Not at all.不客气 ；C. I can’t help it 没办法；D. No chance.不可能。根据“I can’t bear seeing your room in a mess!”可知，没办法，看到你房间一团糟，我忍受不了。故选C项。 2. ________ you improve the sales target by the end of the year, the boss won’t give you a raise. A. After B. When C. Unless D. Once 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】考查连接词词义辨析。句意：除非你在年底前提高销售目标，否则老板是不会给你加薪的。A. After在……之后；B. When当……的时候；C. Unless除非；D. Once一旦。由the boss won’t give you a raise可知，空格处意为“除非”，应用unless引导条件状语从句。故选C。 3. Mary is so vain that every time she passes a mirror, she stops ________ at her reflection. A. looking B. being looked C. to have looked D. to look 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：玛丽非常爱慕虚荣，每次经过镜子前她都会停下来看看自己的模样。此处表示她停下来的目的是去看自己的模样，stop to do意为“停下来去做某事”，因此空格处是不定式to look作目的状语。故选D。 4. Though most of the audience left early, a small group of fans ________ in their seats until the singer finished all the extra performances. A. remains B. remained C. has remained D. had remained 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】考查时态。句意：尽管大部分观众早早离开了，但仍有少数粉丝一直坐在座位上，直到这位歌手完成了所有额外的表演。由left可知，句子描述过去的事情，时态用一般过去时，空格处用过去式，故选B。 5. The company is looking for a qualified accountant, but it is a(n) ________ position to cover the present post holder’s leave. A. temporary B. immediate C. compulsory D. instant 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】考查形容词词义辨析。句意：这家公司正在寻找一名合格的会计，但这是一个临时职位，用来顶替现任职位人员的假期。A. temporary临时的；B. immediate立即的、紧迫的；C. compulsory强制的、义务的；D. instant立刻的、速食的。根据“to cover the present post holder’s leave”可知，这个职位只是为了填补现任人员休假的空缺，是短期临时的，并非长期固定职位，形容词temporary最符合语境。故选A项。 6. The use of wind, ________ is clean and inexhaustible source of energy, to generate electricity has increased lately because of recent interest in fuel conservation. A. as B. which C. that D. when 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】考查定语从句。句意：由于人们近期对节约能源的重视，利用风能来发电的做法近年来得到了推广。风能是一种清洁且取之不尽的能源。空格处引导的是非限制性定语从句，从句中缺少主语，先行词The use of wind是物，因此用关系代词which引导定语从句，故选B。 7. Every evening after dinner, if not ______ in reading books, she can be found _____ on the sofa watching TV. A. absorbed; seating B. absorbing; sat C. absorbed; seated D. absorbing; sitting 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】考查省略句和非谓语动词。句意：每天晚饭后，如果不专心看书，她就会坐在沙发上看电视。分析句子结构可知，If引导条件状语从句，如果主从句主语一样，并且从句中谓语动词有be动词时，可省略if从句中的be动词和主语。一空处是sb be absorbed in doing sth为固定搭配，意为“某人全神贯注地做某事”。所以填absorbed。第二空seat是及物动词，构成seat sb结构，现在sb前置了，故用过去分词作主语补足语。故选C项。 8. It’s reported that renewable energy ________ around 20% of the country’s total energy consumption last year. A. accounts for B. consists of C. makes up D. takes up 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】考查动词短语辨析。句意：据报道，去年可再生能源在该国总能源消费中的占比约为 20%。A. accounts for占……比例；B. consists of由……组成；C. makes up组成；D. takes up占据。由around 20%可知，空格处意为“占……比例”。故选A。 9. — I’ve prepared a detailed presentation about the history of ancient writing. — That sounds fascinating, but I’m sure it won’t interest ________ in the audience. A. anybody B. everybody C. nobody D. somebody 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】考查不定代词词义辨析。句意：——我准备了一份关于古代文字历史的详细演示文稿。——听起来很有意思，但我确定不会让观众里的每个人都感兴趣。A. anybody任何人；B. everybody每个人；C. nobody没有人；D. somebody某人、有人。根据“That sounds fascinating, but...”可知，说话者先肯定了演示文稿的吸引力，随后通过转折表达并非所有人都会感兴趣，“won’t interest everybody”构成部分否定，表示“不是每个人都会感兴趣”；若用anybody则表示“没人会感兴趣”，与前文的肯定语气矛盾；nobody本身表否定，与won’t双重否定表肯定，不符合语境；somebody用于肯定句，此处是否定句，也不适用。故选B项。 10. ________her illness leaving her very weak at times, she tries to gain pleasure from life A. Despite B. However C. Although D. Instead of 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】考查介词和连词词义辨析。句意：尽管她的病有时使她很虚弱，但她试图从生活中获得乐趣。A. Despite尽管，介词；B. However然而，连词；C. Although虽然，连词；D. Instead of而不是，介词短语。根据“her illness leaving her very weak at times”可知，名词her illness前用介词。此处表示转折，指尽管她生病了，但是她还是努力寻找生活中的快乐，故选A。 第二节：完形填空(共20小题;每小题1分，满分20分) 阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后从26~45各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中， 选出最佳选项。 For 35 years, I taught in a small rural high school.

