It is a “natural park” with beautiful mountains and amazing rivers, and a “cultural hub” with multiple minorities and unique ethnic customs. So, when you visit Guizhou, you will not only enjoy its unbelievable landscapes, but also personally experience its unique ethnic customs, cultures and festivals. Miao Villages Among the 17 ethnic groups in Guizhou, Miao minority has the largest population which are widely scattered (分散的) with complicated branches. Miao people have very distinctive features in costumes, food, music, batik (蜡染) and festivals in different areas. “San Yue San” Festival, Miao New Year Festival, sour soup and stilted buildings (Diaojiaolou) are the common symbols of Miao. To fully explore Miao cultures, you’d better to go to Kaili and its surroundings. Dong Villages Dong people (also known as Kam) are another large ethnic minority in China. About 55 percent of them live in Guizhou Province, with a population about 1.6 million. Dong people have their own language and featured architectures. Exquisite drum towers and beautiful village gate become the most important symbols of Dong. Numerous Dong villages are scattered in the remote mountains in those counties. Of course, you can experience the festivals — Grand Song of Dong People, and see Wind and Rain Bridges and Drum Towers in the villages. 1. What is special about Guizhou? A. It has the most ethnic groups. B. It is the only province without plains. C. It is popular with international travelers. D. It has the largest number of natural parks. 2. What can people experience in both Miao and Dong villages? A. Make batik and sing the Grand Song. B. Taste sour soup and visit Wind and Rain Bridges. C. Enjoy ethnic festivals and see traditional buildings. D. Wear special costumes and speak their own languages. 3. Where is this text probably taken from? A. A textbook. B. A travel brochure. C. An encyclopedia. D. A history magazine. 【答案】1. B 2. C 3. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了中国贵州的独特之处、苗族和侗族的特色文化与景点，吸引游客前往参观体验。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Guizhou, a less-known province to international travelers located in Southwest China, is the only province in China without any plains and is home to 17 ethnic groups.( 贵州位于中国西南部，对国际游客来说是个不太知名的省份，它是中国唯一一个没有平原的省份，且是17个少数民族的聚居地)”可知，贵州的特别之处是中国唯一没有平原的省份。故选B。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“ “San Yue San” Festival, Miao New Year Festival, sour soup and stilted buildings (Diaojiaolou) are the common symbols of Miao.( “三月三”节、苗年节、酸汤和吊脚楼是苗族的常见标志)”和第三段中的“Of course, you can experience the festivals — Grand Song of Dong People, and see Wind and Rain Bridges and Drum Towers in the villages.( 当然，你可以体验侗族大歌等节日，还能在村里看到风雨桥和鼓楼)”可知，两者都能让人们体验民族节日和观赏传统建筑。故选C。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“So, when you visit Guizhou, you will not only enjoy its unbelievable landscapes, but also personally experience its unique ethnic customs, cultures and festivals.( 所以，当你游览贵州时，你不仅能欣赏到令人惊叹的风景，还能亲身感受其独特的民族习俗、文化和节日)”可知，文章介绍贵州的旅游资源，目的是吸引游客，因此可能来自旅游手册。故选B。 B Much like beauty, art is in the eye of the beholder. The artwork we are attracted to can give insight into our personality, such as whether we are too quick or too slow, calm or moody. Studies into art preferences date back to the 1930s — most of them examining the extent to which people like or dislike different paintings. Research shows that a person’s interest in art is more strongly related to certain personality traits (特征) than to social class, age, or gender. In particular, a personality trait called “openness” is the best predictor of whether individuals are interested in art. On the other side, those who identify as “conscientious (一丝不苟的)”, are often less drawn to the arts. These traits are part of the Big Five, a widely accepted personality theory based on nearly a century of research. The model claims that each personality is composed of a combination of five core traits: openness, conscientiousness, extroversion, agreeableness and neuroticism. Rather than stating a person as being either shy or outgoing, the Big Five Model believes that everyone lies somewhere between the two extremes. Personality traits may also affect the way people visually scan art. A 2018 study tracked participants’ eye movements as they studied abstract artwork. The majority of participants concentrated on the upper-right part. This makes sense, as the right half of the brain is specialized for visual and spatial processing, and also plays a significant role in processing the emotions that art draws out. However, participants who tended toward emotional instability focused on the left side of the picture, and those with mental disease paid more attention to the bottom of the picture. However, current research on personality and art still has clear limitations, reminding us that people’s preferences for art are as complicated as art itself. But if you’re looking for a quick test of someone’s general personality traits, it doesn’t hurt to look at what’s hanging on their walls. 