You can enjoy participating in activities, planning events, and partaking in arts and crafts. It’s one of the best summer jobs because it also builds your leadership skills while you earn extra money. Depending on your schedule, you can work to fit your needs. The average starting pay is $10.50 an hour. Lifeguard Spending time on the water is something many people do during the summer. And if you’re good at swimming, then being a lifeguard is a great option for you. The hours are flexible, and the pay is great, with the average hourly rate at $11.50. Amusement park employee An amusement park is a great place to work during the summertime. There are a variety of positions you can get hired for — from ride operator to food service to booth tender — and the average starting pay is $10 an hour. The hours are flexible and negotiable depending on where you decide to work: the larger the park, the more employees they’ll have, which could mean fewer hours they’ll need you to cover. Dog walker If you’re looking for a relaxing job, being a dog walker could be the right choice for you. Dog walking hours and pay are easily negotiable, as you can simply discuss with the dog’s owner what your availability is, when they need you, and what your pay rate is. Getting some exercise with a furry friend will feel more like a relaxing pastime than a job. And if you wish to continue being a dog walker, it’s the job that’s easiest to keep year-round. 1. What is the benefit of being a camp counsellor? A. It brings back the glory. B. It boosts artistic creativity. C. It develops competence in leadership. D. It is easy to do and well-paid. 2. For which job can the pay be negotiated? A. Camp counsellor. B. Lifeguard. C. Dog walker. D. Amusement park employee. 3. What do the four summer jobs have in common? A. They need full-time employees. B. They need relevant certificates. C. The pay remains unclear. D. The working hours are flexible. 【答案】1. C 2. C 3. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍四种可以赚钱又能休闲的暑期工作及其特点与薪资情况。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据Camp counsellor中的“It’s one of the best summer jobs because it also builds your leadership skills while you earn extra money. (这是最好的暑期工作之一，因为它能让你在赚取额外收入的同时培养领导能力)”可知，担任夏令营辅导员的好处是可以提升领导方面的能力。故选C项。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Dog walker中的“If you’re looking for a relaxing job, being a dog walker could be the right choice for you. Dog walking hours and pay are easily negotiable, as you can simply discuss with the dog’s owner what your availability is, when they need you, and what your pay rate is. (如果你正在寻找一份轻松的工作，遛狗可能是你的正确选择。遛狗的时间和报酬很容易协商，因为你可以简单地和狗的主人讨论一下你的时间，他们什么时候需要你，你的报酬是多少) ”可知，遛狗这份工作的报酬可以协商。故选C项。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据Camp counsellor部分中的“Depending on your schedule, you can work to fit your needs.(根据你的时间表，你可以根据自己的需要来工作)”，Lifeguard部分中的“The hours are flexible, (工作时间很灵活)”，Amusement park employee部分中的“The hours are flexible and negotiable depending on where you decide to work: the larger the park, the more employees they’ll have, which could mean fewer hours they’ll need you to cover.(工作时间是灵活的，可以协商的，这取决于你决定在哪里工作：公园越大，员工越多，这可能意味着他们需要你工作的时间越少)”和Dog walker部分中的“Dog walking hours and pay are easily negotiable, as you can simply discuss with the dog’s owner what your availability is, when they need you, and what your pay rate is.(遛狗的时间和报酬很容易协商，因为你可以简单地和狗的主人讨论一下你的时间，他们什么时候需要你，你的报酬是多少)”可知，每个职位描述都提到了工作时间的灵活性，由此可知，这四份暑期工作的共同点是工作时间灵活。故选D项。 B As a clueless freshman, I waltzed into my first creative writing course by accident, thinking it was a literature class on how to read stories, not how to write them. When the teacher introduced the course, I realized my mistake. The credits I earned from the course wouldn’t count toward my major. By the end of the session, however, I decided that I had to be a part of the course. Perhaps, as a lifelong reader, I was eager to understand how stories worked their magic. But taking the class would be impossible: I wasn’t even on the waitlist. That’s when the teacher asked for a volunteer to submit the first workshop story. Silence blanketed the room. No one risked eye contact. Whoever volunteered would