The Conscious Closet by Elizabeth L. Cline As the pressure to save the planet increases, it’s important to turn the conversation to our closet. Stockpiling endless printed books on sustainability seems somewhat unwise, but The Conscious Closet is easily the best of the lot. It exposes the true cost of fast fashion and encourages the reader to think twice about unwise purchasing, drawing deeply on Cline’s own experiences. How To Dress Secret Styling Tips From A Fashion Insider by Alexandra Fullerton Former fashion editor at Stylist magazine, Alexandra Fullerton certainly knows something about getting dressed. Illustrated beautifully, this book allows you to dip easily in and out of her easy-to-follow advice, helping you carve out a signature style, shop more effectively and even wash and store your clothes to maximize their full potential. The New Fashion Rules by Victoria Magrath One of the UK’s most successful fashion bloggers, Victoria McGrath has used her platform to demonstrate the growing value of influencer culture on fashion and new media. Her friendly, accessible tone is backed up with some serious knowledge — her PhD in fashion marketing allows her to explore how far fashion has come in recent decades, discussing many things including virtual reality shopping while offering up a brief tour of fashion’s 21st century history. Advanced Love by Ari Seth Cohen The photographic blog series that made stars of Iris Apfel and Linda Rodin, the Advanced Style brand has grown over the past decade, demonstrating that real beauty is truly ageless. His third and most recent book, Advanced Love sees Ari Seth Cohen picturing couples from all walks of life, making a statement about our dismissal of romance within the over-40 set. The perfect festive gift for your special other-half, or a treat-to-self as a constant reminder that love never goes out of style. 1.

Illustrated beautifully, this book allows you to dip easily in and out of her easy-to-follow advice, helping you carve out a signature style, shop more effectively and even wash and store your clothes to maximize their full potential.(《造型师》杂志的前时尚编辑亚历山德拉·富勒顿当然知道如何着装。这本书的插图精美，可以让你轻松地随意浏览她那些易于遵循的建议，帮助你打造出自己的标志性风格，更有效地购物，甚至可以洗涤和储存你的衣服，最大限度地发挥它们的潜力。)”可知，这本书在时尚着装，购物，洗涤和储存衣服方面给出了很好的建议，可以有效打造自我风格，所以，《How To Dress: Secret Styling Tips From A Fashion Insider》这本书适合对时尚一无所知的应届毕业生去读。故选D。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据表格第三行“The New Fashion Rules by Victoria Magrath”部分中“Her friendly, accessible tone is backed up with some serious knowledge — her PhD in fashion marketing allows her to explore how far fashion has come in recent decades, discussing many things including virtual reality shopping while offering up a brief tour of fashion’s 21st century history.(她友好、平易近人的语气背后有着一些严肃的知识——她的时尚营销博士学位让她得以探索近几十年来时尚界的发展，讨论了包括虚拟现实购物在内的许多事情，同时简要介绍了21世纪的时尚历史。)”可知，在Victoria Magrath的《The New Fashion Rules》这本书中可以了解到时尚的发展。故选C。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Whether you’re looking to learn more about sustainability or imagine yourself as a media big man at the head of a world-famous magazine, here are several books worth popping on your Good Reads list.(无论你是想了解更多关于可持续发展的知识，还是想象自己成为世界知名杂志的掌门人，以下几本书都值得你去阅读。)”并结合表格内容对这四本书的介绍可知，它们的共同之处是主题都关于时尚，故选B。 B Visual texts are great jumping-off points for discussion and reflection during literature circles. For my heroic journey literature circle, the webcomic series Zen Pencils has been particularly effective. Artist Gavin Aung Than typically takes a famous quote and develops a comic around it. By going through his personal website, I was able to find various comics relating to courage, perseverance, and kindness, which were used as key supports throughout the unit. Each week, I asked students to complete reflections based on their reading. Often I prefaced these reflections by showing a comic that got at the heart of what I would like them to analyze. For instance, I showed them an illustration about failing better prior to having them write about perseverance in their book. Or we read a comic called Fear is Paper Tigers, based on a quote by Amelia Earhart, before focusing on how our characters demonstrate courage. Or we looked at a comic about kindness, prior to discussing the difference between kindness and selflessness and how each might be present in our novels. These visual introductions set the stage for deeper reflections than a written prompt. By using these comics, I demonstrated key concepts in a way that was engaging and accessible to students. At higher levels, the comics offered opportunities for critical analysis, as they often included challenging poetry or deep ideas. As well, the illustrations presented a story that could be a foil for their own text. For example, in one of the comics, the main character overcame a small everyday challenge with humor, while in the students’ novels, the characters were facing life-or-death situations. This contrast made students more aware of the gravity and complexity of the challenges in their own reading materials. By including visual texts in my literature circle unit, students were challenged to consider their books in a new light and to think more deeply about their characters. Given this success, I fully intend to use more visual texts in other units in the future. 