I was something of a football player, but I had never been a good player, far less a great one. I played for the mere physical joy that I got out of the game, but I played with a will, and put my whole heart into the game. The result was that, though I had plenty of energy and enthusiasm, I was never picked for my college team. Let me confess frankly that this was only because there was another player in the same position who happened to be much better than me. I considered myself the better sportsman, but he was certainly the greater player. So I never grumbled or complained. I was content to wait and bide my time. And at last my patience was rewarded. It was for me a very special day. Our team had shot up into the final and was meeting its rival (竞争对手). Our star-player sent word at the last moment that he was ill and he could not take the field. Imagine the astonishment in the college camp! The thought was that the game was as good as lost, and so also, I confess, did I for this player was our trump card (王牌): That is what everybody always said. However, something had to be done, and that something had to be myself! The captain called me up almost apologetically for having failed to recognize my greatness before, and — there I was, on the playground, greeted by the cheers of my friends, and a few jeers from those who had little faith in my prowess. I can tell you that I played like a demon (技艺出众的人). I was here, there and everywhere — now leading the attack, now falling back to help the defense. It was indeed a thrilling moment in my life. For a time, I was the center of all attention, the object of universal applause, and “the observed of all observers”. And, believe it or not, it was I who put in the winning goal. It marked the top of a glorious day. Even now I look back on the episode with unmixed pleasure and satisfaction. 4. What can you learn about the author from the first two paragraphs? A. He was chosen into the college team. B. He intended to be a professional player. C. He performed better than any other player. D. He showed great interest in playing football. 5. What was the author’s patience rewarded? A. He received the captain’s sincere apology. B. He helped his school team to enter the final. C. He was finally considered as the trump card. D. He became a replacement for the sick player. 6. Why did the author say it was a thrilling moment in his life? A. He showed off his patience to the fullest. B. The audience applauded his performance. C. The audience observed players attacking. D. He played attentively in the final match. 7. What can we learn from the author’s experience? A. Patience is the best medicine. B. Care and diligence bring luck. C. Great hopes make a great man. D. Opportunity is for the prepared. C Have you ever escaped taking on a role or opportunity because you didn’t feel confident enough? Perhaps the voice in your head asked: “Why me? I am not yet ready, not capable enough, or don’t have enough experience.” If you can relate, you’re among the majority of women with whom I’ve worked. I recently asked more than 120 women, from areas including the U.S., UK, Australia, Georgia, Italy, India, Jamaica, and Bermuda: If you’ve ever avoided risks, what factors and reasons contributed to this? More than 70% reported that self­doubt, or not having enough belief in themselves, their capabilities, or their skills, was a driving factor. As one well­known executive told me: “Every day I doubt myself. I doubt that I am good enough to be where I am.” This shouldn’t come as a surprise. We know self­doubt is a pervasive and often paralyzing concern, particularly for women. A study by psychologists at Cornell and Washington State highlighted higher levels of self­doubt in women. Research has also shown that women will apply for a job only if they meet all of the qualifications, while men will apply when they fulfill only 60%. Another recent study identified a considerable gender gap when it comes to self­promotion, with women providing less favorable assessments of their own past performance and potential future ability. Ultimately, men take more chances on themselves, and that pays dividends in the long run. While this pattern of self­doubt emerged again and again in studies, my interactions, and my client work, I also noticed another commonality: These women’s self­doubts weren’t sabotaging their success. The vast majority of successful women leaders I’ve interviewed and coached have built exciting and satisfying careers even while facing self­doubt. What these women also had in common is courage in the absence of confidence—a trait that is often weaponized against women and used to explain why they fail to achieve career goals. My work has found that successful women take decisive action to move forward even while grappling with fears and doubts and questioning their own “readiness”. “As women, we often feel like we have to be 100% ready in order to move forward. But, if you are 50% or 75% there, jump. Just do it,” said Megan Costello, former executive director of the Boston Mayor’s Office for Women’s Advancement. 