Aurora This historic village located on the eastern shore of Cayuga Lake was originally inhabited by the Cayuga people. European-American settlement began in 1789, and by 1837, Aurora was incorporated as a village. It became a centre for canal traffic following the opening of the Cayuga-Seneca Canal, which facilitated the transport of wool, grain, fruit, and pigs to broader markets. Cooperstown Founded in 1786 by Judge William Cooper, this town was named in Cooper’s honor. His son, James Fenimore Cooper, a renowned novelist, immortalized the area in his The Leatherstocking Tales, referring to Otsego Lake as the “Glimmerglass”. Cooperstown is perhaps best known as the home of the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum, established in 1939. This institution celebrates the history of baseball and honors its greatest players, making the village a favourite site for fans of America’s pastime. Skaneateles The name “Skaneateles” derives from the Iroquois term for “long lake”, which reflects the indigenous roots of this small town. European-American settlement began in the late 18th century, and the village was officially incorporated in 1833. Skaneateles is known for its well- preserved 19th-century architecture, with many buildings dating back to the 1830s. The downtown Historic District, established in 1985, showcases these architectural treasures. Seneca Falls This town is often recognized as the birthplace of the Women’s Rights movement in America. In July 1848, it hosted the first Women’s Rights Convention at the Wesleyan Chapel, where activists like Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Lucretia Mott presented the Declaration of Sentiments, advocating for women’s equality. You can visit the Women’s Rights National Historical Park, which includes the Wesleyan Chapel and the homes of key figures such as Elizabeth Cady Stanton. 1. What contributed to Aurora’s being a traffic center? A. The need of markets. B. The opening of a canal. C. The location of the village. D. The settlement of Americans. 2. What is Cooperstown largely known for? A. A famous baseball museum. B. A yearly “Glimmerglass” event. C. A large collection of James Fenimore Cooper’s novels. D. The birthplace of James Fenimore Cooper. 3. Which of the following may appeal most to architects? A. Aurora. B. Cooperstown. C. Skaneateles. D. Seneca Falls. 【答案】1. B 2. A 3. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。本文简单介绍了纽约州北部地区四个具有历史意义的小镇。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章Aurora部分中“It became a centre for canal traffic following the opening of the Cayuga-Seneca Canal, which facilitated the transport of wool, grain, fruit, and pigs to broader markets. (在Cayuga-Seneca运河开通后，它成为了一个运河交通中心，促进了羊毛、粮食、水果和猪肉向更广阔市场的运输)”可知，Aurora成为交通中心是因为一条运河的开通。故选B项。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章Cooperstown部分中“Cooperstown is perhaps best known as the home of the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum, established in 1939.(库伯斯敦可能最以其为1939年建立的国家棒球名人堂和博物馆的所在地而闻名)”可知，库伯斯敦因其著名的棒球博物馆而闻名。故选A项。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章Skaneateles部分中“Skaneateles is known for its well-preserved 19th-century architecture, with many buildings dating back to the 1830s.(斯凯内特尔斯以其保存完好的19世纪建筑而闻名，许多建筑可以追溯到19世纪30年代)”和最后一句“The downtown Historic District, established in 1985, showcases these architectural treasures.(1985年成立的历史中心展示了这些建筑瑰宝)”可知，斯凯内特尔斯因其保存完好的19世纪建筑而可能对建筑师最有吸引力。故选C项。 B Contrary to the commonly-held view, the brain does not have the ability to rewire itself to make up for the loss of sight, or a stroke, for example, say scientists from the University of Cambridge and Johns Hopkins University. Writing in eLife, Professors Tamar Makin (Cambridge)and John Krakauer (Johns Hopkins) argue that the belief that the brain, in response to injury or deficit, can reorganise itself and repurpose particular regions for new functions, is fundamentally incorrect-despite being commonly cited in scientific textbooks. Instead, they argue that what is occurring is merely the brain being trained to use already existing but possible abilities. In their article, Makin and Krakauer look at ten pioneering studies that aim to show the brain’s ability to reorganise. They argue, however, that while the studies do indeed show the brain’s ability to adapt to change, it is not creating new functions in previously unrelated areas—instead it’s using possible capacities that have been present since birth. Examining other studies, Makin and Krakauer found no convincing evidence that the visual cortex (大脑皮层) of individuals that were born blind or the uninjured cortex of stroke survivors ever developed a novel functional ability that did not otherwise exist. Understanding the true nature and limits of brain plasticity (可塑性) is crucial, both for setting realistic expectations for patients and for guiding clinical practitioners (从业人员) in their reconstructive approaches, they argue. Makin added: “This learning process is a proof of the brain’s remarkable—but limited—capacity for plasticity. There are no shortcuts or fast tracks in this journey. The idea of quickly unlocking hidden brain potentials or tapping into vast unused reserves is more wishful thinking than reality. It’s a slow, gradual journey, demanding persistent effort and practice. Recognising this helps us appreciate the hard work behind every story of recovery and adapt our strategies accordingly.” “So many times, the brain’s ability to rewire has been described as ‘miraculous’—but we’re scientists, we don’t believe in magic. These amazing behaviours that we see are rooted in hard work, repetition and training, not the magical reassignment of the brain’s resources.” They said. 4. What is a common misunderstanding of the brain’s function? A. The brain can be trained. B. The brain can compensate-blindness. C. The brain can rewire itself. D. The brain can react to sudden diseases. 