南安三中2025-2026年秋高二年英语试题（十八） 第一部分 阅读理解 第一节（共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分） A The Untouched Beauty of Patagonia Located in both Chile and Argentina at the southern tip of South America, Patagonia remains one of the planet’s last wild frontiers. Its landscapes — carved by ancient glaciers and shaped by constant winds — tell a story of elemental forces at work. ● The Ice Giants The region’s crown jewels are its 48 glaciers, including the Perito Moreno Glacier. Unlike most glaciers melting away due to climate change, this 30-km-long ice river still advances daily, carving massive icebergs into Lake Argentino with thunderous booms. Scientists monitor it as a climate “benchmark.” ● The Steppe’s Secrets East of the Andes, the Patagonian Steppe seems barren (贫瘠的) at first glance. Yet this plain protects wildlife like guanacos, elusive pumas, and the endangered Andean condor — its 3-meter wingspan making it the world’s heaviest flying bird. ● A Hiker’s Paradox Torres de Paine National Park offers granite (花岗岩) peaks piercing blue skies, but its fame brings challenges. Park rangers enforce strict “leave no trace” rules to protect fragile ecosystems from over 250,000 annual visitors. ● Conservation Dilemma While 30% of Patagonia is now protected, debates continue: Should dams be built on wild rivers to generate electricity? Can eco-tourism truly preserve wilderness? The answers may determine whether Patagonia’s beauty remains completely wild. 21. What is special about the Perito Moreno Glacier? A. It is called the crown jewel of the region. B. It breaks off into the lake with loud noises. C. Its role as a habitat for pumas. D. It is growing while most glaciers are melting. 22. According to the text, what’s the main concern about Torres de Paine National Park? A. The disappearance of its glaciers. B. The potential threat from dam construction. C. The impact of a large number of tourists. D. The lack of famous granite peaks. 23. What is the current situation of Patagonia’s land in terms of conservation? A. A lot of it is used for tourism. B. Most of it has been officially protected. C. Whether it can stay perfectly wild is still a question. D. People have agreed to build dams on all the rivers. B Two pig farmers in Suffolk, East England have succeeded in feeding one million bees after participating in a project that saw them turn over half of their land to wildflowers. Four years ago, brothers Mark and Paul Hayward decided to fill 81 acres of their farm land with wildflowers. This week, a study was carried out monitoring insect activity on the flower-covered land, which found they were feeding one million bees at any time. “This was our target when we started, to grow enough flowers to feed a million bees on a single day,” Mark said. “We are acutely aware that bees are under threat from modern farming methods and that East England is one of the worst places where bees are seriously suffering from lack of foraging (觅食) diversity,” he continued. “Every third bite of food you eat can come from bees and we wanted to create an operation on our farm that did not push nature out but rather hugged it — as a central part of our ecology system and our food cycle,” he said. The farm uses all kinds of seeds which can produce many different wild plants and of course, the bees can get food from different wildflowers. “We are taking a very small role in helping society