The seldom-used dining room of my house has become my ballroom, with a hardwood floor, a stereo, and a disco ball. I have some music ready: waltz, swing, country, rock -and-roll, and tango (探戈舞曲). Each morning, I turn on the music, and it’s dance time! As a quiet woman, I dance alone, considering it a form of healthy movement and moving meditation. Tango is my recent enthusiasm. It’s complex and difficult, so I take three lessons a week and go out to dance three nights a week. I m even planning a three month trip to Buenos Aires to immerse myself in tango culture. The first time I went tango dancing, I was too intimidated to get on the floor. I remembered a similar experience at a village wedding on the Greek island of Crete, where I stayed on the sidelines because the fancy footwork confused me. Moments later, an older woman, reading my mind, sat beside me and said, “If you join the dancing, you will feel foolish. If you do not, you will also feel foolish. So, why not dance?” She added that if I didn’t dance, they would know I was a fool, but if I tried, they would think well of me. Her words inspired me to take up the challenge of tango. A friend viewed my passion for tango as an ambitious pursuit, saying, “Tango? At your age? You must be out of your mind!” But I see it as a deeply considered decision. My passion for tango hides my fear of aging and boredom. I seek the thrill of starting something new that challenges my mind, body, and spirit. My goal is to dance as long as I can and then age contentedly, knowing I’ve lived fully. So, when people question my tango at my age, I say, “No, I haven’t lost my mind. I’m just living.” 4. What does the underlined word “intimidated” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Bored. B. Excited. C. Frightened. D. Surprised. 5. Why did the older woman talk with the author? A. To make fun of her. B. To encourage her to dance. C. To teach her dancing skills. D. To discuss Greek wedding dance. 6. What does the author want to tell us in the last paragraph? A. Tango lets her live life fully. B. Dancing makes her younger. C. Aging should be faced actively. D. New challenges bring true happiness. 7. What can be the best title for the text? A. My Journey to Buenos Aires. B. Dancing Beyond Age Limits. C. Challenges of Learning Tango. D. Overcoming Fear Through Tango. C Last year, the world lost more forests than ever before, with fires being the biggest cause. Land clearing for farming and other human activities also played major roles. The results are very worrying for the planet, which relies on forests to help fight climate change. Researchers from the University of Maryland and the World Resources Institute (WRI) reported that the world lost about 25,870 square miles of primary rainforest last year. That’s almost double the amount that was lost in 2023. It wasn’t just rainforest that disappeared more rapidly last year. Due to strong wildfire seasons in Canada and Russia, the total tree cover loss increased by 5% over 2023. In all, the world lost 115,830 square miles of forests last year. That’s an area roughly the size of Italy. WRI estimates that the world is losing forests at a rate of about 18 soccer fields every minute. In 2021, the leaders of more than 120 countries signed an agreement to stop forest loss and increase forest area by 2030. Sadly, that is not happening. 17 of the 20 countries with the most primary forests are losing more forests now than when they signed the agreement. Brazil, with the most tropical (热带的) rainforest, suffered the greatest loss, accounting for 42% of the world’s primary forest loss. Brazil has been suffering from its worst drought ever. These dry conditions meant that fires caused 66% of its forest loss. Bolivia saw a 2.5 times increase in forest loss in 2024 compared to 2023, largely due to uncontrolled fires started for land clearing. However, not all the news is bad. Indonesia reduced its primary forest loss by 11%, partly due to government efforts to prevent fires. Malaysia also saw a 13% drop in forest loss. To meet the goal of ending forest loss by 2030, the world needs to lower its forest loss by 20% every year. Rod Taylor, who works for WRI, says, “It’s time for governments, businesses and individuals to act now, or stopping the loss of forests will be more difficult.” 8. How does the author present the viewpoint in paragraph 2? A. By offering expert opinions. B. By using vivid descriptions. C. By sharing personal experiences. D. By providing statistical data. 9. What does the underlined word “that” in paragraph 3 refer to? A. The signing of the agreement. B. The goal of the agreement. C. The rate of forest growth. D. The land clearing for farming. 