I was ready for my first through-hike for 15 days, setting out on the 180-kilometre Sunshine Coast Trail, Canada’s longest hut-to-hut trail (小路). While I was in the company of other hikers on most nights, the-second hut was empty. A hidden path nearby led to a rough bench on a small knoll (土墩) overlooking a clearing. I imagined someone had created and placed this bench in this exact spot not for themselves but for future hikers seeking a moment’s peace in the wilderness. I came to cherish the solitude (孤独). Having the forest entirely to myself, I sat and stared out at what felt like my own private lake, daydreaming while watching the grass waving and listening to the gentle sound of the water. Out here, I didn’t need to accommodate anyone else’s needs and wants. I could just be me with the freedom to do whatever I wanted, No schedule, no rush and not a care in the world. The trail varied a lot. Sometimes it was wide and flat; other times it snaked through the forest with no end in sight. The reflective orange trail markers guided me — squares for southbound and diamonds for northbound. It’s hard to get lost, even for someone like me with no sense of direction. Through-hiking creates a hiker’s grapevine (小道消息). At one hut, I was told about a man from France who might be coming my way. Later, a pair of hikers also spoke of this happy, easygoing Frenchman with long, curly brown hair hiking at a leisurely pace. Over the next two days, someone even asked if I was that Frenchman, which made me laugh. While I was preparing dinner on top of Tin Hat Mountain, a man with long brown hair approached me, “Are you Tommy?” “Pierre?” I shouted. It turned out Pierre learned of my existence from all the hut logbooks I signed. He’d caught up to me and we became friends even before meeting. Why do people go through-hiking? Is it to be in nature? To see beautiful views? One could do those things without all this hassle (麻烦，繁琐的事). I sought independence and adventure, to experience a different outlook on life, and to truly live and feel the raw grandness of the world. It was a quest — to visit every hut on the trail and make it from start to finish on my own two feet. In the end, I settled back into city life with these memories and a slightly changed perspective about what’s important. The next time I’m at work, listening to co-workers’, complaint, my mind will wander back to life on the trail — content and free. 34. In the third paragraph, the author uses the phrase “felt like my own private lake” mainly to ________. A. convey a sense of ownership and calmness. B. highlight the loneliness experienced during the hike. C. emphasize the vastness of the natural landscape. D. compare the lake to a personal possession. 35. How did the author distinguish between southbound and northbound trails? A. By the color of the markers. B. By the shape of the markers. C. By the distance between markers. D. By the presence of hut logbooks. 36. What connected the author and Pierre before they met? A. Shared interest in French culture. B. Mutual friends from previous hikes. C. Notes left in hut logbooks. D. A shared goal to summit Tin Hat Mountain. 37. What lasting effect did the hike have on the author? A. A desire to permanently leave city life. B. Improved navigation and surviving skills. C. A newfound appreciation for solitude and simplicity. D. A fear of returning to routine responsibilities. 【答案】34. A 35. B 36. C 37. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。讲述了作者独自开启加拿大阳光海岸步道的 15 天徒步，享受独处的宁静，凭借路标顺利前行，通过木屋日志结识皮埃尔，此次旅程让他收获独立，改变了对生活的看法。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“I came to cherish the solitude (孤独). Having the forest entirely to myself, I sat and stared out at what felt like my own private lake, daydreaming while watching the grass waving and listening to the gentle sound of the water. Out here, I didn’t need to accommodate anyone else’s needs and wants. I could just be me with the freedom to do whatever I wanted, No schedule, no rush and not a care in the world.(我开始珍视这份孤独。当我独自置身于这片森林之中时，我静静地坐着，凝视着那片仿佛属于我自己的湖泊，沉浸在遐想之中，同时看着草儿摇曳，聆听着潺潺的流水声。在这里，我不必迎合他人的需求和欲望。我可以做自己，拥有做任何想做的事的自由，没有日程安排，没有紧迫感，也没有任何烦恼)”可知，作者使用“仿佛是我自己的私人湖泊”这一表述，主要是为了表达一种归属感和宁静感。故选A。 【35题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“The reflective orange trail markers guided me — squares for southbound and diamonds for northbound. It’s hard to get lost, even for someone like me with no sense of direction.(那些反光的橙色指示标为我指明了方向——方形的标示面向南行，菱形的标示面向北行。即便像我这样毫无方向感的人，也很难迷路了)”可知，作者通过标记的形状来区分南向路径和北向路径。故选B。 【36题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第三段“It turned out Pierre learned of my existence from all the hut logbooks I signed. He’d caught up to me and we became friends even before meeting.(结果是，皮埃尔是通过我签署的所有小屋日志得知我的存在情况的。他后来追上了我，甚至在我们见面之前我们就已经成为了朋友)”可知，在他们相遇之前，将作者和皮埃尔联系在一起的是小屋日志中留下的笔记。故选C。 【37题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“In the end, I settled back into city life with these memories and a slightly changed perspective about what’s important. The next time I’m at work, listening to co-workers’, complaint, my mind will wander back to life on the trail — content and free.(最终，我带着这些回忆重新适应了城市生活，并且对重要之事有了些许不同的看法。下次我在工作时听到同事们的抱怨时，我的思绪就会飘回到那条小径上——那时的生活是如此惬意且自由)”可知，这次徒步旅行让作者对于独处和简约生活方式有了重新认识。故选C。 