5. Why are the related studies mentioned in the text? A. To tell the limits of brain plasticity. B. To analyze the structure of the brain. C. To find productive research methods. D. To explore the new functions of the brain. 6. What is Paragraph 5 mainly about? A. The realistic expectations for patients. B. Supporting evidence for the research results. C. Further explanations of the medical strategies. D. The medical significance of the new finding. 7. What will Makin and Krakauer suggest people do? A. Make the impossible possible. B. Reassign the brain’s resources flexibly. C. Try to develop the brain’s possible ability. D. Use the magic to accomplish difficult tasks. 【答案】4. C 5. A 6. D 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了Tamar Makin和John Krakauer教授关于大脑功能的新发现，他们反驳了大脑资源能重新分配的大众观点，提出大脑的潜在功能是现存的和有限的，需要对其进行训练功能才可开发。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Contrary to the commonly-held view, the brain does not have the ability to rewire itself to make up for the loss of sight, or a stroke, for example, say scientists from the University of Cambridge and Johns Hopkins University.(剑桥大学(和约翰霍普金斯大学的科学家表示，与人们普遍持有的观点相反，大脑没有能力自我修复，以弥补视力丧失或中风等损失)”可知，关于大脑功能一个普遍的误解是大脑可以重塑。故选C。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“They argue, however, that while the studies do indeed show the brain’s ability to adapt to change, it is not creating new functions in previously unrelated areas—instead it’s using possible capacities that have been present since birth.(然而，他们认为，虽然这些研究确实显示了大脑适应变化的能力，但它并没有在以前不相关的领域创造新的功能——相反，它使用了自出生以来就存在的可能的能力)”和第四段“Examining other studies, Makin and Krakauer found no convincing evidence that the visual cortex(大脑皮层)of individuals that were born blind or the uninjured cortex of stroke survivors ever developed a novel functional ability that did not otherwise exist.(通过对其他研究的分析，Makin和Krakauer发现，没有令人信服的证据表明，天生失明的人的视觉皮层或中风幸存者的未受伤的皮层曾经发展出一种原本不存在的新功能)”可知，大脑的可塑性是有限的；以及第五段第一句“Understanding the true nature and limits of brain plasticity (可塑性) is crucial, both for setting realistic expectations for patients and for guiding clinical practitioners (从业人员) in their reconstructive approaches, they argue.(他们认为，了解大脑可塑性的真实本质和局限性是至关重要的，这既可以为患者设定切合实际的期望，也可以指导临床医生采取重建方法)”可推知，文中提到的研究旨在说明大脑的可塑性是有限的。故选A。 【6题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第五段“Understanding the true nature and limits of brain plasticity (可塑性) is crucial, both for setting realistic expectations for patients and for guiding clinical practitioners (从业人员) in their reconstructive approaches, they argue. Makin added: “This learning process is a proof of the brain’s remarkable—but limited—capacity for plasticity. There are no shortcuts or fast tracks in this journey. The idea of quickly unlocking hidden brain potentials or tapping into vast unused reserves is more wishful thinking than reality. It’s a slow, gradual journey, demanding persistent effort and practice. Recognising this helps us appreciate the hard work behind every story of recovery and adapt our strategies accordingly.”(他们认为，了解大脑可塑性的真实本质和局限性是至关重要的，这既可以为患者设定切合实际的期望，也可以指导临床医生采取重建方法。Makin补充说:“这一学习过程证明了大脑具有非凡但有限的可塑性。在这段旅程中没有捷径或快车道。快速释放隐藏的大脑潜力或开发大量未使用的储备的想法更像是一厢情愿的想法，而不是现实。这是一个缓慢而渐进的过程，需要坚持不懈的努力和练习。认识到这一点有助于我们认识到每个复苏故事背后的辛勤工作，并相应地调整我们的策略。”)” 可知，本段主要谈论新发现在医疗行业中的现实意义。故选D。 【7题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段 ““So many times, the brain’s ability to rewire has been described as ‘miraculous’—but we’re scientists, we don’t believe in magic. These amazing behaviours that we see are rooted in hard work, repetition and training, not the magical reassignment of the brain’s resources.” They said.(“很多时候，大脑重新布线的能力被描述为‘奇迹’——但我们是科学家，我们不相信魔法。我们看到的这些惊人的行为根植于努力工作、重复和训练，而不是大脑资源的神奇重新分配。”他们说)”可知，Tamar Makin和John Krakauer不相信魔力，认为要用努力去开发大脑潜在的功能。故选C。 C Researchers at the University of Maryland have developed batteries that use a product found in crustacean (甲壳纲动物) shells to store energy. The new batteries are more eco-friendly, energy efficient and affordable compared to traditional ones. The scientists are now pushing to have the product adopted in the commercial production of batteries. They say that using this product is necessary owing to the increased move towards electric cars and green energy at large. The world is rapidly changing towards green energy and batteries are at the center of this move, so it is necessary to make batteries eco-friendly. “We think both biodegradability (生物降解性) of material and the performance of the batteries are important for a product, which has the potential to be commercialized,” said Liangbing Hu, the lead author of the study. According to the study published in Matter, traditional batteries could be quite harmful to the environment. For instance, products such as lithium (锂)used in batteries can stay in the environment for hundreds or thousands of years. Crustaceans such as shrimp, lobsters and crabs have hard skeletons whose cells contain a substance making the shells hard and resistant. Interestingly, this substance is available widely in nature and is often thrown away as waste in food industries. Scientists believe that the product could be used to improve the performance of batteries. The researchers were able to come up with a cheaper and more renewable battery which is 99.7% energy efficient even after 1000 battery cycles. That is about 400 hours. Further, they found that the batteries can break down in soil in five months. The leftover zinc, a common metal, can be recovered for continuous recycling. “The design of new batteries that are respectful of the environment, cheap and producing high discharge capacity, is one of the more important items that must be developed in the coming years,” said Antonio Romero, professor of material sciences at the University of Cartagena in Spain. 