restore a balance and this starts with plant diversity to encourage insects, bees, small mammals (哺乳动物), and birds,” said Paul. “At the end of the day, we see ourselves as caretakers of this land. Between us we have six children and we owe it to them to farm sustainability (持续性) and set an example for the generations to come,” added Paul. According to the Bee Conservation Trust, many types of bees have seen their populations decline by 70%, and two species have become extinct in the last century. Gill Perkins, CEO of the Bee Conservation Trust said, “Thanks to Mark and Paul, at least here, a million bees can keep living — a beacon (灯塔) of hope demonstrating what’s possible, which is of great significance for humans now and future.” 24. What can we know about the brothers from the first paragraph? A. They have about 160 acres of land. B. They grow wild flowers for pigs. C. They are not good at growing wild flowers. D. They have to support 1,000,000 bees on their land. 25. Why are bees under threat in East England according to Mark? A. They are affected by climate change. B. There are not enough wildflower varieties for food. C. Modern farming methods use too many pesticides. D. They are hunted by other animals. 26. What does Paul mean by saying “we see ourselves as caretakers of this land”? A. They feel responsible for protecting the land sustainably. B. They are paid to take care of the land by the government. C. They want to pass the land to their children as inheritance. D. They believe caring for the land is their job as farmers. 27. What does Gill Perkins think of the brothers’ action? A. It has little impact on bee conservation. B. It’s a significant contribution to the world. C. It should be criticized for being too small-scale. D. It is only beneficial for the brothers’ farm. C Some talk of building settlements on the moon or mars to help make sure humanity survives long into the future. Others have their sights set closer to home: on future cities under the ocean. “Technologically speaking, it is absolutely possible to colonize the bottom of the sea,” says Fabien Cousteau, a well-known ocean explorer who once spent 31 days living in what is now the world’s only functioning undersea habitat, Aquarius. It’s about the size of a school bus and located 62 feet below the ocean surface off the Florida Keys. Just as astronauts test what it would be like to live in space, aquanauts try out undersea living with an eye on the future. Escaping from disasters such as climate change, wars, or pandemics is one reason to live under the sea. Others include studying, exploring, or appreciating the ocean. It’s costly and expensive to constantly keep up an ocean habitat which must pump in or make its own air, electricity, and fresh water. Inhabitants have to deal with high pressure. And infections can develop rapidly due to high humidity. Despite the challenges, several new ocean habitats and cities are under construction. A series of space station-like undersea living quarters for aquanauts called Proteus are scheduled to be completed by 2025 off Curacao, an island north of Venezuela in South America. An undersea colony called Ven Base Alpha will be built near a hydrothermal vent, which would supply it with energy. Meanwhile, an undersea city called Ocean Spiral in Japan would link its surface to the deep sea, using the difference in pressure to generate energy and produce fresh