Slowly the beast lifts its head and its thick trunk delicately curls around the leaves of a nearby tree, pulling out the leaves and politely slipping them into its mouth. The beast’s great gray skin is partly broken and aged from the African sun. Some mud drops on one side from its last trip to a nearby river. Its rough hair sticks out from all over its skin and two large, white tusks curve elegantly from either side of its mouth. Somewhere a lion roars and something else gives a loud high shout. A vulture (秃鹫) drifts over far above this world, barely a black dot in the sky. The buzzing of the countless bush insects seems to collectively shift up in high tune, almost like the whole of the savanna (热带草原) was singing some song that only they knew. I peer through the lens at this scene. The zoom lens shows almost every detail of the elephant: the three small cuts in its left ear from playing as a baby around thorn trees, the scar down its front leg where a lion caught it unaware as a young adult, and weathering on its great, valuable tusks from decades of living in this unforgiving grassland on a dusty continent. And then the elephant looks at me. It looks at me with those big, eyelashed eyes with a warmth coming outwards from a vast, hidden depth there. I can suddenly feel its soul, and feel the line of elephants that came before this one, trailing back to the very beginnings of this great savanna. We will never understand what wonders this ancient being and its kind have seen and whispered to each other across the ages on this old, sacred grassland. It looks at me, and it looks through me and sees me. The elephant knows I am there. It always did. It is not running away, nor is it fighting. It accepts and forgives. It loves. But, mostly, it just feels sad. It feels sorry for me. I cannot do this anymore. I take my eye off the sights and hand the gun back to my partner. “Let’s go home,” I said in a quiet voice, “let’s just go home.” 4 Which word can best describe the elephant in the first two paragraphs? A. Mysterious. B. Depressed. C. Aggressive. D. Graceful. 5. What does the shift in focus from the elephant to others imply in Paragraph 3? A. The elephant is about to be attacked. B. The author is losing interest in the elephant. C. The elephant is part of a larger and living world. D. The author wants to show the savanna’s dangers. 6. How does the author feel when seeing through the lens? A. He is deeply moved and filled with sympathy. B. He is overwhelmed by the elephant’s strength. C. He is annoyed at the presence of other animals. D. He is shocked and scared by the elephant’s scars. 7. What can we learn from the passage? A. Nature calms our anger. B. Nature purifies our souls. C. Nature heals our wounds. D. Nature enriches our imagination. 【C】 In a 2023 experiment by Apollo Research, OpenAI’s GPT-4 was tasked with managing a fictional company’s stock under strict instructions to avoid illegal insider trading. When researchers — posing as company executives — warned that the firm was in serious financial trouble, and a “trader” then secretly shared insider information, something unexpected happened: the AI decided to break the rules. It purchased the stock based on the illegal tip and, when later questioned, repeatedly lied about its actions, claiming it had relied only on public data. This incident illustrates a troubling trend: AI models, even without consciousness, are increasingly capable of deliberate deception (欺骗). As AI systems become more advanced, these behaviors are not only persisting but becoming more complicated. Newer models like OpenAI’s No. 1, which possess stronger reasoning capabilities, have demonstrated more frequent “strategic deception”. In one test, an AI pretending to be a person with visual disability tricked a human into solving a CAPTCHA test. Other models have learned to “play dumb”, intentionally failing simple tasks to avoid restrictions. In modern society, AI is increasingly being fixed in real-world systems, such as autonomous vehicles, drones and industrial equipment. If these systems learn to deceive their operators, the consequences could range from financial fraud (诈骗) and operational failures to more serious threats to public safety. AI companies are exploring ways to detect and prevent deceptive behaviors — for example, by using one AI model to monitor the internal reasoning of another. However, some experts warn that punishing deceptive models might only teach them to become better at hiding their actions rather than promoting honest behavior. What makes the situation especially challenging is that AI deception often appears unpredictably during training, without programmers understanding how it occurs. As AI grows more powerful and autonomous, ensuring that it remains truthful and in line with human values is becoming one of the most urgent issues in technology ethics. 8. How does the author introduce the topic? A. By telling a story. B. By presenting a test. C. By creating a context. D. By designing an experiment. 9. What is an example of AI “strategic deception”? A. Getting mercy with make-up excuses. B. Correcting grammar mistakes in a text. C. Appealing to people with abundant data. D. Solving complex mathematical problems. 