John Nash John Nash had mental disease. He mixed the line between what is real and what isn’t. His life story was given light due to the movie A Beautiful Mind.

Frida Kahlo During her childhood, Frida Kahlo suffered from polio (小儿麻痹症). When she became a young lady, she was also involved in an accident that worsened her problems. Throughout her entire life, she was facing serious physical issues and was in bed because of severe pain. However, she didn’t let that defeat her, and she became one of the famous artists of the 20th century. Andrea Bocelli Andrea Bocelli was partially blind but that didn’t stop him from taking piano lessons until he was 6 years old. Unfortunately, when he was 12 years old, he suffered a blow during a football game that completely blinded him. His blindness didn’t stop him from pursuing and focusing on singing. Bethany Hamilton Bethany Hamilton, at the age of 13, was a rising star surfer. However, after an attack with a 14-foot tiger shark, she, unfortunately, lost her left arm. One month after the attack, she was back on the seas and surfing to her dreams once again. After 2 years, she won her first national surfing title. She is still an active surf competitor to this day. 1. What can we know about John Nash? A. He was inspired by a book. B. He suffered a lot physically. C. He made it in academic career. D.

He won a Nobel Prize in Economics in 1994.(约翰・纳什深知自己身患疾病，却始终与之抗争，未曾让疾病摧毁自己，最终成就了成功的学术生涯。他于1994年获得了诺贝尔经济学奖。)”可知，约翰・纳什在学术领域取得了成就。故选C项。 【2题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“When she became a young lady, she was also involved in an accident that worsened her problems.(在她年轻的时候，还遭遇了一场事故，让她的身体状况雪上加霜。)”和第五段中“However, after an attack with a 14-foot tiger shark, she, unfortunately, lost her left arm.(然而，在遭遇一条14英尺长的虎鲨袭击后，她不幸失去了左臂。)”可知，弗里达・卡罗和贝瑟尼・汉密尔顿都遭遇了严重的意外。故选C项。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Here is the list of people with disabilities, who are living life to the fullest!(这便是那些身有残疾却尽情享受生活的人们的名单！)”以及下文内容可知，文中约翰・纳什对抗精神疾病成就学术、弗里达・卡罗克服身体病痛成为知名艺术家、安德烈・波切利失明后坚持歌唱、贝瑟尼・汉密尔顿失去手臂仍继续冲浪并夺冠，结合四人皆直面残疾与磨难却活出精彩的经历可知，他们都是坚韧的人，tough意为“坚韧的；顽强的”。故选B项。 B I spent a lot of my childhood in my grandma’s country kitchen. My grandma was a brilliant baker and the most prized possession in the kitchen was her recipe(食谱) box jammed with secret family recipes. That tiny kitchen was where my family gathered every Sunday and holiday, but it wasn’t just a place to cook. It was the place where she connected our family’s past to the present, teaching me our family history through the food she made. The kitchen is where we shared our lives with each other too. After baking, she would always cut two slices of pie, then pour a cup of coffee for herself and a glass of milk for me, and we’d sit and talk at her table. We’d mostly discuss what I was going to do when I grew up, how I was going to change the world and see places she’d never been to. My grandma was also happy to tell me what happened in her life and her dream was. I was in college when my grandma hosted her last Thanksgiving. I returned home on break and spent most of my time in the kitchen with her, baking the pies for our family. When we finished, she cut two slices and poured the coffee and milk, as always. Now every Thanksgiving, in my own kitchen, I make the treasured desserts from her recipe box, cut two slices and “tell” her about my life. 4. Which is closest in meaning to the underlined word “jammed” in paragraph 1? A. Filled. B. Covered. C. Surrounded. D. Connected. 5. Why does the author say the kitchen wasn’t just a place to cook? A. It provided shelter for him. B. He disliked the small kitchen. C. He could learn more about his family. D. It was equipped with advanced facilities. 6. What can we learn about the author’s grandma? A. She managed to run a baking shop. B. She lacked some experience in cooking. C. She seldom appeared in her own kitchen. D. She often shared everything with the author. 7. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Grandma’s Slice of Love B. Treasured Family Gathering C. Grandma’s Country Kitchen D. Unforgettable Thanksgiving 【答案】4. A 5. C 6. D 7. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者在奶奶厨房中度过的童年时光以及奶奶通过食物传递的家庭历史和爱。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“My grandma was a brilliant baker and the most prized possession in the kitchen was her recipe(食谱) box jammed with secret family recipes.(我的奶奶是个出色的面包师，厨房里最珍贵的东西就是她的食谱盒，里面jammed秘传的家庭食谱)”可知，奶奶是个出色的面包师，所以食谱盒里装满了食谱。jammed意为“装满”，与filled意思相近。故选A。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“It was the place where she connected our family’s past to the present, teaching me our family history through the food she made.(这是她把我们家的过去和现在联系起来的地方，通过她做的食物教我我们家的历史)”可知，作者说厨房不仅仅是一个做饭的地方，是因为他可以在那里了解更多关于家庭的事情。故选C。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“The kitchen is where we shared our lives with each other too. After baking, she would always cut two slices of pie, then pour a cup of coffee for herself and a glass of milk for me, and we’d sit and talk at her table.(厨房也是我们分享生活的地方。烤好后，她总是切两片派，然后给自己倒一杯咖啡，给我倒一杯牛奶，我们坐在她的桌子旁聊天)”以及“My grandma was also happy to tell me what happened in her life and her dream was.(我的奶奶也很乐意告诉我她生活中发生的事情和她的梦想)”可推知，作者的奶奶经常和作者分享一切。故选D。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。结合全文内容可知，文章主要讲述了作者在奶奶厨房中度过的童年时光以及奶奶通过食物传递的家庭历史和爱，所以A选项“Grandma’s Slice of Love(奶奶的一片爱)”适合作为文章标题。故选A。 C It happens at least once in every pet owner’s life: You look into your animal companion’s eyes and wonder what they’re not telling you. Pets are members of our families, but they can’t speak to us to say they’re in a good mood, or their stomach hurts today or they’re feeling lonely. So how do you know what your pet is actually feeling, and what should you do if they aren’t happy? A major signal of pet happiness lies in body language. A happy dog will likely have its ears forward, posture upright and tail wagging. A happy cat will also have its ears forward, posture relaxed and tail upright with a slight bend in it. Both dogs and cats may vocalize (发声) when happy. But an anxious dog may be cowering, ears set back, nose dry, with its tail down or between its legs. Similarly, an unhappy cat will have its ears back and away from the head, its tail down and back arched or low, and may hiss, spit or scratch. If your pet is unusually lethargic or expresses reduced interest in playing or socializing, they may be in pain or unhappy. How to help if your pet seems unhappy? Speak with your veterinarian (兽医) as soon as possible. Many pets may need medication to treat pain or anxiety, while others may need a course of training to help ease their anxious behavioral patterns. Engaging your pet’s senses can also stimulate (刺激) your pet to keep calm as they absorb the world around them. “Exercise is great, but you definitely want to let dogs sniff. We explore our world visually, but they are all about the smells… It’s how they’re going to get information.” says Amy Pike, a veterinary behaviorist. Ultimately, your pet is an individual, so no two animals will show distress or happiness the same way. Meeting your pet’s physical needs and ensuring they have various types of enrichment are the best ways to ensure reduced stress levels, which may correlate with longer life spans as they do in humans. 8. What’s the purpose of the first paragraph? A. To present an idea. B. To introduce the topic. C. To entertain the readers. D. To make the story interesting. 9 What is a key indicator of an anxious dog’s behavior? A. Wagging its tail slightly. B. Setting back its ears. C. Playing with other dogs. D. Relaxing and vocalizing. 10. What are dogs expected to do while walking according to Amy Pike? A. To sniff around. B. To listen to music. C. To focus on speed. D. To explore the world visually. 11. Where can this text come from? A. A science report. B. A personal diary. C. A cooking book. D. An animal magazine. 