4. What is the strongest factor in determining a person’s interest in art? A. Age and gender. B. Personality characteristics. C. Social class. D. Educational background. 5. What can we learn about the Big Five Model? A. It can explain why our art taste changes. B. It is well-supported by artists worldwide. C. Everyone can fit into one of the five types. D. It is a universally-recognized measuring model. 6. According to the passage, a person focusing on the upper-right part of a painting is probably ______. A. moody B. unconcerned C. perceptive D. warlike 7. What is the best title of this passage? A. How to discover your art preference? B. Why is art appealing to many people? C. How to reveal one’s personality traits? D. What does your taste in art say about you? 【答案】4. B 5. D 6. C 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要探讨了艺术偏好与人格特质之间的关系，介绍了影响人们艺术兴趣的关键因素、人格特质对艺术视觉浏览方式的影响以及相关研究的局限性。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Research shows that a person’s interest in art is more strongly related to certain personality traits (特征) than to social class, age, or gender.(研究表明，一个人对艺术的兴趣与其某些个性特征的关系比与社会阶层、年龄或性别的关系更密切。)”可知，决定一个人对艺术兴趣的最强因素是个性特征。故选B项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“These traits are part of the Big Five, a widely accepted personality theory based on nearly a century of research.(这些特征是“大五人格”的一部分，“大五人格”是一种被广泛接受的人格理论，基于近一个世纪的研究。)”可知，“大五人格”模型是一个被普遍认可的测量模型。故选D项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“The majority of participants concentrated on the upper-right part. This makes sense, as the right half of the brain is specialized for visual and spatial processing, and also plays a significant role in processing the emotions that art draws out.(大多数参与者集中在右上角。这是有道理的，因为大脑的右半球专门负责视觉和空间处理，也在处理艺术所引发的情感方面发挥着重要作用。)”可推知，关注右上部与右脑功能相关，右脑通常与感知力（perceptive）、情感处理相关。故选C项。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，结合第一段中的“The artwork we are attracted to can give insight into our personality, such as whether we are too quick or too slow, calm or moody.(我们被吸引的艺术作品可以洞察我们的个性，比如我们是太快还是太慢，冷静还是情绪化。)”可知，文章开篇点明艺术偏好能反映人格，并且在文章最后一段最后一句“But if you’re looking for a quick test of someone’s general personality traits, it doesn’t hurt to look at what’s hanging on their walls.(但如果你想快速了解某人的大致人格特质，看看他们墙上挂的东西也无妨。)”提到艺术偏好可作为人格测试的参考。可知，文章主要探讨了艺术偏好与个性特征之间的关系，指出我们被吸引的艺术作品可以洞察我们的个性，所以D项（你的艺术品味说明了你什么？）概括了艺术品味与人格的关系。是文章最佳标题。故选D项。 C When was the last time you thought about music, and what role does music play in your life? If you enjoy music every day, you are likely gaining many benefits. Music has a mathematical structure based on relationships between one note and the next. You may not be aware of it, but your brain has to do a lot of computing to make sense of it. So, not surprisingly, listening to music can improve learning, memory, and mental alertness (警觉性). It also boosts concentration and mindfulness, as listening, playing, or moving to music keeps you focused in the present moment and even puts you “in the zone” where you experience the happy state of “flow”. Research has shown that listening to music can reduce anxiety, blood pressure, and pain, and improve sleep quality, mood, well-being, and happiness. And especially when moving to music, your brain gets washed in beneficial “feel-good” hormones (激素). So music can potentially extend your life and enhance its quality. Music is a vital element of culture, and every culture has specific types of music created, produced, and enjoyed by its people. In the U. S. alone, there are dozens of popular types, including Afro-beat, bluegrass, classical, and country. All these types of music have different origins and are associated with different subcultures, but they can be enjoyed by anyone, leading to cross-cultural appreciation and communication. Musical traditions are also connected to cultural celebrations — think about the music you associate with birthdays, graduations, weddings, and so on. Your music preference in the moment can depend on how you want to feel. You likely pick specific types of music depending on whether you’re looking to relax or exercise, trying to be productive, or romantic. The right music can boost your mood and motivation to clean up, do homework, or work out. In contrast, you likely avoid music that makes you sad, or bored. 8. What is the function of the question in the beginning? A. To put forward a new concept. B. To offer some advice for readers. C. To get the information of your interest. D. To lead in the topic to be talked about. 