He described his experience as upsetting, saying, “Everyone in the café was staring at me. The person serving me looked up and said: ‘Oh,we’re not serving any more’. She turned around and walked off. But clearly, they were still serving.” Ghose underwent a surgery at 11, resulting in facial disfigurement (畸形), for which he was bullied in school. He struggled with self-acceptance and had to hide his face, unwilling to show it to others for a long time. A transfiguration came through a school activity — cricket, allowing him to connect with others and build friendships. Through the sport, he was able to redefine himself, changing focus from his appearance to his skills and passion for the game. As an adult, he continued to face upsetting reactions to his appearance, including constant staring, and whispered comments from onlookers. “The pointing, the tapping, the friend next to them saying ‘have you seen that guy’s face’, that is also constant,” he added, drowning himself in desperation. Ghose’s wife, Piyali, helped him learn to accept himself, encouraging him to share his story on social media. Despite initial hesitation, he started a TikTok account in early 2023, gaining nearly 200,000 followers and millions of likes. By sharing his experiences, Ghose became more self-accepting and confident. He transitioned from a law firm job to full-time motivational speaking, prioritising helping young people. “Disability or no disability, visible difference or no visible difference, we all have insecurities, we all have things that we’re faced with, and challenges we’re faced with. I just want to share with people that if we truly celebrate who we are, accept who we are, fall in love with who we are, then we can be more confident,” he said. 4. Why was Ghose denied service at the London café? A. He arrived there after closing time. B. The café was fully reserved that day. C. The staff were biased against his looks. D. He upset the regular work in the café. 5. What does the underlined word “transfiguration” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Shift. B. Thought. C. Prize. D. Record. 6. What caused Ghose to share his story on social media? A. Encouragement from his wife. B. The success in his law firm job. C. His childhood bullying experiences. D. Requests from his TikTok followers. 7. What message does the author seem to convey in the text? A. Actions speak louder than words. B. You are enough just as you are. C. A trouble shared is a trouble halved. D. Where there is a will, there is a way. C For gardeners who love neatness, autumn is a bit of a mixed blessing. Golden, autumn leaves look beautiful at first, but they soon turn brown and mushy, making many people want to throw them away. However, gardening and wildlife experts say this is unnecessary and even harmful. To those so inclined (有倾向的), Jon Stokes, the director of the Tree Council, shares his experience. “It’s not necessary. In 35 years of having a garden, I’ve never once swept a leaf, because I’ve never had to. They disappear within a week because the earthworms get them. The garden is completely full of wildlife and my grass has never suffered because of it,” he says, “Don’t take them away and drop them at the landfill, because you’ll have just taken all that goodness out of your garden. If you can’t bear to leave them where they are, get the kids to kick them into a corner, stick them in a pile, or let the hedgehogs (刺猬) and earthworms use them.” While gardens covered with fallen leaves may look like a mess to humans, to wildlife they are a vital source of nutrients and shelter. For an earthworm, a fallen leaf is a snack to be rolled up and pulled down into the soil. For an elephant hawk-moth caterpillar, it is a roof under which to shelter until spring. For a hedgehog, it is a bed to roll around in and turn into a nest. Even for a tree, the leafy covering is a source from which to “drink” during dry periods. Experts offer easy ways to balance neatness and nature. Oliver Fry from Surrey Wildlife Trust suggests piling leaves in dry spots for hedgehogs or wet areas for frogs. Leave some leaf-covered areas for insects, but keep others tidy. If you hate rotting leaves, cut them into small pieces — worms will carry them away faster, boosting the soil microorganisms. Adrian Thomas from the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds stresses keeping leaves in the garden instead of landfills. Every gardener’s small effort with leaves can help nature a lot. Leaves aren’t waste; they’re free, natural helpers for healthy plants. 8. What does “a mixed blessing” imply in paragraph 1? A. Autumn is a pleasant but sorrowful. B. Wildlife is lovely but harmful. C. Gardening is rewarding but laborious. D. Fallen leaves are beautiful but annoying. 9. What is Jon Stokes’ attitude towards leaf sweeping? A. Favorable. B. Opposed. C. Cautious. D. Unclear. 10. According to Oliver Fry, what should we do with fallen leaves? A. Send them to the landfill. B. Leave them lying around. C. Pile them in certain areas. D. Sweep them up right away. 11. