In 1969, I was five years old in Lynchburg, Virginia, a skinny black kid of somewhat poor village. At that time, what my villagers were watching was “one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind — Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin were walking on the Moon.” I always joined them with great interest. My father was a farmer who worked from dawn until dark, struggling to feed my family. But he always took pains to do all the things to make money for his children to experience different adventures and encourage us to run after our own dreams. After Neil Armstrong’s moon landing, all the kids in the neighborhood thought I would be an astronaut one day. But I didn’t see an astronaut like me, because family background did matter. I went on with this dream through a high school, and even a college. After graduation, I went to work for NASA. A friend of mine handed me an application and believed that I would be a great astronaut. Although I was lucky enough to be chosen, I didn’t know what it meant to be a real astronaut. In 2007, I was in Space Shuttle “Atlantis,” careening off the planet, traveling at 17,500 miles per hour, and eight and a half minutes later, the main engines cut off, and we were floating in space. My job on this mission was to install(安装) a laboratory for materials and human research, which the European team have been waiting for 10 year. I grabbed out the big module, using the robotic arm and attaching it to the space station. So, this moment happened. It was done and I had a big sigh of relief. In the space station, I could communicate with different people from all around the world. We had these people living and working together. Whether Russian or French, all these different people coexisted in harmony as one family. And so, when I looked up to space, I thought we all had to hold onto something until we finally came to the fantastic space. 4 Why did the author think it impossible to be an astronaut at first? A. He was a farmer. B. His family was poor. C. He was too young. D. His father was too tired. 5. What does the underlined phrase “careening off’ probably mean in paragraph 3? A. Thinking back to. B. Looking out of. C. Taking pictures of. D. Flying away from. 6. What can the author’s job be described as according to paragraph 4? A. Demanding and challenging. B. Rewarding and boring. C. Satisfying and motivating. D. Promising and amazing. 7 What message does the author want to express? A. Everyone is likely to become an astronaut. B. Parents are the best examples of their children. C. Different people can coexist in harmony as one family. D. Everyone should hold onto his dream, whether rich or poor. Anyone who uses the ChatGPT website can ask the chatbot questions on any topic and get a speedy, detailed response in paragraph form. The website lists ChatGPT’s positive features as its ability to “remember what users said earlier in conversation” and allow users to provide follow-up corrections”, and how it’s trained to “decline inappropriate requests”. The company OpenAI is honest about some of the technology’s flaws. According to its website, the chatbot occasionally “generates incorrect information” and “produces harmful instructions or prejudiced content”. It lists a third question: having “limited knowledge of the world and events after 2021”. The New York City Department of Education banned the use of ChatGPT this month on devices and networks owned by schools across the state. The department mentioned concerns from local school teachers about student success. Oakland Unified School District in California and Seattle Public Schools have moved against ChatGPT, because it creates human-like responses that can be difficult to detect. Other large school systems including Miami-Dade County and Houston haven’t banned ChatGPT so far. Universities including Princeton are refusing to ban the chatbot; instead, they are advising professors to set their own rules. Blocking a particular platform may be far less effective than schools think. “If students are not using it in their classes, they can use it at home or on their personal devices,” said Adam Phyall, an education technology expert. “Are we going to have a conversation about how we are going to unblock it? Or is it going to be: If we’re scared, let’s give it up and move onto the next thing? Instead, schools could use ChatGPT to teach kids how to improve their writing, for instance,” he said. An OpenAI spokesperson said the company wants to help schools with their concerns and that users should reasonably use their AI-generated text. The company is hoping to work on a system for teachers to check whether students have used ChatGPT to cheat. 8. What does the underlined word “flaws” in Paragraph 2 mean? A. Functions. B. Faults. C. Principles. D. Applications. 9. What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about? A. Wide use of ChatGPT in schools. B. Mixed reactions to ChatGPT. C. Barriers to ChatGPT’s promotion. D. Concerns arising from ChatGPT. 10. What is Adam Phyall’s attitude to banning ChatGPT in schools? A. Favourable. B. Unclear. C. Disapproving. D. Cautious. 