4. What inspires the creation of Zen Pencils? A. Well-known sayings. B. Popular comic books. C. Traditional heroic tales. D. Good-quality individuals. 5. What task follows the reading of Fear is Paper Tigers? A. Comparing kindness and selflessness. B. Writing about the true nature of bravery. C. Discussing the significance of perseverance. D. Reflecting on Amelia Earhart’s achievements. 6. What do the underlined words “a foil” in paragraph 3 mean? A. A writing guide. B. A convincing reason. C. A detailed illustration. D. A contrasting element. 7. What is the best title for the text? A. Comics: Teaching Virtues in a Better Way B. Visual Texts: Enhancing Literary Understanding C. Literature Circles: Introducing Deep Ideas to Students D. Storybooks: Increasing Student Engagement by Illustrations 【答案】4. A 5. B 6. D 7. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了在文学圈教学中引入视觉文本网络漫画《禅意铅笔》的实践，讲述其在课堂中的使用方式及对提升学生文学理解的积极作用。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Artist Gavin Aung Than typically takes a famous quote and develops a comic around it.(创作者加文·昂·丹通常会选取一句名言，并围绕其创作漫画。)”可知，众所周知的谚语是创作《禅意铅笔》的灵感来源。故选A项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Or we read a comic called Fear is Paper Tigers, based on a quote by Amelia Earhart, before focusing on how our characters demonstrate courage.(或者，我们会先阅读以阿米莉亚·埃尔哈特的一句名言为蓝本创作的漫画《恐惧是纸老虎》，之后再探讨作品中的人物是如何展现勇气的。)”可知，阅读《恐惧是纸老虎》之后的任务是探讨人物展现勇气的方式，即书写关于勇气的本质。故选B项。 【6题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段中的“For example, in one of the comics, the main character overcame a small everyday challenge with humor, while in the students’ novels, the characters were facing life-or-death situations.(例如，在其中一幅漫画中，主角以幽默的方式克服了一个日常的小挑战，而在学生们阅读的小说中，人物正面临着生死攸关的处境。)”可知，漫画中的故事和学生阅读的文本形成了对比，因此“a foil”的意思是对比的元素。故选D项。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段中的“Visual texts are great jumping-off points for discussion and reflection during literature circles.(视觉文本是文学小组开展讨论与反思的绝佳切入点。)”及全文内容可知，本文主要介绍了在文学圈教学中使用视觉文本能够让学生以新的视角看待书籍，更深入地思考人物，提升对文学的理解，所以“视觉文本：提升文学理解能力”概括了文章的主题，适合作为最佳标题。故选B项。 C Earlier this year, Alicia Meyer, a researcher at the University of Pennsylvania, tried to figure out the true ownership of a pair of leather gloves that rested in the university’s library for nearly a century. The long-forgotten mysterious gloves couldn’t have belonged to William Shakespeare. Or could they? Few relics tied to Shakespeare, who died in 1616, have survived the centuries. The writer’s signature is extremely rare, existing only in legal documents. However, that Penn may possess a Shakespearean treasure is no surprise. Its Shakespeare collections, mostly from the donations of H. H. Furness, the greatest Shakespearean scholar of his time, are world-famous. Among the Shakespearean jewels at Penn’s library is a 1611 edition of Hamlet, one of only 19 copies in the world. But nothing like the gloves. They caused a stir when Furness’ son donated them in 1931. Meyer reached out to conservation librarian Tessa Gadomski for help, who studied them with technology normally used to treat and care for rare books and papers. Examining the gloves under ultraviolet light, Gadomski searched for clues of any post-industrial materials, which would show the gloves were likely made or repaired after Shakespeare’s time. And found none. Next, she used x-ray fluorescence technology to search for signs of chromium(Cr) or titanium(Ti), commonly used in 18th- and 19th- century tanning techniques. Again, she found none. It would fit that Shakespeare would own a pair of fancy gloves. Clothes, as he once famously wrote, make the man. His plays made the money. His father was a glove maker. Plus, it was common for rich people to donate clothes, and even gloves, to theaters for costumes, Meyer said. “If he really wore them, then we feel like we’re somehow in the presence of him,” Penn professor Zachary Lesser said about the gloves. But in his heart of hearts, he feels it’s a long shot that they’ll ever truly know. He hopes the renewed attention could unearth some historical evidence that could definitively tie the gloves to the hands of perhaps the greatest writer the world has ever known. 