By this point, however, most will have given up on that aspiration, along with their dreams of perfectly toned muscles or a completed list of DIY projects. But all is not lost as the end of the year draws closer. We have rounded up four favourite novels published recently. Among our choices are a number of slim volumes: perfect for any determinedly bookish folk who still have an end-of-year reading target to hit. Drayton and Mackenzie. By Alexander Starritt. Two very different men meet as young adults. Both seek success, first as management consultants, then as entrepreneurs (企业家) in the field of green energy. As they navigate private pain and the unrest of the global financial crash, they increasingly value their friendship. Both characters are expertly drawn in this funny, touching story. Flashlight. By Susan Choi. One night, while on holiday in Japan, ten-year-old Louisa and her father go for a walk along a beach. The next day she is found half-dead and her parent has disappeared. At home in America, Louisa and her mother attempt to make sense of the mystery that rocked their lives. A story full of twists and turns. Sympathy Tower Tokyo. By Qudan Rie. Translated by Jesse Kirkwood. The winner of Japan's prestigious Akutagawa Prize, this novel is set in an imagined future and revolves around Sara, an architect tasked with designing a skyscraper in which convicted criminals can live in comfort. A bold interrogation of crime, punishment and redemption. What We Can Know. By Ian McEwan. A celebrated poet reads his latest work, dedicated to his wife, at her birthday party. Then the poem goes missing. Later an academic search through archives is launched to track down the lost poem. His discovery yields an account of passion, murder and guilt. Ian McEwan combines a love story and a thrilling mystery to great effect. 1. Which is one of Americans’ top resolutions in 2025 according to the survey? A. Reading more volumes. B. Designing DIY items. C. Reading books as slim as possible. D. Spending less time working out. 2. What is recommended if you like reading something amusing? A. Flashlight. B. Drayton and Mackenzie. C. Sympathy Tower Tokyo. D. What We Can Know. 3. What do the last two books have in common? A. Both are award-winners. B. Both are concerned with crimes. C. Both talk about touching love stories. D. Both are set in an imaginary future world. B From the age of 13, Yang wanted to study in America. After graduating from Cornell University in 2022, she chose to do a PhD. But by then “international relations had got more intense” and America had tightened its visa rules. So she went to Singapore, where she doesn’t “need to constantly worry about paperwork”. For years, ambitious Asian students have headed straight for universities in the “big four” Anglophone countries: America, Australia, Britain and Canada. Yet lately those traditional destinations have been losing a little of their shine. They take in around 35% of the world’s international students, down from roughly 40% in 2020, by one estimate. Tighter immigration rules in the big four countries are one reason why Asian students are staying local. Another is that Asian universities are growing more celebrated, those in East Asia, in particular. Lower costs are a third big draw. The pandemic sped this process up. Many Asian students and their parents decided it would be better if they stayed closer to home. Some see the West as increasingly dangerous and unpredictable. Between 2016 and 2022 the number of Asians studying abroad in East Asia increased about 40%. Receiving places see a big opportunity. In 2023 Japan and South Korea set new targets for attracting foreign students. Japan hosted 337,000 last year, up 21% from 2023. More than 90% came from Asia. It wants 400,000 by 2033. Both of them are offering more English-language courses. They are also offering more generous scholarships and making it easier for students to work after graduating. Challenges remain. In places such as Hong Kong, Singapore and Malaysia, there is only so much room for growth. Language barriers limit the appeal of China, South Korea and Japan, particularly for students who long to take up local jobs after their studies. Public worries about immigration are rising. Chinese students are the most numerous foreigners in many Asian universities. The window to profit from them may be closing; their flow could drop sharply as China’s youth population declines. 4. Why did Yang choose to study for a PhD in Singapore? A. She wanted to avoid frequent visa paperwork troubles. B. She had graduated from a university in Singapore. C. Singapore offered her a full scholarship for her PhD. D. Singapore had more stable international relations. 5. Why are the “big four” countries losing their appeal? A. Their universities are becoming less famous. B. They have reduced the number of scholarships. C. Their immigration policies have become stricter. D. They no longer offer English-language courses. 6. Which measure are Japan and South Korea taking to attract foreign students? A. Offering more courses taught in English. B. Lowering tuition fees significantly. C. Lowering their academic standards for admission. D. Only accepting foreign students from Asian countries. 