It was comforting to think that at the very least I was finally out of cell-phone range. However, even on Kauai, Hawaii’s ‘Garden Island’, complete escape wasn’t all that easy to achieve. Noisy helicopters full of tourists flew overhead like so many dragonflies. Every 20 minutes or so the comforting sounds of wind and water were broken by the noise of a speeding tour boat racing to complete another lap around the island. Worst of all, not more than five minutes by car from the resort where I was staying, the Atomic Clock Internet Café signaled with promises of instant email. I felt uncomfortable every time I drove by the Atomic Clock Café. I am a technology reporter for an online magazine—my life is driven and dominated by email. I’m drowned in it, usually 400 or 500 messages a day. The main reason for my visit to Kauai was to unplug, disconnect, log off, and get away from it all. No cell phone, no electronic organiser, no laptop. And definitely, no email. Yes, my plan was to lie on the beach and not check my email. My friends and family were outraged as they could not understand how I could bear to live without email. But they didn’t understand. In my job, I am online, permanently. Cyberspace is more familiar to me than my backyard. While I am awake, my email is always on. I don’t like to be without it for too long. A few hours away from it, and I start to tremble. I am, however, no stranger to beaches and their relaxing qualities and so I knew, even when arriving well after dark at the comfortable cottage in the town of Waimea, that the island of Kauai gave me a good chance of beating my addiction to electronic devices. Maybe it was full moon lighting the black-sand beach not 10 metres from my door. Or the mango trees casting shadows across the veranda ( 阳 台 ). Or the driftwood piled in loose heaps for as far as I could see along the shore. Without question, the long, slow sound of the waves rolling in calmed my restless soul, and I found I could, in fact, log off. 4. Why did the writer come to Kauai? A. To get away from the modern technology. B. To work for the Atomic Clock Internet Café. C. To write reports on technological development. D. To find whether there is an alternative to email. 5. What can we learn about the writer? A. He wrote articles about resorts around the world. B. He enjoyed beach activities like boat racing. C. He was eager to work in his backyard. D. He spent much time working online. 6. The word “outraged” (paragraph 4) is closest in meaning to “ ”. A. relieved B. shocked C. amused D. offended 7. The writer described the scenery in the last paragraph in order to . A. argue against his friends’ doubt of Kauai B. propose a possible destination of his trip C. highlight the beauty of the beach of Kauai D. show Kauai produced a relaxing atmosphere 【答案】4. A 5. D 6. B 7. D 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇记叙文。记叙了作者作为一名在线杂志的技术记者，每天需要花大量的时间在网上工作。作者为了远离现代科技，选择了去夏威夷“花园岛”Kauai，并记叙了岛上的风光景色。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中The main reason for my visit to Kauai was to unplug, disconnect, log off, and get away from it all. No cell phone, no electronic organiser, no laptop. And definitely, no email.（我去Kauai的主要原因是为了拔掉电源、断开连接、注销，然后远离它。没有手机，没有电子记事本，没有笔记本电脑。当然，没有电子邮件。）可知作者去Kauai的原因是为了远离现代科技。故选A。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段I am a technology reporter for an online magazine—my life is driven and dominated by email. I’m drowned in it, usually 400 or 500 messages a day.（我是一家在线杂志的技术记者——我的生活被电子邮件所驱动和支配。我被它淹没了，通常每天有400或500条信息。）可知作者花了很多时间在网上工作。故选D。 【6题详解】 词义猜测题。根据下文as they could not understand how I could bear to live without email可知作者的朋友和家人无法理解我怎么能忍受没有电子邮件的生活，因此他们感到很震惊。故outraged意思为“吃惊的；震惊的”。故选B。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段Maybe it was full moon lighting the black-sand beach not 10 metres from my door. Or the mango trees casting shadows across the veranda. Or the driftwood piled in loose heaps for as far as I could see along the shore. Without question, the long, slow sound of the waves rolling in calmed my restless soul, and I found I could, in fact, log off.（也许是满月照亮了离我家不到10米的黑沙滩。或是芒果树在阳台上投下的阴影。或者是在我所能看到的海岸上到处乱堆的浮木。毫无疑问，那悠长而缓慢的海浪声平息了我躁动的灵魂，我发现我真的可以退出登录了。）可推知作者在最后一段描述了Kauai的景色，以显示Kauai产生了一种轻松的气氛。故选D。 【点睛】词义猜测题是高考阅读理解中常考题型之一，可以大致分为 ① 定义猜词，可以根据定义信息和举例猜测词义。如文中常用refer to，be called或that’s to say，such as等。 ② 逻辑猜词可以根据同义词、反义词、因果关系词等猜测词义，例如，similarly,the same as,but,however,while,on the other hand,since ,because等，所猜词与这些提示词前/后面部分的含义一样、相反或是前因后果。 ③ 语法猜词，可以根据构词法，再结合上下文进行猜词。 ④ 语境猜词，猜测词义离不开上下文的语境，通过上下文提供的情景和线索进行合理的分析，同时还要关注其所在的整段及整篇文章。 ⑤ 指代猜词即找出人称代词、指示代词、关系代词或关系副词等所指代的内容，做题时要注意指代词的位置，以便于判断，然后用所找的指代内容替换划线代词，核实其逻辑、意义、位置等是否一致，最后比较所找部分与选项，确定意思最接近的选项。 如第三小题，根据下文as they could not understand how I could bear to live without email可知作者的朋友和家人无法理解我怎么能忍受没有电子邮件的生活，因此他们感到很震惊。故outraged意思为“吃惊的；震惊的”。故选B。 C Understanding a proof in a math textbook is one thing; being able to reconstruct it without help is another thing. My classmates and I learned this the hard way at university. Most of our exams were oral exams, and nothing exposes a lack of deep knowledge faster than trying to explain a concept to someone. Unlike written exams, where visual learners may be able to parrot back memorized notes that they barely understand, an oral test demands creative thinking in real time. When presented with a problem, students not only need to recall relevant definitions and theories, but they also need to apply them-sometimes in ways they never anticipated. Students often fall into a familiar trap. They read the textbooks, highlight key passages, and review lecture notes. These activities feel productive, but when exam day arrives, a student will often realize their passive familiarity with the material doesn’t translate into the ability to apply it. Nor does it translate into a good grade. Passive learning is misleading. It feels like we’re making progress, but without actually applying what we learn, it slips away quickly. Consuming information is not the same as developing skills. The cognitive psychologist Daniel T. Willingham explains the distinction between passive and active learning when he writes, “Memory is the result of thought.” In other words, we forget most of what we encounter and remember only what we think about. Reading about calculations doesn’t automatically create the neural pathways needed to solve calculating problems. Those pathways only form through deliberate practice: by solving problems, making mistakes, and experiencing the struggle. As a general rule, the harder your brain works during practice, the better it performs when it matters. To truly master something, you should embrace challenges and accept the slow, often frustrating, pace of true learning. The oral math exam was valuable because it broke the illusion of passive learning. Standing in front of the professor, faced with a problem, there’s nowhere to hide. The pressure to produce mathematics revealed the true state of our understanding. To truly know what we don’t know, we should simulate our own oral exams by picturing an imaginary professor asking questions and forcing ourselves to figure out answers on our own. 8. What does the underlined phrase “parrot back” mean in paragraph 2? A. Repeat mechanically. B. Appreciate deeply. C. Apply creatively. D. Forget quickly. 9. Why do students fall into the learning trap? A. Because of over-reliance on textbooks. B. Because of brilliant exam performance. C. Because of a false sense of competence. D. Because of overemphasis on memory skills. 10. Which of the following statements might Daniel T. Willingham agree with? A. Repeated exposure strengthens memories. B. Active engagement builds solid memory. C. Memory improves with extensive reading. D. Learning occurs when teachers ask questions. 11. What would be the best title for the text? A. Passive Learning: The Silent Killer of Exams B. Conscious Practice: The Best Way to Learn Math C. Oral Math Exams: The Frustrating University Tests D. Active Learning: The Key to Mastering Knowledge 【答案】8. A 9. C 10. B 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。主要论述了被动学习无法让人真正掌握知识，通过大学数学口试的经历，强调主动学习、刻意练习才是掌握知识的关键。 【8题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段中的“Unlike written exams, where visual learners may be able to parrot back memorized notes that they barely understand, an oral test demands creative thinking in real time.(与笔试不同，视觉学习者在笔试中可能会对自己几乎不理解的背诵笔记进行parrot back，而口试则需要实时的创造性思维。)”可知，笔试中学习者可能只是重复记忆的笔记，并未真正理解，与口试的创造性思维形成对比。因此“parrot back”表示“机械重复”。故选A项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“These activities feel productive, but when exam day arrives, a student will often realize their passive familiarity with the material doesn’t translate into the ability to apply it. Nor does it translate into a good grade. Passive learning is misleading. It feels like we’re making progress, but without actually applying what we learn, it slips away quickly.