10. What can we learn about Brazil and Bolivia from the text? A. They are facing severe environmental challenges. B. Their forest loss is mainly due to human activities. C. Their forest loss is causing big economic problems. D. They have successfully controlled their forest loss. 11. What does the author want to say by mentioning Rod Taylor? A. Ultimate goal is within reach. B. Action is needed without delay. C. Governments need to do more. D. Joint efforts can solve the problem. D Brains are usually considered a bacteria-free zone. But that’s not the case for some fish. Wild and lab-grown salmonids (鲑科鱼)harbor active microbial (微生物的)communities in their brains. Most of the bacteria found in brains of lab-reared rainbow trout (虹鳟)appear to have initially come from their blood and guts. That suggests that microbes from other parts of the body can cross the blood-brain barrier. That layer of cells lies between brain cells and blood vessels, letting oxygen and nutrients in and keeping bacteria out. Microbial infection of animal brains has usually been linked to disease. For instance, brain-infiltrating microbes may be linked with Alzheimer’s disease in people. But brain bacteria aren’t necessarily bad news for fish. “The bacteria might even help rainbow trout pick up on microbial cues in the environment, aiding the migratory fish in navigation (航行)rivers,” says Irene Salinas, an immunologist studying fish. Salinas’ team searched for bacteria in brain samples from rainbow trout and grew 54 types of bacteria from lab-reared fish. That suggests that fish brains have a microbial community. Genetic analyses also revealed signs that bacteria adapt to living in the brain and cross the blood-brain barrier. While brain bacteria might not always be harmful to fish, there are exceptions. For example, the brains of aging Chinook salmon nearing death tend to have higher levels of bacteria compared to those of younger fish. These aging brains also show a buildup of amyloid-beta, a protein linked to Alzheimer’s disease in humans. This suggests that, similar to gut microbes, brain bacteria can potentially go out of balance, leading to health problems. The new findings open up questions about whether only fish have bacteria in the brain. Other animals may have brains chock-full of microbes, too. “When it comes to fish, there’s lots of diversity of different fishes on the planet,” Salinas says. “Maybe deep-sea fish or sharks have unique brain bacteria that help them live far below the surface.” 12. What function does the blood-brain barrier play in salmonids? A. To block oxygen. B. To produce bacteria. C. To provide nutrients. D. To keep the brain healthy. 13. In which way can the brain bacteria help rainbow trout? A. Finding the way. B. Boosting growth. C. Controlling disease. D. Preventing infection. 14. What does the example of the aging Chinook salmon imply? A. Aging fish have few brain bacteria. B. Young fish lack enough brain bacteria. C. Brain bacteria can cause health problems. D. Brain bacteria are always beneficial to fish. 15. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. Brain bacteria of the sea life are the same. B. More research on animals’ brain bacteria is needed. C Many animals’ brains are full of different microbes. D. Salinas will study why fish can live far below the surface. 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。 Your comfort zone is that familiar, predictable space where tasks feel effortless — a protective bubble (泡沫) shielding you from stress and uncertainty. ____16____ There are some ways to break out of your comfort zone without going too far.

The moment the bell above the door rang, Mr Carter behind the counter would call out, “Window table’s ready for Team Miller!” That corner table by the sunny window had witnessed countless pancake breakfasts, homework sessions, and my little brother Noah’s slow but steady progress with his speech disorder. Noah, now eight, had always been shy around strangers. But at the diner, something magical happened. Maybe it was how waitress Maria remembered his exact order (chocolate chip pancakes cut into squares) without being told, or how old Mr Jenkins at the next table would pretend not to notice when Noah practiced saying “thank you” to the salt shaker first before trying it on real people. Over two years, those weekend visits helped Noah’s confidence grow like the big tree shading our favorite table. Last weekend, our routine was broken. A flat tire made us an hour late — a lifelong time in Noah’s world. When we finally arrived, Noah seemed to be at a loss, and his “I’m trying not to cry” face fully activated. The diner buzzed with its usual Saturday crowd, but to Noah, the unfamiliar faces might as well have been from a foreign country. His eyes hurried toward our usual table—occupied by a family with laughing young children. Maria spotted us first from across the room. Her usual cheerful greeting caught in her throat when she saw Noah’s expression. Without hesitation, she abandoned the coffee pot mid-pour and wove through the tables toward us. The regulars at the counter moved their chairs, sensing something special unfolding. That morning, our delayed breakfast became a reminder that some places don’t just serve food—they help voices find their wings. But in that tense moment when we first arrived late, all that mattered was the upset written across Noah’s face. His wide eyes scanned the crowded diner desperately, searching for the one person who always knew how to make things right. 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。 Maria at the counter immediately noticed Noah’s upset. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Just as I was about to apologize for our lateness, Noah did something unexpected. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 高二阶段性检测 英  语 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?