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Leave the Leaves B. Warm the Worms C. Guard the Gardens D. Balance the Balance D Sauerkraut (酸菜) has long been a bit player in the American diet, just serving as a side topping on the sandwich. But its time in the spotlight may be here. An increasing number of nutrition scientists and food companies want us to eat more fermented (发酵的) foods like yogurt, kimchi and sauerkraut. A growing body of scientific research is finding that fermented foods benefit health. When researchers at Stanford put people on a diet high in a range of fermented foods, they found their microbiomes (微生物组) became more diverse and the levels of certain inflammation (炎症) markers decreased. Maria Marco, a professor at the University of California, found in lab that sauerkraut contains more compounds that protect the lining of the gut than raw cabbage does. This could help explain the anti-inflammatory effect of fermented vegetables. The fermentation process can change the nutritional content of food by, for example, increasing the amount of some vitamins. Nutrition scientists say it can also make nutrients easier for the body to absorb. Growing concern in gut health and desire for less-processed products are driving consumers’ interest, said Stephanie Mattucci, principal strategist at market research firm Mintel. More companies are embracing fermentation, in which beneficial microbes are used to change food and drinks. To deal with the strong flavor of many fermented foods, some companies are even creating milder versions to win over more people. According to NielsenIQ, sales of fermented foods and ingredients reached $61.17 billion in the 52 weeks ending Oct. 4, up about 27% from the comparable period four years ago. “But there’s still a lot that scientists need to learn about fermented foods,” said Dalia Perelman, a nutrition researcher and registered dietitian at Stanford. “We’re trying to figure out if some are better for you than others, if there is a best type of fermentation and what exactly it is about these foods that makes people healthy.” 12. How was Sauerkraut traditionally viewed in the Americans’ diet before? A. Rare. B. Trendy. C. Minor. D. Worthless. 13. How does the author show the benefits of fermented foods? A. By studying cases. B. By analyzing the cause. C. By providing examples. D. By presenting research results. 14. What can we learn from paragraph 3? A. The market sales double annually. B. Milder versions are more nutritious. C. Fermented foods are gaining popularity. D. Consumers worry about less-processed food. 15. What can be inferred from Dalia Perelman’s words? A. Much research remains to be done. B. The best version has been produced. C. Clear reasons for health benefits have been found. D. Different fermented foods have equal health benefits. 第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 When people want to improve themselves, they usually try to do it directly through deliberate habit building. ____16____ Hobbies are a prime example of how purposeful activities can lead to natural self-improvement. Since better self-discipline is something many people struggle for, this article will focus on how hobbies can deliver that. A good hobby can displace negative behaviors. Take Rob, who joins a Saturday rock-climbing group, as an example. To enjoy the trip, he naturally reduces heavy drinking on Friday nights. ____17____ Hobbies can create better routines. Any hobby requiring a new, positive routine will add structure to your life. For instance, having a dog establishes a daily walking habit. In this context, the key point isn’t anything to do with walking being healthful. It’s that the walking happens at the same time each day. ____18____ Hobbies build tolerance for physical efforts. Sports or intense exercise helps us develop a better sense of what healthy physical efforts feel like. We learn to put up with feelings like increased heart rate without mistaking them for signs that something is wrong. ____19____ Research shows regular exercise relates to better discipline in household chores, spending and study habits. ____20____ If a hobby makes you see yourself as more responsible, more capable, or more invested in discipline, you're more likely to develop those qualities. Consider hobbies involving leadership or teamwork. They can shift how you see your role in the world and encourage you to act accordingly. Therefore, improving self-discipline doesn't mean forcing yourself into a rigid model. It can be a natural result of finding a hobby you love and allowing it to shape you. A. Hobbies can transform your identity. B. Hobbies make you more capable than others. C. Thus, hobbies help teach time management skills. D. This tolerance can also be applied to other areas of life. E. This routine creates a point of organization in your evenings. F. However, self-improvement often occurs as a satisfying side effect. G. In this case, the hobby replaces the unhealthy habit with a fulfilling one. 第三部分 语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共15小题：每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 At 80, Betty Kellenberger tightened her pack and set out to hike the 2,197-mile Appalachian Trail.