(这些活动让人感觉很有成效，但当考试日到来时，学生往往会意识到，他们对材料的被动熟悉并不能转化为应用能力，也不能转化为好成绩。被动学习具有误导性。感觉我们在进步，但如果不实际应用所学，知识很快就会溜走。)”可知，学生陷入学习陷阱是因为被动学习带来了虚假的能力感，让他们误以为自己掌握了知识。故选C项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“The cognitive psychologist Daniel T. Willingham explains the distinction between passive and active learning when he writes, “Memory is the result of thought.” In other words, we forget most of what we encounter and remember only what we think about.(认知心理学家丹尼尔·T·威林厄姆在解释被动学习和主动学习的区别时写道：“记忆是思考的结果。”换句话说，我们会忘记大部分遇到的东西，只记住我们思考过的东西。)”可知，威林厄姆认为记忆源于思考，即主动参与才能形成牢固的记忆。故选B项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，文章通过大学数学口试的经历引出被动学习的弊端，引用心理学家的观点强调“记忆是思考的结果”，并指出主动练习、迎接挑战才是真正掌握知识的方式，所以题目“主动学习是掌握知识的关键”概括了全文的主题，适合作为最佳标题。故选D项。 D For decades, scientists have identified chronic low-level inflammation (炎症) — called “inflammaging” — as one of the primary drivers of age-related diseases. Think of it as your body’s immune system stuck in overdrive — constantly fighting battles that don’t exist, gradually wearing down organs and systems. But a new study challenges that idea and could reshape how we think about aging itself. The research, published in Nature Aging, compared patterns of inflammation in four very different communities around the world. Two groups were from modern, industrialised societies — older adults living in Italy and Singapore. The other two were pristine communities who live more traditional lifestyles: the Tsimane people of the Bolivian Amazon and the Orang Asli in the forests of Malaysia. The researchers analysed blood samples from more than 2,800 people, looking at a wide range of inflammatory molecules (分子), known as cytokines. Among the Italian and Singaporean participants, the researchers found a fairly consistent inflammaging pattern. As people aged, levels of inflammatory markers in the blood rose together. Higher levels were linked to a greater risk of chronic diseases including kidney disease and heart disease. But in the Tsimane and Orang Asli populations, the inflammaging pattern was absent. The same inflammatory molecules did not rise consistently with age, and they were not strongly linked to age-related diseases. In fact, among the Tsimane, who face high rates of microorganism infections, inflammation levels were often high. Yet this did not lead to the same rates of chronic diseases that are common in industrialised nations. These results raise important questions. One possibility is that inflammaging, at least as measured through these blood signals, is not a universal biological feature of aging. Instead, it may arise in societies marked by high-calorie diets, low physical activity and reduced exposure to infections. In other words, chronic inflammation linked to aging and disease might not simply result from an inevitable biological process, but rather from a mismatch between our ancient physiology and the modern environment. If these findings are confirmed, they could have some significant consequences. 12. How is inflammaging related to aging in the established scientific view? A. It attacks human organs. B. It causes the inactivity of organs. C. It generates overactive immune response. D. It lowers the efficiency of immune system. 13. What does the word “pristine” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Unspoiled. B. Unwelcoming. C. Unsafe. D. Unlivable. 14. What has the study found about the Tsimane and Orang Asli people? A. They seldom develop chronic diseases. B. Their blood lacks inflammatory markers. C. They rarely get exposed to sources of infection. D. Their inflammation levels are independent of aging. 15. What does the new study suggest? A. Inflammaging is a signal of aging. B. Inflammaging is biologically unavoidable. C. Repeated infections hold back inflammaging. D. Modern lifestyle contributes to inflammaging. 【答案】12. C 13. A 14. D 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了一项新的研究，指出炎症性衰老并不是一个不可避免的生理现象，而是与我们当代的生活方式息息相关。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Think of it as your body’s immune system stuck in overdrive — constantly fighting battles that don’t exist, gradually wearing down organs and systems. (把它想象成你身体的免疫系统陷入了超速状态——不断地与不存在的战斗作斗争，逐渐消耗了器官和系统。)”可知，长期低水平炎症使得身体的免疫系统陷入过度激活状态，持续对抗不存在的敌人，逐渐消耗各个器官和系统。故选C。 【13题详解】 词句猜测题。从第二段“Two groups were from modern, industrialised societies — older adults living in Italy and Singapore. (其中两组来自现代工业化社会——生活在意大利和新加坡的老年人。)”