I remembered a similar experience at a village wedding on the Greek island of Crete, where I stayed on the sidelines because the fancy footwork confused me. Moments later, an older woman, reading my mind, sat beside me and said, “If you join the dancing, you will feel foolish. If you do not, you will also feel foolish. So, why not dance?” She added that if I didn’t dance, they would know I was a fool, but if I tried, they would think well of me. Her words inspired me to take up the challenge of tango. A friend viewed my passion for tango as an ambitious pursuit, saying, “Tango? At your age? You must be out of your mind!” But I see it as a deeply considered decision. My passion for tango hides my fear of aging and boredom. I seek the thrill of starting something new that challenges my mind, body, and spirit. My goal is to dance as long as I can and then age contentedly, knowing I’ve lived fully. So, when people question my tango at my age, I say, “No, I haven’t lost my mind. I’m just living.” 4. What does the underlined word “intimidated” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Bored. B. Excited. C. Frightened. D. Surprised. 5. Why did the older woman talk with the author? A. To make fun of her. B. To encourage her to dance. C. To teach her dancing skills. D. To discuss Greek wedding dance. 6. What does the author want to tell us in the last paragraph? A. Tango lets her live life fully. B. Dancing makes her younger. C. Aging should be faced actively. D. New challenges bring true happiness. 7. What can be the best title for the text? A. My Journey to Buenos Aires. B. Dancing Beyond Age Limits. C. Challenges of Learning Tango. D. Overcoming Fear Through Tango. 【答案】4. C 5. B 6. A 7. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述作者对舞蹈的热爱，尤其是探戈，以及舞蹈对她生活的意义。 【4题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段中的“The first time I went tango dancing, I was too intimidated to get on the floor. I remembered a similar experience at a village wedding on the Greek island of Crete, where I stayed on the sidelines because the fancy footwork confused me.(我第一次去跳探戈时，太intimidated了，不敢上场。我记得在希腊克里特岛的一个乡村婚礼上也有过类似的经历，当时我因为复杂的舞步让我感到困惑，所以只能站在一旁。)”可知，作者因为舞步复杂而不敢上场，所以“intimidated”是“害怕的”意思。故选C项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“Moments later, an older woman, reading my mind, sat beside me and said, “If you join the dancing, you will feel foolish. If you do not, you will also feel foolish. So, why not dance?” She added that if I didn’t dance, they would know I was a fool, but if I tried, they would think well of me. Her words inspired me to take up the challenge of tango.(过了一会儿，一位年长的女士看穿了我的心思，坐在我旁边说：“如果你加入跳舞，你会觉得自己很傻。如果你不跳，你也会觉得傻。那么，为什么不跳呢？”她补充说，如果我不跳，他们会知道我是个傻瓜，但如果我尝试了，他们会对我有好感。她的话激励我接受探戈的挑战。)”可知，年长女士的话是为了鼓励作者去跳舞。故选B项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“My goal is to dance as long as I can and then age contentedly, knowing I’ve lived fully. So, when people question my tango at my age, I say, “No, I haven’t lost my mind. I’m just living.”(我的目标是尽可能长时间地跳舞，然后心满意足地老去，知道自己活得很充实。所以，当人们质疑我这个年纪跳探戈时，我说：“不，我没有疯。我只是在好好生活而已。”)”可知，作者想告诉我们探戈让她的生活变得充实。故选A项。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是最后一段“A friend viewed my passion for tango as an ambitious pursuit, saying, “Tango? At your age? You must be out of your mind!” But I see it as a deeply considered decision. My passion for tango hides my fear of aging and boredom. I seek the thrill of starting something new that challenges my mind, body, and spirit. My goal is to dance as long as I can and then age contentedly, knowing I’ve lived fully. So, when people question my tango at my age, I say, “No, I haven’t lost my mind. I’m just living.”