8. Why is it not surprising that the gloves at Penn may belong to Shakespeare? A. The gloves have been kept there for years. B. Penn has a history of seeking valuable relics. C. Penn is known for owning rare Shakespearean items. D. The gloves were donated by a Shakespearean scholar. 9. What was the significance of Gadomski’s work? A. It ruled out non-Shakespearean possibilities. B. It confirmed the gloves’ link to Shakespeare. C. It secured the gloves’ long-term preservation. D. It uncovered post-industrial glove-making methods. 10. What is the function of Paragraph 4? A. To suggest another origin of the gloves. B. To conclude the findings of the research. C. To support the assumption about the gloves. D. To provide more information about Shakespeare. 11. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Where did the gloves Lead Us? B. Did Shakespeare Own These gloves? C. Shakespeare’s gloves Resurfaced at Penn D. Long-forgotten gloves Found Their Owner 【答案】8. C 9. A 10. C 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章探讨宾夕法尼亚大学图书馆手套是否为莎士比亚所有及相关研究。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“However, that Penn may possess a Shakespearean treasure is no surprise. Its Shakespeare collections, mostly from the donations of H. H. Furness, the greatest Shakespearean scholar of his time, are world-famous. Among the Shakespearean jewels at Penn’s library is a 1611 edition of Hamlet, one of only 19 copies in the world. (然而，宾夕法尼亚大学或许藏有一件莎士比亚相关珍品，这并不令人意外。该校的莎士比亚藏品举世闻名，其中大部分来自当时最伟大的莎士比亚学者H. H. Furness的捐赠。宾大图书馆的莎士比亚珍宝中，就包括1611年版的《哈姆雷特》，全球仅存19本，此为其一)”可知，宾夕法尼亚大学拥有世界闻名的莎士比亚藏品，所以这双手套可能属于莎士比亚并不令人惊讶。故选C。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“Examining the gloves under ultraviolet light, Gadomski searched for clues of any post-industrial materials, which would show the gloves were likely made or repaired after Shakespeare’s time. And found none. Next, she used x-ray fluorescence technology to search for signs of chromium(Cr) or titanium(Ti), commonly used in 18th- and 19th- century tanning techniques. Again, she found none. (Gadomski用紫外线照射手套，寻找是否存在任何后工业时代材料的线索，若有此类材料，则表明手套很可能是在莎士比亚时代之后制作或修补的。结果并未发现此类材料。接着，她采用X射线荧光技术，寻找铬（Cr）或钛（Ti）的痕迹，这两种元素在18世纪和19世纪的制革工艺中常用。同样，她也没有发现任何相关痕迹)”可知，Gadomski的研究排除了手套在莎士比亚时代之后制作或修补的可能性，即排除了非莎士比亚时代的可能性。故选A。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“It would fit that Shakespeare would own a pair of fancy gloves. Clothes, as he once famously wrote, make the man. His plays made the money. His father was a glove maker. Plus, it was common for rich people to donate clothes, and even gloves, to theaters for costumes, Meyer said. (莎士比亚拥有一双精致的手套也合乎情理。正如他曾写下的一句名言：人靠衣装。他的戏剧为他带来了财富。他的父亲是一名手套匠。此外，Meyer称，富人向剧院捐赠衣物甚至手套用作戏服，在当时是很常见的事)”可知，第四段通过引用莎士比亚关于衣着的名言、其父亲的职业以及当时富人向剧院捐赠衣物的习俗，为“手套可能属于莎士比亚”这一假设提供了背景信息和合理性支持。故选C。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，文章围绕宾夕法尼亚大学图书馆一副手套的归属展开，核心问题是探究它们是否属于莎士比亚，并描述了研究过程与相关背景，最终也未得出确凿结论，核心疑问贯穿始终，B选项“Did Shakespeare Own These gloves? (莎士比亚是否拥有这副手套？)”最能概括全文核心，最适合作为文章的标题。故选B。 D One of the nicest and most capable students I have had the pleasure of working with over the years is defending his Master’s paper tomorrow. In his research, Matt Dann explored how approach and avoidance goals relate to procrastination. Typically, we define the more positively regarded approach goals as those things we intend to do to keep or acquire a positive state of affairs. For example, your approach goal may be to “exercise a little more in 2025 to enjoy the benefits of continued good health.” Alternatively, an avoidance goal around this exercise may be to “exercise a little more in 2025 to prevent heart disease.” Although both goals are related to a little more exercise, I think you would agree that these are psychologically different. Matt’s research provided a psychological profile of avoidance goals in comparison to approach goals. The reason we thought this was an important thing to explore is simply that procrastination is often considered “task avoidance,” so it seemed to us that having more avoidance goals would be related to increased procrastination. Matt was also interested in the nature of avoidance goals that might explain why we would hypothesize that we would procrastinate more on this. What Matt’s analysis revealed was that avoidance goals, compared to approach goals, were perceived as significantly less enjoyable, and the participants felt significantly less capable of pursuing them. If we anticipate that the task won’t be enjoyable and/or we aren’t capable of carrying it out, we’re likely to phrase it as an avoidance goal. Avoidance goals in turn lead to procrastination. There are many things to learn from Matt’s study. The place to start, it would seem, to reduce our procrastination is to reshape our goals from avoidance to approach. I would conclude that reducing our procrastination requires enhancing both the meaning and manageability of the tasks in our lives. Instead of stopping with the feeling that you are not capable or the task lacks meaning, take the time to think about how you will do the task or how you can make it more enjoyable. This time will be well invested, I think. 