have to write a whole story in a week. Perhaps they, like me, had never written one before. Seizing my chance, I raised my hand and asked, “If I go first, will you give me a place in the class?” He said he would. So, instead of keeping my head down and avoiding eye contact, I did the opposite. Years later, I’d completed a degree in creative writing and was working on a novel when a literary agent asked to read the first 50 pages of my draft. But I wasn’t comfortable showing her anything; the novel was far from done. Throughout graduate school, I’d been advised many times not to contact agents until I have a complete draft. In the meanwhile, I knew the beginning of my story was attractive and that the agent might not remember me after a year. So, once again, instead of keeping my head down and avoiding eye contact, I did the opposite. I sent her the first three chapters. A month later, she signed me on the strength of those chapters alone. She has since seen me through the publication of three novels. Reflecting on my journey, if I’d trained my gaze only on the path ahead, I would have missed so many happy accidents, so many beautiful opportunities to look up, raise my hand, and say yes. 4. What made the author finally decide to take the course? A. The popularity of the course. B. Her confidence in her writing skills. C. The need to get credits for her degree. D. Her curiosity about story writing. 5. The author volunteered to write the first workshop story to ________. A. challenge herself B. secure a spot in the class C. display her talent D. impress the teacher 6. The author sent her first three chapters to the agent because ________. A. her friends advised her to do so B. her story was attractive to readers C. she wanted to get the chance of publication D. the agent asked her to turn in the work 7. What does the passage mainly tell us? A. Chance favors only the prepared mind. B. Confidence leads to growth and fulfillment. C. Action speaks louder than words. D. Success comes to those who dare. 【答案】4. D 5. B 6. C 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要介绍的是作者如何通过勇敢抓住机会，从创意写作课程到成为成功的小说家的成长历程。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“By the end of the session, however, I decided that I had to be a part of the course. Perhaps, as a lifelong reader, I was eager to understand how stories worked their magic. (然而，在那堂课结束时，我决定自己必须成为这门课程的一部分。或许，作为一个终身读者，我渴望了解故事是如何施展其魔力的。)”可知，作者决定选修这门课程是源于作者对故事写作的好奇心和渴望。故选D。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“But taking the class would be impossible: I wasn’t even on the waitlist. That’s when the teacher asked for a volunteer to submit the first workshop story. (但参加这门课程是不可能的：我甚至都不在候补名单上。就在这时，老师要求一名志愿者提交第一篇工作坊故事。)”以及第五段中的“Seizing my chance, I raised my hand and asked,“If I go first, will you give me a place in the class?” He said he would. (我抓住机会，举手问道：“如果我第一个来，你会给我一个上课的名额吗?”他说他会。)”可知，作者自愿写第一个工作坊故事是为了获得一个上课的名额。故选B。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的“So, once again, instead of keeping my head down and avoiding eye contact, I did the opposite. I sent her the first three chapters. A month later, she signed me on the strength of those chapters alone. (所以，我再次没有低头避开眼神交流，而是反其道而行之。我给她发了前三章。一个月后，仅凭这三章她就与我签约了。)”可知，作者给代理人发前三章的目的是为了得到出版的机会。故选C。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段“Reflecting on my journey, if I’d trained my gaze only on the path ahead, I would have missed so many happy accidents, so many beautiful opportunities to look up, raise my hand, and say yes. (反思我的历程，如果我只盯着前方的道路，我就会错过许多意外的惊喜，许多抬头、举手、说“是”的美好机会。)”以及全文内容可知，文章讲述的是作者原本并不是为了写作而参加创意写作课程的，但她在课堂上勇敢地采取了行动，最终成为了一名小说家，这表明成功属于那些敢于尝试的人。故选D。 