9. Why can listening to music improve your ability to pay attention? A. It keeps you concentrated. B. It makes you do computing. C. It builds relations between notes. D. It draws your interest in new things. 10. The author mentions American music in paragraph 4 to show that ______. A. music connects different peoples B. the USA is a country with diverse cultures C. each type of music is enjoyed by unique people D. not all kinds of music are popular with people 11. What can you infer from the last paragraph? A. Music has little effect on people’s emotions. B. People choose music based on their desired emotions. C. All types of music make people feel energetic. D. Sad music is always avoided by people. 【答案】8. D 9. A 10. A 11. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文探讨了音乐在人们生活中多重角色和益处，包括其对大脑功能的积极影响、文化的重要性以及根据个人情绪选择音乐的方式。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。文章第一段提出“When was the last time you thought about music, and what role does music play in your life?(你上一次想到音乐是什么时候，音乐在你的生活中扮演什么角色？)”，后文围绕音乐在生活中的作用展开，因此开头的问题是为了引出文章要讨论的话题。故选D。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“It also boosts concentration and mindfulness, as listening, playing, or moving to music keeps you focused in the present moment and even puts you “in the zone” where you experience the happy state of “flow”.(它还能提升专注力与觉察力，因为聆听、演奏音乐或随着音乐律动，能让你专注于当下，甚至让你进入“心流区”，在这个状态下，你会体验到“心流” 带来的愉悦感。)”可知，听音乐能提高注意力是因为它让你集中注意力。故选A。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“Music is a vital element of culture, and every culture has specific types of music created, produced, and enjoyed by its people.(音乐是文化的重要组成部分，每种文化都有其人民创造、制作和欣赏的特定类型的音乐。)”和“All these types of music have different origins and are associated with different subcultures, but they can be enjoyed by anyone, leading to cross-cultural appreciation and communication.(所有这些类型的音乐都有不同的起源，并与不同的亚文化相关联，但任何人都可以欣赏它们，从而导致跨文化的欣赏和交流。)”可知，作者提到美国音乐是为了表明音乐连接不同的人。故选A。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Your music preference in the moment can depend on how you want to feel.(你此刻的音乐偏好可能取决于你想要的感觉。)”可知，人们根据自己的情绪选择音乐。故选B。 D Fighting fires usually uses water or foam, but these can make a mess and harm the surroundings. To address this, engineers at Ohio State University have now made handheld tools that put out fires cleanly with “ionic (离子的) wind” and vortex (涡流) rings. If you’ve ever blown out a birthday candle, you’ll know that a quick burst of air can be enough to put out a flame. It works by separating the heat from the fuel so it can’t start again. But blowing on a campfire doesn’t help — it’s too big, and you just add oxygen. The new device is like a bigger version of the birthday candle trick. First, it shoots a vortex ring of air that creates wild airflow to split heat and fuel. At the same time, the vortex carries tiny conductive particles (导电颗粒) that ionize the air and make even more vortex. In practice, firefighters would aim this handheld tool at a fire and shoot these “ionic wind” rings to put it out. That would also reduce the expense and cleanup. “Using ionic wind and vortex ring technology, we found a more efficient way to solve an environmental problem that will improve lives,” lead researcher John Larocco said. One of the biggest advantages of this device is that it allows firefighters to put out flames from a safer distance, reducing the risk of injury. Since vortex rings can carry chemicals over long distances, firefighters wouldn’t need to get dangerously close to fires. Much more work still needs to be done, however. For one thing, the devices were tested on groups of candles, which aren’t like real house or forest fires. Testing them against more realistic fires is a priority for future experiments. Still, the team thinks this technology could really work in the real world. The researchers also believe this device could be improved with smart sensors and image analysis, making it more precise in detecting different types of fires. Beyond firefighting, this technology could have future applications in aerospace and industrial safety. 12. Why did engineers at Ohio State University invent the new handheld tools? A. To take full advantage of water and foam. B. To enhance firefighters’ professional skills. C. To abandon traditional firefighting methods. D. To reduce the rescue damage to the environment. 13. What does the author try to illustrate by mentioning the birthday candle in paragraph 2? A. The principle of putting out a flame by air. B. The efficient way to blow out a birthday candle. C. The difference between a small flame and a campfire. D. The reason why blowing on a campfire doesn’t work. 14. Why can the new device lower the risk of injuries? A. It creates stronger wind than other tools. B. It absorbs harmful substances in the smoke. C. It enables users to stay farther from the fire. D. It allows firemen to avoid using chemicals. 