(一位朋友把我对探戈的热爱视为一种不切实际的追求，说道：“探戈？你这把年纪了还跳？你肯定是疯了！”但我认为这是一个深思熟虑后的决定。我对探戈的热情，掩盖了我对衰老和枯燥生活的恐惧。我渴望体验开启新事物的刺激感，这种新事物能挑战我的心智、身体和精神。我的目标是尽可能长久地跳下去，然后心满意足地老去，因为我知道自己活得很充实。所以，当人们质疑我这个年纪还跳探戈时，我会说：“不，我没疯。我只是在好好生活而已。”)”可知，文章主要讲述作者不受年龄限制，热爱并坚持跳探戈，体现了舞蹈超越年龄界限的主题。所以短文的最佳标题为“超越年龄界限的舞蹈”。故选B项。 C Last year, the world lost more forests than ever before, with fires being the biggest cause. Land clearing for farming and other human activities also played major roles. The results are very worrying for the planet, which relies on forests to help fight climate change. Researchers from the University of Maryland and the World Resources Institute (WRI) reported that the world lost about 25,870 square miles of primary rainforest last year. That’s almost double the amount that was lost in 2023. It wasn’t just rainforest that disappeared more rapidly last year. Due to strong wildfire seasons in Canada and Russia, the total tree cover loss increased by 5% over 2023. In all, the world lost 115,830 square miles of forests last year. That’s an area roughly the size of Italy. WRI estimates that the world is losing forests at a rate of about 18 soccer fields every minute. In 2021, the leaders of more than 120 countries signed an agreement to stop forest loss and increase forest area by 2030. Sadly, that is not happening. 17 of the 20 countries with the most primary forests are losing more forests now than when they signed the agreement. Brazil, with the most tropical (热带的) rainforest, suffered the greatest loss, accounting for 42% of the world’s primary forest loss. Brazil has been suffering from its worst drought ever. These dry conditions meant that fires caused 66% of its forest loss. Bolivia saw a 2.5 times increase in forest loss in 2024 compared to 2023, largely due to uncontrolled fires started for land clearing. However, not all the news is bad. Indonesia reduced its primary forest loss by 11%, partly due to government efforts to prevent fires. Malaysia also saw a 13% drop in forest loss. To meet the goal of ending forest loss by 2030, the world needs to lower its forest loss by 20% every year. Rod Taylor, who works for WRI, says, “It’s time for governments, businesses and individuals to act now, or stopping the loss of forests will be more difficult.” 8. How does the author present the viewpoint in paragraph 2? A. By offering expert opinions. B. By using vivid descriptions. C. By sharing personal experiences. D. By providing statistical data. 9. What does the underlined word “that” in paragraph 3 refer to? A. The signing of the agreement. B. The goal of the agreement. C. The rate of forest growth. D. The land clearing for farming. 10. What can we learn about Brazil and Bolivia from the text? A. They are facing severe environmental challenges. B. Their forest loss is mainly due to human activities. C. Their forest loss is causing big economic problems. D. They have successfully controlled their forest loss. 11. What does the author want to say by mentioning Rod Taylor? A. Ultimate goal is within reach. B. Action is needed without delay. C. Governments need to do more. D. Joint efforts can solve the problem. 【答案】8. D 9. B 10. A 11. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。介绍了全球森林消失的严峻现状、原因及相关国家的情况，同时呼吁各方采取行动遏制森林流失。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Researchers from the University of Maryland and the World Resources Institute (WRI) reported that the world lost about 25,870 square miles of primary rainforest last year. That’s almost double the amount that was lost in 2023. It wasn’t just rainforest that disappeared more rapidly last year. Due to strong wildfire seasons in Canada and Russia, the total tree cover loss increased by 5% over 2023. In all, the world lost 115,830 square miles of forests last year. (马里兰大学和世界资源研究所（WRI）的研究人员报告说，去年世界上损失了大约25,870平方英里的原始雨林。