11. What is OpenAI likely to do next according to the passage? A. Train more teachers to use ChatGPT. B. Introduce ChatGPT to more schools. C. Set limitations on the use of ChatGPT. D. Help educators identify ChatGPT texts. At top universities, there’s a phenomenon known as “Stanford Duck Syndrome (综合征)”. Like ducks, students appear to move gracefully (优雅地). However, beneath the surface, they’re kicking desperately to keep up. Experts from Stanford’s Health Services uncovered this troubling trend: during the day, many Stanford students are seen socializing in cafés, seemingly without any stress or the need to study. However, at night, they start studying, sometimes for the entire night, trying to maintain the image of effortless success. This comes at a high price: tiredness and anxiety are widespread. Furthermore, it leads to a common misconception: true geniuses achieve success with ease, while those working hard are less capable. In an effort to challenge this misconception, researchers designed an experiment. Participants were asked to observe a series of colors carefully while scientists tracked their brain activity throughout the process. The experiment was divided into two parts: one with easily distinguishable colors and the other with colors that were quite similar, requiring more effort to differentiate. As the difficulty of the task increased, there was a noticeable increase in brain activity, particularly in areas linked to memory and abstract reasoning. The study reveals that as tasks require more effort, more areas of the brain become engaged. Growth doesn’t come from talent alone but from the consistent application of effort. Our brain functions like a muscle. Without effort, even our inborn talents will fade over time. This pushes us to reconsider the underlying culture that might lead to this phenomenon. Instead of focusing too much on outcomes or singing high praise for inborn talents, we should emphasize the learning process and continuous improvement. By encouraging a culture that values effort, we can help students realize that intelligence is not fixed but grows through hard work. Such a shift would not only reduce the pressures associated with the “Stanford Duck Syndrome”, but also have a profound impact on personal development and the future of education. 12. What phenomenon does the “Stanford Duck Syndrome” probably describe? A. Prioritizing effort over well-being. B. Relieving stress through social activities. C. Displaying graceful images to attract others. D. Hiding hard work to appear naturally gifted. 13. How does the experiment in paragraph 3 challenge the misconception? A. By showing effort fuels the brain activity. B. By proving focus enhances brain function. C. By linking color recognition to intelligence. D. By associating careful observation with talent. 14. What is the author’s main concern about “Stanford Duck Syndrome”? A. It values the learning process over outcomes. B. It causes stress and false ideas about success. C. It prevents students from recognizing their talents. D. It makes students prioritize socializing over studying. 15. Which of the following might the author agree with? A. Fortune favors those with a clear vision. B. Sweat is the ink that writes a masterpiece. C. Work in silence and let success make the noise. D. Keep moving forward even when no one sees it. 第二节（共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读短文，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。 Ways-to Build Stronger Relationships We all have relationships. ____16____ However for a large percentage of us, many of these relationships are simply not satisfying.

After a quick breakfast, he hopped along the street like a happy bird, greeted and repeated the words to those he met. When he came back, his father gave him 50 dollars, saying he could buy whatever he had been wishing for. His face lighted up as he took them. He had wished for a long time to buy some interesting books that he had seen at the bookstore located near the river through the city. He thanked his father and danced out of the house again with a light heart, intending to buy those books. As he ran down the street, he noticed a poor family, the father, the mother, and three children shivering with cold in the winter wind. “I wish you a happy New Year,” cried Edward, as he was happily passing on. The man took a look at the happy boy and shook his head sadly. Edward stopped and said, “It seems that you do not belong to this country.” The man again shook his head, a confused expression flashed over his face, for he could not understand or speak English. But the poor man pointed to his dry mouth, and to the children with hungry looks, as if to say, “These little ones have had nothing to eat for a long time.” Edward quickly realized that these poor people were in distress (贫困). 注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 He took out his dollars, and gave them all to the man. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ “My dear boy,” said his father, “Here are a dozen of books for you.” ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 江苏省梅村高级中学空港分校2025-2026学年度第一学期期中检测 高二英语 时间：120分钟 满分：150分 2025.11 一、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.

