M: Combine your habits? W: Yeah. It’s a method in habit formation that involves linking a new habit with an existing one that you perform regularly. We’ve all done it in school, work, and personal life. My brother instructed me on how to use this skill effectively. M: Wow. I’ve naturally done this since I was young. I bet it works because of the reward system of your mind. You release feel-good chemicals after finishing daily tasks, so it’s easier to build new habits. W: True! If you want to start a breathing practice, do it right after brushing your teeth. M: How about keeping a journal? I’d love to start doing that after the evening cooking routine I’ve already established. W: That’s perfect! Start small and keep going. 听下面一段对话，回答以下小题。【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 14.

It was one of the pioneer examples of the Impressionist style. M: I’m so glad we came to this Impressionist art exhibit. Standing here, I’m reminded why I fell in love with art in the first place. My art teacher always said Impressionist painters were masters of color and atmosphere. W: I’ve shown this masterpiece to so many friends. But I wouldn’t have known it without my mom. She studied so much about art history. M: That’s wonderful. What do you think of the brushwork here? W: It’s quite different from earlier periods. Some people relate this work to literary stories or even photos. M: Interesting comparison. However, it lacks the realistic quality of statues or photos. I’d much quicker relate it to artwork created for novels. Also, have you seen the modern art exhibit downstairs? W: Not yet. I prefer this classic gallery. M: I agree. Though, I’ve had almost no exposure to works that are created nowadays. Some people love it, and others find it boring. But I’d love to decide for myself! 听下面一段独白，回答以下小题。【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 18.

Therefore, the organisers have done well to ensure there are changing rooms and showers available for all runners. racebest. com ● Winter Solstice Strider 8 December Dig that head flashlight out of the messy drawer for this after-dark run or walk for a good cause. You have a 5K route, which winds through the forest at the St Ives Estate. The route is far from flat and will almost certainly be muddy in places, so make sure your batteries are well charged in case there are emergencies. sueryder. org ● The Christmas Charity Run, 21 December This event is run by a most environmentally conscious organiser in the country, and is therefore only open to local runners to reduce car travel. Another great feature is that £7. 50 of the £10 entry fee goes straight to a local charity that supports people with cancer, making this one of the most positive-impact events that you could possibly find. eventrac. co. uk ● Mapledurham 10& Half, 29 December Mapledurham events are always well organised and, with unpleasant weather likely, you'll have to deal with some mud on the various uphills and downhills on whichever of the 10K, 10-mile or half-marathon courses you choose. The organisers have prioritised finding a good route over precise measurements, so all three races have a rather loose relationship with their stated distance. mstevents. co. uk 21. Which website offers information for night run participants? A. sueryder. org B. racebest. com C. eventrac. co. uk D. mstevents. co. uk 22. What makes the Mapledurham events unique? A. Eco-friendly goals. B. Flexible race distances. C. Strong charity focus. D. Muddy running courses. 23. Which column of a magazine is the text probably from? A. Tech Trends. B. Athlete Profiles. C. News Insight. D. Race Guide. 【答案】21. A 22. B 23. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了英国冬季即将举办的四场跑步赛事，包括赛事日期、特色、注意事项及官方网站，为跑步爱好者提供赛事参考。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Winter Solstice Strider, 8 December”部分中的“Dig that head flashlight out of the messy drawer for this after-dark run or walk for a good cause.(从乱糟糟的抽屉里找出头灯，参加这场夜间跑步或步行公益活动。)”可知，这场赛事是夜间举办的，其官方网站为sueryder. org。故选A。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Mapledurham 10& Half, 29 December”部分中的“The organisers have prioritised finding a good route over precise measurements, so all three races have a rather loose relationship with their stated distance.(组织者优先考虑找到一条好的路线，而不是精确测量，所以这三场比赛与它们所声明的距离之间的关系相当松散。)”可知，Mapledurham赛事的独特之处在于其灵活的比赛距离。故选B。 【23题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“The upcoming winter season offers a selection of the finest, quickest, toughest and most delightful running events across the UK for those seeking adventure or community spirit.(即将到来的冬季为那些寻求冒险或团队精神的人提供了英国各地最精彩、最快、最艰难、最令人愉快的跑步赛事。)”以及下文对四个跑步赛事的介绍可知，本文主要介绍了英国即将到来的冬季跑步赛事，包括赛事名称、日期、特点以及相关信息查询网址，因此这篇文章可能来自杂志的“赛事指南”专栏。故选D。 