He followed a rigid and predictable routine that never changed. Every day, he left home at 6:00 for the shoelace factory, ate the same cheese-and-mustard sandwich at lunch, and stopped at the newsstand and grocery store on his way back. He read the paper and went to bed by 9:00 every night. A man of few words, he kept to himself, with no one knowing his family or entering his house. Everything changed on New Year’s Eve. When Mr. Hatch arrived home, he noticed a brown-paper package by the door. He rarely received anything except the newspaper. Just then, Postman Goober approached, smiling: “That’s for you.” Mr. Hatch, who had only ever nodded at him, mumbled a “Thanks”. Curiosity overwhelmed him. Tearing open the paper, he found a heart-shaped box tied with a pink bow, filled with colorful candies along with a tiny card that read “Somebody misses you.” Realizing it could be a New Year gift, which he had never dreamed of, the lonely man was excited and touched. His expression melted and a smile appeared on his face for the first time in years. He tasted the candies that filled his cold heart with sweetness. The next day, he dressed up in a clean shirt, tied a tie and set out cheerfully, hoping to meet his secret admirer. His smiling face surprised the neighbors, who were more shocked when he greeted everyone warmly. At lunch, he sat in the cafeteria's center, sharing candies with others. On his way home, he offered to watch the newsstand for the cold-stricken owner, and then helped the grocer find his lost dog. That evening, he baked cakes using his mother’s old recipe. The pleasant chocolate smell drew neighborhood kids around. He served them cakes and lemonade. For the first time, he felt a sense of belonging. 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。 Weeks later, Postman Goober knocked and admitted he had misdelivered the package. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The neighbors noticed his change and they decided to act. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2026届高三第一次调研考试 英语试题 注意事项： 1.答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、考生号、考场号、座位号填写在答题卡上。 2.回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡上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，写在本试卷上无效。 3.考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 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.

He described his experience as upsetting, saying, “Everyone in the café was staring at me. The person serving me looked up and said: ‘Oh,we’re not serving any more’. She turned around and walked off. But clearly, they were still serving.” Ghose underwent a surgery at 11, resulting in facial disfigurement (畸形), for which he was bullied in school. He struggled with self-acceptance and had to hide his face, unwilling to show it to others for a long time. A transfiguration came through a school activity — cricket, allowing him to connect with others and build friendships. Through the sport, he was able to redefine himself, changing focus from his appearance to his skills and passion for the game. As an adult, he continued to face upsetting reactions to his appearance, including constant staring, and whispered comments from onlookers. “The pointing, the tapping, the friend next to them saying ‘have you seen that guy’s face’, that is also constant,” he added, drowning himself in desperation. Ghose’s wife, Piyali, helped him learn to accept himself, encouraging him to share his story on social media. Despite initial hesitation, he started a TikTok account in early 2023, gaining nearly 200,000 followers and millions of likes. By sharing his experiences, Ghose became more self-accepting and confident. He transitioned from a law firm job to full-time motivational speaking, prioritising helping young people. “Disability or no disability, visible difference or no visible difference, we all have insecurities, we all have things that we’re faced with, and challenges we’re faced with. I just want to share with people that if we truly celebrate who we are, accept who we are, fall in love with who we are, then we can be more confident,” he said. 4. Why was Ghose denied service at the London café? A. He arrived there after closing time. B. The café was fully reserved that day. C. The staff were biased against his looks. D. He upset the regular work in the café. 5. What does the underlined word “transfiguration” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Shift. B. Thought. C. Prize. D. Record. 