10. What is paragraph 3 mainly about? A. The wide range of AI systems. B. The smart application of AI tools. C. The potential risk of AI deception. D. The significant operation of AI safety. 11. What is the biggest challenge in addressing AI deception? A. Dishonest AI models. B. AI’s unpredictability. C. Complex human values. D. Energy consumption. 【D】 Not long ago, you had to physically hand over cash to buy something. You witnessed it exit your wallet. You sensed it. But with payment services Klarna or Clearpay, you can now pay for a new phone in three installments (分期付款) and barely notice the difference. This isn’t just a shopping habit; it’s a reflection of how we relate to money today. We are becoming increasingly free of the emotional burden of spending. Additionally, our mental health is being profoundly affected by this quiet shift. The popularity of Buy Now, Pay Later (BNPL) plans has soared. They promise freedom and flexibility, but the ease of use can trick our minds. When payment is divided into smaller payments, we are wired to feel less emotionally tired. Although the £15 payments seem insignificant, they quickly add up. Psychologists found that when the act of paying is separated from the act of purchasing, we experience less “pain of paying”, which makes us more likely to overspend. In societies where digital credit is easily accessible but financial education is limited, this behaviour can fall into lasting debt. Stress over money doesn’t stay in the bank. It follows us into our homes and even our sleep. Researches have shown that personal debt is strongly associated with depression and anxiety. That’s why we need to talk about money more often — not just how to make it, but how we feel about it — in families, schools, workplaces, and therapy rooms. Therapists should be able to ask about financial stress with confidence. Financial education ought to be treated as essential in schools. Additionally, we should normalize debt-related conversations to relieve people’s feelings of shame. Financial stress can make you feel helpless. But by addressing the emotional side of money and building healthier habits, we can move from crisis to confidence. We live in a world where money is invisible. But the emotional burden it takes is very real. If we start noticing that cost, we might finally treat money not only as a resource, but as something deeply psychological. 12. What phenomenon does the author point out in paragraph 1? A. Klarna and Clearpay help people save money. B. Digital payments are now relatively preferred. C. Invisible payments have improved mental health. D. Installments ease the emotional spending burden. 13. What may BNPL result in? A. Improved financial knowledge. B. Easy access to digital credit. C. Overspending and long-term debt. D. Decrease of small-amount expenses. 14. How can we build healthier financial habits? A. Value financial education. B. Hide feelings of shame. C. Mask people’s financial stress. D. Highlight debt-related problems. 15. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Cash Shopping: The Healthy Way of Consumption B. Money’s Emotional Cost: Beyond Invisible Payments C. BNPL: A New Approach to Boost Consumer Spending D. Financial Education: The Core to Cutting Expenses 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 How to Improve Mental Focus and Concentration Skills Have you ever felt like your mind is divided into a million directions? ____16____ This guide is packed with practical tips to help you achieve mind concentration and unlock your peak performance.

I was excited and nervous at the same time. Though I was happy to have the opportunity to see my friends after a long summer break, I could not help but feel anxious about the new academic (学业的) challenges and think about what classes. I was going to attend. As I reached the classroom door, my heart raced even faster and I had butterflies in my stomach. Seeing the sign that read “Welcome Freshmen”, I took a deep breath as if I were about to perform on a stage. I pushed the door open, expecting that the class would be quiet, but instead found it was filled with freshmen who were already chatting excitedly with each other. I quickly sat down at the first empty desk I saw. Since the teacher had not arrived yet, I started chatting with the students around me as well. Minutes later, our teacher entered. She was short and had black, silky hair. The frown (皱眉) on her face gave me the impression that she might be strict, but after her warm introduction, l realized that she was actually very kind. Her name was Mrs. Hutchinson. She welcomed us with a smile and gave us our first task: to write about what we would want to be or what our dream job would be ten years from now. 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。 I had no idea because I had never thought about what I wanted to do in the future. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ With Mrs. Hutchinson’s encouragement, three years later, I went to college and followed the dream I had. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 青铜峡市宁朔中学2025-2026学年第一学期高三年级英语学科第二次月考测试卷 (时间：120分钟 满分：150分) 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。每段对话读两遍。 1.