12. What distinguishes approach and avoidance goals? A. The activities involved in them. B. The time length of working on them. C. The motivation for engaging in them. D. The difficulty level of achieving them. 13. Which is an approach goal? A. To limit screen time to stop eye problems. B. To study harder to keep from falling behind. C. To wake up early to prevent a rushed morning. D. To learn a new language to access more job offers. 14. Why are avoidance goals more likely to be procrastinated? A. They are set without clear plans. B. They demand more effort to reach. C. They are considered less manageable. D. They relate loosely with personal values. 15. What is the author’s suggestion for reducing procrastination? A. Avoid setting long-term goals. B. Rephrase tasks into urgent types. C. Live life in a more enjoyable way. D. Explore creative means to finish tasks. 【答案】12. C 13. D 14. C 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了Matt Dann关于趋近目标和回避目标与拖延关系的研究及减少拖延的建议。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Typically, we define the more positively regarded approach goals as those things we intend to do to keep or acquire a positive state of affairs. For example, your approach goal may be to “exercise a little more in 2025 to enjoy the benefits of continued good health.” Alternatively, an avoidance goal around this exercise may be to “exercise a little more in 2025 to prevent heart disease.” (通常，我们将更受认可的趋近目标定义为我们打算做以保持或获得积极状态的事情。例如，你的趋近目标可能是“在2025年多锻炼一点，以享受持续健康的好处”。或者，围绕这项锻炼的回避目标可能是“在2025年多锻炼一点，以预防心脏病”。)”可知，趋近目标和回避目标的区别在于从事它们的动机。故选C。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Typically, we define the more positively regarded approach goals as those things we intend to do to keep or acquire a positive state of affairs. For example, your approach goal may be to “exercise a little more in 2025 to enjoy the benefits of continued good health.” Alternatively, an avoidance goal around this exercise may be to “exercise a little more in 2025 to prevent heart disease.” (通常，我们将更受认可的趋近目标定义为我们打算做以保持或获得积极状态的事情。例如，你的趋近目标可能是“在2025年多锻炼一点，以享受持续健康的好处”。或者，围绕这项锻炼的回避目标可能是“在2025年多锻炼一点，以预防心脏病”。)”可知，D选项“学习一门新语言以获得更多的工作机会”是为了获取积极的就业机会，属于趋近目标；其余选项均为规避消极结果，是回避目标。故选D。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“What Matt’s analysis revealed was that avoidance goals, compared to approach goals, were perceived as significantly less enjoyable, and the participants felt significantly less capable of pursuing them. If we anticipate that the task won’t be enjoyable and/or we aren’t capable of carrying it out, we’re likely to phrase it as an avoidance goal. Avoidance goals in turn lead to procrastination.(Matt的分析显示，与趋近目标相比，回避目标被认为明显不那么令人愉快，参与者觉得自己追求这些目标的能力明显较低。如果我们预料到任务不会令人愉快，和/或我们没有能力完成它，我们很可能会将其表述为回避目标。回避目标反过来又会导致拖延。)”可知，人们认为自己难以完成回避目标，即回避目标被认为更难掌控，这是其易引发拖延的原因。故选C。 【15题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“The place to start, it would seem, to reduce our procrastination is to reshape our goals from avoidance to approach. I would conclude that reducing our procrastination requires enhancing both the meaning and manageability of the tasks in our lives. Instead of stopping with the feeling that you are not capable or the task lacks meaning, take the time to think about how you will do the task or how you can make it more enjoyable. This time will be well invested, I think.(看起来，减少拖延的起点是将我们的目标从回避重塑为趋近。我的结论是，减少拖延需要增强我们生活中任务的意义和可管理性。与其因为觉得自己没有能力或任务缺乏意义而停止，不如花点时间想想你将如何完成任务，或者如何让它更有趣。我认为，这段时间的投入是值得的。)”可知，作者对减少拖延的建议是探索完成任务的创新方法。故选D。 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Humans are now up against a series of new demanding issues that are leading dramatic change to our lifestyles: climate change, threatening infectious diseases, and increasing urbanization. ____16____ Hydroponic (水培的) farming has strong potential to relieve the threats these issues pose to our agricultural system. Growing crops in near perfect conditions using controlled environment agriculture technology is one of the biggest benefits of hydroponic farming. Crops grown indoors and hydroponically can be grown anywhere at any time of the year. ____17____ Hydroponic farming has the potential to provide fresh, local food for areas with extreme droughts and low soil quality, such as in sub-Saharan Africa. ____18____ Keeping crop production in a controlled environment enables trained scientists and advanced climate control technology to improve the inputs of water, nutrients, and