8. Why are researchers developing the new batteries? A. To employ a product as storage. B. To replace the traditional batteries. C. To address needs of clean energy. D. To use waste from food industries. 9. What is an advantage of employing the substance from crustaceans? A. It costs less than lithium. B. It reduces food waste. C. It makes batteries harder. D. It is naturally plentiful. 10 How does the author describe the new batteries in paragraph 5? A. By quoting experts. B. By providing statistics. C. By giving examples. D. By making comparisons. 11. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Lithium Batteries:A Threat to Environment B. Crustacean Shells Powering Future Batteries C. Food Waste:A New Source of Green Energy D. Zinc Recovery Supporting Battery Development 【答案】8. C 9. D 10. B 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍马里兰大学研究人员利用甲壳纲动物外壳中的物质研发新型电池，及其在环保、能效等方面的优势和应用前景。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“They say that using this product is necessary owing to the increased move towards electric cars and green energy at large.(他们表示，由于电动汽车和绿色能源的整体发展趋势日益明显，使用这种产品是必要的)”以及第二段中的“The world is rapidly changing towards green energy and batteries are at the center of this move, so it is necessary to make batteries eco-friendly.(世界正迅速向绿色能源转型，电池是这一转型的核心，因此有必要制造环保电池)”可知，研究人员研发新型电池是为了满足清洁能源发展的需求。故选C项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Interestingly, this substance is available widely in nature and is often thrown away as waste in food industries.(有趣的是，这种物质在自然界中广泛存在，在食品工业中常作为废弃物被丢弃)”可知，使用来自甲壳纲动物的这种物质的一个优势是它在自然界中储量丰富。故选D项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段中的“The researchers were able to come up with a cheaper and more renewable battery which is 99.7% energy efficient even after 1000 battery cycles. That is about 400 hours. Further, they found that the batteries can break down in soil in five months.(研究人员研发出了一种更便宜、更可再生的电池，即使经过1000次充放电循环，能效仍达99.7%，约合400小时。此外，他们发现这种电池能在土壤中五个月内降解)”可知，作者通过列举数据来描述新型电池。故选B项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，并结合第一段“Researchers at the University of Maryland have developed batteries that use a product found in crustacean (甲壳纲动物) shells to store energy. The new batteries are more eco-friendly, energy efficient and affordable compared to traditional ones. The scientists are now pushing to have the product adopted in the commercial production of batteries. They say that using this product is necessary owing to the increased move towards electric cars and green energy at large.(马里兰大学的研究人员研发出了一种新型电池，该电池利用从甲壳纲动物外壳中提取的一种物质来储存能量。与传统电池相比，这种新型电池更环保、能效更高，且价格更亲民。目前，科学家们正推动将这种物质应用于电池的商业化生产中。他们表示，鉴于电动汽车和绿色能源的发展趋势在全球范围内不断加强，使用这种物质已成为必然之举)”可知，文章核心围绕研究人员利用甲壳纲动物外壳中的物质研发新型环保电池展开，介绍了该物质的特点、新型电池的优势及前景。B项“甲壳纲动物外壳为未来电池提供动力”精准概括主旨，可以用作本文标题。故选B项。 D Recent research is challenging a long-standing belief: the idea that people are strictly “left-brained” or “right-brained” is far less fixed than we once assumed. This shift invites us to rethink how we understand brain function and personality. Conventional wisdom has long split people into two distinct “brain types.” Those labeled “right-brained” are said to be creative and likely to describe the world in subjective terms. In contrast, “left-brained” individuals are thought to be analytical, focused on details and guided by logic. Despite all its popularity, this two-sided view of the brain may be incorrect. To be clear, some brain functions are more concentrated on one side. We’ve learned this in part from studying stroke (中风) patients: when a specific brain region is damaged, certain abilities disappear. Damage to the front of the brain can reduce motivation and weaken creativity, while harm to the back may cause partial or complete blindness. These examples confirm that location matters for specific brain functions — but not for personality qualities. When it comes to individual qualities like creativity or logical thinking, there’s little or no evidence tying them to one brain hemisphere (半球). Even advanced scans of mathematicians’ and artists’ brains reveal no consistent structural differences. A 2023 University of Utah study added weight to this: researchers analyzed brain scans of over 1,000 young people, dividing the brain into 7,000 regions to check for “sidedness” linked to personality. The study concluded the left-brained or right-brained idea is more a figure of speech than an accurate anatomical (解剖学) description. Researchers still study “brain laterality” (which sides dominate functions like language or facial recognition), but not personality. If you’ve always seen yourself as a “numbers person” or a “creative type,” this research doesn’t change that — those strengths are still valid. But it does correct a common misconception: your personalities aren’t tied to one side of your brain. We still have much to learn about what shapes personality, but one-sided brain dominance almost certainly isn’t the key. 12. Which occupation probably suits “right-brained” people, based on conventional opinions? A. Hairdresser. B. Librarian. C. Mathematician. D. Typist. 13. Why does the author mention stroke patients? A. To prove one side of the brain operates specially. B. To show different brain regions vary in functions. C. To demonstrate brain damage changes personality. D. To argue the two-sided view of the brain is wrong. 14. What is the author’s attitude to the 2023 study? A. Favorable. B. Skeptical. C. Objective. D. Dissatisfied. 