15. What is the researchers’ expectation for the new device? A. It will prevent all types of fire. B. It will reform the aerospace industry. C It will be more intelligent and accurate. D. It will be widely used by ordinary people. 【答案】12. D 13. A 14. C 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了研究人员发明了一种新型灭火工具。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Fighting fires usually uses water or foam, but these can make a mess and harm the surroundings. To address this, engineers at Ohio State University have now made handheld tools that put out fires cleanly with “ionic (离子的) wind” and vortex (涡流) rings. (灭火通常会使用水或泡沫，但这些方法可能会造成混乱并对周围环境造成损害。为了解决这个问题，俄亥俄州立大学的工程师们现在研制出了手持式工具，它们利用“离子风”和涡旋环来干净地扑灭火灾。)”可知，文章第一段提到传统灭火方式会造成混乱并破坏周围环境，为解决这一问题，工程师们制造出一种新型手持工具。故选D。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“If you’ve ever blown out a birthday candle, you’ll know that a quick burst of air can be enough to put out a flame. It works by separating the heat from the fuel so it can’t start again. But blowing on a campfire doesn’t help — it’s too big, and you just add oxygen. (如果你曾经吹灭过生日蜡烛，你就会知道，一股快速吹出的气流就足以扑灭火焰。其原理是将热量与燃料分离开来，这样火焰就无法再次燃烧了。但对着篝火吹气却没什么效果——篝火太大了，你这样做只会增加氧气的供应。)”可知，作者提及生日蜡烛意在说明通过空气扑灭火焰的原理。故选A。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“One of the biggest advantages of this device is that it allows firefighters to put out flames from a safer distance, reducing the risk of injury. Since vortex rings can carry chemicals over long distances, firefighters wouldn’t need to get dangerously close to fires. (该设备的最大优势之一在于，它能让消防员在更安全的距离扑灭火焰，从而降低受伤的风险。由于涡旋环能够将化学物质远距离输送，消防员就不必冒险靠近火灾现场了。)”可知，这种装置最大的优点之一是它可以让消防员从更安全的距离扑灭火焰，减少受伤的风险。由于涡流环可以将化学物质携带到很远的地方，消防员不需要危险地靠近火场。故选C。 【15题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Still, the team thinks this technology could really work in the real world. The researchers also believe this device could be improved with smart sensors and image analysis, making it more precise in detecting different types of fires. Beyond firefighting, this technology could have future applications in aerospace and industrial safety. (不过，该团队认为这项技术在实际应用中确实可行。研究人员还相信，通过配备智能传感器和图像分析技术，该设备能够更精确地检测不同类型的火灾。除了用于灭火之外，这项技术在航空航天和工业安全领域也可能有未来的应用前景。)”可知，研究人员希望这个新设备更智能，更精准。故选C。 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。 People say fortune favors the brave, but taking a leap is easier said than done. ___16___ ●Embrace strategic risk. One of the biggest misconceptions about risk-taking is that if something feels uncomfortable, it’s a sign to back away. But researches have taught us this: ___17___ Ask yourself, “Does this risk match my values? Is it moving me toward something I care about?” If yes, expect some embarrassment. The biggest payoffs live just past that initial awkward phase. ● ___18___ Many of us have grown too afraid of taking risks — maybe because one risk made us embarrassed. A good way to feel less scared of risks is to ask yourself: “What’s one small thing I can do to get used to not knowing what will happen?” Start with bite-size, winnable risks, like speaking up in a meeting, volunteering for a project slightly outside your wheelhouse. ●Breathe in bravery. Breathe out fear. ___19___ In other words, taking a few deep breaths helps regulate anxiety. Another easy way to stretch your risk- taking muscles is by copying someone you admire. Imagine them in your shoes and how they'd approach your challenge. How would they talk, walk or hold themselves? Even standing tall sends a signal to your brain that “you’ve got this”. ●Forgive yourself. We all have moments when we don't do the thing that will help us grow. And that’s okay! Instead of beating yourself up, forgive yourself because you’re human. ___20___ Being kind to yourself may just be the best way to step forward toward a braver version of yourself. A. Enjoy small wins. B. Our body impacts our mind. C. Overcome unexpected fears. D. No one is courageous all the time. E. Humans always have high expectations. F. Bravery and awkwardness are sisters in life. G. The following tips will help you outsmart fear. 【答案】16. G 17. F 18. A 19. B 20.