C In baseball, pitchers (投手) need both psychology and skill to strike out batters. Various pitchers have different ways to “psych out” batters. Some try to make the batters think that they are crazy. One major league pitcher was known to cover his uniform with dirt during the game so that batters would think he was nothing but a slob (懒汉、笨蛋). A batter would take one look at this pitcher and think there was no way he could really pitch well. The pitcher struck out a lot of batters that way. Other pitchers also tried switching their pitching hands during the game and even throwing balls over or behind the batters in order to psych them out. Sometimes pitchers do not need to do anything at all to psych out batters. The pitcher can just stand on the mound (土堆) and take his time pitching. This messes up the batter’s timing. A pitcher might also wait for the batter to step up to home plate, and then step off the pitcher’s mound to throw a few balls to first base for practice. One pitcher famous for his fast ball would stand on the pitcher’s mound and just stare at the batter. This gave the batter plenty of time to think about the pitch that was about to be thrown. When the pitcher saw that the batter was starting to feel ill at ease, he let his fast ball fly. It was an excellent tactic (战术) for this pitcher. Some pitchers rely less on skill and more on cheating to get their pitches past batters. These pitchers can “scuff” or “load” balls to make them fly unpredictably. A scuffed ball is a ball that has been scraped or cut, usually with sandpaper. A pitcher might keep a small piece of sandpaper in his glove or even buried in the pitcher’s mound. Scuffed balls can fly left or right or even drop low when they are pitched correctly. Loaded balls are balls which have something on them. This “something” might include spit, sweat, or even petroleum jelly (凡士林). A pitcher can put a little bit of petroleum jelly in his armpit (腋窝), under the front of his hat, or even under his shoelaces before a game. When this jelly is put on the ball, the ball will drop below a batter’s swing as the ball flies over home plate. Pitching scuffed or loaded balls is illegal, and a pitcher who is caught doing this can be thrown out of the game or even suspended from a team. However, some pitchers still take the chance. 38. Why would a pitcher cover his uniform with dirt during a game? A. To show he is not serious about the game. B. To make batters underestimate his pitching ability. C. To avoid being recognized by the opponents. D. To mess up the batter’s timing. 39. According to the passage, how can a pitcher mess up a batter’s timing? A. By switching his pitching hand suddenly. B. By throwing balls over the batter’s head fast. C. By staring at the batters and taking his time to pitch. D. By scuffing the ball with sandpaper. 40. What does the second paragraph mainly focus on? A. The standard steps for a pitcher to warm up before pitching. B. The ways to distract batters by changing pitching positions. C. The physical skills to improve the speed and accuracy of pitches. D. The psychological tactics that require to disturb batters mentally. 41. How is the passage organized? A. By comparing the effects of psychological tricks and cheating methods. B. By analyzing the advantages and disadvantages of each tactic. C. By telling a story about a famous pitcher’s successful experience. D. By introducing different types of pitching tactics in baseball. 【答案】38. B 39. C 40. D 41. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲的是棒球投手为了使击球手三振出局所采用的各种战术，涵盖心理战术、合法技巧以及非法作弊手段。 【38题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“One major league pitcher was known to cover his uniform with dirt during the game so that batters would think he was nothing but a slob (懒汉、笨蛋). A batter would take one look at this pitcher and think there was no way he could really pitch well.(有一位大联盟投手在比赛中会把制服弄得满是泥土，这样击球手就会认为他不过是个邋遢鬼。击球手一看到这位投手，就会觉得他肯定投不好球。)”可知，投手会在比赛中把制服弄满泥土是为了让击球手低估他的投球能力。故选B。 【39题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“One pitcher famous for his fast ball would stand on the pitcher’s mound and just stare at the batter. This gave the batter plenty of time to think about the pitch that was about to be thrown.(有一位以快速球闻名的投手会站在投手丘上，只是盯着击球手。这让击球手有足够的时间去想即将投出的球。)”可知，投手通过盯着击球手，不紧不慢地投球来打乱击球手的节奏。故选C。 【40题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段“The pitcher can just stand on the mound (土堆) and take his time pitching. This messes up the batter’s timing. A pitcher might also wait for the batter to step up to home plate, and then step off the pitcher’s mound to throw a few balls to first base for practice. One pitcher famous for his fast ball would stand on the pitcher’s mound and just stare at the batter. This gave the batter plenty of time to think about the pitch that was about to be thrown. When the pitcher saw that the batter was starting to feel ill at ease, he let his fast ball fly. It was an excellent tactic (战术) for this pitcher.