这几乎是2023年损失的两倍。去年消失得更快的不仅仅是雨林。由于加拿大和俄罗斯的强烈野火季节，2023年的树木覆盖损失总量增加了5%。去年，全球总共失去了115,830平方英里的森林)”可知，作者通过提供统计数据来呈现观点。故选D项。 【9题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段“In 2021, the leaders of more than 120 countries signed an agreement to stop forest loss and increase forest area by 2030. Sadly, that is not happening. (2021年，120多个国家的领导人签署了一项协议，到2030年制止森林损失并增加森林面积。遗憾的是，that未发生)”可知，that指代的是上一句协议里“到2030年停止森林流失并增加森林面积”的目标。故选B项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Brazil, with the most tropical (热带的) rainforest, suffered the greatest loss, accounting for 42% of the world’s primary forest loss. Brazil has been suffering from its worst drought ever. (拥有最多热带雨林的巴西遭受的损失最大，占世界原始森林损失的42%。巴西正遭受有史以来最严重的干旱)”以及“Bolivia saw a 2.5 times increase in forest loss in 2024 compared to 2023, largely due to uncontrolled fires started for land clearing.(与2023年相比，玻利维亚2024年的森林损失增加了2.5倍，主要原因是为了清理土地而开始的不受控制的火灾)”可知，巴西和玻利维亚都面临严重的环境挑战。故选A项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Rod Taylor, who works for WRI, says, “It’s time for governments, businesses and individuals to act now, or stopping the loss of forests will be more difficult.” (世界资源研究所的Rod Taylor说：“现在是政府、企业和个人采取行动的时候了，否则，阻止森林流失将变得更加困难。”)”可知，作者提及他是为了说明需要立即采取行动。故选B项。 D Brains are usually considered a bacteria-free zone. But that’s not the case for some fish. Wild and lab-grown salmonids (鲑科鱼)harbor active microbial (微生物的)communities in their brains. Most of the bacteria found in brains of lab-reared rainbow trout (虹鳟)appear to have initially come from their blood and guts. That suggests that microbes from other parts of the body can cross the blood-brain barrier. That layer of cells lies between brain cells and blood vessels, letting oxygen and nutrients in and keeping bacteria out. Microbial infection of animal brains has usually been linked to disease. For instance, brain-infiltrating microbes may be linked with Alzheimer’s disease in people. But brain bacteria aren’t necessarily bad news for fish. “The bacteria might even help rainbow trout pick up on microbial cues in the environment, aiding the migratory fish in navigation (航行)rivers,” says Irene Salinas, an immunologist studying fish. Salinas’ team searched for bacteria in brain samples from rainbow trout and grew 54 types of bacteria from lab-reared fish. That suggests that fish brains have a microbial community. Genetic analyses also revealed signs that bacteria adapt to living in the brain and cross the blood-brain barrier. While brain bacteria might not always be harmful to fish, there are exceptions. For example, the brains of aging Chinook salmon nearing death tend to have higher levels of bacteria compared to those of younger fish. These aging brains also show a buildup of amyloid-beta, a protein linked to Alzheimer’s disease in humans. This suggests that, similar to gut microbes, brain bacteria can potentially go out of balance, leading to health problems. The new findings open up questions about whether only fish have bacteria in the brain. Other animals may have brains chock-full of microbes, too. “When it comes to fish, there’s lots of diversity of different fishes on the planet,” Salinas says. “Maybe deep-sea fish or sharks have unique brain bacteria that help them live far below the surface.” 12. What function does the blood-brain barrier play in salmonids? A. To block oxygen. B. To produce bacteria. C. To provide nutrients. D. To keep the brain healthy. 