C On social media, reading has taken on new styles. Many readers now create colorful and detailed notes, known as marginalia (书页批注). These marks sometimes cover entire pages and may even match the color of a book’s cover. While some see this trend as creative and personal, others question whether writing in books is a bad habit or a useful practice. Yet marginalia are hardly a modern invention. From Leonardo da Vinci to modern writers, generations of readers have long left their thoughts in the margins. Such notes often provide valuable insights for later readers and occasionally reshape the understanding of the text. In recent years, bestselling novelist Ann Patchett released a special edition with notes of her novel Tom Lake to raise money for bookstores, showing how marginalia can generate cultural and financial value. Scientists have also examined the phenomenon scientifically. A study in Frontiers in Psychology recorded brain activity and found that writing by hand uses more parts of the brain than typing. This suggests that the physical act of writing, including marginalia, deepens memory and comprehension. Maryanne Wolf at UCLA further argued that making notes enables readers to go beyond the author’s ideas and discover their own understanding. In education, marginalia also plays a role. Turkish professor Demet Yayli observed that taking notes encourages deep reading, helps students clearly express their views, and strengthens their learning initiative. With greater autonomy, students are able to make decisions in learning and take responsibility for their progress, rather than wait for directions. Although note styles may appear unusual — underlining every line of a favorite character or marking romantic passages — experts agree that as long as the practice aids comprehension, any style is acceptable. Writing in the margins, far from being harmful, can personalize texts and enrich intellectual engagement. 8. According to the first paragraph, why has marginalia caused debate? A. It changes the appearance of the book. B. Books should follow trends. C. Readers enjoy colorful notes. D. Its true value is doubted. 9. Why was Leonardo da Vinci mentioned in paragraph 2? A. To explain marginalia is a bad habit. B. To show marginalia can create cultural value. C. To say marginalia is something time-honored. D. To prove books with marginalia tend to be expensive. 10. How did scientists examine the effects of handwriting? A. By comparing writing topics. B. By tracking brain activity. C. By collecting memory test scores. D. By recalling the author’s ideas. 11. What does the underlined word “initiative” in paragraph 4 most probably mean? A. Importance B. Curiosity C. Independence D. Creativity 【答案】8. D 9. C 10. B 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要探讨了社交媒体时代下阅读的新形式——书页批注(marginalia)，并从历史、科学研究及教育三个维度分析了其价值与意义。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“While some see this trend as creative and personal, others question whether writing in books is a bad habit or a useful practice. (虽然有些人认为这种趋势是创造性的和个性化的，但其他人质疑在书中写作是一种坏习惯还是一种有益的实践)”可知，书页批注会引起争论是因为它的真正价值被怀疑。故选D。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Yet marginalia are hardly a modern invention. From Leonardo da Vinci to modern writers, generations of readers have long left their thoughts in the margins. (然而，书页批注很难说是现代发明。从Leonardo da Vinci到现代作家，几代读者长期以来都把自己的想法留在书的空白处)”可知，在第二段作者提到了Leonardo da Vinci是为了说书页批注是历史悠久的。故选C。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“A study in Frontiers in Psychology recorded brain activity and found that writing by hand uses more parts of the brain than typing. (《心理学前沿》上的一项研究记录了大脑活动，发现手写比打字能调动大脑更多区域)”可知，科学家们通过追踪大脑活动来检验手写的影响。故选B。 【11题详解】 词句猜测题。根据最后一段“With greater autonomy, students are able to make decisions in learning and take responsibility for their progress, rather than wait for directions (学生们能够在学习过程中自主做出决策，并对自己的学习进展负责，而非坐等指示)”可知，做笔记能鼓励深度阅读，帮助学生清晰地表达自己的观点，并增强他们的学习自主性，划线词initiative的意思是“主动性，自主性”，和independence意思相近。故选C。 D It’s a problem that has annoyed many horror movie makeup artists: How do you give some the appearance of having a second head? Seemingly to fake out hunters, many butterflies have found their own solutions to this problem, with complicated patterns and structures on their wings that create what look like second heads on their backsides. Now, in a new study, researchers at the Indian Institutes of Science Education and Research (IISER) dive deeper into the origins of these “false heads”. Previous studies have shown these false heads help confuse hunters: Damage to the back end of a butterfly’s wings near the false head has less impact on vital behaviors such as flying and mating than damage to the butterfly’s real head. Scientists