Still, the smallest things made me feel out of place. Luckily, the Wilsons, my host family, did everything they could to help me settle in — driving me around, sharing meals, and even letting me use their kitchen when. I. missed Chinese food. With their warmth and support, everything seemed to fall into place. But at school, small moments felt bigger than I’d imagined. In our first literature class, we discussed a Hemingway story. Everyone jumped in actively, while I struggled to speak up. My desk-mate encouraged me, “Next time, just speak up.” I nodded, forcing a bitter smile. And just like that, I found myself in another cultural trap, Mrs. Wilson’s birthday dinner. At the table, I answered politely but kept mostly to myself. Mrs. Wilson noticed my silence and gently asked, “You alright, sweet girl? You’ re so quiet tonight.” My face reddened. Was my silence seen as cold, rather than polite? That night, restless and wide awake, I wondered if I needed to laugh louder, speak faster; or hide parts of myself just to feel I belonged. Questions flooded my mind, none with answers. A few days later, our teacher announced there would be a Culture Festival next week. “You’ ll prepare a stand to share your own culture — food, crafts, customs ... anything meaningful. You can not only display your culture but also make it interactive, allowing people to try new things, learn traditional skills. or share stories and cultural symbols,” she said. The class lit up with excitement. I sat frozen, mind racing: how could I share my traditions in English? The thought made my stomach twisted (扭曲). Yet, I gathered myself with a deep breath and signed up. After that, I threw myself wholeheartedly into preparations, until the day finally came. 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。 At the Culture Festival, I stood behind my stand, nervous but ready. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ From that day on, my world here started to change. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】【参考范文】（116+115词） At the Culture Festival, I stood behind my stand, nervous but ready. Taking a deep breath, I once again neatly arranged all the well-prepared items: red paper and scissors. Soon, students and teachers gathered, curiosity in their eyes. I welcomed them with a smile and demonstrated: fold, cut, unfold — and a butterfly spread its wings. A wave of surprise rippled through the crowd. Encouraged, I invited a boy to try; his star turned out uneven, yet drew laughter and applause. More joined eagerly, and I moved among them, guiding their hands, praising their efforts and celebrating each creation. When a teacher proudly held up her paper flower, the cheers grew louder. Red pieces fell to the floor, and my confidence, once hidden, shone through every new pattern. From that day on my world here started to change. In the hallway, students waved butterflies from my stand and greeted me with bright “Ni hao!” My heart lifted as I waved back. In literature class, I gave voice to my ideas with newfound confidence. My English was not flawless, yet my voice was steady, and instead of silence I saw nods and smiles. After class, a girl asked softly, “Can you show us more about your culture?” Her words lingered in my heart, echoing like a gentle reminder. In that echo, I realized I had not only broken free from cultural shock but also found my place in a shared story — one written by many voices, yet open enough to hold my own. 【解析】 【导语】文章以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者作为交换生到新西兰的一个小镇，虽做好了应对各种困难的准备，但仍因小事感到不适应。在寄宿家庭中，威尔逊一家给予温暖支持；但在学校，作者在课堂讨论和文化场景中遭遇交流困境，陷入文化困惑。后来，老师宣布举办文化节，作者虽担心无法用英语分享传统文化，但还是报名并全身心投入准备。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段首句内容“文化节那天，我站在自己的摊位后，既紧张又满怀期待。”可知，第一段可描写作者精心准备并教周围人剪纸的经过。 ②由第二段首句内容“从那天起，我在这里的生活开始悄然改变。”可知，第二段可描写文化节对作者的生活产生的影响以及作者的感悟。 2.续写线索：摆放材料——吸引师生——展示剪纸艺术——教大家剪纸——受他人反馈鼓励——隐藏的自信逐渐显露——自我价值反思 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①赞美：praise/speak highly of ②意识到：realize/be aware of ③鼓励：encourage/inspire 情绪类 ①惊讶：surprise/astonishment ②渴望地：eagerly/longingly 【点睛】[高分句型1]Taking a deep breath, I once again neatly arranged all the well-prepared items: red paper and scissors.（运用了现在分词短语作状语） [高分句型2]In that echo, I realized I had not only broken free from cultural shock but also found my place in a shared story — one written by many voices, yet open enough to hold my own.（运用了省略了that的宾语从句，过去分词短语作后置定语） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2025-2026学年高三级12月月考英语科试卷 注意事项： 1.答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名，准考证号等填写在答题卡上。 2回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡上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。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上。写在本试卷上无效。 