light fed to the plants. For example, sensors can measure the amount and nutrient content of the water that each plant consumes. This gives farmers insight into the amount of unused water and nutrients by the plants at each stage of growth. ____19____ ____20____ For small, start-up farmers, entering into the hydroponic farming world can come with high costs associated with renting the space, loans, the renovation (翻修) of a building or space to accommodate the hydroponic structures, initial costs for materials, and costs of the labor and electricity to keep the farm up and running. While these entry costs are high, hydroponic farms have the potential to turn underused buildings into farmland to serve the community and create jobs. A. The only condition is sufficient water resources. B. Access to green vegetables is often limited there. C. The exhaustion of natural resources is also a factor. D. They are not subject to weather and soil conditions. E. It would be great if we could grow plants without water. F. Thus, they can adjust input quality and quantity for plants. G. However, these advantages do not come without challenges. 【答案】16. C 17. D 18. B 19. F 20. G 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了人类面临气候变化、资源枯竭等诸多问题，水培农业凭借不受天气土壤限制、精准调控水肥等优势可缓解农业威胁，但初创农民需应对高成本挑战，其仍有转化闲置建筑等潜力。 【16题详解】 根据前文“Humans are now up against a series of new demanding issues that are leading dramatic change to our lifestyles: climate change, threatening infectious diseases, and increasing urbanization.(人类现在面临着一系列新的严峻问题，这些问题正导致我们的生活方式发生巨大变化：气候变化、传染性疾病的威胁以及日益加剧的城市化。)”列举了人类面临的三大挑战——气候变化、传染性疾病、城市化加剧，空格需补充另一相关挑战，与前文形成“并列列举”逻辑，且为后文“Hydroponic (水培的) farming has strong potential to relieve the threats these issues pose to our agricultural system.(水培农业有很大的潜力来缓解这些问题对我们农业系统造成的威胁。)”“水培农业缓解农业系统威胁”铺垫。C项“The exhaustion of natural resources is also a factor.( 自然资源的枯竭也是一个因素。)”中“exhaustion of natural resources”是与农业相关的重要挑战，符合“威胁农业系统”的核心语境，“also a factor”承接前文“a series of new demanding issues”，使列举更完整。故选C项。 【17题详解】 根据前文“Crops grown indoors and hydroponically can be grown anywhere at any time of the year.(室内种植和水培的作物可以在一年中的任何时间在任何地方种植。)”强调水培农业的核心优势，空格需解释其“不受环境限制”的原因，承接 “anywhere at any time”的核心优势。D项“They are not subject to weather and soil conditions.(它们不受天气和土壤条件的影响。)”直接呼应“室内种植”的特点，解释了水培农业能突破地域和季节限制的关键。故选D项。 【18题详解】 根据前文“Hydroponic farming has the potential to provide fresh, local food for areas with extreme droughts and low soil quality, such as in sub-Saharan Africa.(水培农业有可能为极端干旱和土壤质量低的地区提供新鲜的当地食物，比如撒哈拉以南非洲地区。)”提到水培农业可为撒哈拉以南非洲等干旱、土壤贫瘠地区提供新鲜本地食物。B项“Access to green vegetables is often limited there.(在那里获得绿色蔬菜的途径通常有限。)”中“there”指代前文“sub-Saharan Africa”，明确该地区的食物短缺问题，承接上文内容，上下文语意连贯。故选B项。 【19题详解】 根据前文“For example, sensors can measure the amount and nutrient content of the water that each plant consumes. This gives farmers insight into the amount of unused water and nutrients by the plants at each stage of growth.(例如，传感器可以测量每种植物消耗的水量和营养成分。这使农民能够了解植物在每个生长阶段未使用的水和养分的数量。)”提到“传感器可监测植物消耗的水分和养分，了解未利用的量”，空格需体现“监测数据”的作用，形成“监测→分析→调整”的因果逻辑。F项“Thus, they can adjust input quality and quantity for plants.( 因此，他们可以调整植物的投入质量和数量。)”是监测数据的直接应用，“thus”承接前文“insight into the amount of unused water and nutrients”，说明水培农业“精准种植”的优势，符合“可控环境农业”的核心特点。故选F项。 【20题详解】 根据前文全段论述水培农业的优势（不受环境限制、精准种植、缓解资源压力），后文“For small, start-up farmers, entering into the hydroponic farming world can come with high costs associated with renting the space, loans, the renovation(翻修)of a building or space to accommodate the hydroponic structures, initial costs for materials, and costs of the labor and electricity to keep the farm up and running.(对于刚起步的小农户来说，进入水培农业的世界可能会伴随着高昂的成本，包括租用空间、贷款、装修建筑或空间以容纳水培结构、材料的初始成本、以及维持农场运转的劳动力和电力成本。)”转而提到“初创农民面临高成本”的问题，空格需起到“转折过渡”作用，引出后文的挑战。G项“However, these advantages do not come without challenges.( 然而，这些优势并非没有挑战。)”中“However”明确转折，“these advantages”指代前文提到的水培农业优势，“do not come without challenges”直接引出后文“高成本”的具体问题，符合段落结构逻辑。故选G项。 第三部分 英语知识运用(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。 I whispered to myself, “A five-day art camp at White Cliff this summer.” White Cliff was really ____21____ for an enthusiastic painter like me.

I’ve noticed that quite a few classmates seem unengaged during class. One possible reason is that the course materials are somewhat challenging, making it difficult for some to fully grasp and participate actively. Additionally, the lack of interactive activities may discourage students from voicing their opinions. To improve this, I suggest incorporating more group discussions or case studies related to Western art, which could stimulate interest and encourage participation. Also, providing some background information or simpler explanations before diving into complex topics might help. Thank you for your consideration.