7. What challenge do China, South Korea, and Japan face in attracting foreign students? A. Lack of international recognition. B. Limited growth space. C. Language barriers. D. High living costs. C A dried-out plain in the north of Sacramento, California was in perfect condition to fuel wildfires. It was 2014, and California was experiencing its worst drought in decades. The plain was full of dry brush. Fire prevention workers and ecologists in the state were desperately working to reduce potential wildfire fuel sources anywhere they could. Ecologists, facing a dangerously dry plain and a price tag of at least one million dollars for a major construction project to fix the site, did something surprising. They called in the beavers (河狸). Thanks to the introduction of the animals, the site was, restored to a lively plain, with trees popping up and streams flowing across the land. Damon Ciotii, a biologist who led the project, said he was amazed by the results of the project. He had estimated that the beavers would take about a decade to return the dried-out land to streams in the region, but the animals blew away his expectations. By year three, water was back. Ultimately, the project only cost $58,000, which was used to prepare the land for the beavers to come in and do what they do. Beavers have essentially evolved to be the engineers of nature, transforming their landscape to suit their needs and to protect them from predators. They are quick in the water and can build dams (水堤) to make ponds and wetlands where they can better survive. The population of beavers in North America was once driven down due to heavy hunting. However, after the desire for beaver hats and coats reduced, the population began to recover. The success of the project has led to a number of other projects using beavers for land restoration through California. Government programs were beginning to take notice and offer training to local people on how to use beavers for wildfire prevention. 8. Why was Ciotii surprised by the project? A. It cost significantly less money. B. It used animals to solve the issue. C. It took effect quicker than expected. D. It changed the land into a lively plain. 9. How did the beavers reduce the wildfire fuel sources? A. They ate the dry bush. B. They protected dams. C. They created water bodies. D. They helped the trees grow better. 10. What do we know about beavers in North America? A. They are trained to stop wildfire. B. They were threatened by humans. C. They got protected for their roles in ecology. D. They are the main solution to the wildfire problem. 11. What is the purpose of this text? A. To present a study on beavers behavior. B. To illustrate the cause and effect of wildfire. C. To introduce the benefits of working with animals. D. To inform the use of beavers in wildfire prevention. D 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. 12. What does the underlined phrase “parrot back” mean in paragraph 2? A. Repeat mechanically. B. Appreciate deeply. C. Apply creatively. D. Forget quickly. 13. 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. 14. 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. 15. 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 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。 We all know that eating too much sugar isn’t good for us, as its consumption is linked to health dangers like obesity, heart disease, and cancer. Reducing sugar intake not only helps you avoid the harm of overconsumption. ____16____ The first thing to understand is that not all sugar is bad for you because there’s a big difference between natural sugars and added sugars. ____17____ They provide energy and sweetness, urging us to eat food rich in vitamins, minerals and nutrients that offset the sugar. For instance, a medium mango has over 20g of natural sugar but plenty of fiber for absorption. ____18____ Added during processing, cooking or at the table, they’re listed as “added sugars” on labels, with over 200 names like “honey” or “corn syrup”. What’s worse, added sugars offer no meaningful nutrients — they’re “empty calories”. ____19____ Too much intake raises risks of immune system disorders, high blood pressure and over a dozen cancers. A 2023 study links 35% more added sugar to 65% higher risk of heart disease and a 10% higher risk of stroke. They also feed harmful gut bacteria, causing inflammation and mental health issues. Cutting added sugars boosts quality of life. It lowers depression risk, enhances focus before tests, reduces acne for better skin, and calms the brain for better sleep. ____20____ You benefit from permanent reduction, but even temporary cuts work — 8 weeks of a low-sugar diet improves teens’ liver health, and type 2 diabetes also drops rapidly. A. Many struggle to cut sugar due to strong desires. B. Added sugars, however, are a wholly different story. C. Importantly, the benefits can appear in a very short time. D. Processed foods often hide huge amounts of added sugars. E. Moreover, it brings surprising benefits you will enjoy soon. F. Their true danger lies in the harm they do to bodily systems. G. Natural sugars in bread, fruit and milk are naturally existing. 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。 Teeth as time capsules Teeth, in their seemingly ordinary role, hold within them a silent history.

Her work, though often about ____29____ pain, also bore the weight of history. Every tooth she extracted and every cavity (龋洞) she filled, was ____30____ to the struggles, grief and survival of a generation marked by war.

I now understand how my grandmother’s dental work goes beyond its medical purpose-it is a(n) ____32____ of remembering and preserving the past in ways we often forget. In a ____33____, teeth carry the imprint (印记) of time. They’re silent witnesses to our history, ____34____ in plain sight, reminding us of how we’ve survived, how we’ve grown, and how we continue to carry the ____35____ of our pasts. 21.