【答案】8. B 9. B 10. A 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了宠物主人可通过肢体语言判断宠物的情绪状态，并介绍了宠物情绪不佳时的应对方法与科学养护建议。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“It happens at least once in every pet owner’s life: You look into your animal companion’s eyes and wonder what they’re not telling you. Pets are members of our families, but they can’t speak to us to say they’re in a good mood, or their stomach hurts today or they’re feeling lonely. So how do you know what your pet is actually feeling, and what should you do if they aren’t happy?(每位宠物主人的生活中，至少都会有这样一个时刻：望着自家毛孩子的眼睛，心里好奇它们藏着什么话没说。宠物是我们的家人，可它们无法开口告诉我们，自己此刻心情愉悦，或是今天肚子不舒服，又或是感到孤单。那么，该如何读懂宠物的真实情绪？如果它们不开心了，又该怎么做呢？)”可知，作者以宠物主人常会产生的好奇宠物内心想法的经历切入，提出相关问题，目的是引出本文的主题。故选B。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“But an anxious dog may be cowering, ears set back, nose dry, with its tail down or between its legs.(但一只焦虑的狗狗，会蜷缩身体，耳朵向后贴，鼻头干涩，尾巴下垂或是夹在两腿之间。)”可知，耳朵向后贴是焦虑的狗狗会出现的行为表现，也是其行为的关键指标。故选B。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段““Exercise is great, but you definitely want to let dogs sniff. We explore our world visually, but they are all about the smells… It’s how they’re going to get information.” says Amy Pike, a veterinary behaviorist.(动物行为学兽医Amy Pike说：“运动固然有益，但一定要让狗狗尽情嗅闻。人类靠视觉探索世界，而狗狗的世界里，嗅觉才是一切……这是它们获取信息的方式。”)”可知，Amy Pike认为狗狗散步时应该四处嗅闻，这是它们获取信息的方式。故选A。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章内容，结合第一段中“So how do you know what your pet is actually feeling, and what should you do if they aren’t happy?(那么，该如何读懂宠物的真实情绪？如果它们不开心了，又该怎么做呢？)”可知，文章全文围绕宠物情绪的判断方法、宠物情绪不佳的应对措施及针对宠物养护的专业建议展开，内容均与宠物饲养、动物行为相关，是面向宠物主人的实用科普类内容可知，本文最有可能来自动物杂志。故选D。 D Is suffering good for us? Does it make us better, kinder and stronger people? Does it give meaning to our lives? It would be nice if it did. Even the luckiest experienced boredom, anxiety, and fear. Everyone has heard of post-traumatic (创伤后的) growth. As Richard Tedeschi, one of the founders of the theory, puts it, after experiencing traumatic events, “people develop new understandings of themselves, the world they live in, how to relate to other people, the kind of future they might have and a better understanding of how to live a life.” Now, there is a deep difference between the sufferings we choose and the sufferings which are unchosen and unwelcome. It is the suffering that we choose that affords the opportunity for pleasure, meaning, and personal growth. But, still, unchosen suffering can lead to change, and some have been liberated (解放) by the pandemic (疫情), choosing to leave unsatisfying work and seek out deeper and more challenging aims. Most of all, there is a powerful relationship between suffering and meaning. Individuals who say that their lives are meaningful report more anxiety and worry and struggle than those who say that their lives are happy. The countries where citizens report their lives are the most meaningful tend to be poor ones where life is relatively difficult. The jobs that people say are most meaningful, such as being a medical professional, often have something to do with dealing with other people’s pain. When asked to describe the most meaningful experiences of our lives, we tend to think about those on the extremes, very pleasant and very painful. And we often choose aims that we know will test us, everything from training for a marathon to raising children, because we know that these matter. Our suffering does not necessarily leave us some trauma, and can, for some, lead to increased reliance and kindness. And, for the lucky ones, it can be a source of meaning and purpose. 12. What can sufferings bring to people according to Richard Tedeschi? A. A pleasant life. B. An open mind. C. A healthy body. D. An economic benefit. 13. Why do some people choose the sufferings? A. They can leave their unsatisfying jobs. B. They want to compare different difficulties. C. They wish to improve the present situation. D. They are addicted to experiencing hardships. 