had long theorized that butterflies’ false heads arose because five key traits—namely false feelers, noticeable coloration, wing patterns that contain special lines, large spots, and headlike shapes—evolve together to redirect predator attention. But no one had traced the evolutionary history of these traits. Evolutionary ecologists at IISER began by analyzing images of nearly 1000 species of butterflies and marking how many of the false head traits each species exhibited. The researchers then constructed a phylogenetic tree (系统树), which allowed them to visualize how closely related false-headed species were to one another, as well as how each of the trait evolved over time. Computational modeling of this tree revealed that four of the five false head traits all evolved in a correlated manner, while also showing the order in which the traits first appeared within butterflies. The researchers propose that the separate traits integrated into a single, complex false head trait because of a common selective force: attacks from hunters. However, questions remain on the exact advantages that these distinctive defense mechanisms provide to the butterflies that use them. 12. Why is “makeup artist” mentioned in the first paragraph? A. To introduce an evolutionary trick. B. To illustrate a filming technique. C. To support a scientific theory. D. To justify a long-held assumption. 13. What might previous studies focus on? A. The development of the five traits. B. The defensive function of false heads. C. The special behaviors of butterflies. D. The evolution theories of butterflies. 14. What did IISER scientists do in the new study? A. They classified wing patterns of butterflies. B. They innovated methods of studying butterflies. C. They constructed the history of trait evolution. D. They analyzed the survival benefits of false heads. 15. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Do Key traits Enhance Insects’ Survival? B. Confused? Phylogenetic Tree Helps C. Does Evolution Reshape Butterflies’ Bodies? D. To Survive? Fake a Second Head 【答案】12. A 13. B 14. C 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇科普说明文。介绍蝴蝶“假头”特征的进化相关研究。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。第一段“It’s a problem that has annoyed many horror movie makeup artists: How do you give someone the appearance of having a second head? Seemingly to fake out hunters, many butterflies have found their own solutions to this problem, with complicated patterns and structures on their wings that create what look like second heads on their backsides. (“如何让演员看起来有第二个头”是恐怖片化妆师难题；为了迷惑捕食者，许多蝴蝶却自有解决办法——翅膀上复杂的图案和结构在后部形成看似第二个头的样子。)”可知，此处通过化妆师的难题与蝴蝶的“假头”现象类比，目的是引出蝴蝶的这一进化技巧。故选A项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。第二段“Previous studies have shown these false heads help confuse hunters: Damage to the back end of a butterfly’s wings near the false head has less impact on vital behaviors such as flying and mating than damage to the butterfly’s real head. (先前研究表明，这些假头有助于迷惑捕食者：翅膀后端靠近假头的受损对飞行、交配等关键行为的影响小于真头受损。)”可知，过去研究聚焦“假头的防御作用”。故选B项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Evolutionary ecologists at IISER began by analyzing images of nearly 1000 species of butterflies and marking how many of the false head traits each species exhibited. The researchers then constructed a phylogenetic tree, which allowed them to visualize how closely related false-headed species were to one another, as well as how each of the trait evolved over time. Computational modeling of this tree revealed that four of the five false head traits all evolved in a correlated manner. (IISER进化生态学者首先分析了近1000种蝴蝶的图像，并记录每个物种表现出的假头特征数量；随后构建系统树，直观展示假头物种之间的亲缘关系及各特征随时间的演化；对该树的计算模型显示，五项假头特征中有四项以协同方式演化。)”可知，这些科学家的核心工作是“重建特征进化历史”。故选C项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Now, in a new study, researchers at the Indian Institutes of Science Education and Research (IISER) dive deeper into the origins of these “false heads”. (现在，在一项新的研究中，印度科学教育与研究学院的研究人员更深入地探究了这些“假头”的起源。)”及全文可知，文章围绕“为生存而演化出假头”展开，D项直接点明主题，简洁醒目。故选D项。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Giving Old Buildings a New Life Walking through cities, we often see old buildings standing quietly.