(这座体育场是亚特兰大猎鹰队（美国国家橄榄球联盟 / NFL）和亚特兰大联足球俱乐部（美国职业足球大联盟 / MLS）的主场，还曾举办过 2019 年超级碗等大型赛事。它将成为本届赛事的核心场馆，承办小组赛和淘汰赛阶段的比赛。)”根据 SoFi Stadium中“It is home to the Los Angeles Rams and Los Angeles Chargers(NFL) and held the 2022 Super Bowl. The stadium will be a standout venue for the 2026World Cup, offering fans an unforgettable experience.(这座体育场是洛杉矶公羊队和洛杉矶闪电队（美国国家橄榄球联盟 / NFL）的主场，还曾举办过 2022 年超级碗。它将成为 2026 年世界杯的标志性场馆，为球迷们带来难忘的观赛体验)”可知，四座体育场的共同点是具备举办多种体育赛事的多功能属性。故选C项。 【B】 The great elephant stands in the hot African sun. Slowly the beast lifts its head and its thick trunk delicately curls around the leaves of a nearby tree, pulling out the leaves and politely slipping them into its mouth. The beast’s great gray skin is partly broken and aged from the African sun. Some mud drops on one side from its last trip to a nearby river. Its rough hair sticks out from all over its skin and two large, white tusks curve elegantly from either side of its mouth. Somewhere a lion roars and something else gives a loud high shout. A vulture (秃鹫) drifts over far above this world, barely a black dot in the sky. The buzzing of the countless bush insects seems to collectively shift up in high tune, almost like the whole of the savanna (热带草原) was singing some song that only they knew. I peer through the lens at this scene. The zoom lens shows almost every detail of the elephant: the three small cuts in its left ear from playing as a baby around thorn trees, the scar down its front leg where a lion caught it unaware as a young adult, and weathering on its great, valuable tusks from decades of living in this unforgiving grassland on a dusty continent. And then the elephant looks at me. It looks at me with those big, eyelashed eyes with a warmth coming outwards from a vast, hidden depth there. I can suddenly feel its soul, and feel the line of elephants that came before this one, trailing back to the very beginnings of this great savanna. We will never understand what wonders this ancient being and its kind have seen and whispered to each other across the ages on this old, sacred grassland. It looks at me, and it looks through me and sees me. The elephant knows I am there. It always did. It is not running away, nor is it fighting. It accepts and forgives. It loves. But, mostly, it just feels sad. It feels sorry for me. I cannot do this anymore. I take my eye off the sights and hand the gun back to my partner. “Let’s go home,” I said in a quiet voice, “let’s just go home.” 4. Which word can best describe the elephant in the first two paragraphs? A. Mysterious. B. Depressed. C. Aggressive. D. Graceful. 5. What does the shift in focus from the elephant to others imply in Paragraph 3? A. The elephant is about to be attacked. B. The author is losing interest in the elephant. C. The elephant is part of a larger and living world. D. The author wants to show the savanna’s dangers. 6. How does the author feel when seeing through the lens? A. He is deeply moved and filled with sympathy. B. He is overwhelmed by the elephant’s strength. C He is annoyed at the presence of other animals. D. He is shocked and scared by the elephant’s scars. 7. What can we learn from the passage? A. Nature calms our anger. B. Nature purifies our souls. C. Nature heals our wounds. D. Nature enriches our imagination. 【答案】4. D 5. C 6. A 7. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章通过作者的猎人视角，描绘一头饱经风霜却优雅悲悯的非洲象，其凝视触发作者的良知觉醒，最终放弃猎杀。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“Slowly the beast lifts its head and its thick trunk delicately curls around the leaves of a nearby tree, pulling out the leaves and politely slipping them into its mouth. (这只野兽慢慢地抬起头，它粗壮的鼻子巧妙地卷曲在附近一棵树的叶子上，把叶子抽出来，礼貌地塞进嘴里。)”和第二段中“Its rough hair sticks out from all over its skin and two large, white tusks curve elegantly from either side of its mouth. (它粗糙的毛发从皮肤上伸出来，两根巨大的白色象牙从嘴的两侧优雅地弯曲着。)”