(投手只需站在投手丘上，不紧不慢地投球。这就会打乱击球手的节奏。投手也可能会等击球手走上本垒板，然后走下投手丘，向一垒投几个球进行练习。有一位以快速球闻名的投手会站在投手丘上，只是盯着击球手。这让击球手有足够的时间去想即将投出的球。当投手看到击球手开始感到不安时，他就会投出快速球。这对这位投手来说是个绝佳的战术。)”可知，第二段主要讲的是需要从心理上干扰击球手的心理战术。故选D。 【41题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“In baseball, pitchers (投手) need both psychology and skill to strike out batters. Various pitchers have different ways to “psych out” batters.(在棒球运动中，投手需要兼具心理战术和技巧才能让击球手三振出局。不同的投手有不同“扰乱击球手心理”的方法。)”和第三段“Some pitchers rely less on skill and more on cheating to get their pitches past batters.(有些投手较少依赖技巧，更多依靠作弊来让球躲过击球手。)”可知，这篇文章是通过比较心理战术和作弊方法的效果展开的，故选A。 D Loneliness has been cast as a public health crisis, even deadly. A 2010 study found that those with weaker social relationships had a higher risk of early mortality (死亡率) than those who did not. The dangers of loneliness are countless — social isolation is associated with a. greater risk of cardiovascular (心脑血管) disease, stroke, depression, and anxiety. Almost everyone feels lonely on occasion, but sometimes loneliness is a consequence of ongoing isolation brought on by busyness, depression, a significant life change — like a move,a breakup, the birth of a child, or some combination of all of the above. Some people’s lives are particularly isolating, especially if they live alone, work remotely, and don’t often interact with others. On the other hand, too much social interaction can be equally exhausting. An essential aspect of a well-balanced social life is alone time, a chance to recharge, according to research. A teacher who interacts with students and colleagues all day may not have the bandwidth (带宽) to volunteer to lead a birding walk. Fighting off both loneliness and social exhaustion is a difficult task. Because everyone’s social lives and social desires vary so greatly, researchers are unable to prescribe (开处方) a set amount of interaction for a fulfilled life. Only we can identify our right dose of time spent with others. However, we often aren’t paying enough attention to our interpersonal interactions to determine whether we’ re feeling socially satisfied. It isn’t until we’ re in the depths of loneliness or socially overextended (社交过度) that we realize we need something: a positive talk with a friend, a few chats with a stranger on the bus, or a weekend alone with a good book. “The really ironic thing is a lot of people don’t have that self-insight. We’ve interacted with people our whole lives — we have friends and we have partners and a lot of what we do every day is talking to other people,” says William Chopik, a social-personality psychologist and an associate professor at Michigan State University. “I don’t think a lot of people sit down and really take stock of the exact amount of social interaction that makes them comfortable.” Being intentional with your interpersonal contact and maintaining a variety of conversation partners are crucial to supporting a healthy social life. Keeping loneliness at bay requires a nominal (少量的), yet committed, effort: At the end of a day, week, or month, take stock of with whom you socialized, what kinds of interactions you had, and whether you feel emotionally satisfied to get a clearer picture of your social intake. 42. What is the purpose of the third paragraph in the passage? A. To stress the importance of having a certain amount of alone time. B. To give an example of a job that involves too much interaction. C. To suggest a way to balance social interaction and loneliness. D. To challenge a popular belief that isolation is harmful to our health. 43. Why does William Chopik find it ironic that people lack self-insight when it comes to interaction? A. Because people tend to go to extremes in social interaction. B. Because people always ignore what they spend most time on. C. Because people fail to make meaningful connections with other people. D. Because people struggle to determine their ideal social interaction amount. 44. According to the passage, how can people maintain a healthy social life? A. Maintaining a balance between busyness and relaxation. B. Engaging in activities that require little social interaction. C. Reflecting on social interactions and emotional satisfaction. D. Comparing our social interactions with those of others. 45. What does the passage mainly talk about? A. How much social interaction do you actually need? B. What is the impact and significance of loneliness? C. What are the strategies for overcoming loneliness? D. How to balance social interaction and alone time? 