(运用了动名词作主语) 第二节（满分25分） 47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。 Once upon a time, in a land far away, there was a small village in the heart of a big forest. Surrounded by the majestic (壮丽的) mountains, the villagers were accustomed to their daily routines, and none of them had any desire to learn or try something new — except for a girl named Hannah. Hannah was an adventurous spirit with an imagination far beyond her time. She loved to explore and would spend hours in the woods searching for new discoveries. She loved to create stories in her head and often imagined herself as one of the characters in them. One afternoon, while setting out on one of her adventurous quests, Hannah found a deserted cottage. As she opened the door, she was shocked: Before her was a room filled with books! Books, shining in the dust and basking in the warm sunlight, were just waiting to be explored. Hannah picked two books and decided to read them at home. On her way back, she encountered her friends and enthusiastically shared her find, but what greeted her was roars of laughter! Despite feeling confused and slightly hurt, she didn’t abandon her books. That evening, she immersed herself in the adventurous tales hidden within the covers. The following day, she hurriedly finished her breakfast and made her way back to the cottage. Hannah devoured (如饥似渴地看) the books. They were incredibly captivating (有吸引力的), filled with narratives about diverse creatures. Each page was just an adventure waiting to be undertaken. Hannah’s imagination transported her to a world of talking animals, mystical creatures and adventurous nights. She read about characters who challenged difficult times with their determination and characters who strove for good. The little girl was so inspired by the books that the characters became her mentors (导师). She not only learned about the power of love and friendship but also discovered that true strength lies within oneself. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 So Hannah decided to make a change. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Soon, word of Hannah’s storytelling spread to other villages. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 So, Hannah decided to make a change. She began to gather the village children under the old oak tree every evening, sharing the thrilling tales she had read from the cottage books. With vivid descriptions, she brought talking foxes and brave elves to life, making the kids’ eyes sparkle with wonder. At first, the adults laughed and shook their heads, but soon they found themselves lingering nearby, drawn to the magical stories. Hannah also invited everyone to visit the cottage, showing them that books were gateways to countless new worlds. Slowly, the villagers’ curiosity was sparked, and some even started asking her to read aloud for them too. Soon, word of Hannah’s storytelling spread to other villages.People from far and wide traveled to the small forest village, eager to listen to Hannah’s tales and explore the book-filled cottage. The once-deserted cottage was turned into a cozy reading corner, with villagers taking turns to clean and organize the books. Over time, the villagers who once hated new things began to embrace exploration — they started planting new crops, learning new crafts, and even sharing stories of their own. Hannah’s little act of courage not only changed her village but also created a bond of curiosity and friendship that stretched across the mountains. 【解析】 【导语】本文以“森林小屋的藏书”为线索展开，讲述了热爱冒险的女孩汉娜发现一间堆满书籍的废弃小屋，沉浸在书中的奇幻世界并深受启发，决心做出改变的故事。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ① 由第一段首句“所以，汉娜决定做出改变。”可知，接下来可描写汉娜的具体行动，她把从书中读到的奇幻故事分享给村民，尤其是村里的孩子们；面对村民最初的质疑和不解，她用生动的讲述吸引大家，慢慢改变村民不愿尝试新事物的心态。 ② 由第二段首句“不久，汉娜的故事传遍了其他村庄。”可知，接下来可描写故事传播后的影响，其他村庄的人慕名而来听汉娜讲故事，她还带着大家一起打理那间废弃小屋，将其改造成小书屋；村民们也渐渐变得愿意探索和学习，小村庄焕发出新的活力。 2.续写线索：汉娜决定分享书中故事 —— 用生动讲述吸引村民与孩子 —— 故事名声传到邻村，众人慕名来访 —— 改造废弃小屋为公共书屋 —— 村民观念改变，村庄焕发新活力 3.词汇激活： 行为类 ①召集，聚集：gather/assemble ②探索：explore/probe ③接纳：embrace/accept 情绪类 ①热切的：eager/keen ②勇敢的：brave/courageous 【点睛】【高分句型1】She began to gather the village children under the old oak tree every evening, sharing the thrilling tales she had read from the cottage books. （运用了省略关系代词that/which的定语从句） 【高分句型2】Hannah also invited everyone to visit the cottage, showing them that books were gateways to countless new worlds.（运用了that引导的宾语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2026届高三九校联合模拟考试 英语科试题 本试卷满分150分，考试时间120分钟。 注意事项： 1. 答卷前，考生务必将条形码粘贴在答题卡相应位置，并且把自己的姓名、准考证号填写在答题卡上。 2. 答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡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。答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡相应位置上。写在本试卷上无效。 3. 考试结束后，只上交答题卡，试卷不回收。 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。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.