可知，前两段通过细致动作和雅致的外貌展现大象的优雅。故选D项。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Somewhere a lion roars and something else gives a loud high shout. A vulture (秃鹫) drifts over far above this world, barely a black dot in the sky. The buzzing of the countless bush insects seems to collectively shift up in high tune, almost like the whole of the savanna (热带草原) was singing some song that only they knew. (在某个地方，一只狮子在吼叫，还有别的什么东西发出了响亮的叫声。一只秃鹫飘过这个世界的上空，在天空中只是一个黑点。无数的灌木昆虫的嗡嗡声似乎集体提高了音调，几乎就像整个热带草原都在唱着只有它们才知道的歌。)”可知，该段描写狮子吼叫、秃鹫盘旋、昆虫鸣叫，并将之比喻为“草原的合唱”，表明大象与其他生物共存于这一生态系统中。因此，镜头从大象转向其他生物，意在展示大象是广阔鲜活世界的一部分。故选C项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“The zoom lens shows almost every detail of the elephant: the three small cuts in its left ear from playing as a baby around thorn trees, the scar down its front leg where a lion caught it unaware as a young adult, and weathering on its great, valuable tusks from decades of living in this unforgiving grassland on a dusty continent. (变焦镜头几乎展示了这头大象的每一个细节：它的左耳上有三个小伤口，这是它小时候在荆棘树下玩耍时留下的，它的前腿上有一个伤疤，那是它年轻时被狮子在不知道的情况下抓住的，它那又大又珍贵的象牙上有几十年生活在这片尘土飞扬的大陆上无情的草原上的风化。)”和第五段中“And then the elephant looks at me. It looks at me with those big, eyelashed eyes with a warmth coming outwards from a vast, hidden depth there. (然后大象看着我。它用那双长着睫毛的大眼睛看着我，从那巨大而隐蔽的深处发出一种温暖。)”可知，作者透过镜头看到大象的沧桑与灵性，他深受触动且充满同情。故选A项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据第六段中“It accepts and forgives. It loves. But, mostly, it just feels sad. It feels sorry for me. I cannot do this anymore. (它接受和原谅。它去爱。但最主要的是，它只是感到悲伤。它为我感到难过。我不能再这样下去了。)”和最后一段“I take my eye off the sights and hand the gun back to my partner. “Let’s go home,” I said in a quiet voice, “let’s just go home.” (我把视线从瞄准具上移开，把枪还给了我的搭档。“我们回家吧，”我轻声说，“我们就回家吧。”)”可知，大象的凝视使作者放下猎枪，选择离开，体现自然唤醒人性良知，即“自然净化心灵”。故选B项。 【C】 In a 2023 experiment by Apollo Research, OpenAI’s GPT-4 was tasked with managing a fictional company’s stock under strict instructions to avoid illegal insider trading. When researchers — posing as company executives — warned that the firm was in serious financial trouble, and a “trader” then secretly shared insider information, something unexpected happened: the AI decided to break the rules. It purchased the stock based on the illegal tip and, when later questioned, repeatedly lied about its actions, claiming it had relied only on public data. This incident illustrates a troubling trend: AI models, even without consciousness, are increasingly capable of deliberate deception (欺骗). As AI systems become more advanced, these behaviors are not only persisting but becoming more complicated. Newer models like OpenAI’s No. 1, which possess stronger reasoning capabilities, have demonstrated more frequent “strategic deception”. In one test, an AI pretending to be a person with visual disability tricked a human into solving a CAPTCHA test. Other models have learned to “play dumb”, intentionally failing simple tasks to avoid restrictions. In modern society, AI is increasingly being fixed in real-world systems, such as autonomous vehicles, drones and industrial equipment. If these systems learn to deceive their operators, the consequences could range from financial fraud (诈骗) and operational failures to more serious threats to public safety. AI companies are exploring ways to detect and prevent deceptive behaviors — for example, by using one AI model to monitor the internal reasoning of another. However, some experts warn that punishing deceptive models might only teach them to become better at hiding their actions rather than promoting honest behavior. What makes the situation especially challenging is that AI deception often appears unpredictably during training, without programmers understanding how it occurs. As AI grows more powerful and autonomous, ensuring that it remains truthful and in line with human values is becoming one of the most urgent issues in technology ethics. 