【答案】42. A 43. D 44. C 45. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要探讨了孤独与社交互动之间的关系，指出每个人对社交的需求不同，难以确定一个固定的社交量来满足所有人，强调了反思社交互动和情感满足对于维持健康社交生活的重要性。 【42题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“On the other hand, too much social interaction can be equally exhausting. An essential aspect of a well-balanced social life is alone time, a chance to recharge, according to research. A teacher who interacts with students and colleagues all day may not have the bandwidth (带宽) to volunteer to lead a birding walk.(另一方面，过多的社交互动同样会令人疲惫。研究表明，独处时间是构建平衡社交生活的重要一环，它能为人们提供自我充电的机会。例如，一位整天与学生和同事打交道的老师，可能就没有额外精力再去主动带领观鸟徒步活动了)”可知，本段主要强调了独处时间的重要性，指出它是平衡社交生活的一个关键要素。故选A项。 【43题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段中““The really ironic thing is a lot of people don’t have that self-insight. We’ve interacted with people our whole lives — we have friends and we have partners and a lot of what we do every day is talking to other people,” says William Chopik, a social-personality psychologist and an associate professor at Michigan State University. “I don’t think a lot of people sit down and really take stock of the exact amount of social interaction that makes them comfortable.”(“真正具有讽刺意味的是，很多人缺乏这种自我洞察力。我们一生都在与人交往——我们有朋友，有伴侣，我们每天做的很多事情就是和别人交谈，”密歇根州立大学社会人格心理学家、副教授William Chopik说。“我认为很多人不会坐下来真正评估让他们感到舒适的社交互动的确切数量。”)”可知，William Chopik认为很多人缺乏自我洞察力，无法确定自己理想的社交互动量，这让他觉得讽刺。故选D项。 【44题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Being intentional with your interpersonal contact and maintaining a variety of conversation partners are crucial to supporting a healthy social life. Keeping loneliness at bay requires a nominal (少量的), yet committed, effort: At the end of a day, week, or month, take stock of with whom you socialized, what kinds of interactions you had, and whether you feel emotionally satisfied to get a clearer picture of your social intake.(有意识地与人交往，保持各种各样的交谈伙伴，对支持健康的社交生活至关重要。远离孤独需要付出微不足道但坚定的努力：在一天、一周或一个月结束时，评估一下你和谁交往过，你进行了什么样的互动，以及你是否感到情感上的满足，以便更清楚地了解你的社交摄入)”可知，人们可以通过反思社交互动和情感满足来维持健康的社交生活。故选C项。 【45题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，结合第四段中“Fighting off both loneliness and social exhaustion is a difficult task. Because everyone’s social lives and social desires vary so greatly, researchers are unable to prescribe (开处方) a set amount of interaction for a fulfilled life. Only we can identify our right dose of time spent with others.(既要对抗孤独感，又要避免社交倦怠，确实是项艰难的任务。由于每个人的社交生活和社交需求差异巨大，研究人员无法为“充实的生活”开具统一的社交互动剂量。只有我们自己才能找到与他人相处的适宜时长)”可知，文章首先指出孤独感对健康的危害(第一段)，接着分析了孤独感的成因和过度社交的疲惫(第二、三段)，然后探讨了每个人所需的社交量是不同的，且人们常常缺乏自我洞察(第四、五段)，最后建议通过有意识的反思来找到并维持适合自己的社交平衡(第六段)。文章的核心是探讨每个人到底需要多少社交互动，以及如何找到这个量。故选A项。 卷Ⅱ 主观题(共25分) 第一节：阅读表达(共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分) 阅读短文，按照题目要求用英语回答问题。 I was born legally blind. Of all the stories of my early childhood, the one about a tree is my mother’s favorite. I was only two when the incident occurred. We had just arrived home from a trip. Mom lifted me out of the car and turned to speak to the driver. I took advantage of my brief freedom to zoom across the lawn and hit a large maple tree! I was running so fast that I bounced off the trunk and landed on my backside. Mom expected me to start crying but I just sat there for a minute. Then I picked myself up and kept right on going. Mom always adds here that, as many times as I zoomed across the lawn after that, I never again crashed into that tree. Mom loves to use this story as an example. It reminds her that children don’t enter life afraid to take risks or unwilling to try again when they fall down. She never wanted me to lose that toughness as I grew older. When I made my major life decisions, I was still that little girl tearing (飞跑) full-speed across the lawn. I studied abroad and later moved away from my parents’ home to look for a job. Through years of efforts, I have become a respected teacher in a school serving high-need students. We are almost certain to get knocked down at some point during the process of achieving our goal. When that happens, don’t sit in the grass and cry. Just get up and keep on going. It will all be worth it in the end. 46. What is the author’s mother’s favorite story of her early childhood? (no more than 10 words) _______________________________________________________________________________ 47. How do you explain the underlined word in paragraph 2? (no more than 1 word) _______________________________________________________________________________ 48. Why does the author’s mother like to take the story as an example? (no more than 15 words) _______________________________________________________________________________ 49. How does the author demonstrate the same toughness in her adult life? (no more than 15 words) _______________________________________________________________________________ 50. What can you learn from the author’s story? (no more than about 20 words) _______________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】46. The story about the author hitting a maple tree./The one about a tree. 47. Race./Rush./Run. 48. It reminds her of children not feeling afraid to take risks. It reminds her of children not feeling unwilling to try again facing failure. It reminds her of children’s courage to try again. 