You can enjoy participating in activities, planning events, and partaking in arts and crafts. It’s one of the best summer jobs because it also builds your leadership skills while you earn extra money. Depending on your schedule, you can work to fit your needs. The average starting pay is $10.50 an hour. Lifeguard Spending time on the water is something many people do during the summer. And if you’re good at swimming, then being a lifeguard is a great option for you. The hours are flexible, and the pay is great, with the average hourly rate at $11.50. Amusement park employee An amusement park is a great place to work during the summertime. There are a variety of positions you can get hired for — from ride operator to food service to booth tender — and the average starting pay is $10 an hour. The hours are flexible and negotiable depending on where you decide to work: the larger the park, the more employees they’ll have, which could mean fewer hours they’ll need you to cover. Dog walker If you’re looking for a relaxing job, being a dog walker could be the right choice for you. Dog walking hours and pay are easily negotiable, as you can simply discuss with the dog’s owner what your availability is, when they need you, and what your pay rate is. Getting some exercise with a furry friend will feel more like a relaxing pastime than a job. And if you wish to continue being a dog walker, it’s the job that’s easiest to keep year-round. 1. What is the benefit of being a camp counsellor? A. It brings back the glory. B. It boosts artistic creativity. C. It develops competence in leadership. D. It is easy to do and well-paid. 2. For which job can the pay be negotiated? A. Camp counsellor. B. Lifeguard. C. Dog walker. D. Amusement park employee. 3. What do the four summer jobs have in common? A. They need full-time employees. B. They need relevant certificates. C. The pay remains unclear. D. The working hours are flexible. B As a clueless freshman, I waltzed into my first creative writing course by accident, thinking it was a literature class on how to read stories, not how to write them. When the teacher introduced the course, I realized my mistake. The credits I earned from the course wouldn’t count toward my major. By the end of the session, however, I decided that I had to be a part of the course. Perhaps, as a lifelong reader, I was eager to understand how stories worked their magic. But taking the class would be impossible: I wasn’t even on the waitlist. That’s when the teacher asked for a volunteer to submit the first workshop story. Silence blanketed the room. No one risked eye contact. Whoever volunteered would have to write a whole story in a week. Perhaps they, like me, had never written one before. Seizing my chance, I raised my hand and asked, “If I go first, will you give me a place in the class?” He said he would. So, instead of keeping my head down and avoiding eye contact, I did the opposite. Years later, I’d completed a degree in creative writing and was working on a novel when a literary agent asked to read the first 50 pages of my draft. But I wasn’t comfortable showing her anything; the novel was far from done. Throughout graduate school, I’d been advised many times not to contact agents until I have a complete draft. In the meanwhile, I knew the beginning of my story was attractive and that the agent might not remember me after a year. So, once again, instead of keeping my head down and avoiding eye contact, I did the opposite. I sent her the first three chapters. A month later, she signed me on the strength of those chapters alone. She has since seen me through the publication of three novels. Reflecting on my journey, if I’d trained my gaze only on the path ahead, I would have missed so many happy accidents, so many beautiful opportunities to look up, raise my hand, and say yes. 4. What made the author finally decide to take the course? A. The popularity of the course. B. Her confidence in her writing skills. C. The need to get credits for her degree. D. Her curiosity about story writing. 5. The author volunteered to write the first workshop story to ________. A. challenge herself B. secure a spot in the class C. display her talent D. impress the teacher 6. The author sent her first three chapters to the agent because ________. A. her friends advised her to do so B. her story was attractive to readers C. she wanted to get the chance of publication D. the agent asked her to turn in the work 7. What does the passage mainly tell us? A. Chance favors only the prepared mind. B. Confidence leads to growth and fulfillment. C. Action speaks louder than words. D. Success comes to those who dare. C On social media, reading has taken on new styles. Many readers now create colorful and detailed notes, known as marginalia (书页批注). These marks sometimes cover entire pages and may even match the color of a book’s cover. While some see this trend as creative and personal, others question whether writing in books is a bad habit or a useful practice. Yet marginalia are hardly a modern invention. From Leonardo da Vinci to modern writers, generations of readers have long left their thoughts in the margins. Such notes often provide valuable insights for later readers and occasionally reshape the understanding of the text. In recent years, bestselling novelist Ann Patchett released a special edition with notes of her novel Tom Lake to raise money for bookstores, showing how marginalia can generate cultural and financial value. Scientists have also examined the phenomenon scientifically. A study in Frontiers in Psychology recorded brain activity and found that writing by hand uses more parts of the brain than typing. This suggests that