B In 2015, our readers first met Shailee Basnet, the 34-year-old former Nepali journalist. Shortly after she and six of her countrywomen successfully reached the summit of the tallest mountain on each of the seven continents, On the night of Sept, 8, two years later, Basnet was preparing to entertain a packed house at New York’s Broadway Comedy Club. What Basnet learned from climbing mountains, besides the fact that she is stronger and braver than she knew, is that failure is temporary and anything is achievable if you focus on one step at a time. This works for her in comedy. “You don’t need to find the courage to do everything at once. You only need to find the courage to write your first joke, tell a friend, and then find a platform where people will hear you,” Basnet says. Long before Basnet began dreaming of climbing mountains, she imagined something even more audacious, considering her hometown, Nepal’s capital city, had virtually no comedy scene. A fan of American comedians, Basnet dreamed of becoming a stand-up comic. Along the way, she held on to her comedy dreams. Basnet took her first steps onstage at a show in Kathmandu in 2011 and then began organizing open-mic nights around the city to have a place to showcase her new material. On trips with her husband to visit his family in Boulder, Colorado, Basnet attended stand-up shows and began dreaming of taking the stage in English. “At first, I worried that my jokes wouldn’t translate because people kept saying comedy is very local, very cultural,” Basnet says. “Then I noticed that I could understand 100 percent of what Ellen DeGeneres, Jerry Seinfeld, Russell Peters, all the big comics, were saying. If I can understand them, then I can work to get to the point where they understand me. Beneath the surface, we are all the same. Human emotions and issues — it all becomes very translatable if you go deeper.” How she arrived at this moment, however, still feels a bit like magic. Determined to one day turn her 10-minute set into a two-hour show, Basnet puts as much thought into each performance as she once did into her climbs. 24. What lesson from climbing mountains benefits Basnet’s stage career? A. Confidence and teamwork. B. Intensive physical training. C. Adaptation to environments. D. Determination and steady progress. 25. What does the underlined word “audacious” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Daring. B. Eventful. C. Relaxing. D. Unfamiliar. 26. What does paragraph 5 mainly focus on concerning Basnet? A. Her hard efforts to realize goals. B. Her awareness of true passion. C. Her difficult road to success. D Her popularity on the stage. 27. How did Basnet approach the challenge of performing comedy in English? A. She told her jokes to her husband’s family first. B. She studied American culture closely. C. She focused on universally understandable humor. D. She copied American big comics’ skills. 【答案】24. D 25. A 26. A 27. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文，文章介绍了尼泊尔喜剧演员Shailee Basnet。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“What Basnet learned from climbing mountains, besides the fact that she is stronger and braver than she knew, is that failure is temporary and anything is achievable if you focus on one step at a time.(Basnet从登山中所学到的东西，除了她比自己之前所认为的更强大、更勇敢之外，还有就是失败是暂时的，只要专注于一步一个脚印地前进，任何事情都是可以实现的)”和第三段中“This works for her in comedy.(这在她的喜剧事业中也同样适用)”可知，Basnet从登山中学到的坚持和稳定进步对她的舞台事业有好处，故选D。 【25题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词后“considering her hometown, Nepal’s capital city, had virtually no comedy scene. A fan of American comedians, Basnet dreamed of becoming a stand-up comic.(因为她家乡——尼泊尔的首都——几乎没有喜剧氛围。作为美国喜剧演员的粉丝，Nepal梦想成为一名脱口秀喜剧演员)”可知，Basnet的家乡几乎没有喜剧氛围，而她梦想成为一名脱口秀喜剧演员，因此这是一个“大胆的”梦想，audacious意为“大胆的”，故选A。 【26题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第五段“Along the way, she held on to her comedy dreams. Basnet took her first steps onstage at a show in Kathmandu in 2011 and then began organizing open-mic nights around the city to have a place to showcase her new material. On trips with her husband to visit his family in Boulder, Colorado, Basnet attended stand-up shows and began dreaming of taking the stage in English.(在这一过程中，她始终坚守着自己的喜剧梦想。2011 年，Basnet在加德满都的一场演出中首次登上舞台，随后她开始在城市各处组织即兴表演活动，以便为展示自己的新作品提供一个平台。在与丈夫前往科罗拉多州博尔德市探望他家人时，Basnet观看了脱口秀表演，并开始梦想着能用英语登上舞台)”可知，本段主要是关于Basnet为实现梦想付出的努力，故选A。 【27题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“If I can understand them, then I can work to get to the point where they understand me. Beneath the surface, we are all the same. Human emotions and issues — it all becomes very translatable if you go deeper.(如果我能理解他们，那么我就能努力达到他们能理解我的程度。在表面之下，我们都是相同的。人类的情感和问题——如果深入探究，就会变得非常具有可翻译性)”可知，Basnet通过专注于能被普遍理解的幽默来应对用英语表演喜剧的挑战，故选C。 