8. What is the real factor for women to escape taking on a role? A Higher risks. B. Different beliefs. C. Inner feelings. D. Related experiences. 9. What is typical of women in terms of self­promotion? A. They tend to be less optimistic. B. They prefer to be well qualified. C. They try to be favorably assessed. D. They hope to be clearly identified. 10. Which can best replace the underlined word “sabotaging” in Paragraph 5? A. Promoting. B. Weakening. C. Achieving. D. Balancing. 11. How do women with self­doubts succeed? A. They should be courageous and decisive. B. They should keep themselves unprepared. C. They should stop questioning their careers. D. They should learn from famous executives. D When you hear the word “uncertainty”, what emotions arise? Fear, anxiety, excitement, or determination? As humans, we experience conflicting needs: part of us needs to feel safe, secure and to have some routine, and another part of us needs variety and opportunity. Life inevitably brings uncertainty and change — a reality that has been particularly evident in recent years. How does our brain detect uncertainty? Research reveals that noradrenaline (去甲肾上腺素) plays a central role in our response to uncertain events. As a neuromodulator (神经调质), noradrenaline influences whether brain cells receive calming or stimulating signals, thereby regulating our mental state. To investigate the role noradrenaline plays, scientists at MIT conducted an experiment with mice. The animals were trained to push a lever upon hearing a high-frequency noise, receiving a drink of water as a reward. They also learned that activating the lever during a low-frequency noise would result in an unpleasant puff of air. The researchers then introduced uncertainty by including a sound of unclear frequency. The researchers discovered that the locus coeruleus (蓝斑) — a small brainstem area that modulates noradrenaline — was essential in detecting uncertainty. When the outcome wasn’t clear, and the reward was a surprise, the release was much larger. For example, when a mouse received a puff of air instead of the expected reward, the locus coeruleus sent out a large burst of noradrenaline. Over time, the mice became less likely to press the lever when rewards were uncertain. The study concluded that the brain learns to manage varying uncertainty levels, with the locus coeruleus playing a fundamental role. Complementary research at University College London identified two additional neuromodulators involved: acetylcholine (乙酰胆碱) helps us adapt to environmental changes, while dopamine motivates action during uncertain situations. 12. What is the primary function of noradrenaline? A. Enhancing brain sensitivity to stimuli. B. Creating emotional responses to uncertain events. C. Regulating brain signals through chemical release. D. Detecting various frequency sounds from different sources. 13. What can be inferred about mice from the experiment? A. They preferred uncertain rewards to certain ones. B. They avoided risks after unexpected outcomes. C. They could distinguish all frequency differences. D. They gradually learned to ignore the unclear sound. 14. How do neuromodulators work together? A. They coordinate adaptation and action systems. B. They compete to control human emotional states. C. They function independently in separate brain areas. D. They mainly work during laboratory experiments. 15. Which would be the best title for the text? A. Laboratory Experiments with Animal Behavior B. Chemical Responses to Environmental Changes C Human Emotions in Challenging Situations D. Brain Mechanisms for Handling Uncertainty 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。 Exercise is important in all phases of life, but for seniors, it’s crucial to maintaining independence.

I’ve ____30____ over $300 in donations from friends who wanted to join the cause, and we’ve helped more than 20 families this year.