Her friend Keenan was throwing a costume party, and while everyone in her class was excitedly discussing their well-crafted outfits, she remained utterly uninspired. The pressure to create something unique was overwhelming, and each passing day only deepened her despair. The next couple of days, Arizona spent every spare minute trying to come up with the perfect costume idea. One afternoon, as she sat by her window in despair, she looked out of the window and caught sight of a small yellow bird land on the branch outside. Its cheerful song seemed to cut right through her worries. In that moment, her despair vanished, replaced by a clear vision. She immediately called her best friend, Mareya, and announced, “I know what I’m going to be — a beautiful yellow bird!” Mareya, who had decided on a tiger costume, was delighted to see her friend’s enthusiasm return. Fueled by newfound excitement, Arizona devoted herself to the project. She found a piece of sparkling gold fabric for wings and a plain eye mask as a base. For hours, she worked with intense focus, carefully gluing soft yellow feathers and tiny, sparkling beads onto the mask. Each detail brought her creation to life, and she couldn’t help but smile with pride. The mask became more than a costume; it was a source of pride and the key to her confidence for the party. On the day of the party, Arizona packed her finished wings and painstakingly crafted mask into a bag with great caution. She met Mareya after class, and together they headed to Keenan’s house, their excitement growing with every step. They rushed straight to the bathroom to put on the costumes. “Now for the finishing touch,” Mareya said, taking out her face-paint kit to paint tiger whiskers (胡须) on her cheeks. 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。 That was when Arizona discovered her mask was missing. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Mareya begged her not to leave, assuring her that she had a way to help. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文 That’s when Arizona discovered her mask was missing. Panic surged through her as she searched desperately through her bag, only to find the sparkling wings staring back at her from a pile of contents. The well-crafted mask was undeniably gone. The familiar knot of anxiety tightened in her stomach again, and hot tears welled up in her eyes. All her hard work, the hours of gluing feathers and beads, the newfound confidence — all seemed to vanish in an instant. “I have to go home,” she declared to Mareya, her voice thick with defeat, convinced that a flawed costume would ruin the entire experience and make her a subject of pity. Mareya begged her not to leave, assuring her that she had a way to help. “Just give me a few minutes,” she pointed at her face-paint kit, “and you’ll be the most beautiful bird around!” Arizona hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded. With incredible skills, Mareya crafted a magnificent bird mask directly on Arizona’s skin. Arizona’s worry slowly faded as she looked in the mirror and saw a brand-new bird looking back. Together, they walked into the party, and the cheers from their classmates made Arizona realize that the true magic of Halloween lies not in flawless costumes, but in the joy of shared experiences and the creativity that emerges when things don’t go as planned. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了临近万圣节，亚利桑那因想不出独特派对装扮而焦虑，受窗外黄鸟启发决定制作黄鸟造型服饰。她精心制作翅膀和面具，却在派对当天遗失面具。好友玛瑞亚用彩绘为她打造鸟形妆容，最终她在派对收获欢呼，领悟到万圣节的真谛在于共享的欢乐与意外中的创意。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“就在那时，亚利桑那发现她的面具不见了”可知，第一段可描写亚利桑那在派对当天遗失面具，非常沮丧，告诉玛瑞亚自己要回家。 ②由第二段首句内容“玛瑞亚恳求她不要离开，还向她保证自己有办法帮她解决问题”可知，第二段可描写好友玛瑞亚用彩绘为她打造鸟形妆容，最终她在派对收获欢呼，领悟到万圣节的真谛在于共享的欢乐与意外中的创意。 2.续写线索：面具丢失——非常沮丧——告知玛瑞亚——玛瑞亚提供帮助——玛瑞亚打造妆容——亚利桑那收获欢呼——亚利桑那感悟 3.词汇激活 行类 ①发现：find/discover/detect ②消失：vanish/disappear ③看到：see/catch sight of 情绪类 ①担心：worry/concern ②快乐：joy/pleasure 【点睛】[高分句型1] “I have to go home,” she declared to Mareya, her voice thick with defeat, convinced that a flawed costume would ruin the entire experience and make her a subject of pity.（运用了that引导宾语从句） [高分句型2] Panic surged through her as she searched desperately through her bag, only to find the sparkling wings staring back at her from a pile of contents.（运用了不定式作结果状语和as引导时间状语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2025～2026学年第一学期高三教学诊断(四) 英语试卷 (时间：120分钟 满分：150分) 出卷、审卷：高三英语备课组 2025年12月 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。每段对话读两遍。 1.

