I started to focus more attentively on English classes, following Mr. Frank’s instructions with great care. I discovered the charm of how individual letters could form meaningful words. Although the progress was slow, that slight improvement still brought me some hope. Mr. Frank was always ready to offer me guidance whenever necessary. Gradually, I developed a deep admiration for English. I became more active in speaking up and communicating with my classmates. This new-found enthusiasm made me more outgoing and open-minded, and I even made some new friends. “Why don’t you draw a poster for the English drama show?” Mr. Frank said to me. Excited and nervous, I accepted. It was a good chance to contribute with my artistic skills. Over the next few days, I drew colorful posters combining text and pictures. The process helped me remember vocabulary and grammar points better. To my delight, Mr. Frank praised my work and selected one poster for the show. Seeing my artwork displayed in the school gave me a strong sense of belonging. Thanks to Mr. Frank’s encouragement and trust, I discovered the beauty of English and found the confidence to express myself. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，短文叙述了作者天生个子矮小，经常不自信。高二那年，作者和家人搬到了另外一个城市。在新的学校里，作者没有朋友，英语学习跟不上，甚至被同学嘲笑个子小，只能通过画画来打发时间。MrFrank 发现了上课注意力不集中的作者，给予鼓励。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“在他的话的鼓舞下，我开始改变对英语学习的态度”可知，第一段可描写我发生了什么变化?，MrFrank 还给了我哪些帮助。 ②由第二段首句内容“你为什么不为英国戏剧表演画一张海报呢？”可知，第二段可描写我答应了吗?我做了哪些准备?结果如何?我从中得到了什么启发? 2.续写线索：受到鼓励——积极改变——进步缓慢——带来希望——积极活跃——交到了朋友——老师询问——画了一些结合文字和图片的彩色海报——看到作品在学校里展出，有了强烈的归属感——感激 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①提供：offer /provide ②帮助：help/assist ③选择：select /choose ④赞扬：praise/speak highly of 情绪类 ①快乐：delight/pleasure ②热情：enthusiasm/warmth 【点睛】[高分句型1] Although the progress was slow, that slight improvement still brought me some hope.

It’s right on the corner. W: Thank you. Oh, could I have this bar of chocolate please? Text 6 W: Gavin, have you finished your project? You know your grandma and grandpa are coming today. We need to get the spare room ready for them and get some food. I’ll need your help. M: Sure. I don’t mind getting the sheet and blanket on. The house is pretty clean though, isn’t it?

I think it’s something else. I’ve felt sick for the past three days. W: Well, it could be heartburn. Do fatty foods or drinks like coffee set it off? M: No, I don’t know. But the chest pain has me worried! Do you think it could be cancer? W: We need to do some scans and blood work to narrow this down. I’ll book you an appointment for tomorrow. And don’t eat anything before the test. M: But I’m going out for a buffet tonight! I already bought the tickets last week. I’ve been looking forward to it. W: Not anymore. Doctor’s orders!

If you don’t have them, you can buy some at the campus store. Club members get 30% off. Plus, you can enjoy special meal rates at the school canteen. M: Cool. How about practice times? W: Mainly on weekends. Most sessions are at the East Gym — you can take bus No.5. If practice ends after 8 p.m. , we cover your taxi fare. M: Good to know. What skills do you value most? W: Teamwork is key! And a first-aid certificate is a plus. M: No problem. W: We need a Fitness Leader — 6−7 a.m. on weekdays. That role earns volunteer hours. Or a Junior Nutrition Assistant helping with meal plans, from 3 to 5 p.m. on Fridays. M: The afternoon role suits me better — I have morning classes. Text 10 M: This is the afternoon traffic update. A major accident involving several cars has occurred on the Harbour Bridge into the city, and it is now blocked in both directions. All traffic heading into the city is being directed to use another road, causing delays of over an hour. Drivers are strongly advised to avoid this area and use a different bridge instead. Separately, on the M4 highway, a large truck has broken down in the main lane near a popular exit, resulting in very slow traffic for those traveling away from the city. Emergency services are on scene, but delays are expected to last through the evening rush hour. Lastly, due to repairs earlier today, train services on the T1 Western Line have restarted but are running up to twenty minutes late.