15. What is the main purpose of the passage? A. To clarify a widespread belief. B. To introduce a groundbreaking study. C. To confirm a long-standing assumption. D. To correct a widely held misconception. 【答案】12. A 13. B 14. A 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了新的研究挑战了长期以来关于人们是严格的“左脑型”或“右脑型”的观念，指出这种观念可能并不准确。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“Those labeled “right-brained” are said to be creative and likely to describe the world in subjective terms.(那些被贴上“右脑型”标签的人被认为是有创造力的，并且倾向于用主观的术语来描述世界。)”可知，右脑型人富有创造力，理发师的工作需要创意构思发型，符合这一特点。故选A。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“To be clear, some brain functions are more concentrated on one side. We’ve learned this in part from studying stroke (中风) patients: when a specific brain region is damaged, certain abilities disappear. Damage to the front of the brain can reduce motivation and weaken creativity, while harm to the back may cause partial or complete blindness. These examples confirm that location matters for specific brain functions — but not for personality qualities.(需要明确的是，某些大脑功能的确更多集中在单侧半球。我们在一定程度上是通过研究中风患者得出这一结论的：当大脑的某个特定区域受损时，相应的某些能力就会随之丧失。大脑前部受损会降低人的行动力并削弱创造力，而大脑后部受损则可能导致部分或完全失明。这些案例证实，大脑区域的位置对特定功能起着关键作用 —— 但这与人格特质并无关联。)”可知，作者提及中风患者是为了说明不同的大脑区域具有不同的功能。故选 B。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“A 2023 University of Utah study added weight to this: researchers analyzed brain scans of over 1,000 young people, dividing the brain into 7,000 regions to check for “sidedness” linked to personality.(犹他大学2023年的一项研究为此提供了有力佐证：研究人员分析了1000多名年轻人的脑部扫描图像，将大脑划分为7000个区域，以探究与人格相关的“大脑偏侧性”。)”可知，作者认为2023年的研究为此提供有力支持，表明作者对这项研究的观点是赞同的。故选A。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是根据第一段中“Recent research is challenging a long-standing belief: the idea that people are strictly “left-brained” or “right-brained” is far less fixed than we once assumed. This shift invites us to rethink how we understand brain function and personality.(最近的研究正在挑战一个长期以来的信念：人们严格是“左脑型”或“右脑型”的想法远没有我们曾经认为的那么固定。这种转变促使我们重新思考如何理解大脑功能和个性。)”以及最后一段中“But it does correct a common misconception: your personalities aren’t tied to one side of your brain.(但它确实纠正了一个常见的误解：你的个性并不与大脑的一侧相连。)”可知，文章的主要目的是纠正一个广泛存在的误解，即人们的个性与大脑的一侧有关。故选D。 三、阅读七选五：本大题共5小题，共12.5分。 Gratitude is a positive emotion that recognizes the good that others have brought to our lives, and is important both for our interpersonal relationships and physical well-being. ____16____. A pioneering meta-analysis spanning 15 countries confirmed a significant inverse correlation-higher gratitude correlates with lower loneliness-highlighting gratitude’s potential to ease the global loneliness epidemic. Psychologist James Hittner notes loneliness results from unmet social relationship expectations, a psychological gap that often leads to emotional isolation and depression if left unaddressed. Hittner and Calvin Widholm analyzed 26 studies involving over 10,000 participants across diverse age groups and cultural backgrounds, finding a moderate inverse relationship between gratitude and loneliness. Those scoring above average in gratitude had a 62.4% chance of below-average loneliness, a statistic that held consistent even after controlling for factors like socioeconomic status. Neuroscientist Glenn Fox, who published the first direct study of gratitude in the brain in 2015, was not shocked by the result. ____17____. The research found gratitude boosts medial prefrontal cortex activity, a region tied to social bonding and the experience of joy, which further explains the emotional and neurological link between gratitude and reduced social disconnection. Bartlett, a professor at Gonzaga University in Spokane, Washington, studies how our emotions have evolved to serve an adaptive social purposes____18____. Bartlett and her colleagues evaluated the long-term effect of gratitude on loneliness and health in older adults in a 2019 study. Over the course of 20 days, participants were asked to write down their daily grateful moments, specifying not just what they were thankful for but also why the experience mattered to them. This simple practice was reported to contribute to a sustained decrease in loneliness and a marked increase in physical and mental well-being in the participants. Some research has even shown the positive impact of gratitude-letter writing, which takes the reflective practice a step further with tangible expression. Bartlett often suggests gratitude-letter writing to her students as an exercise in emotional awareness. She asked her students to write to a person who they have never thanked, or someone have not expressed gratitude to for a long time. ____19____. To build a sustainable gratitude practice against chronic loneliness, Bartlett offers actionable, science-backed tips that go beyond basic daily reflection. First, record three good things and their specific contributors every day, rather than vague positive events. Second, write a physical gratitude letter to someone underappreciated and deliver it in person if possible, a gesture that requires vulnerability but often leads to deeply moving conversations. ____20____. Unlike texts or digital messages, hand-delivered letters foster authentic, deep interpersonal connection, directly easing loneliness. A. She focused on older adults in research B. Such practice strengthens interpersonal connections C. His brain study backed the finding D. Gradually, this cultivates a consistent gratitude routine E. It has also been linked to decreased loneliness. F. Gratitude lights the “social bonding” circuit G. She questions whether gratitude works in long-term studies 【答案】16. E 17. C 18. A 19. B 20.