考试时间为120分钟，满分120分 第二部分 阅读 (共两节,满分50分) 第一节 (共15小题: 每小题2.5分, 满分37.5分) 阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A Guizhou, a less-known province to international travelers located in Southwest China, is the only province in China without any plains and is home to 17 ethnic (种族的) groups. It is a “natural park” with beautiful mountains and amazing rivers, and a “cultural hub” with multiple minorities and unique ethnic customs. So, when you visit Guizhou, you will not only enjoy its unbelievable landscapes, but also personally experience its unique ethnic customs, cultures and festivals. Miao Villages Among the 17 ethnic groups in Guizhou, Miao minority has the largest population which are widely scattered (分散的) with complicated branches. Miao people have very distinctive features in costumes, food, music, batik (蜡染) and festivals in different areas. “San Yue San” Festival, Miao New Year Festival, sour soup and stilted buildings (Diaojiaolou) are the common symbols of Miao. To fully explore Miao cultures, you’d better to go to Kaili and its surroundings. Dong Villages Dong people (also known as Kam) are another large ethnic minority in China. About 55 percent of them live in Guizhou Province, with a population about 1.6 million. Dong people have their own language and featured architectures. Exquisite drum towers and beautiful village gate become the most important symbols of Dong. Numerous Dong villages are scattered in the remote mountains in those counties. Of course, you can experience the festivals — Grand Song of Dong People, and see Wind and Rain Bridges and Drum Towers in the villages. 1. What is special about Guizhou? A It has the most ethnic groups. B. It is the only province without plains. C. It is popular with international travelers. D. It has the largest number of natural parks. 2. What can people experience in both Miao and Dong villages? A. Make batik and sing the Grand Song. B. Taste sour soup and visit Wind and Rain Bridges. C. Enjoy ethnic festivals and see traditional buildings. D. Wear special costumes and speak their own languages. 3. Where is this text probably taken from? A. A textbook. B. A travel brochure. C. An encyclopedia. D. A history magazine. B Much like beauty, art is in the eye of the beholder. The artwork we are attracted to can give insight into our personality, such as whether we are too quick or too slow, calm or moody. Studies into art preferences date back to the 1930s — most of them examining the extent to which people like or dislike different paintings. Research shows that a person’s interest in art is more strongly related to certain personality traits (特征) than to social class, age, or gender. In particular, a personality trait called “openness” is the best predictor of whether individuals are interested in art. On the other side, those who identify as “conscientious (一丝不苟的)”, are often less drawn to the arts. These traits are part of the Big Five, a widely accepted personality theory based on nearly a century of research. The model claims that each personality is composed of a combination of five core traits: openness, conscientiousness, extroversion, agreeableness and neuroticism. Rather than stating a person as being either shy or outgoing, the Big Five Model believes that everyone lies somewhere between the two extremes. Personality traits may also affect the way people visually scan art. A 2018 study tracked participants’ eye movements as they studied abstract artwork. The majority of participants concentrated on the upper-right part. This makes sense, as the right half of the brain is specialized for visual and spatial processing, and also plays a significant role in processing the emotions that art draws out. However, participants who tended toward emotional instability focused on the left side of the picture, and those with mental disease paid more attention to the bottom of the picture. However, current research on personality and art still has clear limitations, reminding us that people’s preferences for art are as complicated as art itself. But if you’re looking for a quick test of someone’s general personality traits, it doesn’t hurt to look at what’s hanging on their walls. 4 What is the strongest factor in determining a person’s interest in art? A. Age and gender. B. Personality characteristics. C. Social class. D. Educational background. 5. What can we learn about the Big Five Model? A. It can explain why our art taste changes. B. It is well-supported by artists worldwide. C. Everyone can fit into one of the five types. D. It is a universally-recognized measuring model. 