But as he grew older, the voices around him, “Questions don’t help you earn a living”, slowly silenced his wonder. The only shadow heavier than his unspoken curiosity was the distance between him and his younger brother Thomas Years ago, in a moment of anger, Elliot had broken their grandfather’s treasured wooden compass — a family gift given to Thomas on his sixteenth birthday. The compass was carved with moon shapes, and their grandfather had told them, “True direction is found where hearts meet.” But after their fight, Thomas had left, and the brothers had not spoken since. For over ten years, he worked as a library worker, sweeping floors among silent books, his own spirit gathering dust like the shelves he cared for. One rainy Wednesday, Elliot found a well-worn wool scarf folded neatly in the corner while cleaning shelves. It belonged to Mrs. Davies, a retired teacher who visited weekly. When she hurried back, eyes wet, she said softly, “This was my late husband’s last gift. We’d fought, and he gave it to apologize before he passed away. Don’t wait till it’s too late to make amends (弥补), dear.” Elliot watched her hold the scarf tight. For the first time, he thought of the compass at home, and wondered if he could fix his bond with Thomas. Then, behind an old heater, he found it, a wooden compass, its back damaged but still glowing slightly. The letters T. E. were carved into the wood. Memories rushed back-his grandfather’s words, Thomas’ s hurt face, the weight of regret he had carried all these years. Rain hit the window. Elliot held the compass tight. That moment, he decided to find Thomas-he had to fix their bond before it was too late. 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。 Elliot stood before Thomas’ house, the compass heavy in his pocket. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ One day after that, Elliot met Mrs. Davies in the library. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 南航苏州附中2025-2026学年第一学期高三12月阶段性练习 英语 注意事项： 1. 本试卷满分150分。考试时间120分钟。 2. 答题前，务必将自己的学校、姓名、考试号等相关信息写在答题卡上规定的地方。 3. 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。 第一部分听力 (共两节，满分30分) 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 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。 例：How much is the shirt?

After graduating from Cornell University in 2022, she chose to do a PhD. But by then “international relations had got more intense” and America had tightened its visa rules. So she went to Singapore, where she doesn’t “need to constantly worry about paperwork”. For years, ambitious Asian students have headed straight for universities in the “big four” Anglophone countries: America, Australia, Britain and Canada. Yet lately those traditional destinations have been losing a little of their shine. They take in around 35% of the world’s international students, down from roughly 40% in 2020, by one estimate. Tighter immigration rules in the big four countries are one reason why Asian students are staying local. Another is that Asian universities are growing more celebrated, those in East Asia, in particular. Lower costs are a third big draw. The pandemic sped this process up. Many Asian students and their parents decided it would be better if they stayed closer to home. Some see the West as increasingly dangerous and unpredictable. Between 2016 and 2022 the number of Asians studying abroad in East Asia increased about 40%. Receiving places see a big opportunity. In 2023 Japan and South Korea set new targets for attracting foreign students. Japan hosted 337,000 last year, up 21% from 2023. More than 90% came from Asia. It wants 400,000 by 2033. Both of them are offering more English-language courses. They are also offering more generous scholarships and making it easier for students to work after graduating. Challenges remain. In places such as Hong Kong, Singapore and Malaysia, there is only so much room for growth. Language barriers limit the appeal of China, South Korea and Japan, particularly for students who long to take up local jobs after their studies. Public worries about immigration are rising. Chinese students are the most numerous foreigners in many Asian universities. The window to profit from them may be closing; their flow could drop sharply as China’s youth population declines. 4. Why did Yang choose to study for a PhD in Singapore? A. She wanted to avoid frequent visa paperwork troubles. B. She had graduated from a university in Singapore. C. Singapore offered her a full scholarship for her PhD. D. Singapore had more stable international relations. 5. Why are the “big four” countries losing their appeal? A. Their universities are becoming less famous. B. They have reduced the number of scholarships. C. Their immigration policies have become stricter. D. They no longer offer English-language courses. 6. Which measure are Japan and South Korea taking to attract foreign students? A. Offering more courses taught in English. B. Lowering tuition fees significantly. C. Lowering their academic standards for admission. D. Only accepting foreign students from Asian countries. 7. What challenge do China, South Korea, and Japan face in attracting foreign students? A. Lack of international recognition. B. Limited growth space. C. Language barriers. D. High living costs. 【答案】4. A 5. C 6. A 7. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章讨论了亚洲学生留学趋势的变化，指出传统留学大国吸引力下降，而亚洲国家如新加坡、日本和韩国等正积极吸引国际学生，同时这些亚洲国家也面临着一些挑战。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“So she went to Singapore, where she doesn’t “need to constantly worry about paperwork”.(所以她去了新加坡，在那里她不需要“不断担心文件问题”)”可知，杨选择在新加坡攻读博士学位是因为她想避免频繁的签证文件麻烦。故选A。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Tighter immigration rules in the big four countries are one reason why Asian students are staying local.