A friend of mine handed me an application and believed that I would be a great astronaut. Although I was lucky enough to be chosen, I didn’t know what it meant to be a real astronaut. In 2007, I was in Space Shuttle “Atlantis,” careening off the planet, traveling at 17,500 miles per hour, and eight and a half minutes later, the main engines cut off, and we were floating in space. My job on this mission was to install(安装) a laboratory for materials and human research, which the European team have been waiting for 10 year. I grabbed out the big module, using the robotic arm and attaching it to the space station. So, this moment happened. It was done and I had a big sigh of relief. In the space station, I could communicate with different people from all around the world. We had these people living and working together. Whether Russian or French, all these different people coexisted in harmony as one family. And so, when I looked up to space, I thought we all had to hold onto something until we finally came to the fantastic space. 4. Why did the author think it impossible to be an astronaut at first? A. He was a farmer. B. His family was poor. C. He was too young. D. His father was too tired. 5. What does the underlined phrase “careening off’ probably mean in paragraph 3? A. Thinking back to. B. Looking out of. C. Taking pictures of. D. Flying away from. 6. What can the author’s job be described as according to paragraph 4? A. Demanding and challenging. B. Rewarding and boring. C. Satisfying and motivating. D. Promising and amazing. 7. What message does the author want to express? A. Everyone is likely to become an astronaut. B. Parents are the best examples of their children. C. Different people can coexist in harmony as one family. D. Everyone should hold onto his dream, whether rich or poor. 【答案】4. B 5. D 6. A 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了作者坚持自己的梦想，当上了宇航员 【4题详解】 推理判断题，根据文章第二段的“My father was a farmer who worked from dawn until dark, struggling to feed my family. But he always took pains to do all the things to make money for his children to experience different adventures and encourage us to run after our own dreams. After Neil Armstrong’s moon landing, all the kids in the neighborhood thought I would be an astronaut one day. But I didn’t see an astronaut like me, because family background did matter. (我的父亲是一个农民，他从早到晚地工作，努力养活我的家人。但他总是不厌其烦地做所有的事情来赚钱，让他的孩子体验不同的冒险，并鼓励我们追逐自己的梦想。在尼尔·阿姆斯特朗登月后，社区里所有的孩子都认为我有一天会成为宇航员。但是我没有看到像我这样的宇航员，因为家庭背景确实很重要。)”可推断，作者的家庭很贫穷，父亲需要辛苦工作才能养家，作者认为成为宇航员家庭背景很重要，因此推断最初作者认为自己成为宇航员是不可能的，因为他的家庭很穷。故选B。 【5题详解】 猜测词义题，根据文章第三段划线词所在句“In 2007, I was in Space Shuttle “Atlantis,” careening off the planet, traveling at 17,500 miles per hour, and eight and a half minutes later, the main engines cut off, and we were floating in space. (2007年，我乘坐“亚特兰蒂斯”号航天飞机，以每小时17500英里的速度careening off地球，八分半钟后，主发动机关闭，我们漂浮在太空中。)”可推断，“亚特兰蒂斯”号航天飞机飞离地球后八分半钟，主发动机关闭，作者一行漂浮在太空中，因此careening off的意思是“飞离”。故选D。 【6题详解】 推理判断题，根据文章第四段“My job on this mission was to install(安装) a laboratory for materials and human research, which the European team have been waiting for 10 year. I grabbed out the big module, using the robotic arm and attaching it to the space station. So, this moment happened. It was done and I had a big sigh of relief.(我在这次任务中的工作是安装一个用于材料和人类研究的实验室，欧洲团队已经等待了10年，我用机械臂取出大模块，并将其连接到空间站。于是，这一刻发生了，完成后，我大大松了一口气。)”可推断，作者的工作要求高，具有挑战性。故选A。 【7题详解】 推理判断题，根据文章最后一段“And so, when I looked up to space, I thought we all had to hold onto something until we finally came to the fantastic space. (因此，当我仰望大空时，我认为我们都必须抓住一些东西，直到我们最终来到这个奇妙的空间。)”以及全文内容可知，作者通过讲述自己追梦的经历，想表达的是每个人都应该坚持自己的梦想，无论是富人还是穷人。故选D。 