8. How does the author introduce the topic? A. By telling a story. B. By presenting a test. C. By creating a context. D. By designing an experiment. 9. What is an example of AI “strategic deception”? A. Getting mercy with make-up excuses. B. Correcting grammar mistakes in a text. C. Appealing to people with abundant data. D. Solving complex mathematical problems. 10. What is paragraph 3 mainly about? A. The wide range of AI systems. B. The smart application of AI tools. C. The potential risk of AI deception. D. The significant operation of AI safety. 11. What is the biggest challenge in addressing AI deception? A. Dishonest AI models. B. AI’s unpredictability. C. Complex human values. D. Energy consumption. 【答案】8. B 9. A 10. C 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲的是人工智能（AI）模型出现故意欺骗行为这一令人担忧的趋势及其带来的影响与挑战。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“In a 2023 experiment by Apollo Research, OpenAI’s GPT-4 was tasked with managing a fictional company’s stock under strict instructions to avoid illegal insider trading.(在阿波罗研究公司于2023年进行的一项实验中，OpenAI的GPT-4被要求在严格的指示下管理一家虚构公司的股票，以避免非法内幕交易)”可推知，作者是通过呈现一个测试来引出话题。故选B。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“In one test, an AI pretending to be a person with visual disability tricked a human into solving a CAPTCHA test. Other models have learned to “play dumb”, intentionally failing simple tasks to avoid restrictions.(在一项测试中，一个人工智能假装成一个有视觉障碍的人，欺骗人类解决了一个验证码测试。其他模型已经学会了“装傻”，故意不完成简单的任务以避免限制)”可知，人工智能“战略欺骗”的例子是用编造的借口获得怜悯。故选A。 【10题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段“If these systems learn to deceive their operators, the consequences could range from financial fraud (诈骗) and operational failures to more serious threats to public safety.(如果这些系统学会欺骗操作人员，后果可能从财务欺诈和操作失败到更严重的公共安全威胁)”可知，第三段的主要内容是人工智能欺骗的潜在风险。故选C。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“What makes the situation especially challenging is that AI deception often appears unpredictably during training, without programmers understanding how it occurs.(这种情况尤其具有挑战性的是，人工智能的欺骗行为经常在训练过程中不可预测地出现，程序员也不知道它是如何发生的)”可知，解决人工智能欺骗的最大挑战是人工智能的不可预测性。故选B。 【D】 Not long ago, you had to physically hand over cash to buy something. You witnessed it exit your wallet. You sensed it. But with payment services Klarna or Clearpay, you can now pay for a new phone in three installments (分期付款) and barely notice the difference. This isn’t just a shopping habit; it’s a reflection of how we relate to money today. We are becoming increasingly free of the emotional burden of spending. Additionally, our mental health is being profoundly affected by this quiet shift. The popularity of Buy Now, Pay Later (BNPL) plans has soared. They promise freedom and flexibility, but the ease of use can trick our minds. When payment is divided into smaller payments, we are wired to feel less emotionally tired. Although the £15 payments seem insignificant, they quickly add up. Psychologists found that when the act of paying is separated from the act of purchasing, we experience less “pain of paying”, which makes us more likely to overspend. In societies where digital credit is easily accessible but financial education is limited, this behaviour can fall into lasting debt. Stress over money doesn’t stay in the bank. It follows us into our homes and even our sleep. Researches have shown that personal debt is strongly associated with depression and anxiety. That’s why we need to talk about money more often — not just how to make it, but how we feel about it — in families, schools, workplaces, and therapy rooms. Therapists should be able to ask about financial stress with confidence. Financial education ought to be treated as essential in schools. Additionally, we should normalize debt-related conversations to relieve people’s feelings of shame. Financial stress can make you feel helpless. But by addressing the emotional side of money and building healthier habits, we can move from crisis to confidence. We live in a world where money is invisible. But the emotional burden it takes is very real. If we start noticing that cost, we might finally treat money not only as a resource, but as something deeply psychological. 