After four years, we returned to California, where everything felt both ____33____ and unreal — I carried “two childhoods” inside. Those years taught me abundance and shortage coexist, and ____34____ “less” brings more. Now, I no longer fear change — all because that early ____35____ led me to value connection over routine. 21.

Thank you. 【答案】One possible version Ladies and gentlemen, Good morning. I’m Li Hua from Fujian, China. It’s my great honor to be here to say somethingabout the global water shortage and ways of dealing with it. As we know, the global water shortage is becoming increasingly severe mainly due to global warming, environmental pollution and the ever-increasing population. Therefore, it’s high time we did something about it. Firstly, an effective way, I think, is to reserve water in a scientific way for future use. Secondly, new methods need to be developed to use the existing water resources, for example, turning sea water into fresh water. Thirdly, we must stop water opllution by law. Last but not least, it’s everyone’s responsibility to make good use of water, such as recycling and saving water in our daily life. In conclusion, people around the world should be aware of the real situation of water shortage, protect the present water resources and explore potential ones scientifically. That’s all. Thank you. 【解析】 【分析】本篇书面表达属于图画类应用文。要求考生写一篇发言稿。 【详解】第一步：审题。 体裁：应用文。 时态：根据提示，时态应为一般现在时为主。 要点：图画显示内容。 第二步：列重点词语，词组（注意好词的使用） 如：due to，environmental pollution，effective，scientific，existing water resource，responsibility，make good use of，such as，in conclusion，be aware of等. 第三步：连词成句（注意好句型的使用，如非谓语动词，复合句，注意拼写和时态问题） 第四步：连句成篇（注意衔接词的使用） 1.表文章结构顺序：First of all, Firstly/First, Secondly/Second…, Finally, In the end, At last; 2.表并列补充关系：What is more, Besides, Moreover, Furthermore, In addition, As well as, not only…but (also); 3.表因果关系：Because, As, So, Thus, Therefore, As a result 连句成文，注意使用恰当的连词进行句子之间的衔接与过渡。 第五步：润色修改。 【点睛】本文内容完整，要点齐全，语言规范，词数适当，段落分布合理。作者在文中使用了主从复合句，如“As we know, the global water shortage is becoming increasingly severe mainly due to global warming, environmental pollution and the ever-increasing population.”使用了定语从句，“Therefore, it’s high time we did something about it.”使用了虚拟语气，主从复合句的使用，使得文章的句式灵活多变，为文章增加了色彩。此外，作者还使用了衔接词“Firstly, Secondly, Thirdly，Last but not least等衔接词的使用，使得文章层次分明。 七、书面表达：本大题共1小题，共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。 I first started wearing glasses at age five. They were thick, black-framed, and many friends said that I looked like Ralphie, a boy in the movie A Christmas Story, always wearing thick glasses. Sadly, they were right. Over the years, my nearsightedness worsened, and my lenses (镜片) became heavier. An obvious depression formed on the bridge of my nose from the weight. I often joked that if the sun shone just right, I could start forest fires. In my twenties, I got my first pair of thinner lenses. Wearing them felt like wearing nothing at all. Later, polarized (偏光的) sunglasses made the world’s colors clearer than ever before. I thought I had finally seen life fully until my father went blind. Diagnosed (诊断) with macular degeneration, he ignored treatment advice and soon lost most of his vision. Once active, now he could only sit in his chair. An eye exam showed a small spot of degeneration in my eyes as well. At first, it seemed minor, but the next year it affected both eyes. Then came a cataract operation, which helped, but my vision problems were far from over. Just before retirement, I was diagnosed with myasthenia gravis, a disease that weakens muscles including those controlling the eyes. My eyelids became too tired to stay open, and unclear vision struck several times a day. The final warning came at a neuro-ophthalmologist’s office. Covering my left eye, I read the chart-but a large black shadow blocked most of my vision. Overnight, I became legally blind in that eye. My fear of injections (注射) was greater than the fear of blindness, yet the only way to save my sight was through eye injections. Both eyes needed treatment, and I would face four injections in total. My heart raced as I imagined the process. I felt a mix of fear, determination, and hope, knowing that these injections were my only chance to keep seeing the world I loved. 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。 I made up my mind finally. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I began to notice small improvements in my vision. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: I made up my mind finally. I would face the injections without letting fear control me. On the day of the first treatment, my hands trembled, but I reminded myself that courage was not the absence of fear, but acting despite it. The doctor explained each step carefully, and the nurses offered gentle encouragement. As the needle approached my eye, I focused on my breathing, imagining the vibrant colors of a sunset I might still see. One by one, I endured all four injections, my determination carrying me through the hardest moments. I began to notice small improvements in my vision. Shapes grew sharper, colors brighter, and shadows less threatening. With each subsequent improvement, my confidence grew alongside my eyesight. Simple joys, like reading a book or watching leaves dance in the wind, became celebrations of persistence and hope. I realized that my journey with vision problems had taught me patience, resilience, and the value of facing challenges head-on. Life, I understood, was about truly seeing the beauty in every moment rather than perfect sight. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者从小近视，后来又出现多种眼部问题，最终一只眼睛法定失明，为了拯救视力，作者决定接受眼部注射治疗。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我最终下定决心。”可知，第一段可描写作者接受注射治疗的过程，包括他的心理活动、医生的操作以及他的坚持。 ②由第二段首句内容“我开始注意到我的视力有了小的改善。”可知，第二段可描写视力改善后作者的感受和对生活的新认识，以及他从这段经历中获得的启示。 2. 续写线索：下定决心接受注射——医生仔细解释操作——作者专注呼吸忍受注射——视力有小改善——感受变化与获得启示 3. 词汇激活： 行为类 ①颤抖：tremble/quiver ②接近：approach/get close to/come near ③忍受：endure/bear/stand 情绪类 ①恐惧：fear/terror ②快乐：joy/happiness 【点睛】[高分句型1] On the day of the first treatment, my hands trembled, but I reminded myself that courage was not the absence of fear, but acting despite it.(运用了连词that引导宾语从句) [高分句型2] As the needle approached my eye, I focused on my breathing, imagining the vibrant colors of a sunset I might still see.(运用了从属连词as引导时间状语从句和省略关系代词的限制性定语从句) [高分句型3] I realized that my journey with vision problems had taught me patience, resilience, and the value of facing challenges head-on.(运用了连词that引导宾语从句) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 黄梅县育才高级中学2026年1月月考 高三英语试题 注意事项: 1.答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在答题卡上。 2.回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡对应题目的答案标号涂黑;如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上，写在试卷上无效。 3.考试结束后，本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 第I卷(选择题) 一、听力-选择题：本大题共20小题，共30分。 1.Where does the conversation most probably take place?

Aurora This historic village located on the eastern shore of Cayuga Lake was originally inhabited by the Cayuga people. European-American settlement began in 1789, and by 1837, Aurora was incorporated as a village. It became a centre for canal traffic following the opening of the Cayuga-Seneca Canal, which facilitated the transport of wool, grain, fruit, and pigs to broader markets. Cooperstown Founded in 1786 by Judge William Cooper, this town was named in Cooper’s honor. His son, James Fenimore Cooper, a renowned novelist, immortalized the area in his The Leatherstocking Tales, referring to Otsego Lake as the “Glimmerglass”. Cooperstown is perhaps best known as the home of the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum, established in 1939. This institution celebrates the history of baseball and honors its greatest players, making the village a favourite site for fans of America’s pastime. Skaneateles The name “Skaneateles” derives from the Iroquois term for “long lake”, which reflects the indigenous roots of this small town. European-American settlement began in the late 18th century, and the village was officially incorporated in 1833. Skaneateles is known for its well- preserved 19th-century architecture, with many buildings dating back to the 1830s. The downtown Historic District, established in 1985, showcases these architectural treasures. Seneca Falls This town is often recognized as the birthplace of the Women’s Rights movement in America. In July 1848, it hosted the first Women’s Rights Convention at the Wesleyan Chapel, where activists like Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Lucretia Mott presented the Declaration of Sentiments, advocating for women’s equality. You can visit the Women’s Rights National Historical Park, which includes the Wesleyan Chapel and the homes of key figures such as Elizabeth Cady Stanton. 1.