water. This sounds amazing, but it would be extremely expensive and remains just a design. Not everyone agrees that building homes in the ocean is a good idea. This type of development could place even more strain(压力) on ecosystems that are already struggling with pollution and climate change. It’s important to make sure that any construction is done carefully, says Susanne Menden-Deuer, an oceanographer at the University of Rhode Island. Wild undersea habitats should be treated as “the precious, irreplaceable resource that they are,” she says. 28. What do we know about Aquarius? A. It is still under construction. B. It is the only ocean habitat in operation. C. It functions as an undersea school bus. D. It only allows a person to live there for 31 days. 29. What is paragraph 3 mainly about? A. The present and future of living under the sea. B. The purpose and cost of building undersea settlements. C. The reasons and challenges of living under the sea. D. The problems and findings of building undersea settlements. 30. What would be the result of building homes in the ocean according to the text? A. Rapid development of undersea habitats. B. Protection of irreplaceable ocean resource. C. Struggles with pollution and climate change. D. Negative impacts on undersea ecosystems. 31. Where is the text most probably taken from? A. A textbook. B. A travel guide. C. An academic journal. D. A science magazine. D In the fast-changing tech world, each new generation of wireless communication live, work, and connect with the world around us. Wireless technology entered the scene in the 1980s with the creation of mobile phones. The development of this 1G network was the first time when users could communicate with others without being tied to a landline. The desire for mobile networks led to 2G wireless’ creation in the 1990s. Then the early 2000s created the 3G network supporting mobile Internet use. Users could send emails, and enjoy faster connection speeds. Later, the introduction of smartphones marked the end of the 3G era and the beginning of the 4G era. Our current state of communication started in the early 2020s with the development of the 5G network. Following the great advancements of the 5G network, the next frontier is around the corner: 6G. At its core, 6G will be about more than just faster Internet speeds. It will enable a fully immersive (沉浸式的) digital world. Moreover, it will expand the boundaries of what is possible with the Internet of Things (IoT). In short, the potential applications of 6G are vast and varied. 6G’s ultra-low delay and high bandwidth (带宽) will enable telemedicine applications like remote surgery. Wearable health devices could provide continuous health monitoring, telling medical professionals about any signs in real-time. With ultra-fast communication between vehicles and infrastructure (基础设施), traffic management will become more efficient, improving overall safety. Most importantly, smart cities will develop fast on 6G’s capabilities, with everything being connected and improved in real-time. IoT sensors placed in infrastructure will monitor everything from air quality to energy consumption, improving people’s quality of life. 6G is the next step in the development of wireless communication, promising faster speeds, lower delay, and a host of new applications that will change industries and daily life. While it’s still in the early stages of research and development, the potential for 6G is great, and its arrival could have a great impact in the coming decades. 