Anyone who uses the ChatGPT website can ask the chatbot questions on any topic and get a speedy, detailed response in paragraph form. The website lists ChatGPT’s positive features as its ability to “remember what users said earlier in conversation” and allow users to provide follow-up corrections”, and how it’s trained to “decline inappropriate requests”. The company OpenAI is honest about some of the technology’s flaws. According to its website, the chatbot occasionally “generates incorrect information” and “produces harmful instructions or prejudiced content”. It lists a third question: having “limited knowledge of the world and events after 2021”. The New York City Department of Education banned the use of ChatGPT this month on devices and networks owned by schools across the state. The department mentioned concerns from local school teachers about student success. Oakland Unified School District in California and Seattle Public Schools have moved against ChatGPT, because it creates human-like responses that can be difficult to detect. Other large school systems including Miami-Dade County and Houston haven’t banned ChatGPT so far. Universities including Princeton are refusing to ban the chatbot; instead, they are advising professors to set their own rules. Blocking a particular platform may be far less effective than schools think. “If students are not using it in their classes, they can use it at home or on their personal devices,” said Adam Phyall, an education technology expert. “Are we going to have a conversation about how we are going to unblock it? Or is it going to be: If we’re scared, let’s give it up and move onto the next thing? Instead, schools could use ChatGPT to teach kids how to improve their writing, for instance,” he said. An OpenAI spokesperson said the company wants to help schools with their concerns and that users should reasonably use their AI-generated text. The company is hoping to work on a system for teachers to check whether students have used ChatGPT to cheat. 8. What does the underlined word “flaws” in Paragraph 2 mean? A. Functions. B. Faults. C. Principles. D. Applications. 9. What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about? A. Wide use of ChatGPT in schools. B. Mixed reactions to ChatGPT. C. Barriers to ChatGPT’s promotion. D. Concerns arising from ChatGPT. 10. What is Adam Phyall’s attitude to banning ChatGPT in schools? A. Favourable. B. Unclear. C. Disapproving. D. Cautious. 11. What is OpenAI likely to do next according to the passage? A. Train more teachers to use ChatGPT. B. Introduce ChatGPT to more schools. C. Set limitations on the use of ChatGPT. D. Help educators identify ChatGPT texts. 【答案】8. B 9. B 10. C 11. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章列举了ChatGPT的优缺点以及人们对ChatGPT的不同评价。 【8题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第二段的“The company OpenAI is honest about some of...（OpenAI公司在……上是诚实的）”和“According to its website, the chatbot occasionally “generates incorrect information” and “produces harmful instructions or prejudiced content”. It lists a third question: having “limited knowledge of the world and events after 2021”. (根据其网站，聊天机器人偶尔会“产生不正确的信息”和“产生有害的指令或偏见的内容”。它列出了第三个问题：“对2021年后的世界和事件了解有限”。)”可知，此处是说聊天机器人还存在一些缺陷，所以，划线单词flaws的意义为“缺陷”，与faults意义相近。故选B。 【9题详解】 段落大意题。根据第三段的“The New York City Department of Education banned the use of ChatGPT this month on devices and networks owned by schools across the state. The department mentioned concerns from local school teachers about student success. Oakland Unified School District in California and Seattle Public Schools have moved against ChatGPT, because it creates human-like responses that can be difficult to detect. Other large school systems including Miami-Dade County and Houston haven’t banned ChatGPT so far. Universities including Princeton are refusing to ban the chatbot; instead, they are advising professors to set their own rules. (纽约市教育部门本月禁止在全州学校拥有的设备和网络上使用ChatGPT。该部门提到了当地学校教师对学生成功的担忧。加州奥克兰联合学区和西雅图公立学校已经开始反对ChatGPT，因为它会产生类似人类的反应，很难被发现。到目前为止，包括迈阿密戴德县和休斯敦在内的其他大型学校系统还没有禁止ChatGPT。包括普林斯顿大学在内的大学拒绝禁止聊天机器人；相反，他们建议教授们制定自己的规则。)”可知，第三段主要讲的是对ChatGPT的评价是褒贬不一的。故选A。