It was almost time to leave. He jumped into the car with his parents and headed off to the Olympic-sized pool for the big swim meet. When his race came up, Mike was confident. He was strong and swift. Mike climbed out the pool, smiling. He had just won first place, making him the fastest boy in his age group. “Congratulations, son,” his father said. His mom gave him a hug, even though he was soaking wet. A week later, it was time for another swim meet. Like before, Mike decided to enjoy his favorite ice cream flavor. Mike remembered that the last time he had won a race, he also ate mint chocolate chip ice cream first. Maybe he’d win again. He’s taken first place again in his race. Mike was feeling pretty good. As it turned out, Mike decided to have some mint chocolate chip ice cream before every one of the next few swim meets. He began to think of it as his lucky charm. After several months of placing in the top positions of every race he swam, Mike was feeling unbeatable. And he wouldn’t admit it, but all that ice cream was adding a few pounds to his athletic swimmer’s build. It didn’t take long after that for Mike to start coming in second place – and then third – and then last place in his races. The lucky mint chocolate chip ice cream had lost its magic. On the day of his next swim meet, his mother sat down at the table with him. “Mike, we all love ice cream, but it’s not healthy for your body to eat so much of it. Maybe it’s time to quit the sweet treats for a while, especially before you go swimming.”” Mike unwillingly agreed. He went to the swim meet, and didn’t perform well. His father offered to go running with him a few days a week to help him feel better and strengthen his muscles. The extra weight soon disappeared, and Mike found himself breathing easier at swim practices. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右。 2.开头已给出。 Paragraph 1: As he dove into the water, he kicked his legs and stretched his arms as far as he could. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: His jaw dropped as he realized he had beaten his own best time, and everyone else too. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2026届高三年级上学期期末考试英语 第一部分 听力(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共5小题：每小题1.5分，满分7.5分) 听下面5段录音。每段录音后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段录音后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段录音播放两遍。 1.

I was something of a football player, but I had never been a good player, far less a great one. I played for the mere physical joy that I got out of the game, but I played with a will, and put my whole heart into the game. The result was that, though I had plenty of energy and enthusiasm, I was never picked for my college team. Let me confess frankly that this was only because there was another player in the same position who happened to be much better than me. I considered myself the better sportsman, but he was certainly the greater player. So I never grumbled or complained. I was content to wait and bide my time. And at last my patience was rewarded. It was for me a very special day. Our team had shot up into the final and was meeting its rival (竞争对手). Our star-player sent word at the last moment that he was ill and he could not take the field. Imagine the astonishment in the college camp! The thought was that the game was as good as lost, and so also, I confess, did I for this player was our trump card (王牌): That is what everybody always said. However, something had to be done, and that something had to be myself! The captain called me up almost apologetically for having failed to recognize my greatness before, and — there I was, on the playground, greeted by the cheers of my friends, and a few jeers from those who had little faith in my prowess. I can tell you that I played like a demon (技艺出众的人). I was here, there and everywhere — now leading the attack, now falling back to help the defense. It was indeed a thrilling moment in my life. For a time, I was the center of all attention, the object of universal applause, and “the observed of all observers”. And, believe it or not, it was I who put in the winning goal. It marked the top of a glorious day. Even now I look back on the episode with unmixed pleasure and satisfaction. 4. What can you learn about the author from the first two paragraphs? A.