和“who live more traditional lifestyles: the Tsimane people of the Bolivian Amazon and the Orang Asli in the forests of Malaysia. (他们过着更传统的生活方式：玻利维亚亚马逊地区的Tsimane人和马来西亚森林里的Orang Asli人。)”可知，研究选取了现代工业化社会下的人群和原始社区过着传统生活方式的人群进行比较，pristine的意思是“未受损害的，处于原始状态的”，和unspoiled意思相近。故选A。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“But in the Tsimane and Orang Asli populations, the inflammaging pattern was absent. The same inflammatory molecules did not rise consistently with age, and they were not strongly linked to age-related diseases. (但在Tsimane人和Orang Asli人中，没有这种炎症模式。同样的炎症分子并没有随着年龄的增长而持续增加，它们与年龄相关的疾病也没有很强的联系。)”可知，这项研究发现Tsimane人和Orang Asli人的炎症水平与年龄无关。故选D。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“One possibility is that inflammaging, at least as measured through these blood signals, is not a universal biological feature of aging. Instead, it may arise in societies marked by high-calorie diets, low physical activity and reduced exposure to infections. (一种可能性是，炎症，至少通过这些血液信号来衡量，并不是衰老的普遍生物学特征。相反，它可能出现在以高热量饮食、低体力活动和低感染风险为特征的社会。)”可知，新的研究表明现代生活方式会导致炎症。故选D。 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填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 One of the most common mistakes in communication is trying to do too much. ____16____ There’s no value in delivering any kind of communication, whether written, spoken, formal, or informal, if the message doesn’t come across clearly. Being clear and brief — while maintaining interest and including everything your listeners need to know — is a high-level communication skill. Here are some tips worth following in order to communicate more effectively. Keep your audience in mind. Your audience will naturally be more interested and engaged when you tailor your communications to their interests. ____17____ This will engage their desire to understand and interact with the information. Don’t use ten words when one will do. Even the most engaged and committed audience will eventually get bored. Keeping your message simple and clear will make it easier for people to understand. ____18____ However, they’re hearing it for the first time. Keep it simple. ____19____ If you’ve ever worked as an instructor, manager, trainer or coach, you’ll know that there are few better ways to learn new information than to teach it. Ask the audience to contribute their ideas or to take a role in explaining new concepts and policies to others. Allow them to lead discussions and meetings to develop their communication skills. Consider the best method to deliver your message. If the information you’re communicating isn’t urgent, consider sending an email. Written communication will give your audience more time to review it, think it over, and follow up with questions. ____20____ Building effective communication skills takes time, but the effects are worth the effort. A. Be patient. B. Get the audience involved. C. The best messages are often simple. D. Speak directly to what matters to them. E. You may be surprised by what your listeners offer. F. It will also give them a handy record to refer back to. G. As the speaker, you already know what you’re going to say. 【答案】16. C 17. D 18. G 19. B 20. F 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一些更有效地进行沟通的技巧。 【16题详解】 上文“One of the most common mistakes in communication is trying to do too much.(沟通中最常见的错误之一就是试图做得太多)”指出“做得太多”是沟通中易犯的错误，C选项“The best messages are often simple.(最好的信息往往是简单的)”承接上文，明确正确沟通方法，即不要“做得太多”，要避免复杂，追求简单，句中“simple”与上文“too much”形成对比。故选C项。 【17题详解】 上文“Your audience will naturally be more interested and engaged when you tailor your communications to their interests.(当你根据受众兴趣来调整你的沟通内容时，他们自然会更感兴趣、更投入)”强调要迎合受众兴趣，D选项“Speak directly to what matters to them.(直接谈论对他们重要的事情)”进一步说明了具体做法，即直接针对受众关心的事情进行交流，与上文逻辑一致。故选D项。 【18题详解】 下文“However, they’re hearing it for the first time.(然而，他们是第一次听到这些)”与设空句之间是转折关系。G选项“As the speaker, you already know what you’re going to say.(作为演讲者，你已经知道你要说什么了)”与下文构成转折，演讲者自己熟悉内容，但听众是初次接触，同时，句中“what you’re going to say”与下文中指示代词“it”构成指代关系，上下文逻辑连贯。故选G项。 【19题详解】 下文“If you’ve ever worked as an instructor, manager, trainer or coach, you’ll know that there are few better ways to learn new information than to teach it. Ask the audience to contribute their ideas or to take a role in explaining new concepts and policies to others.(如果你曾经当过导师、经理、培训师或教练，你就会知道，没有比教别人更好的学习新信息的方法了。让听众贡献他们的想法，或者让他们扮演向他人解释新概念和政策的角色)”建议让受众参与其中，B选项“Get the audience involved.(让受众参与进来)”能概括这部分内容，适合作段首小标题。故选B项。 【20题详解】 上文“If the information you’re communicating isn’t urgent, consider sending an email. Written communication will give your audience more time to review it, think it over, and follow up with questions.(如果你传达的信息不紧急，考虑发电子邮件。书面沟通会给你的受众更多时间来复习、思考，并跟进提问)”说明了发邮件这种书面沟通的好处，F选项“It will also give them a handy record to refer back to.(它还会给他们提供一个方便查阅的记录)”进一步补充了发邮件的另一个好处，与上文逻辑紧密。故选F项。 第三部分 语言运用(共四节，满分30分) 第一节 完形填空(共15小题：每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 My journey as a journalist began when I was 12 years old.

