但这样一来，邀请你的人就不会被置于不确定的境地了。)”可知，尽管拒绝时选词重要（如给出经济原因更易理解），一个明确的“不”会限制你的选择，但能避免让对方陷入不确定，因此，作者倡导的是避免对方陷入不确定的清晰、直接的沟通，明确回应（无论接受或拒绝）比模糊的“maybe”更重要。故选A。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其根据第二段中“Moreover, they fail to realize how much more disrespected people feel when they receive a “maybe” in response to their invitation. Another pattern emerged: The more someone incorrectly assumed that a host preferred a tentative response, the more likely they were to respond with a “maybe” themselves.(此外，他们没有意识到，当人们收到一个“可能”的回复时，他们会感到多么不受尊重。另一种模式出现了：人们越是错误地认为主人更喜欢试探性的回答，他们自己就越有可能回答“也许”。)”、第四段中“In one study, we had recipients of an invitation put themselves in the shoes of the person extending the invite. This made them more likely to realize that they’d probably prefer a definitive answer. (在一项研究中，我们让收到邀请的人设身处地地站在发出邀请的人的角度去思考。这使得他们更有可能意识到自己可能更希望得到一个明确的答复。也就是说，这似乎能够避免动机性推理的出现。在另一项研究中，我们让参与者接到邀请去做他们不想做的事情。)”以及最后一段中“Beyond the choice of words, however, lies a more fundamental principle of communication. It might reduce your options. But it’ll keep those who invited you from being left in uncertainty.(然而，除了措辞的选择之外，还存在着一个更根本的沟通原则。这可能会减少你的选择余地。但这样一来，邀请你的人就不会被置于不确定的境地了。)”可知，心理学角度分析“也许”回应背后的动机及其负面影响（如让邀请者感觉不受尊重），并最终论证“不”的积极作用（如减少不确定性），C选项“Why “Maybe” Hurts and “No” Helps”精准概括主题，适合作为最佳标题；故选C。 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。 A classroom at Shiqiao Primary School in Faku county, Northeast China’s Liaoning province, erupted into giggle (咯咯笑) as Mir Hussain Shahzad, a Pakistani medical student, taught Chinese children to greet each other in Urdu, the national language of Pakistan. ___36___.

Bedtime is ___41___ calm for me. Just when I wish I could ___42___ off, I find myself up against anxious thoughts. Counting sheep is no match for my mind’s nightly churn, but hugging one is. I ___43___ the habit of sleeping with stuffed animals in the early days of the pandemic, when I grabbed a polar bear from my childhood bedroom to ___44___ bad news and fear. I had never been particularly attached to him as a kid, but he was the perfect size to hold in my ___45___ adult arms. Although I can’t be sure how common this is, I’m probably not alone. In a 2017 survey of U.S. adults, 40 percent of respondents said that they still slept with stuffed animals. Since I rediscovered that polar bear, I have settled into ___46___ a cast of childhood favorites and a lightly weighted, heatable Warmies cow I bought for myself. It is perhaps no surprise that I turned to stuffed animals during a period of ___47___ stress. Max Genecov at the University of Pennsylvania pointed out that stuffed animals can be “transitional objects.” This psychological term is often used with regard to children for an item that provides comfort during times of anxiety or change. Companies have also taken note of adults’ childlike ___48___ in this regard and are integrating these ideas into their marketing of things that can help adults sleep. If all of this seems rather childish, it is! Kids love stuffed animals because they’re cozy and just personified enough to provide a bit of ___49___ comfort. That’s a great way for kids to self-soothe. We adults can do the same thing. Jennifer Goldschmied, an assistant professor of psychiatry at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania, told me when people go to sleep, self-soothing reduces “cognitive arousal,” the type of active thinking that ____50____ a person’s waking hours. While it is a myth that the human brain shuts off for sleep, people still have to enter a more relaxed mindset to drift off. ____51____, the act of hugging has also been associated with stress relief. A study found that ____52____ a huggable communication device lowered stress hormones (激素) in blood and saliva (唾液). Maybe that’s why I reached for that polar bear during a stressful time. Stuffed animals have improved my sleep in the long term by establishing a calming bedtime routine, which Goldschmied emphasized is “probably the single most important thing in getting a better night of sleep.” Over time, the brain will come to expect that performing these rituals can help ____53____ the body into a restful state. In my case, putting down my book or phone and picking up my stuffed animal creates a ____54____ between sleep and other activities, prompting me to unwind. I can’t end with a specific stuffed animal to recommend, or any guarantees, but I can extend to you my permission to ____55____ in some childlike comfort. Whichever one you choose, you might end up with only a piece of cute decor, but you might also reintroduce a bit of joy, gentleness, and comfort to your nightly routine. Either way, don’t forget to wash them! 41. A. sometimes B. rarely C. often D. usually 42. A. wipe B. switch C. drift D. take 43. A. rediscovered B. avoided C. forgot D. ignored 44.