C Human language seems so much more complicated and organized than anything experienced by animals. Nevertheless, animals do indeed communicate complex ideas using precise, intentional language. Vervet monkeys (黑长尾猴), like many other species of primates (灵长目动物), give alarm calls when predators (捕食性动物) approach. These calls act as warnings to others in their group that a predator is about. The interesting part is that there are different calls for different predators. To demonstrate that these vervet calls mean what they thought they meant, primate researchers Robert Seyfarth and Dorothy Cheney performed experiments. They placed loudspeakers in the forest and waited for vervets to approach and then played the various warning calls that they had recorded. Sure enough, playing the eagle call made the vervets look up, playing the leopard call made them climb the nearest tree and head for a thin branch. Another interesting thing about vervets is that they can tell their own children by their cries. In the jungle, when a baby vervet cries, its mother looks in the direction of the scream. Meanwhile all of the other vervets also stop and look, but not toward the baby, toward the mother. Even other mothers that don’t have their babies nearby are not mistaken about which baby is crying. Also, it turns out that vervets have vocabulary for more than just predators and dangers. They also have vocabulary for social relationships such as “higher-ranking member,” “lower-ranking member,” and “competing group of vervets.” To date, we have not interpreted any other primate vocabulary as thoroughly as we have the vervets. It’s only because no one has yet done with any other species what Seyfarth and Cheney have done with vervets. However, you can be sure that, inspired by this success, primatologists are now doing exactly that with many other species. It won’t be long before we have a more complete vocabulary for many more of our primate cousins. 28. How did the researchers distinguish the vervets’ alarm calls? A. By marking their locations. B. By mixing up their predators. C. By observing their escape strategies. D. By comparing them with other species of primates. 29. What might happen if a baby vervet screams in the wild? A. Its mother would run to take care of it. B. Many female vervets would look at it. C. Vervet mothers would look around for their babies. D. Warning calls would be spread among vervet mothers. 30. What is expected of primate studies? A. More humans’ cousins will be identified. B. More cross-species competition will be shown. C. More will be known about their social structures. D. More species’ means of communication will be revealed. 31. What is the best title for the text? A. Humans and primates can communicate. B. Other primates use speech and vocabulary. C. Female primates identify each other’s babies. D. Primates use sounds to signal and react to danger. 【答案】28. C 29. D 30. D 31. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了黑长尾猴等灵长类动物使用语言和词汇进行复杂交流的情况。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“To demonstrate that these vervet calls mean what they thought they meant, primate researchers Robert Seyfarth and Dorothy Cheney performed experiments. They placed loudspeakers in the forest and waited for vervets to approach and then played the various warning calls that they had recorded. Sure enough, playing the eagle call made the vervets look up, playing the leopard call made them climb the nearest tree and head for a thin branch.(为了证明这些黑长尾猴的叫声就是他们所认为的意思，灵长类动物研究人员罗伯特·塞法思和多萝西·切尼进行了实验。他们在森林里放置了扬声器，等待黑长尾猴靠近，然后播放他们录下的各种警告叫声。果然，播放老鹰的叫声让黑长尾猴抬头看，播放豹子的叫声让它们爬上最近的树，朝着一根细树枝走去)”可知，研究人员通过观察黑长尾猴的逃跑策略来区分它们的警报声。故选C。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“In the jungle, when a baby vervet cries, its mother looks in the direction of the scream. Meanwhile all of the other vervets also stop and look, but not toward the baby, toward the mother. Even other mothers that don’t have their babies nearby are not mistaken about which baby is crying.(在丛林中，当一只小黑长尾猴啼哭时，它的母亲会朝着啼哭声传来的方向望去。与此同时，其他所有的黑长尾猴也会停下来张望，但它们看向的不是猴宝宝，而是猴宝宝的母亲。就连那些身边没有幼崽的母猴，也不会弄错是哪只猴宝宝在哭)”可知，当小黑长尾猴啼哭时，其他母猴会清楚辨认出对应的猴妈妈并看向她，与选项D表述相符。故选D。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“However, you can be sure that, inspired by this success, primatologists are now doing exactly that with many other species. It won’t be long before we have a more complete vocabulary for many more of our primate cousins.(然而，你可以确信，受这一成功的启发，灵长类动物学家现在正在对许多其他物种进行同样的研究。不久之后，我们将为更多灵长类近亲拥有更完整的词汇)”可知，灵长类动物研究有望揭示更多物种的交流方式。故选D。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是由文章第一段“Nevertheless, animals do indeed communicate complex ideas using precise, intentional language.(尽管如此，动物确实使用精确、有意的语言来交流复杂的思想)”以及最后一段“To date, we have not interpreted any other primate vocabulary as thoroughly as we have the vervets.(到目前为止，我们还没有像解读黑长尾猴的词汇那样彻底地解读过其他任何灵长类动物的词汇)”可知，第一段提出“动物确实能够借助精准且具有目的性的‘语言’传递复杂信息” 的观点，后文以黑长尾猴为例，介绍其针对捕食者的警报叫声、识别幼崽的叫声以及表达社会关系的“词汇”，全文核心是说明灵长类动物也有自己的“语言”和“词汇”。因此，选项B“Other primates use speech and vocabulary.(其他灵长类动物也会使用“语言”和“词汇”)”是本文的最佳标题。故选B。 