I often wished he wasn’t so perfect because it made me feel like I had to work twice as hard just to prove myself to others. On one hand, his success was a challenge that I enjoyed, but on the other hand, it was an immense pressure that I struggled to cope with. To balance his record in high school, I felt like I was constantly running on a treadmill (跑步机), dedicating every moment to a non-stop race. There was no room for relaxation as I pursued that perfect record. My life seemed to be compressed into a series of endless tasks and deadlines. “I needed an A,” I repeated to myself before the biology test, so that I would maintain my perfect record and secure a place on the honor roll. I studied till the last minute of lunch and rushed to class. I felt a sense of confidence as I glanced over the first page of the test, quickly filling in the answers with a smile. However, as I turned to the last page, my mind went blank. Time ticked by, and soon, the classroom began to empty as students finished their tests and left, except me. “Lara, class ended. I need you to hand in your test,” Mrs. Phloem said, stretching out her hand. Reluctantly, I handed her the test paper. The next day, I received my test back. I stared dumbfounded at the red mark: 76. Not even a B. minus, my mind screamed. Just average. It’s over. No perfect record. I felt an unprecedented (前所未有的) sense of frustration and disappointment. After school, I dragged my heavy feet back home. When I pushed open the door, Jack was sitting on the couch, reading. Seeing his leisurely state, I cried, hard to contain the jealousy and sadness in my heart. Jack immediately noticed the depression on my face. He asked with concern, “What’s wrong, Lara?” Blinded by frustration mixed with a touch of jealousy, I shouted at him “How I wish you were not so perfect!” 注意： 1．续写词数应为150个左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: With a hint of hurt and surprise in his eyes, Jack gently approached me. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: His words were like a warm breeze, blowing my depression away and changing my mindset. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 With a hint of hurt and surprise in his eyes, Jack gently approached me. He placed a hand on my shoulder and asked me again what had happened. I took out my test paper and told him that I would never match up to him in a choked voice. Jack’s smile grew warmer, and he gave my shoulder a reassuring squeeze. “You don’t have to measure up to anyone and your worth isn’t defined by grades or achievements. You’ re more than just a number on a test. Remember that be yourself; everyone else is already taken.” His words were like a warm breeze, blowing my depression away and changing my mindset. I was still engaged in endless tasks and deadlines, but I no longer felt constrained by my brother’s shadow. Realizing that comparison is the thief of joy, I strove for excellence instead of perfection, which is often unattainable and can lead to burnout. I felt a weight lifted off my shoulders as I realized that my value wasn’t tied to a single test score. I felt more confident and less overwhelmed as I know that believing in doing my best will always be the ultimate best score. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了“我”因追求和哥哥一样完美的成绩而感到巨大压力，在一次生物考试中失利后，对哥哥产生了嫉妒和失望的情绪。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句“Jack眼中带着一丝受伤和惊讶，轻轻地走向我。”可知，第一段可描写Jack安慰“我”，询问“我”发生了什么，“我”拿出试卷告诉他自己永远也比不上他，Jack安慰“我”，告诉“我”不要和别人比较。 ②由第二段首句“他的话就像一股暖风，吹散了我的沮丧，改变了我的心态。”可知，第二段可描写“我”的心态发生了变化，不再受哥哥的影响，意识到比较是快乐的窃贼，开始追求卓越而不是完美。 2.续写线索：Jack安慰“我”——“我”拿出试卷诉说沮丧——Jack告诉“我”不要和别人比较——“我”的心态发生变化——“我”开始追求卓越而不是完美 3.词汇激活： 行为类 ①比得上：match up to/equal ②忙于：be engaged in/be busy with ③意识到：realize/become aware of/come to understand 情绪类 ①令人感到宽慰的：reassuring/comforting/soothing ②快乐：joy/happiness 【点睛】[高分句型1] He placed a hand on my shoulder and asked me again what had happened.(运用了连接代词what引导的宾语从句) [高分句型2] Realizing that comparison is the thief of joy, I strove for excellence instead of perfection, which is often unattainable and can lead to burnout.(运用了连词that引导的宾语从句和关系代词which引导的非限制性定语从句) [高分句型3] I felt more confident and less overwhelmed as I know that believing in doing my best will always be the ultimate best score.(运用了从属连词as引导原因状语从句和连词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 $ 厦门一中2025-2026学年高三(上)12月考 高三年英语试卷 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.