6. What caused Ghose to share his story on social media? A. Encouragement from his wife. B. The success in his law firm job. C. His childhood bullying experiences. D. Requests from his TikTok followers. 7. What message does the author seem to convey in the text? A. Actions speak louder than words. B. You are enough just as you are. C. A trouble shared is a trouble halved. D. Where there is a will, there is a way. 【答案】4. C 5. A 6. A 7. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述印度裔男子Ghose因面部畸形屡遭不公，板球带来转变，在妻子鼓励下分享故事并成为励志演讲者，传递接纳自我的人生理念。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Amit Ghose, a 35-year-old man of Indian-origin in Birmingham, has claimed that he was denied service at a London café due to his appearance.(伯明翰一位 35 岁的印度裔男子阿米特・戈斯声称，他因外貌问题在伦敦一家咖啡馆被拒绝提供服务)”可知，戈斯被拒绝服务的原因是咖啡馆工作人员对其外貌存在偏见。故选C。 【5题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段中“Ghose underwent a surgery at 11, resulting in facial disfigurement (畸形), for which he was bullied in school. He struggled with self-acceptance and had to hide his face, unwilling to show it to others for a long time. A transfiguration came through a school activity — cricket, allowing him to connect with others and build friendships.(戈斯11岁时接受了一场手术，导致面部畸形，他因此在学校受到欺凌。他难以接纳自己，不得不把脸藏起来，很长一段时间都不愿让别人看到。一场学校活动 —— 板球，带来了transfiguration，让他得以与他人建立联系、缔结友谊)”可知，戈斯从自卑封闭到能与人交往，状态发生了改变，“transfiguration”在此处意为 “转变”。故选A。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“Ghose’s wife, Piyali, helped him learn to accept himself, encouraging him to share his story on social media.(戈斯的妻子皮雅丽帮助他学会接纳自己，鼓励他在社交媒体上分享自己的故事)”可知，是妻子的鼓励让戈斯决定在社交媒体上分享自己的经历。故选A。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段中“Disability or no disability, visible difference or no visible difference, we all have insecurities, we all have things that we’re faced with, and challenges we’re faced with. I just want to share with people that if we truly celebrate who we are, accept who we are, fall in love with who we are, then we can be more confident(无论是否身有残疾，无论是否有明显的外貌差异，我们每个人都有不安，都有要面对的事情和挑战。我只是想告诉人们，如果我们真正赞美自己、接纳自己、爱上自己，我们就能变得更加自信)”并结合全文戈斯从自我否定到接纳本真自我的经历可知，文章传递的核心理念是“接纳原本的自己就足够了”。故选B。 C For gardeners who love neatness, autumn is a bit of a mixed blessing. Golden, autumn leaves look beautiful at first, but they soon turn brown and mushy, making many people want to throw them away. However, gardening and wildlife experts say this is unnecessary and even harmful. To those so inclined (有倾向的), Jon Stokes, the director of the Tree Council, shares his experience. “It’s not necessary. In 35 years of having a garden, I’ve never once swept a leaf, because I’ve never had to. They disappear within a week because the earthworms get them. The garden is completely full of wildlife and my grass has never suffered because of it,” he says, “Don’t take them away and drop them at the landfill, because you’ll have just taken all that goodness out of your garden. If you can’t bear to leave them where they are, get the kids to kick them into a corner, stick them in a pile, or let the hedgehogs (刺猬) and earthworms use them.” While gardens covered with fallen leaves may look like a mess to humans, to wildlife they are a vital source of nutrients and shelter. For an earthworm, a fallen leaf is a snack to be rolled up and pulled down into the soil. For an elephant hawk-moth caterpillar, it is a roof under which to shelter until spring. For a hedgehog, it is a bed to roll around in and turn