D If you’ve ever let unworn clothes fill your room just because they were expensive, or followed through on plans you hated because you’d already bought tickets, you’re familiar with the sunk cost effect. “The sunk cost effect is the general tendency for people to continue an action, or continue consuming or pursuing an option, if they’ve invested time or money or some resource in it,” says Christopher Olivola, the author of a paper on the topic published in the journal Psychological Science. “That effect is negative if it’s pushing you to do things that are making you unhappy or worse off.” Sticking with the plan, even when it no longer serves you, could be an attempt to correct cognitive dissonance (认知失调): the mental disconnect between paying for something and not getting the expected return on investment. It could also be an automatic reaction to regret. Or, Olivola says, it could be an attempt to convince others, and ourselves, that we’re not wasteful. You still feel the guilt of “wasting” money even when it’s not your own. In one experiment, Olivola asked participants to imagine that they felt full after eating a few bites of rich cake at a party. Participants were asked to imagine that they had bought the cake themselves, or that someone else had purchased it. They were then asked whether they’d finish the cake, despite feeling full. Regardless of who had bought the cake — friends, strangers or the participants themselves — people were far more likely to say they’d keep eating the expensive cake. Olivola says it’s not totally clear why we feel so pressured to honor others’ investments about as much as we honor our own, but people should try to overcome both versions of the sunk cost effect. “What’s done is done,” Olivola says. “There’s nothing you can do to regain money that’s lost — and pursuing something that makes you unhappy not only isn’t going to get your money back, but it’s also going to make you worse off. You’re just digging a deeper hole.” 32. What strategy does the author use to define the sunk cost effect? A. Explaining research findings. B. Comparing opposing opinions. C. Listing examples and quoting expert words. D. Presenting problems and introducing solutions. 33. Which is a reason people get caught in the sunk cost trap? A. To explore alternative options. B. To avoid making similar mistakes again. C. To make the most of the time and money spent. D. To overcome the conflict caused by past failed investments. 34. What does the cake experiment illustrate? A. We seem terrified of losing our possessions. B. We are guilty of pursuing material pleasures. C. We feel responsible for others’ wasted money. D. We ignore our inner thoughts to accommodate others. 35. What can we infer about the key to overcoming the sunk cost effect? A. List all sunk costs before our actions. B. Focus on the future benefits of giving up. C. Follow our heart when making decisions. D. Value mental health instead of physical gains. 【答案】32. C 33. D 34. C 35. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文，文章介绍了“沉没成本效应”并分析了原因。 【32题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“If you’ve ever let unworn clothes fill your room just because they were expensive, or followed through on plans you hated because you’d already bought tickets, you’re familiar with the sunk cost effect.(如果你曾经因为衣服价格昂贵而让未穿过的衣服一直堆放在房间里，或者因为已经买了票所以坚持去一个自己讨厌的活动，那你一定熟悉“沉没成本效应”)”和第二段中“The sunk cost effect is the general tendency for people to continue an action, or continue consuming or pursuing an option, if they’ve invested time or money or some resource in it,” says Christopher Olivola, the author of a paper on the topic published in the journal Psychological Science.(“沉没成本效应指的是，当人们在某项行动上投入了时间、金钱或某种资源后，往往会继续进行下去，或者继续消费或追求某个选项，”该研究的作者Christopher Olivola在《心理科学》杂志上发表的关于这一主题的论文中这样说道)”可知，作者先是列举衣服和门票的例子，然后通过引用专家的话来定义“沉没成本效应”，故选C。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Sticking with the plan, even when it no longer serves you, could be an attempt to correct cognitive dissonance (认知失调): the mental disconnect between paying for something and not getting the expected return on investment.(继续坚持一个不再对你有利的计划，可能是为了纠正认知失调（即在花钱和没有获得预期投资回报之间产生的心理脱节）)”可知，人们可能会为了克服由过去失败的投资所引发的冲突被困于“沉没成本”的怪圈中，故选D。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“You still feel the guilt of “wasting” money even when it’s not your own. In one experiment, Olivola asked participants to imagine that they felt full after eating a few bites of rich cake at a party. Participants were asked to imagine that they had bought the cake themselves, or that someone else had purchased it. They were then asked whether they’d finish the cake, despite feeling full. Regardless of who had bought the cake — friends, strangers or the participants themselves — people were far more likely to say they’d keep eating the expensive cake.(即便不是自己的钱，你也会因为“浪费”钱而感到内疚。在一项实验中，Olivola让参与者想象他们在参加聚会时吃了几口美味的蛋糕后就已经吃饱了。参与者被要求想象自己是购买了这块蛋糕，或者是由他人购买的。然后他们被问到，即便已经感到饱了，是否还会继续吃掉这块蛋糕。无论这块蛋糕是朋友购买的、陌生人购买的还是参与者自己购买的——人们都更倾向于表示会继续吃掉这块昂贵的蛋糕)”可知，首句指出“即使不是自己的钱，人们也会因为浪费而感到内疚”，接着用蛋糕的实验证实上述观点，即我们会为别人浪费掉的钱感到内疚，故选C。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段““What’s done is done,” Olivola says. “There’s nothing you can do to regain money that’s lost — and pursuing something that makes you unhappy not only isn’t going to get your money back, but it’s also going to make you worse off. You’re just digging a deeper hole.”(“已经发生的事情就无法挽回了，”Olivola说，“你无法收回已经损失的钱——追求让你不开心的事情不仅无法让你的钱物两全，还会让你的情况变得更糟。