Perhaps the voice in your head asked: “Why me? I am not yet ready, not capable enough, or don’t have enough experience.” If you can relate, you’re among the majority of women with whom I’ve worked. I recently asked more than 120 women, from areas including the U.S., UK, Australia, Georgia, Italy, India, Jamaica, and Bermuda: If you’ve ever avoided risks, what factors and reasons contributed to this? More than 70% reported that self­doubt, or not having enough belief in themselves, their capabilities, or their skills, was a driving factor. As one well­known executive told me: “Every day I doubt myself. I doubt that I am good enough to be where I am.” This shouldn’t come as a surprise. We know self­doubt is a pervasive and often paralyzing concern, particularly for women. A study by psychologists at Cornell and Washington State highlighted higher levels of self­doubt in women. Research has also shown that women will apply for a job only if they meet all of the qualifications, while men will apply when they fulfill only 60%. Another recent study identified a considerable gender gap when it comes to self­promotion, with women providing less favorable assessments of their own past performance and potential future ability. Ultimately, men take more chances on themselves, and that pays dividends in the long run. While this pattern of self­doubt emerged again and again in studies, my interactions, and my client work, I also noticed another commonality: These women’s self­doubts weren’t sabotaging their success. The vast majority of successful women leaders I’ve interviewed and coached have built exciting and satisfying careers even while facing self­doubt. What these women also had in common is courage in the absence of confidence—a trait that is often weaponized against women and used to explain why they fail to achieve career goals. My work has found that successful women take decisive action to move forward even while grappling with fears and doubts and questioning their own “readiness”. “As women, we often feel like we have to be 100% ready in order to move forward. But, if you are 50% or 75% there, jump. Just do it,” said Megan Costello, former executive director of the Boston Mayor’s Office for Women’s Advancement. 8. What is the real factor for women to escape taking on a role? A. Higher risks. B. Different beliefs. C. Inner feelings. D. Related experiences. 9. What is typical of women in terms of self­promotion? A. They tend to be less optimistic. B. They prefer to be well qualified. C. They try to be favorably assessed. D. They hope to be clearly identified. 10. Which can best replace the underlined word “sabotaging” in Paragraph 5? A. Promoting. B. Weakening. C. Achieving. D. Balancing. 11. How do women with self­doubts succeed? A. They should be courageous and decisive. B. They should keep themselves unprepared. C. They should stop questioning their careers. D. They should learn from famous executives. 【答案】8. C 9. A 10. B 11. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了大多数女性不够自信，自我怀疑。这并不奇怪。我们知道，自我怀疑是一种普遍的、往往会让人麻痹的担忧，尤其是对女性而言。研究还表明，女性只有在满足所有条件时才会申请工作，而男性只有在满足60%时才会申请工作。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“More than 70% reported that self­doubt, or not having enough belief in themselves, their capabilities, or their skills, was a driving factor.(超过70%的人报告说，自我怀疑，或者说对自己、自己的能力或技能缺乏足够的信心是一个驱动因素)”可知，女性不愿承担角色的真正原因是内心的感受。故选C。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“Another recent study identified a considerable gender gap when it comes to self­promotion, with women providing less favorable assessments of their own past performance and potential future ability.(最近的另一项研究发现，在自我推销方面存在巨大的性别差异，女性对自己过去的表现和未来潜在能力的评价不那么有利)”可知，在自我推销方面，女性的典型特征是往往不那么乐观。故选A。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。根据画线词后文“The vast majority of successful women leaders I’ve interviewed and coached have built exciting and satisfying careers even while facing self­doubt.(我采访和指导过的绝大多数成功女性领导者都建立了令人兴奋和满意的职业生涯，尽管她们也面临自我怀疑)”以及上文“These women’s self­doubts weren’t”可知，采访和指导过的绝大多数成功女性领导者都建立了令人兴奋和满意的职业生涯，尽管她们也面临自我怀疑，可见这些女性的自我怀疑并没有削弱她们的成功。故划线词意思是“削弱”。故选B。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“My work has found that successful women take decisive action to move forward even while grappling with fears and doubts and questioning their own “readiness”.(我的研究发现，成功女性即使在与恐惧和怀疑作斗争并质疑自己的“准备程度”时，也会采取果断行动向前迈进)”可知，自我怀疑的女性应该勇敢果断，来取得成功。故选A。 