13. In which way can the brain bacteria help rainbow trout? A. Finding the way. B. Boosting growth. C. Controlling disease. D. Preventing infection. 14. What does the example of the aging Chinook salmon imply? A. Aging fish have few brain bacteria. B. Young fish lack enough brain bacteria. C. Brain bacteria can cause health problems. D. Brain bacteria are always beneficial to fish. 15. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. Brain bacteria of the sea life are the same. B. More research on animals’ brain bacteria is needed. C. Many animals’ brains are full of different microbes. D. Salinas will study why fish can live far below the surface. 【答案】12. D 13. A 14. C 15. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍研究发现鲑科鱼脑中有活跃微生物群落，可能有益也可能失衡致病，还引发对其他动物脑细菌的疑问。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“That layer of cells lies between brain cells and blood vessels, letting oxygen and nutrients in and keeping bacteria out.(这层细胞位于脑细胞和血管之间，让氧气和营养物质进入，防止细菌进入)”可知，血脑屏障可以让氧气和营养物质进入大脑，并防止细菌进入，因此它对鲑鱼的大脑健康有益，维护大脑健康。故选D。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“But brain bacteria aren’t necessarily bad news for fish. “The bacteria might even help rainbow trout pick up on microbial cues in the environment, aiding the migratory fish in navigation (航行) rivers,” says Irene Salinas, an immunologist studying fish.(但大脑细菌对鱼类来说并不一定是坏消息。研究鱼类的免疫学家Irene Salinas说：“这种细菌甚至可以帮助虹鳟鱼捕捉环境中的微生物线索，帮助河流中的洄游鱼类。”)”可知，大脑细菌可以帮助虹鳟鱼找路。故选A。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“While brain bacteria might not always be harmful to fish, there are exceptions. For example, the brains of aging Chinook salmon nearing death tend to have higher levels of bacteria compared to those of younger fish. These aging brains also show a buildup of amyloid-beta, a protein linked to Alzheimer’s disease in humans. (虽然大脑细菌可能并不总是对鱼有害，但也有例外。例如，与年轻的鱼类相比，接近死亡的年老奇努克鲑鱼的大脑往往含有更高水平的细菌。这些衰老的大脑也显示出淀粉样蛋白的积累，这是一种与人类阿尔茨海默病有关的蛋白质)”推知，年老奇努克鲑鱼的例子说明大脑细菌可能造成健康问题。故选C。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“The new findings open up questions about whether only fish have bacteria in the brain. Other animals may have brains chock-full of microbes, too. “When it comes to fish, there’s lots of diversity of different fishes on the planet,” Salinas says. “Maybe deep-sea fish or sharks have unique brain bacteria that help them live far below the surface.”(这项新发现提出了一个问题，即是否只有鱼类的大脑中才有细菌。其他动物的大脑可能也充满了微生物。萨利纳斯说：“说到鱼，地球上有很多不同种类的鱼。“也许深海鱼类或鲨鱼有独特的大脑细菌，可以帮助它们生活在远离水面的地方。”)”可知，这项新发现提出未解疑问，还有很多不明确的地方，暗示需要更多研究来探索动物脑细菌的多样性。由此推知，关于动物大脑细菌还需要更多的研究。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，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。 Your comfort zone is that familiar, predictable space where tasks feel effortless — a protective bubble (泡沫) shielding you from stress and uncertainty. ____16____ There are some ways to break out of your comfort zone without going too far.

(有时候慢下来只会让你感到不舒服——尤其是当你在工作或个人生活中看重速度和敏捷思维的时候。)”指出不愿慢下来的原因，后文“And take your time to interpret what you see. (慢慢来解读你所看到的。)”指出下一步是理解所见，此处应补充慢下来的第一步，因此D项“Slow down, and observe what’s going on. (放慢速度，观察周围情况。)”符合语境，承前启后，其中的observe和后文的see呼应。故选D。 【19题详解】 后文“It takes a lot of courage to break out of your comfort zone. You get the same benefits whether you go in with both feet or you do if you start slow, so don’t be afraid to start slow. Identify your fears, and then face them step by step. (走出你的舒适区需要很大的勇气。无论你是用两只脚开始还是慢点开始，你都能得到同样的好处，所以不要害怕慢点开始。确定你的恐惧，然后一步一步地面对它们。)”指出走出舒适区并不容易，可以慢点开始，逐步面对恐惧，此处是段首句，应总的建议从小处着手，且需和前两段段首句一样使用祈使句的形式，因此A项“Do it in small steps. (从小步骤开始。)”符合语境，契合后文内容。故选A。 【20题详解】 前文“You can learn a new language or skill, connect with people that inspire you, or volunteer in an organization that does great work.