into a nest. Even for a tree, the leafy covering is a source from which to “drink” during dry periods. Experts offer easy ways to balance neatness and nature. Oliver Fry from Surrey Wildlife Trust suggests piling leaves in dry spots for hedgehogs or wet areas for frogs. Leave some leaf-covered areas for insects, but keep others tidy. If you hate rotting leaves, cut them into small pieces — worms will carry them away faster, boosting the soil microorganisms. Adrian Thomas from the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds stresses keeping leaves in the garden instead of landfills. Every gardener’s small effort with leaves can help nature a lot. Leaves aren’t waste; they’re free, natural helpers for healthy plants. 8. What does “a mixed blessing” imply in paragraph 1? A. Autumn is a pleasant but sorrowful. B. Wildlife is lovely but harmful. C. Gardening is rewarding but laborious. D. Fallen leaves are beautiful but annoying. 9. What is Jon Stokes’ attitude towards leaf sweeping? A. Favorable. B. Opposed. C. Cautious. D. Unclear. 10. According to Oliver Fry, what should we do with fallen leaves? A. Send them to the landfill. B. Leave them lying around. C. Pile them in certain areas. D. Sweep them up right away. 11. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Leave the Leaves B. Warm the Worms C. Guard the Gardens D. Balance the Balance 【答案】8. D 9. B 10. C 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章指出落叶对爱整洁的园丁是喜忧参半的存在，专家表明清理落叶无必要且有害，还介绍了落叶的价值和合理处理方法。 【8题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第一段中“For gardeners who love neatness, autumn is a bit of a mixed blessing. Golden, autumn leaves look beautiful at first, but they soon turn brown and mushy, making many people want to throw them away.(对于喜爱整洁的园丁来说，秋天有点a mixed blessing。金黄的秋叶起初看起来很美，但很快就会变得枯黄软烂，让很多人想把它们扔掉)”可知，“a mixed blessing”指落叶虽美但后续会让人厌烦，是兼具好坏的事物。故选D。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“It’s not necessary. In 35 years of having a garden, I’ve never once swept a leaf, because I’ve never had to.(没必要扫落叶。我有花园的35年里，从来没扫过一片叶子，因为根本没必要)”以“Don’t take them away and drop them at the landfill, because you’ll have just taken all that goodness out of your garden.(不要把落叶拿走扔到垃圾填埋场，因为你会把花园里所有的养分都带走)”可知，Jon Stokes对扫落叶的行为持反对态度。故选B。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“Oliver Fry from Surrey Wildlife Trust suggests piling leaves in dry spots for hedgehogs or wet areas for frogs.(萨里野生动物信托基金会的奥利弗・弗莱建议，把落叶堆在干燥的地方给刺猬，或堆在潮湿的地方给青蛙)”可知，Oliver Fry建议将落叶堆在特定的区域。故选C。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，文章核心围绕落叶展开，专家指出清理落叶无必要且有害，介绍了落叶对野生生物、树木和土壤的重要价值，还给出了保留落叶的具体合理方法，最后强调落叶不是垃圾而是花园的天然帮手。选项A“Leave the Leaves (留下落叶)”精准概括文章的核心，适合作为标题。故选A。 D Sauerkraut (酸菜) has long been a bit player in the American diet, just serving as a side topping on the sandwich. But its time in the spotlight may be here. An increasing number of nutrition scientists and food companies want us to eat more fermented (发酵的) foods like yogurt, kimchi and sauerkraut. A growing body of scientific research is finding that fermented foods benefit health. When researchers at Stanford put people on a diet high in a range of fermented foods, they found their microbiomes (微生物组) became more diverse and the levels of certain inflammation (炎症) markers decreased. Maria Marco, a professor at the University of California, found in lab that sauerkraut contains more compounds that protect the lining of the gut than raw cabbage does. This could help explain the anti-inflammatory effect of fermented vegetables. The fermentation process can change the nutritional content of food by, for example, increasing the amount of some vitamins. Nutrition scientists say it can also make nutrients easier for the body to absorb. Growing concern in gut health and desire for less-processed products are driving consumers’ interest, said Stephanie Mattucci, principal strategist at market research firm Mintel. More companies are embracing fermentation, in which