the physical act of writing, including marginalia, deepens memory and comprehension. Maryanne Wolf at UCLA further argued that making notes enables readers to go beyond the author’s ideas and discover their own understanding. In education, marginalia also plays a role. Turkish professor Demet Yayli observed that taking notes encourages deep reading, helps students clearly express their views, and strengthens their learning initiative. With greater autonomy, students are able to make decisions in learning and take responsibility for their progress, rather than wait for directions. Although note styles may appear unusual — underlining every line of a favorite character or marking romantic passages — experts agree that as long as the practice aids comprehension, any style is acceptable. Writing in the margins, far from being harmful, can personalize texts and enrich intellectual engagement. 8. According to the first paragraph why has marginalia caused debate? A. It changes the appearance of the book. B. Books should follow trends. C. Readers enjoy colorful notes. D. Its true value is doubted. 9. Why was Leonardo da Vinci mentioned in paragraph 2? A. To explain marginalia is a bad habit. B. To show marginalia can create cultural value. C. To say marginalia is something time-honored. D. To prove books with marginalia tend to be expensive. 10. How did scientists examine the effects of handwriting? A. By comparing writing topics. B. By tracking brain activity. C. By collecting memory test scores. D. By recalling the author’s ideas. 11. What does the underlined word “initiative” in paragraph 4 most probably mean? A. Importance B. Curiosity C. Independence D. Creativity D It’s a problem that has annoyed many horror movie makeup artists: How do you give some the appearance of having a second head? Seemingly to fake out hunters, many butterflies have found their own solutions to this problem, with complicated patterns and structures on their wings that create what look like second heads on their backsides. Now, in a new study, researchers at the Indian Institutes of Science Education and Research (IISER) dive deeper into the origins of these “false heads”. Previous studies have shown these false heads help confuse hunters: Damage to the back end of a butterfly’s wings near the false head has less impact on vital behaviors such as flying and mating than damage to the butterfly’s real head. Scientists had long theorized that butterflies’ false heads arose because five key traits—namely false feelers, noticeable coloration, wing patterns that contain special lines, large spots, and headlike shapes—evolve together to redirect predator attention. But no one had traced the evolutionary history of these traits. Evolutionary ecologists at IISER began by analyzing images of nearly 1000 species of butterflies and marking how many of the false head traits each species exhibited. The researchers then constructed a phylogenetic tree (系统树), which allowed them to visualize how closely related false-headed species were to one another, as well as how each of the trait evolved over time. Computational modeling of this tree revealed that four of the five false head traits all evolved in a correlated manner, while also showing the order in which the traits first appeared within butterflies. The researchers propose that the separate traits integrated into a single, complex false head trait because of a common selective force: attacks from hunters. However, questions remain on the exact advantages that these distinctive defense mechanisms provide to the butterflies that use them. 12. Why is “makeup artist” mentioned in the first paragraph? A.

Surrounded by the majestic (壮丽的) mountains, the villagers were accustomed to their daily routines, and none of them had any desire to learn or try something new — except for a girl named Hannah. Hannah was an adventurous spirit with an imagination far beyond her time. She loved to explore and would spend hours in the woods searching for new discoveries. She loved to create stories in her head and often imagined herself as one of the characters in them. One afternoon, while setting out on one of her adventurous quests, Hannah found a deserted cottage. As she opened the door, she was shocked: Before her was a room filled with books! Books, shining in the dust and basking in the warm sunlight, were just waiting to be explored. Hannah picked two books and decided to read them at home. On her way back, she encountered her friends and enthusiastically shared her find, but what greeted her was roars of laughter! Despite feeling confused and slightly hurt, she didn’t abandon her books. That evening, she immersed herself in the adventurous tales hidden within the covers. The following day, she hurriedly finished her breakfast and made her way back to the cottage. Hannah devoured (如饥似渴地看) the books. They were incredibly captivating (有吸引力的), filled with narratives about diverse creatures. Each page was just an adventure waiting to be undertaken. Hannah’s imagination transported her to a world of talking animals, mystical creatures and adventurous nights. She read about characters who challenged difficult times with their determination and characters who strove for good. The little girl was so inspired by the books that the characters became her mentors (导师). She not only learned about the power of love and friendship but also discovered that true strength lies within oneself. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 So, Hannah decided to make a change. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Soon, word of Hannah’s storytelling spread to other villages. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