你只是在越陷越深的泥潭里越陷越深。”)”可知，已经发生的事情是无法挽回的，继续做不开心的事情只会让情况变得更糟糕，由此推知克服“沉没成本效应”的关键是关注放弃所带来的未来收益，故选B。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，在短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多于选项。 Brain rot is a state of mental fogginess and cognitive (感知的) decline that results from excessive screen engagement. Is brain rot real? ____36____ When you spend hours surfing and scrolling, you consume huge quantities of meaningless data, negative news and perfectly retouched photos, which make you feel inadequate, create mental exhaustion and lead to a drop in motivation, focus, and energy. On the surface, spending a lot of time on your smartphone or in front of a computer may seem harmless. ____37____ Activities like scrolling have a negative impact on the brain’s reward system.

Start by tracking how much time you spend browsing, scrolling social media, watching videos, and gaming. You may be shocked to discover how much time you spend in front of screens. ____38____ Delete distracting apps from your phone and turn off notifications for news and social media. ____39____ There’s a huge world beyond your screen. Reconnect yourself with it by digging into hobbies and activities you enjoy such as going camping and listening to music. In addition, you can volunteer for an organization you believe in or take your favorite exercise. Connect offline with positive people. Your first instinct may be to pick up your phone to connect with someone. ____40____ Developing authentic connections with supportive friends and family in person can lower stress and provide a deeper sense of belonging.

His clothes were old and torn, and his shoes had holes that let in the rain. Tom lived in a tiny room above a noisy cafe, where he worked washing dishes for a few coins each day. Life was hard, but Tom had a dream: he wanted to own a bakery, filling the streets with the warm smell of fresh bread. Tom’s parents passed away when he was young, leaving him with nothing but a kind heart and a strong will. Every night, after cleaning the cafe’s pots, he sat by a flickering candle and read books about baking. He borrowed these books from Mrs. Green, the village librarian, who saw something special in Tom’s bright eyes. One day, a poster appeared in the village square. It announced a baking competition in London, with a grand prize of £10,000. Tom’s heart raced. This could be his chance! But the journey to London cost money, and Tom had none. He worked extra hours, saved every penny, and even sold his only coat to buy a train ticket. When the day came, Tom boarded the train with a small bag and a nervous smile. In London, the competition was held in a huge hall filled with the best bakers from across England. Tom felt small among them. He had no fancy tools, just an old wooden spoon and a recipe he’d created himself, a soft, golden loaf with herbs from the village fields. His hands shook as he mixed flour, water, and yeast (酵母). The shake resulted from not just his nervousness, but also the coldness. After what seemed to be a century, Tom finally completed his herb loaf. All the baked bread and cakes were presented to the judges. The judges tasted them carefully. Hours passed, and Tom’s stomach twisted with worry. It seemed hard for him to make it through the announcement of the winner, both psychologically and physically. Before the judges announced the winner, Tom’s eyes accidentally met a familiar figure’s eyes — Mrs. Green was among the audience! 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。 Mrs. Green was holding a coat and waving her hands at Tom. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ With the prize money, Tom opened a small bakery in his village. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Mrs. Green was holding a coat and waving her hands at Tom. Tom was rather surprised that Mrs. Green, who was the nicest librarian in Tom’s eyes, would come here to watch his competition. The support from his village gave him great confidence, a warm current flowing through his mind. “The winner,” the judges said, “is Tom Harper, for his simple yet extraordinary herb loaf!” The crowd cheered and Tom’s eyes were filled with tears. Mrs. Green raced to Tom and they hugged each other closely and later they happily went back to the village. With the prize money, Tom opened a small bakery in his village. Tom worked very hard and he even got up at dawn to bake. Word spread about his delicious bread and soon, people came from miles away. Tom donated bread to the poor and shared his story to inspire others. “Hard work and kindness can change your life,” he told them. Mrs. Green visited often, sipping tea and saying, “I knew you’d make it, Tom.” Years passed, and Tom has built more than a business but a life of purpose, proving that dreams, hard work, and kindness could turn rags into riches. 【解析】 【导语】本篇书面表达以人物为线索，讲述贫困青年Tom通过烘焙比赛逆袭，实现面包店梦想并回馈社区的故事。 【详解】1. 段落续写 ①由第一段首句“格林夫人手里拿着一件外套，正朝着汤姆挥动着手臂。”