B After bouncing my rental car across several miles of red-dirt roads I walked for nearly another mile down the beach to a deserted valley. It was comforting to think that at the very least I was finally out of cell-phone range. However, even on Kauai, Hawaii’s ‘Garden Island’, complete escape wasn’t all that easy to achieve. Noisy helicopters full of tourists flew overhead like so many dragonflies. Every 20 minutes or so the comforting sounds of wind and water were broken by the noise of a speeding tour boat racing to complete another lap around the island. Worst of all, not more than five minutes by car from the resort where I was staying, the Atomic Clock Internet Café signaled with promises of instant email. I felt uncomfortable every time I drove by the Atomic Clock Café. I am a technology reporter for an online magazine—my life is driven and dominated by email. I’m drowned in it, usually 400 or 500 messages a day. The main reason for my visit to Kauai was to unplug, disconnect, log off, and get away from it all. No cell phone, no electronic organiser, no laptop. And definitely, no email. Yes, my plan was to lie on the beach and not check my email. My friends and family were outraged as they could not understand how I could bear to live without email. But they didn’t understand. In my job, I am online, permanently. Cyberspace is more familiar to me than my backyard. While I am awake, my email is always on. I don’t like to be without it for too long. A few hours away from it, and I start to tremble. I am, however, no stranger to beaches and their relaxing qualities and so I knew, even when arriving well after dark at the comfortable cottage in the town of Waimea, that the island of Kauai gave me a good chance of beating my addiction to electronic devices. Maybe it was full moon lighting the black-sand beach not 10 metres from my door. Or the mango trees casting shadows across the veranda ( 阳 台 ). Or the driftwood piled in loose heaps for as far as I could see along the shore. Without question, the long, slow sound of the waves rolling in calmed my restless soul, and I found I could, in fact, log off. 4. Why did the writer come to Kauai? A. To get away from the modern technology. B. To work for the Atomic Clock Internet Café. C. To write reports on technological development. D. To find whether there is an alternative to email. 5. What can we learn about the writer? A. He wrote articles about resorts around the world. B. He enjoyed beach activities like boat racing. C. He was eager to work in his backyard. D. He spent much time working online. 6. The word “outraged” (paragraph 4) is closest in meaning to “ ”. A. relieved B. shocked C. amused D. offended 7. The writer described the scenery in the last paragraph in order to . A. argue against his friends’ doubt of Kauai B. propose a possible destination of his trip C. highlight the beauty of the beach of Kauai D. show Kauai produced a relaxing atmosphere C Understanding a proof in a math textbook is one thing; being able to reconstruct it without help is another thing. My classmates and I learned this the hard way at university. Most of our exams were oral exams, and nothing exposes a lack of deep knowledge faster than trying to explain a concept to someone. Unlike written exams, where visual learners may be able to parrot back memorized notes that they barely understand, an oral test demands creative thinking in real time. When presented with a problem, students not only need to recall relevant definitions and theories, but they also need to apply them-sometimes in ways they never anticipated. Students often fall into a familiar trap. They read the textbooks, highlight key passages, and review lecture notes. These activities feel productive, but when exam day arrives, a student will often realize their passive familiarity with the material doesn’t translate into the ability to apply it. Nor does it translate into a good grade. Passive learning is misleading. It feels like we’re making progress, but without actually