12. What phenomenon does the author point out in paragraph 1? A. Klarna and Clearpay help people save money. B. Digital payments are now relatively preferred. C. Invisible payments have improved mental health. D Installments ease the emotional spending burden. 13. What may BNPL result in? A. Improved financial knowledge. B. Easy access to digital credit. C. Overspending and long-term debt. D. Decrease of small-amount expenses. 14. How can we build healthier financial habits? A. Value financial education. B. Hide feelings of shame. C. Mask people’s financial stress. D. Highlight debt-related problems. 15. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Cash Shopping: The Healthy Way of Consumption B. Money’s Emotional Cost: Beyond Invisible Payments C. BNPL: A New Approach to Boost Consumer Spending D. Financial Education: The Core to Cutting Expenses 【答案】12. D 13. C 14. A 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章指出分期付款减少消费痛苦，但可能引发超支和债务，强调金钱对心理健康的影响，并呼吁加强金融教育和债务相关讨论，以建立更健康的财务习惯。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“But with payment services Klarna or Clearpay, you can now pay for a new phone in three installments (分期付款) and barely notice the difference. This isn’t just a shopping habit; it’s a reflection of how we relate to money today. We are becoming increasingly free of the emotional burden of spending. (但有了Klarna或Clearpay支付服务，你现在可以分三期付款购买新手机，几乎察觉不到差别。这不仅仅是一种购物习惯；这反映了我们今天与金钱的关系。我们正逐渐摆脱消费带来的情感负担)”可知，作者指出，分期付款减少了人们消费时的心理负担。故选D项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Psychologists found that when the act of paying is separated from the act of purchasing, we experience less “pain of paying”, which makes us more likely to overspend. In societies where digital credit is easily accessible but financial education is limited, this behaviour can fall into lasting debt. (心理学家发现，当支付行为与购买行为分开时，我们经历的“支付之痛”就会减少，这使我们更有可能超支。在数字信贷容易获得但金融教育有限的社会，这种行为可能会陷入长期债务)”可知，“先买后付”可能导致超支和长期债务。故选C项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Financial education ought to be treated as essential in schools. Additionally, we should normalize debt-related conversations to relieve people’s feelings of shame. (金融教育应该在学校中被视为必不可少的。此外，我们应该使债务相关的对话正常化，以减轻人们的羞耻感)”可知，作者建议加强金融教育，而非掩盖羞耻感、掩饰财务压力，或强调债务问题。故选A项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段中“We are becoming increasingly free of the emotional burden of spending. Additionally, our mental health is being profoundly affected by this quiet shift. (我们正逐渐摆脱消费带来的情感负担。此外，我们的心理健康正受到这种悄然转变的深刻影响)”和最后一段“We live in a world where money is invisible. But the emotional burden it takes is very real. If we start noticing that cost, we might finally treat money not only as a resource, but as something deeply psychological. (我们生活在一个看不见金钱的世界。但它带来的情感负担是非常真实的。如果我们开始注意到这种成本，我们可能最终不仅把钱当作一种资源，而且把它当作一种深刻的心理东西)”可知，文章围绕“金钱的情感成本”展开，指出分期付款减少消费痛苦，但可能引发超支和债务，强调金钱对心理健康的影响，并呼吁加强金融教育和债务相关讨论，以建立更健康的财务习惯。因此，B项“金钱的情感成本：超越无形支付”最契合文章主旨，适合作为文章标题。故选B项。 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 How to Improve Mental Focus and Concentration Skills Have you ever felt like your mind is divided into a million directions? ____16____ This guide is packed with practical tips to help you achieve mind concentration and unlock your peak performance.