beneficial microbes are used to change food and drinks. To deal with the strong flavor of many fermented foods, some companies are even creating milder versions to win over more people. According to NielsenIQ, sales of fermented foods and ingredients reached $61.17 billion in the 52 weeks ending Oct. 4, up about 27% from the comparable period four years ago. “But there’s still a lot that scientists need to learn about fermented foods,” said Dalia Perelman, a nutrition researcher and registered dietitian at Stanford. “We’re trying to figure out if some are better for you than others, if there is a best type of fermentation and what exactly it is about these foods that makes people healthy.” 12. How was Sauerkraut traditionally viewed in the Americans’ diet before? A. Rare. B. Trendy. C. Minor. D. Worthless. 13. How does the author show the benefits of fermented foods? A. By studying cases. B. By analyzing the cause. C. By providing examples. D. By presenting research results. 14. What can we learn from paragraph 3? A. The market sales double annually. B. Milder versions are more nutritious. C. Fermented foods are gaining popularity. D. Consumers worry about less-processed food. 15. What can be inferred from Dalia Perelman’s words? A. Much research remains to be done. B. The best version has been produced. C. Clear reasons for health benefits have been found. D. Different fermented foods have equal health benefits. 【答案】12. C 13. D 14. C 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍酸菜等发酵食品在美国饮食中地位提升，阐述其健康益处、市场发展现状，同时指出相关研究仍待深入。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Sauerkraut (酸菜) has long been a bit player in the American diet, just serving as a side topping on the sandwich.(酸菜长期以来在美国饮食中一直是个小角色，只是作为三明治上的配菜)”可知，酸菜此前在美国饮食中处于次要地位，“bit player”与“minor(次要的)”语义一致。故选C。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“A growing body of scientific research is finding that fermented foods benefit health. When researchers at Stanford put people on a diet high in a range of fermented foods, they found their microbiomes (微生物组) became more diverse and the levels of certain inflammation (炎症) markers decreased. Maria Marco, a professor at the University of California, found in lab that sauerkraut contains more compounds that protect the lining of the gut than raw cabbage does.(越来越多的科学研究发现发酵食品有益健康。斯坦福大学的研究人员让人们食用富含多种发酵食品的饮食，发现他们的微生物组变得更加多样化，某些炎症标志物的水平也有所下降。加州大学的玛丽亚・马尔科教授在实验室中发现，酸菜比生卷心菜含有更多保护肠道黏膜的化合物)”可知，作者通过呈现斯坦福大学、加州大学教授的相关研究结果来说明发酵食品的益处。故选D。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Growing concern in gut health and desire for less-processed products are driving consumers’ interest, said Stephanie Mattucci, principal strategist at market research firm Mintel. Morecompanies are embracing fermentation, in which beneficial microbes are used to change food and drinks.

Since better self-discipline is something many people struggle for, this article will focus on how hobbies can deliver that. A good hobby can displace negative behaviors. Take Rob, who joins a Saturday rock-climbing group, as an example. To enjoy the trip, he naturally reduces heavy drinking on Friday nights. ____17____ Hobbies can create better routines. Any hobby requiring a new, positive routine will add structure to your life. For instance, having a dog establishes a daily walking habit. In this context, the key point isn’t anything to do with walking being healthful. It’s that the walking happens at the same time each day. ____18____ Hobbies build tolerance for physical efforts. Sports or intense exercise helps us develop a better sense of what healthy physical efforts feel like. We learn to put up with feelings like increased heart rate without mistaking them for signs that something is wrong. ____19____ Research shows regular exercise relates to better discipline in household chores, spending and study habits. ____20____ If a hobby makes you see yourself as more responsible, more capable, or more invested in