(四大国家更严格的移民规则是亚洲学生选择留在本地的原因之一)”可知，“四大”国家正在失去吸引力是因为他们的移民政策变得更加严格。故选C。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Both of them are offering more English-language courses.(两国都提供更多的英语课程)”可知，日本和韩国正在采取提供更多英语授课的课程的措施来吸引外国学生。故选A。 【7题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Language barriers limit the appeal of China, South Korea and Japan, particularly for students who long to take up local jobs after their studies.(语言障碍限制了中国、韩国和日本的吸引力，特别是对于那些渴望在毕业后从事当地工作的学生来说)”可知，中国、韩国和日本在吸引外国学生方面面临的挑战是语言障碍。故选C。 C A dried-out plain in the north of Sacramento, California was in perfect condition to fuel wildfires. It was 2014, and California was experiencing its worst drought in decades. The plain was full of dry brush. Fire prevention workers and ecologists in the state were desperately working to reduce potential wildfire fuel sources anywhere they could. Ecologists, facing a dangerously dry plain and a price tag of at least one million dollars for a major construction project to fix the site, did something surprising. They called in the beavers (河狸). Thanks to the introduction of the animals, the site was, restored to a lively plain, with trees popping up and streams flowing across the land. Damon Ciotii, a biologist who led the project, said he was amazed by the results of the project. He had estimated that the beavers would take about a decade to return the dried-out land to streams in the region, but the animals blew away his expectations. By year three, water was back. Ultimately, the project only cost $58,000, which was used to prepare the land for the beavers to come in and do what they do. Beavers have essentially evolved to be the engineers of nature, transforming their landscape to suit their needs and to protect them from predators. They are quick in the water and can build dams (水堤) to make ponds and wetlands where they can better survive. The population of beavers in North America was once driven down due to heavy hunting. However, after the desire for beaver hats and coats reduced, the population began to recover. The success of the project has led to a number of other projects using beavers for land restoration through California. Government programs were beginning to take notice and offer training to local people on how to use beavers for wildfire prevention. 8. Why was Ciotii surprised by the project? A. It cost significantly less money. B. It used animals to solve the issue. C. It took effect quicker than expected. D. It changed the land into a lively plain. 9. How did the beavers reduce the wildfire fuel sources? A. They ate the dry bush. B. They protected dams. C. They created water bodies. D. They helped the trees grow better. 10. What do we know about beavers in North America? A. They are trained to stop wildfire. B. They were threatened by humans. C. They got protected for their roles in ecology. D. They are the main solution to the wildfire problem. 11. What is the purpose of this text? A. To present a study on beavers behavior. B. To illustrate the cause and effect of wildfire. C. To introduce the benefits of working with animals. D. To inform the use of beavers in wildfire prevention. 【答案】8. C 9. C 10. B 11.

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. 12. What does the underlined phrase “parrot back” mean in paragraph 2? A. Repeat mechanically. B. Appreciate deeply. C. Apply creatively. D. Forget quickly. 13. 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. 14. 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. 15. 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】12. A 13. C 14. B 15. 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。 【12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。 【13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。 【14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。 【15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。 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。 We all know that eating too much sugar isn’t good for us, as its consumption is linked to health dangers like obesity, heart disease, and cancer. Reducing sugar intake not only helps you avoid the harm of overconsumption. ____16____ The first thing to understand is that not all sugar is bad for you because there’s a big difference between natural sugars and added sugars. ____17____ They provide energy and sweetness, urging us to eat food rich in vitamins, minerals and nutrients that offset the sugar. For instance, a medium mango has over 20g of natural sugar but plenty of fiber for absorption. ____18____ Added during processing, cooking or at the table, they’re listed as “added sugars” on labels, with over 200 names like “honey” or “corn syrup”. What’s worse, added sugars offer no meaningful nutrients — they’re “empty calories”. ____19____ Too much intake raises risks of immune system disorders, high blood pressure and over a dozen cancers. A 2023 study links 35% more added sugar to 65% higher risk of heart disease and a 10% higher risk of stroke. They also feed harmful gut bacteria, causing inflammation and mental health issues. Cutting added sugars boosts quality of life. It lowers depression risk, enhances focus before tests, reduces acne for better skin, and calms the brain for better sleep. ____20____ You benefit from permanent reduction, but even temporary cuts work — 8 weeks of a low-sugar diet improves teens’ liver health, and type 2 diabetes also drops rapidly. A. Many struggle to cut sugar due to strong desires. B. Added sugars, however, are a wholly different story. C. Importantly, the benefits can appear in a very short time. D. Processed foods often hide huge amounts of added sugars. E. Moreover, it brings surprising benefits you will enjoy soon. F. Their true danger lies in the harm they do to bodily systems. G.