In the early afternoon, when he was planning to go home, a fierce snowstorm swept the area. Unable to see far, he accidentally turned off the path. Before he knew it, Nicholas was lost, all alone! He didn’t have food, water or a phone. He was getting colder by the minute. Nicholas had no idea where he was. He tried not to panic. He thought about all the survival shows he had watched on TV. It was time to put the tips he had learned to use. He decided to stop skiing. There would be a better chance of someone finding him if he stayed put. The first thing he did was to seek shelter from the freezing wind and snow. If he didn’t, his body temperature would get very low, which could quickly kill him. Using his skis, Nicholas built a snow cave. He gathered a huge mass of snow and dug a hole in the middle. Then he piled branches on top of himself, like a blanket, to stay as warm as he could. By that evening, Nicholas was really hungry. He ate snow and drank water from a nearby stream so that his body wouldn’t lose too much water. Not knowing how much longer he could last, Nicholas huddled (蜷缩) in his cave and slept. The next day, Nicholas went out to look for help, but he couldn’t find anyone. He had to follow his tracks and return to the snow cave. On Tuesday, Nicholas went out again to seek help. He had walked for about a mile when a volunteer searcher found him. Having been stuck in the snow for two days, Nicholas was saved. Had it not been for TV, Nicholas might not have survived this snowstorm. He had often watched Bear Grylls’ survival show Man vs.Wild. That’s where he learned the tips that saved his life. When Bear heard about Nicholas’ amazing deeds, he was super impressed that Nicholas had made it since he knew better than anyone how hard Nicholas had to work to stay alive. 24. What caused Nicholas to get lost on the mountain? A. Having no guides to help him. B. Forgetting the way back. C. The terrible weather. D. His poor eyesight. 25. How did Nicholas keep himself warm? A. He built a snow cave. B. He found a shelter. C. He kept on skiing. D. He made a fire. 26. Why was Bear Grylls’ show mentioned? A. It was Nicholas’ favorite TV program. B. It taught Nicholas useful knowledge. C. Nicholas shared his story on the show. D. Bear Grylls asked Nicholas to make a TV interview. 27. Which of the following may best describe Nicholas? A. Brave and cool-headed. B. Responsible and curious. C. Lucky and smart. D. Confident and outgoing. C A recent study has discovered that gentle sound stimulation, referred to as pink noise, could enhance deep sleep among older adults and strengthen their word recall abilities. Deep sleep is critical for memory consolidation. But beginning in middle age, it decreases considerably, contributing to memory loss in aging. The sound stimulation significantly enhanced deep sleep in participants and their scores on a memory test. This innovative approach offers a simple and safe means to potentially enhance memory among older individuals and mitigate the natural age-related memory decline. A team of researchers from the Northwestern University in the US gathered 13 adults aged 60 and above, monitoring their sleep in a lab for two nights. On both nights, the participants underwent a memory test, went to bed while wearing headphones and a special cap, and took the memory test again in the morning. But without the participants’ awareness, researchers only played pink noise into the headphones on one night. More specifically, they timed the sounds to match the participants’ slow-wave oscillations (振荡). During deep sleep, brain waves slow to approximately one oscillation per second, compared to about ten oscillations per second during wakefulness. The system they employed in the study allowed the team to deliver a low burst of pink noise at the “precise moment” when the participants’ slow waves rose — a pattern that is unique to each person. The study found that participants’ slow waves increased after the night of sound stimulation, suggesting a potential enhancement in their deep sleep quality. And in the morning after hearing pink noise, they performed three times better on memory tests than they did after sleeping without any sound stimulation. The study was a relatively small one and Northwestern has taken steps to confirm its findings and to study how longer-term use of pink noise affects sleep. The team aims to develop an affordable device that people can use at home, from the comfort of their beds. 28. What did the study reveal about the impact of pink noise? A. It disturbs overall sleep quality. B. It boosts memory performance. C. It increases the length of sleep. D. It weakens word recall abilities. 29. What does the underlined word “mitigate” probably means? A. Worsen. B. Notice. C. Decrease. D. Describe. 30. What can be learned about the new study? A. It adjusted participants’ slow-wave oscillations precisely. B. It employed a sound system to match slow-wave oscillations. C. It compared different sound effects on the elderly and the youth. D. It played various sorts of pink noises into participants’ headphones. 31. What can be inferred about the approach used in the study? A. It has the potential to be put into practice. B. It is affordable for a small number of people. C. It requires an innovative and affordable device. D. It lacks researchers’ interest in confirming findings. D A new study suggests that science role-playing may help tighten the gender gap in science, technology, engineering, and math(STEM)education and careers for women simply by improving their identity as scientists. Frustrated by the gender gap in STEM, in which some fields employ at least three times more men than women, Cornell graduate student Reut Shachnai wanted to do something about it. Reut said the idea to help foster young girls’ interest in science came to her during a lecture in a class she was taking on Psychology of Imagination. Reut designed an experiment to test if assuming the role of a successful scientist would improve girls’ persistence in a “sink or float” science game. The game itself was simple yet challenging: a computer screen projected a slide with an object in the center above a pool of water. Kids then had to predict whether the object would sink or float. She studied 240 four -to -seven -year -olds, because this is around the time kids first develop their sense of identity and capabilities. They were divided into two groups. Children in the “story” group learned about the successes and struggles of a gender -matched scientist before playing the game. Boys heard about Isaac Newton and girls were told about Marie Curie. Children in the “pretend” group were told to assume the identity of the scientist they just learned about. All kids played at least one round of the game. No matter what group they were in, girls got the answers right just as often as boys -nearly 70% of the time. Boys, however, didn’t really benefit from the stories or make-believe. Besides, girls pretending to be Dr. Marie persisted twice as long at the sink-or-float game, playing just as much as the boys did. Reut’s teacher Tamar Kushnir said, “Rather than merely hearing about role models, children may benefit from actively performing the type of actions they see role models perform. In other words, taking a few steps in the role model’s shoes, instead of merely observing her walk.” 32. Why did Reut design a “sink or float” science game? A. To handle the gender gap in STEM. B. To attach importance to STEM. C. To draw kids’ attention to STEM. D. To compare boys’ and girls’ persistence. 33. What can we infer from the sink-or-float game? A. Kids enjoyed listening to scientists’ stories. B. Boys avoided playing make-believe games. C. Girls performed as well as boys in science. D. Children followed Dr. Marie to explore science. 34. What is Tamar Kushnir’s attitude towards kids’ assuming identity as scientists? A. Supportive. B. Doubtful. C. Indifferent. D. Negative. 35. What would be the best title for the passage? A. Girls should get recognition like boys B. A fine example has boundless power for kids C. Girls can work on more science games D. Make-believe exercises benefit girls in STEM 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。 If you’re looking for ways to improve running, here are the best tips for getting better at running.