On this particular day she was guiding them through the process of drawing a scenic landscape. Akila yawned(打哈欠), clearly disinterested - drawing wasn’t her thing. A small group of students gathered around Tina, laughing at her unusual drawing: a sun sporting sunglasses and trees topped with ice cream cones. Mary instructed Tina firmly but with unease, “Draw it the way I showed you.” As the lesson continued, doubt crept into Mary’s mind. Had the joy of creativity been overshadowed by the pressure to fit in? She scanned the room, observing her students’ faces – some concentrated, others uncertain. Akila’s disinterest was clear and Tina’s imaginative drawing had been met with ridicule instead of praise. After class, Mary sat down with Tina, her tone softening, “Why did you draw the sun with sunglasses and the trees with ice creams?” she asked gently. Tina’s eyes sparkled with a touch of rebellion (叛逆)-“I love ice cream, and I thought the sun would look cool with sunglasses. Why do we always have to draw like everyone else?” Mary paused, her thoughts racing. Tina’s drawings weren’t just curious —they were a window into a world where imagination ruled, where rales could be bent into delightful chaos. Was she, by enforcing a rigid style, killing that very creativity? The next morning, Mary walked into the classroom with a renewed sense of purpose. She placed a large sheet of paper in front of the class and announced a new project: they would create a collective(集体的)artwork titled “Our Dream World” with no rules. They were free to use colors, shapes, and patterns however they wished. At first, the students hesitated, unsure of this newfound freedom.

Mary observed them with curiosity. She noticed how Akila, initially disinterested, had quietly chosen vibrant colors and was now blending them together to create a swirling sky filled with fantastical creatures that flew over a stone castle. Meanwhile, Tina was enthusiastically adding playful details to her section of the paper-a whimsical garden where flowers wore hats and creatures rested on the ice cream-topped trees. Mary felt a wave of relief washed over her. The room was alive with chatter and laughter, as Akila and Tina frequently exchanged ideas and inspired one another. Akila even leaned over to admire Tina’s ice cream trees and said, “That is mind-blowing!” It was wonderful to see them cooperate, their initial differences melting away in the warmth of shared creativity. Paragraph 2: Mary stood back and surveyed the creation. The enomious canvas had transformed into a magnificent portrayal of each student’s imagination, forming a breathtaking landscape that reflected their individuality yet spoke to their collective spirit. Mary felt a sense of pride swell within her; she realized that in letting go of rigid structures, her students gave their painting an unrealistic but dream-like quality. Akila, Tina, and the rest of the class had not only embraced their own creative paths but had also nurtured each other’s ideas. They were thrilled, “It was the best painting ever! We should definitely hang it on the wall!” Inspired by the moment, Mary decided to host an exhibition of their dream world, inviting parents and other classes to admire the beauty of imagination unleashed in her classroom. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述Mary是小学美术老师，一次课上，她发现Akila对画画不感兴趣，而Tina画得天马行空而遭到同学们的嘲笑，最后Mary意识到她限制了孩子们的想象力，所以第二天，Mary宣布将创作一个名为“我们的梦想世界”的集体艺术品，没有任何规则。孩子们可以随意使用颜色、形状和图案。一个接一个，孩子们开始作画了... 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“当学生们画画时，Mary好奇地看着他们”可以预测续写这段主要内容： 孩子们相互帮助完成画作。 ②由第二段首句内容“Mary退后一步，打量着创造的画作。”可以预测续写这段主要内容：Mary对他们的创造力感到惊讶，决定举办画展并邀请他们家长参与。 2.续写线索： Mary看孩子们作画——孩子们对作画表现出兴趣——相互帮助完成画作—— Mary对他们的创造力感到惊讶——决定举办画展 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①.鼓舞：inspire/motivate/encourage ②.欣赏： admire/appreciate ③.说：say/utter 情绪类 ①.热情地： enthusiastically/passionately ②.高兴的：thrilled/glad/delighted/happy 【点睛】[高分句型1].