32. What does paragraph 2 mainly focus on about wireless communication? A. Its wide use. B. Its great benefits. C. Its main features. D. Its historical development. 33. How will 6G influence the field of medicine? A. By enabling real-time health monitoring. B. By increasing the accuracy of medical devices. C. By training medical professionals through VR. D. By improving medical waste management systems. 34. What can be inferred from the fifth paragraph? A. The success of remote surgery depends on 6G. B. The applications described need high-speed data transmission. C. 6G networks are already capable of powering smart cities. D. The primary goal of 6G is to make entertainment more enjoyable. 35. What is the best title for the passage? A. The History of Mobile Phones: From 1G to 5G B. How 6G Changed the World C. Into the Future: The Rise of 6G D. The Dangers of Wireless Technology 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。 Have you ever noticed how the people who shout the loudest often feel the weakest inside? While the unconfident tend to be quick to anger and easily disturbed, a mentally strong person is often calm, collected, and unshakable. 36 How do you know if you’re on the path to becoming one of these quietly powerful individuals? Here are some defining qualities: 37 Confidence is a product of continuous self-discipline (自律). Mentally strong individuals keep promises to themselves, set goals, and stick with them. They manage their time, energy, and emotions, gaining quiet assurance that translates into handling bigger challenges. Bringing positivity and uplifting others. A mentally strong person radiates (散发) positivity — not through forced smiles, but through a heartfelt, optimistic mindset. 38 Instead, they approach each roadblock with a solution-focused attitude. This kind of outlook is infectious, uplifting not just themselves but everyone around them. Seeing the big picture, not sweating the small stuff. 39 A mentally strong person, on the other hand, has a broad perspective. They don’t get stuck on who’s right or wrong in every argument — they’re focused on bigger things. They stop reacting to every criticism or setback and learn to let things go. Holding firm convictions (坚信) that give life meaning. Mentally strong people don’t wander through life aimlessly. They’re guided by deeply held beliefs — whether rooted in personal values, spirituality, or a commitment to truth and growth. 40 . Ultimately, mental strength means recognizing that failure, loss, and criticism are inevitable parts of the journey. With inner calm and wisdom, you can walk through life with courage and clarity. A. They don’t pretend problems don’t exist. B. Solving their own problems independently. C. Living with self-discipline and true confidence. D. Belief isn’t about blind faith but about clarity of purpose. E. These beliefs give them direction especially in times of chaos. F. A small mind gets caught up in petty drama and constant comparison. G. Their peace comes from within and shapes how they face life’s challenges. 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四个选项中选出最佳选项。 