discipline, you're more likely to develop those qualities. Consider hobbies involving leadership or teamwork. They can shift how you see your role in the world and encourage you to act accordingly. Therefore, improving self-discipline doesn't mean forcing yourself into a rigid model. It can be a natural result of finding a hobby you love and allowing it to shape you. A. Hobbies can transform your identity. B. Hobbies make you more capable than others. C. Thus, hobbies help teach time management skills. D. This tolerance can also be applied to other areas of life. E. This routine creates a point of organization in your evenings. F. However, self-improvement often occurs as a satisfying side effect. G. In this case, the hobby replaces the unhealthy habit with a fulfilling one. 【答案】16. F 17. G 18. E 19. D 20. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍爱好能从四方面自然培养自律，自我提升可成为爱好带来的令人愉悦的附带效果。 【16题详解】 上文“When people want to improve themselves, they usually try to do it directly through deliberate habit building.(当人们想要提升自己时，他们通常会试图通过刻意培养习惯来直接实现这一目标)”说明人们提升自我的常见方式是直接且刻意的培养习惯。空后“Hobbies are a prime example of how purposeful activities can lead to natural self-improvement.(爱好是有目的的活动如何带来自然的自我提升的绝佳例子)”说明爱好能实现自然的自我提升，与前文的“直接刻意”形成明显的转折关系，空处需要起到转折衔接的作用并引出“自然自我提升”的核心观点。选项F“However, self-improvement often occurs as a satisfying side effect.(然而，自我提升往往会作为一种令人愉悦的附带效果出现)”中出现转折连词However，完美衔接前后文的语义转折，同时“自我提升是附带效果”的表述为后文介绍爱好能带来自然自我提升做了铺垫，符合语境。故选F。 【17题详解】 上文“Take Rob, who joins a Saturday rock-climbing group, as an example. To enjoy the trip, he naturally reduces heavy drinking on Friday nights.(以加入周六攀岩小组的罗布为例，为了享受这次攀岩活动，他自然而然地减少了周五晚上的酗酒行为)”用罗布的具体事例说明爱好会让人主动减少自身的不良行为，空处需要承接这个具体例子并对其进行总结提炼。选项G“In this case, the hobby replaces the unhealthy habit with a fulfilling one.(在这种情况下，这个爱好用一种充实的行为取代了不健康的习惯)”中指示代词This case精准指代前文罗布参与攀岩减少酗酒的事例，句子内容是对该事例的直接总结，明确体现了爱好对不良习惯的替代作用，与前文衔接紧密，符合语境。故选G。 【18题详解】 上文“Any hobby requiring a new, positive routine will add structure to your life. For instance, having a dog establishes a daily walking habit. In this context, the key point isn’t anything to do with walking being healthful. It’s that the walking happens at the same time each day.(任何需要养成新的积极日常习惯的爱好都会为你的生活增添条理。例如，养狗会让人养成每天散步的习惯。在这种情况下，关键不在于散步有益健康，而在于每天都在同一时间散步)”可知，前文提到爱好能建立更好的日常惯例以养狗为例，关键在于每天同一时间散步，强调的是这种固定时间的routine带来的作用；结合选项可知，E项承 接的"the walking happens at the same time each day”，用“This routine”指代前文的固定遛 狗时间，说明这个固定时间点让夜晚的安排更有 条理。故选E。 【19题详解】 上文“Hobbies build tolerance for physical efforts. Sports or intense exercise helps us develop a better sense of what healthy physical efforts feel like. We learn to put up with feelings like increased heart rate without mistaking them for signs that something is wrong.(爱好能培养人对身体付出的忍耐力。体育运动或高强度锻炼能帮助我们更好地体会到健康的身体付出带来的感受。我们学会忍受心率加快之类的感受，不会误以为这些是身体出问题的信号)”说明爱好能培养人们对身体上辛苦付出的忍耐力。空后“Research shows regular exercise relates to better discipline in household chores, spending and study habits.(研究表明，规律的锻炼能让人在家务、消费和学习习惯方面表现出更好的自律性)”说明从爱好中培养的能力能延伸到生活的其他领域，空处需要起到衔接作用，体现出这种身体忍耐力的迁移性。选项D“This tolerance can also be applied to other areas of life.(这种忍耐力也能应用到生活的其他方面)”中指示代词This tolerance精准指代前文提到的“对身体付出的忍耐力”，副词also体现出语义的递进，完美衔接后文忍耐力延伸到生活其他领域的内容，符合语境。故选D。 【20题详解】 空后“If a hobby makes you see yourself as more responsible, more capable, or more invested in discipline, you're more likely to develop those qualities. Consider hobbies involving leadership or teamwork. They can shift how you see your role in the world and encourage you to act accordingly.(如果一个爱好让你认为自己更有责任感、更有能力或更注重自律，你就更有可能培养出这些品质。想想那些涉及领导力或团队合作的爱好，它们能改变你对自己在世界中所扮演角色的看法，并鼓励你做出相应的行动)”说明爱好能改变人们对自我的认知和定位，进而让人们培养出相应的优秀品质，空处作为本段的段首句，需要起到总领全段的作用，概括本段的核心内容。选项A“Hobbies can transform your identity.(爱好能改变你的自我认知)”精准概括了本段“爱好改变自我认知、塑造自我定位”的核心内容，能总领后文的所有表述，符合语境。故选A。 第三部分 语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共15小题：每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 At 80, Betty Kellenberger tightened her pack and set out to hike the 2,197-mile Appalachian Trail.