49. She studied abroad and moved away from parents to look for a job. 50. We should stay tough, keep going after failures and dare to take risks to achieve goals. 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了作者天生有视力残疾，在作者两岁时，有一次快速跑过草坪时撞到大枫树，摔倒后又爬起来继续跑，且之后没再撞到那棵树。妈妈常以这个故事为例，提醒作者孩子不惧冒险、摔倒后愿意再尝试，希望作者长大后也不要失去这份坚韧。 【46题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第一段“Of all the stories of my early childhood, the one about a tree is my mother’s favorite.(在我童年早期的所有故事里，妈妈最喜欢关于一棵树的那个故事。)”可知，作者母亲对他幼年时期最喜欢的故事是作者撞上一棵枫树的故事。故答案为The story about the author hitting a maple tree./The one about a tree. 【47题详解】 考查词句猜测。根据第二段“I was running so fast(我跑得如此地快)”可知，zoom的意思是“快速地跑”，即Race./Rush./Run。故答案为Race./Rush./Run. 【48题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第三段“It reminds her that children don’t enter life afraid to take risks or unwilling to try again when they fall down.(这让她想起，孩子们来到这个世界上时，并不害怕冒险，摔倒后也愿意再次尝试。)”可知，作者的母亲喜欢以这个故事为例是因为这让她想起了孩子们敢于冒险的样子/这让她想起了孩子们即便面对失败也不愿放弃重试的场景/这让她想起了孩子们勇于再次尝试的精神。故答案为It reminds her of children not feeling afraid to take risks./It reminds her of children not feeling unwilling to try again facing failure./It reminds her of children’s courage to try again. 【49题详解】 考查细节理解。根据倒数第二段“I studied abroad and later moved away from my parents’ home to look for a job.(我出国留学，后来离开父母家去找工作。)”可知，作者成年后出国留学，离开了父母去寻找工作，这是成年生活后坚韧不拔的精神的证明。故答案为She studied abroad and moved away from parents to look for a job. 【50题详解】 开放性试题。我从这个故事学到了我们应该保持坚韧，即使遭遇失败也要继续前行，并敢于冒险以实现目标。故答案为We should stay tough, keep going after failures and dare to take risks to achieve goals. 第二节：书面表达(满分15分) 51. 假如你是晨光国际中学的学生李津，下周你校要举办冬季运动会，现准备出一期英语公众号介绍一种传统的体育项目，因此向同学们征集运动项目的图片和配文介绍。请你根据以下内容提示，选择一项运动投稿，题目自拟。 （1）描述该项运动； （2）介绍这项运动的好处； （3）号召大家积极参加体育运动。 注意：（1）字数不少于100； （2）题目自拟，不计入总词数； （3）可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。 参考词汇：如拔河tug-of-war，跳长绳long-rope skipping，太极Tai Chi等（但不限于这几项运动） _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Discover the Charm of Tai Chi Tai Chi, a traditional Chinese martial art, is a graceful blend of slow movements, deep breathing, and meditation.

I was ready for my first through-hike for 15 days, setting out on the 180-kilometre Sunshine Coast Trail, Canada’s longest hut-to-hut trail (小路). While I was in the company of other hikers on most nights, the-second hut was empty. A hidden path nearby led to a rough bench on a small knoll (土墩) overlooking a clearing. I imagined someone had created and placed this bench in this exact spot not for themselves but for future hikers seeking a moment’s peace in the wilderness. I came to cherish the solitude (孤独). Having the forest entirely to myself, I sat and stared out at what felt like my own private lake, daydreaming while watching the grass waving and listening to the gentle sound of the water. Out here, I didn’t need to accommodate anyone else’s needs and wants. I could just be me with the freedom to do whatever I wanted, No schedule, no rush and not a care in the world. The trail varied a lot. Sometimes it was wide and flat; other times it snaked through the forest with no end in sight. The reflective orange trail markers guided me — squares for southbound and diamonds for northbound. It’s hard to get lost, even for someone like me with no sense of direction. Through-hiking creates a hiker’s grapevine (小道消息). At one hut, I was told about a man from France who might be coming my way. Later, a pair of hikers also spoke of this happy, easygoing Frenchman with long, curly brown hair hiking at a leisurely pace. Over the next two days, someone even asked if I was that Frenchman, which made me laugh. While I was preparing dinner on top of Tin Hat Mountain, a man with long brown hair approached me, “Are you Tommy?” “Pierre?” I shouted. It turned out Pierre learned of my existence from all the hut logbooks I signed. He’d caught up to me and we became friends even before meeting. Why do people go through-hiking? Is it to be in nature? To see beautiful views? One could do those things without all this hassle (麻烦，繁琐的事). I sought independence and adventure, to experience a different outlook on life, and to truly live and feel the raw grandness of the world. It was a quest — to visit every hut on the trail and make it from start to finish on my own two feet. In the end, I settled back into city life with these memories and a slightly changed perspective about what’s important. The next time I’m at work, listening to co-workers’, complaint, my mind will wander back to life on the trail — content and free. 34.