Elena wiped the dust from her only pair of shoes, her eyes fixed on the grand art school across the street. She had dreamed of becoming a painter since she was a child, but her family’s 41 made it seem impossible. Her parents worked 42 at a local factory, yet money was always tight. Every day after school, Elena worked at a small café to help with household expenses. But she never 43 her passion. In the corner of her tiny room, she kept a box of 44 brushes and leftover paints. Late at night, when the world was quiet, she would 45 on old newspapers, cardboard, or any surface she could find. One rainy afternoon, her art teacher, Mr. Harris, noticed a 46 she had left behind. “This is extraordinary,” he said, pointing to the 47 lines of a bird breaking free from a cage. He encouraged her to enter a city-wide art competition, but Elena hesitated. “I have no proper materials,” she whispered 48 . Mr. Harris smiled. “Talent isn’t about the 49 ; it’s about the heart behind them.” For weeks, Elena 50 her soul into her entry (参赛作品). She painted the story of her family’s 51 — the tired but hopeful eyes of her mother, the strong hands of her father, and the lively colors of their dreams. When the results were announced, Elena’s painting won first prize: a scholarship to the art school she 52 and a set of professional art supplies. Tears filled her eyes as she realized that limitations had never defined her 53 ; they had only strengthened her 54 . Her journey taught her that even the shabby brushes can create 55 if guided by courage and hope. 41. A. struggles B. tragedies C. plans D. secrets 42.

A. insights B. resources C. treasures D. wonders 第二节（共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 Technology has transformed the way people express 56 (they) and maintain relationships over the past decade. While it has made communication faster and easier, some experts believe that it may also make individuals feel more 57 (disconnect) than ever before. A recent survey showed that nearly half of young people spend more than five hours a day 58 social media. They can post pictures and send messages instantly. However, many of them still experience loneliness and 59 (anxious). Psychologists point out that online interactions, 60 appear social, can never fully take the place of real-life communication. Yet technology itself is not 61 (blame). Everything depends on how we make use of it. For instance, video calls allow family members to stay close even when 62 (separate) by oceans. Educational apps give students in remote regions access to learning resources 63 (previous) out of reach. The secret 64 (lie) in finding a balance between online contact and real-world connection. People should learn to manage screen time wisely and focus on developing genuine emotional bonds. After all, technology is 65 means — it should unite people, not distance them. 56. __________ 57. __________ 58. __________ 59. __________ 60. __________ 61. __________ 62. __________ 63. __________ 64. __________ 65. __________ 解析：本文是一篇说明文，主题语境为自然与环境。文章介绍了南美洲巴塔哥尼亚地区的自然景观、野生动物、旅游挑战和保护困境。 21. D 细节理解题。根据The Ice Giants部分中的“Unlike most glaciers melting away due to climate change, this 30-km-long ice river still advances daily ...”可知，与大多数因气候变化而消融的冰川不同，佩里托·莫雷诺冰川仍在每日向前推进。选项D“它在大多数冰川融化时仍在增长”准确概括了这一对比鲜明的特殊性。选项A“它被称为该地区的皇冠明珠”是事实，但这是对48个冰川的统称，并非该冰川独有的特点；选项B“它带着巨响崩裂入湖”描述了冰川前进时伴随的现象，但并非其区别于其他冰川的核心特征；选项C“它是美洲狮的栖息地”错误，美洲狮在草原部分提及，与冰川无关。故答案为D。 22. C 细节理解题。根据A Hiker’s Paradox部分中的“... but its fame brings challenges. Park rangers enforce strict ‘eave no trace’ rules to protect fragile ecosystems from over 250,000 annual visitors.”