D When you hear the word “uncertainty”, what emotions arise? Fear, anxiety, excitement, or determination? As humans, we experience conflicting needs: part of us needs to feel safe, secure and to have some routine, and another part of us needs variety and opportunity. Life inevitably brings uncertainty and change — a reality that has been particularly evident in recent years. How does our brain detect uncertainty? Research reveals that noradrenaline (去甲肾上腺素) plays a central role in our response to uncertain events. As a neuromodulator (神经调质), noradrenaline influences whether brain cells receive calming or stimulating signals, thereby regulating our mental state. To investigate the role noradrenaline plays, scientists at MIT conducted an experiment with mice. The animals were trained to push a lever upon hearing a high-frequency noise, receiving a drink of water as a reward. They also learned that activating the lever during a low-frequency noise would result in an unpleasant puff of air. The researchers then introduced uncertainty by including a sound of unclear frequency. The researchers discovered that the locus coeruleus (蓝斑) — a small brainstem area that modulates noradrenaline — was essential in detecting uncertainty. When the outcome wasn’t clear, and the reward was a surprise, the release was much larger. For example, when a mouse received a puff of air instead of the expected reward, the locus coeruleus sent out a large burst of noradrenaline. Over time, the mice became less likely to press the lever when rewards were uncertain. The study concluded that the brain learns to manage varying uncertainty levels, with the locus coeruleus playing a fundamental role. Complementary research at University College London identified two additional neuromodulators involved: acetylcholine (乙酰胆碱) helps us adapt to environmental changes, while dopamine motivates action during uncertain situations. 12. What is the primary function of noradrenaline? A. Enhancing brain sensitivity to stimuli. B. Creating emotional responses to uncertain events. C. Regulating brain signals through chemical release. D. Detecting various frequency sounds from different sources. 13. What can be inferred about mice from the experiment? A. They preferred uncertain rewards to certain ones. B. They avoided risks after unexpected outcomes. C. They could distinguish all frequency differences. D. They gradually learned to ignore the unclear sound. 14. How do neuromodulators work together? A. They coordinate adaptation and action systems. B. They compete to control human emotional states. C. They function independently in separate brain areas. D. They mainly work during laboratory experiments. 15. Which would be the best title for the text? A. Laboratory Experiments with Animal Behavior B. Chemical Responses to Environmental Changes C. Human Emotions in Challenging Situations D. Brain Mechanisms for Handling Uncertainty 【答案】12. C 13. B 14. A 15. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍不确定性会引发复杂情绪，麻省理工等机构通过小鼠实验，揭示去甲肾上腺素等神经调质与脑区，共同调控大脑应对不确定性的机制。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“As a neuromodulator (神经调质), noradrenaline influences whether brain cells receive calming or stimulating signals, thereby regulating our mental state.(作为一种神经调质，去甲肾上腺素能够影响脑细胞接收的是镇静信号还是刺激信号，从而调节我们的精神状态)”可知，去甲肾上腺素的主要功能是通过化学释放来调节大脑信号。故选C。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Over time, the mice became less likely to press the lever when rewards were uncertain.(随着时间的推移，当奖励情况不确定时，这些老鼠就越不愿意去按压杠杆了)”可知，老鼠在出现意外结果后会避免风险。故选B。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Complementary research at University College London identified two additional neuromodulators involved: acetylcholine (乙酰胆碱) helps us adapt to environmental changes, while dopamine motivates action during uncertain situations.(伦敦大学学院的补充性研究发现了另外两种参与其中的神经调节物质：乙酰胆碱有助于我们适应环境变化，而多巴胺则能在不确定的情况下激发行动)”可知，神经调节剂通过协调适应和行动系统协同工作。故选A。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段“How does our brain detect uncertainty? Research reveals that noradrenaline (去甲肾上腺素) plays a central role in our response to uncertain events. As a neuromodulator (神经调质), noradrenaline influences whether brain cells receive calming or stimulating signals, thereby regulating our mental state.(我们的大脑是如何察觉不确定性的呢？研究表明，去甲肾上腺素在我们对不确定事件的反应中起着核心作用。作为一种神经调质，去甲肾上腺素能够影响脑细胞接收的是镇静信号还是刺激信号，从而调节我们的精神状态)”可知，文章介绍了不确定性会引发复杂情绪，麻省理工等机构通过小鼠实验，揭示去甲肾上腺素等神经调质与脑区，共同调控大脑应对不确定性的机制。由此可知，D选项“处理不确定性的大脑机制”最符合文章标题。故选D。 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。 Exercise is important in all phases of life, but for seniors, it’s crucial to maintaining independence.