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段的““If students are not using it in their classes, they can use it at home or on their personal devices,” said Adam Phyall, “an education technology expert. Are we going to have a conversation about how we’re going to unblock it? Or is it going to be: If we’re scared, let’s give it up and move onto the next thing? Instead, schools could use ChatGPT to teach kids how to improve their writing, for instance,” he said. (教育技术专家Adam Phyall说：“如果学生在课堂上不使用它，他们可以在家里或个人设备上使用”。他说，“我们会就如何解锁它进行对话吗？或者如果我们害怕，让我们放弃它，转而做下一件事？相反，学校可以使用ChatGPT来教孩子们如何提高写作水平”。)”可知，Adam Phyall对禁止在学校使用ChatGPT持不赞成态度。故选C。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段的“An OpenAI spokesperson said the company wants to help schools with their concerns and that users should reasonably use their Al-generated text. The company is working on a system for teachers to check whether students have used ChatGPT to cheat. (OpenAI的一位发言人表示，该公司希望帮助学校解决他们的担忧，用户应该合理使用Al生成的文本。该公司正在开发一个系统，供教师检查学生是否使用ChatGPT作弊。)”可知，OpenAI下一步可能会帮助教育工作者识别ChatGPT文章。故选D。 At top universities, there’s a phenomenon known as “Stanford Duck Syndrome (综合征)”. Like ducks, students appear to move gracefully (优雅地). However, beneath the surface, they’re kicking desperately to keep up. Experts from Stanford’s Health Services uncovered this troubling trend: during the day, many Stanford students are seen socializing in cafés, seemingly without any stress or the need to study. However, at night, they start studying, sometimes for the entire night, trying to maintain the image of effortless success. This comes at a high price: tiredness and anxiety are widespread. Furthermore, it leads to a common misconception: true geniuses achieve success with ease, while those working hard are less capable. In an effort to challenge this misconception, researchers designed an experiment. Participants were asked to observe a series of colors carefully while scientists tracked their brain activity throughout the process. The experiment was divided into two parts: one with easily distinguishable colors and the other with colors that were quite similar, requiring more effort to differentiate. As the difficulty of the task increased, there was a noticeable increase in brain activity, particularly in areas linked to memory and abstract reasoning. The study reveals that as tasks require more effort, more areas of the brain become engaged. Growth doesn’t come from talent alone but from the consistent application of effort. Our brain functions like a muscle. Without effort, even our inborn talents will fade over time. This pushes us to reconsider the underlying culture that might lead to this phenomenon. Instead of focusing too much on outcomes or singing high praise for inborn talents, we should emphasize the learning process and continuous improvement. By encouraging a culture that values effort, we can help students realize that intelligence is not fixed but grows through hard work. Such a shift would not only reduce the pressures associated with the “Stanford Duck Syndrome”, but also have a profound impact on personal development and the future of education. 12. What phenomenon does the “Stanford Duck Syndrome” probably describe? A. Prioritizing effort over well-being. B. Relieving stress through social activities. C. Displaying graceful images to attract others. D. Hiding hard work to appear naturally gifted. 13. How does the experiment in paragraph 3 challenge the misconception? A. By showing effort fuels the brain activity. B. By proving focus enhances brain function. C. By linking color recognition to intelligence. D. By associating careful observation with talent. 14. What is the author’s main concern about “Stanford Duck Syndrome”? A. It values the learning process over outcomes. B. It causes stress and false ideas about success. C. It prevents students from recognizing their talents. D. It makes students prioritize socializing over studying. 