(运用了现在分词作伴随状语) 第二节 （满分 25 分） 47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。 Every Saturday at 10 am, our family would push open the glass door of Maple Tree Diner, greeted by the smell of delicious food. The moment the bell above the door rang, Mr Carter behind the counter would call out, “Window table’s ready for Team Miller!” That corner table by the sunny window had witnessed countless pancake breakfasts, homework sessions, and my little brother Noah’s slow but steady progress with his speech disorder. Noah, now eight, had always been shy around strangers. But at the diner, something magical happened. Maybe it was how waitress Maria remembered his exact order (chocolate chip pancakes cut into squares) without being told, or how old Mr Jenkins at the next table would pretend not to notice when Noah practiced saying “thank you” to the salt shaker first before trying it on real people. Over two years, those weekend visits helped Noah’s confidence grow like the big tree shading our favorite table. Last weekend, our routine was broken. A flat tire made us an hour late — a lifelong time in Noah’s world. When we finally arrived, Noah seemed to be at a loss, and his “I’m trying not to cry” face fully activated. The diner buzzed with its usual Saturday crowd, but to Noah, the unfamiliar faces might as well have been from a foreign country. His eyes hurried toward our usual table—occupied by a family with laughing young children. Maria spotted us first from across the room. Her usual cheerful greeting caught in her throat when she saw Noah’s expression. Without hesitation, she abandoned the coffee pot mid-pour and wove through the tables toward us. The regulars at the counter moved their chairs, sensing something special unfolding. That morning, our delayed breakfast became a reminder that some places don’t just serve food—they help voices find their wings. But in that tense moment when we first arrived late, all that mattered was the upset written across Noah’s face. His wide eyes scanned the crowded diner desperately, searching for the one person who always knew how to make things right. 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。 Maria at the counter immediately noticed Noah’s upset. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Just as I was about to apologize for our lateness, Noah did something unexpected. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】例文 Maria at the counter immediately noticed Noah’s upset. She quickly came over and knelt down to Noah’s level. “Hey, Noah. It’s okay. We’ve all been a bit late sometimes. Your favorite table is still waiting for you. And look, I’ve kept your chocolate chip pancakes special, just the way you like.” Her warm words seemed to calm Noah a little. Just as I was about to apologize for our lateness, Noah did something unexpected. He took a deep breath and said, “Thank... you, Maria.” His voice was a bit shaky, but it was clear. Everyone around us, including the other customers, smiled. Maria’s eyes lit up with pride. “That’s wonderful, Noah! Now, let’s go to our special table and enjoy those pancakes.” And with that, Noah walked a bit more confidently towards the table, as if the little setback was just a small cloud passing by. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了每周六上午 10 点，作者一家都会去枫树餐厅。在那里，弟弟诺亚从因语言障碍而在陌生人面前害羞，到逐渐建立自信。上周末，因车胎爆了导致他们迟到一小时，到达餐厅时，诺亚常坐的靠窗角落桌被占，他显得不知所措且十分沮丧。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“在柜台的玛丽亚立刻察觉到诺亚的沮丧。”可知，第一段续写应围绕服务员玛丽亚对诺亚的安抚展开，描述她如何用温暖的话语和行动让诺亚平静下来，展现玛丽亚对诺亚的关心和了解。 ②由第二段首句内容“就在我准备为我们的迟到道歉时，诺亚做出了一件出乎意料的事。”可知，第二段续写要体现诺亚的意外举动，即他主动向玛丽亚表达感谢，突出诺亚的成长，以及周围人对此的反应，展现餐厅里温馨的氛围。 2.续写线索：玛丽亚注意到诺亚的沮丧——过来蹲下安慰他——说桌子和食物都为他留着——诺亚在作者准备道歉时，主动向玛丽亚道谢——大家微笑，玛丽亚自豪，诺亚自信 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①微笑：smiled /beamed ②蹲下：knelt down /crouched down ③走向：walked towards /moved towards 情绪类： ①自豪：pride /proudness ②自信地：confidently /assuredly 【点睛】[高分句型1] And look, I’ve kept your chocolate chip pancakes special, just the way you like.