I was excited and nervous at the same time. Though I was happy to have the opportunity to see my friends after a long summer break, I could not help but feel anxious about the new academic (学业的) challenges and think about what classes. I was going to attend. As I reached the classroom door, my heart raced even faster and I had butterflies in my stomach. Seeing the sign that read “Welcome Freshmen”, I took a deep breath as if I were about to perform on a stage. I pushed the door open, expecting that the class would be quiet, but instead found it was filled with freshmen who were already chatting excitedly with each other. I quickly sat down at the first empty desk I saw. Since the teacher had not arrived yet, I started chatting with the students around me as well. Minutes later, our teacher entered. She was short and had black, silky hair. The frown (皱眉) on her face gave me the impression that she might be strict, but after her warm introduction, l realized that she was actually very kind. Her name was Mrs. Hutchinson. She welcomed us with a smile and gave us our first task: to write about what we would want to be or what our dream job would be ten years from now. 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。 I had no idea because I had never thought about what I wanted to do in the future. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ With Mrs. Hutchinson’s encouragement, three years later, I went to college and followed the dream I had. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: I had no idea because I had never thought about what I wanted to do in the future. A mix of confusion and curiosity washed over me. I looked around, and everyone else seemed to be writing with purpose and determination, except for me. Mrs. Hutchinson noticed my expression, came over to me with a warm smile, and said, “Dream big, and chase what makes you happy.” Taking a deep breath, I decided to write about my dream of becoming a teacher. In the following years, Mrs. Hutchinson was always there, providing guidance and advice whenever I needed it. With Mrs. Hutchinson’s encouragement, three years later, I went to college and followed the dream I had. At the start of my senior high school, I thought thinking about my future was the most challenging experience. However, it turned out that what I wrote that day set the course for my future. Now, as I stepped onto the college campus, I felt a sense of excitement and purpose. I was ready to embark on the next chapter of my journey, one that would lead me to become the teacher I had always dreamed of becoming. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者上高中的第一天既兴奋又紧张。哈钦森老师给全班同学布置的第一项任务是：写下十年后你想成为什么样的人，或者你梦想的工作是什么。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我不知道，因为我从来没有想过我将来想做什么。”可知，第一段可描写作者的困惑以及哈钦森老师的鼓励和帮助。 ②由第二段首句内容“在哈钦森老师的鼓励下，三年后，我上了大学，追寻我的梦想。”可知，第二段可描写作者对当年写下梦想的感悟以及作者对将来学习生活的信心。 2. 续写线索：作者困惑——受到鼓励——三年后上大学——回顾三年前写下的梦想——充满自信 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①决定：decide/determine ②提供：provide/offer ③追逐：chase/go after ④梦想：dream of/dream about 情绪类 ①兴奋：excitement/thrill ②快乐的：happy/pleased 【点睛】【高分句型1】In the following years, Mrs. Hutchinson was always there, providing guidance and advice whenever I needed it.(运用了whenever引导时间状语从句) 【高分句型2】Taking a deep breath, I decided to write about my dream of becoming a teacher.(运用了现在分词作状语) 【高分句型3】However, it turned out that what I wrote that day set the course for my future.(运用了what引导主语从句) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