B Visual texts are great jumping-off points for discussion and reflection during literature circles. For my heroic journey literature circle, the webcomic series Zen Pencils has been particularly effective. Artist Gavin Aung Than typically takes a famous quote and develops a comic around it. By going through his personal website, I was able to find various comics relating to courage, perseverance, and kindness, which were used as key supports throughout the unit. Each week, I asked students to complete reflections based on their reading. Often I prefaced these reflections by showing a comic that got at the heart of what I would like them to analyze. For instance, I showed them an illustration about failing better prior to having them write about perseverance in their book. Or we read a comic called Fear is Paper Tigers, based on a quote by Amelia Earhart, before focusing on how our characters demonstrate courage. Or we looked at a comic about kindness, prior to discussing the difference between kindness and selflessness and how each might be present in our novels. These visual introductions set the stage for deeper reflections than a written prompt. By using these comics, I demonstrated key concepts in a way that was engaging and accessible to students. At higher levels, the comics offered opportunities for critical analysis, as they often included challenging poetry or deep ideas. As well, the illustrations presented a story that could be a foil for their own text. For example, in one of the comics, the main character overcame a small everyday challenge with humor, while in the students’ novels, the characters were facing life-or-death situations. This contrast made students more aware of the gravity and complexity of the challenges in their own reading materials. By including visual texts in my literature circle unit, students were challenged to consider their books in a new light and to think more deeply about their characters. Given this success, I fully intend to use more visual texts in other units in the future. 4. What inspires the creation of Zen Pencils? A. Well-known sayings. B. Popular comic books. C Traditional heroic tales. D. Good-quality individuals. 5. What task follows the reading of Fear is Paper Tigers? A. Comparing kindness and selflessness. B. Writing about the true nature of bravery. C. Discussing the significance of perseverance. D. Reflecting on Amelia Earhart’s achievements. 6. What do the underlined words “a foil” in paragraph 3 mean? A. A writing guide. B. A convincing reason. C. A detailed illustration. D. A contrasting element. 7. What is the best title for the text? A. Comics: Teaching Virtues in a Better Way B. Visual Texts: Enhancing Literary Understanding C. Literature Circles: Introducing Deep Ideas to Students D. Storybooks: Increasing Student Engagement by Illustrations C Earlier this year, Alicia Meyer, a researcher at the University of Pennsylvania, tried to figure out the true ownership of a pair of leather gloves that rested in the university’s library for nearly a century. The long-forgotten mysterious gloves couldn’t have belonged to William Shakespeare. Or could they? Few relics tied to Shakespeare, who died in 1616, have survived the centuries. The writer’s signature is extremely rare, existing only in legal documents. However, that Penn may possess a Shakespearean treasure is no surprise. Its Shakespeare collections, mostly from the donations of H. H. Furness, the greatest Shakespearean scholar of his time, are world-famous. Among the Shakespearean jewels at Penn’s library is a 1611 edition of Hamlet, one of only 19 copies in the world. But nothing like the gloves. They caused a stir when Furness’ son donated them in 1931. Meyer reached out to conservation librarian Tessa Gadomski for help, who studied them with technology normally used to treat and care for rare books and papers. Examining the gloves under ultraviolet light, Gadomski searched for clues of any post-industrial materials, which would show the gloves were likely made or repaired after Shakespeare’s time. And found none. Next, she used x-ray fluorescence technology to search for signs of chromium(Cr) or titanium(Ti), commonly used in 18th- and 19th- century tanning techniques. Again, she found none. It would fit that Shakespeare would own a pair of fancy gloves. Clothes, as he once famously wrote, make the man. His plays made the money. His father was a glove maker. Plus, it was common for rich people to donate clothes, and even gloves, to theaters for costumes, Meyer said. “If he really wore them, then we feel like we’re somehow in the presence of him,” Penn professor Zachary Lesser said about the gloves. But in his heart of hearts, he feels it’s a long shot that they’ll ever truly know. He hopes the renewed attention could unearth some historical evidence that could definitively tie the gloves to the hands of perhaps the greatest writer the world has ever known. 8. Why is it not surprising that the gloves at Penn may belong to Shakespeare? A. The gloves have been kept there for years. B. Penn has a history of seeking valuable relics. C. Penn is known for owning rare Shakespearean items. D. The gloves were donated by a Shakespearean scholar. 9. What was the significance of Gadomski’s work? A. It ruled out non-Shakespearean possibilities. B. It confirmed the gloves’ link to Shakespeare. C. It secured the gloves’ long-term preservation. D. It uncovered post-industrial glove-making methods. 10. What is the function of Paragraph 4? A. To suggest another origin of the gloves. B. To conclude the findings of the research. C. To support the assumption about the gloves. D. To provide more information about Shakespeare. 11. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Where did the gloves Lead Us? B. Did Shakespeare Own These gloves? C. Shakespeare’s gloves Resurfaced at Penn D. Long-forgotten gloves Found Their Owner D One of the nicest and most capable students I have had the pleasure of working with over the years is defending his Master’s paper tomorrow. In his research, Matt Dann explored how approach and avoidance goals relate to procrastination. Typically, we define the more positively regarded approach goals as those things we intend to do to keep or acquire a positive state of affairs. For example, your approach goal may be to “exercise a little more in 2025 to enjoy the benefits of continued good health.” Alternatively, an avoidance goal around this exercise may be to “exercise a little more in 2025 to prevent heart disease.” Although both goals are related to a little more exercise, I think you would agree that these are psychologically different. Matt’s research provided a psychological profile of avoidance goals in comparison to approach goals. The reason we thought this was an important thing to explore is simply that procrastination is often considered “task avoidance,” so it seemed to us that having more avoidance goals would be related to increased procrastination. Matt was also interested in the nature of avoidance goals that might explain why we would hypothesize that we would procrastinate more on this. What Matt’s analysis revealed was that avoidance goals, compared to approach goals, were perceived as significantly less enjoyable, and the participants felt significantly less capable of pursuing them. If we anticipate that the task won’t be enjoyable and/or we aren’t capable of carrying it out, we’re likely to phrase it as an avoidance goal. Avoidance goals in turn lead to procrastination. There are many things to learn from Matt’s study. The place to start, it would seem, to reduce our procrastination is to reshape our goals from avoidance to approach. I would conclude that reducing our procrastination requires enhancing both the meaning and manageability of the tasks in our lives. Instead of stopping with the feeling that you are not capable or the task lacks meaning, take the time to think about how you will do the task or how you can make it more enjoyable. This time will be well invested, I think. 12. What distinguishes approach and avoidance goals? A. The activities involved in them. B. The time length of working on them. C. The motivation for engaging in them. D. The difficulty level of achieving them. 13. Which is an approach goal? A. To limit screen time to stop eye problems. B. To study harder to keep from falling behind. C. To wake up early to prevent a rushed morning. D. To learn a new language to access more job offers. 14. Why are avoidance goals more likely to be procrastinated? A. They are set without clear plans. B. They demand more effort to reach. C. They are considered less manageable. D. They relate loosely with personal values. 15. What is the author’s suggestion for reducing procrastination? A. Avoid setting long-term goals. B. Rephrase tasks into urgent types. C. Live life in a more enjoyable way. D Explore creative means to finish tasks. 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Humans are now up against a series of new demanding issues that are leading dramatic change to our lifestyles: climate change, threatening infectious diseases, and increasing urbanization. ____16____ Hydroponic (水培的) farming has strong potential to relieve the threats these issues pose to our agricultural system. Growing crops in near perfect conditions using controlled environment agriculture technology is one of the biggest benefits of hydroponic farming. Crops grown indoors and hydroponically can be grown anywhere at any time of the year. ____17____ Hydroponic farming has the potential to provide fresh, local food for areas with extreme droughts and low soil quality, such as in sub-Saharan Africa. ____18____ Keeping crop production in a controlled environment enables trained scientists and advanced climate control technology to improve the inputs of water, nutrients, and light fed to the plants. For example, sensors can measure the amount and nutrient content of the water that each plant consumes. This gives farmers insight into the amount of unused water and nutrients by the plants at each stage of growth. ____19____ ____20____ For small, start-up farmers, entering into the hydroponic farming world can come with high costs associated with renting the space, loans, the renovation (翻修) of a building or space to accommodate the hydroponic structures, initial costs for materials, and costs of the labor and electricity to keep the farm up and running. While these entry costs are high, hydroponic farms have the potential to turn underused buildings into farmland to serve the community and create jobs. A. The only condition is sufficient water resources. B. Access to green vegetables is often limited there. C. The exhaustion of natural resources is also a factor. D. They are not subject to weather and soil conditions. E. It would be great if we could grow plants without water. F. Thus, they can adjust input quality and quantity for plants. G. However, these advantages do not come without challenges. 第三部分 英语知识运用(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。 I whispered to myself, “A five-day art camp at White Cliff this summer.” White Cliff was really ____21____ for an enthusiastic painter like me.

Her friend Keenan was throwing a costume party, and while everyone in her class was excitedly discussing their well-crafted outfits, she remained utterly uninspired. The pressure to create something unique was overwhelming, and each passing day only deepened her despair. The next couple of days Arizona spent every spare minute trying to come up with the perfect costume idea. One afternoon, as she sat by her window in despair, she looked out of the window and caught sight of a small yellow bird land on the branch outside. Its cheerful song seemed to cut right through her worries. In that moment, her despair vanished, replaced by a clear vision. She immediately called her best friend, Mareya, and announced, “I know what I’m going to be — a beautiful yellow bird!” Mareya, who had decided on a tiger costume, was delighted to see her friend’s enthusiasm return. Fueled by newfound excitement, Arizona devoted herself to the project. She found a piece of sparkling gold fabric for wings and a plain eye mask as a base. For hours, she worked with intense focus, carefully gluing soft yellow feathers and tiny, sparkling beads onto the mask. Each detail brought her creation to life, and she couldn’t help but smile with pride. The mask became more than a costume; it was a source of pride and the key to her confidence for the party. On the day of the party, Arizona packed her finished wings and painstakingly crafted mask into a bag with great caution. She met Mareya after class, and together they headed to Keenan’s house, their excitement growing with every step. They rushed straight to the bathroom to put on the costumes. “Now for the finishing touch,” Mareya said, taking out her face-paint kit to paint tiger whiskers (胡须) on her cheeks. 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。 That was when Arizona discovered her mask was missing. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Mareya begged her not to leave, assuring her that she had a way to help. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