15. Which of the following might the author agree with? A. Fortune favors those with a clear vision. B. Sweat is the ink that writes a masterpiece. C. Work in silence and let success make the noise. D. Keep moving forward even when no one sees it. 【答案】12. D 13. A 14. B 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了“斯坦福鸭子综合征”现象及其影响，并强调努力的重要性。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。由文章第一段“At top universities, there’s a phenomenon known as “Stanford Duck Syndrome (综合征)”. Like ducks, students appear to move gracefully (优雅地). However, beneath the surface, they’re kicking desperately to keep up. (在顶尖大学中，有一种被称为“斯坦福鸭子综合征”的现象。就像鸭子一样，学生们表面上看起来行动优雅。然而，在水面之下，他们正拼命划水以跟上节奏。)”和第二段中“Experts from Stanford’s Health Services uncovered this troubling trend: during the day, many Stanford students are seen socializing in cafés, seemingly without any stress or the need to study. However, at night, they start studying, sometimes for the entire night, trying to maintain the image of effortless success. (斯坦福大学健康服务的专家揭示了这一令人担忧的趋势：白天，许多斯坦福学生被看到在咖啡馆里社交，似乎没有任何压力或学习的需求。然而，到了晚上，他们开始学习，有时甚至通宵达旦，试图维持那种毫不费力的成功形象。)”可知，“斯坦福鸭子综合征”描述的是学生们表面上看起来轻松优雅，实际上却在背后拼命努力，以维持自己轻松成功的形象。即隐藏努力工作以显得天生聪明。故选D。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第三段中“As the difficulty of the task increased, there was a noticeable increase in brain activity, particularly in areas linked to memory and abstract reasoning. (随着任务难度的增加，大脑活动明显增加，特别是在与记忆和抽象推理相关的区域。)”和第四段中“The study reveals that as tasks require more effort, more areas of the brain become engaged. (这项研究表明，随着任务需要更多的努力，大脑更多的区域会变得活跃。)”可知，实验通过展示任务难度增加时，大脑活动特别是与记忆和抽象推理相关的区域活动明显增加，来挑战“天才轻松成功，努力者能力不足”的误解，证明了努力会激发大脑活动。故选A。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第二段中“This comes at a high price: tiredness and anxiety are widespread. Furthermore, it leads to a common misconception: true geniuses achieve success with ease, while those working hard are less capable. (这付出了高昂的代价：疲惫和焦虑普遍存在。此外，这还导致了一个常见的误解：真正的天才能够轻松取得成功，而那些努力的人则能力较差。)”可知，作者对“斯坦福鸭子综合征”的主要担忧是它导致学生产生对成功的错误观念，即认为真正的天才能够轻松取得成功，而努力工作的人则能力较差。故选B。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。由文章倒数第二段中“Growth doesn’t come from talent alone but from the consistent application of effort. Our brain functions like a muscle. Without effort, even our inborn talents will fade over time. (成长不仅仅来自天赋，还来自持续的努力。我们的大脑就像肌肉一样。如果不努力，即使我们天生的才能也会随着时间的推移而消退。)”和“By encouraging a culture that values effort, we can help students realize that intelligence is not fixed but grows through hard work. (通过鼓励一种重视努力的文化，我们可以帮助学生认识到智力不是固定的，而是可以通过努力工作得到发展的。)”可知，作者认为成长不仅来自天赋，还来自持续的努力，大脑就像肌肉一样，如果不努力，即使天生的才能也会随时间消退，鼓励重视努力的文化可以帮助学生意识到智力不是固定的，而是通过努力工作成长的。因此，作者可能会同意“汗水是书写杰作的墨水”这一观点，即努力是取得成功的关键。故选B。 第二节（共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读短文，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。 Ways-to Build Stronger Relationships We all have relationships. ____16____ However, for a large percentage of us, many of these relationships are simply not satisfying.

Tell people what you experienced and give others a chance to know what you care about and what you believe in. If they believe and care in the same things, they’ll eagerly let you know. ____18____ ◎Express weakness. ____19____ However, by hiding your imperfections, what you do succeed in is appearing cold. Humans connect with other humans; not with ideals (完美的人). Keep this in mind. Don’t be afraid to let your weakness and your humanity show. This is what takes a relationship to the next level. ◎____20____ Connections between people grow stronger, if they can depend on each other for support when it’s needed. Don’t care whether it means a few kind words or several great actions. Your support will help them practically, and it will comfort them spiritually. A. Be there for others. B. Offer comforting words. C. Many people try to come off as perfect. D. But it’s hard for everyone to connect with you. E. So you’ll find common ground and you’ll feel more connected. F.