B Contrary to the commonly-held view, the brain does not have the ability to rewire itself to make up for the loss of sight, or a stroke, for example, say scientists from the University of Cambridge and Johns Hopkins University. Writing in eLife, Professors Tamar Makin (Cambridge)and John Krakauer (Johns Hopkins) argue that the belief that the brain, in response to injury or deficit, can reorganise itself and repurpose particular regions for new functions, is fundamentally incorrect-despite being commonly cited in scientific textbooks. Instead, they argue that what is occurring is merely the brain being trained to use already existing but possible abilities. In their article, Makin and Krakauer look at ten pioneering studies that aim to show the brain’s ability to reorganise. They argue, however, that while the studies do indeed show the brain’s ability to adapt to change, it is not creating new functions in previously unrelated areas—instead it’s using possible capacities that have been present since birth. Examining other studies, Makin and Krakauer found no convincing evidence that the visual cortex (大脑皮层) of individuals that were born blind or the uninjured cortex of stroke survivors ever developed a novel functional ability that did not otherwise exist. Understanding the true nature and limits of brain plasticity (可塑性) is crucial, both for setting realistic expectations for patients and for guiding clinical practitioners (从业人员) in their reconstructive approaches, they argue. Makin added: “This learning process is a proof of the brain’s remarkable—but limited—capacity for plasticity. There are no shortcuts or fast tracks in this journey. The idea of quickly unlocking hidden brain potentials or tapping into vast unused reserves is more wishful thinking than reality. It’s a slow, gradual journey, demanding persistent effort and practice. Recognising this helps us appreciate the hard work behind every story of recovery and adapt our strategies accordingly.” “So many times, the brain’s ability to rewire has been described as ‘miraculous’—but we’re scientists, we don’t believe in magic. These amazing behaviours that we see are rooted in hard work, repetition and training, not the magical reassignment of the brain’s resources.” They said. 4. What is a common misunderstanding of the brain’s function? A. The brain can be trained. B. The brain can compensate-blindness. C. The brain can rewire itself. D. The brain can react to sudden diseases. 5. Why are the related studies mentioned in the text? A. To tell the limits of brain plasticity. B. To analyze the structure of the brain. C. To find productive research methods. D. To explore the new functions of the brain. 6. What is Paragraph 5 mainly about? A. The realistic expectations for patients. B. Supporting evidence for the research results. C. Further explanations of the medical strategies. D. The medical significance of the new finding. 7. What will Makin and Krakauer suggest people do? A. Make the impossible possible. B. Reassign the brain’s resources flexibly. C. Try to develop the brain’s possible ability. D. Use the magic to accomplish difficult tasks. C Researchers at the University of Maryland have developed batteries that use a product found in crustacean (甲壳纲动物) shells to store energy. The new batteries are more eco-friendly, energy efficient and affordable compared to traditional ones. The scientists are now pushing to have the product adopted in the commercial production of batteries. They say that using this product is necessary owing to the increased move towards electric cars and green energy at large. The world is rapidly changing towards green energy and batteries are at the center of this move, so it is necessary to make batteries eco-friendly. “We think both biodegradability (生物降解性) of material and the performance of the batteries are important for a product, which has the potential to be commercialized,” said Liangbing Hu, the lead author of the study. According to the study published in Matter, traditional batteries could be quite harmful to the environment. For instance, products such as lithium (锂)used in batteries can stay in the environment for hundreds or thousands of years. Crustaceans such as shrimp, lobsters and crabs have hard skeletons whose cells contain a substance making the shells hard and resistant. Interestingly, this substance is available widely in nature and is often thrown away as waste in food industries. Scientists believe that the product could be used to improve the performance of batteries. The researchers were able to come up with a cheaper and more renewable battery which is 99.7% energy efficient even after 1000 battery cycles. That is about 400 hours. Further they found that the batteries can break down in soil in five months. The leftover zinc, a common metal, can be recovered for continuous recycling. “The design of new batteries that are respectful of the environment, cheap and producing high discharge capacity, is one of the more important items that must be developed in the coming years,” said Antonio Romero, professor of material sciences at the University of Cartagena in Spain. 8. Why are researchers developing the new batteries? A. To employ a product as storage. B. To replace the traditional batteries. C To address needs of clean energy. D. To use waste from food industries. 9. What is an advantage of employing the substance from crustaceans? A. It costs less than lithium. B. It reduces food waste. C. It makes batteries harder. D. It is naturally plentiful. 10. How does the author describe the new batteries in paragraph 5? A. By quoting experts. B. By providing statistics. C. By giving examples. D. By making comparisons. 11. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Lithium Batteries:A Threat to Environment B. Crustacean Shells Powering Future Batteries C. Food Waste:A New Source of Green Energy D. Zinc Recovery Supporting Battery Development D Recent research is challenging a long-standing belief: the idea that people are strictly “left-brained” or “right-brained” is far less fixed than we once assumed. This shift invites us to rethink how we understand brain function and personality. Conventional wisdom has long split people into two distinct “brain types.” Those labeled “right-brained” are said to be creative and likely to describe the world in subjective terms. In contrast, “left-brained” individuals are thought to be analytical, focused on details and guided by logic. Despite all its popularity, this two-sided view of the brain may be incorrect. To be clear, some brain functions are more concentrated on one side. We’ve learned this in part from studying stroke (中风) patients: when a specific brain region is damaged, certain abilities disappear. Damage to the front of the brain can reduce motivation and weaken creativity, while harm to the back may cause partial or complete blindness. These examples confirm that location matters for specific brain functions — but not for personality qualities. When it comes to individual qualities like creativity or logical thinking, there’s little or no evidence tying them to one brain hemisphere (半球). Even advanced scans of mathematicians’ and artists’ brains reveal no consistent structural differences. A 2023 University of Utah study added weight to this: researchers analyzed brain scans of over 1,000 young people, dividing the brain into 7,000 regions to check for “sidedness” linked to personality. The study concluded the left-brained or right-brained idea is more a figure of speech than an accurate anatomical (解剖学) description. Researchers still study “brain laterality” (which sides dominate functions like language or facial recognition), but not personality. If you’ve always seen yourself as a “numbers person” or a “creative type,” this research doesn’t change that — those strengths are still valid. But it does correct a common misconception: your personalities aren’t tied to one side of your brain. We still have much to learn about what shapes personality, but one-sided brain dominance almost certainly isn’t the key. 12. Which occupation probably suits “right-brained” people, based on conventional opinions? A. Hairdresser. B. Librarian. C. Mathematician. D. Typist. 