可知，本段可描述比赛结果宣布、奖金获取，目标达成的经过和格林夫人以及汤姆的反应。 ②由第二段首句“凭借这笔奖金，汤姆在自己的村庄开了一家小面包店。”可知，本段可描述汤姆实现梦想，帮助他人，回报恩人，生意兴隆，最终取得事业成功。 2. 续写线索 比赛现场——获得支持——意外获胜——得到奖金——开店筹备——生意兴隆——回报他人 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①拥抱：hug/embrace ②传播：spread/go viral/go around 情绪类 ①感动：be filled with tears/welling up with tears/with tears in one’s eyes ③快乐地：happily/joyfully/cheerfully 【点睛】【高分句型1】Tom was rather surprised that Mrs. Green, who was the nicest librarian in Tom’s eyes, would come here to watch his competition.（运用了that引导宾语从句，who引导非限制性定语从句） 【高分句型2】The support from his village gave him great confidence, a warm current flowing through his mind.（运用了独立主格） 【高分句型3】Years passed, and Tom has built more than a business but a life of purpose, proving that dreams, hard work, and kindness could turn rags into riches.（运用了现在分词作状语和宾语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 江苏省海门中学2025-2026学年度第一学期期中考试试卷 高二英语 第一部分：听力（共两节，满分30分） 第一节 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，并标在试卷的相应位置。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 1. 【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 What does the woman ask Larry to do?

Therefore, the organisers have done well to ensure there are changing rooms and showers available for all runners. racebest. com ● Winter Solstice Strider, 8 December Dig that head flashlight out of the messy drawer for this after-dark run or walk for a good cause. You have a 5K route, which winds through the forest at the St Ives Estate. The route is far from flat and will almost certainly be muddy in places, so make sure your batteries are well charged in case there are emergencies. sueryder. org ● The Christmas Charity Run, 21 December This event is run by a most environmentally conscious organiser in the country, and is therefore only open to local runners to reduce car travel. Another great feature is that £7. 50 of the £10 entry fee goes straight to a local charity that supports people with cancer, making this one of the most positive-impact events that you could possibly find. eventrac. co. uk ● Mapledurham 10& Half 29 December Mapledurham events are always well organised and, with unpleasant weather likely, you'll have to deal with some mud on the various uphills and downhills on whichever of the 10K, 10-mile or half-marathon courses you choose. The organisers have prioritised finding a good route over precise measurements, so all three races have a rather loose relationship with their stated distance. mstevents. co. uk 21. Which website offers information for night run participants? A. sueryder. org B. racebest. com C. eventrac. co. uk D. mstevents. co. uk 22. What makes the Mapledurham events unique? A. Eco-friendly goals. B. Flexible race distances. C. Strong charity focus. D. Muddy running courses. 23. Which column of a magazine is the text probably from? A. Tech Trends. B. Athlete Profiles. C. News Insight. D. Race Guide. B In 2015, our readers first met Shailee Basnet, the 34-year-old former Nepali journalist. Shortly after she and six of her countrywomen successfully reached the summit of the tallest mountain on each of the seven continents, On the night of Sept, 8, two years later, Basnet was preparing to entertain a packed house at New York’s Broadway Comedy Club. What Basnet learned from climbing mountains, besides the fact that she is stronger and braver than she knew, is that failure is temporary and anything is achievable if you focus on one step at a time. This works for her in comedy. “You don’t need to find the courage to do everything at once. You only need to find the courage to write your first joke, tell a friend, and then find a platform where people will hear you,” Basnet says. Long before Basnet began dreaming of climbing mountains, she imagined something even more audacious, considering her hometown, Nepal’s capital city, had virtually no comedy scene. A fan of American comedians, Basnet dreamed of becoming a stand-up comic. Along the way, she held on to her comedy dreams. Basnet took her first steps onstage at a show in Kathmandu in 2011 and then began organizing open-mic nights around the city to have a place to showcase her new material. On trips with her husband to visit his family in Boulder, Colorado, Basnet attended stand-up shows and began dreaming of taking the stage in English. “At first, I worried that my jokes wouldn’t translate because people kept saying comedy is very local, very cultural,” Basnet says. “Then I noticed that I could understand 100 percent of what Ellen DeGeneres, Jerry Seinfeld, Russell Peters, all the big comics, were saying. If I can understand them, then I can work to get to the point where they understand me. Beneath the surface, we are all the same. Human emotions and issues — it all becomes very translatable if you go deeper.” How she arrived at this moment, however, still feels a bit like magic. Determined to one day turn her 10-minute set into a two-hour show, Basnet puts as much thought into each performance as she once did into her climbs. 