6. According to the passage, a person focusing on the upper-right part of a painting is probably ______. A. moody B. unconcerned C. perceptive D. warlike 7. What is the best title of this passage? A. How to discover your art preference? B. Why is art appealing to many people? C. How to reveal one’s personality traits? D. What does your taste in art say about you? C When was the last time you thought about music, and what role does music play in your life? If you enjoy music every day, you are likely gaining many benefits. Music has a mathematical structure based on relationships between one note and the next. You may not be aware of it but your brain has to do a lot of computing to make sense of it. So, not surprisingly, listening to music can improve learning, memory, and mental alertness (警觉性). It also boosts concentration and mindfulness, as listening, playing, or moving to music keeps you focused in the present moment and even puts you “in the zone” where you experience the happy state of “flow”. Research has shown that listening to music can reduce anxiety, blood pressure, and pain, and improve sleep quality, mood, well-being, and happiness. And especially when moving to music, your brain gets washed in beneficial “feel-good” hormones (激素). So music can potentially extend your life and enhance its quality. Music is a vital element of culture, and every culture has specific types of music created, produced, and enjoyed by its people. In the U. S. alone, there are dozens of popular types, including Afro-beat, bluegrass, classical, and country. All these types of music have different origins and are associated with different subcultures, but they can be enjoyed by anyone, leading to cross-cultural appreciation and communication. Musical traditions are also connected to cultural celebrations — think about the music you associate with birthdays, graduations, weddings, and so on. Your music preference in the moment can depend on how you want to feel. You likely pick specific types of music depending on whether you’re looking to relax or exercise, trying to be productive, or romantic. The right music can boost your mood and motivation to clean up, do homework, or work out. In contrast, you likely avoid music that makes you sad, or bored. 8. What is the function of the question in the beginning? A. To put forward a new concept. B. To offer some advice for readers. C. To get the information of your interest. D. To lead in the topic to be talked about. 9. Why can listening to music improve your ability to pay attention? A. It keeps you concentrated. B. It makes you do computing. C. It builds relations between notes. D. It draws your interest in new things. 10. The author mentions American music in paragraph 4 to show that ______. A. music connects different peoples B. the USA is a country with diverse cultures C. each type of music is enjoyed by unique people D. not all kinds of music are popular with people 11. What can you infer from the last paragraph? A. Music has little effect on people’s emotions. B. People choose music based on their desired emotions. C. All types of music make people feel energetic. D. Sad music is always avoided by people. D Fighting fires usually uses water or foam, but these can make a mess and harm the surroundings. To address this, engineers at Ohio State University have now made handheld tools that put out fires cleanly with “ionic (离子的) wind” and vortex (涡流) rings. If you’ve ever blown out a birthday candle, you’ll know that a quick burst of air can be enough to put out a flame. It works by separating the heat from the fuel so it can’t start again. But blowing on a campfire doesn’t help — it’s too big, and you just add oxygen. The new device is like a bigger version of the birthday candle trick. First, it shoots a vortex ring of air that creates wild airflow to split heat and fuel. At the same time, the vortex carries tiny conductive particles (导电颗粒) that ionize the air and make even more vortex. In practice, firefighters would aim this handheld tool at a fire and shoot these “ionic wind” rings to put it out. That would also reduce the expense and cleanup. “Using ionic wind and vortex ring technology, we found a more efficient way to solve an environmental problem that will improve lives,” lead researcher John Larocco said. One of the biggest advantages of this device is that it allows firefighters to put out flames from a safer distance, reducing the risk of injury. Since vortex rings can carry chemicals over long distances, firefighters wouldn’t need to get dangerously close to fires. Much more work still needs to be done, however. For one thing, the devices were tested on groups of candles, which aren’t like real house or forest fires. Testing them against more realistic fires is a priority for future experiments. Still, the team thinks this technology could really work in the real world. The researchers also believe this device could be improved with smart sensors and image analysis, making it more precise in detecting different types of fires. Beyond firefighting, this technology could have future applications in aerospace and industrial safety. 12. Why did engineers at Ohio State University invent the new handheld tools? A To take full advantage of water and foam. B. To enhance firefighters’ professional skills. C. To abandon traditional firefighting methods. D. To reduce the rescue damage to the environment. 