Various pitchers have different ways to “psych out” batters. Some try to make the batters think that they are crazy. One major league pitcher was known to cover his uniform with dirt during the game so that batters would think he was nothing but a slob (懒汉、笨蛋). A batter would take one look at this pitcher and think there was no way he could really pitch well. The pitcher struck out a lot of batters that way. Other pitchers also tried switching their pitching hands during the game and even throwing balls over or behind the batters in order to psych them out. Sometimes pitchers do not need to do anything at all to psych out batters. The pitcher can just stand on the mound (土堆) and take his time pitching. This messes up the batter’s timing. A pitcher might also wait for the batter to step up to home plate, and then step off the pitcher’s mound to throw a few balls to first base for practice. One pitcher famous for his fast ball would stand on the pitcher’s mound and just stare at the batter. This gave the batter plenty of time to think about the pitch that was about to be thrown. When the pitcher saw that the batter was starting to feel ill at ease, he let his fast ball fly. It was an excellent tactic (战术) for this pitcher. Some pitchers rely less on skill and more on cheating to get their pitches past batters. These pitchers can “scuff” or “load” balls to make them fly unpredictably. A scuffed ball is a ball that has been scraped or cut, usually with sandpaper. A pitcher might keep a small piece of sandpaper in his glove or even buried in the pitcher’s mound. Scuffed balls can fly left or right or even drop low when they are pitched correctly. Loaded balls are balls which have something on them. This “something” might include spit, sweat, or even petroleum jelly (凡士林). A pitcher can put a little bit of petroleum jelly in his armpit (腋窝), under the front of his hat, or even under his shoelaces before a game. When this jelly is put on the ball, the ball will drop below a batter’s swing as the ball flies over home plate. Pitching scuffed or loaded balls is illegal, and a pitcher who is caught doing this can be thrown out of the game or even suspended from a team. However, some pitchers still take the chance. 38. Why would a pitcher cover his uniform with dirt during a game? A. To show he is not serious about the game. B. To make batters underestimate his pitching ability. C. To avoid being recognized by the opponents. D. To mess up the batter’s timing. 39. According to the passage, how can a pitcher mess up a batter’s timing? A. By switching his pitching hand suddenly. B. By throwing balls over the batter’s head fast. C. By staring at the batters and taking his time to pitch. D. By scuffing the ball with sandpaper. 40. What does the second paragraph mainly focus on? A. The standard steps for a pitcher to warm up before pitching. B. The ways to distract batters by changing pitching positions. C. The physical skills to improve the speed and accuracy of pitches. D. The psychological tactics that require to disturb batters mentally. 41. How is the passage organized? A. By comparing the effects of psychological tricks and cheating methods. B. By analyzing the advantages and disadvantages of each tactic. C. By telling a story about a famous pitcher’s successful experience. D. By introducing different types of pitching tactics in baseball. D Loneliness has been cast as a public health crisis, even deadly. A 2010 study found that those with weaker social relationships had a higher risk of early mortality (死亡率) than those who did not. The dangers of loneliness are countless — social isolation is associated with a. greater risk of cardiovascular (心脑血管) disease, stroke, depression, and anxiety. Almost everyone feels lonely on occasion, but sometimes loneliness is a consequence of ongoing isolation brought on by busyness, depression, a significant life change — like a move,a breakup, the birth of a child, or some combination of all of the above. Some people’s lives are particularly isolating, especially if they live alone, work remotely, and don’t often interact with others. On the other hand, too much social