24. What lesson from climbing mountains benefits Basnet’s stage career? A. Confidence and teamwork. B. Intensive physical training. C. Adaptation to environments. D. Determination and steady progress. 25. What does the underlined word “audacious” in paragraph 4 mean? A Daring. B. Eventful. C. Relaxing. D. Unfamiliar. 26. What does paragraph 5 mainly focus on concerning Basnet? A. Her hard efforts to realize goals. B. Her awareness of true passion. C. Her difficult road to success. D. Her popularity on the stage. 27. How did Basnet approach the challenge of performing comedy in English? A. She told her jokes to her husband’s family first. B. She studied American culture closely. C. She focused on universally understandable humor. D. She copied American big comics’ skills. C Human language seems so much more complicated and organized than anything experienced by animals. Nevertheless, animals do indeed communicate complex ideas using precise, intentional language. Vervet monkeys (黑长尾猴), like many other species of primates (灵长目动物), give alarm calls when predators (捕食性动物) approach. These calls act as warnings to others in their group that a predator is about. The interesting part is that there are different calls for different predators. To demonstrate that these vervet calls mean what they thought they meant, primate researchers Robert Seyfarth and Dorothy Cheney performed experiments. They placed loudspeakers in the forest and waited for vervets to approach and then played the various warning calls that they had recorded. Sure enough, playing the eagle call made the vervets look up, playing the leopard call made them climb the nearest tree and head for a thin branch. Another interesting thing about vervets is that they can tell their own children by their cries. In the jungle, when a baby vervet cries, its mother looks in the direction of the scream. Meanwhile all of the other vervets also stop and look, but not toward the baby, toward the mother. Even other mothers that don’t have their babies nearby are not mistaken about which baby is crying. Also, it turns out that vervets have vocabulary for more than just predators and dangers. They also have vocabulary for social relationships such as “higher-ranking member,” “lower-ranking member,” and “competing group of vervets.” To date, we have not interpreted any other primate vocabulary as thoroughly as we have the vervets. It’s only because no one has yet done with any other species what Seyfarth and Cheney have done with vervets. However, you can be sure that, inspired by this success, primatologists are now doing exactly that with many other species. It won’t be long before we have a more complete vocabulary for many more of our primate cousins. 28. How did the researchers distinguish the vervets’ alarm calls? A. By marking their locations. B. By mixing up their predators. C. By observing their escape strategies. D. By comparing them with other species of primates. 29. What might happen if a baby vervet screams in the wild? A. Its mother would run to take care of it. B. Many female vervets would look at it. C. Vervet mothers would look around for their babies. D. Warning calls would be spread among vervet mothers. 30. What is expected of primate studies? A. More humans’ cousins will be identified. B. More cross-species competition will be shown. C. More will be known about their social structures. D. More species’ means of communication will be revealed. 31 What is the best title for the text? A. Humans and primates can communicate. B. Other primates use speech and vocabulary. C. Female primates identify each other’s babies. D. Primates use sounds to signal and react to danger. D If you’ve ever let unworn clothes fill your room just because they were expensive, or followed through on plans you hated because you’d already bought tickets, you’re familiar with the sunk cost effect. “The sunk cost effect is the general tendency for people to continue an action, or continue consuming or pursuing an option, if they’ve invested time or money or some resource in it,” says Christopher Olivola, the author of a paper on the topic published in the journal Psychological Science. “That effect is negative if it’s pushing you to do things that are making you unhappy or worse off.” Sticking with the plan, even when it no longer serves you, could be an attempt to correct cognitive dissonance (认知失调): the mental disconnect between paying for something and not getting the expected return on investment. It could also be an automatic reaction to regret. Or, Olivola says, it could be an attempt to convince others, and ourselves, that we’re not wasteful. You still feel the guilt of “wasting” money even when it’s not your own. In one experiment, Olivola asked participants to imagine that they felt full after eating a few bites of rich cake at a party. Participants were asked to imagine that they had bought the cake themselves, or that someone else had purchased it. They were then asked whether they’d finish the