可知，公园的名气带来了挑战，管理员制定严格规则是为了保护脆弱的生态系统免受每年超过25万游客的影响。因此，大量游客的影响是主要担忧。选项A“其冰川的消失”在文中未提及；选项B“水坝建设的潜在威胁”属于“Conservation Dilemma”部分讨论的整个区域的保护困境，并非特指该公园；选项D“缺乏著名的花岗岩峰”与文中“offers granite (花岗岩) peaks piercing blue skies”（提供刺破蓝天的花岗岩峰）的描述矛盾。故答案为C。 23. C 细节理解题。根据Conservation Dilemma部分中的“While 30% of Patagonia is now protected, debates continue ... The answers may determine whether Patagonia’s beauty remains completely wild.”可知，虽然30%的地区已受保护，但关于建坝、生态旅游等问题的争论仍在继续，这些问题的答案将决定其美景能否保持完全野生状态。选项C“它是否能保持完美野生仍然是个问题”准确反映了这一现状。选项A“大量土地用于旅游”文中未明确说明；选项B“大部分土地已受到官方保护”与“30%”的数据不符；选项D“人们已同意在所有河流上建水坝”与“debates continue”（争论继续）的描述矛盾。故答案为C。 B 本文是一篇记叙文，主题语境为人与自然。文章讲述了英格兰东部萨福克郡的两位养猪农民参与项目，将一半土地改种野花，成功为百万蜜蜂提供食物，并强调了保护蜜蜂、维护生态平衡和可持续农业的重要性。 24. A 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“turn over half of their land to wildflowers”和“fill 81 acres of their farm land with wildflowers”可知，他们用81英亩土地种植野花，且这81英亩是农场土地的一半。由此可推算，他们的农场土地总面积约为162英亩，即大约160英亩。A项“他们拥有大约160英亩土地”与此相符。B项“他们为猪种植野花”错误，种植野花是为了蜜蜂；C项“他们不擅长种植野花”未提及；D项“他们必须在土地上支持100万只蜜蜂”表述绝对，文章说的是监测发现他们喂养了百万蜜蜂，这是成果而非强制性义务。故选A。 25. B 细节理解题。根据第二段中Mark的表述“East England is one of the worst places where bees are seriously suffering from lack of foraging (觅食) diversity,”可知，他认为蜜蜂在英格兰东部受威胁的主要原因是缺乏觅食多样性，即没有足够多样的野花品种作为食物来源。B项准确概括了此意。A项“气候变化影响”文中未提及；C项“现代农耕方法使用太多杀虫剂”是对“modern farming methods”的可能解读之一，但Mark的原话未明确具体为杀虫剂，他更强调“lack of foraging diversity”；D项“被其他动物捕猎”文中未提及。故选B。 3. A 推理判断题。根据第五段Paul的话“we see ourselves as caretakers of this land ... we owe it to them to farm sustainability (持续性) and set an example for the generations to come,”可知，他们视自己为土地的守护者，有责任进行可持续耕作，并为后代树立榜样。这体现了他们对土地保护的责任感和可持续理念。A项“他们觉得有责任可持续地保护土地”准确反映了此意。B项“被政府雇用来照顾土地”无依据；C项“想把土地作为遗产传给孩子”是部分事实，但Paul强调的重点是“可持续耕作”和“树立榜样”，而不仅仅是财产传承；D项“认为照顾土地是农民的工作”过于宽泛，未突出其可持续性和责任意识。故选A。 4. B 观点态度题。根据文章最后一段Gill Perkins的评价“a beacon (灯塔) of hope demonstrating what’s possible, which is of great significance for humans now and future”可知，她认为兄弟俩的行为是希望的灯塔，展示了可能性，对人类现在和未来都具有重大意义。B项“它对世界有重大贡献”与此评价一致。A项“影响很小”和C项“应被批评规模太小”与她的积极评价相反；D项“只对兄弟俩的农场有益”过于狭隘，忽略了其示范意义和更广泛的重要性。故选B。 C 本文是一篇说明文，主题语境为科技与环境。文章探讨了在海底建造人类定居点的可能性，介绍了现有的海底栖息地、海底居住的目的与挑战、以及相关在建项目，并提及了此举可能对海洋生态系统造成的影响。 1. B 细节理解题。根据第二段中“ ... what is now the world’s only functioning undersea habitat, Aquarius”可知，Aquarius是目前世界上唯一正在运行的海底栖息地。A项“它仍在建设中”与原文“functioning（运行中）”矛盾；C项“它充当海底校车”，原文只是将其大小比作校车，并非功能；D项“它只允许一个人居住31天”，原文是指Fabien Cousteau曾在那里连续居住31天，并非限制只能住31天。故选B。 2. C 段落主旨题。第三段首先阐述了海底居住的目的（逃离灾难、研究探索海洋等），随后指出了面临的挑战（成本高昂、维持生存系统困难、高压环境、高湿易感染）。因此，本段主要围绕“海底居住的原因和挑战”展开。A项“海底居住的现状与未来”过于宽泛；B项“建造海底定居点的目的和成本”，成本只是挑战的一部分，不全面；D项“建造海底定居点的问题和发现”，“发现”在段落中未体现。故选C。 3. D 细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“Not everyone agrees ... This type of development could place even more strain on ecosystems that are already struggling ...”可知，在海洋中建造家园可能会给本已脆弱的生态系统带来更大压力，即对海底生态系统产生负面影响。A项“海底栖息地的快速发展”是现状，并非题干“建造家园的结果”所问；B项“保护不可替代的海洋资源”是专家建议应做的，而非必然结果；C项“与污染和气候变化作斗争”是生态系统正在面临的现状，不是建造家园的直接结果。故选D。 4. D 推理判断题。全文介绍了海底居住这一前沿科技话题，涉及现有项目、技术挑战、未来规划和环境争议，语言兼具科普性和时事性，最有可能出自面向大众的科学杂志。A项“教科书”通常系统介绍成熟知识，而非此类前沿探讨；B项“旅游指南”内容不符；C项“学术期刊”语言通常会更加专业和严谨，且会包含更多研究数据和文献引用。故选D。 D 本文是一篇说明文，主题语境为科技发展。文章回顾了无线通信技术从1G到5G的发展历程，并重点展望了下一代6G技术的核心特点及其在医疗、交通、智慧城市等领域的潜在应用前景。 1. D 段落主旨题。第二段按时间顺序介绍了无线通信技术从1G（移动通话）、2G（无线网络）、3G（移动互联网）到4G（智能手机时代）的代际演进。整段内容聚焦于其历史发展过程。A项“其广泛应用”和B项“其巨大益处”在段落中虽有提及（如发送邮件、更快速度），但并非段落主要展开的内容；C项“其主要特征”过于宽泛，未体现按时间顺序描述发展的核心。故选D。 2. A 细节理解题。