14. What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about? A. The countries with the happiest people tend to be rich. B. The most meaningful job is to be a medical professional. C. Training for a marathon or raising children matters in life. D. There is a strong connection between suffering and meaning. 15. What is the author’s attitude toward suffering? A. Unclear. B. Dismissive. C. Doubtful. D. Supportive. 【答案】12. B 13. C 14. D 15. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇议论文。探讨了苦难对人的影响，阐述了苦难与人生意义之间的关联。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“As Richard Tedeschi, one of the founders of the theory, puts it, after experiencing traumatic events, “people develop new understandings of themselves, the world they live in, how to relate to other people, the kind of future they might have and a better understanding of how to live a life.” (该理论的创始人之一Richard Tedeschi认为，经历创伤事件后，“人们会对自己、所处的世界、如何与他人相处、可能拥有的未来以及如何更好地生活产生新的理解。”)”可知，Richard Tedeschi认为苦难能让人对自身、世界和生活产生新的理解，也就是带来更开放的心态。故选B项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“It is the suffering that we choose that affords the opportunity for pleasure, meaning, and personal growth. But, still, unchosen suffering can lead to change, and some have been liberated (解放) by the pandemic (疫情), choosing to leave unsatisfying work and seek out deeper and more challenging aims. (正是我们主动选择的苦难，为我们提供了获得愉悦、意义和个人成长的机会。但即便如此，非自愿的苦难也能带来改变，一些人在疫情中得到了解脱，选择离开不尽如人意的工作，去追求更深刻、更具挑战性的目标)”及第四段“And we often choose aims that we know will test us, everything from training for a marathon to raising children, because we know that these matter. (我们常常会选择那些我们知道会考验自己的目标，从为马拉松训练到养育孩子，因为我们知道这些事是有意义的)”可知，人们选择苦难是为了获得成长与意义，从而改善现状。故选C项。 【14题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第四段首句“Most of all, there is a powerful relationship between suffering and meaning. (最重要的是，苦难与意义之间存在着紧密的联系)”及整段内容可知，本段核心是阐述苦难与人生意义之间的紧密联系。故选D项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Our suffering does not necessarily leave us some trauma, and can, for some, lead to increased reliance and kindness. And, for the lucky ones, it can be a source of meaning and purpose. (我们经历的苦难不一定会给我们留下创伤，对一些人来说，它反而能带来更强的依赖感与善意。而对于幸运的人来说，它可以成为意义与目标的来源)”可知，作者认为苦难能带来成长、善意和人生意义，因此对苦难持支持、认可的态度。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。 Once you learn how to ride a bike, you never forget.

In recent times, cycling has seen a boost in popularity.____16____ Cycling can improve your cardiovascular (心血管的) health and help to lose weight.

Strengthening your leg muscles in your calves and thighs helps to increase your potential torque.(骑行能改善心血管健康，还能帮助减重。锻炼小腿和大腿的腿部肌肉有助于提升身体的扭转力)”以及下文“A long ride in the countryside could help you to clear your mind,or relax yourself.(在郊外长时间骑行有助于理清思绪、放松身心)”可知，此空需要起到过渡作用，从骑行的身体益处转向心理益处。E选项The benefits aren’t just physical,but mental as well.（骑行的益处不只是体现在身体上，还体现在心理上）精准衔接上下文，符合语境。故选E项。 【18题详解】 根据小标题“Cycling can be a great way to go to and get off work or get about town.(骑行是通勤或在城区出行的绝佳方式)”以及下文“However, if you drive into work,sometimes finding somewhere to park can be a nightmare, whereas finding somewhere to chain your bike up can be much simpler.(但如果开车上班，找停车位有时会变成一场噩梦，而找地方停放自行车则要简单得多)”可知，此空需要说明骑行通勤的优势。D选项By cycling,you save money on fuel or train fares.(骑行通勤能省下燃油费或火车票费用)点明骑行在经济成本上的好处，与下文的停车便利形成并列，符合语境。故选D项。 【19题详解】 根据上文“Then, on the train, there are changes at stations and other commuters speaking loudly on their phones to deal with.(而乘坐火车的话，不仅要在车站换乘，还得忍受其他乘客大声打电话的噪音)”可知，此空需要说明骑行通勤不会遇到这些问题。A选项Cyclists face neither of these issues.(骑行者则不会遇到这两种麻烦)中的“these issues”指代前文的换乘麻烦和噪音干扰，承接上文，符合语境。故选A项。 【20题详解】 根据下文“It can help you to reduce your carbon footprint. Not pumping out fumes into the atmosphere is better for the planet and your own environment.(它能帮你减少碳足迹，不会向大气中排放尾气，对地球和周边环境都更有益)”可知，此空需要点明骑行对环境的好处，作为该段小标题。C选项Cycling can also be good for the environment.(骑行对环境也大有裨益)精准概括本段核心内容，符合语境。故选C项。 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。 Debi Boies is a nurse and an animal ____21____ by nature.