applying what we learn, it slips away quickly. Consuming information is not the same as developing skills. The cognitive psychologist Daniel T. Willingham explains the distinction between passive and active learning when he writes, “Memory is the result of thought.” In other words, we forget most of what we encounter and remember only what we think about. Reading about calculations doesn’t automatically create the neural pathways needed to solve calculating problems. Those pathways only form through deliberate practice: by solving problems, making mistakes, and experiencing the struggle. As a general rule, the harder your brain works during practice, the better it performs when it matters. To truly master something, you should embrace challenges and accept the slow, often frustrating, pace of true learning. The oral math exam was valuable because it broke the illusion of passive learning. Standing in front of the professor, faced with a problem, there’s nowhere to hide. The pressure to produce mathematics revealed the true state of our understanding. To truly know what we don’t know, we should simulate our own oral exams by picturing an imaginary professor asking questions and forcing ourselves to figure out answers on our own. 8. What does the underlined phrase “parrot back” mean in paragraph 2? A. Repeat mechanically. B. Appreciate deeply. C. Apply creatively. D. Forget quickly. 9.

Active Learning: The Key to Mastering Knowledge D For decades, scientists have identified chronic low-level inflammation (炎症) — called “inflammaging” — as one of the primary drivers of age-related diseases. Think of it as your body’s immune system stuck in overdrive — constantly fighting battles that don’t exist, gradually wearing down organs and systems. But a new study challenges that idea and could reshape how we think about aging itself. The research, published in Nature Aging, compared patterns of inflammation in four very different communities around the world. Two groups were from modern, industrialised societies — older adults living in Italy and Singapore. The other two were pristine communities who live more traditional lifestyles: the Tsimane people of the Bolivian Amazon and the Orang Asli in the forests of Malaysia. The researchers analysed blood samples from more than 2,800 people, looking at a wide range of inflammatory molecules (分子), known as cytokines. Among the Italian and Singaporean participants, the researchers found a fairly consistent inflammaging pattern. As people aged, levels of inflammatory markers in the blood rose together. Higher levels were linked to a greater risk of chronic diseases including kidney disease and heart disease. But in the Tsimane and Orang Asli populations, the inflammaging pattern was absent. The same inflammatory molecules did not rise consistently with age, and they were not strongly linked to age-related diseases. In fact, among the Tsimane, who face high rates of microorganism infections, inflammation levels were often high. Yet this did not lead to the same rates of chronic diseases that are common in industrialised nations. These results raise important questions. One possibility is that inflammaging, at least as measured through these blood signals, is not a universal biological feature of aging. Instead, it may arise in societies marked by high-calorie diets, low physical activity and reduced exposure to infections. In other words, chronic inflammation linked to aging and disease might not simply result from an inevitable biological process, but rather from a mismatch between our ancient physiology and the modern environment. If these findings are confirmed, they could have some significant consequences. 12. How is inflammaging related to aging in the established scientific view? A. It attacks human organs. B. It causes the inactivity of organs. C. It generates overactive immune response. D. It lowers the efficiency of immune system. 13. What does the word “pristine” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Unspoiled. B. Unwelcoming. C. Unsafe. D. Unlivable. 14. What has the study found about the Tsimane and Orang Asli people? A. They seldom develop chronic diseases. B. Their blood lacks inflammatory markers. C. They rarely get exposed to sources of infection. D. Their inflammation levels are independent of aging. 15. What does the new study suggest? A. Inflammaging is a signal of aging. B. Inflammaging is biologically unavoidable. C. Repeated infections hold back inflammaging. D. Modern lifestyle contributes to inflammaging. 