Where can we probably find this passage? A. In a geography textbook. B. In a vacation brochure. C. On a school’s official website. D. In a science magazine. B A study published in Ageing, Neuropsychology and Cognition by researchers at the University of Birmingham found that monolingual (单语的) seniors who completed a six-month exercise programme were quicker at completing language processing tests compared to a control group — but bilinguals didn’t show similar improvement. In the study, participants who followed a six-month home-based exercise programme were asked to complete a mix of workout plans each week. Following the experiment, the exercise groups for both monolingual and bilingual participants greatly improved their fitness levels. They were tested before and after the exercise programme on their ability to recognize target words in a spoken sentence. The monolingual participants who followed the exercise programme were 7% faster at detecting the correct words after their fitness increased, while the bilingual participants showed very few language gains. Dr Segart, an author of the study, said: “This is the first study we know of that establishes a causal link between improving fitness and language processing, particularly with older adults. Language processing is an important and interesting area of study, as the ability to communicate plays a key role in everyone’s daily life. The results from the monolingual group provide strong evidence that increasing fitness correlates with better cognition (认知), highlighting the importance of regular exercise for healthy ageing.” “Among bilingual participants in the study, despite seeing increases in the fitness levels within the exercise group, there was no relationship with improved scores in the language processing tests and the results were very similar to those of the control group. The finding might be explained by the lifetime patination (积淀) produced in their neural pathways thanks to the lifelong use of several languages — that is, a cognitive reserve that has already offset age-related loss. Older adults who are bilingual may enhance cognitive reserve, thus reducing the additional benefits gained from exercise,” he added. While the study establishes a clear link between physical fitness and language processing, follow-up research is needed to explore the broader benefits of physical activity for cognitive development. Also, further research will focus on the lasting influence of exercise on cognitive health among other age groups, which may provide much better solutions to age-related language loss. 29. What happened after the participants followed an exercise programme? A. The monolinguals could identify certain words faster. B. Both groups made great progress in language learning. C. The bilinguals improved their speaking ability gradually. D. The participants were quicker at finishing cognitive tests. 30. What does Paragraph 3 intend to tell us? A. The value of the research. B. The key role of communication. C. The effect of language processing. D. The area covered by the experiment. 31. What does the underlined word “offset” probably mean in Paragraph 4? A. Resulted in. B. Taken off. C. Taken control of. D. Balanced out. 32. What will the further research most likely focus on? A. Measures to calm fear of age-related language loss. B. The effect of exercise on teenagers’ test-taking skills. C. Additional advantages of exercise for cognitive growth. D. The connection between exercise and language cognition. C I’ve been a psychology professor since 2012. In the past six years, I’ve seen students of all ages procrastinate (拖延) on papers, avoid presentation days, miss schoolwork, and let due dates fly by. I don’t think laziness was ever at fault. Ever. I’m a social psychologist, so I’m interested in the situational factors that drive human behaviour. When you’re seeking to predict or explain a person’s actions, looking at the social expectations, and the person’s context — their day-to-day reality, their problems and hard times — is usually safe. Situational limits typically predict behaviour far better than personality, intelligence, or other personal qualities. So, when it comes to behavioral “laziness”, I’m moved to ask: what are the blocks to action that I can’t see? There are always blocks. Recognizing those blocks and viewing them as reasonable — is often the first step to breaking “lazy” behaviour patterns (模式). It’s really helpful to respond to a person’s ineffective behaviour with curiosity rather than judgment. If a person’s behaviour doesn’t make sense to you, it is because you are missing a part of their context. Let’s look at a sign of academic “laziness” that I believe is anything but procrastination. People think procrastinators cause their own problems. Putting off work sure looks lazy. Even the people who are actively doing the procrastinating can mistake their behaviour for laziness. You’re supposed to be doing something, and you’re not doing it. That means you’re weak-willed, not motivated, and lazy, doesn’t it? For decades, psychological research has been able to explain procrastination as a functioning problem, not a result of laziness. When a person fails to begin a project that they care about, it’s typically due to either anxiety about their efforts not being “good enough” or confusion about what the first steps of the task are. Not laziness. In fact, procrastination is more likely when the task is meaningful and the individual cares about doing it well. When you’re paralyzed with fear of failure, or you don’t even know how to begin a massive, challenging task, it’s extremely hard to get it done. It has nothing to do with desire or motivation. The solution, instead, is to look for what is holding the procrastinator back. If anxiety is the major block, the procrastinator actually needs to take part in a relaxing activity. Being judged “lazy” by other people is likely to lead to the exact opposite behaviour. People do not choose to fail or disappoint. No one wants to feel incapable or ineffective. There is always an explanation. There are always blocks. Just because you can’t see them, or don’t view them as reasonable, doesn’t mean they’re not. Look harder. 