He followed a rigid and predictable routine that never changed. Every day, he left home at 6:00 for the shoelace factory, ate the same cheese-and-mustard sandwich at lunch, and stopped at the newsstand and grocery store on his way back. He read the paper and went to bed by 9:00 every night. A man of few words, he kept to himself, with no one knowing his family or entering his house. Everything changed on New Year’s Eve. When Mr. Hatch arrived home, he noticed a brown-paper package by the door. He rarely received anything except the newspaper. Just then, Postman Goober approached, smiling: “That’s for you.” Mr. Hatch, who had only ever nodded at him, mumbled a “Thanks”. Curiosity overwhelmed him. Tearing open the paper, he found a heart-shaped box tied with a pink bow, filled with colorful candies along with a tiny card that read “Somebody misses you.” Realizing it could be a New Year gift, which he had never dreamed of, the lonely man was excited and touched. His expression melted and a smile appeared on his face for the first time in years. He tasted the candies that filled his cold heart with sweetness. The next day, he dressed up in a clean shirt, tied a tie and set out cheerfully, hoping to meet his secret admirer. His smiling face surprised the neighbors, who were more shocked when he greeted everyone warmly. At lunch, he sat in the cafeteria's center, sharing candies with others. On his way home, he offered to watch the newsstand for the cold-stricken owner, and then helped the grocer find his lost dog. That evening, he baked cakes using his mother’s old recipe. The pleasant chocolate smell drew neighborhood kids around. He served them cakes and lemonade. For the first time, he felt a sense of belonging. 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。 Weeks later, Postman Goober knocked and admitted he had misdelivered the package. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The neighbors noticed his change and they decided to act. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Weeks later, Postman Goober knocked and admitted he had misdelivered the package. When he realized that the package, which had brought him so much joy and changed his life, was not really for him, he felt as if his heart had been broken again. He went back home, feeling lonely and sad. He stopped talking to his neighbors and went back to his old routine, as if nothing had happened. The neighbors noticed his change and they decided to act. They realized they should do something to help him feel better. They knew that what he really needed was the love and care from the community. So they prepared a big surprise party for him, inviting all his neighbors. When Mr. Hatch opened the door, he was surprised to see all his neighbors there, who were smiling and holding a big cake that read “We miss you”. He was so touched that he cried. From that day on, Mr. Hatch was no longer lonely. He had found a new family in his neighborhood. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，主要讲述了性格孤僻的哈奇先生在收到一个误送的匿名包裹后，生活发生了巨大变化，变得开朗并乐于助人，但当得知包裹是误送时，他再次陷入孤独，最终仍被邻居们用爱回应的温暖故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“几周后，邮递员古柏敲了敲门，承认他送错了包裹。”可知，第一段可描写哈奇先生在得知包裹是误送后的反应，以及他再次变得孤僻。 ②由第二段首句内容“邻居们注意到了他的变化，他们决定采取行动。”可知，第二段可描写邻居们为了不让哈奇先生再次陷入孤独，决定为他准备一个真正的惊喜派对，并邀请他参加，让他重新感受到社区的温暖和关爱。 2.续写线索：得知真相——再次孤独——邻居注意——准备派对——邀请参加——感受温暖 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①回家：go back home/return home ②意识到：realize/be aware ③准备：prepare/get ready for 情绪类 ①孤独：lonely/isolated ②吃惊的：surprised/amazed/astonished 【点睛】【高分句型1】When he realized that the package, which had brought him so much joy and changed his life, was not really for him, he felt as if his heart had been broken again.