During my second year of high school, my family moved to a different city. Getting used to life as a new kid has always been difficult for me, and this move made it more challenging. In my new school, I felt physically and mentally uneasy. Other students had already built friendships, leaving me without a friend. Besides, I found English learning boring and didn’t know what to do during English classes. So, I spent my free time drawing because that was what I usually did when I was alone. I still recall the first day in the school dining hall. While waiting in line for food, I heard a group of students excitedly discussing an upcoming English drama show for freshmen. As I passed by, they glanced at me with surprise. “He looks so small,” someone said in a low voice. My face burned with embarrassment and I bent my head. Pretending not to hear them, I slipped into the farthest seat available and had my meal alone. In my first English class, I sat at my desk, staring blankly at the book. The letters and words seemed to dance confusingly across the page and laugh at me. Losing interest quickly, I began drawing on the book. A few minutes later, my English teacher, Mr. Frank — a kind man — walked up to me. “Nice drawing,” he said gently. “You know, language is also an art form; it carries its own charm (魅力) and beauty. I believe you could find English attractive if you discover where to begin.” 注意： (1) 续写词数应为150个左右； (2) 请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 Encouraged by his words, I began to change my attitude towards English learning. ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ “Why not draw a poster for the English drama show?” Mr. Frank said to me. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 1 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