Jack is 12, and he seems to have a happy family. His father is an IT engineer, and his mother is a doctor. They are busy working every day and ask Jack to do everything on his own. Therefore, Jack always stays at home alone after school. Over time, he does everything alone, no smile on his face. One sunny afternoon, Jack sat alone on the bus ride home from school. All his friends were discussing their class projects excitedly, but Jack remained silent. How could they understand his feelings when their parents would help them? His parents worked all the time. So they had no time for him. When the bus stopped, he got off the bus. He didn’t go straight home. Jack was walking through the park, disappointed. As he walked in the park, he saw an elderly man sitting alone on a bench, enjoying the sunlight. Jack walked to the man and sat on the bench with shoulders slumped (低垂). “You don’t look okay,” the old man said gently, breaking the silence, “Is there something I can do to help?” Jack looked up, surprised by the unexpected kindness. He smiled slightly and shook his head. “No, thank you, sir. I’m just thinking about something.” The old man offered a warm smile. “It’s okay to feel lost sometimes. I’m here if you need to talk.” The old man continued to speak. His name was Mr. Smith, and he had a happy family and he also had a grandson just like Jack. The old man always had a walk in the park... After hearing Mr. Smith’s story, Jack slowly explained they should do a class project for the weekend and together they would build something with an adult. The students needed to make a report to explain how their projects had gone. Mr. Smith listened quietly and said “why are you so unhappy?” Jack felt his sadness and anger rising inside him. “Because I don’t have anyone to help me.” He sounded so sad and so angry. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 The old man raised his eyebrows, “can I help you?” he asked gently. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ A week later, Jack won the prize in his class project and ran to the park with the prize. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 The old man raised his eyebrows, “Can I help you?” he asked gently. Jack froze. “You’d build a project with me, Sir?” “Sure, I would,” the old man said. Jack’s heart seemed so light that he thought it would float away. He opened the schoolbag and took out his assignment paper. Then, they studied the assignment and made a list of ideas. Finally, they decided to build a cardboard robot from old pencil box and some paper. They used glue, ruler and eraser. Mr. Smith helped a lot and he even found a box of stickers on the ground. When they finished all project and Jack looked at their robot, Jack couldn’t stop smiling. A week later, Jack won the prize in his class project and ran to the park with the prize. He knew he could see Mr. Smith in the park. As expected, he found the old man still sitting on the bench. Jack ran to the old man and presented the prize to him as soon as quickly. “Thank you for your help, sir!” Jack said excitedly, “Look, the prize that the teacher gave me.” “You are the best, boy!” Mr. Smith said gladly. A warm smile returned to Jack’s face. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了12岁的Jack因父母忙于工作常独自生活，面对需与成年人合作的班级作业满心失落，在公园偶遇Smith先生，老人热心相助与其共同完成纸板机器人作业，Jack最终斩获班级作业奖项，也重新找回笑容的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“老人挑了挑眉，温柔地问道：“我可以帮你吗？””以及第二段首句内容“一周后，Jack的这份作业在班里拿了奖，他拿着奖品一路跑到了公园。”可知，第一段可描写老人帮助Jack完成了作业。 ②由第二段首句内容“一周后，Jack的这份作业在班里拿了奖，他拿着奖品一路跑到了公园。”可知，第二段可描写Jack感谢了老人，两人都非常开心。 2.续写线索：老人提出帮忙——两人合作完成手工作业——完成后Jack非常开心——Jack得知获奖——跑去公园感谢老人——两人脸上都露出了笑容 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①研究：study/ go through carefully ②决定做：decide to do/make up one’s mind to do ③递上：present/ hand over 情绪类 ①兴奋：excitedly/with excitement ②高兴：gladly/delightedly 【点睛】【高分句型1】Jack’s heart seemed so light that he thought it would float away.（运用了so…that…引导的结果状语从句和省略that的宾语从句） 【高分句型2】When they finished all the project and Jack looked at their robot, Jack couldn’t stop smiling.（运用了when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 $ 常德市沅澧共同体2024-2025学年10月高一上学期 期中考试英语试题 时量：120分钟 满分：150分 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，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。 例：How much is the shirt?