13. What does the author try to illustrate by mentioning the birthday candle in paragraph 2? A. The principle of putting out a flame by air. B. The efficient way to blow out a birthday candle. C. The difference between a small flame and a campfire. D. The reason why blowing on a campfire doesn’t work. 14. Why can the new device lower the risk of injuries? A. It creates stronger wind than other tools. B. It absorbs harmful substances in the smoke. C. It enables users to stay farther from the fire. D. It allows firemen to avoid using chemicals. 15. What is the researchers’ expectation for the new device? A. It will prevent all types of fire. B. It will reform the aerospace industry. C. It will be more intelligent and accurate. D. It will be widely used by ordinary people. 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。 People say fortune favors the brave, but taking a leap is easier said than done. ___16___ ●Embrace strategic risk. One of the biggest misconceptions about risk-taking is that if something feels uncomfortable, it’s a sign to back away. But researches have taught us this: ___17___ Ask yourself, “Does this risk match my values? Is it moving me toward something I care about?” If yes, expect some embarrassment. The biggest payoffs live just past that initial awkward phase. ● ___18___ Many of us have grown too afraid of taking risks — maybe because one risk made us embarrassed. A good way to feel less scared of risks is to ask yourself: “What’s one small thing I can do to get used to not knowing what will happen?” Start with bite-size, winnable risks, like speaking up in a meeting, volunteering for a project slightly outside your wheelhouse. ●Breathe in bravery. Breathe out fear. ___19___ In other words, taking a few deep breaths helps regulate anxiety. Another easy way to stretch your risk- taking muscles is by copying someone you admire. Imagine them in your shoes and how they'd approach your challenge. How would they talk, walk or hold themselves? Even standing tall sends a signal to your brain that “you’ve got this”. ●Forgive yourself. We all have moments when we don't do the thing that will help us grow. And that’s okay! Instead of beating yourself up, forgive yourself because you’re human. ___20___ Being kind to yourself may just be the best way to step forward toward a braver version of yourself. A. Enjoy small wins. B. Our body impacts our mind. C. Overcome unexpected fears. D. No one is courageous all the time. E. Humans always have high expectations. F. Bravery and awkwardness are sisters in life. G. The following tips will help you outsmart fear. 第三部分 语言运用 (共两节,满分30分) 第一节 (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。 I lost my job in early 2025.

Still, the smallest things made me feel out of place. Luckily, the Wilsons, my host family, did everything they could to help me settle in — driving me around, sharing meals, and even letting me use their kitchen when. I. missed Chinese food. With their warmth and support, everything seemed to fall into place. But at school, small moments felt bigger than I’d imagined. In our first literature class, we discussed a Hemingway story. Everyone jumped in actively, while I struggled to speak up. My desk-mate encouraged me, “Next time, just speak up.” I nodded, forcing a bitter smile. And just like that, I found myself in another cultural trap, Mrs. Wilson’s birthday dinner. At the table, I answered politely but kept mostly to myself. Mrs. Wilson noticed my silence and gently asked, “You alright, sweet girl? You’ re so quiet tonight.” My face reddened. Was my silence seen as cold, rather than polite? That night, restless and wide awake, I wondered if I needed to laugh louder, speak faster; or hide parts of myself just to feel I belonged. Questions flooded my mind, none with answers. A few days later, our teacher announced there would be a Culture Festival next week. “You’ ll prepare a stand to share your own culture — food, crafts, customs ... anything meaningful. You can not only display your culture but also make it interactive, allowing people to try new things, learn traditional skills. or share stories and cultural symbols,” she said. The class lit up with excitement. I sat frozen, mind racing: how could I share my traditions in English? The thought made my stomach twisted (扭曲). Yet, I gathered myself with a deep breath and signed up. After that, I threw myself wholeheartedly into preparations, until the day finally came. 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。 At the Culture Festival, I stood behind my stand, nervous but ready. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ From that day on, my world here started to change. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