13. Why does the author mention stroke patients? A. To prove one side of the brain operates specially. B. To show different brain regions vary in functions. C. To demonstrate brain damage changes personality. D. To argue the two-sided view of the brain is wrong. 14. What is the author’s attitude to the 2023 study? A. Favorable. B. Skeptical. C. Objective. D. Dissatisfied. 15. What is the main purpose of the passage? A. To clarify a widespread belief. B. To introduce a groundbreaking study. C. To confirm a long-standing assumption. D. To correct a widely held misconception. 三、阅读七选五：本大题共5小题，共12.5分。 Gratitude is a positive emotion that recognizes the good that others have brought to our lives, and is important both for our interpersonal relationships and physical well-being. ____16____. A pioneering meta-analysis spanning 15 countries confirmed a significant inverse correlation-higher gratitude correlates with lower loneliness-highlighting gratitude’s potential to ease the global loneliness epidemic. Psychologist James Hittner notes loneliness results from unmet social relationship expectations, a psychological gap that often leads to emotional isolation and depression if left unaddressed. Hittner and Calvin Widholm analyzed 26 studies involving over 10,000 participants across diverse age groups and cultural backgrounds, finding a moderate inverse relationship between gratitude and loneliness. Those scoring above average in gratitude had a 62.4% chance of below-average loneliness, a statistic that held consistent even after controlling for factors like socioeconomic status. Neuroscientist Glenn Fox, who published the first direct study of gratitude in the brain in 2015, was not shocked by the result. ____17____. The research found gratitude boosts medial prefrontal cortex activity, a region tied to social bonding and the experience of joy, which further explains the emotional and neurological link between gratitude and reduced social disconnection. Bartlett a professor at Gonzaga University in Spokane, Washington, studies how our emotions have evolved to serve an adaptive social purposes____18____. Bartlett and her colleagues evaluated the long-term effect of gratitude on loneliness and health in older adults in a 2019 study. Over the course of 20 days, participants were asked to write down their daily grateful moments, specifying not just what they were thankful for but also why the experience mattered to them. This simple practice was reported to contribute to a sustained decrease in loneliness and a marked increase in physical and mental well-being in the participants. Some research has even shown the positive impact of gratitude-letter writing, which takes the reflective practice a step further with tangible expression. Bartlett often suggests gratitude-letter writing to her students as an exercise in emotional awareness. She asked her students to write to a person who they have never thanked, or someone have not expressed gratitude to for a long time. ____19____. To build a sustainable gratitude practice against chronic loneliness, Bartlett offers actionable, science-backed tips that go beyond basic daily reflection. First, record three good things and their specific contributors every day, rather than vague positive events. Second, write a physical gratitude letter to someone underappreciated and deliver it in person if possible, a gesture that requires vulnerability but often leads to deeply moving conversations. ____20____. Unlike texts or digital messages, hand-delivered letters foster authentic, deep interpersonal connection, directly easing loneliness. A. She focused on older adults in research B. Such practice strengthens interpersonal connections C. His brain study backed the finding D. Gradually, this cultivates a consistent gratitude routine E It has also been linked to decreased loneliness. F. Gratitude lights the “social bonding” circuit G. She questions whether gratitude works in long-term studies 四、完形填空：本大题共15小题，共15分。 I must admit that I wasn’t always a fan of change — not even a little Like many children, I found comfort in ____21____ — the joy that comes from ordinary moments ____22____ themselves.

They were thick, black-framed, and many friends said that I looked like Ralphie, a boy in the movie A Christmas Story, always wearing thick glasses. Sadly, they were right. Over the years, my nearsightedness worsened, and my lenses (镜片) became heavier. An obvious depression formed on the bridge of my nose from the weight. I often joked that if the sun shone just right, I could start forest fires. In my twenties, I got my first pair of thinner lenses. Wearing them felt like wearing nothing at all. Later, polarized (偏光的) sunglasses made the world’s colors clearer than ever before. I thought I had finally seen life fully until my father went blind. Diagnosed (诊断) with macular degeneration, he ignored treatment advice and soon lost most of his vision. Once active, now he could only sit in his chair. An eye exam showed a small spot of degeneration in my eyes as well. At first, it seemed minor, but the next year it affected both eyes. Then came a cataract operation, which helped, but my vision problems were far from over. Just before retirement, I was diagnosed with myasthenia gravis, a disease that weakens muscles including those controlling the eyes. My eyelids became too tired to stay open, and unclear vision struck several times a day. The final warning came at a neuro-ophthalmologist’s office. Covering my left eye, I read the chart-but a large black shadow blocked most of my vision. Overnight, I became legally blind in that eye. My fear of injections (注射) was greater than the fear of blindness, yet the only way to save my sight was through eye injections. Both eyes needed treatment, and I would face four injections in total. My heart raced as I imagined the process. I felt a mix of fear, determination, and hope, knowing that these injections were my only chance to keep seeing the world I loved. 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。 I made up my mind finally. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I began to notice small improvements in my vision. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