根据第五段中的“Wearable health devices could provide continuous health monitoring, telling medical professionals about any signs in real-time.”可知，6G将使得可穿戴健康设备能够提供实时的健康监测。B项“提高医疗设备的准确性”、C项“通过VR培训医疗专业人员”、D项“改善医疗废物管理系统”在文中均未提及。故选A。 3. B 推理判断题。第五段描述了6G在远程手术、实时健康监测、车与基础设施超高速通信、智慧城市实时连接与管理等方面的应用。这些应用场景（如远程手术、车辆实时通信、城市设施实时监控）的共同前提是需要超高速、低延迟的数据传输，这正是6G高带宽、低延迟特点所能支持的。A项“远程手术的成功取决于6G”过于绝对，文中只说6G将“enable”使其成为可能；C项“6G网络已有能力驱动智慧城市”与最后一段“still in the early stages of research and development”不符；D项“6G的主要目标是让娱乐更享受”在文中未体现，段落重点在医疗、交通、城市管理等实用性领域。故选B。 4. C 标题判断题。全文以无线通信发展史为背景，重点在于介绍即将到来的6G技术的核心特点、潜在应用及其可能带来的变革，是一篇展望未来技术的文章。C项“迈向未来：6G的崛起”准确概括了这一核心。A项“手机的历史：从1G到5G”仅覆盖了文章部分背景内容，未突出6G这一重点；B项“6G如何改变了世界”时态错误，文章是展望未来，6G尚未改变世界；D项“无线技术的危险”在文中完全未涉及。故选C。 七选五 本文是一篇说明文，主题语境为人与自我。文章探讨了心理强大者的内在特质，通过对比外在喧哗与内在平静，引出了心理强大者的几个关键品质：自律自信、散发积极能量、着眼大局、拥有坚定信念，并最终指出内心平静与智慧的重要性。 1. G 空前描述了心理强大者沉着、冷静、不可动摇的特质。空后则转向提问“如何判断自己是否正在成为这样的人”。因此，空处需要一句承上启下的过渡句，既总结前文“平静”的来源，又自然引出后文对特质的探讨。G项“Their peace comes from within and shapes how they face life’s challenges.（他们的平静来自内心，并塑造了他们面对生活挑战的方式。）”完美承接了前文对“calm, collected, and unshakable”的描述，解释了这种平静的根源（comes from within）及其作用（shapes how they face challenges），为下文具体品质的展开做好了铺垫。故选G。 2. C 空处为段落小标题。根据本段具体内容，全段围绕“自律”（keep promises to themselves, set goals, stick with them, manage their time/energy/emotions）以及由此产生的“自信”（quiet assurance）展开。C项“Living with self-discipline and true confidence.（以自律和真正的自信生活。）”精准概括了本段的核心。其他选项均未同时涵盖“自律”与“自信”这两个关键元素。故选C。 3. A 本段小标题是心理强大者如何散发积极能量。空前说他们的积极并非强颜欢笑，而是源于乐观心态。空后以“Instead”转折，指出他们以聚焦解决方案的态度面对障碍。因此，空处最可能描述他们与“假装问题不存在”相反的行为，从而与后文的“解决方案态度”形成“不……而是……”的对比逻辑。A项“They don’t pretend problems don’t exist.（他们不假装问题不存在）”恰好填入此处，表明他们承认问题（不逃避），进而自然引出后文“而是积极解决”的论述，逻辑连贯。故选A。 4. F 空处位于小标题“Seeing the big picture, not sweating the small stuff.”之下。后文紧接着描述心理强大者拥有广阔视角，不拘泥于争论对错，专注于更重要的事。因此，空处应作为对比，描述一种相反的、拘泥于小事的狭隘心态。F项“A small mind gets caught up in petty drama and constant comparison.（小心思会陷入琐事和不断比较中。）”中的“A small mind”正好与后文的“a broad perspective”形成鲜明对比，“petty drama and constant comparison”则具体化了什么是“small stuff”，完美契合段落主题和对比结构。故选F。 5. E 本段小标题是“拥有赋予生活意义的坚定信念”。空前说明这些信念根植于个人价值观、灵性或对真理与成长的承诺。空白位于段落结尾，且后文是文章的最终总结段。因此，空白处应是对本段“信念作用”的总结强调。E项“These beliefs give them direction especially in times of chaos.（这些信念给了他们方向，尤其是在混乱时期。）”直接点明了信念的核心价值——提供方向感，并与前文的“guided by deeply held beliefs”及“in times of chaos”形成呼应，是对段落内容的恰当收束。故选E。 完形填空 本文是一篇记叙文，主题语境为人与自我。文章讲述了家境贫寒的女孩Elena怀揣绘画梦想，虽条件艰苦却从未放弃，在老师的鼓励下倾注心血创作参赛作品并最终获奖，从而获得梦寐以求的艺术学校奖学金的故事，传达出“才华在于内心而非工具”的深刻哲理。 1. A 考查名词辨析。句意：她从小就梦想成为一名画家，但家庭的困境让这看起来不可能。后文描述父母辛苦工作但钱总不够用、Elena需要打工补贴家用，这都表明家庭经济“struggle”（挣扎，困境）。B项“tragedy”（悲剧）程度过重；C项“plan”（计划）和D项“secret”（秘密）均与上下文描述的贫困现实不符。故选A。 2. B 考查副词辨析。句意：她的父母在当地一家工厂不知疲倦地工作，然而钱总是很紧张。根据“yet money was always tight”的转折关系可知，尽管父母工作努力，收入仍不足。“tirelessly”（不知疲倦地）最能体现辛勤工作的状态。A项“carelessly”（粗心地）、C项“peacefully”（平静地）、D项“occasionally”（偶尔地）均与语境矛盾。故选B。 3. C 考查动词短语辨析。句意：但她从未放弃她的热情。根据后文她保存画具、深夜作画可知，她始终坚持绘画梦想。“give up on”（放弃）符合语境。A项“account for”（解释，占）、B项“look for”（寻找）、D项“rely on”（依赖）均与“坚持热情”的语义不符。故选C。 4. C 考查形容词辨析。句意：在她小房间的角落里，她保留着一盒破旧的画笔和剩余的颜料。结合前文家庭贫困、Elena打工的语境，她负担不起昂贵的画材，使用的画笔应是“worn-out”（破旧的）。A项“brand-new”（崭新的）与贫困现实相反；B项“well-made”（制作精良的）和D项“much-loved”（深受喜爱的）虽有可能，但不如“破旧的”更能突出其条件的艰辛和坚持的可贵。故选C。 5. D 考查动词辨析。句意：深夜，当世界安静下来时，她会在旧报纸、纸板或任何能找到的表面上画画。全文围绕Elena的绘画梦想展开，且前文提到她有画笔和颜料，因此此处应是“paint”（绘画）。A项“entertain”（娱乐）、B项“remark”（评论）、C项“interact”（互动）均与绘画行为无关。故选D。 6. B 考查名词辨析。句意：一个雨天的下午，她的艺术老师哈里斯先生注意到她留下的一幅画。后文老师评论“This is extraordinary”并指向“lines”（线条），以及提及“a bird breaking free from a cage”（一只挣脱笼子的鸟），这显然是在描述一幅画作的内容，因此老师注意到的是她的一幅“painting”（画）。