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填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 One of the most common mistakes in communication is trying to do too much. ____16____ There’s no value in delivering any kind of communication, whether written, spoken, formal, or informal, if the message doesn’t come across clearly. Being clear and brief — while maintaining interest and including everything your listeners need to know — is a high-level communication skill. Here are some tips worth following in order to communicate more effectively. Keep your audience in mind. Your audience will naturally be more interested and engaged when you tailor your communications to their interests. ____17____ This will engage their desire to understand and interact with the information. Don’t use ten words when one will do. Even the most engaged and committed audience will eventually get bored. Keeping your message simple and clear will make it easier for people to understand. ____18____ However, they’re hearing it for the first time. Keep it simple. ____19____ If you’ve ever worked as an instructor, manager, trainer or coach, you’ll know that there are few better ways to learn new information than to teach it. Ask the audience to contribute their ideas or to take a role in explaining new concepts and policies to others. Allow them to lead discussions and meetings to develop their communication skills. Consider the best method to deliver your message. If the information you’re communicating isn’t urgent, consider sending an email. Written communication will give your audience more time to review it, think it over, and follow up with questions. ____20____ Building effective communication skills takes time, but the effects are worth the effort. A. Be patient. B. Get the audience involved. C. The best messages are often simple. D. Speak directly to what matters to them. E. You may be surprised by what your listeners offer. F. It will also give them a handy record to refer back to. G. As the speaker, you already know what you’re going to say. 第三部分 语言运用(共四节，满分30分) 第一节 完形填空(共15小题：每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 My journey as a journalist began when I was 12 years old.

I often wished he wasn’t so perfect because it made me feel like I had to work twice as hard just to prove myself to others. On one hand, his success was a challenge that I enjoyed, but on the other hand, it was an immense pressure that I struggled to cope with. To balance his record in high school, I felt like I was constantly running on a treadmill (跑步机), dedicating every moment to a non-stop race. There was no room for relaxation as I pursued that perfect record. My life seemed to be compressed into a series of endless tasks and deadlines. “I needed an A” I repeated to myself before the biology test, so that I would maintain my perfect record and secure a place on the honor roll. I studied till the last minute of lunch and rushed to class. I felt a sense of confidence as I glanced over the first page of the test, quickly filling in the answers with a smile. However, as I turned to the last page, my mind went blank. Time ticked by, and soon, the classroom began to empty as students finished their tests and left, except me. “Lara, class ended. I need you to hand in your test,” Mrs. Phloem said, stretching out her hand. Reluctantly, I handed her the test paper. The next day, I received my test back. I stared dumbfounded at the red mark: 76. Not even a B. minus, my mind screamed. Just average. It’s over. No perfect record. I felt an unprecedented (前所未有的) sense of frustration and disappointment. After school, I dragged my heavy feet back home. When I pushed open the door, Jack was sitting on the couch, reading. Seeing his leisurely state, I cried, hard to contain the jealousy and sadness in my heart. Jack immediately noticed the depression on my face. He asked with concern, “What’s wrong, Lara?” Blinded by frustration mixed with a touch of jealousy, I shouted at him “How I wish you were not so perfect!” 注意： 1．续写词数应为150个左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: With a hint of hurt and surprise in his eyes, Jack gently approached me. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: His words were like a warm breeze, blowing my depression away and changing my mindset. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