If they believe and care in the same things, they’ll eagerly let you know.(告诉人们你的经历，给别人机会了解你关心和相信的事情。如果他们在相同的事情上有相同的信念和关心，他们会很乐意让你知道)”可知，此处讲述了与他人交往的方式，告诉他人你的经历，信仰和关心的事情，他人也愿意告诉你他们的，因此推断E选项“所以你会找到共同点，并且会感觉联系更紧密”符合语境，顺承前文，说明当双方有相同信念和关心时会找到共同点，联系更紧密，故选E。 【19题详解】 后文提到“However, by hiding your imperfections, what you do succeed in is appearing cold. (然而，通过隐藏你的不完美，你成功做到的只是显得冷漠)”说明隐藏不完美只会让你显得冷漠，C选项“很多人试图表现得完美”引出后文关于隐藏不完美所带来结果的论述，符合语境，故选C。 【20题详解】 空格处是段落主题。根据后文“Connections between people grow stronger, if they can depend on each other for support when it’s needed.

He wanted to be the first to wish a happy New Year to his family. He turned up at every door of the house, and shouted the words of “Happy New Year” in an excited voice. After a quick breakfast, he hopped along the street like a happy bird, greeted and repeated the words to those he met. When he came back, his father gave him 50 dollars, saying he could buy whatever he had been wishing for. His face lighted up as he took them. He had wished for a long time to buy some interesting books that he had seen at the bookstore located near the river through the city. He thanked his father and danced out of the house again with a light heart, intending to buy those books. As he ran down the street, he noticed a poor family, the father, the mother, and three children shivering with cold in the winter wind. “I wish you a happy New Year,” cried Edward, as he was happily passing on. The man took a look at the happy boy and shook his head sadly. Edward stopped and said, “It seems that you do not belong to this country.” The man again shook his head, a confused expression flashed over his face, for he could not understand or speak English. But the poor man pointed to his dry mouth, and to the children with hungry looks, as if to say, “These little ones have had nothing to eat for a long time.” Edward quickly realized that these poor people were in distress (贫困). 注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 He took out his dollars, and gave them all to the man. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ “My dear boy,” said his father, “Here are a dozen of books for you.” ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 He took out his dollars, and gave them all to the man. The man was so moved that he stood there, failing to say any words. A bright smile spread across the man’s face. He smiled back at the father, waved goodbye to the family and went home delightedly. When Edward came home, his father asked what book he had bought. He hung his head a moment, but quickly looked up. “I have bought no books,” he said. “I gave my money to a poor family, who seemed to be badly in need of help. I think I can wait for my books until next New Year.” “My dear boy,” said his father, “Here are a dozen of books for you.” Edward can’t believe it! “I give them to you, more as a reward for your goodness of heart than as a New Year gift. Always be ready to help people around you!” his father added. Holding the books, Edward felt they were the best gift in the world. 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，以人物为线索。新年的早晨，Edward收到了父亲给的50美元，准备去买梦寐以求的书，但他碰到需要帮助的一家人，于是慷慨地把钱给了他们。回到家他向父亲解释了经过，父亲送他一些书作为他善举的奖励，鼓励他继续乐于助人。Edward感到非常幸福。 【详解】1. 续写线索： ①由续写第一段首句“他拿出他的美元，都给了那个男人。”可知，第一段可以描写Edward把本应该用来买书的钱送给了这家的父亲，回到家面对父亲的询问，他解释了原因。 ②由续写第二段首句““我亲爱的孩子，”爸爸说，“这里有一打书给你。””可知，第二段可以描写父亲送给Edward一些书作为对他行为的奖励，Edward感到很幸福。 2. 段落续写：把钱送给那个男人——男人非常感动——Edward空手回家——向父亲解释没买书的原因——父亲送书作为奖励——Edward感到幸福 3. 词汇激活： 行为类 ①挥手告别：wave goodbye/wave farewell ②购买：buy/purchase ③帮助：help/assist 情绪类 ①感动的：moved/touched ②高兴地：delightedly/in delight/happily 【点睛】【高分句型1】The man was so moved that he stood there, failing to say any words.(使用了so…that…引导结果状语从句、现在分词作状语) 【高分句型2】I gave my money to a poor family, who seemed to be badly in need of help.