It was almost time to leave. He jumped into the car with his parents and headed off to the Olympic-sized pool for the big swim meet. When his race came up, Mike was confident. He was strong and swift. Mike climbed out the pool, smiling. He had just won first place, making him the fastest boy in his age group. “Congratulations, son,” his father said. His mom gave him a hug, even though he was soaking wet. A week later, it was time for another swim meet. Like before, Mike decided to enjoy his favorite ice cream flavor. Mike remembered that the last time he had won a race, he also ate mint chocolate chip ice cream first. Maybe he’d win again. He’s taken first place again in his race. Mike was feeling pretty good. As it turned out, Mike decided to have some mint chocolate chip ice cream before every one of the next few swim meets. He began to think of it as his lucky charm. After several months of placing in the top positions of every race he swam, Mike was feeling unbeatable. And he wouldn’t admit it, but all that ice cream was adding a few pounds to his athletic swimmer’s build. It didn’t take long after that for Mike to start coming in second place – and then third – and then last place in his races. The lucky mint chocolate chip ice cream had lost its magic. On the day of his next swim meet, his mother sat down at the table with him. “Mike, we all love ice cream, but it’s not healthy for your body to eat so much of it. Maybe it’s time to quit the sweet treats for a while, especially before you go swimming.”” Mike unwillingly agreed. He went to the swim meet, and didn’t perform well. His father offered to go running with him a few days a week to help him feel better and strengthen his muscles. The extra weight soon disappeared, and Mike found himself breathing easier at swim practices. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右。 2.开头已给出。 Paragraph 1: As he dove into the water, he kicked his legs and stretched his arms as far as he could. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: His jaw dropped as he realized he had beaten his own best time, and everyone else too. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 As he dove into the water, he kicked his legs and stretched his arms as far as he could. It struck endless energy and motivation into his body. His teeth clenched and his eyes fixed on the finish line forward. Suddenly, two figures whizzed past, which startled him.

Just then, he thought of his sweat and his father’s encouraging smile.Gradually, his worry gave way to his confidence and the last 5 minutes saw him dash to the finish line, followed by the end of the race. His jaw dropped as he realized he had beaten his own best time, and everyone else too.The flowers in his heart were already in bloom. His parents came up and gave him a high five, grinning from ear to ear. “Hey, why not try your favorite ice cream and celebrate!” said his father, patting him on the shoulder. “Thanks, Dad, but I have given up the ice cream. It’s not such a lucky charm at all.” His eyes shone with wisdom. It was that day that Mike realized that one’s lucky charm was nothing but his diligence. 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了Mike参加游泳比赛之前吃冰淇淋能带给他幸运，但是后面冰淇淋似乎失去魔力，Mike接下来的比赛接连失利使得他不情愿地戒掉甜食，但是比赛还是没有获胜，随后父亲陪他锻炼，在接下来的一次比赛中他获胜了，并感悟一个人的幸运符不过是他的勤奋而已。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“当他跳入水中时，他踢蹬腿，尽可能地伸展双臂。”可知，第一段可描写他努力冲向终点的过程。 ②由第二段首句内容“当他意识到他打破了自己的最好成绩，也打破了其他人的最好成绩时，他的下巴都掉了下来。”可知，第二段可描写他获胜之后的情形和内心感悟。 2.续写线索：跳入水中——努力向前——落后——想起父亲鼓励的话有了自信——赢得比赛——获胜后的情形——感悟 词汇激活 行为类 ①冲向……：dash to/rush to ②.咧着嘴笑：grin from ear to ear/ laugh from ear to ear ③.轻拍他的肩膀：pat him on the shoulder/tap him on the shoulder 情绪类 ①.使惊吓：startle/frighten ②.感到他的心狂跳不止：feel his heart pounded frantically/feel his heart beating wildly 【点睛】 [高分句型1]Fearing to fall behind, he felt his heart pounded frantically and his mind went blank.（运用了现在分词作状语） [高分句型2] It was that day that Mike realized that one’s lucky charm was nothing but his diligence.（运用了强调句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