33. According to the author, what affects people’s behaviour the most? A. Mental blocks. B. Limited experience. C Personal qualities. D. Contextual factors. 34. Some people can’t begin a project they care about because they ________. A. question its meaning B. are not strong-willed C. fear they can’t meet expectations D. are confused about how to finish it 35. What does “the exact opposite behaviour” in Paragraph 9 most probably refer to? A. Talking to an advisor. B. Avoiding taking action. C. Quitting responsibilities halfway. D. Looking into the causes of laziness. 36. What does the author mainly do in this passage? A. Start a debate. B. Question a belief. C. Explain a situation. D. Introduce a method. 第二节(共5小题;每小题2分，共10分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 We live in a culture addicted to winning. The spotlight shines brightest on the people who reach the finish line first, while those who come close slip into the shadows. ____37____ The inventor who had the right idea at the wrong time. The poet whose words only mattered long after they were gone. They seldom make headlines, but their efforts change the world in ways we only notice later. The truth is that the “almosts” aren’t failures. Sometimes they push society forward more than the celebrated victims. Nikola Tesla is remembered today as a genius (天才), but during his lifetime, he was largely overshadowed by Thomas Edison. Emily Dickinson’s case is quieter but no less surprising. ____38____ Only later would her simple yet powerful words change American poetry. Or take Katherine Johnson, whose math made spaceflight possible though her work went unmentioned for decades. ____39____ When we honor the “almosts”, we change what success means beyond headlines. Winning becomes about the courage to try, fall, and continue. ____40____ Or the small business that fails, only for its owners to learn and build something more resilient (坚韧的). Even in art, those uncelebrated in their time often touch souls for future generations. The beauty of the “almost” is that it reminds us success is about daring to set out first. There’s something deeply human about the “almosts”. They remind us effort is valuable even without recognition. ____41____ Their stories belong to all of us because most of us are “almosts” in some part of our lives. Few take first place. Yet we matter. A. The truth lies in history. B. But what about the “almosts”? C. That struggle itself has meaning. D. Her “almost” wasn’t a failure at that time. E. Think of the silver runner who returns stronger, inspired by that close loss. F. These stories remind us not getting recognition doesn’t mean making no difference. G. Nearly all her poems sat in a drawer while she lived, considered strange or unfinished. 第三部分：书面表达(共两节，32分) 第一节(共4小题;第48、49题各2分，第50题3分，第51题5分，共12分) 阅读下面短文，根据题目要求用英文回答问题。请在答题卡指定区域作答。 What if you quit your job, grabbed a camera, and hit the road with one simple question for every stranger you met. “Are you happy?” Five years ago, filmmaker Eric did exactly that. The question surprised most people, but the answers he received were honest. For one woman, pure joy was her child. Another man credited his happiness to simple things: “food, fresh air, good weather.” Eric posted the interviews online, and they quickly went viral, reaching 15 million people a month. Yet as his platform grew, he realized he was uncovering something deeper than fame or success. Happiness, he discovered, isn’t a product of what happens to us. The most powerful proof came from a man with Stage 4 cancer. He was truly happy just to be alive to watch his son skateboard — an everyday moment he never thought he would live to see. That’s when it clicked for Eric. He saw the dividing line between the happy and the unhappy wasn’t wealth, success, or perfect health. It was something simpler, yet more powerful: an appreciation for small things. “I think the difference,” Eric reflected, “is being able to say, ‘This sandwich is really making me happy.’” He has come to believe that happiness is often a choice and a skill you can practice. When you concentrate on finding the good in things, you start to change the chemistry in your brain to turn unexpected changes in your life into positives. Over time, this way of thinking becomes a natural part of who you are. So, when people ask Eric if he’s happy, he smiles. “Yeah,” he says. “Because I’ve got my family. I think people take that for granted. But if you have that, you really are in the top one percent of the happiest people in the world.” 42. How did most people feel about Eric’s question? _______________________________________________________________________ 43. What is the dividing line between the happy and the unhappy? _______________________________________________________________________ 44. Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why. When you focus on finding the good, your life will change unexpectedly. _______________________________________________________________________ 45. If Eric asked you “Are you happy?” right now what would you say? Why? (In about 40 words) _______________________________________________________________________ 第二节(20分) 46. 假如你是红星中学高一年级学生李华，你的英国好友Jim对中国文化遗产非常感兴趣，他计划来中国实地体验。请你给他写封邮件，内容包括： 1.建议；2.理由。 注意：1.词数100左右； 2.开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数。 Dear Jim, __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours, Li Hua 2025—2026学年第一学期期末样卷 高一英语 2026.1 本试卷共8页，共100分。考试时长90分钟。考生务必将答案答在答题卡上，在试卷上作答无效。考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 第一部分：知识运用(共三节，36分) 第一节(共10小题;每小题1.5分，共15分) 阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 【1~10题答案】 【答案】1.

Since you are into history, my top suggestion is the Terracotta Army in Xi’an. It is a treasure of ancient Chinese history. Seeing thousands of life-sized statues standing there is an amazing experience — it feels like traveling back 2,000 years! I also recommend that you should climb Mount Tai in Shandong Province. It is not just a natural wonder but also a symbol of traditional Chinese culture and strength. If you make it to the top for the sunrise the view is just breathtaking. Both sites will help you truly understand the origin of Chinese culture. I am sure you will have an unforgettable trip! Yours, Li Hua 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