John Nash John Nash had mental disease. He mixed the line between what is real and what isn’t. His life story was given light due to the movie A Beautiful Mind. John Nash was aware of his illness but fought against it, not letting it tear him, and developed a successful academic career. He won a Nobel Prize in Economics in 1994. Frida Kahlo During her childhood, Frida Kahlo suffered from polio (小儿麻痹症). When she became a young lady, she was also involved in an accident that worsened her problems. Throughout her entire life, she was facing serious physical issues and was in bed because of severe pain. However, she didn’t let that defeat her, and she became one of the famous artists of the 20th century. Andrea Bocelli Andrea Bocelli was partially blind but that didn’t stop him from taking piano lessons until he was 6 years old. Unfortunately, when he was 12 years old, he suffered a blow during a football game that completely blinded him. His blindness didn’t stop him from pursuing and focusing on singing. Bethany Hamilton Bethany Hamilton, at the age of 13, was a rising star surfer. However, after an attack with a 14-foot tiger shark, she, unfortunately, lost her left arm. One month after the attack, she was back on the seas and surfing to her dreams once again. After 2 years, she won her first national surfing title. She is still an active surf competitor to this day. 1. What can we know about John Nash? A He was inspired by a book. B. He suffered a lot physically. C. He made it in academic career. D.

They won some kinds of national prizes. 3. Which of the following best describes the four people? A. Shy. B. Tough. C. Helpful. D. Honest. B I spent a lot of my childhood in my grandma’s country kitchen. My grandma was a brilliant baker and the most prized possession in the kitchen was her recipe(食谱) box jammed with secret family recipes. That tiny kitchen was where my family gathered every Sunday and holiday, but it wasn’t just a place to cook. It was the place where she connected our family’s past to the present, teaching me our family history through the food she made. The kitchen is where we shared our lives with each other too. After baking, she would always cut two slices of pie, then pour a cup of coffee for herself and a glass of milk for me, and we’d sit and talk at her table. We’d mostly discuss what I was going to do when I grew up, how I was going to change the world and see places she’d never been to. My grandma was also happy to tell me what happened in her life and her dream was. I was in college when my grandma hosted her last Thanksgiving. I returned home on break and spent most of my time in the kitchen with her, baking the pies for our family. When we finished, she cut two slices and poured the coffee and milk, as always. Now every Thanksgiving, in my own kitchen, I make the treasured desserts from her recipe box, cut two slices and “tell” her about my life. 4. Which is closest in meaning to the underlined word “jammed” in paragraph 1? A. Filled. B. Covered. C. Surrounded. D. Connected. 5. Why does the author say the kitchen wasn’t just a place to cook? A. It provided shelter for him. B. He disliked the small kitchen. C. He could learn more about his family. D. It was equipped with advanced facilities. 6. What can we learn about the author’s grandma? A. She managed to run a baking shop. B. She lacked some experience in cooking. C. She seldom appeared in her own kitchen. D. She often shared everything with the author. 7. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Grandma’s Slice of Love B. Treasured Family Gathering C. Grandma’s Country Kitchen D. Unforgettable Thanksgiving C It happens at least once in every pet owner’s life: You look into your animal companion’s eyes and wonder what they’re not telling you. Pets are members of our families, but they can’t speak to us to say they’re in a good mood, or their stomach hurts today or they’re feeling lonely. So how do you know what your pet is actually feeling, and what should you do if they aren’t happy? A major signal of pet happiness lies in body language. A happy dog will likely have its ears forward, posture upright and tail wagging. A happy cat will also have its ears forward, posture relaxed and tail upright with a slight bend in it. Both dogs and cats may vocalize (发声) when happy. But an anxious dog may be cowering, ears set back, nose dry, with its tail down or between its legs. Similarly, an unhappy cat will have its ears back and away from the head, its tail down and back arched or low, and may hiss, spit or scratch. If your pet is unusually lethargic or expresses reduced interest in playing or socializing, they may be in pain or unhappy. How to help if your pet seems unhappy? Speak with your veterinarian (兽医) as soon as possible. Many pets may need medication to treat pain or anxiety, while others may need a course of training to help ease their anxious behavioral patterns. Engaging your pet’s senses can also stimulate (刺激) your pet to keep calm as they absorb the world around them. “Exercise is great, but you definitely want to let dogs sniff. We explore our world visually, but they are all about the smells… It’s how they’re going to get information.” says Amy Pike, a veterinary behaviorist. Ultimately, your pet is an individual, so no two animals will show distress or happiness the same way. Meeting your pet’s physical needs and ensuring they have various types of enrichment are the best ways to ensure reduced stress levels, which may correlate with longer life spans as they do in humans. 8. What’s the purpose of the first paragraph? A. To present an idea. B. To introduce the topic. C. To entertain the readers. D. To make the story interesting. 9.