But as he grew older, the voices around him, “Questions don’t help you earn a living”, slowly silenced his wonder. The only shadow heavier than his unspoken curiosity was the distance between him and his younger brother Thomas Years ago, in a moment of anger, Elliot had broken their grandfather’s treasured wooden compass — a family gift given to Thomas on his sixteenth birthday. The compass was carved with moon shapes, and their grandfather had told them, “True direction is found where hearts meet.” But after their fight, Thomas had left, and the brothers had not spoken since. For over ten years, he worked as a library worker, sweeping floors among silent books, his own spirit gathering dust like the shelves he cared for. One rainy Wednesday, Elliot found a well-worn wool scarf folded neatly in the corner while cleaning shelves. It belonged to Mrs. Davies, a retired teacher who visited weekly. When she hurried back, eyes wet, she said softly, “This was my late husband’s last gift. We’d fought, and he gave it to apologize before he passed away. Don’t wait till it’s too late to make amends (弥补), dear.” Elliot watched her hold the scarf tight. For the first time, he thought of the compass at home, and wondered if he could fix his bond with Thomas. Then, behind an old heater, he found it, a wooden compass, its back damaged but still glowing slightly. The letters T. E. were carved into the wood. Memories rushed back-his grandfather’s words, Thomas’ s hurt face, the weight of regret he had carried all these years. Rain hit the window. Elliot held the compass tight. That moment, he decided to find Thomas-he had to fix their bond before it was too late. 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。 Elliot stood before Thomas’ house, the compass heavy in his pocket. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ One day after that, Elliot met Mrs. Davies in the library. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Elliot stood before Thomas’ house, the compass heavy in his pocket. His heart pounded as he raised his hand to knock. He thought of all the years that had passed and the words that had gone unsaid. He wondered if Thomas would even open the door, let alone forgive him. As the door slowly opened, Thomas’s surprised face appeared. Elliot took a deep breath and said, “I’ve come to apologize for breaking the compass and for all the lost years. I want us to be brothers again.” One day after that, Elliot met Mrs. Davies in the library. She smiled warmly when she saw him and asked how things were with his brother. Elliot told her that they had talked for hours and that they were starting to rebuild their relationship. He said that he had learned a valuable lesson from her, which was that it’s never too late to make amends. Mrs. Davies nodded and said, “I’m glad to hear that, Elliot. Remember, true direction is found where hearts meet, just as your grandfather said.” 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开。爱发问的Elliot在成长中被外界声音磨灭了好奇心，更因一次争执摔坏弟弟Thomas的生日礼物 —— 祖父赠予的木制指南针，导致兄弟二人十年失联。后来Elliot做图书管理员时，拾到退休教师Davies夫人的围巾，听闻其与丈夫的往事深受触动，回家找到那枚破损的指南针，回忆涌上心头，最终决定找回弟弟，弥补这份亲情。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段句首内容“Elliot站在Thomas的房前，口袋里的指南针沉甸甸的。”可知，第一段可以描写Elliot站在弟弟门前的紧张心理、对过往的愧疚与忐忑，接着写敲门后Thomas的反应，以及Elliot鼓起勇气道歉、表达想修复兄弟情的心愿。 ②由第二段句首内容“自那之后的一天，Elliot在图书馆偶遇了Davies夫人。”可知，第二段可以描写Elliot向Davies夫人告知兄弟和解的消息，分享自己的感悟，再通过Davies夫人引用祖父的话，点明“心之相聚方得方向”的主旨，升华文章情感。 2.续写线索：Elliot登门道歉 —— 忐忑等待开门 —— 向Thomas忏悔求和 —— 兄弟初步和解 ——Elliot向戴维斯夫人报喜 —— 点明“心之相聚方得方向”的主旨 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①敲：knock/tap ②深呼吸：take a deep breath/inhale deeply/breathe deeply ③道歉：apologize/make an apology 情绪类： ①惊讶的：surprised/astonished ②高兴的：glad/delighted 【点睛】【高分句型1】He wondered if Thomas would even open the door, let alone forgive him.(运用了if引导的宾语从句) 【高分句型2】As the door slowly opened, Thomas’s surprised face appeared.(运用了As引导的时间状语从句) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