interaction can be equally exhausting. An essential aspect of a well-balanced social life is alone time, a chance to recharge, according to research. A teacher who interacts with students and colleagues all day may not have the bandwidth (带宽) to volunteer to lead a birding walk. Fighting off both loneliness and social exhaustion is a difficult task. Because everyone’s social lives and social desires vary so greatly, researchers are unable to prescribe (开处方) a set amount of interaction for a fulfilled life. Only we can identify our right dose of time spent with others. However, we often aren’t paying enough attention to our interpersonal interactions to determine whether we’ re feeling socially satisfied. It isn’t until we’ re in the depths of loneliness or socially overextended (社交过度) that we realize we need something: a positive talk with a friend, a few chats with a stranger on the bus, or a weekend alone with a good book. “The really ironic thing is a lot of people don’t have that self-insight. We’ve interacted with people our whole lives — we have friends and we have partners and a lot of what we do every day is talking to other people,” says William Chopik, a social-personality psychologist and an associate professor at Michigan State University. “I don’t think a lot of people sit down and really take stock of the exact amount of social interaction that makes them comfortable.” Being intentional with your interpersonal contact and maintaining a variety of conversation partners are crucial to supporting a healthy social life. Keeping loneliness at bay requires a nominal (少量的), yet committed, effort: At the end of a day, week, or month, take stock of with whom you socialized, what kinds of interactions you had, and whether you feel emotionally satisfied to get a clearer picture of your social intake. 42. What is the purpose of the third paragraph in the passage? A. To stress the importance of having a certain amount of alone time. B. To give an example of a job that involves too much interaction. C. To suggest a way to balance social interaction and loneliness. D. To challenge a popular belief that isolation is harmful to our health. 43. Why does William Chopik find it ironic that people lack self-insight when it comes to interaction? A. Because people tend to go to extremes in social interaction. B. Because people always ignore what they spend most time on. C. Because people fail to make meaningful connections with other people. D. Because people struggle to determine their ideal social interaction amount. 44. According to the passage, how can people maintain a healthy social life? A. Maintaining a balance between busyness and relaxation. B. Engaging in activities that require little social interaction. C. Reflecting on social interactions and emotional satisfaction. D. Comparing our social interactions with those of others. 45. What does the passage mainly talk about? A. How much social interaction do you actually need? B. What is the impact and significance of loneliness? C. What are the strategies for overcoming loneliness? D. How to balance social interaction and alone time? 卷Ⅱ 主观题(共25分) 第一节：阅读表达(共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分) 阅读短文，按照题目要求用英语回答问题。 I was born legally blind. Of all the stories of my early childhood, the one about a tree is my mother’s favorite. I was only two when the incident occurred. We had just arrived home from a trip. Mom lifted me out of the car and turned to speak to the driver. I took advantage of my brief freedom to zoom across the lawn and hit a large maple tree! I was running so fast that I bounced off the trunk and landed on my backside. Mom expected me to start crying but I just sat there for a minute. Then I picked myself up and kept right on going. Mom always adds here that, as many times as I zoomed across the lawn after that, I never again crashed into that tree. Mom loves to use this story as an example. It reminds her that children don’t enter life afraid to take risks or unwilling to try again when they fall down. She never wanted me to lose that toughness as I grew older. When I made my major life decisions, I was still that little girl tearing (飞跑) full-speed across the lawn. I studied abroad and later moved away from my parents’ home to look for a job. Through years of efforts, I have become a respected teacher in a school serving high-need students. We are almost certain to get knocked down at some point during the process of achieving our goal. When that happens, don’t sit in the grass and cry. Just get up and keep on going. It will all be worth it in the end. 46. What is the author’s mother’s favorite story of her early childhood?