cake, despite feeling full. Regardless of who had bought the cake — friends, strangers or the participants themselves — people were far more likely to say they’d keep eating the expensive cake. Olivola says it’s not totally clear why we feel so pressured to honor others’ investments about as much as we honor our own, but people should try to overcome both versions of the sunk cost effect. “What’s done is done,” Olivola says. “There’s nothing you can do to regain money that’s lost — and pursuing something that makes you unhappy not only isn’t going to get your money back, but it’s also going to make you worse off. You’re just digging a deeper hole.” 32. What strategy does the author use to define the sunk cost effect? A. Explaining research findings. B. Comparing opposing opinions. C. Listing examples and quoting expert words. D. Presenting problems and introducing solutions. 33. Which is a reason people get caught in the sunk cost trap? A. To explore alternative options. B. To avoid making similar mistakes again. C. To make the most of the time and money spent. D. To overcome the conflict caused by past failed investments. 34. What does the cake experiment illustrate? A. We seem terrified of losing our possessions. B. We are guilty of pursuing material pleasures. C. We feel responsible for others’ wasted money. D. We ignore our inner thoughts to accommodate others. 35. What can we infer about the key to overcoming the sunk cost effect? A. List all sunk costs before our actions. B. Focus on the future benefits of giving up. C. Follow our heart when making decisions. D. Value mental health instead of physical gains. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，在短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多于选项。 Brain rot is a state of mental fogginess and cognitive (感知的) decline that results from excessive screen engagement.

You may be shocked to discover how much time you spend in front of screens. ____38____ Delete distracting apps from your phone and turn off notifications for news and social media. ____39____ There’s a huge world beyond your screen.

His clothes were old and torn, and his shoes had holes that let in the rain. Tom lived in a tiny room above a noisy cafe, where he worked washing dishes for a few coins each day. Life was hard, but Tom had a dream: he wanted to own a bakery, filling the streets with the warm smell of fresh bread. Tom’s parents passed away when he was young, leaving him with nothing but a kind heart and a strong will. Every night, after cleaning the cafe’s pots, he sat by a flickering candle and read books about baking. He borrowed these books from Mrs. Green, the village librarian, who saw something special in Tom’s bright eyes. One day, a poster appeared in the village square. It announced a baking competition in London, with a grand prize of £10,000. Tom’s heart raced. This could be his chance! But the journey to London cost money, and Tom had none. He worked extra hours, saved every penny, and even sold his only coat to buy a train ticket. When the day came, Tom boarded the train with a small bag and a nervous smile. In London, the competition was held in a huge hall filled with the best bakers from across England. Tom felt small among them. He had no fancy tools, just an old wooden spoon and a recipe he’d created himself, a soft, golden loaf with herbs from the village fields. His hands shook as he mixed flour, water, and yeast (酵母). The shake resulted from not just his nervousness, but also the coldness. After what seemed to be a century, Tom finally completed his herb loaf. All the baked bread and cakes were presented to the judges. The judges tasted them carefully. Hours passed, and Tom’s stomach twisted with worry. It seemed hard for him to make it through the announcement of the winner, both psychologically and physically. Before the judges announced the winner, Tom’s eyes accidentally met a familiar figure’s eyes — Mrs. Green was among the audience! 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。 Mrs. Green was holding a coat and waving her hands at Tom. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ With the prize money, Tom opened a small bakery in his village. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $听力考试正式开始。Did you bring your homework, Larry?

Actually, I first learned about this APP in two thousand and fifteen, but I started using IT in two thousand and seventeen. The APP offers something people really need ways to manage their busy minds. IT includes guided breathing exercises, relaxing music and even bedtime stories. Among them, the last one is my favorite. They make me relax, forget the stress of the day and go into a peaceful sleep. You can select sessions by length from quick three minute exercises to longer ones that last thirty minutes or more. IT also keeps track of your progress, so you can see how often you ve used IT and how much is helping you over time. Next, i'll show you how to sign up as a formal user and how to use IT. 听力部分到此结束。