It would be nice if it did. Even the luckiest experienced boredom, anxiety, and fear. Everyone has heard of post-traumatic (创伤后的) growth. As Richard Tedeschi, one of the founders of the theory, puts it, after experiencing traumatic events, “people develop new understandings of themselves, the world they live in, how to relate to other people, the kind of future they might have and a better understanding of how to live a life.” Now, there is a deep difference between the sufferings we choose and the sufferings which are unchosen and unwelcome. It is the suffering that we choose that affords the opportunity for pleasure, meaning, and personal growth. But, still, unchosen suffering can lead to change, and some have been liberated (解放) by the pandemic (疫情), choosing to leave unsatisfying work and seek out deeper and more challenging aims. Most of all, there is a powerful relationship between suffering and meaning. Individuals who say that their lives are meaningful report more anxiety and worry and struggle than those who say that their lives are happy. The countries where citizens report their lives are the most meaningful tend to be poor ones where life is relatively difficult. The jobs that people say are most meaningful, such as being a medical professional, often have something to do with dealing with other people’s pain. When asked to describe the most meaningful experiences of our lives, we tend to think about those on the extremes, very pleasant and very painful. And we often choose aims that we know will test us, everything from training for a marathon to raising children, because we know that these matter. Our suffering does not necessarily leave us some trauma, and can, for some, lead to increased reliance and kindness. And, for the lucky ones, it can be a source of meaning and purpose. 12. What can sufferings bring to people according to Richard Tedeschi? A. A pleasant life. B. An open mind. C. A healthy body. D. An economic benefit. 13. Why do some people choose the sufferings? A. They can leave their unsatisfying jobs. B. They want to compare different difficulties. C. They wish to improve the present situation. D. They are addicted to experiencing hardships. 14. What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about? A. The countries with the happiest people tend to be rich. B. The most meaningful job is to be a medical professional. C. Training for a marathon or raising children matters in life. D. There is a strong connection between suffering and meaning. 15. What is the author’s attitude toward suffering? A. Unclear. B. Dismissive. C. Doubtful. D. Supportive. 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。 Once you learn how to ride a bike, you never forget.

Jack is 12, and he seems to have a happy family. His father is an IT engineer, and his mother is a doctor. They are busy working every day and ask Jack to do everything on his own. Therefore, Jack always stays at home alone after school. Over time, he does everything alone, no smile on his face. One sunny afternoon, Jack sat alone on the bus ride home from school. All his friends were discussing their class projects excitedly, but Jack remained silent. How could they understand his feelings when their parents would help them? His parents worked all the time. So they had no time for him. When the bus stopped, he got off the bus. He didn’t go straight home. Jack was walking through the park, disappointed. As he walked in the park, he saw an elderly man sitting alone on a bench, enjoying the sunlight. Jack walked to the man and sat on the bench with shoulders slumped (低垂). “You don’t look okay,” the old man said gently, breaking the silence, “Is there something I can do to help?” Jack looked up, surprised by the unexpected kindness. He smiled slightly and shook his head. “No, thank you, sir. I’m just thinking about something.” The old man offered a warm smile. “It’s okay to feel lost sometimes. I’m here if you need to talk.” The old man continued to speak. His name was Mr. Smith, and he had a happy family and he also had a grandson just like Jack. The old man always had a walk in the park... After hearing Mr. Smith’s story, Jack slowly explained they should do a class project for the weekend and together they would build something with an adult. The students needed to make a report to explain how their projects had gone. Mr. Smith listened quietly and said “why are you so unhappy?” Jack felt his sadness and anger rising inside him. “Because I don’t have anyone to help me.” He sounded so sad and so angry. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 The old man raised his eyebrows, “can I help you?” he asked gently. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ A week later, Jack won the prize in his class project and ran to the park with the prize. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