A项“pencil”（铅笔）、C项“backpack”（背包）、D项“message”（信息）均无法与后文的详细描述构成合理关联。故选B。 7. D 考查形容词辨析。句意：“这太非凡了，”他指着那只挣脱笼子的鸟的有力的线条说道。画面描绘的是“鸟挣脱笼子”，这一主题象征着自由和力量，因此线条更可能是“powerful”（有力的，强劲的），能传递情感和动感。A项“straight”（笔直的）、B项“dark”（黑暗的）、C项“simple”（简单的）都无法准确体现该主题所蕴含的张力与艺术感染力。故选D。 8. A 考查副词辨析。句意：“我没有合适的材料，”她害羞地低声说。根据“hesitated”（犹豫）和“whispered”（低声说）可知，Elena因家境贫困缺乏材料而感到不好意思，态度是“shyly”（害羞地）。B项“eagerly”（急切地）、C项“angrily”（愤怒地）、D项“gratefully”（感激地）均不符合她此时因自卑而犹豫的心理状态。故选A。 9. C 考查名词辨析。句意：哈里斯先生笑了。“才华不在于工具；而在于使用它们的那颗心。”Elena刚刚表达了对自己没有“proper materials”（合适材料）的担忧，哈里斯先生的话是针对此的回应，意在说明才华的关键不是“tool”（工具/材料）。A项“achievement”（成就）、B项“skill”（技巧）、D项“result”（结果）均与前文“materials”的担忧无法直接对应。故选C。 10. A 考查动词辨析及固定搭配。句意：几周来，Elena将她的灵魂倾注到她的参赛作品中。固定搭配“pour one’s soul/heart into sth.”意为“全身心投入于某事”，形象地表达了Elena倾注全部心血进行创作的状态。B项“hide”（隐藏）、C项“throw”（扔）、D项“lose”（丢失）均不能构成此搭配，也无法准确表达这种全情投入。故选A。 11. D 考查名词辨析。句意：她描绘了她家庭的坚韧的故事——母亲疲惫却充满希望的眼睛，父亲强有力的双手，以及他们梦想的鲜活色彩。破折号后的细节是对家庭故事的展开：母亲的眼睛“疲惫却充满希望”，体现坚持与乐观；父亲的双手“强有力”，象征辛勤劳作与支撑家庭的力量；“梦想的鲜活色彩”则表明在困境中仍怀有美好憧憬。这些元素共同勾勒出一个家庭在经济拮据的“局限”中依然顽强、不屈服的精神面貌，核心是“toughness”（坚韧）。A项“suffering”（苦难）过于负面，忽略了“希望”与“梦想”的积极面向；B项“love”（爱）和C项“unity”（团结）虽可能是家庭的内在情感，但未能精准捕捉上下文反复强调的“克服困难”“坚持梦想”这一突出特质。此外，后文Elena领悟到“局限增强了她的决心”，也与此处的“坚韧”主题一脉相承。故选D。 12. C 考查动词辨析。句意：……获得了她向往的艺术学校的奖学金……。文章开头提到Elena注视着街对面宏伟的艺术学校，暗示那是她梦想的学校。“admire”（钦佩，向往）在此处引申为“向往的”，符合语境。A项“attend”（就读）、B项“quit”（离开）、D项“run”（经营）均与“梦想获得其奖学金”的语义不符。故选C。 13. B 考查名词辨析。句意：泪水盈满了她的眼眶，她意识到局限从未定义她的潜力；它们只是增强了她的决心。全文主旨是Elena克服外在条件（局限）追求并实现了艺术梦想，这说明局限并没有限制住她内在的“potential”（潜力）。A项“school”（学校）、C项“work”（工作）、D项“poverty”（贫困）均不是“局限”所试图定义的对象。故选B。 14. A 考查名词辨析。句意同上。根据故事发展，正是经济上的局限（困难）锻炼并强化了她追求梦想的“determination”（决心）。B项“confidence”（信心）可能是结果之一，但“决心”更能体现克服困难过程中的坚持这一核心品质；C项“patience”（耐心）和D项“independence”（独立）与上下文强调的“克服困难实现梦想”的焦点关联不直接。故选A。 15. D 考查名词辨析。句意：她的旅程教会她，即使破旧的画笔，若在勇气和希望的指引下，也能创造奇迹。这是文章的升华句，与开头的困境和中间的奋斗形成呼应，强调心灵的伟大可以超越物质的贫乏，创造出“wonder”（奇迹）。A项“insight”（洞察）、B项“resource”（资源）、C项“treasure”（财富）均不如“奇迹”能如此强烈地体现从“破旧画笔”到“非凡成就”的惊人对比与升华。故选D。 语法填空： 本文是一篇说明文。文章探讨了科技在过去十年中如何改变人们表达自我和维护关系的方式，分析了社交媒体使用与孤独感并存的现象，指出技术本身并非问题所在，关键在于如何平衡线上联系与现实世界的情感联结。 1. themselves 考查代词。句意：科技已经改变了人们在过去十年中表达自己和维护关系的方式。动词express后面需要接宾语，且指代的是前文的people（复数），因此应用反身代词themselves，表示“他们自己”。故填themselves。 2. disconnected 考查形容词（分词作形容词）。句意：虽然它使沟通更快更容易，但一些专家认为，它也可能使个人感觉比以往更加断开联系。根据句意和逻辑，科技可能让人感觉更“疏离”或“断开联系”。空前有more，应填形容词。connect的形容词形式有connected（连接的）和disconnected（断开连接的）。根据语境，此处应表示负面的“疏离感”，故填disconnected。 3. on 考查介词。句意：最近的一项调查显示，近一半的年轻人每天花五个多小时在社交媒体上。表示“在社交媒体上”通常用介词on，固定搭配为“spend time on social media”。故填on。 4. anxiety 考查词性转换。句意：然而，他们中的许多人仍然感到孤独和焦虑。空前有loneliness（名词）和and，因此需要填入一个与loneliness并列的名词形式。anxious的名词形式为anxiety。故填anxiety。 5. which 考查定语从句。句意：心理学家指出，在线互动，虽然看起来是社交性的，永远无法完全取代现实生活中的交流。分析句子结构可知，此处为非限制性定语从句，修饰先行词online interactions，引导词在从句中作主语，应用关系代词which。故填which。 6. to blame 考查固定搭配。句意：然而技术本身并没有错。固定搭配“be to blame”意为“该受责备，应负责”。故填to blame。 7. separated 考查非谓语动词。句意：例如，视频通话可以让家庭成员即使被海洋分隔也能保持亲密。分析句子结构可知，此处为when引导状语从句的省略形式，其完整形式为“when they are separated by oceans”。主语they（指family members）与separate之间为被动关系，应用过去分词separated。故填separated。 8. previously 考查词性转换。句意：教育应用程序让偏远地区的学生能够获得以前无法触及的学习资源。空处修饰后面的短语“out of reach”，应用副词形式。previous的副词形式为previously。故填previously。 9. lies 考查动词时态和主谓一致。句意：秘诀在于找到在线联系和现实世界连接之间的平衡。主语The secret为单数，且此处陈述一般事实，应用一般现在时，故填lies（lie的第三人称单数形式）。 10. a 考查冠词。句意：毕竟，技术是一种手段——它应该团结人们，而不是疏远他们。means此处为名词，意为“手段，方法”，单复数同形。此处为泛指“一种手段”，且means以辅音音素开头，应用不定冠词a。故填a。 英语试题（十八） ( 9 ) 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
